I took a deep breath before I anxiously turned the doorknob of Alex's office. However, I was surprised at the sight when I opened the door.
"A-Alex?" I uttered as my eyes roamed around the room. Mr. Scott, John, and Mr. Adams were also there. They were smiling at me as I stepped into the room.
"Surprised!" Mr. Scott exclaimed.
"What's going on here?" I asked as I furrowed my forehead.
"Guess what? We successfully proved that the renewal of the insurance should take effect even in the absence of the Renewal Advice." Mr. Scott explained while Alex walked towards me and held me on the waist.
My grandfather fell into a coma. I didn't know what happened. My parents just told me that he didn't wake up that morning. That's why they immediately brought him to the hospital.Hence, I rushed to the hospital. He was already in the intensive care unit (ICU) when I arrived.I couldn't believe my eyes. He was lying on the bed with several apparatus on his body. We just talked the other night, and he seemed well at that time. How come that he was now in a coma?"Mom, what happened?" I asked worriedly."According to the doctor, he suffered from a stroke while sleeping. It resulted in a coma due to the significant impact on his brain. The doctors are still checking
I was certain that grandpa had his reasons why he transferred part of his shares to me and not to my dad. But what's his reason? Sigh. I regretted that I didn't insist on knowing. He was about to say it that night when we had talked. However, it's too late now. I signed the Share Transfer Agreement as I thought that it's a simple document and had nothing to do with me. Moreover, I trusted my dad and Jenna. Little did I know that my own father was plotting against me. I swallowed dryly. Then, I took a d
My heart was pounding tremendously in my chest as I slowly raised my head. I breathed a sigh of relief when Alex finally moved and spoke."Are you okay?" He asked in a soft voice.I gazed at his steely blue eyes as I gently nodded my head. Tears burned my eyes, still frightened of what happened. Thank goodness that he's safe. I thought he got shot since he shielded me when I heard the gunshots."I-I'm s-scared," I mumbled in a trembling voice."Don't be scared. I'm here to protect you." Alex uttered as he wiped
When I woke up, I was already lying on the bed in a strange room. I looked around and saw Alex. He was talking on the phone on the balcony. It was already dark outside, so I checked the time. It's ten in the evening already. After a while, Alex ended the call and came back to the room. I sat down on the bed as Alex approached me. "You're awake. How are you feeling?" He asked with a bright smile on his lips. "What happened?" I questioned. "You fainted earlier." He answered, but his smile didn't vanish from his lips.
Nine months later. I was preparing for my prenatal check-up when I heard a knock on the door. I glanced at myself in the mirror first and got my bag before I walked out of my room. My tummy was now as big as a round watermelon. Anytime, I would give birth to my baby boy. I was so excited. Everything was ready, from his tiny clothes to his bed. I smiled as I opened the door. It was Arnold. He used to accompany me whenever I would go to my OB since I reached the third trimester of my pregnancy. Although I refused several times, he told me that it's better if I have someone with me, especially now that I would give birth anytime.
"Grandpa?" I uttered. Tears stung my eyes. I couldn't believe that he was smiling brightly in front of me. My heart was filled with mixed emotions. I lowered my body and hugged my grandfather. After a while, I raised my head. I glanced at Alex and then back to my grandfather. I had so many questions in my mind that I couldn't manage to ask. My grandfather gently wiped my tears. "Don't cry, my princess. You just gave birth to my great-grandchild." He mumbled in his wavering voice. "I missed you, grandpa. I'm glad that you're fine. I'm so sorry if I left you." I mumbled as I held his hands.
Hannah's POV I stared at my beautiful face in the mirror. My colleagues always praise my beauty. They admired my almond-shaped amber eyes with especially long and thick eyelashes, while Emily, my best friend, liked my tall, delicate nose matched with my natural pinkish lips. However, there was an explicit sorrow in my eyes as I looked at the white gown I was wearing. Right at this moment, I was trying on the bridal gown that I would wear for my wedding next week. I would marry Robert Shaw, my long-time suitor, even though it was against my will. He's the son of the gambling lord in the city and known as an asshole. I was not able to pay my father's debt to his father, so I was forced to marry him.
The next moment, I woke up with a bad headache. I realized that I was not in my room. The wall was painted white. It was almost bare with only a cabinet and a small table beside the bed where I was lying. Suddenly, a scene flashed in my mind. My heart beat fast as I recalled what happened last night. "Am I dead?" I asked myself as I touched my body and felt every part of it. "No, I'm still alive," I uttered. Then, I looked around the unfamiliar room. A few seconds later, the door opened. A man i
