“Mr Rivera” I felt a wave over my face.

“Yeah, yeah” I blinked back to reality.

The doctor gave me a sympathetic smile. “Your mother is stable and she will be fine. I can assure you. Her vitals are responding to treatment but she will need to stay in intensive care for a few days for observation. It's standard procedure to inform you about this”

I nodded feeling relief and at the same time pain. My mother didn't deserve to go through all these.

“So she's… she’s going to be okay?”

“She should be, but she needs rest and she needs to stay away from situations that trigger anxiety. The damage isn't physical.”

I nodded and swallowed tightly, “Can I see her?”

“Not yet, but very soon. She was sedated, we will let you know when you can”

“Thank you.. Thank you so much”

I paced around the waiting area, confused and at the same time relieved but the phone call I received earlier was still playing in my head.

  • His office my rules    Chapter 49

    ELII stared at Carter like he was a sexy god. I mean, he looks like one. But it was evident that this was the best sexual activity I had ever had. And it just took me being bold. Crazy how the rush of adrenaline while being turned on can make me do things I wasn't sure I was bold enough to do.We were now both fully naked on his bed, all my scars now visible in plain sight. He motioned for me to move closer and I did. Before I could gather my thoughts I was under him and he was hovering above me.He started kissing my neck and moved downwards. From my collarbone to my chest. He pushed when he got to my left nipple, moving his tongue and nibbling over it. It sent a surge of fireworks through my veins as I arched my back off the bed and moaned Carter’s name.My action seemed to excite him, because he moved to the right nipple and nibbled it even harder with his fingers still on my left nipple.Slowly he began to move his lips away from my nipple and cold air pickled the wet spot he had

    CARTERI don't think I should start lying that I do these things when I'm not in my right senses because I was in the right state of mind when I pulled Eli into my house and kissed him on the spot.When my forehead was placed on his, and I told him I missed him, it seemed like I had turned on a switch.He immediately pulled me back into a longer kiss, this time taking control. I was loving it.“Do you want to take a shower?” I asked breathily and I hadn't had one since the previous day.He hesitated, “I just had..” He stopped, then nodded, and I pulled his hand behind me all the way to my bathroom.Getting into my master's bedroom, I watched him gaze around my large suite. The last time he was here, it was dark so he probably hadn't seen the real beauty of it.“Do you want to sit and wait or join me?” I asked. I wanted to make him feel comfortable and not pressure him into doing anything he didn't want to.“I’ll wait here” he said and I was a little disappointed.I walked into the bat

    ELIThe sky was grey and it was the kind that looked bruised. I walked down the gravel path of the Cemetery with my hands buried deep in my pockets and my jaw clenched tightly.I hadn’t been here since his funeral. Back then I didn’t cry, nor did I speak. Everyone thought it was my way of grieving, little did they know that I felt no sense of emotion at the death of this man. I just stood beside my mother, holding her hand but I was furious that the world expected us to mourn a man who had destroyed everything good in our home.Now almost a decade later and nothing felt different.I found his grave next to an oak tree. It was a simple headstone, nothing extra like the other ones I had seen on my way here. No flowers. No sign that someone had visited here in days.That was good. He didn’t deserve any.I stopped a few feet away. My throat felt raw and my stomach twisted. I couldn’t make myself move any closer.“I don’t know why I’m here” I said quietly. “I don’t forgive you. I don’t eve

    CARTERGetting to the estate, it was too quiet. I understand that everyone was in a sober mood but I could hardly hear anything aside from the subtle whispers and the sound of servants and caterers moving around. It was the one night the Vale family hadn’t gathered to show off or to network, but who knows every event is an opportunity for the Vales to network.I adjusted the cuffs of my suit as I walked down the long corridor toward the main hall. At the entrance of the main hall was a large portrait of Catilyn. I stood there, gazing at the last phone that my sister had taken. A part of me felt unwelcome at her memorial, like she didn’t want me there because she knew that it was my fault.“Carter” I was joined by the rest of my family. They were all dressed in similar black suits, just like mine, and my mum was wearing a tailored black dress that fit her perfectly. She wore a black hat and huge shades that covered her eyes entirely. It was a clear indication that she had been crying.

    ELIThe beeping of the monitors was a rhythm I hated so much. It just reminded me of the fact that my mother was unwell. Alive but fragile.I sat on the sofa in her hospital room, flipping through a science-fiction magazine. It had been my routine for a few days now, ever since I had that distress call. I dropped the magazine and placed my elbows on my knees, lacing my fingers together tightly and inhaling the hospital's strong scent. The Maybel health centre has always smelled like antiseptic and old grief, even before today.I stared at my mother who was sleeping peacefully before me and was now starting to stir awake.“Mum” I whispered, brushing a loose strand from her forehead. Her skin felt warm, but her eyes stayed closed.“Eli” she murmured, fluttering her eyes open, “You came again? Today?”I straightened “Yeah. I’m here. I just want to make sure you’re doing okay. Plus, I’m free today”It took her a moment to focus on me, her dark eyes searching my face like she was making su
