All Chapters of DEEPER INTO YOU: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

ALEXANDERObserving my father's expression, I shifted to notice the devices around him beeping consistently."Kindly do not abandon me." "I require you."The devices persisted in beeping, while my father's chest moved up and down.I felt frightened, furious, and upset. Yet above all, I was anxious. Eager for my father to survive, to flourish, to be well.I gazed at his expression, and my heart shattered once more. I was certain I would do whatever it takes to rescue him, to provide him a chance to survive. However, while I remained there, I understood that certain matters were outside my influence.Our connection had been intricate, to put it mildly. We never agreed, and our arguments will likely turn into shouting almost everytime, which I am aware of.Despite everything, I still didn't want him to die. I wanted to hold on to him, even though the flaws in our relationship is visible for everyone to see. Thinking back to all the times we disagreed and when I felt he didn't understand

ALEXANDER“I'm back," I said, my voice firm but polite. "how's my dad doing?." I walked into the room, scanning the space as I greeted the guards.“He's doing just fine.'’ one of the guys replied me.“Any changes?.” I asked in hope. Maybe something significant might have happened while I was away.“No sir."Once again, my hopes are crushed. I wanted to hear something different, not just a simple, no sir.“Okay, I'm here now so can leave.”The guards nodded, their faces expressionless, as they begin to file out of the room. “Wait!.” I called out to them.“Yes sir, do you need anything?.” one of them asked.“No. I just wanted to tell you guys to take an hour or two off, go home, shower, eat some good food and lay your head a little before coming back here.”“Thank you sir.” They said in unison and left.I saw the joy evident in their faces as they left. I had slept for three hours, and the rest had done me some good and I think they needed some time to rest too. The three hours rest d

JASMINEI cared less about knowing the passcode. Once I lay my father to rest, I'm serving the bastard those papers that will make me free from this shackle called marriage.“Did you get the code, or I should go over it again?.”Looking at Alexander's face, I know there's something off about his expression, something that's making me feel uneasy but I can't place it right now.“Oh...Y–yes I did. Thank you.” After my replies, I hurried over to the closet and started packing up my belongings.I heard a faint sound that made me pause - it sounded like the door locking into place.'Jasmine, do this shit quick and leave.' My brain tells me.My heartbeat increased radically for no reason. I glanced over at Alexander, who was now lying on his bed, looking relaxed.'‘Have you resumed work at the office?" His question caught me off guard.Why would he be asking me that? How did he even know?."No," I said finally, my voice calm. "I haven't resumed work yet."Alexander's expression didn't chang

JASMINE It's been days already since what happened at Alexander's house. Frederick took me to the hospital and I was treated and given medications. Now, I feel better and had even resumed work at the office. The experience shook me a little, but with Frederick's help, I'm getting back on my feet slowly. Finally the long day at work came to an end. I was exhausted and at same time relieved to be at Frederick's house. Prisca called me just as I was walking in, and I picked up the phone, sitting down in Frederick's living room. I kicked off my shoes and let out a sigh of relief as Prisca launched into a story about her experiences in L.A. "The moment I recieved the mail that says the position is taken, I felt heart broken and then I went to this amazing restaurant that served the best food I've ever had," Prisca said with excitement. "You should try it when you get a chance to–." I listened attentively, smiling at Prisca's enthusiasm. She was always like this, full of energy and p

ALEXANDER“Ale–xander.... Alex... Alex–ander”This is a dream right?I heard a faint voice calling my name. I checked the wall clock and saw that it was 1AM. I looked around the room again. But there was no one else except for my dad and i. The voice seemed to be coming from around me, I looked around, my eyes searching the room, but there was no one in sight.I sat down again, thinking of where the voice came from. Wait a minute. Am I imagining things?The voice returned, and this time it sounded louder than before. I get up quickly to check the room again, and see that no one is present.Taking my eyes to the bed, I noticed my father's eyelids shaking, he's trying to open them. "Alexander... I'm the one calling, it's your father. And not a ghost.’'I'm scared and at the same time, it gladdens me that it's my father's voice I heard. My father, who was lying still is now speaking, I looked at him surprised.The medical team came earlier on and checked him again. They've been doing so
