Bryan's POV.I turned around and walked towards her rapidly, and I pinned her to the wall.“If you ever try anything stupid to hurt her, I will make sure to destroy you,” I said, and walked out of the place.I went to her office for the counseling as usual, and I got to the doorstep and I noticed that it was locked, and I wondered why she wasn't in her office, so I decided to check her regular lecture hall.And I wanted to call her, but that was when I realized that I did not have her phone number so I went into the engineering lecture halls, but I still did not find her, then I decided to go to the parking lot, and I noticed her car was still there.“Where can she go?” I asked no one in particular.I decided to look around, and I saw a butterfly brooch on the ground, then I picked it up, “this looks like hers,” I mumbled to myself, then I immediately remembered that she was wearing the exact one the same day.“Why is it here?” I asked myself, trying to figure out what might have happ

Giselle's POV.I left the lecture hall, and went back to my office with my lecturing materials. I sat in my chair and rested my head backwards. I thought of what to have for lunch, but I couldn't think of anything, and the lunchtime was wasted with having nothing to eat.I looked around my office, and remembered how Bryan scolded me because I starved myself, then I decided to find something to eat, but then I heard a knock on my door.“Come in,” I said, and a delivery man came in with a lunchbox.“What can I help you with?” I asked, looking confused.“I'm here to deliver this, ma'am, please sign here,” the delivery man said, and I signed the papers.“And can I know the source?” I asked.“I am not permitted to reveal such information ma'am,” he said, and left my office.I went to the food package, and checked the box, it was from the same , five star restaurant from the other day, and I checked the whole package, and I didn't find any card.I decided not to eat it at first, but I could

Giselle's POV.I wanted to run away, but a strong arm held me back, ‘it was a trap!’ I screamed in my head, but it was late already, and I tried to fight back, but the man was stronger.‘He is the man that had been stalking me since’ I said inwardly, but my body was already shivering in fear.The hallway was too dark that I can barely see his face, “let me go , you bastard,” I screamed, and kicked God knows where, and he was a little bit affected, and I tried to escape with that opportunity, but the stalker pulled my hair, and draw me backward.The fear of the dark, and being rough handled by an unknown man in that mysterious place, “help me,” I screamed for help, but the man pulled my hair harder.“What do you want from me?!” I exclaimed, trying the fight back.“You abandoned me!” The guy said, and I got confused, but I couldn't think of anything because I was scared, and the thing on my mind was to escape, and I bit the guy, he screamed, but he still didn't let me go.And I started

Giselle's POV.'You abandoned me' I remember the words of the stalker, and it made me confused, I never had a past lover, or anything with any man before.It was nice that Bryan got there on time, I would have been dead or something else would have happened, he was really supportive, his cologne made me feel comfortable and it was reassuring being in his embrace, it was like a man protecting his woman, I really wanted to be in his embrace.But I immediately cleared the thought, after remembering that I was married, but my husband was never around whenever I needed him the most, and not even when his mother threw abuses and insults at me, he would only watch me suffer from being belittled, and he didn't even care about my well-being.And only the thought of that made me feel like I married him, and he did not marry me, our marriage life was one-sided and I never felt his attention nor his love the way I wanted.‘What I felt, was it even love?’ I asked inwardly, I rested my head and tri

Little did I know.I took off his shirt, and I tried taking off my clothes, but his hand stopped me, and I looked at him.“Stop,” he said, and I got confused, and scared at the same time. The feeling of rejection hurts, but between couples it hurts more.“Don't you want me,” I asked, and he inhaled some air, trying to focus.“Of course, I want you,” he said.“Then, why are you stopping me?” I asked, and he shook his head.“Giselle, I am tired, I've been working since morning, I need some rest,” he said, and I just felt like I was selfish and inconsiderate, I didn't even think of him.“I'm sorry,” I said, feeling embarrassed, and I turned around to leave, but he hugged me from behind.“Next time,” he said, and I just nodded.His hug was so emotionless, I didn't feel anything and I thought my past feeling was just app

Bryan's POV.I started driving, and after a while I stopped in front of a restaurant, and she gave me a questioning look.“What are you doing here?” She asked, looking confused.“I'm sorry, can I eat before we continue? I haven't eaten anything since morning,” I said, and she nodded at me.But I noticed that she didn't come down, and I went to her. “Why aren't you coming down?” I asked.“I will wait for you here, while you eat, be quick,” she said, and I felt dissatisfied.“I don't want that,” I said, “let's just go in together, and you can also have something to drink, ma'am” I said, and she agreed.She got down and we both entered the restaurant, I called the waiter, and placed my order, “why don't you order something too, ma'am?” I asked, and she shook her head.“I'm not hungr___tonnn,” she was saying, but a sound coming from her stomach interrupted her.“We are having the same thing,” I said, and she felt embarrassed, “you didn't have breakfast too?” I asked, and she smiled faint

Giselle's POV.After my cell phone got repaired , I was so happy, and relieved, and settled the bills, Bryan offered to pay, but I declined, he was just a student I didn't expect him to spend money without a tangible reason, and I couldn’t let him pay for such thing for me, because he was my student.“Thank you, Mr Lopez,” I said, and he nodded at me with a smile, “you are always welcome, ma'am,” he said. “What about we have some tea,” I said pointing at the coffee shop nearby, “it's a coffee shop,” he said, and I nodded at him.“I know, but we can get you something else when we get there,” I said with a smile.We both went to the coffee shop, and we sat at the table close to the window, the breeze was perfect.We didn't know how they run the coffee shop, so we sat and observed, but after some time, I wanted to go to the counter and order, but Bryan stopped me.“I will go,” he said.“No, it's my treat,” I said, and he sat down. “Should I get you cake?” I asked, and he shook his head.

Giselle's POV.I went through hell holding the pain, but I didn't plan on losing the baby. Two days later,“I am sorry, I didn't tell you about Ivy,” he said apologetically. I smiled faintly looking at him. “I didn't know she would be that extreme,” he said, but then I remembered that he came to the scene without being called by Ivy.“How did you know where I was?” I asked with my brows knitted. He stopped talking for a moment before he cleared his throat. “Your anklet,” he pointed to my leg. “What?” I chuckled. “I had a bad feeling and you don't like the idea of bodyguards that was why I installed a tracking device on it,” he explained.I remembered how he made sure I wore the anklet when going out. He got it for me on the day he got me an engagement ring. I didn't realize he was trying to protect me all that time.I smiled at him, I was so happy that he was consistent with his character and he didn't change. “I got there late I am sorry, I should have noticed earlier,” his eyeba

Bad Feeling.Bryan's POV.At the hospital,We got to the hospital emergency room, and she was already receiving treatment. She lost a lot of blood and I was so scared seeing how the treatment took a lot of time.“Who is she to you, Mr Lopez?” The doctor asked. “She's my fiance,” I said with a trembling voice, I knew no good came out of that question. The doctor became silent. “What's wrong, say something doctor!” I panicked.“She inhales a lot of smoke, and she bled too much, the fetus is at risk, and it is dangerous for her health so we might consider an abortion to make her safe,” he said.My jaw dropped hearing that I knew how much Giselle wanted a baby, but knowing I was the cause of all the circumstances I felt horrible.“Is there no other way?” I asked. “There is, but the patient's life will be at risk; she might not make it,” the doctor said.I shook my head unconsciously. “I don't want to lose her,” “Wh____ Dr. Niel!” I wanted to talk, but I was interrupted by a nurse coming

I was tied down on the chair and couldn't move an inch.I didn't know Where I was or how I got there. All I knew was that someone asked for my help and that made me land in an unknown room tied down to a chair.I looked around and I noticed we weren't at the city judging with the sounds.

Ivy's POV.I was shocked to hear about Bryan's proposal to the young lecturer. I knew Bryan's determination can't be altered even by his parents so I didn't plan to approach his mother again since it would not work.I started thinking of a way to stop their engagement or whatever they were planning to do. “What can stop a wedding from happening?” I asked my maid unconsciously.“If the bride decided to show up or the groom, no wedding was held without the couples,” she said, and that rang a bell. 'No wedding holds without the bride' I repeated the words in my head.“What?” I smiled cunningly. “I am sorry, ma'am,” she apologized for absolutely nothing. “This is the first time I will be finding your presence useful, good job,” I said.I decipher the solution to the problem without stress. “Thank you ma'am,” she smiled, and made me feel irritated. “Get out of my sight!” I fired.She scurried out of my room.

I went inside and I saw many choices but I saw a particular diamond ring that was eye-catching. “I want that one,” I chose. I left the mall, and then I decided to go out with the boys because he needed it. I picked up my phone and dialed Kevin's number. He picked up after some time. “Hello,” I said, and I expected Kevin to talk from the other end, but he didn't. “Are you okay?” I asked worriedly. “I am fine,” he said with a weak voice from the other end. “What's wrong with you?” I asked, but then I remembered that such questions didn't benefit such communication methods. “Let's meet up,” I said. “Okay, our bar,” he said from the other end. I ended the call and called Sebastian. “Hey buddy,” he said from the other end. “Hi,” I said. “What's up?”! His voice was low and uncheerful. “How are you?” I asked. “I am feeling great.,” He said, but he didn't sound alright.

Bryan's mother was still looking at me with her deadly glare.I looked away trying my best not to make her angry. I saw Bryan with his father, and I noticed something was suspicious with their behavior, but I ignored it. Took my phone, and I felt disappointed. My parents were never supportive, and I knew that, but that was different.I felt ignored and belittled. My parents were very greedy and selfish. I wished they could realize that I was their daughter too.I foolishly thought I loved Donald and made the sacrifice for my dad, but she later abandoned me after getting me into a business.Even my mother was never there for me. I thought Donald's mother's evil treatment was normal at first since I didn't have the experience of a mother's love.I wanted to have time with my parents and laugh with them, but that could never happen because of the company affairs.I dropped my phone and shrugged

I nodded at her reassuring her that I wouldn't go out of line even though they did.“Giselle!” Donald exclaimed. “Don't you dare call babe with your filthy mouth again!” I roared. “What are you Looking for?” I said.“I am here to speak with my wife,” he said, trying to get under my skin, and it worked because I was ready to hit his face, but I was calm thanks to Giselle.“Donald you signed the divorce paper some days ago I am no longer your wife,” she said. “But the court hasn't notarized it yet,” he said, and I hissed frustratedly.“Donald get out of here,” she said, getting angry, only his name gave me a headache.“Well if you know what is best for you, you will cancel the divorce,” he said, and I couldn't help but scoff at his words. “And why is that?” she sneered at him.“Your father's business is hanging, and his family is not ready to

He must be a genius, I thought, but I was angry that he hid such important information from me.But then the day he confessed his feelings for me, he took me to a game competition, and I noticed he was respected by the workers, but I could never imagine that he owned something that huge.I stared at him blankly. I didn't know if I should get angry or just cheer him up, we were both in a situation that needed to be close, but I couldn't help it. I was distant from him, and that made me sad.I hated the fact that he hid something that huge from people including me. I didn't expect much from him. I was more dumbfounded when I found out about his mother.I went to the company before, and he still dared to pretend. He made a fool out of me, and nobody ever hinted to me about my

I drove to the hospital using the GPS.I got to the hospital and I had difficulty in looking for the ward, but then I saw Bryan's mother walking angrily towards the ward.
