Chapter 5 Disaster at Sea
Resh's POV
It had always been this way. My wife would be walking ahead of me every time we are in public. I presume that she may feel ashamed of me. Since our marriage two years ago, we have not even held each other's hands. We have never looked each other in the eye, not even on our wedding day. Perhaps, she is just waiting for a chance to divorce me after her fate is determined regarding the CEO position in the Vonne textile corporation.
We had just stepped into the platform when the lights went out and a loud booming sound was heard. A shower of lights flooded the dark sky. Everyone's head was turned towards the sky as myriads of colors burst all over. But my eyes were fixated on the woman before me. Her porcelain skin shone bright, as bright as her gleeful smile. Patrice looked so cute as her lips rounds up to express a silent WOW with each burst of the fireworks in the sky. Perhaps it won't be wrong to hope that one day I can hold her hand as we watch firewo

The ripples had died down so it can be presumed they have gone deep down into the water.I was suddenly gripped with fear. Why was he so stubborn not to show our gift for Lady Henda? The crowd lost interest waiting for the two of them to come back up to the surface but the crew of the yacht had prepared a rope ladder and were using spotlights to flood the area with light.“Patrice, let’s go. Your good for nothing husband might be good as dead down there.” Dad said with an I-Don’t-Care tone of voice.“Huh! He really brings shame to us! Now we don’t even have a gift to present and he steals the show by jumping into the water,” a dismayed expression on my stepmom’s face.Mister Isaac Zeller approached near t

It’s so hard to stay alive but I must live. I want to find out who ever tried to kill my father. Just this morning, I was so eager as I pack my things for our weekend trip.“Have you got everything ready dear?” Mama asked me as I went down the stairs carrying my bag. She was preparing our food baskets together with two housemaids.“Yes, Mother Earth,” I said grinning.“What about your new fishing rods?” It was Papa also carrying some luggage and passing by the kitchen to stuff his mouth with some toasted bread and e

I tried to swim to the surface and lucky enough I found a log to hold on to.Coff.Coff. I drank a mouthful of sea water. I think my lungs is full of sea water already. I tried to stay afloat.

It was pretty strange be

Patrice's POVCoff. Coff. Water sprouted out from his mouth. Finally,Resh was breathing. However, he had not open his eyes still. Then he started shivering."He's having a convulsion! Quick get me some warm blankets!" The assistant of Mister Isaac Zeller gave instruction to one of the crew who immediately left."Pete, I'm glad you are back! Please call Boss and request for a chopper. This guy needs urgent medical assistance." The assistant commanded a tall guy who earlier assisted Mister Isaac Zeller. He must be the driver who came back for the assistant."Noted, Lou!" Then he was on the phone.The crew came back with some warm blankets. Lou, that seem to be the assistant's name, took off the wet clothes and shoes from Resh leaving only his underwear and wrapped him up in the warm blanket."Fever is starting. Get me some wash cloth, please!" A member of the crew left to comply to Lou's request.Lou looked around and asked,
Here Comes the Groom : Revenge of the Son-in-Law Chapter 10 In the Stables
Patrice’s POVI gave the direction to our home to Pete. It wasn’t hard to find because we occupy one big compound in Hamstead County. Lady Henda and her children occupied the mansion. My family and I used to live there when Grandpa was alive. However, after his death, his second wife had become rude so Dad decided to live in one of the smaller houses but still inside the compound.My husband Resh lives in the stables. He had lived there for the past ten years since he was adopted by Grandpa. Even after we got married, he chose to live there. My Dad had warned him never to set foot in our home as he isn’t welcomed there nor would he allow me to live in the stables with him. So my marriage really was just written in papers. My father had told me to agree to my Grandpa’s request so that he can be written in the old man’s will. There was always an option to divorce later on.“Uhmm, I guess we are here, Madam,” Pete disrupted
Here Comes the Groom : Revenge of the Son-in-Law Chapter 11 Remembering the Real Identity
Resh's POV“Yes Sir, I couldn’t be mistaken, this guy has the lightning birthmark at his ankle and three moles in his inner thigh.”“He is asleep still, the sedative the doctor gave him had calm him down.”“OK, I will let you know soonest of any update.”I felt a bit groggy and my head weighed heavily with a throbbing pain. I could hear only one man talking so he must’ve been on the phone. I tried to move my hands but I cannot. So were my feet. I opened my eyelids and thank goodness the room was dimly lit so I felt at ease to look around.My hands and feet were tied and bound to the bed. Where was I? Was I kidnapped? The man must have heard or felt me move so he walked towards me maybe to check on me.“Young master, you are awake!”“Young master? ME? You are calling me your young master?”, I couldn’t believe my ears.“My name i
Here Comes the Groom : Revenge of the Son-in-Law Chapter 12 In a Different Light
Patrice POV"Grandpa?"I couldn't believe my eyes! The room was a bit dark but I could see the silhouette with the help of light flooding from outside the door.There leaning on the wall was a life-size portrait of my Grandpa. What is that doing there? It seemed unfinish yet as there were several brushes and paint that litter around. Is my husband trying to paint my Grandpa?I tried to look for a light switch using my phone's flashlight. When I finally found one and turned it on, bright light flooded the room.I could say Resh did a great job in renovating the stables to be his home. It was simple but neat. Some of the old furniture from the mansion were here but they look better and cared for in here. There was even a fireplace with an animal hide near it for a carpet. It felt cozy and warm. It was just one room with kitchen on one side, a foldable couch on one corner that may serve as his bed probably. Above the fireplace were some books. Forex,

Chapter 13 Awkward MomentResh’s POVI woke up sweating profusely. I found it hard to breath earlier but I guess it was all part of the dream as I was breathing normally although a bit fast now. It is that nightmare of drowning again. Although it is clear to me that my nightmares were not mere dreams but had happened in reality, it still had come to bug me. The light was dimmed but I could make out a figure in the sofa. Patrice? What was she doing in here? She wasn’t moving so I presumed she was sleep. I tried to get up to put a blanket on her forgetting that my arm had an IV line connected to it. Somehow, the noise of the commotion I made woke her up.“What are you doing?” She got up and walked towards me blinking her eyes sleepily.I felt ashamed to tell her I was going to put a blanket on her. “I was on my way to the washroom. I need to pee,” I
