Giselle's POV.

I grunt lazily as my alarm rang, and I turned it off angrily. “The night is too short,” I said lazily, then I turned to look beside me, I noticed that the pillow was too organized, then I knew Donald didn't sleep beside me that night. “Did he have an urgent meeting again?” I asked no one in particular, but I shrugged it off, because it wasn't the first time such a thing would happen .

I got down from the bed, and went to the bathroom. I started to prepare for work, and I didn't pack too much lecture materials because of the meeting I was going to attend. I picked a dark beige suit, with an ivory blouse. I straightened my hair, and used light make-up, with a cherry lip gloss, and I stood up from the dressing table.

And I slipped into my beige trouser, I got dressed. I took my ivory purse, and a high heel pump. I finished dressing, then I picked my overcoat and I left the bedroom. I went downstairs, hoping to have breakfast before going to work, but when I heard my mother

I saw the message that was sent to the lecturers about the general meeting, and I tossed my phone aside, but then I remembered that Giselle would attend the meeting as well, and also it was a general meeting, so teachers from her previous school would have to join.Then, I hurriedly picked up my phone, and called Mark. “Hello boss,” he Said. “The stalker, send me his photos, and I need you to hack into the school billboard online,” I said, and ended the call. I sighed heavily , and thought of a way to distract so she wouldn't go.“That stalker will be there,” I mumbled angrily.*****I parked in my parking space, and waited for Giselle as usual. But not long after I sighted her car coming in, I smiled because she noticed me as well. She got down from the car and what I saw made me spaced out. She

    Bryan's POV.Sebastian stopped talking, and I became curious about his next words. “What is it?” I asked impatiently. “Hmm.. when she passed out I ___” he was saying, but got interrupted by the lecturer that came in. “Later,” he said hurriedly, and I nodded at him.I brought out my course material, and we started the lecture, but the whole class was distracted because of some crazy entrance. I hissed irritatedly at the class.“She's so shameless,” Seb said, and I shook my head. “Miss Carson, you are late,” the lecturer said, and she halted her steps. She turned around and faced the lecturer. “Yes sir, it won't happen again,” she said, and the lecturer told her to sit.But she left all the empty seats and sat behind me as usual. The lecture continued, but then I heard a whisper behind me. “Do you miss me?” Ivy asked, and I ignored it. But she didn't stop. “I know you do, but I wo___ excuse me, Sir,” she was saying, but I interrupted her by calling the lecturer's attention. “What is it

    Giselle's POV.“What have you done?!” I exclaimed, when I saw the attention that was directed to us. I looked at Bryan, and frowned, forming a line on my forehead.“We have arrived at your destination ma'am,” he said teasingly. I already hate the fact that the car is loud on its own, but dropping it off in front of the hall where there are many lecturers? That was crazy. If I get down from such an extravagant car as a new lecturer how was I supposed to explain myself, and with the way I was dressed in expensive brand clothes, they would not take me seriously as a lecturer. Even though my husband was rich I wouldn't have wasted effort and money to buy such a loud and expensive car.“Mr Lopez, what are you doing?” I asked, and he shrugged his shoulders. “Giving you the entrance you deserve,” he said, and I scoffed at his words. “Entrance? I don't need such a thing, let's just drive back,” I said .“Miss Giselle, people are waiting to see the face inside the car, don't keep them waiting

I looked at the woman's direction and I smiled awkwardly. “Did she look angry?” I asked Mrs Cruz. “Isn't it obvious? You just stepped on her pride,” she said, and I squeezed my face.“What can I do to appeal to her?” I asked, and she shrugged her shoulders. “You don't know?” I asked, and she spaced out trying to recall something, so I waited until she talked.“I think the only things that attract her are expensive materials, like bags, shoes, and glasses,” she said, and I nodded at her. “Is that all?” I asked because I didn't think such things could appeal to someone that crazy.“Yeah, that's all I could think of,” she said slowly. Then I thought of something else. “Do you know anything about her? Like her family, or husband?” I asked, and she looked at me weirdly.“What do you want to do with that?” She asked, and smiled at her. “What are you up to Mrs Albert?” Sh

    Giselle's POV.The familiar smell hit my nose, and I shifted in fear, and I was sweating profusely. My breathing turned erratic, as the memory of that unfortunate evening flooded my mind, and my eyes got misty with tears. ‘'It’s him!’ I screamed in my head. I wanted to look sideways but I did not have the courage to do that. I kept my eyes on the screen, and pretended like I was okay.“Are you okay?” Mrs Cruz asked, and I nodded at her. “Are you sure? You are sweating profusely,” she said worriedly. And I shook my head. “It is the heat,” I said awkwardly. “Take this,” the man who was just beside me said, taking out a portable electric fan and his hoarse voice made me shiver in fear, and that convinced me that he was the stalker from the other day. “Huh? I'm fine,” I said, avoiding making eye contact with him. “Mr Clark, you are here,” Mrs Cruz said, and I froze for a while. Then it made sense when the stalker said that I abandoned him. So, Mr. Clark from my previous place of work,

Then , a man in his sixties approached me with a smile.“Good afternoon Mr Edward,” I said, because I recognized him right away. “How have you been?” He asked, and I smiled politely.“Fine,” I said. “What brought you here? Are you here to see me?” he asked, and I shook my head. “No, I have business with someone here, that's why I'm here,” I said politely, and he nodded at me.“How is your father?” He asked. “He is fine as well,” I said, and he smiled. “My regards to him, it has been a long time since we caught up,” he said, trying to make me fix an appointment for him.“Yes, he would also love to play golf with you sometime,” I said, and he smiled at me.

I picked it, wondering why she called.“Hello,” I said, and waited for the person from the other end to talk. “Mrs Albert, are you home already?” She asked from the other end, and I was surprised to hear such a question from her. “No, not yet,” I said. “That's great, your attention will be needed here, they need lecturers from your school,” she said from the other end, and I squeezed my face. “Is it necessary?” I asked. “I think, yes,” she said slowly from the other end.“Okay, I will be there soon,” I said, and ended the call. “Mr Lopez, can you please go back to the hall,” I said, and he made a U-turn without

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
