The door that led to the bedroom creaked open, slowly revealing the figure of Orion who came to a stop right after he stepped into the room. He walked in stealthily, not because of guilt or any other thing, just to avoid questions that might make him annoyed, but a little mistake blew everything up. “Who's t—” she trailed off immediately she caught a glimpse of Orion who had no other choice but to stand in that same spot. At first, she thought it might have been a mistake, given that she never had it in mind that Orion was coming anytime soon, irrespective of the fact that she missed him.“Orion,” she called out the name in a gentle tone, slowly sitting up while scrubbing her eyes in a soft motion, but immediately her vision became clearer she instantly rose to her feet, closing the gap between herself and Orion in less than five seconds. “Oh my gosh!” She screamed at the top of her lungs before she threw her hand above his shoulder, embracing him in a warm hug. “Why?” Orion took
Damon stepped on the car brakes, staring forward, only to see the bunch of reporters and journalist standing at the front of the hospital, and with a frown he turned backward, staring at the empty seats in his cat. No one needed to tell him that he choose a bad day to come with bodyguards. “Shit,” he whispered under his breath, picking up his briefcase before he gradually get out of the car with another sigh. “Mr. Garrison is here!” One of the male reporters screamed at the top of his voice, diverting the attention of the remaining reporters towards Damon who stopped in his movement, giving them a stare that was loud enough to make them halt in their steps. “Don't take any step forward,” Damon announced, hardening his jaw with his eyes moving from the eyes of one journalist to that of the other. “I'm going to answer just three questions, nothing more.” The one who had called out his name came forward before anyone could even make a move. “Mr. Garrison,” the man started, clearing
“Are you sure this is what you want?” It was Elysia's grandmother, and she requested, placing a hand over that of Elysia. “I'm not against it, trust me, as you know all I want for you is the best.” Elysia pressed her lips together, staring at the old hand of her grandmother, but in that moment a smile broadened her lips, and slowly she nodded. “I know what I want,” she replied, still making sure the smile was intact. Elysia knew she'd have to answer tons of questions if that smile faded into something opposite, and without anyone telling her, she did the best she could do at that moment. Her grandmother leaned back in her chair, waving towards the nurse who approached her. “You all can go home for today,” she whispered to them, flashing a smile after they all lowered their heads. Elysia nodded towards them also, and in a short while they exited the room, and in an instant they both locked gazes, even though the whole place fell silent.No one needed to tell Elysia that there was
Orion could be seen seated on a chair, a swivel one to be precise, but a glance at it could tell you that it was different from the one that was in his office. Also, it was easy to know that it was not his office, irrespective of the fact that it screamed familiarity in a way. The sudden gasp that escaped his mouth immediately he raised his head up was enough to make Jordan stop what he was doing. “You are up,” Jordan whispered under his breath, shifting the chair to Orion's field of vision. “It's been sixteen hours, Orion.” “Not like you took some pills or something,” he added, rising to his feet. “You must be hungry.”As Jordan walked around the place Orion said nothing, his gaze just remained on a particular spot, which was the laptop that was placed on Jordan's second table. “Take this,” Jordan stretched a parfait to Orion with two doughnuts, flashing a smile towards Orion who shook his head. “I'm not in the mood for any of these things Jordan,” he gently pushed it away from
“Who are you here to see?” A female cop asked, staring at Seraphina, then the man behind her.Seraphina heaved a sigh, placing her bag on a table that was close to the cop's notebook, and she took out her purse, removing what she needed, which was her card, and immediately after that she tendered it at the front of the cop whose eyes narrowed. “Do what you want with that, but then, you should also know that you are keeping people waiting,” Seraphina said to her, the clicking sound of her tongue filling the air. The cop lowered her head for a second, sliding the card back to Seraphina who just waved at her dismissively. “Mrs. Belmont, I'm sorry,” she whispered to Seraphina who nodded, staring at the place the female cop pointed at. “When you get there, then you are going to tell them the name of the inmate you are looking for,” she explained, clearing her throat, but just as she was about to go, the cop rose to her feet, with the aim of attracting Seraphina and the man to herself.
“I never knew you could be this self-centered, Orion,” that was the first thing she said immediately they both got out of the meeting room, and with a hand folded defensively above her chest she turned back, shaking her head in disappointment.“It's a big slap to the face, just so you know” she added, making sure each of her words sank into his head. Orion, who was still finding it hard to process what was unfolding before his eyes, ran a hand over his face, coming to a stop just as his hands got to his waist. “Self-centered,” he swallowed hard, blinking faster than any normal human would, then with a sad look in his eyes he let out another sigh, rolling his sleeves up to his forearm. He stared at the finger once again, making sure she heard the scoff that made way past his lips. “Are you kidding me right now?” He demanded, stretching his hands towards hers, only for her to take it backwards, staring into his sharp blue eyes that slowly became dull. “Orion, I,” she paused, and so
