Giselle's POV.“Who is this?” I wondered.Seeing the strange number made me nervous thinking it was another psychopath, I waited until it finished ringing. Then I climbed the bed, and wanted to rest until my phone rang again. I jerked up when the loud sound echoed in the room. “Did I really use this as my ringing tone?” I asked myself, referring to the song.I picked my phone, and checked the caller ID, and it was unknown. “Unknown caller? Again?” I asked myself silently. I could not avoid it again, so I mustered up some courage and picked it up.I waited until the person from the other group talked. “Hello,” a deep voice from the other said , and I felt like the voice was familiar, but I did not want to believe it. “Hello,” I said slowly.I waited patiently for the person to say something again. “How are you?” The voice from the other end said, and I got curious about who the person was. “Who am I speaking with?” I asked, and the person went silent. 'Why is he quiet?’ I thought. “It

Bryan's POV.I smiled with satisfaction after I ended the call with Giselle, but then I felt something strange. “Why does she sound so sad?” I asked myself. Then I wondered why she didn't want to be involved in the case again. I wondered what made her say something like that.I was scared of calling her before, but after that call ended I couldn't help but think about her husband. “Did he even know about her wife's incident?” I asked myself, after I remembered how Giselle told me that he went on a trip, because I would not be able to sleep if I heard such a thing happened to my beloved.I wondered if something was wrong with her marriage she didn't sound happy when I first heard the voice, and she has been distracted for the past few days. So I thought she was going through tough time in her marriage, and I did not know what I was feeling. I did not know whether I should be happy or sad, but I didn't want my Giselle to be sad, so I decided to make her happy.I knew that she would want

Bryan's POV.“Who else is not living at home?” I asked confusedly. “It is Kevin who else, you boys have decided to stress your mothers,” she said from the other end. “Kevin?” I asked.Kevin is my cousin from my mother's side, we were friends from childhood, and many people mistook us for twins, because we had the same aura, and character. But Kevin usually talks less unlike me, so people recognize him because of his cool attitude. He rarely shares his opinion. That was why I got more popular than him, he did not like associating with people a lot, but I was his best friend.“Yes, he left home yesterday telling his mother that he wants to live alone from now on, she is now frustrated,” she said, and I got confused. Because Kevin was abroad with his uncle, and hearing that he left home was surprising. I felt somehow hurt because I didn't know he could be around and he would not want to meet up with me.“When did Kevin come back to the country?” I asked. “Huh? You did not know? He came b

Giselle's POV.The morning sun seeped into the bedroom and it shone in my direction. And I grunt lazily trying to get out of the bed, but my body kept betraying me. I felt too tired to get up, but then I remembered that I had to go to work. I jerked up from the bed, and checked my clock, I gasped seeing the time. “What?! How ?!” I exclaimed, because I slept so much that I missed my morning alarm even though it was loud. I jumped down from the bed, and rushed to the bathroom. I started bathing roughly, and I kept making mistakes which made me feel more anxious. “I am late already!” I exclaimed running out of the bathroom. I started dressing, but then I heard my phone beeped, and I ignored it.I continued dressing, but then my phone started ringing, and I could not ignore it again. “Who is it?!” I exclaimed. I checked the caller ID and it turned out to be Bryan. “Why is he calling?” I asked no one in particular. I picked it hurriedly., “Hello,” I said, using my shoulder to pin the ph

Bryan's POV.I went out to jog, and looked around the neighborhood. I got tired so I decided to go back to my house. But when I got back home, I saw a familiar vehicle parked in front of my house. I went closer to it, and then I saw a familiar face coming out of the car. “What?” I gasped in surprise. “Do you miss me?” A fragile voice asked cheerfully. “Mom, what are you doing here?” I asked confusedly. “What do you mean? I am here to greet my son, what else?” she asked, and I sighed heavily. “You can't come here unannounced mom, you should at least call me next time,” I said angrily. “You don't have to be angry, I also know that your faculty gave the lecturers a day off,” she said.“How? How did you know?” I asked confusedly, and she smiled. “What do you mean by how? Everybody knows, even though your school is private, such things are still very rare, why only one faculty?” She asked like she was in for some gossip.“How will I know? I am a student,” I said hurriedly. “But your fat

Bryan's POV.“I don't understand your father, I told him I want to spend the weekend here since it's Friday, but he rejected,” she said, and I widened my eyes in surprise. I should not be shocked but I just couldn't help it . Her assistant looked at her with amusement, and I smiled. “I guess she understands what I meant now,” I muttered seeing her surprised face.“Mom, spending the weekend here? Are you being serious about it? Or you want to tease your husband?” I asked, and she looked away. “Mom, you know this is not right, you don't even tell me about it, and you want to spend the weekend here,” I said. “Do I need permission for that too?” She asked, and I sighed heavily.“Of course, you do, you can't be doing this, and your husband is angry as well, you should not do something like that with telling him beforehand too,” I said, and she faced me. “What am I supposed to do?” She asked.“To do? I don't understand,” I said, and she looked at me angrily. “Your father is angry, you kn

Bryan's POV.“So, do you have a girlfriend or not,” she asked with a serious face, and I swallowed nervously. 'What did she want from me?’ I thought.“No I don't have,” I said with a straight face, and she cleared her throat. “Okay, did you have someone you want to date in mind?” She asked, and I spaced out. I wondered if I should tell her about Giselle or not, but I knew that my mother is persistent, and would not let me be until she knew the girl, so I decided to keep it a secret.“I don't have, Mom, if I have any lady in mind I will let you know,” I said, not having the boldness to tell her that I was in love with a married woman. “Okay, anytime you see a lady that you love, I will support you, regardless of background,” she said, and I smiled. My mom did not believe in class or level, she believed that love doesn't need hierarchy, so they did not accept any betrothal request from any family when I was young unlike others.“Thank you Mom,” I said, and she hugged me. “Ding ding,” a

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.
