LOGINThe doctor took a brief moment before speaking.“She suddenly began convulsing and her vital signs were dangerously unstable, we did everything within our possible best…”Bryan felt a fresh pool of sweat gather on his forehead. His throat became dry and itchy, his legs also became numb instantly as he stood there, he already knew the worst would come but somehow, he needed to hear it from the doctor himself. His heart dinned against his chest as he waited desperately, searching the doctor’s face for a hint of good news.“But we were able to stabilize her.” Bryan eyes widened as the doctor slowly let out a faint smile. “Mrs. West has regained consciousness.” Bryan couldn’t process what he just heard, he took an involuntary step backwards to the wall, for support in keeping his stance. “What?!” He exclaimed feeling excited and antsy at the same time. “You mean my–my mother is alive?!”“Yes,” the doctor nodded. “Mrs. West has woken up.”A tremendous butterfly wave of relief swept throu
Kate glanced at her phone screen trying to confirm the location Fiona had sent to her with the restaurant in front of her. It was the right place. She slipped her phone into her handbag, let out a slow breath before heading in, scanning her surroundings instinctively. The moment she entered, she spotted Fiona seated at a table in the left corner, waving enthusiastically at her as though she had been timing the very second she would walk through the door.Kate’s skin crawled at the sight of the fake smile and pretentious warmth. How could she just smile and act up like she didn’t do anything wrong. The memory was still vivid in he mind but she tried to suppress it’s familiar sting. How badly she had been deceived by this green snake in the green grass. But she’s not going to let that happen again. Whatever game Fiona was trying to play again, she was more than ready for it.Let’s see what kind of performance you’ve prepared for me, Fiona.“Hey Katie! I honestly didn’t think you’d come.
Kate wrapped her dark blue silk robe tighter around herself as she strode to the kitchen. “Good morning ma’am.” Helen, the chef on duty welcomed her with a warm smile. “Morning Helen.” Kate replied, taking in the rich scent of caramelizing onions and peppers. “What’s sizzling?” She grinned. “Egg sauce.” Helen responded with a broad smile.“Can’t wait to have that on my plate.” Kate said, grinning.A sharp buzz from Kate’s phone interrupted them. “Excuse me.” Kate murmured, stepping out of the kitchen. Helen gave a polite nod and returned her focus to the sauce on fire.“Hey Felix, how’s it going?”“It’s fine ma’am, how are you doing? Was actually expecting you to be asleep by this time considering the nightmare yesterday was.”Kate let out a soft giggle, and leaned against the wall. “Oh well, my internal clock ain’t changing anytime soon. Are you at the office already?”“Yes ma’am, I just unlocked the main doors.”“Alright then, you’re officially in charge for today. I’m going to
Bryan blinked repeatedly as his mind struggled to process what he had just witnessed.The officers inside the division kept stealing glances at the scene before them, pretending to be busy while secretly trying to catch every detail. Kate stood frozen and dumbstruck. Her fingers were still wrapped around Avan’s arm although she could barely feel them. Her mind was completely blank. She slowly lifted her eyes to meet his piercing gaze. For the briefest moment, she saw a faint glint of softness in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared and his expression returned to it’s usual. Kate’s lips parted to say something but before she could form a single word, Bryan exploded. “You shameless brat,” His face twisted with barely concealed fury as he threw the invitation card toward Avan. “I knew you were up to no good when you came back to Lavoire!”Avan didn’t even flinch.“And you?” Bryan snapped turning toward Kate. “Are you not shameless? You accused me of cheating, then called off our weddin
“Sir, there’s been a mix-up.” The Chief Security Officer took a deep breath in. “Miss Delaney is not a suspect.”Bryan laughed loud and disbelieving. “Excuse me?!”“It was–““No! I don’t want to hear any of it!”“Sir, please let’s head to my office to settle this matter.”“No!” Bryan snapped. “She’s a criminal, let the court decide her fate!”“Sir,” the man lowered his voice as he stepped closer to him. “We acted wrongly. In fact, we owe this woman an apology.”Bryan closed the distance and grabbed him by the collar. “You heard clearly when her accomplice confessed, so tell me, huh? What’s the mix-up about that?” The man choked as he struggled for air. Bryan gave him a deadly stare, then shoved him back, leaving him to be humiliated before the eyes of his junior officers. “Seems like you don’t know how to do your job.” Bryan said giving a threatening look to the man. “Well I won’t allow a dangerous criminal walk away freely,” he continued, his voice rising. “She is going to pay dearl
The officers at the station began hurrying back and forth the corridor and exchanging nervous glances. Mrs. Delaney who had been sitting at the waiting area couldn’t help but notice the brewing tension. “What’s going on?” She asked her lawyer seated by her side who obviously didn’t have an answer. Her eyes immediately caught sight of the chief security officer coming from one of the inner offices, he was moving quickly and her gaze followed him heading towards the entrance. But before he could get there, the main doors suddenly burst open. A man stepped inside and the moment his feet hit the floor, the air got sucked right out of the room. He was impeccably dressed from head to toe and his aura, so intense it scorched everyone. His eyes were colder than the steel handle of the main doors behind him, promising ruin to anyone who dares oppose him. The Chief security officer stood some feet away and inhaled deeply summoning what was left of his composure.“Mr. West.” Avan barely ackno
“Why don’t you have chefs in the house.” Kate asked as she leaned against the doorway of Avan’s study.He didn’t bother responding but maintained his focus on the documents spread across his desk.“It’s always a struggle finding something to eat around here you know, your refrigerator is practically
“What the hell!” The lady exclaimed as she felt someone pulled her arm.“Kate! Oh my gosh we looked everywhere for…. You’re not Kate” She stopped trying to catch her breath.Bryan and Fiona came to a halt of their chase and were met with confused looks between the two.“That’s not Kate.” They said
“Kate! Kate!” He roared as he burst Into the Ave penthouse. “I’m right here,” she said coming out from the kitchen “Just tryna see what to survive on.” She added.“Your phone!…Where is it?”“It’s right here.” She replied as she brought it out of her pocket. “What is…No!!” Kate screamed as he smash
