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. I didn't want to be late to the lecture hall. I was going to lecture so I fastened my pace, and when I got to school, I met the person that irritated me the most
Bryan's POV.We sat inside the class after the first lecture hour, and we were waiting for the next lecturer to come in. “Thanks for yesterday bro,” Seb said, and I smiled, seeing that he looks more different. “You are always welcome, next time don't keep such things to yourself, you should tell someone around you, okay?” I said, and he nodded at me with a smile. “You should have rested a bit more at home,” I said, and Seb smiled. “I can't afford to miss another class,” he said, and I punched him playfully. “You are too serious, am I sure I make the right friend?” I asked playfully and we both laughed. “Of course not, I am the one that made the wrong decision, I should not be friends with a popular student,” he said, and I got confused. “What do you mean?” I asked, and he smiled.“Because my quiet life will become noisy in some ways,” he said jokingly. “That's exactly what I want, you should ditch class a few times too, there are many things you should do,” I said, and he smiled. “An
Bryan's POV.We finished the class and I heard my name, but didn't bother looking at my back, because I knew who the voice belonged to immediately I heard it.“Bryan, you can't ignore me forever,” Ivy said, and I ignored her whole existence inside the lecture hall. 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
Bryan's POV.“What's up bro, you are not answering my question,” he said, after he noticed that I spaced out.“No, I'm just amazed, like you know those things that j don't even know, I'm surprised,” I said, and he smiled.“You have a lot to know about me,” he said, and smiled faintly. “You don't like attention, but you work at a bar, and you know these things when I've never seen you with a friend before, tell me the secret dude,” I said, and he smiled.“Okay,” he said. “You still don't know the reason for my anxiety?” He asked, and I got confused. “What are you trying to say?” I asked confusedly. “Later, I will tell you everything soon,” he said, and patted my shoulder. “Okay,” I said, and we stood up. We walked out of the lecture hall, and I headed towards Giselle's office, but Seb stopped me. “Where are you going?” He asked, and I smiled playfully. “What do you mean? Go home I have something to take care of here,” I said, and he looked at me suspiciously. “Your new girlfriend?”
Giselle's POV.I went back to my office after the lecture and I couldn't get the scene from earlier off my mind. I did not understand why the girl would behave like that, I sense fear in behavior, but what could I do? She did not want to be saved. I thought, but I couldn't ignore the situation. I never imagined that such things could happen in my school. I was down, and couldn't stop thinking about the girl's mental health.“How can they bully their mate? Do they have a conscience?” I asked no one in particular.“That is unfair,” I mumbled to myself.Even though she pretended like she was strong, I didn't think that was the case, she was just scared. I started feeling a headache, so I picked my bag and took out my medication. I stood up from my chair to the water dispenser. I took my medication, and rested my head on my desk for a while. I couldn't even know how to take care of myself, but I was worried about someone else's problem, I couldn't believe myself. I sighed heavily and I s
Giselle's POV.The guy's gaze was crazy; it was like he could kill them any time soon. He went closer to the girls, and he looked down looking at the girl sitting on the floor. He looked pitiful, but the expression faded away within a few seconds. I could sense more than sympathy in that scene, but the guy's expression was perfect that he hid his feelings well.“Stand up,” he said, referring to the girl on the floor, but she didn't move an inch, she didn't even raise her head, and it seems like the boy was pissed off.“Stand on your feet, Audrey!” He yelled at her, and that made her jerked up. “What? How dare you? I didn't tell you to stand!” The blonde girl yelled. Audrey wanted to kneel, but she was stopped by the boy.“What! Are you choosing a scholarship student over me? Kevin, I dare you,” the blonde girl said angrily, and he smirked. scholarship student? what did she mean by that' I thought.“Cindy, I thought you were only struggling with your grades, but I didn't know you were
Sebastian's POV.After I left the school, I went to the apartment Bryan gave me, it was one of the most expensive apartments nearby, even after I persuaded him to let me pay for rent because I did not want to be a burden to him, not when we just became friends, and he agreed, but he told me that the rent money will be used to stack my refrigerator, and I knew that was another way of him rejecting it. He was so stubborn that I couldn't reject it anymore, I was able to sleep in a room with a good condition thanks to him, that was when I knew the meaning of a home, I woke up with a smile on my face even though I was feeling a lot if pain, I still had a lot of energy. I had spent all my life sleeping at a bar after work since I was fifteen, despite my age I begged my boss to let me work there and none of the workers knew that I slept at the bar until I got caught at eighteen and that almost got me fired, but my boss was considerate enough to let me stay after the situation.I worked hard
Sebastian’s POV.Claire went to a table and sat down. She kept looking around impatiently, and I mustered up some courage to go to the table before she got frustrated, because she wasn't looking well and it felt like she had no choice but to show up.“Good evening,” I said, and she didn't answer, she looked at me like someone who has lost their way. “Hi,” I said, and she hissed in frustration. “I'm waiting for someone,” she said.“Oh okay, so can I keep you company till that person arrives?” I asked, but she did not reply, so I took her silence as a ‘Yes’.I sat down looking at her in the eyes, and she frowned, forming a line on her forehead, then I smiled. “What would you like to have?” I asked her, and she rolled her eyeballs.“Something strong,” she said, and I nodded at her. I knew what she was up to, she wanted to clear her thoughts with alcohol.“Okay then,” I said. I raised my hands and called the bartender ‘James’ . I ordered some beers for the two of us.I cleared my throat,
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
Giselle's POV.I was supposed to be at the civil affairs bureau to divorce Donald, but I woke up and met myself at a strange place, and a strange position.I was startled to death when I realized that I was kidnapped. The girl I always see around Bryan was sitting in front of me with a proud face, and an evil smirk.I didn't know what to do. I couldn't run, or struggle. 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. 'She is crazy!’ I didn't know someone was crazy for Bryan, he never mentioned anything about his ex lovers before and that caught me off guard.She was busy explaining how She and Bryan were lovers and claiming that they were still in love.I knew Bryan would never do such a thing to me, and not when I actually know him.I got tired,
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 hissed irritatedly thinking of a way to execute the plan, but then I remembered
Bryans pov I left the mansion and went to a jewelry store. “Good morning sir,” the manager said to me. 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.
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.“What are you doing here again?” I yelled at Donald who was busy standing by the door. “Calm down Bryan,” Giselle pleaded with me. 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
Giselle's POV.His parents were shocked by the news and they left angrily. I couldn't believe my ears…'Game companies?’ I mulled it over in my head. I wondered how he started because he was still young and naive. 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
Ivy's POV.I heard the news about what happened at Lopez's ancestral mansion. It wasn't on the news but I had my ways.I decided to play a sympathetic role and wanted to visit the young lecturer at the hospital to mock her.I was so happy that she got sick, I knew that would be a great opportunity to get close to Bryan.I promised myself to use the time wisely. I texted Henry to get himself prepared because I wanted to celebrate my new achievement with him. I missed his touch so much. I set out and drove out of the parking lot. 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. I ran after her. “Good morning, ma'am,” I greeted politely. “What are you doing here?” She asked. “I-I…came here to collect my father's medical report,” I said, giving her a questioning look as well. “I can't hide from you since you gave me the tip,” she said. “Follow me if you have time,
