Bryan's POV.

I looked at them all irritated and hissed. “If this happens again, just know that y'all must be ready to be stepped on,” I said, and I turned around, but I remembered something then I turned to them back. “I am not saying that I forgive for this one, I hate to own people, I despise debt,” I said, and they all looked stressed, because they knew that their father must not find out that they made such a mistake and after their business.

I helped Seb to the clinic even though he didn't want to, but I persuaded him.

“I'm sorry,” I said, and he shook his head. He couldn't talk because he was embarrassed and holding his tears, but looking at his eyes filled with water I knew he would cry soon. “It's okay to cry, but none of it was your fault, you don't deserve this, you are smart, and kind, I am so sorry for putting you into this trouble,” I said.

And why should I have business with bullies?” I asked angrily. And Damien was getting annoyed, but the two were calming him down like I wasn't looking at them.

I think he knew nothing, did I overreact?“She told me nothing, I haven't been able to speak with her lately,” he said. And I swallowed nervously. “Is there anything I should know?” He asked. I widened my eyes, because I knew that telling him might put me in a tight spot. 'I can't tell him,' I thought. “No, there's no problem, I-I'm just stressed,” I said, walking towards the bed.“Are you sure?” He asked, and he was looking at me weirdly, which I found uncomfortable. “Yeah, I-I am sure just stressed,” I said, and he nodded at me. “Okay then,” he said, and he said wanted to leave the room, but I stopped him.“Wait,” I said, and he turned around. “What is it?” He asked. “W-What if, I mean if your mother asks you to grant her a w-wish , will you do it?” I asked nervously, and he looked confused.“My mother?

I went to my bedroom to check my car key, because I've been having issues with it. I always toss it around, and I didn't want to waste my time searching for it after bathing. I searched the whole room, but it was still nowhere to be found, so I decided to use another car to school. I wanted to go to the bathroom, but my phone was ringing, so I turned around and went to pick it up. I checked the caller ID and it was a restricted number. It wasn't a familiar contact, but I picked it up.“Hello,” I heard a thick voice say from the other end, and I couldn't remember hearing the voice before, so I didn't say anything.“Hey little boy,” the man said frustratedly from the other end. “Go straight to the p

    Giselle's POV.I left my office and walked to the coffee and pastries shop near the school. I enjoyed the cool breeze while walking and I envied students that were going into the school with their friends and with a smile on their faces. I wished I could travel back to time, I would really make use of it diligently. I sighed heavily on the street, regretting most of my decisions, ‘but I've lived well, where did it go wrong?’ I thought.I entered the coffee shop, and went to place my order. I sat near the window, I had a cream cheese puff, apricot and vanilla puff, and croissants with a cup latte because I was so hungry, I didn't realize that I was eating so much until I noticed that the attendant gaze was on me.I finished eating and left the coffee and pastries shop, I walked back to school while checking my wrist watch.

Seb was feeling uncomfortable with the gaze, and I noticed that. He didn't like too much attention on him especially when it involved bad comments.“Shall we go to the cafeteria?” I asked, and he nodded at me, because it was lunchtime already. “Ignore me all you want Bryan, you come back to me crawling,” she said, drawing more attention to us, but I acted like I didn't hear, and we left the lecture hall.“She is acting up again,” Seb said, trying not to offend me, and I smiled. “You don't have to be careful around me,” I said, and he looked at me. “I don't even like her,” I added. “She is really crazy, she's too clingy,” Seb said angrily, thinking he was angry because Ivy was disturbing me, but when realization hit me I kn

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

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 ended the call and called Sebastian. “Hey buddy,” he said from the other end. “Hi,” I said. “What's up?”!
