Now let's meet the kress family
(^O^)❤NARRATOR'S POV❤
Ambassador Hugo's villa always has a tense atmosphere, why??? 🔜
Hugo was going out on another business trip, which Cecilia was against, they both ensue in a heated argument.
Hugo dropped his feet from the last stair and turned to the stairs,"can you hear yourself? "
"Is it a crime for a wife to ask for just one thing from her husband? You just got back 3 days ago and now you are going, I want to have my husband. okay if at least for yourself, you are growing and this stress will tell on your health", 'Cecilia replied walking down the stairs'
"
Am growing old right? "
"No, I don't mean it that way", 'Cecilia blurted out in frustration'
"Of course, that is what you are insinuating... Threw his hands in the air, am growing old, that's true... But why? Why do I have to keep reminding myself that and not my children telling me that? Why? ", Hugo mean voice spoke"
"Hugo? ", 'Cecilia returned not believing her ears'
" And now you want me in here with you? Locked up like a dead cell? That won't work"...was about to walk away then he did as if he remembered something,"one more thing", waving his fore finger in the air, "am getting married".
" I saw that in the morning broadcast ", 'responded nonchalantly'
"Does....me taking in a second wife breaks your ego?", eyes her quizically.
"No, not at all", tries to hide her insincerity.
" Hmm... You look so puzzled", glares deeply at her.
Finally walked down the stairs, "I don't care, am sorry if that was rude but I swore into this same eyes am looking at now to always be a supportive wife and a strong woman, I have got a duty to fulfill.. Am with you", 'she spoke starring at him awkwardly'
"Now you are saying those words I have been longing to hear from you, I just needed your permission",flicked his fingers,"what a loving wife", playfully pinches her cheek.
Cecilia looked into the air, rolls her tongue in her mouth holding back the tears fighting to fall...."Be on your way, so you won't miss your flight"
"That's my darling wife!!!", 'Hugo lovingly said as he hugged and pecked her after which he was escorted out by his guards'
Cecilia falls to the ground, covered her hand with her mouth to prevent her from screaming... "What the hell came over me? How could I have said all that? A supportive wife? A new wife?.... Nooo",screams.."noooooo, my husband loves me, he won't do that right, he won't....."
Cecilia screamed as she cried with an heartbreaking pain.
😭😭😭
*********************************
(^O^)❤NARRATOR'S POV❤
Thalia was lying on the hospital bed with a bandage on her left shoulder, while Chris stood by the door, eyeing her in an unnoticeable manner.
(^O^)❤THALIA'S POV❤
"U can sit, we are in here alone"
"I ll remain like this", 'he replied, staring across the bed'
Why the hell was he staring if he wasn't expecting me to tell him to sit?
"why we're you starring?", I said in an attempt to frustrate him.
"I beg your pardon", i guess my words hit him unexpectedly.
" I caught you starring at me, weren't you expecting me to tell you to sit? "
"Of course not, boss", he replied in frustration.
Disgusted, " Boss!, boss here, boss there, can't you be more casual when we are alone, you are making me feel horrible"
"Am sorry boss", he said bowing a bit, I just wish he could understand how horrible he makes me feel anytime he calls me boss.
"There he goes again. Okay sit... I can remember firing you from work"
Oh my goodness, did he just ignore my statement?
"It's an order, sit", I almost just raise my voice, oh am so frustrated.
Thank goodness he is finally sitting, I wish I could read his mind to know how much he is cursing me in that emotionless heart of his.
"Do you feel pain? ", I hope that wasn't too weird of a question to ask.
"what?", 'he replied almost immediately'.
He is just not getting it, I turned over to face him,"like if u have a cut a cut, does it sting?"
" yea",he whispered and I could really feel the awkwardness in his voice.
"Do you feel happy and sometimes sad, stuffs like anger, frustration and all others". He must think am weird, right?
" A lot", 'he whispered again'
This is getting so frustrating, am asking him questions and he is whispering to himself, I don't think I can help it anymore, am about to explode.
" I don't get it"
I almost forgot I just got shot and tried lifting my hand, I felt the sudden sting and screamed, "ouch".
'are you okay?", 'he ran over and asked'
Chris ran over to me with a concerned look on his face, am so sure he is worried.. More of this will make him weak and admit his feelings for me.
"why do you care? Am okay.... ", I jerked his hand that reached out for my arm away.
He just gave an I don't care look and went back to sit "just needed to be sure that you are fine cos I will have to take responsibility for anything that happen to you..."
I am not in the mood to buy his lie so I didn't wait for him to finish his statement, "Don't you feel love?", I held on to my hurting hand trying to relieve the pain I was feeling.
"what? ", 'he replied almost immediately'
I just caught him off guard so I tried to reduce the seriousness in my voice to lessen the tension that was building up in the room. " I mean love, hate and you know..".
"maybe", 'he awkwardly replied'
I just shook my head with an hmmm and tried as much as possible not to make direct contact with his glazing eyeballs.
"can I ask you a question?", I heard his voice break the unknown silence.
" yeah., go ahead"
"Is lady Beth your biological mother? I mean isn't Diego your half brother?", 'he asked'
Did he just ask that?, I tried to take a look at him to be sure I heard the right thing. " That sounds too out of line "
"It's okay, if answering it will stress you out then never mind", 'he spoke pitifully'.
" Its the first question you have ever willingly asked, I ll aanwser.... Mum isn't my biological mother, my mother died when I was 6 months old and since then lady Beth has always treated me like the perfect daughter she doesn't have", I gave him that answer and erased the thought that was building up within me.
"Oh! Am sorry about that"
"It's okay, at least the pain of losing a mother I don't know isn't up to the pain of loving someone who doesn't even see it and all he cares about is his duty".
"Am sorry"
"You should be", I angrily said within myself
"I need to explain something to you "
I guess he is going with the flow, he just said that and a million butterflies fluttered in my belly soothing every nerve in me like he was about to confess his love.
"I... ", 'he began'
The door opens leading Diego and Milana in.
What a wrong timing, he should not have come now, I looked up and forced a smile at his smiling face...
" And why are you sitting? ", 'Diego inquired from Chris'
Chris is always so rude to Diego, I wonder what is going on between them, he just gave Diego a devilish smirk and Diego isn't doing anything to break his nose, I smell a rat.
Diego just kept looking around like he kept something in here.
"The atmosphere in here is so tense",: he finally blurted out, looking like we killed and hid someone in there.
Few minutes later
(^O^)❤NARRATOR'S POV❤
Chris just excused himself out of Thalia's ward to use the gent and some minutes later Diego excused himself to make a phone call, unfortunately the foes Crossed paths at the hallway.
Diego never liked Chris for a second and the moment he sniffed an unusual closeness growing between Chris and Thalia, he has started planning how to take Chris out his sister's life.
(^O^)❤CHRIS POV❤
I was on my way back from the gents and saw Diego on a call, walking towards me from a distance, I don't want anything to do with him so I decided to ignore him but he is just not getting it, he ended his phone call and walked back to me when I passed beside him and ignored him.
"what again? think of the devil and he appears.", 'I blurted out angrily'
Fixed his phone in his pocket,"what did you say?"
"you weren't so smart to hear that", I pushed my nose in an attempt to prevent myself from smiling.
" And who do you think you are to adress me in that manner", 'he said angrily'
" I really don't need to be anybody to fix snoops like you in the appropriate place, if you don't mind, why did you stop me? "
" you can take your leave.... No wait", 'he said waving out his hand horizontally
Why is he acting like he is confused?, he seems so frustrated though and I still find it difficult to know fathom the main problem he has with me.
"why are you always around Thalia?, you are supposed to be her bodyguard and not... "
" And not what? You just said it, am supposed to be her bodyguard, her personal bodyguard ", I fixed my gaze at him.
" I know that ,flicking his fingers why was the atmosphere so tense in there the other time"points his finger in a random direction
"we were having a discussion"
"I know, what was it about? ", trying to hide his defeat.
"Are you trying to infringe in Thalia's privacy?'
" of course not, she wouldn't have a private discussion with you", waves his head.
"why not?"
It was a very busy hospital, so they almost didn't notice when Milana surfaced.
"Thalia and I have been waiting in there while you both were... "
"it's nothing", Diego said to avoid her Inqusitiveness
"if you don't mind, I ll take my leave", said and excused the duo.
Milana must have caught on, cos she kept staring at both of us...
