"Thank you for saving me, gummy bear. I will repay you after all this is done," Carlton promised. "I have told you not to call me that again. I am now a woman," Stacy frowned deadpan to his face. She didn't like that Carlton could not acknowledge her as a woman, could not see her love for him, and could not decipher that she wasn't doing him but herself a favor. She married him because she wanted it! ********* Despite being aware that he was out of her league, Stacy had been in love with her elder brother's friend, Carlton, for a long time. She was determined to make him hers at all costs, without the knowledge of anyone around her. Unfortunately, Carlton's announcement of his marriage to another lady shattered her heart mercilessly. One thing led to another, and she was the one standing on the altar to say the vows as his wife without the knowledge of her family. It was to save him, and to save her desire too. However, he could never look at her with affection. Could not love her no matter how hard she tried, and could not fully accept her as his wife. And they ended up divorcing bitterly despite Stacy's pleas because he wanted it. His ex-girlfriend was back! Picking her life from scratch after a stormy divorce, a miserable lady who became a Certified Physiotherapist is finally healing from disownment from everyone. Stacy Hall had now become the most sought-after. ********** "My heart is broken, Stacy. I have not been able to breathe since you left," He begged with tears. "Mr. Howard. My job is to fix broken bones, not hearts," Stacy replied to him curtly.
View More“Hi, Hudson,” Stacy called sluggishly as soon as she sat in front of her brother, at the restaurant he told her that he was going to meet her. She had been restless ever since he asked if she was at Carlton's, and there was no way that she could deny it even if she wanted to. And she agreed to meet him and talk about it, knowing that he must have been something enough to be convinced. She never thought the day they would have to speak about her and Carlton would come that briskly. “Hey, kid sister,” Hudson responded with a dry smile, even if he had so many ideas and thoughts going on in his head. He had too many questions to ask his sister, and he was not even sure he would know where to start. “How have you been?” Stacy asked him, as she ordered just wine instead of food, knowing that there was no way that she would be able to get food into her stomach, with the nauseating feeling that tension had spread over her body. “Been great, sis,” Hudson answered, “Trust you have been too,”
“Yeah. You said it was urgent,” Liam affirmed as he gazed at her too, with great curiosity lurking in his heart, while trying to get it in control of its rapid beats that awaited the words he had imagined over and over in his head that she would say to him. He had wondered endlessly what she wanted to tell him. “Marry Evelyn, and take over the hospital. It wouldn't be nice if you lost your inheritance,” she muttered briefly as she carried her eyes away from him, her words skipping so fast, like it would hurt her to say them slowly. “What are you talking about?” Liam questioned, his eyebrows jumping in surprise as his forehead knotted in confusion. Immediately, he realized that Evelyn had informed her again of the threat his father had made to him, so that she would pressure him to obey. “Don't you want to take over your inheritance? Do you want to lose what is rightfully yours over something so trivial?” Nadia asked him sternly, her heart beating so erratically, and her voice tre
On the rooftop of the towering heights of a city skyscraper, was Nadia, standing and staring at the beautiful night scenery from that height, while allowing the cold breeze of the night to tousle through her long, flowing hair. Rather than the sight she was gazing at, her mind was ladened with the thoughts of the unexpected encounter that she had with Xander, and the overwhelming emotion that she was yet to get over from the thought of meeting him in that manner at her favorite café. “Fancy meeting you here,” he drawled, eyes gazing at her with so much surprise because she was the last person he would ever have thought to meet.Her head banged at the sight of him and her heart began to beat so fast like she was running out of breath, the more she gazed into his eyes and remembered the torment and pain he had put her through. “How have you been?” He asked her with a smile curving his lips, and her words hung up her throat in disbelief. Her jaw clenched so hard and her fingers tighte
Julius and Carlton had not spoken to one another for a while because of their constant misunderstandings with one another, and his strong disapproval of the supposed doctor he said he was dating. However, he didn't believe the part where he said the lady was his ex-wife, and had even intentionally omitted the information from his head, believing that Carlton said that just because he was enraged. Still, he couldn't help but be subconsciously bothered that his grandson was dating the person who treated him, because he believed it was a mere attraction that sprouted because of his longtime loneliness without a woman, and dependence on the so-called doctor. But with how everything had turned out with the emergency shareholder meeting they had without him, and Carlton returning to the company so abruptly, because of everything that had happened in his absence. He had been trying hard to reach Carlton, but it had not been easy for the past few days. And finally, his beloved grandson was
Unable to hide his recent struggles from Stacy anymore, which he had hidden under a mask of a smile, she demanded to know what was going on with him and why he wasn't telling her anything at all. “Why would you not yell anything, Carlton?! Why do you always hide everything to yourself and suffer alone,” Stacy demanded from him as soon as they entered his house after waiting patiently without saying anything in the car, her eyes blazing with anger and hurt as she struggled to contain the storm of emotions raging within her.“It is not like that, Stace, calm down. A lot has happened since I returned, and it is quite a hassle for me to start telling you everything. I can fix everything with time,” Carlton tried to explain to her in the best way that he could, when he realized that she was angry than he had ever seen her before. “So it does not matter enough for me to know whatever struggles you are going through, regardless of what it is, because you can sort it out yourself? Is that w
“You are finally getting discharged tomorrow morning,” Liam announced mildly with a demure demeanor, as he flipped through the charts of the patient, whose bed he was standing before, “Do not break bones and return here the third time, okay,” he continued, as he looked at her facial expression which looked like she was always ready to fight. “I cannot guarantee that,” Keisha answered frivolously, as she turned to continue making final touches to the image that she had been sketching all day. “Wow! That is some level of outspokenness,” Liam almost stuttered as he spoke to the young lady, as he wondered what was going on in her mind that made her say that. “At least I am better than you,” Keisha remarked, without raising her face to look at him while deeply engrossed in what she was doing. “What?” Liam's feet held back on the spot when he heard what she said in disbelief, the thin line of his left brow arching a little higher than the right as he turned to look at her in surprise.
Stacy was utterly shocked beyond her mind when she saw the news when one of her colleagues showed it to her, and her face turned pale as she read the words that were used to defame her over and over again. Though the news was taken down less than thirty minutes after it was posted, the hospital technical team promised to find out who had posted it. Everyone laughed over it and told Stacy to not be mindful of haters, however, she still could not help but hear the side talk of others talking about how likely the news was definitely genuine.Liam came to see her after he heard about what happened, and they talked about it over lunch together while laughing. He promised to help her get to the root of the matter too. They talked about Nadia too, and talked about physiotherapy though. Stacy appreciated the kind gesture from him because he helped her to feel a little better, but her mind still couldn't get over the worries of who it could be. ‘Who would have done that?’ she wondered endless
“Evelyn is so obnoxious! Gosh!” Stacy muttered furiously under her breath as soon as she remembered her last encounter with her again at the hospital cafeteria. She was sitting in front of her dresser to adjust her makeup, while Nadia was helping her to straighten the curls in her hair with hair stretcher. “Did she already cross the line when it is barely a week of you working back at the hospital?” Nadia questioned in surprise, as a thought occurred to her, “Oh, she might. She must have heard you are friends with Liam, and cannot keep her obsessive behaviour in check,” she muttered disdainfully. “Yes!” Stacy muttered angrily, the more she thought of Evelyn's threat to her again and again. ‘Who does Evelyn think she was?!’“What happened between you two?” Nadia asked flippantly, deeply engrossed in what she was doing. “Did I tell you that I met her already in the past? Four years ago,” Stacy mentioned, as she carefully put on the bracelet that Nadia had given her that morning to ma
“That is great, Felicia! I had no idea that you were even ahead in plans already,” Austin seethed with a broad smile, as he poured himself a glass of champagne, and his friend, Antonio, one too. “I mean, that wedding hall is so hard to book for many months because of endless reservations, and I found the right time to do it. It is better now than later,” Felicia explained with a bright grin curving her lips, as her eyes sparkled with gladness. “Isn't that true, Tracy?” Felicia impulsively invited her into the discussion, seeing that she had been quiet all evening. “Yeah. That is great!” Tracy forced a bright smile and gave a reluctant answer, knowing well that her son was not interested in the union at all. “Then that is final. We can start making the preparations,” Austin declared with exhilaration, as he and Antonio toasted to greatness. “Wait… wait… wait here. Everyone, wait,” Liam chimed in, after waiting for them to ramble on, his voice laced with incredulity, “Wedding halls?
