Love Me Softly CHAPTER 65 - A Deep Hit
George stirred in bed, the rays of sunlight brightening the room. He squinted and looked around, trying to adjust his sleepy eyes to his surroundings.What was the time? He looked at the clock and saw 7:20am.After a stormy day yesterday, the sun seemed to be rising too early today.He sat up in bed, plopping a soft pillow behind him to support his back. He still felt a bit down but better than how he felt yesterday. Tony would be standing in for him to take care of his mother until he arrived at the hospital. He really hoped there would be positive news today about his mother regaining her consciousness.The sweet aroma of baked potatoes and fried chicken caught his attention and he looked at the direction where the smell was coming from. The sight before him made George blink and rub his eyes…About twenty steps away from the bed was Rachel sitting on their small dining table for two, with a large plate of the delicious smelling food but not just that, she was glaring at him and pa
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 66 - Bleak
George and Rachel rushed into the hospital where Mrs Patricia was. It was already mid afternoon. Just as George expected, they were being followed at the beginning.But they managed to escape through a taxi they specifically booked. Today was a very busy day with lots of vehicles on the road. It wasn't easy for the 'bad guys' to follow them easily.As they stepped into the hospital, George glanced at Rachel "This is the only chance we have to come here. You can see what it took for us to come here peacefully today. They won't let us go if there is a next time….""I understand. Somehow, I wasn't expecting them to show up anyway. Morris is so relentless. But if you no longer come here, what's going to happen to your mother?""I have prepared a private apartment for her to stay in somewhere far away from here, with equipped maids and a chef. She is to remain hidden until we round up this case. We have all the evidence, so that shouldn't be a problem"Rachel nodded."Let's go in. She is o
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 67 - The Right Thing
George and Rachel came down from the taxi they had booked to return home. Instead of stopping right in front of the villa's gate, George told the driver to stop at the final junction that led to the villa.It would be better if he and Rachel walked home from there. Who knows?....If the bodyguards at the gate caught sight of the taxi driver and the plate number of his car, they could go as far as kidnapping him just to demand for where he and Rachel are coming back from.George was not hundred percent sure but he had a strong feeling that Morris believed that Patricia was not dead yet. Watching his own mother get crippled was enough for him, he would never allow Morris to harm her a second time. Because, she would really die if he had a second chance."Is it possible that Morris has sent some guys to check the database of all the hospital's in the country?" Rachel asked as they walked down the road."That's exactly my thought. I believe so but luckily, Tony has moved her away to a pr
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 68 - The Arrest
Rachel sat quietly at the dining table, eating her breakfast of waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon. She peeked at George who was eating at the opposite end of the table.Something was off. Maybe he had a lot on his mind or maybe he just didn't feel like talking. It felt like he was keeping his distance from her, avoiding her.During this period, precisely since the evidence showed Morris was behind her father's case and when Morris also tried harming Sophia, George had been acting strange. He was distant.He didn't treat her poorly or anything like that but he wasn't himself like the way he was when they first got married. He answered all her questions whenever she asked any but he never really 'talked' to her.Most of their conversations so far were either about her father in prison, Mrs Patricia who was receiving treatment privately or Morris and Judith…..They hardly talked about 'each other' these days.Was it because they were in their twelfth month of marriage and they only had
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 69 - The Court Case
Sophia held out a piece of tissue to Rachel and rubbed her back gently. They stood at an empty section of the toilet. The floor above them was the room where the final court case was to be held. "Everything is going fine. Why are you crying?"Rachel dabbed her face with the tissue and sniffed "Don't worry. They are not sad tears, I'm just so happy. I can't believe that the day I've been waiting for since the last six years is finally here…."Sophia smiled. "That's true. I still remember when you were leaving to get married to George. I thought you were crazy back then. I thought you would be harmed over here or that something huge would go wrong. I couldn't understand why you would choose to take this path but I'm glad that everything turned out for the best.""Yea…I'm so glad nobody died in this process unless it would have made things worse. It wouldn't really feel like a victory after all"Sophia switched on her phone and checked the time. "We have about an hour left before the cou
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 70 - The First Visit
5 Days LaterNothing would have prepared him for the way he felt the moment he entered the main villa of Imperial Hub Limited.What used to be Morris's villa….Arthur Reeves walked through the familiar pathway that led to where Morris used to stay. He used to go here to talk to Morris in his personal library. They would laugh, talk and joke around about different things.In the midst of their laughter and conversation, he never suspected for once that Morris despised him and was looking for a way to get rid of him.Till today, he still couldn't understand why Morris didn't just let him go….He knew that Morris felt uncomfortable about all the board members saying he was a better leader and businessman compared to Morris. He decided to leave because it made perfect sense to do so at that moment.He was already packing his things, making it known that he was resigning and would have nothing to do with the company anymore. Was that not enough?What else did Morris want? What else was he
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 71 - The Division
"Are you expecting me to apologize to you? Have you lost your mind, you crippled imbecile?"George rubbed his hands on his forehead as Judith hurled different words at his mother, Patricia who just stared at her.He despised this woman a lot. No, the word was 'hate'. He hated her….Ever since she got arrested five days ago, he had been replaying different scenes from the past in his mind, feeling different emotions….All the nasty things this woman had done to his mother for years and gotten away with. All the times she had made his mother cry behind closed doors. For the moments when she rubbed it in his face as a little boy that he meant nothing to his father and her son, James was loved more than him. For the moments when she never failed to remind his mother that she was an unloved wife….And many other things he didn't want to remember right now.He couldn't for the life of him understand how his mother accepted her into the villa in the first place! That was all the push she nee
Love Me Softly CHAPTER 72 - Heartbroken
Rachel stood still and gasped in shock. It felt like a cold wind blew past her as she stared in surprise at the man who stood before her.Did she hear him correctly now or was she hallucinating? He wanted a divorce. George wanted to divorce her.If anyone had told her that the moment she came back from the villa this morning after spending some time with her father, she would hear a ridiculous statement like this, she would have just stayed back!Had he been drinking? What nonsense was he saying?Rachel was so shocked she didn't even notice the tears already trickling down her cheeks. As she stood in front of him with the divorce papers in her hand, what even annoyed her more than anything was the fact that he had already signed his part of the divorce papers.So quickly….Did he want to get rid of her so fast? She had already told her parents and Sophia that she was not putting an end to their marriage. She had also made it clear to George that she loved him….Why was he suddenly de
