"Anytime I see talks on women empowerment in our families, education of girls, helping them progress, finding them jobs, scholarships, I hear music playing in my head. It increases my heartbeat, causing tension in my arteries. It increases my cortisol levels, testosterone decreases. The left hemisphere in my brain is stimulated." Rickey said going hysterical while pulling the hairs on his head. Sania was frightened seeing his changing personality. She took several steps back from him. It wasn't usual for Rickey to behave in such a way. She had been seeing him since his diaper days and found his body language suspicious. "Rickey you are behaving like an imbecile. What are you doing at this hour in my house, Rickey? Go, get ready. Don't you have school to attend?" She scolded him in response to an older sister mustering her last drop of courage. "When a beautiful rose like you is alone in the house, how can I go and attend the boring lecture of that English teacher? I had been attract

Chapter 82 Ace was in contemplation if she was giving him the false information and in a plan to blackmail, she would have stepped back when he warned her that he will sue her at court on the basis of a false report. Cara is an intelligent woman, she knows she cannot win him before the law if she plays tricks with him. So it is a rarity that she is lying to him.  Damn it! What if she is telling the truth?Before meeting Scarlet he had slept with several women. What if Cara is one of them? There is no doubt that she is the woman with integrity and not one among those sluts who would do anything for the sake of getting those few dollars. Daniel is older than Angel. Th

Chapter 84 On the other side of the city….. The old man was sleeping. Black circles were clearly visible under his eyes because of the stress he had undergone from the last many months. His body shook with the slightest breeze that came from the single window of the dark room because of the weakness. Nevertheless the resolution to kill the man did not die in him who is responsible for his present state. Even in his dream he would aim to kill him and yearn to see the fear in his eyes. But would that ever happen, was a million dollar question. The elegantly dressed lady in a crisp pink cotton blouse and black pants who met him earlier knocked at the ra

Chapter 86 "Ace….Ace open your eyes, please Ace…" Scarlet requested with each of her eyes flowing a river. But Ace would neither talk nor open his eyes.  One of the security men called the ambulance. The bodyguards dispersed around the whole area to find out who shot him. But they found nobody suspicious. In the bedlam that took place in the area he would have already escaped from the place. The crowd gathered around. Angel sat on her knees and patted the cheek of Ace while crying, "daddy, open your eyes." "Madam, please don't panic, the ambulance is already on its way." One of the uniform men assured Scarlet. Five minutes later the polic

Chapter 88 "What is it?" Scarlet asked, losing the color on her face.  "Do not worry, ma'am, I only meant to say he would take a while to recover because he lost a lot of blood in the mishap." The doctor consoled her. "It has been two days since he was admitted to the hospital. But he wouldn't even open his eyes. Is everything alright with his vitals?" Scarlet asked him worriedly, fidgeting with her fingers. The doctor looked down at her playing digits and replied empathically. "Ma'am, like I told you earlier, he is very anemic which is the result he is taking time to recover. And that is why we have put him on observation. But as soon as he comes back to consciousness he can go home. Fresh fruit juices, a lot
