Drake had a smile plastered on his handsome face on his way back home. He couldn't have been more happy than how he was today. How she talked to him. How she looked at him and that smile, that weakness of his, tugged at his heart in strange ways.
He knew what his feelings were. He wasn't confused by them at all, because he knew he had fallen in love. This was his second time falling in love, but the first time that his heart felt that way. He won't make her give up on him this time. He will keep her and make her his. ======== Olivia felt ashamed of who her son had become. Her cute little boy, her little sunshine, had now become a devil, the darkness amongst the light. What happened to him?. What did she do to him for him to become this type of man?. She was glad at least he was joking around.[ Well, that's what she thought]. She sat there quietly, that she didn't even notice a bottle of water was being handed over to her. She was trying hard to reject her thoughts,but it was too difficult for her. "He was just joking around Olivia, he is not capable of doing that"; Mr. Montenegro assured her but deep down, he was not sure of what he was saying himself. "I know that Alonso. But you know the boy has changed a lot these few years. This is not how he was when I left. What have you been teaching him,Alonso?. Where did you take him ?. Who did you take him to?. "; She was losing her temper while Alonso had a shocked look on his face. Anger was starting to boil him also and he knew this conversation won't end well. "What are you saying?. Why are you putting the blame on me? Do you really think that little of me?. I might have been a bad husband, but that doesn't mean I am a bad father"; He growled as her words pierced deeper into his heart much more. Olivia sat there quietly not wanting to say another word. She knew if she said something again, it would be an insult to him. Raphael, who was watching his parents quietly for a while, decided to interfere. "Ahem, Ahem"; he cleared his throat " I hope you two are done talking about me and putting blames on each other, because I have some business to deal with. See you later"; He stroked out of the room,not even caring about what they will think about him anymore. Alonso just sighed and walked to his bedroom also, leaving Olivia behind. She just sat there watching the closed door for a while.After, she picked up her purse and walked out of the house. She had no business doing there anyway. The real and only business she had,was to look after her hospitalised daughter. She left for the hospital and arrived there in less than 30minutes. She went straight to her daughter's room and sat by her bed as she watched her sleep quietly. She looked so innocent to be hated, especially not by her own brother. The pain became too much for her to endure. She started sobbing quietly so as to not wake her daughter up."" Jessica felt some presence in her room and slowly opened her eyes only to see her mother with tears falling down her cheeks. She quickly raised her head and placed her hand on her mother's. "Mother, what's the meaning of this?. Why are you crying?.; she asked worriedly. Olivia burst into more tears as she looked at her little girls bruised face. After a while, she finally spoke "Nothing my love, I am just so happy you are alright. I don't know what I could have done if....if....something bad happened to you. The person who did this will surely pay for this. I promise you that", Smiling, Jessica figured it out that her mother might have started investigating already. "Mother, I am fine , okay. As you can see I am still alive and not dead. In fact, I am perfectly strong enough to go home now. See"; she said, throwing her arms in the air to show her strength. A smile was replaced back on Olivia's face as she watched her daughter. "Alright, if you want to leave this place, how about we leave tomorrow. You can also stay at my place if you want ", "I would love to"; Jessica smiled at her mother widely. Olivia allowed her daughter to have some rest since they will be leaving first thing tomorrow. The next morning, she went out to the doctor as they began to prepare for her to be discharged. Jessica sat there quietly waiting for someone to come. But to her disappointment, no one came apart from her mother and the nurse."" Drake bought a beautiful white rose, a chocolate box and a red teddy bear for Jessica. Why was he even buying those things for her,he didn't even know whether she liked him or not. But what he could do, the feeling's were growing stronger. He stood at the entrance of the hospital, checking Himself before making his way in. His bodyguards just stood there, surrounding him but in their heads, wondered what was wrong with his dress before he had to check. After standing there for what seemed like years, he finally started walking. He went straight to Jessica's room without even bothering himself to look at the women who were blushing at the sight of him. Some took pictures and posted it on Social media with #Lincoln in the house. They instantly got a lot of likes and a few followers within a couple of minutes. Drake walked in there only to see an empty room. A room which looked like no one was even there. "Where is she?" he was thinking as he paced back and forth in the room. His eyes fell on a piece of paper hidden beside the pillow on the bed. He took the paper and opened it only to see just a few words written.^^Have been discharged, call me^^ Jessica. He let out a sigh of relief and quickly brought out his phone to call her, not wanting to waste any time. But what he didn't Know was that someone was on his way there also.Bianca woke up with a headache in the morning. Her head was resting on Raphael's bare shoulder. She lifted her head and her eyes fell on his exposed chest and stomach before letting it fall back on his face again. Gosh, this man is so beautiful.And as though he could hear her thoughts, Raphael's eyes fluttered open. He took a second to register his surroundings and when his eyes fell on the naked Bianca, his brows creased in utter disgust. He immediately stood upright, hardly pushing the girl off his shoulders, as though she was a disease, an annihilatory plague."oh please, you're not going to treat me this way again, will you?" Bianca asked, annoyed."Get out!" Raphael did not even spare her a glance when he ordered her."Why? Wasn't last night enough taste for you" she asked him seductively, fluttering her long, fake eyelashes while tracing her fingertips on her small pink lips."I said get out!" he repeated again, growing impatient now."Why should I go? This is my house" She ret
The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones..Unknown**********************************************Irene, not able to withhold herself anymore, dubiously dragged Micheal out from the presence of her father, who in return stared at them with suspicion. 'I hope it's not what I'm thinking, he better not be..' Irene kept thinking all the way to their backyard while Micheal was smiling, enjoying the feel of her tiny hands wrapped around his huge ones. He wondered if that was the feeling just her wrist was producing, then what of her breasts.Irene stopped, pulled him hard enough to lose his balance, pinned her hands on both sides of her waist, and..."You better start explaining yourself. Why are you in that uniform? Why are you dressed like the gangsters? Why do you look so awful? In Fact you look.... Do you know what, just start explaining yourself. You have five minutes!" Irene demanded, perplexed.Micheal kept mute. He didn't know where to start, so he just
He regretted talking to her like that. He regretted not asking for her well-being all this while he had been asleep. He regretted not being able to understand that her heart might have been in pain. But it was too late now. He had already done the damage.He should have understood that she had exerted a great deal of effort just to be strong for the child and herself. The child, his child. Yes! It's his child. He could perfectly commemorate the most beautiful moment in his life which occurred a few hours ago, when he held the baby in his fragile arms.He was in panic when his hands shook the moment the baby landed. Since he was still weak, fear electrified his body and immediately his conscience told him to be careful before he did anything stupid. That was until the baby opened his tiny mouth and sighed sleepily in his arms.As he watched the baby, a sudden overprotectiveness swept over him. He suddenly made a promise to himself to protect him at all cost, whether in good or bad. Bef
She asked as she looked at him up and down, not knowing what to say because that wasn't just any outfit she noticed, but the attackers had the same attire on.The only reason keeping her mouth shut was because of the presence of her father. She knew that the moment she blurted out whatever was running through her head, he would react within a second which would cause trouble for Micheal. So she would keep to herself her thoughts and question him later, when they are assured of their safety.The three carefully run through the back door and out of the house. No sooner had they left the house than someone came in, looking for blood to shed.""Jessica entered her room with a sulky expression and divided onto her bed. Her body felt frail because of all the episodes which had unfolded themselves. 'Did it have to be like this' she said to herself 'Why does it hurt so much' , She shut her eyes tight, trying as best as she can to fall into a deep slumber but it seems sleep was miles and mi
Irene stopped dead in her tracks with her father trailing behind when she noticed that the sound of the gunshot was not just in her neighbourhood, but was close enough for the proprietor to be right at her doorstep.The rate of her heartbeat increased ten fold and panic struck her together with trepidation. Immediately without needing anyone one to tell her, she searched her eyes around the room looking for another passage way to escape from the hall in order to not fall into the hands of a cutthroat.Liam, who was a bit conscious, now pulled her with him into the closest room, which ended up being the storage room of their little abode. It had an old rusted door knob which had never been changed ever since the house was built forty years ago before he bought and moved in with his wife many years later to begin a journey of a beautiful family.The door also had a hole like the size of a tennis ball which he had plastered with the solution tape, but it seems that was useless as the tap
"One of the greatest slavery in life, is to allow your mind to control you…". The words echoed in her head, never drifting away.It hurts, it hurts a lot to have him speaking to her that way, but deep down she had the feeling she deserves it. She deserves it all as what he was saying to her now is just a penny of what she had said months before. Nothing would have hurt more to call someone a curse, saying he wreckens whatever he touches."Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get. I sweat to make my life better. To make my future generations happy and be proud of who their ancestor was whenever my name is mentioned. That luck fell on you when you conceived my child, when that seed began to grow in you"."I pushed away all those thoughts and insults that were reigned on me to be happy with you. Because I believe life is too short to stress yourself with people who don't even deserve to be an issue in your life". He paused and breathed in a bit, and tried to s
