Dr Miller rushed in to the hospital and after speaking with the doctor in charge, he was directed to Lilian's room.All the Bladells were present including some people he didn't know. They all stood in the hallway, pacing, none of them daring to sit down.When Byron sighted Dr Miller, he stood up straight and walked towards him, meeting him halfway."I came on the next available flight. How's she?" Dr Miller asked. Byron sighed and bowed, his eyes trained on the ground."She's no better. Please, go and see her. You know her history more than these doctors." Byron pleaded, ushering him towards the room. "I'll be right out." Dr Miller replied, patting his back as he greeted the family and went in.Everyone waited with bated breath for him to come back out and after a while, the door was opened and he stepped out.Dr Miller cleared his throat in preparation to address the family, his eyes meeting with Byron's as he confirmed if he could tell them.Byron nodded in reply."Everything the

The bright light was beckoning to me but the darkness felt more comforting. That's why I chose to stay here.Until I heard their voices.It felt like years since I last heard anything but now I heard them clearly."Be in good spirits. She won't like to see you guys moping around like this." It was Rose that spoke and though I could hear the sorrow in her voice, she seemed to be trying to cheer them up.I wonder why they are sad."I will get to decorating the room. She should wake up to a beautiful sight." It was Christie that spoke this time."With as minimal noise as possible please, I'm nursing a headache." Byron's strained voice let out.‘Hey guys.’ I said, happy to hear from them. I didn't realize how much I missed them and if going into the light and leaving my comfort zone meant I could see them, then I will.No one replied me and there was silence which I didn't like."I think she likes purple. James, help us pump up some purple balloons." Rose said again, breaking the deafenin
A Racing Heart Chapter 100
The fact that I went through a near death experience and was in a coma for over a week and I was entirely clueless about it is crazy but at the same time scary. I would have remained oblivious if I died. Oblivious to the pain of my loved ones, oblivious to my own death.I was beyond surprised to find out I had a heart transplant. I still felt weak from time to time as my body was adjusting to this new organ but there was a notable difference. I was put under observation and had to undergo different examinations. It was nice to hear that I'll be making a full and steady recovery and I was healing up nicely. The moment Kayla saw me, she burst into tears before hugging me. "Do you know how frightened I was? I really was so scared" I patted her back to comfort her. "I'm sorry"She pulled away from my hug looking at my face her eyes rimmed with tears. "Never do that to me again or else I'll never forgive or talk to you again." she threatened."This would be the first and the last time" I

Lilian JacksonNo matter how much I prepare my mind I am still terrified every night. I gave myself a long hard look in the mirror, “Remember why you are doing this, Lilian Jackson. You are fine. Everything will be fine” I whispered the words of inspiration to myself. I proceeded to cover the dark circles under my eyes with powder and apply a pale pink lipstick on my lips. I gave my skirt a tug downwards but of course it didn’t budge. The body hugging uniform – an all black, off-shoulder top with a matching skirt that stopped at my thigh. It pushed me past my comfort zone but I had to put up with it.“Let’s do this.” I said aloud making it out of the changing room.I had been jostling around, trying to serve everyone. My partner had suddenly come down with the flu and left me all alone on this busy night. The manager was trying to see if anyone was available.** It was a little after twelve midnight and the bar was almost empty. I stared at the man in front of me, trying to keep the

BYRON BLADELLI hung up on Irene, my secretary, after telling her to pay off the victim’s family. The elevator came to an halt and I stepped out. I held Abel’s hot chocolate far away from my favorite suit. It was a gift from my younger sister, Rose when we – Abel and I- launched the company. I looked up in time to see a young lady making a beeline for the elevator. She looked so familiar. Like someone I’ve spent my entire life searching for.I stared at her in shock. Her red hair framed her face perfectly. “Could it be her?” I wondered aloud. The green eyes were the same as I remembered.The girl ran blindly towards me and almost fell. I caught her in my arms but she had already spilled the hot chocolate on my white suit. She was very different from her though. She never ran anywhere even when I begged her to run with me. She always walked like she owned the world even at such a young age. “Hey!!” I yelled, annoyed. Rose would surely have my head now. “Could you be anymore careles

After I was discharged on Sunday, my best friend, Kayla came to pick the twins and I – they were here throughout the weekend- up. We stopped at the bar to get my phone and purse.“Good morning Mr Timothy.” I said, knocking on the manager’s door. “Come in.” He called out. After two minutes, he finally looked up from his phone.“Lilian.” His face contorted into an angry look. “How dare you show up here again? We were almost sued, all thanks to you. Why on earth did you break a bottle on a customer’s head?” He shouted.“I’m..I’m so.. sorry sir.” I stuttered out. “It won’t happen again.”“Of course it won’t.” He said, a sneer on his face. “You are fired.”“Please sir, I need the money to cater for my family.” I pleaded with him. “I don’t think you need the money, afterall, you have a rich boyfriend.”I was confused. What’s he talking about?“Why do you look so confused, you thought we wouldn’t know? It’s all over social media. Anyway, just leave. I don’t want to see you again.” He said
