"Nicole?" I heard Sergio's voice from the other side of the door. My eyes widened and quickly, I ran back to the wheelchair to continue the act of being crippled. When I wheeled myself to the door and opened it, his gaze trailed on me for a bit longer than normal. "Is everything fine?" He questioned. "Why did you lock the door?" I..." I trailed off, thinking hard for another lie to tell. "I...wanted to change and the nurse isn't here yet, so... Did you forget something?" "My cellphone. Oh! It's over there." He walked into the room and picked up the phone. "I was looking for it everywhere." "Anything else?" I asked, trying to even my breath. "No." He shook his head. "I'll leave you to change. Are you sure you can manage? Should I call a maid to help?" "It's fine. I will be able to manage. Thank you." I said, practically chasing him out of the room. I couldn't wait for him to leave for I was scared of messing up. Immediately he shut the door, I quickly went to it and locked it,
A Quest For Vengeance 17: Meeting The Enemy
Mr. Eduardo Fernandez smiled at me, then turned to his son, and patted him on the shoulder. "Well done! That's a wonderful deed, but," His demeanor changed into an emotion I couldn't quite read. "Couldn't you have found a hotel for her to stay in, since your mum doesn't want her here?" I swallowed a lump in my throat — the way they were speaking about me as if I wasn't there was uncalled for. "Dad, we have already had this talk with mum. She has agreed to allow her stay. It will just be for a while. I'm not planning to keep her here forever." I suppressed the urge to laugh at his words. "We'll see about that." I muttered to myself. "Yes, dad," Diego continued from where Sergio stopped. "I honestly don't get what the fuss about." He shrugged. "Nicole is a beautiful, petite, young woman. Just take a look at her; what harm can she possibly cause? You guys should just let her stay. So far, she hasn't done anything alarming. So sending her out to suffer all by herself...will be a wicke
A Quest For Vengeance 18: Nicole Rodrigo
My eyes dilated. "Mo...motive?" I managed to stammer out. Panic gripped me as I wondered whether he had somehow unearthed my carefully laid plans or perhaps he was beginning to grow suspicious of me. It was a mystery how he managed to piece it together. The thought alone had me insides quivering. I would be doomed if those were the case. "I don't understand." "Come on, I was only kidding around." He chuckled, breaking the tension. "You should see your face. You looked really scared. It seemed as if I just exposed your secrets." "Hahhhh." I forced a laugh and replied hastily. "I have no secrets. I'm as plain as a sheet." "Yes you are." He concurred with a knowing nod. "I should leave you to have a rest. The nurse will be here in few minutes, to check up on you." As the door closed behind him, a sigh of relief escaped my mouth as I released a breath I didn't realize I had been holding. "Thank God he doesn't know anything. I was so scared," I murmured, pressing a hand over my rapidly
A Quest For Vengeance 19: Busted?
My eyes fluttered open at the sound of a knock on the door. My brows furrowed and I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand. Due to the excitement and anticipation of what I had planned today, I couldn't bring myself to sleep. I had only fallen asleep about an hour ago. "Nicole?" Sergio's velvety voice called through the door, a soft presence that seemed void of agitation. It had always been like that ever since I met him. It made me wonder if beneath his calm exterior lay an angry and evil man, waiting to be unleashed; after all, he was Mr. Fernandez's son. And there is a saying that goes; the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. With a scrunched up demeanor, I rose from my bed and made my way towards the door. But just before my hand could grasp the doorknob, I realized I had forgotten that I was supposed to be crippled. Suppressing a gasp of alarm from emerging from my mouth, I retreated to my bed and responded in a low-pitched voice. "Come in, Sergio. The door isn't locked." S
A Quest For Vengeance 20: Change Of Plans
My heart rate skyrocketed as Diego Fernandez's piercing gaze bore into me. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and my heart continued to race erratically. The walls seemed to close in on me as I realized I had been caught. In that moment, I couldn't bring myself to think of an escape route. It was over for me! "Nicole?" Diego's brows twitched as he called my name. In that split second, my heart stopped beating as I tried my hardest to fabricate a plausible explanation but to no avail. I ended up closing my mouth as no words could emerge. The intensity of his stare rendered me completely speechless and sent chills down my spine."You can walk?" His eyes broadened in surprise. "And you were talking about giving someone an extra reward. Who were you speaking to on the phone?" "It was..." My voice trailed. I tried again to come up with an excuse, but my brain seemed to have stopped functioning. I mentally cringed at my carelessness. "It was who?" He probed. "My...my friend, Ro...Ro
A Quest For Vengeance 21: A Bullet In The Chest
"I can't believe it." I continued. "Same here." "I guess it's finally time for me to move out." I forced a smile. To my surprise, Sergio nodded in concurrence. "Don't worry about not having a place to stay. For the meantime, I'm going to book a hotel for you. You can stay there for as long as a month, before you figure out a permanent place to stay."In your dreams, boy. In you dreams. "Okay. Thank you. I'll just pack my bags." "Alright. I will be waiting for you in the living room. My driver will check you in in a hotel on the way." He remarked and then ambled out of the room. "Really?" I scoffed. "Dream on, mister. I'm not leaving this house. Not anytime soon.." I felt irritated with the fact that despite all the efforts I had put in, I still couldn't get Sergio Fernandez to fall for me. The way he didn't think twice, before agreeing with me to move out made me question my charms. At that point, it seemed he would have said it if I hadn't first. He didn't care if I stayed or n
A Quest For Vengeance 22: The Crossroads
My eyelids fluttered open; heavy and gritty. It took a few moments for my vision to cooperate as the lightening in the room was a little too bright. Everything was blurry. I tried to move, only to wince as a sharp pain surged into my head. "Nicole? Nicole!" It was Sergio Fernandez. Although my vision remained blurry, I could recognize his voice. "Nicole, can you hear me?" "Sergio?" My voice emerged as a rasp. I could barely even hear myself. My whole body was hurting. I felt extremely uncomfortable lying on the bed. Slowly, the incident of how I got shot started replaying in my mind. For a horrifying moment, before I completely lost consciousness, I thought it was going to be the end for me. "You're finally awake," he smiled, taking my hand carefully in his. I can't thank God enough for this. I thought we were going to lose you. Luckily, the gun was aimed above your chest and no vital organ was hit." I already knew I was vengeful, but my action proved to what degree. I was willing
A Quest For Vengeance 23: Secrets And Lies
Looking at Sergio, I could see how his eyes were fixed on my lips. That was it. My moment of power. I covered my face with my hand. "I'm so sorry, Sergio. I also don't know what I was thinking. Seeing you so close, feeling your concern, I couldn't resist...." I calculatedly trailed off, letting the unspoken words hang in the air. "I shouldn't have done that." I peeked at him through my fingers, wanting to see other reaction my action might have sparked. Sergio remained completely still, then a ripple of confusion washed over his face. His brows furrowed. He hummed; his intense gaze still fixated in mine, seemingly searching for something. The kiss had indisputably ignited something in him. "I'm sorry..." I apologized again, looking everywhere but him. "It's fine," Sergio finally broke his silence. "I will speak to the receptionist." And with that, he was gone. striding out of the room. I let out a chuckle. I couldn't help but wonder why he seemed so shocked and confused by the k
