"Miss, you should not come out like this. You are still so weak" one of the nurses urged Nina when they found her standing outside in the corridor. The nurse felt pity for Nina who was crying outside.
"He is not worth it. Come, you are still young and have a beautiful future ahead of you. Don't let a man like that ruin your happiness like this. If he doesn't want you, then you can find someone who would cherish the ground you walk on. Come, you have to recover first for that to happen" Ella urged Nina.Ella's words made Nina look away from Theo and Chelsea and concentrate on the beautiful woman standing beside her."I am sorry, I can't recollect your name" Nina said trying to remember where she met this woman who looked familiar.Ella laughed with mirth at her words."That's because we never met before. Let me introduce myself. I am Ella Vincent. The CEO of the Perfume company 'Fragrance' " Ella introduced herself.That's when Nina recollected where she saw Ella before. She saw her on the news. Nina recollected that Ella lost her husband recently and is struggling to run the company her husband left for her. The shareholders and the board of directors are pressurising her to sell her shares and leave the company because she couldn't turn the company over after her husband's death. Now the shares of her company are at an all time low."Hello Miss Ella, it's a pleasure meeting you" Nina shook hands with the sweet lady."Come, let's go" Ella urged Nina to go back to her room.Nina agreed and walked back inside. After the nurse made sure that she reattached all the wires Nina pulled out earlier, she left to get the doctor to check Nina who was out of Coma."I am sorry. It was me who was responsible for your accident. I was drunk and I risked your life along with mine. I know my apology won't cut it, but I am willing to do anything you want from my side" Ella offered honestly.Nina was quiet for a while. She is not angry with Ella. Because this accident showed her how much Theo values her life. This is the wakeup call she needed to wake up from the night mare from which she refused to back out."I have to thank you. This accident showed me that I have to move on and give myself more credit than I am giving. I just cannot let anyone trample on my self esteem. I have allowed too many people to play with my life. Not anymore. If you want to help me, then I have a proposal. If you agree, then it will be beneficial for both of us" Nina spoke maturely for the first time after she married Theo. She was blinded by her love for too long.Ella became curious about Nina's proposal."What kind of proposal?" she inquired with interest.Nina picked up her mobile which someone has placed beside her bed. She clicked and swiped something on her mobile. She opened a document which she was working on for a while now. She used to get bored sitting alone at home. So she decided to work on her skill during that time to pass her time."See this" Nina handed her phone over to Ella.Ella accepted the phone and started reading the document which Nina showed her."I know you are struggling to keep your husband's company running. In an interview, you mentioned that you used to take care of the administration side of the company and your husband is the master mind who creates incense for the perfumes your company manufacturers and sells. Now you are struggling with the technical aspects of the company. I am sure these formulas for the perfect blend of incense will help the company" Nina said confidently.Ella didn't understand much from the technical aspects of the document. But she found the combination of the incense very interesting."Usually I will never entertain a newcomer, especially when my company and my identity in my company are at risk. But my husband always used to tell me to take risks and live a little. I am going to follow his advice and take this to my technical team. Let's see what they think about this" Ella said frankly.Nina liked Ella. She is not mincing her words. She is Frank and is not giving Nina any false hopes to appease her because of the accident."Thank you, I will mail the document to you now. I will be waiting for your call" Nina said feeling positive after a year.Ella and Nina chatted for a while before Ella took her leave to attend a meeting with the board of directors. She settled the hospital bills for Nina and promised to visit her soon.After Ella left, Nina checked her mobile and noticed that no one called her. Not her father William Davis or his second wife Barbara whom her father married after Nina's mother passed away. She has a step brother Silas, who is creepy and likes to touch Nina inappropriately when no one is around. Nina used to prefer serving in an orphanage rather than staying at home. Her step mother loves to torment Nina and her father always supports her step mother. One day when Nina was working in the orphanage, one of the volunteer carried a lady who apparently fainted on the street nearby. Nina took care of the lady and helped her to relax with one of her special blend of Incense which helps to calm nerves and reduce anxiety and blood pressure.Nina later learned that the lady was none other than Mrs. Agatha Morrison, Theodore's mother. That's the first time Nina met Mrs. Morrison, who used to adore Nina alot. And that's when Nina met Theodore and fell for him. And he was forced to marry her because of his mother. Just a few days after their marriage, Agatha tumbled down the stairs and was critically injured. Everyone pushed the blame upon Nina who happened to be there when Agatha fell down.Theodore was forced to marry Nina and he never held anything for her. In his mind, she is just a gold digger just like other women who tried and failed to seduce him. So he believed others who blamed Nina. Why wouldn't he believe, the people who blamed her are none other than Barbara, Silas and Chelsea. After that, Theodore refused to even acknowledge her presence and never cared to know about her."Do you wish to ruin us completely this time?" Bianca demanded angrily. Stacy looked torn and sad. Her family which was once the reason she used to feel proud of is collapsing right infront of her eyes. She is feeling extremely sad. "Don't forget that he is your brother" she reminded Bianca, who glared at her mother. "I do remember that he is my brother and your son. But let's not forget that he is highly volatile and unreasonable. And definitely not the fact that he is too dangerous" Bianca argued. Stacy has tears in her eyes. She is trying to save her family, but its failing no matter how much she tried. "Mom, where is he? I know that you know about him. Please tell me, where is he?" Bianca softened her tone a little. Stacy is quite. She couldn't Betray her son. When Bianca didn't get a response from her mother, she shook her head with disappointment. "If he ends up killing someone else, we are done for. This time, the authorities will not leave us. We will be throw
"Mrs. Smith, we are here to search your house" one of the cops informed Stacy who looked stunned. "Searching? In my house? What is there to search about?" she inquired as her heart started to pound loudly with fear. She doesn't want them to search the house again. She is worried that they might find Bryan's secret room. Bryan is not there in his room, and Stacy doesn't have a clue where he is. But if the cops find the room, they will understand that Bryan was hiding there all along. If they find Aria's pictures on the wall, then they will understand that Bryan is dangerous for Aria's safety. Asher and Diego will be hell bent on finding Bryan after that. "Mrs. Smith, you know that we are just following the rules. So I suggest you to cooperate with us" the cop advised her. With no other choice left, reluctantly Stacy moved aside and gave way to the cops. She stood there while they started searching every inch of her house. Her hands started becoming sweaty with tension. Their sea
Asher wrapped his arms around his wife who just walked out of the shower. He missed her. The incidents in the recent past took a toll on their relationship. She turned distant as she distanced herself from everyone. "I missed you" he whispered. They were together all this time, and he was not referring to their physical distance. And she understood that. She turned in his arms and hugged him tightly. "I missed you too" she whispered softly. He grinned mischievously. "Then lets not miss anything now. Our parents are too eager to hold their grand children. Why don't we fulfill their wish?" he said and kissed her lips to emphasize his point. Her lips turned wide under his. She is completely on board with his suggestion. "Sounds like a good plan" she mumbled over his lips. That's what he was waiting for. He lifted her up in his arms and carried her to their bed before gently putting her down. He tugged at the binds of her bathrobe that held the two edges together revealing he
In the Smith residence, Stacy prepared a plate filled with food and carried it through a hidden door in Bryan's room. Inside the dimly lit room, Bryan was seen sitting in one corner while looking at the far wall where Aria's pictures are sticked to the wall neatly. "Bryan, now its not as chaotic as it was a month ago. You should go abroad and live a good life" Stacy suggested for the tenth time. Bryan huffed and pulled the food plate out of her hands before throwing it away in anger. "Mom, i already told you time and again. I will go once I kidnap Aria. She will stay where I stay. How hard is it for you to understand that?" he snapped angrily. Stacy bristled. She couldn't help but cry. When the news broke out that the cops have found out about Cynthia's murder, Bryan devised a plan to save his mother and sister. He hit them over their heads making it look like they are victims too. But in reality, it was his plan to fool everyone. Now, the Smith family is safe, but Bryan is ru
The news of Bryan Smith killing innocent people spread like wildfire. The Smith residence was swarmed by reporters within minutes, followed by the cops who surrounded the house. Inside the house, Stacy and Bianca were seen lying on the floor while their own blood was slowly pooling around them. "Mr. Smith, please cooperate with the authorities" the cops announced from outside. As this case got so much attention from everyone, they had difficulty to reach the Smith residence before the media could. They had to wait for the official permission to arrest Bryan. Some how, some one tipped the media off about the case. Now the area around the Smith residence is under the control of the cops who already has a hunch that Brian must have already escaped. When no response or no one came out from inside the house, the cops strangely entered the house from the unlocked front door. What they saw inside made them all stunned. "We need an ambulance. Call for an ambulance" Chaos erupted all ar
In the Smith residence, Bryan is anxious. He couldn't find where Lance is. His friends car was parked outside the abandoned mall, yet there is no sign of Lance anywhere. That is making Bryan anxious. He didn't dare involve the cops in this, as that would lead to many questions that would prove dangerous to Bryan. "Bryan, what should we do now? Where do you think is Lance?" Bianca asked worriedly. Bryan rustled his hair with frustration. "I don't know. Who else knows that you are going there?" Bryan asked, trying to find out where Lance could be. Bianca frowned. She remembered sharing it with her friend. "I told my friend, and thats all. No one else knows that i am meeting Sandro" she replied. Bryan's eyes narrowed. "Sandro knows that you would be coming there. I think he might be behind Lance's dissapperance" Bryan contemplated. Bianca gasped. "Bryan, he is not like that. Sandro is kind" she immediately jumped to defend Sandro. Bryan huffed sarcastically. "Think care
