โQuick! Get her to into the building!โ It seemed Valerie had been shielded in time as the commotion began and three men were guiding her as they were running in the direction of the back entrance to the house. โLike I would let you get away, you vain witch!โ Adrian couldnโt go after them however. Not when bullets were flying about the place sporadically and the number of fallen men kept on the increase. He had taken cover behind a wall and peered out cautiously to see they were all down and the attacker was nowhere in sight. โDid he go after them instead?โ He thought that plausible since they mustโve not been only after him but Valerie as well. Whoever they were that had skillfully mingled into his men and kept their profile hidden so perfectly. He froze, there was a sound that defused behind him and his body stilled on an impulse. He heard it again, louder and closer this time and shook wholly at the dreadful sensation that drenched down his form when he heard the cocking of a g

It was Pablo who grinned at the glaring man and innocently walked in, in the company of his sister, his mother and the Don. When Mario felt the new presence that entered into the ward, he looked away and beamed to see Pascal. Carrying his plastic bowl in his hand, he was once again making a great dash. โGrandpa!โHayes had never seen the Don before and as he observed him closely, he could see the prominent features Pablo had was inherited from his father. โI see youโre having quite the moment yourself huhโ Pascal smiled as he had the boy in his arms and the child giggled guiltily. Mario saw the woman that came with them and looked at her with unfamiliarity and he questioned in a small voice, โAre you my grandma?โ The childโs innocent question had the adults looking his way and Mrs Jefferson gave him a warm, affectionate smile and quickly glanced at his mother before nodding. โThatโs right, Iโm your mommyโs mother and that makes me your grandmaโ. โWhat?โ Bloom, Pablo and Laura were

โListen to me!

Bloom laughed heartily to what Anna was saying at the other end of the line as she pressed the button at the bottom of the pen. "You really want to do that? Mario would love it but I don't think Martha would want to join in. It's her day after all..."She was making a list for her daughter's two-year old birthday party and had asked Anna for some suggestions in case she was missing something. "...I think I might have to revise my budget once more" She pouted, using the butt of the pen to scratch her hair as she peered down into the rough scribble."It's good Ella's going with me- you should come with as well..." She began to walk away from the island, heading out of the kitchen where the children's voices came blowing against her.Mario came running down the hallway in pursuit of Benjamin who carried a happily babbling Martha in his arms.

โIโve lost my jobโDevastation was an understatement as Bloom stood over the threshold with a damp aura about her. She fisted her hands to her sides as her little frame began trembling. She hated how horrible she felt but she knew there was nothing she could do to change what had already happened.Mr Griffo wouldnโt bother to listen to her complaint either so she knew it was better she woke up to this fact and chugged it down.โBloom?โ A man stood up from where he was seated, by the fireplace and carefully approached the despondent woman. His brows creased when he got a clearer look to her face and he sighed, placing his large hands onto her shoulders.โHey nowโฆdonโt put on such a lookโ His voice came out soft and caressing that even the stubborn woman had to dissolve under with a groan. He smiled when he saw her giving in and moved his hands to hold hers to guide her in.โIโฆIโm soโฆso sorryโ Her voice croaked out despite her efforts to come out clean.

Bloom was frozen to stillness as she walked into the building. All around her were people in formal suits, walking about and no one even bothered about her presence there. She held her breath as her stiff legs brought her to the front desk receptionist.Bloom couldnโt help but panic a little in discomfort when the blonde lady stared up at her. She looked so professional in her grey suit and her eyes settled on the badge stuck to the left side of her chest. โAnna Simpson, Front Desk Receptionistโ.โExcuse me mam, how may I help you?โ The woman spoke softly to her and Bloom felt her tongue glue to the roof of her mouth. She was stuck and luckily for her, the woman only smiled and moved on to speak. โYou must be here for the interview. Ella!โ She looked away while Bloom was seemingly speechless as she remained rooted to her spot, unmoving and almost forgetting to breathe.Another professionally dressed woman walked up to the front desk and smiled brightly at her.

โYour resume?โHis hard lips parted once more to ask and as if she was just freed from a grave curse, Bloom fumbled to present and open her folder friskily. She was beginning to fidget and it wasnโt a good sign. Bloom was soon a mess as her shaky fingers let the documents in the folder slip and fell from her grip. She gasped and the CEO only signed, relaxing back in his seat to watch her make more fun of herself.โWhy is this happening?โ She was at the brink of tears at this moment as she gathered her documents together. But something startled her after she picked up a document that was lying on her foot. This made her scream in a loud voice, jerking to her feet butโฆshe bumped the back of her head beneath the protruded edge of the table and winced greatly.โOwโฆโBloom lost her balance, knees slamming back against the floor. With eyes shut and a hand massaging the hurting area, Bloom threw her free arm over the table to find a hold to lift herself up butโฆshe accidentally let her arm swi

Laura was going to say that normally but it seemed she was rather excited about it than she presumed. Bloom burned even more at her announcement and shrank into herself, wanting to vanish right that moment. โS-sheโs pregnant?โ Mrs Jefferson's brows shot up with pleasant surprise and she walked up to her and held her hands. Bloom felt nervous and antsy as she lifted her gaze and was stunned to see the big smile on her face. โDoes he know?!โ Ah, this bubbly girl. Bloom was helpless towards Laura and could only blush so hard and bite her lip as she shyly murmured her hesitant reply, โN-no- how would he know anyway when I only just found out?โ Laura grinned toothily and Bloom flushed, knowing she was being played with as she sighed. The girl was such a jovial and boisterous person and so the shy and reserved Bloom couldnโt help but get dragged into her pace and teased like that. โLaura, donโt be a bully and spare her your troublesโ Mrs Jefferson chided her daughter who innocently zipp

Sergio was walking down the corridor, in search of the little boy. Mario had suddenly just ran out of his fatherโs ward and since he was small, he quickly disappeared from his uncleโs sight and was currently nowhere to be found. He had thought the boy would be in his uncleโs ward instead but couldnโt find him there either and he was heading to the lobby when he passed the stranger who was stepping out of the elevator. โHmmm?โ Sergio stopped and turned. He saw the back of a man? Well, the build did give away it was definitely a man who was clad in a bikerโs outfit and holding his helmet beneath his right arm. His eyes narrowed but he was distracted when he recalled the boy and took a left turn for the stairs, thinking Mario would have taken that way. The stranger smirked and glimpsed at the departing Sergio and walked on. Appearing in front of a ward and reading the name on the doorplate, they pushed the door open and walked in, shutting it behind them quietly. As if they knew before

โLaura, pass the glass of water. Sheโs waking upโ The woman spoke to the girl who immediately went over to the bedside table and gently picked up the tall glass of water and handed it to her mother. Bloom who had been brought in earlier that evening, was scrunching her face and rousing from the state of unconsciousness she was brought in. Her face rumpled more and she shot up with a violent sneeze, startling the other two. Bloom was dumbfounded when her eyes came open. Where were those men she had been with? The surprise attacks and gun shotsโฆher eyes were surveying her surrounding and she couldnโt recognize the unfamiliar faces before her. Mrs Jefferson eased her dilemma by speaking to her first, โYou were rescued from the ones who held you captive. I know youโre frightened and still yet to come around with what youโve been through but I assure you, youโre safe nowโ. It feltโฆstrangely warm and assuring, to listen to the tender words of this woman who had a similar hair color to he

โYouโre acquainted with them?โ The chatters ceased and Pablo went silent for a moment, recalling it must really be the first time she was seeing Stefano. He nodded, โYeah, weโre sort of relatedโ. Sergio jumped when he said that and threw an arm round his neck. โHey, whatโs that to mean huh? Weโre your older brothers, the only ones youโll ever have. Stop acting like weโre some pain up your assโ. And the foul language and his uncouth mannerismsโฆAlexa frowned openly. โIโm worried for the upbringing of this childโฆthen again, Iโm not the exception myselfโ She cackled suddenly, drawing the menโs attention her way. It was a blow to her, to come to the realization she couldnโt not ship herself with the men and she was retreating away in defeat to her iron principles. She entered the ward and shut the door. That was weird, she just cackled to herself and trudged away. What a strange woman. Stefano was also taking his leave, โEvery passing second draws her farther from our reach. Iโll give
