As I continued to stare at him, the threat of that day replayed inside my head.

He said the next time he came, it was going to be my funeral. And this was the first time I had seen him since the time he slapped me across my cheek.

“Ack”. I swallowed the invisible lump in my throat as his eyes met mine. It was sudden and made me feel like my spirit jumped out of my body and returned.

I immediately turned my face away from him, but when I glanced in his direction, my eyes widened when I saw hi

  • The Naive Lady Is Gone: No Longer The Docile Fool   Chapter 68) An imposter.

    As I stood in front of the VIP ward room, I pushed the door open and entered in a hurry. “Where is the patient, nurse Felic-”. I did not finish my words after I saw the way the people in the ward froze and stared at me. I looked awkwardly at them. “Oh. This must be the wrong ward”. I said, before I turned and smirked, pretending that I was leaving the ward. “Wait… aren't you… aren't you, Doctor Gina?”. I turned to the lady in a white shirt after she asked me. As I saw the lady in the white shirt adjusting her glasses, my eyes drifted to the nurse whose hands were shaking. I frowned. “What is wrong, doctor?”. Daisy, who was lying in bed, asked me, after noticing the displeased look on my face. But, rather than reply to her, I walked towards the nurse who tried her best to avoid making eye contact with me. I halted in front of her. “Are you supposed to be here?”. I asked her. “Ye- yes, Doctor Gina”. The nurse replied to me, thus making the frown on my face deepen.“Look into my

  • The Naive Lady Is Gone: No Longer The Docile Fool   Chapter 67) Lewis: “Pathetic”/ I will protect you enough to crush you.

    “Let go of me right now, Lily. Allow me to put this trash in his place!”. I declared. I knew my Mom said ‘no cuss words’. But, I just could not help it. Neither could I get myself to calm down. “Please, Lewis. Mom isn't going to be happy about this”. “This is our first day of school. Do you want our Mom to change her mind and make us stay back at the boring estate with Aunt Maddie and Clara?”.My face changed a bit sour upon listening to what Lily said to me. “You see?”. She let go of my hand and pointed a finger directly at my face as she said to me. She continued to say to me, “... I know you don't want that”. I sighed in defeat because she was right about that. “You are always so soft. When are you ever going to grow thick skin, sister?”. I asked her as I slightly shook my head at her. Because of her, I finally calmed down and did not plan on hitting the jerk. Yet. “Ah”. Philip groaned on the floor. “He- help me up! Can't you see that I am in pain?!”. He yelled, and in a hur

    “Isn't this great news, Gina?”. Clara asked me, and judging by the tone of her voice, I could tell just how happy she was. I remained quiet, and even after the doors to the elevator opened up, I remained standing still for a few seconds, before I actually got out of the elevator. “Well, why aren't you saying anything?”. She asked me. “Oh. Nothing. I am just happy for you, Clara”. I replied to her, but I still found the news very shocking. I soon arrived inside my office and went to sit on the sofa. “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”. I asked her. “Huh. Something else? Like what?”. She asked me. “Oh. Then, I am sure you don't mind me hanging up the call”. I said. “Wait-!”. Clara tried to say, but I had hung up the call on her and left my cell phone aside on the sofa. Then my hand reached out, and my fingers massaged my temple.“He is her new boyfriend?”. I said. The words sounded foreign in my lips. I sighed and rose from the sofa. I went ahead to stand next to t

  • The Naive Lady Is Gone: No Longer The Docile Fool   Chapter 65) A new boyfriend.

    “Get up. I did not ask you to kneel down before me”. I tried to help him back to his feet, but he was hell-bent stubborn on kneeling down, as he continued to plead with me and even went as far as bowing before me.“No. There is no need for me to get up if you are not going to accept my request, Doctor Gina”.“Please. You must help me save my daughter's life. She is the only family I have got”. He pleaded with me, and after I saw some tears landing on the floor, I paused and did not try to help him up anymore. I sighed and turned away from him, before I bit my lower lip and clenched my fist.To think that he had been pushed to this miserable point because he did not have the money to treat his daughter, thus making her life hang by a thread.‘Carlos, you bastard. It wasn't enough that you stole my mother's company, and now, you have the audacity to treat her loyal employee poorly?’. I almost let out a sinister chuckle because I knew that what was coming for him was going to be way wor

  • The Naive Lady Is Gone: No Longer The Docile Fool   Chapter 64) Feeling guilty.

    “A date?”. I was stunned. “Yes. So, call me back later. Bye”. She said to me. Her voice sounded like a whisper, and it also sounded like she was in a hurry to cut me off. “Wait! Who are you on a date wi-”. I did not get to finish asking her my question, because my cell phone beeped. It turned out that she had hung up the call on me. I frowned and dialed her phone number. But, she was not picking up. “On a date?”. I muttered, as I tried to understand the gravity of her words. It was shocking to me that, out of the blue, she had someone to date. “Clara. You will never change”. I shook my head and decided not to think much about her, because I knew she would eventually tell me the unlucky one who was her date. I sighed, before I kept my cell phone aside and rested my head on the seat. Some minutes later, I sat up. “I will take it from here, guys. You can come down from the sienna”. My words made the bodyguard in charge of driving the sienna, park the sienna off the road. Then, a

    “Nothing. I mean nothing, Mrs Mirabel. But, I would have to decline”. I said to her without a smile on my face. “But-”. “I am certain I came here for my kids' registration and not for something else. Are you trying to force me?”. I asked her with darkened eyes. “No. Not at all”. She said with a chuckle, but I knew it was a forced chuckle. She was not happy that I had refused her. But did I care about her feelings? Not even a single bit or in the slightest. I cared nothing about how she was feeling. A knock was suddenly heard on the door, making everyone turn in the direction of the door. “Come in!”. Mrs Mirabel said to the person, causing the door to swing open, and a young lady walked in holding some files in her hands. She went ahead to Mrs Mirabel and gave her the files. “Here is what you asked for, Mrs Mirabel. The registration files”. After handing over the files, she turned to me and her eyes sparkled. “Doctor Gina, can you please sign my book?”. She cam

    Mr Ricardo’s pov, I was in the basement. Seated. With my eyes fixed on the newspaper in my hand, while my ears listened to the melody in the man's cries. I had enough and lifted my palm, making my men stop beating the chained man. I handed the newspaper to one of my men, before I fixed my gaze on

    He took me with him to the altar, where a priest stood, looking like he had been forced against his will to come. I could see the beads of sweat that kept on sliding down his temples. Including how his hands holding the holy book trembled. And when I glanced at the audience, I saw the same thi
