Giselle's POV.

I was preparing to leave the hospital and Bryan's parents were still around. 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

    Bryan's POV I alighted from the car and headed to my lecture hall. This past week has been really tough for me personally. As usual, a lot of girls were ogling at me as I walked past them to my lecture hall. I began hearing a distant voice, calling out to me. “Bryan!” I looked behind and saw Ivy, my ex girlfriend, running towards my direction. I groaned and didn't wait for her, I began walking at a fast pace but she still met up with me. “Bryan,” she whined as she held my wrists and I gladly yanked my hand away from hers. “Can you just stop?!” I snapped at her, clearly displeased at her nagging. “No!

Baby, I'm sorry,” she tried getting close to me but I pushed her away slightly. “Ivy, please stop this. This relationship isn't working anymore, for the sake of both of us.

Just this morning, where my husband was congratulating me for my new promotion as the new lecturer in one of the most prestigious universities in Australia. She came down out of her room to give me a choking load of insults, calling me a barren. And my ‘always busy' husband, as usual, sat down there and didn't do anything to stand up for me. I have been to their school before, so I know where my office was. My body was full of rage and I needed to vent my anger, but I do not know the direction. I was still striding to my office when I heard a voice behind me. “Hello, good morning ma'am,” I turned to my side and saw a young guy. From his dressing, he looks to be a student as he carries his school bag on his left shoulder. He looks cute no doubt, but I wasn't really in the mood for all these. “Morning,” I res

Looking at her, standing on the podium and yet, I can't go to her and express my feelings. I rubbed my forehead, running my fingers through my hair in frustration. I have been trying to have a conversation with her but she is always making excuses, more like she was avoiding me. Someone tapped my shoulder and I turned to see Ivy. I was about to look away from her when I saw her pointing at the board. Nope, she was pointing at Mrs. Albert. “I asked you a question, Mr. Lopez,” she said, standing behind the pulpit. I scratched the back of my head, looking at Ivy if she could give me a clue of what the question was. She only kept gazing at me with a worried expression and I s
