Episode 28
?Ryan’s P. O. V
I walked in just to hear Clara say she loves health records in a burning fire. I wonder what she meant.
” Louisa help her bath and make her walk a bit “, I said
” ok, sure thing sir “, she replied.
I walked into the study to look at those health records I took home Ok Mrs Genevieve’s surgery will be tomorrow, i hope Clara is strong by then.
Mrs Tonia’s P. O. V
Oh the smell of victory opening my eyes to a crowd of investors who are looking at my face just made my day. In the next few minutes Anastasia will be under me. Yes Mr Grande cannot do anything. He is feeling too weak to stand up.
Oh money, shares, houses, I feel gooooood.
The investors whispering to themselves dragged me back to reality.
” but Anna is the biggest share holder in Anastasia Grandes health centers. I mean the group it is obviously hers.” One investor said.
” the hospital has been built from your shares and investment. A. G. H. C. Group should no longer be placed in the hands of a living dead. Anna has not been seen outside for years. What kind of CEO is she.? “, i said
” so what do you advise? ” the next investor asked.
” you board members need to join your shares with mine and lift me to Anna’s position, i deserve to be CEO. that’s why I called for this meeting. Annastasia will die soon so let the voting begins
” but I thought there was hope in Anna’s condition recently “, one of them mentioned.
These crazy men should just vote me in before things get spoiled
” my husband sir Alexandra Grande is in full support of this decision. Anna must be stripped from her position, she is as good as dead. Withdraw your shares and join Tonia.
” but the second biggest shareholder is Isabella Grande the first.
Fools, Isabella is an insane fool.
” Isabella has been missing for years and sir Alexandra Grande is obviously getting weak now. it is our duty to do the best we can “, I added.
” Anna is still the biggest shareholder, You can’t just push her aside. This stupid man added.
‘” Anna is dead, Anna is a living dead, Anna will soon……
Before I could say another word I heard Anna’s voice.
“Tonia, shut up!!. You talk rubbish “, She said as Doctor Tony pushed her wheel chair into the hall
Oh no, what is this?
He pushed Anna closer to her position. It’s obvious she is still in pain, she can’t walk well haha that hyemaclux did a clean job.
” who called for a board meeting without my consent as the owner and only heir of A.G.H.C” she said with her fearless and rude face, she hasn’t changed. Still the same mean little brat. Well thank God some investors already signed to join me earlier.
” well, my lady, it was Mrs Tonia who asked me to bring the board members together. Mr Desmond said
“Excellent! Mr Desmond your right as a board member has been withdrawn and your shares dismissed “, she said sternly
” but, Anna
” don’t call my name casually , Annastasia Alexandra Grande the first. Is not your mate. , You failed the first rule which is loyalty., send him out. “, she said and he walked out.
Tony’s P. O. V
I almost forgot the real Anna, when she means business everybody trembles including her dad.
She is the reason A. G. H. C is still strong and unshaken. Even at her little age of 24. When she means business she becomes a strange woman
I guess growing up closer to her dad caused this. I can feel her aura from this distance. Very powerful.
When it comes to business Anna doesn’t smile, she doesn’t cry, she is always very strong. Even Ryan gets scared of her.
” Mrs Tonia Grande, you called me a living dead, not only that, you held a meeting without my consent, who are you? . Anyways. because of what you did, you will be stripped from your position as MD of A. G. H. C. If you challenge my decision under Labour law I will strip you of your shares in A. G. H. C”, she said vehemently
Mrs Tonia stood up and tried walking out.
” stop, You don’t walk out on me and you won’t walk out until I leave, if you walk out you will be stripped of your right as a board member. “, she said.
Mrs Tonia took two more steps.
” Mrs Tonia Grande is hereby been stripped of her position as a board….. before Anna could finish talking Mrs Tonia sat down.
All the board members looked at anna with fear.
She turned to her assistant.
” give me the list “, She said.
“Yes madam”, Trishti replied and handed the list to her.
” July 28, yesterday to be precise, in a secret meeting some shareholders and board members joined their shares with Tonia . The following names I wIll mention must be stripped of their positions and their sha…..
before she could finish all the men knelt down.
Anna closed her book.
” a second chance has been given by Anastasia Alexandra Grande. Further secret activities will not be taken lightly. She said.
” yes, yes sure we promise. They chorused”, all of them shivered.
” since we are all here the marketing team have a presentation to make. Let’s hear them out “, Mr Charles said.
” this means you approved of a presentation to be made without my approval. “, she said.
” but you are here my lady.
” what if I didn’t come, I obviously wasn’t invited. , Anna said.
” no actually”. He tried talking.
Anna hit her file on the table
” silence!! . Mr Charles must be stripped of his position as a board member. She said.
Her assistant took her file. She pushed her chair back and I pushed her out.
The projector was switched off the meeting ended.
All the shareholders ran out in fear while whispering to one another other.
Anna didn’t talk anymore until I pushed her into her room and locked the door. I helped her sit on her bed. I tried walking out but she dragged me back .
” Tony”, she said and tears streamed down her eyes
I sat beside her and kissed her forehead with both hands on her face then I hugged her.
” Anna it’s alright.
” Tony when will I walk? My legs still pains. I’m lonely, mom is gone and dad couldn’t have watched Mrs Tonia do this, that means something is wrong with dad. Please can you take me away, I don’t feel safe here anymore and I don’t think dad is safe at home. Please.
” will you stay in my house, I mean If you want, the security is tight, I will help you exercise and you will walk again. You will come to work with me every morning and you will take your treatments.
Anna wiped her tears, why is she getting emotional?
” it’s not a big deal we will also check on your dad too. Actually I don’t want to leave you here either, Mrs Tonia is very angry. So you might stay with me until Ryan comes back then you move over to his house.
“Or if you want you can stay in Ryan’s mansion or with Mr Dervantes . If you don’t want to stay at home.”, i said
” I don’t want to go home until I’m strong and that I can walk, if not Mrs Tonia will make me suffer, I know her and now I don’t know how dad is faring, no one will defend me at home, if I go home I am walking into a trap. “, she said.
” it’s ok Anna, no one can hurt you, I’m still here.
” I wish Ryan didn’t leave, i need him so much right now. I don’t know if he will let me stay with you. She said and I wiped her tears.
Why did this statement hurt me right now? What’s going on? I can’t fall for Anna again .
I hugged her.
I am really trying to avoid you but everyday I keep coming closer.
That fearless girl out there is this cry baby in my arms..
Ryan’s P. O. V
But where is Clara? Louisa had already left. Is she sleeping again?
I rushed into my room and there she was smiling to herself and laughing. I traced her eyes and she was laughing at my picture when I was a kid.
I instantly stood in front of my picture.
” Hey! Don’t laugh at me, I shouted.
She just laughed the more.
” cute “, she said..
What a girl! I guess she feels better now but her hair looks greasy.
Clara’s P. O. V
Sir Ryan covering this picture made me laugh. He just looked at my hair. I guess it’s too dirty, Louisa was in a hurry. She was called from the hospital so she didn’t help me.
I hate washing my hair on a normal day so now that I feel lazy, how will I do it? Sir Ryan don’t touch my hairrrrr.
He touched it.
” why is your hair all greasy? He asked.
“well, I applied some treatments I said
” that’s a lie”, he replied.
” well”, i scratched my hair.
He dragged me up from the chair and picked his hair kit.
does he want to use this expensive PW hair set on me. Wow! it’s so expensive.
He dragged me into the shower and I sat down on a chair there. He wrapped the towel around my shoulders.
I wonder why he is caring for me. May be because I am sick.
” bend “, He said.
I bent forward and he poured water on my hair.
I feel like I am dreaming, i can’t believe he is actually touching me. Omg fire pls burn me again if that’s what it takes… I was In a dream land I didn’t know when he was done….
He dried my hair and I sat facing his big mirror…
He took his comb and combed my hair, He applied so many cares. Omg my hair looks awesome.
I kept smiling, I feel so happy sir Ryan washed my hair, who did I save in my other life to deserve this?
Soon he was done applying the treament.
He closed the kit and combed the hair together.
I love the feeling , this is awesome. I hope he’s not doing this because I am sick.
” sir thank you “, i said.
” you jumped into the fire for me. Is this too little? “, he replied
He was done, he combed my hair and packed it up together, it looked pretty.
I want to ask him how he learnt this, I wonder If he will reply me, I am so scared of him, i have not spoken to him casually before.
How do I start.
” uhhmmmm sir Ryan”, I said
” Ryan, call me Ryan”, he said.
I placed my hands on my heart
” Whaaaat!!!! “, I shouted.
” Clara from today you are my friend, thank you for finding the health records, Thank you for saving Anna, thank you for stopping me from taking expired drugs I’m, I’m very grateful. “, he said.
Omg I can’t believe this, he said I’m his friend.
” uhmm sir, sorry Ryan, Ryan, hi my name is Clara and I’m your new friend “, I said smiling.
He smiled so seductive, he finally smiled at me
” miss clumsy, nice meeting you”. He said.
This made me laugh.
” actually I don’t have a friend and I don’t really know how it is done, I don’t know how to talk or act. I will be glad if you teach me how to be a friend”, he said.
Really? Did the almighty Ryan just said that?
” yes sir and you will help me become a proper girl too “, I said.
” deal “, he said laughing.
We both hit our hands together and he laughed. His laughter made me laugh too. it’s so contagious, just like a baby. I never saw him laugh before. I better savour this moment. Actually sir i want to be your girlfriend but that’s not possible so I will enjoy this moment.. oh friendship is good.
I stretched my hands to his fridge and collected his cup of ice cream.
” hey!!! “, he shouted.
“cool down sir, friends share. I said.
He scratched his hair in frustration. And I opened the ice cream.
” hey, Ryan pass me that pizza over there. “, i said
” what!! ,hey!!, do i look like…….. uhhmm of course, what are friends for. “, he said and passed me the pizza..
Omg this is gonna be a fun ride.
” so Clara, you need to do some walking exercises and this house is too boring to walk about so where do you want to go “, he asked me.
Omg where do I want to go? i have been waiting for that question all my life. Oh fire burning I love you so much, my life has changed.
I instantly dragged sir Ryan into my room I opened the door and picked my diary.
I opened the page where I wrote the places I want to go and gave it to him.
He smiled.
Ryan’s P. O. V
I have not been to most of these places too. I had been too busy trying to impress my dad, I rarely had time for myself.
Having a friend is good, i never had a real friend all my life, i can’t believe I will start with this crazy one.
I always wondered the meaning of that word friend, i wonder what friends do..
I read out Clara’s list:
1) I must go to the movies ?
2) I must go to the club ?
Crazy girl.
3) I must go to a karaoke club?
4) I must go snow skating. ?
Hahaha where will we go snow skating.
6) I will go to a very big hotel and relax. ?
” hey clumsy, do you really want to go to all these places, I asked.
” yes, really “, she said.
” well what are you waiting for, let’s go, if we can’t visit them all today we will try again when we have a break. “, I said.
She smiled widely and clapped her hhands together.
” so change, don’t look official, this is an evening outing, don’t look serious either, look great “, I said and she nodded.
I ran into my room. Where I changed, Omg I can’t believe I ran out with her diary… i tore the the page out and slipped it into my pocket .
I dropped the book in my cupboard.
I changed and rushed out to meet Clara, she looked wow, finally Clara is changing
She looks great and simple.
I waved at her. She smiled.
” how do i look”, she asked.
” you look pretty “, i repleid
Clara’s P. O. V
Aaaahh I can’t believe I am going on a date with Ryan. I am so gald.
” let’s go!!”, he said and i walked out faster. I ran after him.
” but Ryan, a friend doesn’t walk like that “, i said.
” really, how? “, He asked.
” LIKE this “, I said and wrapped one of his arms round my shoulders.
He laughed. As he looked at t my face.
I felt butterfiles in my tommy again, so I slowly shifted away from him.
Being friends what If it spins me out of control, i really need to stop loving you.
Both of us entered the car . He started his awkward silence again while he drives.
What kind of friend is this?
” hey, talk to me. I said
” oh hyi” he said, “are you okay?
I smiled I can’t beleive he really doesn’t know what to say to a human being.
I laughed widely and he chuckled.
Soon we arrived at the cinema. I walked out with sir Ryan, i am so happy.
He bought tickets for both of us as we walked inside. He sat and I sat beside him
We both faced the screen then movie started. Hahahahaha this movie is so funny.
I suddenly hit sir Ryan so hard. Hahahahaha this is do funny.
” ouch!! “, he shouted. His face looks so funny.
I laughed more and more. Just then that funny boy jumped into the water again, hahaha I hit Ryan again. So funny. I kept hitting him.
” hey, so do you want to kill me “, he shouted.
” sorry sir.. just then I suddenly hit him again. Omg this movie is so funny.
Sir Ryan shifted to the next sit, a little far from me, my hands can still get him.
?Ryan’s P. O. V
Argh why does Clara keep laughing so much. this movie is not really that funny.
She keeps beating me am so hard. It’s just our first place to be . That means I will be dead before this outing ends.
Just then she hit my shoulders so hard again. Omg even after I shifted.
” hey!!! That’s not funny”, I shouted.
She laughed so hard, what a crazy girl.
I was still trying to recover from the last one when she hit me again
Just then she suddenly hit me again.
” hey, youwill kill me “, I said.
” am sorry sir, It’s just so…… hahahahaha she started laughing again.
And before I could talk again she hit me again,.
Ouch her hand Is so painful.
I have never been to a movie before but the way I am looking at this girl, this one might be my last.
