Elizabeth watched in horror at the cruelty of the two woman who always had a gentle persona whenever she met them. She didn’t expect it to turn out this way. She didn’t have a high opinion of Emile, nor did she like her but that was only because she was bringing in the bastard from another man into her family, to enjoy the same benefits as her grandsons. But she had never wished for anything of this extent to befall her; she thought that they would just push her down the stairs or something like that...... without thinking how dangerous something even as simple as pushing down the stairs could be for a full-term pregnant woman. “Why is it like this?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but mutter in shock. She turned her head to look at the one person whose opinion mattered the most to her, only to see his face turn ashen with every passing minute. She hastily stood up from her seat and ran to kneel next to him “Hubby…. I….” Adam turned to look at her, his face filled with disappointment and
Sheryl waited in vain for her father who doted her most to come and redeem her. On the second day, she could no longer hold on and started clamouring that she wanted the police to call her folks to come and meet her in jail. She didn’t believe that her parents would be so heartless to ignore her once they saw her pathetic state. These days Sheryl wasn’t really pathetic as she got preferential treatment; the cops didn’t dare to overdo, not because of their overflowing justice but because they didn’t know who Sheryl was. They were not sure if touching her would bring them endless grief. She kept saying that she was the future daughter-in-law of the Walter clan. Although the Walters never stepped into the world of darkness, who could say for sure? If it really was the Walters, then wouldn’t that mean they have bought eighteen generations of bad luck into their household? There were also those who were in a rush to flatter and obtain favours. This was a rare chance to obtain favour as t
Larry couldn’t harden his heart no matter how hard he tried. He rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital as soon as the phone was hung up. He could hear the conversation on the other end and knew that he wouldn’t be able to speak to Sheryl anytime soon. Sheryl’s mother was already in emergency unit by the time Larry arrived. He took over from the staff at Care Nursing Home and insisted on paying her for her trouble. It didn’t take long for the procedures to be completed and Sheryl’s mother to be admitted into ICU. Larry paid all the fees and requested services of a carer before leaving the hospital. Although he said he wouldn’t care, he couldn’t leave Sheryl alone. He got in touch with one of his lawyer friends and requested a meeting to discuss the case. They agreed to meet in the evening while the lawyer friend agreed to collect all the details. Larry kept his phone on him as he didn’t want to miss Sheryl's call in the event that she tried to reach him. He half expected her to call half
Chris didn’t know when he dozed off but was woken up by the footsteps outside their room even though they were barely audible. He too was a light sleeper like most people in trained in martial arts and didn’t give a damm about who he offended. He turned his gaze towards his sleeping beauty to see that she was still sleeping soundly, and nothing was out of place other than the bandage on the face and the pale complexion. As the footsteps got closer, Chris recognised the owners of the footsteps and hurriedly closed his eyes. In his defence, he didn’t want to be killed as soon as he woke up especially not since his wife and kids were well. He feigned to be unconscious forgetting that his best friend was not only the best doctor there was but also someone who knew him like the back of his hand. Neil did a quick check on Emile to make sure that she was recovering well before turning to Chris while Adrian stood by the door with a face full of schadenfreude. “Do you really need a doctor’s
The next morning, Emile woke up earlier than predicted, only to stare into two pools of deep passion and heart ache. “Good morning, Hubby” Emile smiled blissfully even though her face was still pale. “Good morning, Wife.” Chris leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips before touching his forehead on hers and whispering, “Wife, I am sorry. I didn’t protect you well. I almost lost you. I…..” Emile raised her hand to cover his mouth to stop him from talking. “This has nothing to do with you. You did very well.” Emile smiled as she lifted her hand and hugged him, kissing him gently on the lips, like a dragon fly touching the surface of water “Hubby, thank you for loving me and showing me what love is. Thank you letting me enjoy the joy of being loved.” “No… I should be thanking you.” Chris hugged her close and smiled “You gave an anchor for my restless soul and also gave me two beautiful babies.” “Babies…. Babies….” Emile suddenly remembered the wound Eva inflicted and touched
“You what???” Emile turned to look at Chris in shock. Chris’s face that had already turned ashen from Simon revealing his dark secret turned further pale on seeing the shock his wife’s face which was slowly turning white in addition to her already pale face. He had forgotten about this bunch when he took care of his good friends yesterday. “Your husband is too good.” Addison’s lips curled up, seeing the normally unshakeable young tycoon squirm. “He even gave Dr Livingston a run for his money. The nurses were saying that he lost his head and ran out of the operation theatre.” He didn’t hesitate to muddy the waters further, not realizing his dear sister’s face was turning paler with his indulgence. “Do you know that if First brother had not wanted to settle score with him, he would …..” Half way through his sentence, Henry slapped the back of his head stopping him from continuing “No one will think you are mute if you keep quiet.” “Aaaa….” Addison rubbed the back of his head as he l
“How can there be a party without the star?” Darcy laughed as moved to the side to give Neil access to the patients. Neil pretended to check on Chris and Emile before turning face everyone with an apologetic expression. He was getting ready to chase everyone out. However, Elizabeth interrupted his mental build up. “Son, how much longer are you going to ignore mom?” Elizabeth couldn’t bear it any longer; it was as if she didn’t exist in the room. Chris didn’t even look at her, not even once. He had acknowledged everyone else in the room, even the Burkes. “Son, mom was muddle-headed for a moment, she would never knowingly hurt you…” Elizabeth choked as she stepped forward to move closer to Chris. “Heh! Muddleheaded…” Chris snorted as he turned his head, his eyes blazing with anger. “Son…..” Elizabeth was shocked by the hatred she saw in her own son’s eyes even if it was only for a second, a second that his gaze flitted past her. “How long are you going to use the excuse of muddle-h
Elizabeth cried miserably all the way through the hospital corridor to the car. She leaned on Adam as she sobbed “Hubby …. My son….. he hates me…… Hubby, I really didn’t think that ……. I didn’t think….. my son….. he hates me…. Why would I need to live now? Oh…..oh…..” Elizabeth kept blabbering in between her sobs making all the Walters feel uncomfortable. Their little brother wasn’t wrong, but seeing mom in this state was unbearable. Luckily, they didn’t have to endure long, they had reached the car park and split up as their destinations were different. “Dad, I need to go to the company and the ladies have a catch up planned so I will send the kids home with the driver.” Mark spoke once they reached the car park. “Dad, mine too.” Veronica chimed in as she turned to Mark “Big brother, can you drop me and Peter off on your way.” Mark shrugged with a head nod. Soon, it was agreed that the kids were going to their grandparents’ place as the siblings had somewhere to had to be. Emile
