After stalling for a long while, Ray finally appeared without Jace. The team seated in the room turned their eyes to him almost immediately, and their gazes carried the obvious question.

“The new manager has been keeping us waiting for so long. Is he disregarding our team because he’s the heir?” Richard said. He was the assistant manager for the production team.

  • Too close brother    Can you afford it

    It’s been nine hours since the surgery was over, Katrina refused to leave Vivian’s side, fearing that she might open her eyes very soon.She has been at the hospital for the past thirty-two hours and hadn’t had an hour of sleep. Just when she began to doze off, a hand moved against her weakly.Feeling too tired, she struggled to open her eyes, but when she felt the touch again, her eyes suddenly flicked open and snapped towards Vivian.She was staring right at her, looking weary and confused. Katrina shot up from the chair instantly, covering her mouth in shock as her eyes widened.Tears rushed to her eyes as she stared back at her. She moved quickly to throw herself at her but stopped when she heard Vivian’s silent groan.She wiped the tears that had fallen and quickly pressed the bell to call the doctor to come check on her.For a short while, the doctor examined Vivian and tried to get her to respond to her questions with a nod or a blink.Katrina turned to the doctor. “Doctor, wha

    The surgery took longer than intended. Katrina paced around impatiently, afraid something might have gone wrong.Jace, who was beside her, didn’t leave. He tried to pacify her, but she couldn’t be comforted. Not until the door finally opened again and the doctors came out.She rushed to them at once, Jace right behind her. “How is my Mum?” Katrina asked before the doctor could speak.Doctor Seline smiled, one that brought relief. “She’s fine. The surgery went well,” she announced.A heavy relief fell on Katrina’s heart as she let out a loud, deep gasp. She found herself relaxing on Jace, who was quick to hold her.The doctor proceeded to tell them more about the surgery, but she wasn’t paying attention.“When will she wake up? When can I see her?” she threw questions quickly.“We need to wait and see. But hopefully soon,” Doctor Seline said and turned to Jace, who gave a grateful nod before walking out.Jace turned Katrina to himself and wrapped her in a comforting embrace, his palm h

    Doctor Nelson walked into the VIP ward where Vivian had just been transferred to. He had just found out that she was moved to another ward and transferred from being his patient.He moved closer, a deep crease cut across his forehead. Another doctor was standing beside the bed, holding the book. “What is going on here?” he demanded.The new doctor turned and gave a faint smile. “Who are you?” she asked.“I’m the doctor in charge of the patient,” Nelson replied sharply.Doctor Seline looked at him with a lifted brow. Before she could speak, the door opened again, and the hospital director walked in, his face screwed up, upset.“Dr. Nelson, I need you out of here,” he demanded and took his hand, but he shoved him off.“I’m not leaving. You have no right to take my patient and give it to another,” he stated.The frown on the director’s face became deeper. “If you don’t leave, I will be forced to call security on you,” he snapped angrily.Nelson looked furious and stunned. He gazed back a

    “Mum? I did a bad thing,” Katrina said quietly, holding Vivian’s hands as she wiped her body with warm water.She lifted her head slowly in guilt toward her, her mouth opening slowly as she wanted to make her confession. “I slept with Jace,” she blurted out and waited.Like Vivian would get up and scold her for what she had done.The door slid open instead, and she turned quickly to it to find Collin standing there. His face was squeezed hard as he was angry. He marched toward her, and she jolted up.“What are you doing here?” she asked quickly before he got closer, her hand stretched out to tell him not to.“So you slept with Jace?” he asked, his voice filled with venom.Katrina swallowed. She knew she owed him no explanation, but she couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt in her. Not because it was Collin, but because she couldn’t bring herself to confess her deed to anyone.“It’s none of your business, really,” she forced out and moved closer to her mum’s bed.Collin stepped closer

    Margot stared at the text she had just typed on her phone, about to be sent to Jennifer. She hesitated, her finger hovering on the screen.She heaved and shut the phone, turning around to see Jace who was about to go out. Her eyes lit up and she approached him.“Jace,” she called.He lifted his head up. “Margot,” he halted in front of her, his hand resting in his pocket. Margot’s eyes flicked to the car key in his other hand.“Are you going out?” she asked.“Yes,” Jace answered slowly. He waited for her to speak, but Margot gulped quietly, gazing at him.“What’s wrong?” he asked, his brow raised, concerned.Margot forced a smile, unable to ask him the question troubling her heart. “Nothing. I heard you started working at the empire. I just want to congratulate you,” she pivoted.“Thank you,” Jace replied and walked past her.She watched him leave and turned back to her phone. She erased the text she intended to send and exhaled deeply before walking further in.---Yasmin exited the e

    Immediately Holly walked out, Ray followed after her, worried that she was upset by Lexi’s little stupid taunt.Holly didn’t stop. She stepped outside to the veranda where many boys and girls were enjoying and sweating from all the fun and drinks. She tried to walk fast through the crowd, knowing that he was right behind her.“Holly,” Ray called, trying to push past the people to get to her, but she walked faster.After passing through the crowd, he finally caught up with her and grabbed her arm, forcing her to stop and turn to him.“Come on, I will drive you home,” he said, but she snatched her arm away with a sneer.“I don’t need you pretending to care for me every time,” she stressed and turned to leave, but he stopped her.“It’s your birthday. Are you going to allow Lexi ruin it?” he asked.Holly turned sharply to him. “Right. It is my birthday,” she said and suddenly looked around, her eyes searching.She moved away from him and approached the house again. Ray watched as she walk
