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

"Marry me." She stared at me like I had suddenly grew horns. I stared at her back."What?!" She exclaimed. "I said, let's get married." I repeated. She looked more beautiful and relaxed than when we met at the hospital. She downed the glass of water that was placed in front of her. "Why should I do that?""Because you need it. You need me." I replied." Mr Bladell or whatever it is you're called, I do not need you for any reason whatsoever.""Are you sure, miss Lilian?" I smirked, picking up my cutlery to eat. I motioned for her to eat but she ignored me."I'm quite sure. I'm well aware of my needs.""Can we talk after dinner? I'm famished." I requested. "And please, eat. I'm certain you've not had dinner."She mumbled but picked up her cutlery anyway. On taking the first bite, she moaned softly, then flushed brightly as if she had been caught doing something wrong. I chuckled.After eating, our plates were cleared and I decided to not waste anymore time."Miss Lilian," I called ou

Kayla was already waiting outside when I was done."Hey. How'd it go? I was seconds away from coming to look for you." "I'm getting married." I blurted out."What?" She spat out. "You don't spring news like that on someone without prior warning, Lili.""I'm sorry. I don't know what happened back there but I'd like to go home and rest."I sighed, quietly hinting at the fact that I didn't want to say anything."Okay. Talk to me when you're well rested." She said, giving me a hug. "Thanks Kay. You're the best." She squeezed my arm and ignited the car.**A billionaire heir telling me to come over for dinner is what I woke up to this morning. My state of mind was unsettled. How could any of this be real?If anything was sure, it was the relief I felt from finding a solution to the matters that have been plaguing me. I didn't have to worry about our expenses or money for that matter. I had nothing to worry about and I couldn't remember the last time I felt this unburdened.I dug through

"Thank you, Mr Bladell.""Call me Kane. Please, feel at home.""Thank you for having me."She replied. I could see how excited everyone was and it made me happy. They could never find out that all this was fake.My mum led her towards the dining room while gushing over her, closely followed by my sister."She's really beautiful. I can see why you're so eager to get married." Abel said, patting my shoulder.I shushed him. "Don't ruin the surprise! I've not told any other person yet. I'm planning to tell them over dinner.""Okay." He made a mouth zipping motion. "Can we go eat? Hospital food sucks.""Why don't you go ahead? I'll join you."He nodded and walked away.I went to my room and brought out the diamond ring I had made for her this morning. Proposing in their presence will cancel any
