Thank you for reading!
Nicole.Rowan has been doing great for the past few days. He was getting better quickly, and if this continues, we will leave the hospital in no time.It has been three days since the cops caught Alfred with Kirk’s help, and for those three days that he was roaming around freely, I haven’t been able to stay in one place.I couldn’t stop worrying about what he would do since he’s still out there, but the good news came afterwards, and I have never been more relieved than I was after Rowan's words.Speaking of Rowan, I couldn’t help but shake my head when I remembered the little drama he created this morning before I left the hospital.We were all inside the room when he suddenly wanted to know what happened to the clothes he was putting on when he was brought to the hospital. He wouldn’t rest until he had gotten his answer. Thankfully, a nurse came out and told him he kept what he was looking for safely—he wouldn’t tell me what it was, no matter how many times I asked and so I just had
Jackson.I ground my teeth together so hard to stop myself from wincing from the pain.My head hurt from the impact of the gun hitting me and from the look on his face, I knew more was coming. But I have to bear it; if I want to protect Zoe, my daughter then taking a hit or two shouldn’t matter.Alfred doesn’t know where Zoe is because if he had known where I kept her for her safety, he wouldn’t have followed me around. I learned from my sources that he has gotten what he wanted from Nicole—the company.The only reason he was here in front of me was because he wanted Zoe back and he wanted to shove it in my face that he had gotten what he’d wanted for years now.“Where is she? Where is my daughter?” He yelled in my face but whatever he was saying wasn’t my concern.The only thing I was concentrating on was the slight movement behind him, I hoped that whoever was there would be the one to lock his ass up.My gaze went back to his.“It seems like you aren’t getting what I’m trying to sa
Jackson.Everything happened too quickly for me to grasp what was going on. I thought I had everything under control and was doing the right thing by not confronting the bastard, but I guess I was wrong. I should have done something as soon as I found out he was back. I should have tracked him down or, even better, asked for a meeting to resolve this issue—though there really wasn't an issue to address back then.If I had done that, Nicole wouldn’t be in the hospital. I can’t help but feel that it's partially my fault. If only I had acted sooner, she wouldn’t be in this position.I've been trying to reach Nicole since I got the news two days ago, but I haven't been able to. The security around the hospital was extremely tight, and her family wouldn’t let me in. It wasn’t until I finally got to the hospital that I realized she wasn’t the only one there; Rowan was also with her, though I don't know the reason.I have been pissed since I got up; these couple of days after coming around t
Nicole. I stared at Rowan, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. If it weren’t for the monitor beeping beside him, I might have thought he was just asleep. It had been an hour since I was brought to his room, and I was relieved that no one had come to ask me to leave since my mom knocked on the door thirty minutes ago. I couldn’t look away from him. I kept picturing how he had flawlessly stepped in front of me to protect me without a second thought. While I appreciated his bravery, I couldn’t wait for him to recover so I could scold him for putting himself in danger. My head felt heavy on my neck, and my eyes were drooping with sleep. I knew I couldn’t sit up for another minute; it felt like my whole system would crash if I did. I needed to rest my eyes, but I stubbornly refused because I wanted to be the first person he saw when he woke up. I had no choice but to call a nurse and politely ask her to set up another bed in Rowan’s room. With the help of Chloe and Theodore
Nicole.I was standing in a dark room with someone standing behind me, holding me so tightly that I couldn’t move and when I tried to get out of his hold it was impossible. I could feel myself saying something, but I could not hear what I was saying.The next thing I know is seeing a shadow appear in front of me holding a metal object in its hand.The shadowy figure walked forward and only then did I see her properly, it was a face I knew too well but what I couldn’t understand was why she was here. The metal object was pointed at me and I became frozen, my breath got knocked out of my lungs when I recognized what she was pointing at me. The female smiled, and her lips started moving, but I couldn’t hear what she was saying.Without blinking an eye she pulled at the metal object in her hand, and I waited for the bullet to hit me but none of that came. Instead, another body appeared in front of me—this time I felt something other than feeling numb when those familiar green-blue eyes st
Nicole.Everything happened so slowly that I couldn’t comprehend what was going on. I stood frozen in my spot, waiting for the pain to come. I waited and waited, but nothing happened, the pain from the gunshot wound I was expecting never came.I blinked slowly and looked around the room to know what was happening, Rowan wasn’t where he was standing, and neither was Fiona or this Alfred guy, and the whole room was filled with people.These people were different from the ones I met while I was brought inside but I couldn’t tell if they belonged to Fiona and the strange guy or if they were here to rescue us.I could see mouths moving but I couldn’t tell what they were saying, my whole focus was on searching for Rowan. I know he must be here somewhere but I just haven’t seen him.Someone familiar came into my focus, he was saying something, and like before I didn’t understand or hear what he was saying.I need to find Rowan.Fiona tried shooting me, I need to tell him that I’m okay and wa
