CHAPTER 57
MORNING, THE WILLIAMS**
“What!! Luca got shot?!” Valentina exclaimed.
They were actually having their breakfast in family.
“Yeah, he took the bullet for me” Iris muttered sadly.
“What?! Why was the shooter aiming at you” Peggy asked worriedly.
Iris shrugged, indicating that she didn’t know why. She continued eating her meal but her mind wasn’t at rest.
The thought of Gavin betrothed to another disturbed her more than she thought. Coupled with the fact that Luca hasn’t yet woken up…
“I’m through with my meal. Mom, Tina… I’ll be leaving for school” Iris said, standing up.
Valentina and Peggy looked at each other before looking at her.
“Okay, be careful” Valentina said.
Iris nodded and then walked out of the house with her backpack hanging on a shoulder.
She wore the cap of her hoodie and then dipped her hands in her pocket before walking away…

RITA CARES**
“I won’t take long…” Riley said to her driver before running in the hospital.
Last night she couldn’t sleep a wink due to how worried she was so she decided to drop by before heading to school.
“Excuse me miss, can I know the room number of Luca Johnston?” Riley asked.
“Sure! It’s room 486, VIP” The nurse read out from the book she had.
“Thanks” Riley bowed politely and rushed to the prescribed direction.
She stopped infront of the room and then peeped in through the window. She saw no one.
“Maybe his mom went back home to get something” Riley thought before turning the door knob and entering.
She stopped on her track when she saw Luca lying on the bed helplessly as the machine beeped slowly with tubes connected on him.
Riley wiped off her tears as she slowly walked then sat down next to him on the stool nearby. She sniffed, trying to fight back her tears.
“I don’t like seeing you this way Luca… Please wake up, all I want is to see you smile…even if I’m not the reason for your smile..please, you have no right to give up” Riley cried and held his hand then kssed the back of his hand.
“I wish I was the one who was there instead of you, I don’t know how I’ll take it if you live me… I love you” Riley cried.
“I just don’t have the courage to tell you that. After all the bad things I’ve done to you and the others, I don’t have the courage to express my feelings for you… I can’t” Riley said lowly.
She brought out something from her pocket, it was a bracelet with a little heart shape on it.
“Here, for you. Before dying my grandpa said I should offer this to my first love…” Riley said, wearing the bracelet on his wrist before kssing it.
She leaned closer to him and then kssed his forehead before slowly placing a soft kss on his lips…
Charlotte who was watching them from the door slowly closed the door and backed it…
She placed her hand on her chest, closing her eyes..
“Why I’m I not sad..? It doesn’t hurt” She wondered.
Slowly, she let out a smile…
“I did it. I’ve finally gotten over you” She smiled.
She looked at them through the window and smiled.
“I hope she’s the one for you. You two look good together” Charlotte muttered.
She smiled before leaving the area…

THORNTON INVESTMENT**
“Mummy!!” Minnie exclaimed and rushed to Valentina’s office.
“My baby, how was school?” Valentina played with her hairs.
“It was cool. We learned lot of cool things…” Minnie smiled.
“Mummy?” Myles smiled walking to her with his hands in his pocket.
“Champion, come here.” Valentina said and hugged him then carries him and placed him on her thigh.
“You’re so cold…” Valentina said, touching his tiny hands.
“It’s because I have a low tolerance to cold. The doctor said that only one thing can help me” Myles said.
“What?” Valentina asked.
“A mummy’s hug and kss” Myles smiled.
“Awn…you’re so cute. Come here” Valentina gushed and hugged him then kssed him on the forehead and on both cheek.
“That’s not fair… I want hugs and ksses too, Myles get down!” Minnie pouted and began pulling Myles leg, trying to pull him down Valentina’s thigh.
“Hey let go!! You spend more time with mummy than me. Have you ever seen me complain?” Myles said, holding Valentina’s neck.
“No… Get down!!” Minnie said
“In your dreams. Go see daddy” Myles stuck out his tongue.
Minnie continued pulling Myles leg while they kept ranting on and on…
“You guys are choking me…” Valentina said.
“It’s a pleasure doing business with you” Ricardo said, escorting his guest out of his office.
“The pleasure is all mine” His client smiled
They paused when they heard noises coming from Valentina’s office. Ricardo looked only to see Minnie and Myles fighting over Valentina.
“I see your family needs you” The client chuckled.
Ricardo sighed and nodded with a smile. His client nodded and then left. Ricardo turned to them before walking up to them
“Time out! Time out! Time out!” Ricardo said, carrying Myles and placing him down.
“Stop fighting over Valentina coz she’s mine” Ricardo said and pecked Valentina on the lips.
“Ewww!!!” The kids chorused.
“When you two want to do that, warn so that we turn away” Myles frowned.
“I’m sure they’ll start acting all cute and sweet” Minnie said.
“Yeah, so boring. Come let’s go get ourselves some drinks” Myles said.
“Yay!!” Minnie exclaimed and they rushed off.
“Kids and attitude” Valentina laughed.
“I don’t understand them. On minute they’re enemies and the next they’re best friends” Ricardo said.
They looked at each other suddenly began laughing…

TWILIGHT HIGH**
“Can’t believe I failed the math quiz” Kimberly whined.
“You just have to work harder, no big deal..” Riley said.
“As for me, I had it all” Iris smiled.
“Brainy” Kimberly said.
“Hey look, that’s Xander or Cancer whatever his name is” Charlotte said.
They loiked front and truly Xander was there. He was removing some books from his locker with an unfriendly look on his face.
“Looks like he got discharged from the hospital” Kimberly said.
He began walking their way and abruptly stopped infront of Iris, glaring at her. Iris stood her ground and glared back at him.
“Because of you, I had a fracture. I’ll get back at you and Gavin, I promise… Starting from you” Xander spatted.
“I wanna see you try that. Bch…” Iris said.
Xander looked at her for a while and smiled before walking away.
“Have a nice day butterfly” He said while leaving.
“This guy… I hate him so much!!!” Kimberly screamed.
“Kim?” Maxwell called, coming to her.
“Talking about guys that I hate…” Kimberly rolled her eyes.
“I wanna show you something, please come with me” Maxwell smiled.
Kimberly rolled her eyes and crossed her hand.
“I don’t wanna see what you have to show me, just buzz off!” Kimberly snorted.
Maxwell sighed and rolled his eyes.
“Must you always be this stubborn, just come. This once” Maxwell frowned
“I thought I made it clear that I…”
Before she could finish her statement, Maxwell heaped her on his shoulder and began walking away.
“Let me go!! Let go!!” Kimberly kept swinging her leg, h!tting his back.
Iris and the rest laughed their à$s out as they watched the scene.
Maxwell walked to the school garden, not caring about the stares they received. He finally dropped her beside a bench.
“Are you ¢razy?? How dare you take me away against my will… That’s kidnapping!!” Kimberly yelled
“Okay, I’m sorry. Now please sit” Maxwell said, sitting down on the bench.
Kimberly glared at him before sitting down, folding her arms.
Maxwell opened his cross bag and then brought out a wrapped up gift before stretching his hand to Kimberly.
Kimberly looked at it before she slowly collected the gift. She tore the wrapper off and then gasped at what she saw.
It was a music box which her father offered her on her 6th anniversary. Sadly, Maxwell took it and broke it in front of her. She had cried day alot while Maxwell was busy laughing at her.
“Here, I got it fixed back. It’s not the only thing in the box” Maxwell smiled…
She brought out a hairpin from the box. It was a gift from her grandmother which Maxwell seized and refused to give her back.
“Let me fix it for you” Maxwell took it and leaned closer to her then began fixing the pin in her hair.
“All done” He smiled and looked at her. Their face were just inches apart and he couldn’t help but stare at her cute face, his gaze landed on her red lips. Kimberly wasn’t spared from staring at him…
“Uhm sorry” Maxwell said, giving her some space before he’ll do something that will earn him a sIap.
“That’s not all.” Maxwell said and brought out something.
He held her hand then slid in a set of bangles in her left arm…
“That’s my gift for you..” Maxwell smiled.
Kimberly stared at it and then smiled.
“Thanks”
“Oh less I forgot, I had my name imprinted in those bangles….so that you’ll not miss me too much when we’re not together.”
“Corky! You’ll never change!!” Kimberly h it his head making him chuckle…
“If I don’t tease and pester you. Who’ll do it?” Maxwell smirked and wiggled his brows before flicking his finger on her forehead.
“Ouch…just you wait” Kimberly stood and began looking for something to shoot him.
Maxwell scurried away while laughing. Kimberly stopped and watched him leaving.
She stared at her wrist and looked back at him with a smile…
“Not bad for a j.erk like you”
