Brandon

“This had better be good, son,” my father said in a gruff voice as he disembarked from the plane. My mother followed but unlike my father who looked displeased at my presence, her face was filled with smiles and the second she saw me, she pulled me into a hug and asked, “Are you okay?”

I hugged her until she let go of me.

“You seemed really troubled over the phone, son,” she said, her voice dipped with worry. I was glad it was my mother whom I was asking this favour from and not my fa

    Brandon“Are you sure?” she asked me, her voice filled with concern. “Yes,” came my response.“Tell Richard we are very sorry but we cannot be there tomorrow,” my mother said, “even if I’m not having surgery tomorrow, I would love to be with my granddaughter.” I nodded. “I understand.” She hugged me and I left the hospital as soon as she let me out of her embrace. It was full speed ahead to my office. I had to be sure that Terri was safe and in the office, as her call had suggested.My first stop was her office and when I did not see her inside, I began to panic until she appeared behind me. “Brandon?” she sounded surprised. I looked at her and was relieved to see that she had no bruises whatsoever on her skin. I sighed in relief and told her to get Madison so we could have a meeting with them in my office immediately. When I got to my floor, Rose was visibly surprised to see me. “Brandon?” “Rose,” I called her name with a smile. “Are you okay? You look like shit!” She did no

    Brandon“What?” I asked. That was an insane request and a very odd ransom. However, I had a feeling when the person had kidnapped my head of AI that he was trying to steal my technology. “I don’t think…” I began to say, then I heard a gun go off over the phone. The gunshot was followed by the sound of the disturbingly deep voice. “Brandon? You hear that, right?” “I cannot give you Leona-S. That’s insane…” Another gunshot rang through the phone, reaching my ears. “If you kill Terri, you get nothing!” I yelled. “If you do not give me what I seek then I’ll have no option but to kill Terri. Is that what you call her?” “What do you want to know about Leona-S?” I asked the person on the other end while grinding my teeth in anger. “You planted a fake document on your table,” the voice sounded pissed, “I want you to dictate the right thing to me.” “This is corporate espionage,” I hissed. “And I do not mind committing murder either,” came the sharp response. I stood in the middle of

    BrandonMy phone rang suddenly, disrupting the room's tranquility as Salma shared memories of our daughter with everyone. “Excuse me,” I said, stepping out of the room. I answered the call on the last ring, wondering if this had something to do with work. There was no name so I had no idea who was calling me. “Brandon,” the voice of my soon to be father in law filled the phone. I put the phone away from my ear and looked at the ID of the caller again. He had not used his own number to call me. “Why are you calling me with another number?” I asked more out of suspicion than care. “Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you blocked my number?” he reminded me, making me run my fingers through my hair. I had completely forgotten about that. “What do you want? Do you not have a honeymoon?” I asked him. “About that…” I heard him suck air through his teeth, “My wife gave me a divorce. Turns out bringing my mistress to our honeymoon was a deal breaker.” So he and Mirabelle had

    Salma I felt helpless now as I sat on Leona's bed waiting for news of my baby. The door to the room creaked open and I perked up, hoping it was Dr. Han coming to tell me that I could go see my baby now. But it was Teagan McClean who walked into the room. She looked sombre as did my grandmother, Rita, who followed her into the room. “Hi, Mom,” Brandon greeted his mother, “are you okay?” “Of course, love,” came her response as she found a chair to sit down. We all sat in silence for a while until Teagan looked up at me and asked, “Do you have pictures of Leona? I'd like to see them, if you don't mind.” I hesitated just a bit before pulling out my phone from my pocket. I was crowded immediately as I opened an album dedicated especially to Leona. “This is… is when she was just born,” I said, starting from the very first picture taken of her. She has no form at all at this point,and I knew that only I her mother could think she was beautiful. “Just like Brandon,” Teagan whispered.I

    SalmaA nurse approached us cautiously. I could tell she wanted to do something that she did not enjoy doing very much. “I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave,” the nurse told us nervously, “if Dr. Hans has any updates, he will find you.” “Okay,” I said quietly, “please let us know… know when it's time to see her.” We all walked quietly to Leona's room. It was a private room specially paid for by Brandon so no one was going to send us out. Josephine and I sat on Leona's bed while James and Brandon took the chairs. The atmosphere in the room was sombre at most, a complete contrast to the day of my labour. I fell back in time, recalling details from the day Leona had joined me in this world. Ten minutes after Dr. Klein passed, another contraction hit me. It was not painful like the first one or perhaps it was and I had come to expect it. The pain faded away slowly and I concentrated on my breathing. In and out with slow steady breaths. Josephine sat beside me and held my hand. I s

    SalmaLong after Dr. Hans had left us, we continued to stand in front of the ICU watching Leona through the glass wall. Life seemed so unfair. I had always thought that giving birth to Leona while trying to figure out work had to be the hardest thing I had ever done, but this was way harder. Watching life drain slowly out of the life of your child was the cruelest thing life could do to anyone. I remembered the day I had given birth to Leona. I had worked until the very second my water had broken. I could not afford the luxury of a break because I had bills to pay and my salary as an intern was barely enough to sustain me at all while preparing to welcome a baby. “Yesterday was your due date,” Salma, “Josephine had whispered into my ear as we made rounds that morning with our senior resident, Dr. Mohan. “I need to be here,” I said stubbornly, “I do not have paid leave days.” I was tending towards the end of my days as a first-year resident and I had managed to do well in spite of

    Brandon The therapist’s office was just like I had imagined—designed to make one feel comfortable but I could see through the façade. The interior did not bring me ease but distress. A middle-aged woman stood up to greet us when we walked in. She motioned for us to sit on the sofa opposite her. “

    Salma “He stopped me from leaving Texas!” I shouted into the phone, letting out my anger and frustration towards Brandon. Who the hell was he to just show up in my life? Who the hell was he to disrupt my life at will? He had not cared then; so what was his deal now? “Salma, I know you're very ang

    BrandonI was drawn to her like a magnet. I could not stop looking at her and although we were in the middle of a clearly tense argument. I wanted to kiss her, be on top of her, and inside her. I wanted to suck on her full peach lips and plant kisses down her throat. “Oh, my goodness! Brandon McCl
