Rachael’s pov conts
” what’s your report on Clara
” we destroyed her father’s shop.
” did you text him
“yes.
“did he get hurt
“no
“ok
” we fired her mum and we already sent the mandate….I was informed that she left Ryan some hours ago she is with her friend now.
” which friend , which kind of friend is that ,male or female?
“female
“is the area safe
“yes
“are you sure
” yes ,one of our security guards is around her
” good…. make sure she returns to New York safely … he has to watch her till she enters the plane ,a single strand of her hair shouldn’t get hurt you should know I might be angry at her but I don’t play with Clara,.. I just want her far away from Ryan .
“ok and about chasing them out of their house ..
” hold that for now
“but I thought you wanted to do everything it takes to chase her out of this city . we are very close ,her mum is jobless,her dad jobless, they don’t have any means in this city so once we chase them from their house Clara and her parents will have no choice but to leave the city just like u want ,she will go far away from ryan and the merger will be secured
“I know but just leave the house for now let them rest,Clara is still on her way and Ryan is not yet back and I am still thinking about some stuffs … I will tell u the next step
“Ok
” get me info on our next step for Chicago
“ok madam but all this files,u need to rest
” I am looking for something… I will just.
she opened another file and wore her glasses. she coughed again with her towel and folded it quickly,wait did I just see blood …is Anna ok.
I watched her open like 10 files at once even a lawyer doesn’t read like this.
I wish Crisella or Ryan would just came back Anna needs someone to talk to ,she is thinking too much her heart is piled up she needs a helper for God’s sake, what kind of lonely life is this now Maybelle is always busy with her therapy /counseling work Anna looks strong and fearless outside but inside she is just pitiable, she is so scared right now ,she’s scared of Ryan breaking off the merger she is obviously shaken up …. this girl is really suffering so much
i wish I was closer to her I will just kneel down and pull her into a deep hug then I will brush her hair and tell her everything will be fine ,your mom will come back,malcom won’t take a.g.h.c from you ,ryan Wont break off the merger,your dad will regain his full health , everything will be fine, u won’t lose anything my child.yes ,just like a mother would…. I looked at her again and she wrapped her towel around her body.from hospital coma to life coma seems u were born to suffer. but I can’t touch you ,you are too mean and strict you will just slap my destiny out of me.
I bowed and walked out.
Anna’s pov
in my next life I will come with a sister who will love me and take care of me I won’t be alone and maybe in that life I will try being a normal person .I remembered what Maybelle said and I chuckled . I closed my eyes and choose my lover.does it matter whom I love what matters is a.g.h.c especially now that Malcolm is back.let me try it anyway. cos I really need an answer to why I didn’t break up with Tony and why I cheated on Ryan
I folded my legs and my hands together and closed my eyes. forget the pleasure ,the sex ,the romance who is in your heart Anna ,who do you really love ,who makes you whole. omg who am I seeing
???????????????
my phone rang and I stood up,i don’t have time for games
“tell me
“Anna something happened
“what
” till you arrive at work
“Ok.
I dropped the call now my heart is beating fast ,what did Malcolm do again…I have not been able to talk to my dad I hope malcom didn’t add more salt.
Next day
Ryan’s p.o.v
I walked down to my door and there the new nurse stood. she looks good .she wore black flats and I white gown.
” hi… am your new assistant sir
I opened the door wide and she walked in. she bowed to me.I ignored her and closed the door.I opened the door to Clara’s room and she walked in.
” don’t ruin the way she organised things
” yes sir
” we have only 6 patients left… we leave early in the morning
” yes sir
” please… if it doesn’t concern business,don’t talk to me and don’t ever come up those stairs.
” yes sir
” we need to leave early so we should complete everything fast … within like 2 to 3 days so please read the health records you can am not in the right state of mind to read
” yes sir
” welcome Clara…. sorry what’s your name .
” its Mira sir .
I dried my tears and rushed out
Anna’s pov
I am so anxious right now ,why did Jake call so late ..but my dad said i should meet him first before work so I headed home.
I walked in and he sat facing his system
he had a bottled water on his side.I looked at his face he looked worried.
” my jewel.
” dad
” Anna what is distracting you my love. is something bothering you.
” no dad everything is fine
“have you seen this
he turned his system to me i looked at the first paragraph it is about the land.
” dad am sorry I don’t know how malcom bought that land
” Anna I am not talking about the first paragraph, I knew when he did that I was just waiting for you to strike back but look at the second paragraph
I looked down Jesus our hospital in India got closed down by government and our workers sent out. our sick patients stranded. what happened ,government might sue us for this ,it is all Malcolm’s. doing
i placed my hands on my mouth
” dad am sorry … I lost focus and made a mistake
” Anna Malcolm has done enough u can’t handle him alone schedule a meeting with me and Grande and also schedule a meeting at work . active board members and departmental heads
” ok Dad , but you are not strong
” i will be fine ,but Anna if you weren’t distracted all this wouldn’t have happened behind your back… what’s going on tell me.. why are you so scared recently u hardly come home.
” nothing dad
” how was your trip to Africa
“it was fine.
” what did Ryan think of the marriage.
” well dad ,he didn’t see anything wrong
“I hope you are not lying to me Anna cos for Malcolm to strike fearlessly like this it means he has information that the merger is shaking .
” it’s not shaking dad ,its fine,Ryan is still with me he is not going anywhere .
” Anastasia!!! ” he hit his hand on the table ,he knows am lying.
I wiped my tears
” dad you were right Ryan , Ryan threatened to break off the merger.
am so scared that i will ruin everything you worked hard for, dad if this merger gets weak malcom will use it against us ,he might take a.g.h.c away cos he has govt power … Ryan is my fear dad, he doesn’t love me anymore he wants to break off the marriage he really wants to ,am scared that I might fail you .
i placed both hands on my face sobbing like a kid… not now that he is sick I can’t fail him now that he needs me to be stronger than ever.
” Anna u know ryan can’t …he shouldn’t. this is not child’s play.. Infact i need to inform his dad
” no don’t dad ,for Claras sake .Mr dervantes will hurt her ,u know he doesn’t have time he will kill her.. Clara has to go far away before Ryan’s Dad finds out about this. dad please dont tell him , it’s under control my marriage to Ryan is my duty to secure.
” Anna better do cos a lot are at stake now . infact , this is not what I wanted for you my jewel , i need you to marry a man that loves you and will give you all the care u missed in your life … u know what?, i will handle malcom and after that I will find a way to separate Ryan from you without causing a war … let’s remove malcom from the picture first so he wont ever come back at you.
” dad
“but,do you still love Ryan,do you want him or not.
” dad i
‘his phone rang
” go to work ,we will talk
“Ok
I rushed out.. oh God everything was getting worse thank God dad is taking charge .. Malcolm is really out for this how dare he remove a.g.h.c from India and all because I got weak and carried away with Ryan’s threat. i moved my hair and wiped my tears for the first time I failed Dad twice
if dad can separate the merger without issues ,if he can solve the problem easily I have a feeling I might let Ryan go.
I might leave him for clara.she saved my life I will never forget that.
I already forgave her for helping Ryan cheat thanks to Ryan’s words I got to understand Clara’s part of the story. and I won’t drag Ryan with her.I don’t know if I love him or not but I won’t mind that anymore I just pray dad and Mr Dervantes can teach Malcolm a lesson and remove him from the picture
at least if my dad is the one to separate the marriage Mr dervantes won’t be mad at Ryan .. my dad might even do it in a way the merger won’t shake.I trust him I will finally take a break while he takes the driver’s seat from me.
maybe I will use that time to do what normal people do , what do normal people do , go to the spa,go swimming ,visit the club, go ice skating ,take dance classes , learn how to cook well, and just have fun and live like a human being not as a robot programmed to do office work . I think maybe I am happy. but i will be happier if dad gets strong and mum comes back. for slapping Clara I wonder If she is still mad at me.
i moved my hair and sat in my car.
