She opened the door and stepped into the chamber feeling quite nervous.For the past two days, she had spent time with Leonard at the table. They had spoken about the future and other things and she was starting to grow comfortable around him and now, he had just summoned her to his room that morning.When she got into his room, he invited her to sit on the sofa adjacent to his bed. While rubbing her palms against each other tenderly, Sylvia sat and cast her gaze to the floor.Leonard cleared his throat loudly and threw his back against his chair.“David told me everything.” he began. He then took a deep breath. “I'm sorry!”Sylvia finally looked up at him.“I'm sorry for lying to you. When the autopsy report came and it was revealed that Ben was strangled, I was lost.” Leonard said.Sylvia sighed.“The thing about influential people is that sometimes, you can't differentiate your fr
Flashback!“What if I can't do it?” she said with trembling lips.The man sighed and walked up to her. He slowly reached for her hand. He then opened her palm and placed two pills inside.“We’ve talked about this over and over again June. You are not a baby. You can pull this off so go out there and show Daddy that you're a smart ass.” he said and patted her hand tenderly.June opened her palm and stared at the pills. Then, she slipped them inside her purse and took a deep breath.“I've done a lot for you child and I'm not asking you to pay me but if you can pull this one trick off, I'll be the happiest man in the world. I won’t ask for another favor other than this but if only she knew that it was just the beginning of his endless demands.She shut her eyes and felt a sense of calmness beginning to envelop her as he continued motivating her. He thenmoved closer to her and grabbed her arm like he was going to hug her.Then he began to whisper into her left ear.“If you want to make it
“You said we were only visiting June. You didn't tell me we were also going to see Cathrina.” Sylvia lamented as they traced their way towards David’s car.“If we are bent on making things right then we have to leave no stone unturned,” David replied. When they got to the car, Sylvia threw her back against the vehicle and heaved a deep sigh. David moved closer to her. He tilted her jaw with two fingers. “As long as you're with me, you don't have to worry about anything.”She threw her arms around him. “I love you, David.”“I love you most.”They got into the car and drove away. After driving for about twenty minutes, they made it to the detention center. As usual, Cathrina was informed of her visitors and she granted them an audience. The moment Sylvia and David walked hand in hand, Cathrina became emotional. She sniffled as tears began to well up in her eyes. The duo settled on the bench facing her. “You know what Sylvia? I used to think you were one of those gold diggers who
“Did you just hear what Fred said?” Sylvia flung the question at David the moment they walked into his room. “We can't get married in ten days.”David crashed by the edge of his bed with a sigh.The restless Sylvia began to pace.“Come and sit with me,” David told her.She didn't. She kept pacing back and forth.David stood up and grabbed her by the hand. He then led her to the bed.“There’s a lot on our plate David. There’s June to deal with, there's Griffin, and now…“Do you trust me?” David interrupted.She turned to him. “You know I do.”David swallowed and took charge of her hands. “There’s something you need to know.”He was staring directly into her eyes. Sylvia felt a tingling in her eyeballs. “There’s something you need to know too.”David sighed and then cleared his throat loudly. “I'll go first.”Sylvia encouraged him with a nod.“I met June recently.”Her eyes widened in horror.David didn't take his eyes off her. “I left home the other day because I couldn't bring myself
“You have five minutes!”Sylvia shut her eyes and opened them immediately. “You can do this, Sylvie.” She muttered under her breath and began marching forward.After making breakfast that morning, she decided to visit Cathrina at the detention center. She had thought about it the whole night and was ready to face one of her demons.She walked up to cell 4 as instructed by the woman at the counter and before opening the door, she stopped to ponder.What if David rages mad at the idea that she went behind his back to confront Cathrina?She sighed and reminded herself that she was on a personal quest. She will only be at peace once the circumstances surrounding her father’s death were laid to rest and now that she was carrying David’s child, she wanted to be at peace with the Wells.Sylvia pushed the door open and when she stepped in, she met Cathrina looking at her straight in the face.“I was taken aback when the officer told me one Sylvia Baker came to see me.” Cathrina spat and motio
David pulled open the door to his chamber. He walked inside with a bright smile and traced his way to the mirror.“I'm going to be a father!” David muttered under his breath as goosebumps took charge of his body. He stared at his reflection with prestige. Amidst the chaos, David never thought that he could be this happy. He cupped his face with his hands and broke into a resounding laughter. He quickly moved to the table beside his bed and began to pull all the cabinets out. When he got to the last cabinet, he collected all the photos and dumped them on the floor.When David returned to New York, he had asked his agent to get him the pictures of all the curvy girls in town; The one's he found appealing to the eye and for the past few months, he had been exploring them.“No more!” David declared and seized the pictures.He grabbed a matchbox and dashed out.
