A Paradise Called Us 66-Ian is the key
He couldn't help but feel bad even though he had hurt her on purpose."Hey," his ex girlfriend, Amelia brought him back from the world of thoughts "What are you thinking about? Are you not happy to see me again?"As the waiter left to bring their orders, Amelia held Ian's hands in hers. She was the woman who turned Ian from a thoughtful and loving person to a cold and heartless one. While he was deeply in love with her, she was seeing someone else and eventually got caught.She fled the country for grad school, leaving Ian with the explanation that he misunderstood the whole situation. The person he had seen her with was her ex who wanted her back and nothing more.She was now back two years later from her grad school and wanted to see Ian. Since their families are great friends, Ian did not have the heart to say no. However, the real truth is that he missed her all those years and did not waste a second agreeing to the offer.He relaxed in his chair, drawing his hands away from her gr
A Paradise Called Us 67- Throw her out
Kevin was restless.Since Karen told him that she would be staying with her best friend and would not come home tonight, he felt down.As he sat on his bed after dinner, he fidgeted with his phone looking for the courage to call her. However in the end, he finally tossed the phone aside.She had refused to disclose what his father discussed with her. Although Kevin did not know what that man said, it made Karen mad. He had never seen her to scared and unsure of herself.Her facial expression said it all. Now that he thought about it, did she decide to stay away because of that and not because Sam was sick?Kevin picked up his phone and called Ian."Hey," greeted his voice from the other end."Is your girlfriend sick?" Kevin immediately dropped the question."My girlfriend?"Impatient, Kevin explained "Karen's friend, the one I saw you with the other day!""Oh," Ian's voice was suddenly low, "I don't know. Plus, she's.. she's not my girlfriend anymore."Kevin couldn't believe his ears,

It was then Amelia recognized Kevin. She walked over to him and threw her arms around him. Back then, Kevin was also cold and indifferent but she had a way of poking him."It's you, Kevin! Do you remember me?" she withdrew from the hug. "It's Amelia! Ian's girlfriend! I am back from my study abroad!"After seeing Karen's angry look, he pushed Amelia off him."This is a conference room, Amy," he said as he got up on his feet "Wait for us in my office.""No!" she disagreed and took the empty chair beside Ian "I will wait here."She wasn't about to leave Ian with that woman who had her eyes on her all this while."Then you must not cause any disturbance!" Kevin said "If you do, I'll have to throw you out!""Oh, Kevin.. you're still indifferent after all these years! But I promise not to cause any commotion."After she said this, Kevin settled down and the presentation began. Karen took the front of the room and with the aid of the projector which Sam controlled from her chair, she was abl

Karen couldn't help but cry whenever she remembers her incoming death. It was just nine months left and soon she wouldn't get to see Kevin again.Unable to control her emotions, she wrapped her hands around him and hugged him. Kevin hugged her too."You're trembling, are you okay?" he said as he held her and stared at her face.Karen nodded."Let's take a walk," he said as he entwined their hands together, "It's snowing and you'll love it."Once they were outside, Kevin turned to her."You didn't wear a coat," "It's not that co-" Karen started to speak however Kevin had pulled off his coat and placed it on her. Nearing the garage, Sam waved at Karen and got into the car suggesting that she will be leaving without her. Kevin and Karen walked past the garage and began their walk.* * *Ian shut his office door with a thud as he let go off Amelia's wrist. She turned to him, hurt by his reaction."I can't believe you dragged me all the way from there, just because of that-""This is

"Kord!" Mrs Kord sprang up to her feet, red with rage "Why do you always create rifts?!"Mr Kord stared at her and said calmly, "Don't interrupt me."He turned to both his sons, "The first of you to give me a son will have a greater share in my will.""You're not sick! You're healthy and strong, why are you suddenly talking of death? Why do you want to create a will now?!" Mrs Kord whined but Mr Kord was not in the mood to argue.Having said his piece, he rose up on his feet and said before leaving, "Enjoy your dinner."Marie was not satisfied. She left the dinner table and followed Mr Kord up the stairs. At her departure, the dinner table suddenly turned quiet and no one was eating anymore.Karen would have given anything in the world to protect Kevin from his father's cruel ways however, this is impossible.She didn't think Kevin would want to have a baby with her. Besides, she was not sure if her condition will let her carry a baby successfully. Meanwhile, there was Selene. Just th

"Get your hands off me!" Elliot pushed Kevin off of him "We were here together! After dinner she went up the stairs, how could I have kidnapped her?"Mrs Kord added, "Don't act rash, Kevin. I don't think Elliot kidnapped her. The guards already showed us the footage. Since you walked into the mansion with Karen, no one has left the house.""The guards have searched everywhere for her, mom! She's not in the house!"Mrs Kord turned to the guards standing behind her, "Did you check the bathrooms??"They paused as if uncertain.Kevin snapped his head towards their direction. As if understanding their silence, he did not wait for their reply and immediately took to the stairs.Mrs Kord yelled after him, "Slow down, you'll miss your step!"However, Kevin was already out of sight. Selene thought aloud,"Since the footage showed she didn't leave the house then she must be in the bath and Kevin," she paused and continued "And Kevin just went up there."Her eyes widened realizing that he might
A Paradise Called Us 72- That familiar voice
Sam did not feel okay. She was far from fine and couldn't stop thinking of Ian and that woman. Since she called herself his girlfriend and he did not object, he played her for a fool. If he had a girlfriend studying abroad why did he get into a relationship with her?! Sam blamed herself, she fell easily for his charms! Ignoring her mother's calls, she stepped out of the house so late at night and strolled through the snowing streets of Willow-ridge. It was still lively with people enjoying the snow and others going home from work. Sam did not have an idea where she was heading. She just walked down the lane and admired a young couple watching their kids play in the snow. She stopped under a tree for a moment and smiled at the family while thinking about her own ruined life. Her father was nowhere to be found. Her mother had raised her all on her own. It was the reason Sam found it hard to love men. Since she came of age, she saw them as hypocrite, liars and didn't regard them as h
A Paradise Called Us 73- This is wrong
Sam refused to go with the bearded man. Since she was drunk, her rejection was quick and sharp angering the man and hurting his pride. He tried to pick her up and force her into his car but Sam was fighting back.When she took a blow to the belly, all her strength was sapped out of her. The man picked her up and placed her on his shoulder but was stopped by a voice Sam thought was familiar."Let her go," Ian ordered firmly.The man turned to him and frowned, "Who do you think you are? I found her first, go get yours." Before Ian could reply, the man turned and began to walk away.Suddenly, a hand grabbed him and a punch landed on his face. Ian caught hold of Sam before she hit the ground and hurried out of the bar to his car where he dumped a drunk Sam and started the car.He hit the accelerator when the doors of the bar flew open and the men piled out seeking to beat him up however he fled.Out of danger zone, he stared at Sam who was murmuring something under her breath."What do yo
