Chapter 7
~ Christain Forbes ~
Pale blue eyes peered into mine as we sat across each other. The dark circles under her eyes indicated she's been deprived of a good sleep maybe.
'What do you have to say?' I urged her to speak.
Her lips pressed into a thin line before she spilled it. 'I'm having problem at the hospital'.
My brows furrowed and I rested my elbow on the desk, leaned on it to have a closer look at her facial features.
'Why?'
She rolled her eyes, her perfectly pouted lips nibbling against each other.
'You should know better than anyone else'
I cussed under my breath when the realization dawned on me.. that son of a bitvh. It's like he's got some nerve after all the wrongs he did.
'I'm sorry this is happening to you but my father informed me he already took care of things, so, he shouldn't bother you anymore…' I trailed off.
'Well, he's a difficult man, Mr. Dylan. He's threatening to fire me. He wouldn't even let me engage in any hospital activity. He's making everything difficult for me..' she lamented tearily.
I pushed down the guilt I felt that instant.
'I'm sorry, Miss. I promise I'll do something about it' I assured her.
'When? I need something to be done as quick as possible. I don't want to be doomed. This is my career, my future!' she cried out. The tense atmosphere I sensed when I first saw her by the door spread around the atmosphere again.
I straightened on my seat and said casually. 'If you want me to take the position from him, all you need is to spill it. I mean, you're the one still stopping us from taking legal actions'
She nodded. 'I'll be expecting a feedback soon..'
'I'll make sure he doesn't mess with you anymore' I promised and flashed her a reassuring smile.
The office door busted open unexpectedly and my guard surfaced, panting hard.
I jumped to my feet, immediately at alert.
'What is it?'
'He's here to see you..'
'Who?' I pestered.
'The c….'
I heard nothing more from him as a bulky, tall man walked into my office.. out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the nurse stiffen and tremble at the sight of this man, Like she's had a fearful encounter with him before. I focused my attention on him. Why do I sense foreboding….
~~
The office was devoid of all humans except for the two of us. I could sense the rage coming off his aura, the hatred he harbors towards me through his expression.
I searched my mind, wondering whether or not I've met this man before, happens I do not know him but why do I sense so much familiarity?.
'Good morning, Misterm how can I help you?'' I took the initiative to start up a conversation with him.
'Ha ha ha' he laughed, walked up close to where I stood. 'Hey there. It's kinda sad I've not been introduced to you..'
'You can as well do that yourself' I shot back, displeased by how sinister he was acting..
He took long strides to one of the sofas and sat on it,. unbothered.
'Don't you feel like you've met me before?' he asked, crossing his right leg over his left, his confidence top notch. He acts like he's got a right to me, a right to my personal space.
However, My intuition grew stronger as he mentioned that. I knew it.. I've met him before. His aura is so darned familiar but it's frustrating that I can't recall his face or under which circumstance we met.
'You obviously aren't sure of your words.' I chose to play naive, hoping he'll bring me close to an answer.
'Good gracious… you're dumber than I thought, Christain Forbes' he scowled.
Christain Forbes… the name repeatedly rang in my head till it finally hit. My veins pulsed in my ears and temple. I bared my teeth, pointing an accusing finger at him as it all flooded back.. the small room, abduction, threats… 'It was you, wasn't it?' I questioned quietly, needing his words to affirm my thoughts.
He spread both arms wide apart, his lips curled into a lopsided grin. 'Yes, Christian. You got that right' .he responded with utmost calmness, almost making me lose my nerves!.

There are no real friendships, no true relationships, and even if the feelings somehow turn genuine, they're immediately muddled by the talks of business and incessant urges to tie the knot in marriage if the family is a favourable one. Only if the family is a favourable one. If it isn't then they do everything to ruin those feelings and create discord between the ones involved. It was a messy life filled with pretense, politics and numbers. It made me sick to the bones. My father has apparently disowned me because I have yet again disappointed him after he fixed a wedding for me without my knowledge. I found out at the last second and fled, causing a effect I didn't quite expect and I didn't regret either. Apparently, I underestimated the publicity of this particular event and it spread pretty quickly that the daughter of one of the most influential businessmen in the country ran away from her wedding. People were quick to point fingers at my father, accusing him of forcing his
A Mail
Raising a kid isn't exactly easy, you know," she said. "We're not suffering yet, but we're struggling. I would very much like to walk away from her, give you the middle finger and pray you die in an accident on your way back, but I can't." I flinched as she said those words. I forgot that she was also quite emotionally violent when she wants to be. "Why not?" She chuckled at my question. "Weird. Normally, one would be happy when they realize that they can't be cursed to death." I shrugged. "I can't say that I don't deserve it. Sometimes I wish for the same thing too." She gave a surprised look before continuing. "We need help, and even though you are a heartless, devilish, godforsaken, rotten, disgusting piece of shit, you have the ability to help us. You are rich and we aren't. Raising my daughter has been the greatest joy of my life even with our current situation, so raising her in a comfortable environment where she would be happy promises to bring even better joy. Despite t
A Humble request
The aroma of sizzling seafood pleasantly assaulted my nostrils as I looked around in search of the blonde beauty I came here for. I found her at the far corner of the restaurant sitting by a window wall and staring directly at me. I tensed up for a few seconds at the intensity of her stare but eventually relaxed as I walked towards her table. Even if I'm apologetic, I still have a reputation to uphold. I'm not gonna appear weak in front of her. "Hi, Donna," I flashed my best smile at her as I sat down on the seat opposite hers. "Hi," she said, her melodious voice filtering into my ears like a song. "It's...uh...nice to see you again," I said awkwardly. "I can't say the same, sorry," she shrugged. "I'd rather be with my child right now, or working." "Speaking of your child," I looked around her. "Where is.....your child?" "You don't know the gender, do you?" she asked and I shamefully looked away. I couldn't bring myself to answer that. "Well, she's okay, and happy where she is."
Meeting Donna
AUDREY HEPBURN I calmly exited my room once I was done with my exaggerated preparations to meet Donna. The maids gave me an apprehensive look as I made my way down the stairs before bowing respectfully as they hurried past me to do their jobs. "Good morning, sir," they said before heading in multiple directions and focusing on their chores. Even then, I could feel the tension in the air caused by my presence. "Everyone's acting like I'm the first person to attempt a murder on planet earth," I thought as I rolled my eyes. "There's a woman literally being called the worst human in the country and they just wouldn't ignore my little transgression." "Good morning, Audrey my boy," a calm sonorously thin voice greeted from behind me and placed a small frail hand on my back. "You look good today." I turned around with a sigh of relief as the old but beautiful nanny Helen graced me with her beautiful smile. She's been my nanny ever since I can remember and devoted all of her life to raisi
Free but not free
AUDREY HEPBURN The alarm clock blared in my ear causing me to slam it quiet with a groan. Rolling over on my bed, I let out a sigh. "I don't want to leave my room today." Just like every other day, I don't want to have to leave this room. I don't deserve to. My world has been turned upside down since that incident with Christian and sincerely, it's all my fault. I can't even blame it on anyone else. At the time, it seemed like the best course of action but now that I think about it, attempting to kill your step brother just because of a misunderstanding is quite extreme and malicious. Especially if it turns out that the woman you believed to be your mother was a lying bitch and you were infact biological brothers with the same step brother you tried to kill. That just brings it to a whole other level of terror. That was exactly what I did and now I feel like shit. For the most part of my life, I've always seen Christian as my step brother. I've always envied him, hated that he
