DREWS POVI chuckled hesitantly, placing one step ahead of the other.“What do you mean, ‘have we met before?’” I asked dreadfully.My voice sounded unfamiliar to my own ears, tight, brittle, as though it could snap at any second.She heaved in a deep sigh, her chest rising sharply, a glint of fear flickering in her eyes.Real fear.Not confusion.“Don't come any closer!” she charged.Her voice cracked through the room like a whip.Her eyes darted wildly around the environment, scanning everything, the walls, the machines, the beeping monitors, as if she had just been dropped into a foreign world.Her breaths grew shorter and rapid.Like a trapped animal.“Where am I?” she demanded.Her fingers clutched the bedsheets so tightly that her knuckles turned pale.“Rebecca… um… I… uh…”The words refused to form.My throat felt dry.My chest tightened.This wasn't happening.This cannot be happening, I said to myself as suddenly the room felt twice as hot as ever. The sterile hospital air n

DREWS POV If there were an award for the most clueless and quite dumb person, id save it for Dr Felix. And watch him swallow the award whole. Right after he announced my ownership of the hospital, of course he was pleased to finally leave. “ listen i can explain.” I said to Rebecca, whose eyebrows were tilted up in surprise, astonishments, questions and so much unreadable expressions. “I bet you can.” She said as she helped herself out of my arm. “Rebecca wait….” “I need to see my dad, any other trail of secrets can wait. Im officially no more surprised.” She rolled her eyes as her every word counted with sarcasm. The private ward was awfully quiet, except from the indicator beeping that he was not dead yet. “What is wrong with him?” Rebecca asked, barely inaudibly. I looked away, But she hovered around me searching for my eyes. “If there is something you want to say, maybe right now should be a good idea.” Her arms fell on her sides. “He is in an induced com

RYANS POV “Anna….” I said in-between confused breaths, “Is…is it really.. you?” I asked, picking up the ring i tossed into a tiny space. “I …thought you were dead…i” i stammered in my confusion.“ …I'm sorry,” she swallowed saying. “I didn't mean to leave just like that..but i had to.” She trailed off. “No…listen Anna, where are you, thats all that matters to me, you are all that matter to me.”“Its…its….mmpphmm” she groaned. “Are you okay?, i asked greatly worried. “Its…its still bleeding profusely….” her voice kept growing feint. “Okay baby…okay….what i need you to do is to hold on to the spot. Hold on to it and tell me where exactly you are”I could imagine her nodding her head as she mustered the strength to speak again. “Im not sure but,” she suddenly lowered her voice. “Theres someone here with me, and i think he’s coming back.” Her voice shook. “Anna,” i kissed my teeth. “Don't end this phone without telling me where you are..” i pleaded with iota of audacity.“A di

RYANS POV. I stood stuck in the pool of blood, my legs too paralyzed to move an inch. But as distraught as i was, soon, something caught my eyes, One that glued my eyes and tied my tongue. On the spot, i went down in a squat and stroked my two fingers across the blood. Picking up the diamond ring i adorned specially for her on our first anniversary. “Anna…?” My voice cracked. But it had sounded like an apology, For being useless to my own self sleeping while she was sent on a mission meant for me. My fingers were shaking, My lips trembling, My heart pounding. Was she killed the moment she stepped foot in here? What have i done?” I whispered to myself, folding the piece of jewelry in my palms. “What have i done?!!!!!!” I roared this time around. Rage sinking through my every cell, i pulled the door open forcefully and galloped in. Not Fiona, not an army of the people who did this, not the entire world could contain the hell i was about to rain down. No

RYANS POV “Anna?” I said, rubbing off the sleep patches in my eyes. I rose up from the bed lazily, as the rays of lights fumbled with my sight. Where was she? “Anna….” I called. “Anna?” I lifted my voice as i walked down the stairs, feeling a slight breeze of panic rush through me. But still there was no sign of her anywhere. And as my eyes swept around the sitting room impatiently, They landed on my phone which was tossed at the corner of the couch. Slowly, the tension within me grew, for so many reasons but the most was that, I never keep my phone away from me. Why? Secrecy purposes. Could she have read or seen something that made her leave so early? Then i picked up the phone. My jaws dropped. My heartbeat moving in a rhythm that no words can form. “Fuckkkkk” i cursed out loud. “Ten minutes on the phone with Fiona,?????” What possible conversation were they having?? What could she have said to her? I slammed my hand against the table. My he

DREWS POV.“You know when you say it like that…it sounds like its not the same me,” i adjusted, moving closer to her. But her face had no emotions in them,it looked like all the patience she had in her was threading on only a thin space for explanation. “Rebecca, look at me…,”“Please” Then she reluctantly motioned her eyes to me.“Allow me open up to you when the time is right …”i beckoned.“Then i guess its the right time for you to leave.” She said with annoyance.“You don't get it,” i countered her immediately. “Its not about me, it has nothing to do about me.” “Then whom is it about?!” She raised her voice, if that counts.“Its about you….” She stared at me unbelievably. “I became your driver, because of you. …” my tone faltered. “Still doesn't make any sense.” She flicked her teeth saying. “Its the only way i could get closer to you, to protect you.”“Protect me from wha….”She cut in Impatiently.I stared into her eyes hesitantly, Rehearsing the words to say to her b

The aisle was lined with nearly or more than a hundred white flowers on each sides, it all almost felt real. What was this? A ‘crazy rich asians’ wedding?” I mentally chuckled as i took my first step. The guests which i had no idea whom they were all rose up to honor the bride, as curtsy demands of course but the, my throat suddenly tightened, There was no groom waiting at the end of the aisle. Where was lucas?The lace of my dress all so suddenly felt suffocatingky tight and my palm moistened with sweats from the internal volcano erupting within me. Isn’t the groom supposed to be waiting for the bride?” Someone whispered from the sidelines,”The murmurs were small and hushed at first, but then it broke into entire audible conversation between guests with each Walk i took.“Dad….” I took a deep breath saying, “the groom,—,” my voice trembled, “he’s not present.” “He will be here soon. Just put a smile on your face.” He said, tightening my arm around his, his Rigid posture The p

THE WEDDING DAY(Throwback) “Trisha!,” i stared at the mirror assessing Trishas wedding dress. She rushed in, eyes wide open as i smiled brightly at my reflection. “I look so pretty in your wedding dress,” i gurgled excitedly. “Don't you ever fucking do that again!” She yanked the veil from my hair…. “ its not a good feat to wear a brides dress vicky, are you crazy?” “Oh…uh, I'm sorry” i zipped down the dress immediately and suddenly, there was a banging knock at the door. “Ill get that.” I scurried off saying.“Uh, the bride isn't ready yet. How can i help you?” I answered the event planner who stood at the door face paled out like she had seen a ghost, “Whats wrong?” I asked, “Its been called off.” She answered in. Barely audible whisper. “What, did you just say?” Trishas voice sounded from behind, it came off as a hollow, breathless gasp, and i could see the ripple in her heart through her glossy eyes. “Wait…wait…how did this happen?” I continued to bask in my hopeless co

VIctoria pov He paused, but only long enough to allow me catch the steam off his shoulders, My heart thundered against my chest, could he at hear me out? Then he vanished into one of the many corridors. I took in a deep breath and pushed myself to move past the paralysis i was caught up in, from seeing lucas walk away from me. And then came the whispers. Lucas's fathers wing wasn't empty; it was alive with the quiet, murmurs of the staff moving like shadows through the corridors. Every time a maid passed my door, I could hear the faint, muffled rustle of gossip. According to Christopher, i wasn't allowed to step foot out of Lucas's wing, not until the whole marriage deal was done. So as i stepped foot out of the corridor, there were two body guards standing at ease at the door waiting to convey me to his wing. but to be honest, Christophers wing was quite lighter than whatever torment was waiting for me with Lucas. I quietly followed them, and they shut the do

LUCAS POV I fluttered my eyes open as a knock came on the door, "How do you feel now?" Christine asked, stepping in with a cup of coffee in her hand, I adjusted myself, sitting up. "How long have i been out now?" "About a week." She answered, gently placing the cup by my side. "Ughh..." i grunted, "that long?" I looked around me, i was neatly tucked in my own bed with clean bandages wrapped around me, "Where...wheres everyone....Where is Maddie?""She is being taken care if by the nurses..." she answered, " her recovery is guaranteed." I let out a breath of relief as she spoke, " wait," i suddenly snapped back up. "Has Xena started helping her out as well?" She paused. " i believe the other young lady is still recovering from her own share of the trauma," she sighed saying. I nodded my head leaning back in silence, "Is that all the questions you have left?" She asked quietly. Allowing the silence speak for itself through the vacuum separating us. I quirked my eyebrow. "

Lucas pov Christopher didn't move an inch. He just stood there his dark eyes measuring my raw, suicidal note,Then he shifted his eyes, lifting them up to face my mother, Elena, ...where had she sprouted from,Just then, the bitter and vile thoughts of Victoria hammered against my chest, the venom spreading even wider. "Christopher," she warned, her voice cutting sharply through the howling wind. "We do not have the time for a prolonged standoff with our own blood, its hopeless-,Christopher's heavy gaze slowly drifted from my face down to Maddie, who was still staring vacantly up at the sky.Then, his eyes dropped to my bleeding neck as my breath grew shorter, He gritted his teeth tight till a heavy, dark resignation finally settled over his weathered features. Then he looked up to his brother, who had a smirk on his lips now,He tilted his head slightly, "You know me brother. I don't do charity." Alexander said, his eyes haughty with mischief. "And what is that you want for t

LUCAS POV Alexander lifted his arm up, halting the angry sons from staking their spear right through my heart.Then he took steps closer to me, "Im going to do it myself," he said., pulling out tje sword from one of them, "I will be doing my brother a favor, sending you back to whomever your pathetic Ancestors in hell." He spat, tearing out the blood soaked bandage from the side of my neck, "Arrgghhhh" i groaned loudly, landing on my knees, He swung his boots over my already broken ribcage, throwing me flat against the sand, I choked out blood, groveling, and screeching breathlessly, "Lift your head up Lucas!...." He growled, grabbing me by my hair, "Now This is where you die." He said coldly, straightening himself, My breaths came off in short, raspy and bloodied form, my eyes blinded by sting of the sand, Suddenly, he paused, unusually quiet, like he had grown distant in thoughts, I continued to grovel not looking back whilr crawling away like a serpent on my belly, "Why
