"She said she wasn't interested in him" she muttered.
* GUEVARA HOSPITALS* Isaac was running as he came out of the cab that dropped him. He literally dashed into the hospital, and he was breathless when he got to the reception. "Isaac? Thank gawd you're here" a doctor blocked him. "How's my mom doing?" He asked impatiently. "Another hidden tumor surfaced in her front lobe, and we have to carry out the surgery unfailingly tomorrow" the doctor replied, holding his shoulder. "You're gonna open up her head this time?" Isaac said fearfully. "Calm, she'll make it. The problem is the expenses, you can get the bill from the nurses. I have to go now" the doctor said and left with another set of doctors. "Here" a nurse handed him the bill card, and he almost fainted. "It's not month-end yet. I can't get this amount tomorrow I swear. I... "I'm sorry Isaac, but you know we never ask you to pay before surgery, and you're already owing the hospital a lot. She needs this surgery" the nurse said as a matter of fact. "Fûck... I'm really... I'm helpless and... "I'll pay" a familiar voice said behind him, and he turned to see Hyce standing there like a godsent. "Hyce?" Isaac said, wiping the small tear in his eyes. "Give me the bills" Hyce took it, and Isaac stepped back, sniffling as Hyce cleared the bills easily, even the ones he's owing the hospital. He came back to meet Isaac who's standing gently beside the wall. "All done, let's go see your mum" he said. "Thank you, I'll pay you back I promise. I'll work hard and pay you back" Isaac said, holding his hand. Hyce looked at the contact before looking back at his face. "No need" he said plainly. "But... "Your mum" Hyce cut him off, and Isaac sniffled before nodding. They went to her ward together, and they met the woman conscious. "Mum" Isaac rushed to her bedside to stroke her hair. Hyce stood at a safe distance. "Isaac" the woman smiled faintly, her wrinkled face full of worries. "You'll be fine, he helped me with the bills" Issac replied, gesturing at Hyce. "Who's...he?" The woman asked. "A friend from school" Issac replied, and Hyce smiled with his lips. A friend? Isaac considers him a friend? That's a good start. * TERRAVERDE PALACE, 12AM* Rebekah hasn't stepped her room since nightfall. She stayed in the first royal living room, and no matter what the maids said, she didn't move. She's with her laptop, watching animes to kill time while eating popcorn lazily. The maids surrounded her with their heads bowed respectfully. There's surely no sleep for them if she doesn't. Since Axel left angrily in the morning, he didn't come back, and she's still hoping for his comeback unless he wants to stop sleeping here. She picked another popcorn, but she was interrupted by the entry of someone into the main living room. She stood and rushed there, and she felt relieved to see Axel just coming in. "Hey, thought you wouldn't be coming" she said awkwardly. He ignored her completely, settling on the couch. He turned on the TV but they're all about news and fuçking news, so he turned it off "Bored out of my damn mind" he muttered, resting back and shutting his eyes. "I'm sorry about what happened in the morning. I wasn't expecting the kiss i... Before she could land, he already stood and started climbing the stairs that led to the first balcony. "Axel! Axel!" She shouted after him, but he didn't turn till he entered and shut the door. "That mad guy, I've never apologized before cûnt! I hate you!!!" She yelled, feeling so pained as she stormed out. She grabbed her laptop, pushed the popcorn away frustratingly and left for her room.She was still smiling as she went back into the shop to pick the gift, returning home. * GRAND CASINO* Pearl knew Roonie would never allow her to go in alone, and that's true cos immediately they came down from the car, he took her hand again and led her in. "Still have no idea what the hell you're here to pick" he said. "It's a secret" she replied, and he gave her a suspicious look which made her smile. She made them enter through the main door, and immediately they did, a big rain of confetti poured on him by the door, and he had to stop as everyone screamed out. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROONIE BANKS!" His eyes remained confused as he looked around to see everyone. Rebekah and Axel, Morgan and Rook, Hyce and Isaac. Silver, Hazzan... U
★ "Fuçking fûck... You're my whole fuçking world, Noah. I do" he muttered. A big smile exploded on Pearl's face, and he buried his face in her breàsts, greedily breathing in the smell of her cherry.. She dipped her fingers in his brown hair, stroking it to the scalp. He groaned into her chest, his face resting in a more relaxed way. She was about to stroke his scalp again when he suddenly raised his head, facing her with a slight frown between his brows. "Where did you get the tattoo from? Who inked you?" "It's a woman, I promise" she replied with a knowing smile. "Tell me the name and location of the shop" he insisted. "Nah, I'm not letting you destroy her business only because she tattooed me. You don't see me asking you who tattooed
"Come with me" he took her bag and pulled her out of the office. ___________ THREE MONTHS LATER, GRAND CASINO* It's Roonie''s 26th birthday today, and Silver has everything planned out to make it his best birthday ever, though he was kept in the dark about it. Pearl will do the job of bringing him to the casino since it's where the small party is gonna be happening. Everything is ready, Uncle Edward and Kara helped her a lot, but Silver gasped when she remembered she hasn't picked his gift from the accessories shop. She was supposed to go pick it last night, but the rain ruined her chances, so now she has to rush. She left the casino in her car, and two of Master X's men followed her in another car immediately, guarding her. The shop is not very far from th
They were already kissing as he entered the room and shut the door behind them.★MCCALL'S MANSION* Hyce came down from his car with Isaac right in front of the mansion, and he took a deep breath as he stared at the building. It's been almost a year since he was disowned after he almost ruined his family, but he got an invitation to dinner yesterday, and he's more than happy to be here. He took Isaac's hand and went in with him. They met the whole family at the dinning room. General McCall, then the mother... Mrs. McCall who's also a General. The brother is on seat too, the barrister. They all got called back to their workplaces already after Romeo and Jeremy confessed to the warehouse shootout. "Good evening here" Hyce smiled. "Good day" Isaac added
Her eyes widened.★ A WEEK LATER, GRAVEYARD* Pearl decided to come alone. Morgan has already told everything she heard that day, and what hurt her the most was her finding out that her real father was Richard, she couldn't stop crying as she remembered all the pains she as been through. She's holding a black bouquet of flowers as she came out of a white car beside the road. She shut the door and walked grievously towards the grave. Tate and Adrian were buried close to each other, and they're the only ones in the site. She bought it specially in their names. If that's the only thing she gets to do in their names, then so be it. They ruined her life to this level anyways, and if Roonie hadn't appeared, she'd have probably been long dead She dropped the wreath
★ "You might wanna join them" Hyce replied, tilting his head Romeo went silent immediately. "Good" Hyce nodded, lifting his frame from the car. "Death should be your only option, but you both have to get arrested and tell the cops what you did, including the warehouse saga. That way, my family can get their places back in the law frame" He said, and almost immediately, three cops cars came to a fast stop right beside them. Immediately they saw the cops, they ordered for an ambulance too. "What happened here?" One of them asked Hyce. "ask these two?" Hyce replied, pointing at Romeo and Jeremy. He winked at them before getting in his car, zooming off. He drove directly to Isaac's place, getting a gift on his way there. Isaac was already waiting in front of the mansion, and immediate
