while driving he asked, "do you want us to go out for dinner later in the evening?". hmm, Camilla thought for a few seconds before replying "dinner is ok with me" she responded with a smile. "ok then I will come to pick you up at exactly half-past six" Camilla nodded and was in a good mood.
Back home, Mrs. Shaw was in the living room watching her favorite opera on TV, with a glass of wine on the side table. While she was enjoying herself, Mr. Shaw came in, walked to the couch, and sat beside her. "why is it that you haven't asked for any money from me concerning Camilla's upkeep and tuition fee?" Mr. Shaw asked. Mrs. Shaw smirked "you didn't want her to continue with school saying that it was a waste of money because she failed her first two semesters am I right?".Mr. Shaw turned his head away and looked elsewhere "don't worry about my daughter, she settled all her bills with her efforts. since she has a father who doesn't care" Mrs. Shaw said mockingly."can't you see that she's not going to school to learn but just to show face! that's why she couldn't even pass her first two semesters, what makes you think she will pull through this year? if school is what she wants, she must learn because she wants to, not because she's scared of being the laughing stock of others or because she doesn't want to feel left out, she must have a dream to achieve her goal with the course she's pursuing but your daughter doesn't have any dream" Mr. Shaw stressed out his point hoping his wife would understand. Mrs. Shaw sneered "you see how you belittle your daughter? you don't want to support her yet you want to see the best results from her, what is wrong with you? we both can see that she's trying, she really is trying".Mrs. Shaw said in her daughter's defense."What is she trying with? tell me? you encouraged your brother to marry off his daughter to a rich suitor saying she wouldn't do well in school but where is fortune now, tell me? she passed with flying colors and cleared her first two semesters at ease and is now in her second year and your daughter?"shut up! Mrs. Shaw yelled she couldn't bare to hear anything more "everything is about that Fortune, must you always want to compare Fortune with our daughter? Fortune this, Fortune that, Fortune, Fortune, Fortune, just stop it! before she could say anything else, her phone rang interrupting her next words. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was her daughter, speaking of the devil, she swiped and answered her phone. " Mom, how are you?" Camilla spoke cheerfully "Mom is fine dear, how are things for you that side? do you have enough food? I mean how are you managing?" Mrs. Shaw asked in a concerned voice. "Mom, do I still look like a young girl to you? do you know that I spent almost three thousand dollars on my shopping today?" Mrs. Shaw was stunned, she stood up and quickly walked to her room leaving her husband seated on the couch, she had to hear the details of where her daughter got all this money from. "Mom, hello, are you still there?" Mrs. Shaw just closed her bedroom door and answered "tell me where did you get all that money from? do you know that your father is worried about you because he refused to give you any money for school? now his wondering how you are managing because he was hoping you wouldn't manage and end up coming back home".Camilla smirked, "oh please, so now he's worried? let him take his worries elsewhere, what a father, I don't need him". "he's your father, after all, now tell me where you got such large amount of money from" Mrs. Shaw was curious. Camilla who was busy removing her new clothes from the bags smiled "well Mom, let's just say I will have a rich boyfriend soon. I mean I'm not yet his girlfriend and he spoilt me like this, wow I hope he asks me to be his girlfriend soon" Camilla was not shy talking about this with her Mom, she was going to be 22 soon so it wasn't a big deal. Mrs. Shaw's eyes lit up she couldn't believe it "you are not yet his girlfriend and he spent so much on you?" Camilla smiled "yes Mom, for now, you don't have to worry much about my upkeep but you have to clear my fees for the next semester. once everything between me and him is perfect, I don't think you will have to pay for my tuition fees anymore""that's great news, I knew my daughter was so capable, I'm so proud of you my darling. enjoy yourself to the fullest and don't let anyone steal him from you" Mrs. Shaw said happily. "thank you, Mom, I have to select an outfit for my dinner tonight, I will hung up now, bye, love you lots Mom". The call hung up. This room was not soundproof so as long as anyone stood outside the door, they would hear everything being said from the inside and Mrs. Shaw was so excited that she forgot to lower her voice when talking. Mr. Shaw stood at the door and heard the dialogue between mother and daughter. At first, when he heard his wife talking to his daughter on the phone he didn't want to talk to her but after thinking about it, he walked in the direction of his room so that he could talk to his daughter through his wife's phone, before he could turn the doorknob, what he heard made him pause and he ended up eavesdropping, listening to everything. Mr. Shaw heard everything because he came here not long after his wife went in.The call got disconnected and fortune was all over Zack. "Come on Zack did you have to say that, do you want to make my relationship with my dad awkward? Come on don't be so mea "At this moment, the back door of the car was suddenly opened, Zack and fortune simultaneously looked at who opened the door and saw Asia carefully sitting inside the car."Fortune, you have already tied your life to this big bully, you need to get used to it" Asia said in a mocking tone. Fortune and Asia enjoyed the ride while Zack drove to a restaurant not far from the main villa where they lived. The three had their lunch and went back.Ashley sat in his room, he was in such deep thought that he didn't hear the door being opened. "Ashley, do you have a few minutes to spare?" Asia asked politely. Ashley didn't respond or look at her, Asia raised her brow and looked at Ashley, she noticed he was in deep thought."Ashley,
Asia sat in her room in deep thought. She sighed heavily then stood up and grabbed her bag then walked out. She asked one of the driver's outside to prepare the car and sat in the back seat of the car. "Ma'am, where am I taking you?" The driver asked respectfully."Hunter's view cemetery " Asia responded lazily. The driver nodded then drove out... ashley stood near the window and looked at the car that drove out, he sighed helplessly and questioned if he was doing the right thing. He knew that Asia would probably never love him cause she had always loved Chris. What will be left of md if she doesn't fall for me? I probably will never have a child in my life cause she will never allow me touch her, but what kind of a life will that be? Am I subjecting my life to some sort of self imprisonment because of love? Ashley shook his head...no, why am I thinking this way? I can't turn back on my decision, I must
Zack just nodded, he had no other words to say, No answers to give as to why all this happened. Mr Jacobs turned and walked out leaving zack in the ward. A few hours slowly went by , zack was still in the ward, he tried to sleep a couple of times but couldn't. "Chris, don't go, you can't leave me, please come back. If..if you leave, what's there for me to live for? OK fine...fine, if you want to leave, I will come with you. I...I will come with you, wait for me, Chris! I said wait for me, don't leave me please. I need you, don't go" Asia said in her sleep as tears flowed down her face. Zack was taken aback by this, it was obvious this dream felt real for her. He walked up to Asia's bed side and patted her on the cheek. "Asia, wake up, it's just a dream, wake up! Come on wake up""No, Chris come back, come back to me""Asia wake up! Zack said in a loud voice.Asia opened her eyes, she sat u
Asia felt like her world was coming to an end, everything around her began to spin uncontrollably until everything suddenly became dark. Asia passed out at this moment, "doctor, hey nurse. Take her to the ward, let her rest. Give her something that will help her rest" zack instructed the nurses around then sat on a corner in deep thought. At this moment, he didn't even what he was thinking of. Fortune wiped her tears then walked up to zack's side. She sat beside him and threw herself in his arms , a hug is all she could do right now to comfort him. Fortune thought about Asia's state and shivered upon thinking of the scene earlier. Exactly how will Asia manage without Chris in her life. Half of her life has been about him, she has loved him for so many years and now, he is gone. Zack held fortune in his arms as he blankly stared at the wall in the opposite direction. Chris father was comforting his wife, he looked at
At this moment there was a loud roar of thunder and it soon began to rain...with the wind and lightening, Zack felt even worse by the sudden storm. He felt like the whole world was closing in on him. He had never felt this helpless before , the pain was suffocating him , no air conditioning was enough to make the sweat off his forehead stop. He had no idea on how to console Asia or what words to use... Or find something to say that could make her feel better. Zack paced back and forth thinking of what he would do next. Kevin is dead, Alex was also dead, what else could he do in the name of revenge? This feeling was something he had never felt before, he suddenly screamed with all his might then fell to the ground again, panting and sweating. "Zack you need to calm down, it's not like Chris is dead so just..."Only a miracle can save him at this moment" Zack interrupted absent mindedly. Terry was stunned, could it be that the situation is this bad?
Asia smiled at her father and they slowly walked in. Fortune and camilla went in last and sat at the back . Asia felt a little nervous but with her father beside her, she felt relieved."Chris, I give my daughter to you, my only daughter. Love her, take care of her as a wife, respect her and always make her happy" Asia's father said this with so much emotions, he stepped back and motioned for the priest to begin the ceremony. Kevin who was in the crowd signaled for Alex to get ready, he was not willing to wait for Chris and Asia to be pronounced husband and wife....At this moment, Kevin and Alex both stood to their feet, Ashley who was a little absent minded noticed this action and subconsciously yelled in a loud voice "Asia get down". Chris reacted before the bullet could reach Asia,he stood in front of Asia like a shield, receiving the bullets being shot at him. The church hall was in chaos as everyone lay on the floor screaming
