“God, please don’t let my father die,” Evina couldn’t fight the tears from streaming down like a waterfall in her face. She tried to wipe them off, only to be replaced by more tears.
Her newly restored relationship with her father hasn't even reached a decade! She didn’t expect that something like this would happen to him.
“He will be alright,” Gabriel grabbed her shivering hand and pressed them. His plum lips curled in a reassuring smile as he tried to ease the pain she was feeling inside.
“Let’s go, please,” Evina stared out the window, hoping that time would fly and take them to where her father was right now.
They weren’t able to finish the movie as Chairman Yang told her the bad news. Her father was in the hospital, and he needed a blood transfusion as soon as possible.
They immediately went to the parking lot, so they could get out and go there at once.
Gabriel was about
“All right, don’t pick us. It’s your loss, not ours!" Evina gritted her teeth as she marched out of the Tech Studios parking lot.She has worked on this project for months. But the CEO of Tech Studios chose another company as their business partner. As far as she knows, the owner of that firm uses bribes to gain an edge above other tech firms.The sun outside was so scorching hot that one could fry an egg just by cracking it in the ground. But Evina didn't mind as she tramped on it."I hope all you greedy executives go bankrupt. Or better yet, you should rot in jail for the rest of your life!" she screamed at the top of her lungs before opening the door of her car with full force.*Screech!*
Gabriel’s eyes blinked rapidly as he gazed at his bride. His heart almost stopped beating.She looked exquisitely lovely in her dazzling white mermaid cut wedding gown, designed with pearls and choice gemstones. Her flaming red hair was neatly tucked under her veil.“You’re one lucky man, sir,” Paul whispered in his ear, making him nod in agreement. His eyes twinkled with an inner glow.He put his arms behind his back as he awaited his queen to come walking towards him in front of the aisle.As he did so, he drew in a deep breath. He could not imagine himself being wedded, and being much in love with his bride, like this.All his life he has dedicated himself to the company and for him, having a girlfriend, much so a wife, is an additional responsibility.That’s before he met Evina, the woman who made his heart live again.Now she was slowly walking towards where she was. Every step made his heart jump wi
After three months...Evina clutched her waist as she felt fluttery butterflies circling inside it. She bit her lips to prevent them from trembling.She didn’t know that this event would be this nerve-wracking. She thought that since they’ve been together through hoops, this wouldn’t be a stressful event anymore.“Relax, you’re ruining your makeup,” Maria scolded her as she checked her reflection in the mirror.‘Simon, remove your coat. That cake might spill on it. We don’t have a spare your size,” Maria turned to Simon, who was busy eating ice cream at that moment.Evina peeked at the window, her autumn eyes beholding the round tables with beautiful floral centerpieces. Some of the guests were already there.Gabriel must be in another room with his best man, Paul. Was he feeling the same way she was feeling right now?She felt her nervous sweat clinging to her white gown. She want

She wanted to take it off, but her friends had a hard t
William felt like he had slept for a long time. His body was sore and he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.His face grimaced as he tried to recall what happened.He remembered going to Chairman Yang even with a gunshot wound. He didn’t want to fail him again.Fortunately, he reached there on time. But he couldn’t recall what happened after that. Everything was already blurred up.While he was contemplating the situation, he heard voices talking around him.“You should’ve bought grapes. You know, Dad doesn’t like peaches.”“There are no grapes in the store. Besides, I remember him eating this before.”“He just ate it because you forced him to. Don’t you remember?”He opened his eyes, so he could see them clearly. It’s Maria and Evina, quarreling over a basket of fruits.He lifted his hand. But as he did so, he noticed that there was an IV set attached
Evina didn’t know how she made it back to the Chairman. Her lids were already swollen from crying.She was about to go to the Chapel of the hospital and pray all night for God’s extension of life for her father. But she wanted to say goodbye to the Chairman first, out of respect.“It seems that you’re finally reconciled with the Chairman, Dad. After twenty long years. And you still have a lot of time to spend your years together,” she mumbled to herself.“You can drink up all night, share your family stories under the night sky. Then we, your children, would scold you both and make you come to bed like you used to do to us when we were young,” Evina rattled on while laughing at her imagination like a crazy woman as she dragged her feet back to where she left the Chairman.To her surprise, she didn’t just see the Chairman with his guards. There were three other people with him.“Evina,” Mar
