Those half assed bitches.What were they doing eavesdropping on me and my conversation? Not they think I'm a despicable woman. All I wanted to do was see what my husband had for I and my daughter and remove whatever he had left behind for that stupid and greedy girl...She's not even part of our family anymore yet it feels like I see her everywhere. I mean, I just want some peace to myself and for my family.Is that too much to ask...Sharon kept muttering to herself as she dropped her tray and stomped away to meet the elevator as it was about to close.She looks back the three eating like nothing just happened, except Holly who's eyes met hers right before the elevator closed.What's that bitch also doing there? I heard she died from that accident...The accident served her right. Always pretending to be the richest one and the wealthiest. I really could not stand all her bragging with fancy bags and then the man she married too. That's what made me the angriest..."Ma'am, are you ok
"How do you know Sharon?" Holly asks Ford after the elevator doors close.Jean also looks at Ford, curiously. The way they greeted each other was strange and mysterious."I know her in different ways actually. First, Alexa, her daughter is married to my brother...""Ah, Henry? I didn't know that. Where is he now by the way? We didn't hear much about him after the accident." Jean comments."He's here, in this hospital. Top floor.""What happened to him?" Holly asks, unaware of anything since she was in a coma when all of the situations and issues happened so she would have be filled in on many things.Jean looks at him, unsure if she should tell her. "It's fine Jean. She would understand better if she knew."Jean smiles warmly at Ford. "They were both in an accident but by some fate, Ford escaped pretty much okay, while Henry... Well, he became paralyzed from his neck to his toe."Holly looks at Ford. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know.""It's fine.""So you're saying Sharon's daughter, Ale
In the elevator going upstairs, Ford is urged to ask Holly about how her daughter had gone missing and the circumstances around it as a whole.Holly sighed."I'm sorry. You don't have to answer.""No. I want to."Jean comfortingly lays a hand on Holly's as she starts to tell the story."Like I told you, I and my friends lost contact not long after high school so I was really excited to meet them again when I saw a reunion party invite. It was a nice opportunity to meet them all again, not only those two but the entire year so I went, taking Sue along. She was three then.""You took her to a party at three?""Don't blame me. Mum wasn't around, I have forgotten where she had gone off to and the nanny wasn't available either and you know it'll be weirder if I left her alone at home at three..."Ford nods, agreeing."...well, I took her with me, and it'll be a nice opportunity to introduce my pretty daughter to them all. Anyway, I got to the party to meet or not to meet? All in all, the s
"Did you do it? Did she die? God I hate that woman..." Gail shouts into the phone, pacing around restlessly."I hit her and it was very bad. There's a slim chance of survival.""That's good then. You'll get the rest of your payment before the end of the day.""My balance has increased. It's now twenty thousand dollars." The hired assassin speaks passively from where he parked the car, hiding until all the ruckus dies down."I already paid you fifteen thousand dollars upfront. It was thirty thousand total. Why is the remaining balance now twenty thousand? It remains fifteen thousand.""It used to be a total of thirty thousand when I didn't know who I was dealing with. Do you know how much hacking I've had to do in the last four hours? If I were an amateur, I'd have been caught by now but I'm still evading them.""You knew already and that was the total balance before. I'm not paying extra for anything." Gail states adamantly but still restless."If you don't pay me my money, I'll revea
Ford drops the phone and drives away from the hospital. It's already nighttime and he just dropped the call from Marshall, telling him where they had the perpetrators of Sue's supposed accident.He drives for a little bit and then stops in front of a large abandoned warehouse that used to belong to the Mason's till its use was discontinued. He opens the door and enters, his anger rising with each step he takes.When he steps into the light, he sees Marshall standing stiffly on one side and two people tied up to wooden chairs. A man and a woman respectively.He first ignores Gail who's whimpering and asking for help and approaches the man. He tilts his head up and looks into bruised face.Obviously, Marshall had had to beat him up to get him tied up and he wasn't looking very remorseful."So you're the supposed professional who was sent to kill her right?""Fuck you. Did she die? I mean, I hit her pretty hard and she flew..." He starts with a sneering smile.Ford straightens and with a
The gates are opened and Ford, still in the act of being a perfect gentleman, helps Alexa to exit the car without hitting her head on the door frame even though she wouldn't have without his help.Playing coy, he walks back to the driver's side and intends to leave but Alexa stops him."Thank you for dropping me off, I really appreciate it."Ford fakely. "Sure, anything for you my in law." He jokes."Uhm, I hope you don't mind but you could you come inside for a glass of water or even a cup of coffee?"Ford shook his head in the negative. He knew very clearly that that offer was what he actually needed and what made him drive Alexa all the way from the hospital to her home was to actually find out the information he needed.But he needed to play coy to not seem desperate or suspicious."No thank you. I have business in the hospital. I just felt it was nice to come drop you." He offered and then made to start the car again."Oh come on. Even after I rejected your offer of dropping me a
In the hospital, Sue groans.Holly asleep on the bed, holding Sue's hand jerks awake."Sue?"She presses the button above Sue's bed and the doctor and nurses come inside in less than two minutes.They check Sue's movements, finger and toes, eyes and every other thing. Holly was starting to get impatient and was pacing the room."Ah" She grabs her phone and dials."She's awake.""I'll be right there!" Ford practically yelled into the phone. The screech of tires can be heard in the background of the call as Holly ends it.She dials another number. This time, her mum. "Mum, Sue's awake.""Really? I'll be right over."Holly drops her phone and smiles widely.The doctor is done and says a few things that sound like spells to the nurses who nods."She's conscious. Thank goodness but you lot have to be careful. Don't let her move too much so some of the stiches won't come off.""We promise. She'll be treated like an egg.""I trust you but not that man..." Holly frowns slightly. "What man?"
They exchange looks at the question."Well, a lot happened actually. Get back to the bed and we'll talk. You're not to leave your bed yet." Jean pushes her slightly back to her bed and adjusts her pillow as she lays her head down."Okay now I'm ready to hear.""What's the rush? You need a little more rest.""I feel well rested. I mean, I've rested for almost twenty four no?"They exchange another look and smile. "Almost twenty fours?""Don't tease her, come on."Ford walks to her and sits on the edge of the bed with Ashley in his laps. "You've been there for four days.""Ei. Stop pulling a prank on me. Is this your revenge for what I pulled? I already apologized, come on." Sue laughs and then stops. "You're not kidding.""Yes, I'm not so yes, a lot happened while you were in bed.""Now I really want to know. Stop being so secretive and let it out.""Okay. We'll let Holly tell you... Come on Holly.""By the way, congratulations. I noticed you were already walking the other time but I w
