" Good morning, Miss Evans" The receptionist, a young girl in her early thirties, greeted Skylar as she stepped down from the stairs into the lobby " Sleep well?" She continued as she smiled at Skylar before bending down to search for something under her desk.
" Yes, thank you. Hawaii is such a beautiful place that I couldn't help sleeping soundly" Skylar replied in a
Elise stepped into the bedroom, which she shared with Vino after she had to get away from the restaurant. She was surprised to meet Vino in the room, he stared angrily into her face like he's ready to punch her if she did anything that wasn't alright.Elise sighed heavily and walked into the room, closing the door gently as she went to stand beside him, she knew he was in a bad mood. She imagines his father talking to him angrily about the drop in the shares and her heart reaching out to him.“ I'm sorry about your shares. I wish we all knew about the reporter who ratted you out. If only_____ ”" Why didn't you tell me about Adora?" Vino asked her as he stood up from the bed and made himself comfortable on the couch opposite her as he wanted to watch her facial expression. mix-up
Immediately Skylar stepped into the hotel, she knew all was not well. Right from the moment she met Paula pacing at the reception with a frown on her face, she knew something drastic had happened but she couldn't even imagine what that was?“ There you are” Paula exclaimed as soon as she saw Skylar approaching her with Gian following closely behind her.“ Where have you been? I've been trying to get in touch with you but your phone has been switched off” Paula told her as she nodded in greeting to Gian who was spotting a smile on his face.“ How are you, Paula,?” Gian voiced his greeting as he turned to walk away trying to give them privacy but Paula's voice stopped him on his track.
Vino stood perplexed at the foot of the plane surprised, he couldn't believe he was hallucinating right now. What was he expecting, that she comes with open arms saying that she wants him back? No, never, Skylar was too proud to do that. it was his fault for listening to Paula in the first place. No one could ever persuade Skylar to make up with him unless she wants to. It only shows that he loves her more than she did to him.“ Boss, the plane is about to leave”Vino turned to his bodyguards who had surprisingly shown up as requested by his brother Michael due to the media who were heavy on their quest.Vino nodded but pause as he let his eyes run through his body before stopping at the blinking noise on his stomach “ How many times I've I warned you not to come to me with a fake bomb on you
Skylar coughed as she tried to force her eyes open but it seemed too heavy for her to lift. At first, it seemed fuzzy but after she got her eyes open, she turned to stare at the darkroom in shock as she couldn't believe what she was doing here away from the hotel.A quick glance at her legs and hands, she discovered that they were being tired by heavy rope while she sat on a stool. Skylar tried to break free from the rope on her hands which was tied behind the chair but all to no avail.The memory of the past day flooded her memory as she remembers going to meet Vino at the airport before coming in contact with Elise. Speaking of Vino, Skylar couldn't help wondering if he was alright? Did Elise go through with her threat? Skylar cursed herself loudly for being weak. She couldn't protect herself or the man she loves. What will s
Vino paced to and fro his office, ignoring the heavy frown on Mr. Falcone's face as he sat crossed legs on the couch opposite Vino's table.“ Will you come to sit down for a minute, Vino? You are wearing me down with your pacing. I'm surprised how you seem to keep that up for an hour now” Mr. Falcone scolded him as he stood up to force Vino into the couch beside him since he saw he wasn't going to budge any moment soon.“ What's going on with you?” Mr. Falcone asked him as he pretended not to know anything. Even though Vino's father had told him everything this morning when he had asked him to talk to his son.Vino shook his head as his hands went to the watch at the back of his hands, he saw that the time was just a few minutes past noon. His eyes we
Vino stared at the document in front of him, not really making out the words in them. It was the budget paper for the forthcoming annual Art dinner but Vino might have well been staring at any other document for all he cared. His mouth pulled into a thin line as his eyes furrow, Vino couldn't force himself to work no matter how much he wanted to and this was the only way he could take his mind off her but this wasn't working. In a daze, Vino picked up the pen which was lying useless on the table, twitching it in his hands he bent to write absently on the paper in front of him while he thought of Skylar. It had been two weeks without Skylar by his side. Even when they had fought, he was content seeing her smile whenever she chatted with Madison or Cynthia but now________ she’s no longer here. It's like she disappears from the surf
Skylar sat gazing through the darkroom she had come to know as a home. Her hands went frequently to rub her belly which was still a surprise to her, she ought to be starting antenatal soon but here she is locked in an abandoned farmhouse and at Elise's mercy with no hope of ever getting out.Speaking of her pregnancy, she was surprised that Elise wasn't making any plans to do something to her baby. Coming here, she had thought Elise was trying to kidnap her to do bad to her baby but that didn't seem to be the case…The clicking sound of the heels approaching through the corridor dragged Skylar from her straying thoughts as she turned in the direction of the door which seemed to open immediately…“ I was beginning to think I'm being forgotten here,”
Vino carried Skylar out of the car and walked to his house which he had vacated for weeks ever since he lost Skylar.She was still sleeping soundly in his arms, he turned to Paula who was right beside him helping him with the door to the parlour where his doctor was waiting with his bag in his hands.“ Thank you for coming on short notice, Doctor Clinton, '' Vino told him, who nodded as he went to close the window blinds which were bringing in the breeze from the ocean. Coupled with the aircon, the breeze was too much for Skylar to handle.“ Anything for you, Mr. Thompson,” Doctor Clinton told Vino as he stepped closer to the patient who was sleeping on the couch where Vino had dropped her.“
