After everything that had happened, Bradford called Frederick into the office.

"Frederick, the way you handled the company along with grandfather, I am very impressed. You took this on as a way of showing us that you are ready for the next stage."

Happy that he had been able to assist, he responded, "I am glad you have approved."

Bradford gave it some thought, "next time I go on business to Tenerife, I want you and Tamara to accommodate us. You will only need to stay for two or three days, meet with the investors, show us what you have, and then we will get things moving."

Encouraged by this turn of events, Frederick shook Bradford's hand and said, "it's now time for me to get back. We have exams soon, and I need to submit assignments."

Understanding this, Bradford said, "If you need any assistance with anything, just call."

    "If you think you are going to get away with this and make me suffer, you are clearly mistaken!" Meghan screamed as she was being dragged and pulled into the car. The streets were destitute, not a person in sight. "Shut the skank up!" the female voice shouted. They had managed to blindfold Meghan after pulling her around the other corner which was opposite the park. "Wait, that female voice, it sounds familiar!" Meghan thought as she struggled to break free. Her headaches were coming back again."Shut up!" the male voice said. "Wait, isn't that Kevin's voice?" She questioned in her mind. Her head was reeling from all the pushing and pulling they were doing. "Kevin, if you think my parents, my brothers, my cousins and my aunt as well as Lloyd and his family won't come looking for me, you're gravely mistaken. They will hunt you down like a roaring lion waiting to devour their prey!" She mustered up enough courage to bite back at him with her icy cold voice and deathly soft tone

    A year had passed since the accident, Grandpa passing away and Meghan and Lloyd getting engaged."I think we need to set a date for the wedding, my love," Lloyd said as they were finishing off their evening meal, "because I seriously don't think I can wait any longer," he chuckled. "Oh my goodness," she laughed back, while understanding that he had been very patient and accommodating. "How about we set the date for the end of next month? A triple whammy? Our wedding and our graduations all in one," she suggested. "I like that idea," Lloyd concurred. "We'll go to Alderley Edge and Macc on Friday afternoon and spend a night at my parent's place and a night at your parent's place," she suggested again. And so the discussion of the wedding plans started.On Wednesday afternoon, Meghan had finished classes early and decided to wait at the coffee shop across the road for Lloyd.

    "What?" Marshall asked his wife, "Did we just hear Lloyd propose to Meghan, and she accepted?""I'm just as shocked as you!" Danielle laughed at the sight of her brother proposing to her sister-in-law and best friend. A happy and sad occasion as mixed thoughts spread through the guests. Two couples, not surprised. They were Bradford and Camilla, as well as Erica and Peter."Congratulations you two," Bradford and Camilla said as they walked up to and hugged Meghan while shaking Lloyd's hand. "Thanks mom, thanks dad," Meghan said, grinning like a Cheshire cat who just had her fill of milk.Marshall then walked up to them with Danielle. "Wow, my best friend, jeez squirt," he poked fun at her and laughing. "Bro, man, this is awesome. Congratulations you guys," he said, giving Lloyd a manly embrace. "Jeez, now if only you could have said that so nicely to me," Meghan jested back. The banter between the siblings went on for a short while longer. "Seriously, we're super happy for you

    "Dearly beloved," the minister began, "we are gathered here today, to commemorate the sanctity of life. The life of one such, Franklin Joseph Hemingway. He was a father, son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend." He paused briefly. "He was grandfather and father to Bradford Hemmingway and his granddaughter-in-law Camilla Hemmingway. Great-grandfather to Marshall and his wife Danielle Hemmingway, Meghan and Morgan Hemmingway and great-great-grandfather to Emilla Hemmingway. But instead of me telling you about this man, let's hear from the family." Camilla and Bradford stood up in unison, approached the pulpit and Bradford began to speak, Camilla standing next to him clutching his hand as a source of comfort for him. "Grandpa as he was known to us, was the cornerstone of our family. He loved life and led it to the fullest. There are many things I could say about this man, but one thing I need to say is that he was our rock. Grandpa was there for me through many trials. He and grandma h

    Three months after Meghan was discharged from hospital, she went back to university. Facing the trauma of what had occurred earlier that year, Lloyd stood by her side. "Megs, you don't need to do this right now, you know. Take your time and ease back into it," he said tenderly. "I need to do this," she said. They walked on to campus and all who knew her stopped. For a moment in time, the air was heavy with confusion and mixed feelings. Here was a young woman who had been severely hurt and almost raped by one of their own. But he was oh so popular at school."Come baby girl, don't let any of those stares worry you. You did nothing wrong, you kept your integrity, and you can hold your head high," Lloyd encouraged her as they walked from the gate on to the quads where all the students gathered before the start of their day. Taking her by the hand, he showed her that he was there for her every step of the way. A reassuring feeling. Clasping her hand in his, they walked through th

    Having just pulled through a comatosed state, still weak and tired. Meghan wanted to know more about what happened. Lloyd sat by her side. They were on spring break. All the time he had, he devoted to being with her. "Megs, Kevin is in jail. He will eventually get out. When the time is right, we will take the appropriate steps," he reassured her. "How long do I need to be here?" she asked. "Until the doctors say you can go home," a voice in the background said.Turning to the voice at the entrance of the door were the Carltons. They had been away on vacation and had only just arrived back when they saw the message from their son."Mom, dad, you're back from your vacation!" he exclaimed, never happier to see his parents. "Yes my son," Erica said as they approached the bed. Bending over, Erica gave Meghan a kiss on the forehead. "How are you doing honey?" she asked, her voice laced with empathy and concern."I'm slowly getting there, Mrs Carlton. Thank you both for coming," she re

    Time was passing by. Meghan was still in a coma. Lloyd sat every afternoon and evening alongside her bed. Patiently waiting for her to come out of the coma. Camilla and Bradford were there during the day.Morgan was doing online schooling. It was easier for him to listen to videos of his subjects than sit in a classroom environment.Bradford arranged with Frederick to keep the business going with Tamara as his wingman. In the month of April, the doctors approached the family. "Mr and Mrs Hemmingway, we need to think about pulling the life support plug. We don't know how much brain damage she will incur. Even if she comes around she could be in a vegetative state," the doctor explained. Hearing those words, Camilla fell apart and collapsed."No!" Bradford stated, "Money is not an issue. We will keep her on."Lifting his wife up into his arms, he sat there cradling her. "Don't worry babe, we will fight for her."Lloyd walked in from his day at the university. "Dad?" he questioned, see

    Trying to rape someone is NOT acceptable. Rape is a sexual force against a person's will. NO ONE asks for it and NO ONE should ever be subjected to it.As the ambulance rushed to the hospital, Lloyd sat by Meghan's side. "I will never leave you again," he uttered gently while stroking her hair, now soaked in blood."If anything happens to you, I will kill that son of a..." his anger raging, as he thought about what Kevin had tried to do to her. His blood pressure rose.They got to the hospital and Meghan was wheeled down the corridor, Lloyd at the heels of the doctors. As they were about to wheel her into surgery, Lloyd was stopped.
