Chapter: Chapter Twenty ThreeKayla's POV I sprinted out of there like my life depended on it, turning in directions I wasn't even sure was the right way and once I heard Kyle's voice pleading with me to come back I ran even harder, if that was possible and I was immensely glad once I saw the same door through which I walked into this nightmare.Not wasting any time I opened the door and left still running while getting funny looks from some bystanders but at this point I could care less. I was about to turn towards the direction of my house until my brain clicked and I turned the other way.I did not know if I was still bring followed by Kyle and if I was I know the first place he'd check would be my house and I couldn't risk him finding me so once I saw a cafe nearby I entered and sat down.Once I was seated a waitress came to me asking what I wanted, but I was not with my purse so I could not order anything, so I told her that

Chapter: Chapter Twenty TwoKayla's POVGlaring at the phone I move away from it like it was a bomb that was about to blow. I watched it ring until the line went dead. I sigh in relief but that was soon cut shut when I hear my ring tone once again with that name I dangerously detested flashing on the screen.Realizing that I could not hold on for so long for it might be related to work, who knows, so I grabbed the phone quickly answering it before putting it towards my ear listening to a series of command from a slurring Mr Liam, which was very weird because the way he talked made it seem like he had been drinking but ever since I've known him I have barely seen him hold anything slightly alcoholic so him sounding really tipsy made me a bit worried.Slightly alarmed and maybe frightened at what could keep him in such a state I quickly grabbed my phone and left not forgetting to lock the doors.Boarding a taxi I reach the a

Chapter: Chapter Twenty OneLiam's POVTurning I squint my eyes trying to get rid of the blinding light icing from the Windows. Standing I head to the bathroom performing my morning routine before driving all the way yo the hospital to see how my mom was faring.When I left her yesterday night or actually early hours of this morning to come have a good sleep on a good bed, she was doing well and according to the doctor if she kept it up she could be discharged earlier.On arriving the hospital I head straight to her designated room bit I could not find her there. I rushed in to check the bathroom but she wasn't there either. Alarmed I rush towards the doctors office but unfortunately he wasn't there and I was told by a nurse that he was attending to a critical condition and that he could not leave at the moment.Inquiring from the nurse the reason why my mum wasn't in the room where she was supposed to be. I was told that my mom

Chapter: Chapter TwentyKayla's POVI can't believe him right now. How dare him tell me to leave. He may not have said it audibly but his actions clearly spoke louder. I can't even phantom why he dislikes me so much, I haven't even done anything outrageously wrong to him so why does my existence bother him so.Huffing I once again flail my hands in the air trying to get a cab at this ungodly hour of the night. Sighing again at my failed attempt at getting a taxi.I tried ordering an uber too but no one could come as a result of the brewing storm. Shivering I watch as yet another car passes me by. I might as well as go back inside but my fear for his wrath makes me put out my arm flailing once more and luckily this time the car pulled over. Not wasting anytime I enter into the car shivering again due to the biting wind.Telling him my address he wastes no time in driving probably hoping to get home before the

Chapter: Chapter NineteenLiam's POVToday was undeniably the worst day of my life. I felt like the world was closing in on me and my life was slowly losing meaning. My mum was currently laying in the hospital ward,her life slowly vanishing right before my eyes with the doctors not knowing whether she was going to live or not. I was beyond scared and the doctors telling me to calm down was doing nothing to alleviate my worry but only made me more worrisome. I couldn't help but blame my self for what is happening right now. If only I had stayed with her and had not gone to attend some stupid meeting choosing my business over my mum's health. I should have stayed with her, should have attended church with her and stayed with her to make sure she ate well and took her drugs. It's all my fault that she is in such critical condition. I promised her that I will take good care of her, treat her well and give her all she ever wanted but I failed. I fa

Chapter: Chapter EighteenKayla's POVI am so late due to no one else but me but if you ask me it's not my fault that in hopes of getting a good sleep I put off my phone and turned off my alarm but unfortunately this resulted me in having to rush off to work,miss breakfast and having to stand here face downwards being reprimanded and cautioned by Mr Liam.In my defence I didn't know that there would be an emergency meeting,shaking my head I look up to see Mr Liam,face set in a glare looking at his phone, at this moment I feel bad for the phone due to the intensity of the stare on it. Still looking at him I notice his expressions changing from that of annoyance and frustration to thatof shock and fear.My guess is that Kyle noticed his expressions because he rushed towards him,still looking at them I notice that they converse for a while before the both sprinted out of the room leaving me and the rest of the staffs shocked
