Nine months soon passed away and she didn't even realize it although she counted every day. One can never hold the rope of time as she felt the labour pain while being in her office. She asked her colleague to drop her to hospital while she called Aunt Lucy on the phone, asking her to bring the baby bag as she was already on her way to hospital. She was taken to labour room and all she felt was anxiety creeping inside her veins. She was nervous, she didn't know what was going to happen but the pain was worst. She wanted to get over with it as soon as possible, and luckily her gynaecologist was a really good doctor who took in account of her condition and didn't made her wait much. It took her at least two hours to deliver the baby as it was her first time, it turned out to be the most difficult thing for her. Screams of excruciating pain left her mouth and she had no one by her side on whom she could hold onto. Even the nurses blabbered about her being alone. Every women had their
It was around evening when Sam joined Veronica for tea as she worked day and night on her new project. "Don't you think you come very often at Aunt Lucy's now?" Veronica asked out of the blue while sipping on her chamomile tea which Aunt Lucy especially ordered her to intake every day for her healthy body and baby. "You noticed that?" He asked with a nervous expression. "Of course ""Then what did you conclude? What's the reason of my unusual visits?" He asked her back. "That's what I'm asking you Sam! I hope it's something reasonable because you have a job and I can't see you ruining your career " she replied to him as she took the baby in her hands which started to cry in the baby cot. "I like Suzy! And I want to marry her" he announced in a firm voice.Her expressions didn't change even for a millisecond as if she already hinted it before but just wanted him to confirm himself. "That's great" she commented. "Are you not surprised?" He asked in astonishment because it was cer
"to whom you're talking babe at this hour?" A voice ranged in her back as she clutched the phone tightly but didn't turn. She was crying continuously, so she wiped her tears and then cut the call while Reynold was still waiting for her response on the other side.Then she turned around to look at him, who stood just a foot away from her.She still didn't said a word and choose to walk away past him but he grabbed her hand midway."What's wrong?" He asked again, this time his tone lined with worry."Don't touch me!" She screamed and retreated her hand back harshly as she exited the room to grab her belongings and leave right away. He followed her behind, trying to catch up with her but she was step ahead as she hurriedly started to put on her clothes and then grabbed her purse which was in his room before she undressed and came to his study in nightie."Ashley! Will you listen to me? What's wrong? Why are you acting this way?" He couldn't help but grab her shoulders again and then shoo
It was around evening when but he was still in his office. He called Jason in and told him to schedule his session with a professional therapist. He admitted that he needed one after last night he had to take pills for a good sleep. He had been dealing with insomnia for a very long time but it takes a lot of courage to admit that one has a problem. "Sir I am not sure but I think we have a hint where she could be" Jason stepped in his office suddenly and exclaimed. "What?" He raised his head out shock. "There's a possibility that she could be in England because after a very thorough research we've learned that her brother has been living in Edinburgh for a very long time" He spoke, placing the documents in front of him on his desk. He pointed to the red circle where they located him. "I see" Carter was surprised because it was more than a year after she disappeared and he was very much interested in finding her. But he had this curiosity that how she would be doing all alone and h
It was this time that he asked Jason to bought him tickets to England. But he wanted to land in London first as there was some work which needed to be done first. There was this Spanish mafia who wanted to meet him since a long time but he had no time to spare. Nowadays they were in London so it was better to meet them there. He wasn't sure but he had hope that he would find her soon. Although finding her in England was almost impossible as it was a big country. Ashley came to have lunch with him today after he was done with his session with therapist. His therapist turned out to be very caring and professional and understood his problems really well. He felt relieved after pouring out his emotions in front of her. She was a nice, old woman. "How have you been?" Ashley asked him as they settled down on a table to have their lunch in a nice restaurant. "I'm pretty well" he replied, earnestly. "Any news about Veronica?" She didn't know why she asked him but she was curious where th
The little child touched his silver watch and he couldn't remove his eyes away from him. Jason tried move away the kid but Carter stopped him. "Who can be so careless to leave such a small kid alone?" Jason commented as Carter touched the kids cheek and he looked up at him with those doe eyes. He didn't know why he felt so attached to that small kid, he had features somewhat similar to him and he didn't know what was this nonchalant resemblance. "Alex!" A woman could be seen from afar running in their direction as her eyes were were only fixed on the kid as she didn't even look up who was around the kid. "Veronica!" Carter gasped and even Jason was in state of bewilderment. As she approached them, she stood midway because her eyes had already recognised Carter and she went white as a sheet. Carter picked up the kid in his arms and walked to Veronica who stood there, frozen unable to move from her place. She couldn't run now because her son was in his hands and she wanted him. "
She packed her bags hurriedly as there was not much to take with herself. All the stuff belonged to Alex was heavy to take so she only packed his clothes and left the rest as Carter told her that they will pick it up later. Jason helped to put the bags inside the car as they all left again for the hotel. Aunt Lucy was very emotional as she didn't want to let go Veronica so soon. She even asked her to let Carter stay too, as long as they want but of course it was not possible as Carter was not comfortable with living anyone. They checked in the hotel and Alex was so tired that he immediately fell asleep. She placed him inside her small baby cot and he was deep asleep. "Why were you on airport at this hour?" Carter asked her as he took off his shoes. "I just came back from Paris, I was there on business trip" she told him as she unpacked the bag and started taking out her clothes to take a shower. "I was going to follow you in Edinburgh but I didn't know i would find you here in Lo
The very next morning she wrote a resign application to her manager and waited for it to be approved. Her manager was very disappointed and she complained about her sudden resignation. But she told her that it was urgent to go to Italy and she had never worked as on a permanent position there. She was temporary so her manager couldn't even say much. Carter on the other side was really happy with all the puzzles fixing back into their place and the next day they planned to visit the famous spots in England. In London they had so much to visit and see. They took Alex with themselves as they went to shopping first where Carter bought her all the expensive things which she only used to dream of first. They were passing through the different shops when her eyes landed on a red, off shoulder dress which reached mid-thighs. It was a simple, plain dark red colour which looked so fine with the floral outspread. Her eyes gleamed as she admired that dress, Carter immediately noticed that and
