NEXT MORNING>
Luxury opened her eyes, and immediately she felt a wet napkin on her forehead, she sat up, taking it away.
“Fernando?” She called, thinking he’s here, but it was Stacy who came in with a warm cup of coffee.
“Finally you’re awake, you were burning throughout the night and you still don’t look good right now” she said.
Luxury got down from the bed without replying. She started walking into the bathroom.
“You fell hard for him, right?” Stacy said, and she stopped.
“I know the heart is uncontrollable, but babe…. Fernando is just not it” Stacy said, and Kendra came in.
“What do you want Deluxe to think after hearing this?, How could you fall for what jerk?” She said, and Luxury resumed her walk into the bathroom without answering.
“Don’t tell me you’re going in there to bath so you can go to work” Stacy said.
“Today is my last day at the company, and I want to see him” Luxury replied.
“But you’re still not ok yet” Kendra said.
“I don’t care” Luxury replied and entered the bathroom, slamming the door behind herself.
“It’s finished” Stacy said.
“Automatically” Kendra replied.

Wesley was wearing a mask and a cap as he entered the hospital. He asked for Princess’s ward at the reception, introducing himself as her guardian.
He was directed, and when he got there, he smiled at what he’s seeing.
Princess is sitting on the bed, eating from a plate of noodles, but not the former Princess. She has a new face now.
“Wesley” she smiled, and he sat in front of her before hugging her.
“I missed you, and I got tired of waiting, so I came to pick you up myself” he said, and she stylishly broke the hug.
He held her face and kissed her forehead.
“You even look more beautiful” he said, and she smiled cheekily.
“Thanks”
“I love you so much” he said and brushed her hair with his fingers before hugging her.
“When are we going back tomorrow Los Angeles?” She asked.
“Anytime you want” he replied, and she blinked once.

“I already told you to stop questioning everything I do, else I’ll have to expose all your deeds to your son!” Marcus shouted as he came out of the room with Benita.
They had another fight again.
“Then would you he happy if I tell your story to everyone in Los Angeles too?, You get plastic surgery every year just to look younger and everyone still thinks of you as a young fella when you’re even older than me!” She replied, and he grabbed her by the throat.
“Mar…Mar..cus!” She groaned as water came out of her eyes forcefully.
“Shut it, or I’ll just ki|| you” he said and pushed her violently. She fell on her bum, and he left the house.
Benita held her hurting throat as she stood and hurried back into her room.

“I’m fine, I just didn’t get enough sleep” she lied.
“Are you sure?, Your lips look pale like you’re really sick, and your eyeballs are slightly red” Mrs Williams said.
“She said she’s fine, stop being overly concerned” Mr Moore said, and they both relented as Luxury took her seat.
She was feeling so weak and sickly, but she just had to come so she could see him.
Immediately she sat, Fernando came in with Tyler. Georgia is not with him this time.
“Goodmorning boss!” They all said at a time.
Fernando didn’t reply before entering his office.
“He must still be so bothered about the sales that came down” Chelsea said.
Marcus entered the office afterwards, and they all greeted as he walked into his office too.
“That jerk” Chelsea said.
Luxury’s eyes started turning on their own as she sat, and she started seeing double of everything.
She started feeling cold too, and her head started pounding with headache.
Her telephone suddenly rang, it’s from Fernando’s office.
“Hello…sir?”
“Bring me the results from yesterday, right now” he ordered, and she dropped the call immediately.
She stood and got the results documents, then she rushed into his office.
Fernando’s eyes were glued to his laptop as we dropped them on his table. He didn’t look up for once.
She kept standing, looking at him and expecting him to talk, but it didn’t happen.
She felt weaker and weaker as he stood, and her legs started shaking on the ground.
“Fernando” she called, but he pretended not to hear. He kept doing what he’s doing.
“Nando” she called again. Same result.
She was almost in tears as she turned and started leaving, and her legs started missing steps.
She was staggering as she walked. Her eyes felt so hot and heavy in their sockets.
Fernando stood and started walking to her, but just a step away from her, she lost consciousness and started going down.
His eyes widened, and he took the remaining step as fast as lightening.
She fell into his arms, and her tears finally trickled out of her eyes.
“Luxury!” He called fearfully.
“I love you like mad, Fernando Moritz” she mumbled almost inaudibly before closing her eyes, passing out completely.
