THE NEXT day, Lucian was released from the hospital. Shirley insists on driving him home, but George and Alicia are as persistent as she is. Shirley had no choice but to yield to them. Before the Caldwells left the parking lot, Latton hurriedly ran to them, “Is it okay if I come with you?” She asked nicely. George and Alicia glanced at each other. George wanted to agree, but Alicia politely declined, “Maybe next time, Latton.” Latton smiled, “Understood,” she mumbled, then glanced at Lucian who was silently looking at the opposite side of the parking lot staring blankly outside, “I’ll visit soon.” She uttered painfully then waved them goodbye. She wanted to follow them, but she felt that Alicia’s protectiveness would work to her advantage. She is well aware that they don’t like Shirley around their son. Knowing that detail, she knew too well that they wouldn’t allow her to visit him. “Should we follow the Caldwell’s car, Miss Ripley?” Igor asked, his thick Russian accent making it
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 186 - Teddy Bear
IN THE Altiplano prison, in Mexico. Henri was lying on the dirty floor of solitary confinement, and could barely open his left eye. His lips were chapped, swollen, bloodied, and wounded, and his whole body ached. Yet, there was a smug look on his face. He slowly sat and leaned on the wall waiting for the prison guard to give him his evening dessert of beatings. As if on cue, he heard the gates open. He prepared himself for them but, to his surprise, he was carried to the prison infirmary where his wounds were treated. He became relentless and couldn’t fathom what was happening. Paranoia got the best of him, “Are you planning to kill me now?” He yelled at the doctor. “No!” The doctor shouted, then inched close to him, “I heard a rich American paid the guards, to make sure you were safe." The doctor glanced around to make sure no one was listening, "Ten times higher than what the politician you offended pays, and that rich American paid me a million dollars to keep you here. You are a
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 187 - Ohio
XAVIER and Latton were singing along to the music 'Numb Little Bug by Em Behold' playing on Latton's phone that was connected to the car's stereo system. - ....Do you ever get a little bit tired of life? Like you're not really happy, but you don't wanna die... - Soon the music was cut off by the ringing of her phone. Xavier scoffed when he saw the caller ID. 'Lucian Caldwell.' Knowing Xavier's hostility towards Lucian, she hesitated about answering the call, but Xavier did it for her. Her phone is still connected to the stereo system. He heard Lucian's words as clear as day, "Why would you send me a teddy bear?" He said in exasperation. Xavier's face distorted in rage and wanted to shout at him. If he could, he would drive to where Lucian was and punch him hard in the face. "The arrogance of this cunt!" He yelled internally. "I told you I need space to think, and I want to be alone," Lucian mumbled in exhaustion. After he said those words Latton wanted to say something, but b
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 188 - Remembering Henri
"WHO are you and why are you in my headquarters?" A boy hollered out while holding a baseball bat. The girl ignored him and continued looking at the drawings in the notebook. "Stop touching my stuff!" He yelled again while tromping his foot, causing the tree house to jolt. His movement caught the girl's attention, and she stared at him. Her eyes were empty, no sorrow, no emotions, just a hollowed set of brown eyes. "Did you draw this? She asks in a weak voice. He nodded, and he let go of his baseball bat and sat beside her. "Amazing." She mumbles. He smiled, "You think that's amazing. Check this one out," he said while handing her another notebook. "It's a comic. I made it. It's about a crime-solving detective like Sherlock Holmes, but mine is French. The name is Hank Devereaux, and he has a dog named Yoda." He explains enthusiastically. She smiled, and he noticed her eyes finally conveyed emotion. His heart was filled with delight. He extended his hand, "I'm Henri. What's you
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 189 - Xavier’s Plan
A WEEK passed, and the Vaughn family: Angeline, Airo, and Lucius moved to the Ripley manor. Meanwhile, Latton and Xavier are still in Ohio. Enjoying the fresh air, the swim in the lake, and horseback riding. "I can feel my skin throbbing," Xavier remarked while riding the horse to the pasture. Latton laughs, "I told you to use sunscreen." She remarks while gaining speed away from him. "Hey! Wait for me." He yelled out. Soon they reach the abundant streams of water where they let the horses rest and drink. Xavier marched to the stream and washed his hands. "We should stay here longer," he remarked while drying his hand with a handkerchief. "Nature is good for you. The silence, tranquility, away from the drama of L.A. What do you think?" She grinned, "I would if I could. I have things to do." She replied while kicking the stones in the ground. He exhaled in disappointment, "Is it about him again?" He inquired bitterly. She nods. "Him. Henri. Our family. I can't just turn my back,
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 190 - Goodbye Ohio
VIVIAN Bloom drove home to the two-bedroom home she shared with John. It’s 8 in the evening and to her surprise, the whole house, including the driveway, is dark. “Is John still at work?” She asks herself while parking her car. She got out and opened the trunk to get the bags of groceries she purchased at the last minute at the nearby Costco and carried them in one go. She opens the main door with difficulty but brushes it off and only lets go of the groceries on the floor while she blindly searches for the light switch. When the light turned on she was stunned and taken aback to see flowers on the floor and John silently waiting for her while kneeling with a 5-carat oval-shaped diamond ring in his hand. Waiting patiently a few feet away from where she’s standing. “What the fuck John?” She yelled instantly. Still kneeling. John clears his throat, “Is that a good type of what the fuck?” He asks awkwardly. “I mean…" He clears his throat, "Vivian Bloom, will you marry me?” He correct
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 191 - Roadside Hooker
TWO in the morning when Latton and Xavier’s private jet landed at Los Angeles International Airport. The moment she set foot on the ground, her phone vibrated uncontrollably. "Who's calling this early in the morning?" She asks herself, then agitatedly looks at her phone and finds that it's Lucian. She glances around since she doesn't want to answer the call with Xavier around. Fortunately, he is on his phone talking to someone. She discreetly answered the call without waiting for her to speak. He blurted out, "Are you back in L.A.? "Yes, the plane just landed." She replied in a low voice. "See you in the parking lot in two minutes." He said in a cold tone. She wants to retort as she can't make excuses in a short time, but he has already ended the call. She was in a dilemma. She knew that Lucian hated waiting and being rejected, but she couldn't just drop everything and run to him, especially when Xavier was around. She stared at the pavement for a moment, then at Xavier, who had
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 192 - Under His Spell (Mature content ahead)
LATTON’s 3 PM meeting with Caldweld Inc.’s admin began and aside from the managers, John, Shirley, and Lucian were also in the conference room. All three of them were surprised to see her. “Latton, what are you doing here?” Shirley asked sarcastically while sitting in John’s designated seat. John glared at her but said nothing and sat near Latton. Meanwhile, Lucian was anticipating her answer. Latton smiled, and she was on her game face, “I’m here as temporary CEO of my mother’s company, the Grand Mist Prix, also known as the Grand Prix.” Shirley narrowed her gaze, “Temporary? It's still a mystery to me. Why aren’t you the CEO of Va-Yor-Ri Unlimited?” Latton smirked, “I don’t think that concerns you.” She replied dominantly while glaring at Lucian. Shirley felt taunted and to annoy Latton, she moved her chair closer to Lucian and started whispering to him. Latton’s right eye started twitching in a rage, and she was about to make a sassy remark, but before she could, Jacob the
