And I could hear noises from the other end, so I was curious about her whereabouts, “Mom, where are you?” I asked.“I am on the expressway,” she said from the other end, and I wondered why.“Expressway? But why?” I asked, and she explained.“Okay Mom,” I said. “Don't get into trouble, and don't miss class,” she said from the other end, and smiled, because I memorized the line already.“I won't mom,” I said, and she ended the call.

Never, it’s definitely not from me,” I hurriedly said.And she was convinced by my claims, “okay then,” she said. “So, should I come after lecture hours?” I asked, and she nodded at me. “Why don't you go to your lecture hall now? You don't want to miss class,” she said, and I smiled. 'She's just like my mom, how can I stop loving her?' I thought.“Okay, I will go now, and don't forget to eat lunch,” I said, and left her office.I went to my lecture hall, the lecturer was already inside the hall, and I quietly went to my seat.

So, all the students left the class, and left the department after we finished all the lectures.It was time to go to Giselle's office, but I needed to search online for places, but I couldn't find what will suit Giselle taste, I couldn't ask her because it was meant to be a surprise, I wanted to pick a place before going to her office, but then a scenery caught my attention, ‘wow what a beautiful scenery’ I said inwardly. And the place was a popular place for adults. The place is cool so I thought Giselle would love it. I didn't know how to help her chase her fear, but I could use a beautiful scene to ease her mind.I made an emergency reservation for the entry, and smiled. “I hope she agrees,” I muttered.

I finished the lecture after 2 hours, and headed to my office, but on my way, I saw the situation in Bryan's class, and I wondered what happened, but it was not my place to interrupt. So I passed by, but I heard some words while passing by, ‘lover quarrel' I said inwardly, but I felt a little uncomfortable and sad, but I didn't know why. “It's their problem,” I mumbled, “but I thought he said he was single,” I muttered angrily. I got to my office, and sat down. And I couldn't get the words out of my head, which I didn't know why. “Giselle, get a hold of yourself!” I said to myself. I wanted to attend some of the assignments the students submitted, but a sound interrupted me, “grrrrrrrrrr” my phone rang, and I picked up, and the caller ID was Donald.

Giselle's POV.“That means we can be friends,” Mr Wilson said. And I shook my head. This man seriously doesn't have self respect, I insulted him badly earlier, and he still wanted to be friends with me?“Just because I said we are cool, doesn't mean I want to be friends with you,” I said, and he smirked. “You're a feisty type, I like you,” he said, checking out like he lost some screw in his head.“I want us to be a good friend, who knows you might actually later like me,” he said with confidence, and I scoffed at his words. ‘He is not worth cleaning my husband's shoes’ I thought. “You must be unaware of this information, but I will tell you now, I am married,” I said, and his facial expression was still the same. I was surprised at how shameless he was.“So? It doesn't matter, we can just be each other's companions, and we will take care of each other's affairs,” he said, and I looked at him unbelievably. 'He is out of his mind!’ he said. And I became angry, “leave my office,” I sai

But she didn't reply, “my nephew's wife gave birth today, and my youngest sister became a grandmother today,” she said angrily.“Congratulations to them,” I said, and she looked at me with anger, “are you out of your mind?!” She flared up. “What have I done ma'am?” I asked. “What have you done?

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

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

'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 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.
