Cruise from hell Chapter 37 – Codependency
[Third person POV] “Sir, the madam is bleeding, I think the baby is in danger,” after the words hit his ear, he couldn’t explain the dread he felt at that moment, this was all too familiar. He had witness many a time when he would be called about his wife bleeding, and it all ended the same way, with news of the death of their baby. It was always the same, it was always the same, it was supposed to be different this time. There were only two months remain for her to be full-term. ‘Who needs kids anyway?’ a quote he had learned to tell himself each time he had to watch his wife go through this. He remembers the first time he met Clover, through his fiery secretary who kept trying to set him up with everyone and he would always pay Fiona extra just to avoid getting set up. And one day he had met a woman who made him beg Fiona to at least set him up. ‘She is married,’ Fiona said, but Fiona’s tone alone made him believe that he could win Clover’s heart. He just had to be persistent.
Cruise from hell Chapter 38 – Falling out of love
[Fiona’s POV]Heath was clearly annoyed by me jumping to go to the hospital, which was a surprise to me as he had always seemed to enjoy supporting me.Guess it is different now, with the scar and this new crisis in my life. I guess the love drug is wearing off now.“We have arrived,” I heard Heath’s unimpressed voice chime.“You can stay here. It is clear you don’t want to be here,” I said, and before he could even protest, I was already out of the car.I found Gian in the hallway. I didn’t even have to search for him, but surprisingly, he didn’t look distraught, he must be numb to this already, he had gone through this enough to not care about it anymore.“Gian?” I called out, his face lit up immediately when he saw me.“Oh…. Fiona, thank heavens you are here,” he says, “please go to Clover, she needs you, she is not listening to anyone.”“I understand Gian, she just lost…...”“Oh… No, she didn’t lose the baby,” he says happily, “she was saved, she was born prematurely.”I can see t
Cruise from hell Chapter 39 – The second Husband
[Third Person POV] After arriving at the empty house, Heath calls his security team to start monitoring Fiona from Gian’s house, since she will be living there for the time being. He hated it, everything happening just seemed to annoy him alone and he hated how no one seemed to notice what he had been noticing, and worse of all, Fiona was getting angry at him. He sighed, maybe he should relay his message in a better way. Communication was never his strongest trait. The people who raised him had deprived him of a healthy way to communicate as they showed their emotions through hurting each other. “What should I do now?” he said out loud. He felt like he was losing Fiona. In fact, it is not a feeling, it is actually a reality. He was sure he was behaving a bit childish, but couldn’t Fiona just listen to him more. ‘Then again, I am not even telling her what is bothering me,’ he says to himself. ‘I should talk to her.’ His night was quite unsettled, he couldn’t sleep a wink, he kn
Cruise from hell Chapter 40 – Heart to heart.
[FIONA’S POV]Heath Duncan has been the only thing on my mind these past few days, Love. Was it love I felt for this man, but what kind of love was it?I have loved before, but never have I loved enough to not want to let go of anyone. Every time I had loved, when I was mistreated, I had always left.But now I felt hesitant to leave him, when he informed me about Esther being here and out to get me, he sounded caring, loving. When his actions prior were not caring at all.And now he is always acting strangely, being angry out of nowhere and being interested in what I was interested in, like usual.“Miss Lennon, the meeting will start soon,” Jennie tells me. Jennie would always take-over for me when I was filling in for Gian.“I will be with you,” I told her. I planned to call back at Gian’s house to find out how Heath was doing. His state this morning terrified me.Yes, our fight the previous day wa
Cruise from hell Chapter 41 – Godmother
[Third person POV]When Heath and Fiona arrive at the hospital, they find Gian and Clover ready for them. It seemed they had already had a talk amongst themselves.“Hey guys,” Fiona says walking to Clover’s side, “how have you been? I could come check on you today. It was busy.”“It is okay, Selby came, she brought me the tasty sushi I like so much,” Clover says, “I missed it since I couldn’t eat it during the pregnancy.”“That is very thoughtful of her.” Fiona says awkwardly, “is anything the matter?”“How have you wound been? I was so engrossed with my baby I didn’t ask,” Clover says.“I am managing, it gets sore here and there, but it is getting better,” Fiona explains.Heath’s face had lit up, it seemed they had finally noticed that his worries were not just him crying wolf.“I talked to Jennie, she
Cruise from hell Chapter 42 – Prince Lewis’s welcome
[Fiona’s POV] “Okay Lucas, what brings you here?” I asked him, he nervously sat on the couch across from me. I had moved back to Heath’s place after the talk with Gian and Clover, though I would see Lucas now and then when he visited Heath or when he drove Selby, to come and see me, he was kind of distant. “Um…. So… I have been thinking,” he speaks, “it might seem too quick or maybe I am rushing things, but I feel like this is the right time.” “The right time for me?” “I want to ask Selby to marry me,” he says. I feel mixed emotions. Marriage? Now? He might be right about this too suddenly. “But…. Lucas, you haven’t introduced her to your family yet and you haven’t met her family either,” I reasoned. “Oh…. I am going to meet her parents next month. I plan to ask her father for her hand in marriage,” he said so confidently. I looked at him bewildered, “ask Selby’s father for her hand in marriage the first time you met him?” I asked. He nodded confused as to why I was surpris
Cruise from hell Chapter 43 – The Green wall.
[Heath’s POV] The tall elderly man was surely intimidating, not only his voice but his build as well; an elderly man with a sweet smile. “Dad,” I heard Fiona chime. I am completely confused by this. Fiona’s parents had passed on, so why is she calling that man dad? She quickly runs to hug the couple, who embraces her back warmly, “I miss you so much, how have you been?” “Huh…... miss us? Don’t lie child, you could have visited if you missed us,” the elderly man said, earning a smack on his head from his wife. “Robert, don’t talk to a child like that, in your old age you still act childish,” the lady says, “don’t mind him child, you know what your father is like.” “I understand mom, this grinch doesn’t want to let go of his ways,” she teases. This confuses me even further. Did she lie about her parents dying? “And who is this fine young man,” the lady says, moving closer to me and Lewis. “Oh…. Um…. Mom, this is my boyfriend Heath,” Fiona says shyly. “Heath, these are Sleby’s p
Cruise from hell Chapter 44 – Marriage?
[Fiona’s POV] I wake up late in the afternoon, with the day to myself. I have woken up once to see Heath go to work, go back to sleep, and wake up again in the afternoon. It felt a bit good to not stress about work for the first two weeks, but it feels so depressing to stay home and do nothing. I hear a soft knock on the door which is followed by another loud and aggressive knock. I can deduce who is at the door already because I hear Mrs. Green say. “Selby don’t knock like that, poor Fiona must be resting,” she scolds in that soft and loving tone. “Mom, welcome,” with a warm hug, we greeted each other. “Wait till I tell you what dad did,” Selby says angrily. “What did he do?” I asked. I ushered them in as I caught up with what had been happening while I was asleep. “Come on stop exaggerating, your father would never do that,” Mrs. Green says, “he is probably getting to know them.” “He kidnapped them mom. How would you explain him buying a gun first thing this morning?” “I a
