“Dora?” Andrew spoke in a whisper. He was shocked but also disturbed. What was Dora doing in his room in Susan’s clothes and ring and where was Susan? The bed was soaked with blood and so was Dora. Andrew’s white shirt was already marked with a few stains as well, as he held her in his arms.The siren outside showed that the police and emergency teams had arrived so he gave the body to the driver to convey to the ambulance while he continued searching for Susan. He checked the washrooms and any and every room with no sign of her. The more he searched the greater his disappointment, as he kept calling her number but there was no answer and her phone was nowhere to be found. He decided to wake Melissa to ask her a few questions, since the security personnel authorized to retrieve the CCTV was also unconscious. If Andrew wanted to do it himself, it would take too long and there weren’t any cameras in his room for the sake of privacy. Luckily, the police walked in with paramedics who kep
Susan frowned slightly. If there was even the slightest hint that Dora had not changed, she was going to get even. “I have to know what it is first.”“Can I be one of your bridesmaids? It’s the last thing I want to do before I leave. I will understand if you don’t want me at your wedding but I mean everything I’m saying. It’s useless trying to tear apart two people who love each other. I don’t want to end up as a desperate woman. I want my life to be better with the lessons I’ve learnt.”Susan stared strangely at her before she said, “I don’t know why I’m doing this but I will grant your wish.” It seemed to Susan that Dora genuinely wanted to be close to her but they just got off from a wrong start. “Thanks sis, you’ve made me happy but please make sure that that bitch rots in prison,” Dora said and was about to give in to sleep when Susan asked, “How did you know the one who attacked you?” Since Dora was pretending to be asleep by then, she shouldn’t have seen her attacker right?“
Two weeks Later “Now you may kiss the bride,” the priest announced. There were cheers of excitement as their lips met. The kiss was unusually long, in that Greg had to remind Andrew that they could continue during the honeymoon. It was agreed that since Greg was the best man, Mia should be given the role of the maid of honor. Amelia, Charlotte and Dora were the bridesmaids. The tail of Susan’s wedding gown swept the aisle, as the pair walked out of the auditorium amidst cheers. Two families were united today. Mr and Mrs Stack were the proudest parents ever known. The media took over, announcing the wedding as one of the biggest in the history of New York. Youngsters could only wish to have such a wedding one day. Dora bid her foster parents farewell as promised to Susan and left for Canada. Andrew and Susan had secured admission for her in one of the prestigious universities so she returned the money given to her by Melissa’s brother’s men to the police. However, she kept Susan’
Andrew and Susan had just returned from Fiona’s wedding in Holland. Susan soaked her heavy and tired body in a bubble bath in the jacuzzi as Andrew washed her with lather. Since they had a healthy pregnancy, they made love almost every night after making sure that Sophia was sound asleep. Today, their little flower was equally exhausted by the trip to Holland and slept as soon as she had her shower and dinner respectively.Before, the girl would slip into their room countless times and sleep in between them. Andrew made sure to send her back to her room anytime she fell asleep, so he could make good use of the private moment with his wife. They loved Sophia and always tried to be there for her but also ensured to make time for each other.“The doctor said I’m due,” Susan reminded him. She was too tired to give in tonight and she could feel some light contractions as well. Since her first labor lasted for 48 hours, she decided to wait until the pain became unbearable.“Point of correcti
"Susan, let's break up for now," her boyfriend Xavier said. Susan was stunned, and then she relaxed. It was the first of April. She picked her glass of wine elegantly with her slender fingers and sipped. Xavier had a good sense of humor. "Good one Xavier, playing April fool on me? Please don't joke with something like that next time. It's too scary," she sighed. Being with Xavier for two years, she had grown to love him even though they didn't quite agree on many things but he was understanding. Seemingly, his next words shattered her heart, throwing them into a bin. He pressed his hand onto her free hand on the table, as he looked around the luxury restaurant. The couples around seemed to be in love but he couldn't say the same for himself. "I'm sorry Susan but I'm not joking. I'm in love with someone else and she's pregnant for me." The wine in her hand dropped, and the glass broke. Her cream dress was stained with red wine but it was her heart bleeding. Her left hand underneath h
Andrew stared at her differently and he couldn't say how he felt. Did he have a wrong impression of her? He wanted to save her from the other guy because he was bad news but the lady was demanding something that..."You are kidding right?" He forced a smile. He thought she was different and decent but maybe he was wrong."I would have stayed home," she smiled flirtatiously, his heart leapt. He had eyes on her since she walked into the club. There was something different about her than the girls he previously picked from here. The way she went straight to the bar and ordered red wine meant she was cloaking something."But why? You hardly know me." He was determined to know what was making her give herself freely away. Even whores had their price but Susan was giving her gorgeous body for free. Andrew’s reservation was making her lose her patience."You know what, you ask too many questions. Let me hook up with the first guy," she began walking towards the direction the hot guy went when
'He is joking right?' Susan studied Andrew's facial expression as she went on to infer. 'No, he looks serious.' “Why do you want to stay?” She asked curiously. Andrew didn't know how to explain it to her. It was too early to know exactly what he wanted but for now, he needed a new place after being kicked out of the previous one. "It's not what you think. I'm homeless at the moment and just need a place for a few days till I get a job. It’s a sad thing that no one wants to befriend a poor man." Susan shook her head a little remorsed, the corner of her lips forming a smirk. "What kind of job do you want?" She was hoping that he would mention something in line with marketing, finance or anything in relation to her knowledge, but was thrown off-guard by his answer. "I don't have any qualifications so perhaps, cleaning, washing, ironing and cooking?" Susan’s brows knitted together and he realized that she didn't believe a word he was saying and stopped. He tried to hold her hand but s
"Go to sleep, Miss Stack. The streets have always been my home," Andrew hugged his shivering form and lowered his head. He was bent on living with her, pretending to be cold and appealing to her concience. Susan felt her heart tighten. With a chuckle, she drove into the compound of her apartment. As soon as she stepped out of the car, she hastened out to see him again.Reaching there, she didn't say a word, just wrapping her arms around him to help lift him from the floor. Andrew was shocked. "Don't you think you'll be infested with germs?" He asked with concern, knowing her germaphobe.Susan didn't utter a word, helping him to her room and into the shower. "Clean up. The water is warm," she mumbled, leaving him astonished. He wasn't the only one. For the first time, she didn't think about her disorder but rather acted on impulse, not knowing what to call it.She went to the kitchen and made some chicken soup. When he came out, he was dressed in pyjamas. 'That backpack must have a lot
