Freddie had been complaining of a headache for some times now. He had told Freya not to say a word of it to her brother. He had been managing it before she came to find him when she wandered from Emma's place. And like a good wife that Freya had now become, she said okay and helped her husband to secretly take his medicine. Freddie just got a job as a gardener and was excited to resume that morning before he slumbed. Freya was sobbing. What is happening to her husband? He wasn't responding when she found him except for an occasional loud sighing he made. Will he be alright? She stood outside the emergency ward where Freddie was admitted and waited for what the doctor would say. Greg glanced at his sister and saw her agitation. Thank goodness she went in when she did. Otherwise, they might not have met Freddie alive anymore. The couple had put up with him and he was glad they had mended their relationship and are now together. And his sister Freya had changed dra
Freya started sobbing. What kind of a daughter did she give birth to? No matter how unloving a father is Toba child, the child wouldn't say or be non concerned when the father's life is being threatened. She didn't believe her, she thought she was lying about her father's health condition? She started sobbing the more. This isn't Emma's fault, she was to be blamed. She has been a liar and has taught her daughter how to be subtle in getting things out of other people's hands. She was the one who even counselled her to twist everything away from Lucas Wright. She probably was thinking she was trying to be subtle with her. She knew she hadn't been a good mother to Emma but that day, she realised she had sown a seed in her daughter's life that might be difficult to uproot later. "I asked you what Emma said?"Greg asked again. Freya's fresh sob makes him feel as if she didn't get a positive response from Emma. He had always known that his niece was a stinking spoiled brat.
Pamela sniffled. She's been trying to control her tears but couldn't. Talking about it seemed to her as if she was pouring out her emotions. "When?" Lucas asked, still his gaze fixed on her. Louis Hayden is the father of her kids. It shouldn't be a problem if any of the parents chooses to be with the kids. But he needed to ask her some questions. He doesn't know on what grand she separated from Louis, what happened back then when she went missing that the Hayden's family spent so much on searching for her? Were they divorced, did she leave suddenly that no one knows why? What happened? "Yesterday. He went to their school and fetched them from there. My lawyer and I had a talk with him but the result of the meeting is, he isn't returning the kids to me" Pamela started sobbing. Lucas stood up and went to her, patting her back gently. He was courteous enough not to entertain the thoughts of embracing her. They are friends and not lovers anymore. "Get upstairs and
Pamela saw him smile and felt remorseful that she asked him that question. She ought to be happy that they fell apart, but she isn't going to derive any pleasure in seeing people close to her hurt and unhappy. No matter what had happened, Lucas was at a time, occupying her heart and Emma was her sister. Many waters might have passed under the bridge, but these two people used to be important to her. "And your son?" Pamela probed further. She wasn't taking her ice cream anymore. She was still glancing at Lucas. "Albert is not my son. Emma's boyfriend Rowland is his father. And now, they are together" Lucas explained briefly. He didn't give details. That would be for another day. If he starts talking about how everything went with him, the purpose of him taking Pamela out to ease her tense mood would be dwarfed. "Enough of talking about me. Let's talk about how you ended up being a princess?" Lucas changed the topic. Pamela sighed softly and smiled. She will thi
Lucas went to have a shower. He sank into his bed with his clothes on when he arrived. Burdened and weighed down with regrets. He was only just able to drag himself into the bathroom to have a warm bath. His thoughts haven't for once drifted off from Pamela. He loves her to the moon. He loved her very much, back then and even now, he loves her more. His love for her seemed to be increasing on a daily basis. He loves her, he has always loved her. But now, she loves someone else. She is in love with the father of her kids and Louis deserves her. He knows he doesn't deserve her, not after what he's done to her. Her happiness lies with Louis Hayden. The dude is cute, charming, rich and decent. He has every quality any woman would want. And only such men deserve to be loved by Pamela. He stood under the shower and let the warm water pour on his head, soaking his hair down to his body. He wished the water could get to his soul, to his heart and wash away the guilt
Louis Hayden was travelling and he jetted out of Oak City with his kids. He hadn't seen his parents in a few months, hence he stopped by to spend a few days with them. His parents had gone for a vacation in the U.S. He was welcome into their home. They had stayed a few weeks in a hotel before they decided to buy a cottage house in the City. They had called Louis back then and asked him of his opinion. He readily agreed to the idea and the house was bought. When Leah saw the kids, she almost gasped in surprise. Louis had the kids, how did he do it? How did that toxic woman, Pamela, ever let him have them? She stared at them with teary eyes, knowing how to react to the happy and excited boys and their giggling sister. "Go to Grandma kiddos," Louis declared, placing Dora on her feet and she smiled running into Leah's arms. Dora already met her Grandma Leah and Ellis when she was in the hospital. Now meeting them again after a few months, she ran excitedly to
"I'm so happy sir. Thank you so much sir. I promise to give my best to the organisation. My very best and see it gain a new horizon…" Lucas promised. "I look forward to seeing your promises fulfilled," his boss replied. When Lucas left his boss office, he moved his few personal belongings and went to take over his new office. That was when Nelly knew Lucas had been promoted. She went to congratulate Lucas and found him dialling a number. "Congratulations Lucas, on your new office" Nelly said, glancing at him dotingly. "Thank you, Nelly" he appreciated as his call got connected. He beckoned to Nelly that she could leave while he said "Hello babe" . He said shutting the door and going back to sit on the swivel chair. "I just got promoted to the level of a general manager.."Lucas chimed. He was happy and excited and the first person he called was Pamela. "Congratulations buddy...wow...so happy for you...we need to champagne Lucas" Pamela congratulated him.
"Are you crazy or something?" Louis Hayden frowned, his facial expressions became dark. He took a step backwards, totally avoiding Miranda's touch. "You walked into my room to ask me if you can spend the night here, are you crazy? If you feel cold why don't you double the quilt and hold your pillow tight. Better still, contact the hotel to get you a professional gigolo to keep you warm all night. Why looking for warmth in my room? Do I have a warming machine in here?" Louis reprimanded her. "Louis, if you turn a blind eye to the body language and cannot read the handwriting on the wall. I am telling you that I want you, I love you Louis. I have loved you since college. I didn't want you to avoid me, that's why I never told you. I love you Louis" Miranda Alvan confessed, coming closer to Louis. Louis' stares became frosty and cold. How dare she tell him she loves him and had kept it in her heart all these years? "Just stop it Miranda Alvan. Don't let me des
