AGAINST ALL ODDS ( Addicted to her). Chapter 75: Mrs Bipolar.
Giselle's POV.I spent the whole day sleeping and working on the students' assessment. I felt like my whole body went numb, so I decided to walk around the mansion, breathing the air peacefully without any insults, and the memory of being kidnapped by that psychopath was fading away. I sat on the bench inside the garden, and watched the beautiful sunset. “I wish this feeling could last,” I mumbled to myself. I sighed with relief, and smiled.I checked my phone, expecting a call from someone. “He hasn't called yet,” I said, referring to Bryan, but then I thought I should not be expecting any call from him. I noticed that I was expecting too much from him and I did not want anything to happen between us.“Giselle get your act straight, and stop thinking about him, think about your husband,” I exclaimed, trying to convince myself that I wasn't attracted to Bryan.“Did the Boss call?” Someone asked from behind, and that startled me. “Ahhhhhhhhh!” I screamed, holding my chest. “You scared

Kevin's POV.I followed her knowing it was late and she won't have anywhere to sleep. She went into a bar, and wanted to drink but when she checked her purse she left the bar, and she went to the ice cream stand. I watched her every move, and made myself visible to her but she ignored me. And she kept on going to different places and I almost forgot where I packed my car. But I could not stop following her, because it seemed like I was the cause of her problem.I could not stop wondering what kind of mother was her because she was sent out of her house that late when she is just eighteen, and her mother's word flash through my mind, she said Audrey should go and beg the man before coming back to the house. I guessed that she was already aware of her daughter being harassed at work, but she didn't defended the man like it was no big deal.'Who is the man to them? Or what could be the cause of that maltreatment? Or some mothers are just like that?’ I thought, and stared at Audrey's bac

Giselle's POV.I went back to my room after the gathering ended. I went to the bathroom to freshen up before going to bed. I slipped into my white towel, holding a hand dryer, and my phone beeped. I couldn't leave what I was doing so I changed into my night wear.After I got changed, I went to the bed, and picked up my phone. A notification popped up on my phone screen immediately I unlocked it. I saw a message, and the sender was Bryan, I smiled happily. Even after he called me I was still happy to see his message. I clicked on the message. Message read; “Are you indoor?” I read, and the message was weird, but I still replied to him. Message sent; “Yeah, why are you asking?” I sent it. And he replied immediately. “Nothing, I just wanted to check up on you, have a good night's rest,” I read. Message sent; “okay, thanks,” I replied, and placed my head on the pillow with a smile.***********The morning sun seeped into the bedroom and I smiled because I was able to sleep without worrie

Bryan's POV.She hung up the call, and I tossed the phone in the passenger seat. I zoomed out of Mark's apartment, and headed to my house as I adjusted my shirt. I drove on the busy street but then I noticed that I was losing my focus. I was too tired to drive properly, because of what I went through thirteen hours ago.13 hours earlier, I got a call from Mark so I had to go to his apartment. I zoomed into his apartment aggressively, and parked randomly. Three men were waiting outside for my arrival and they bowed as soon as I got down. “Welcome sir,” they chorused. “Where's Mark,” I asked impatiently. “This way sir,” one of the men led the way, and I followed him.We got inside the apartment, but nobody was there because the apartment was just a camouflage. The man shifted a frame, and a door opened. I walked down the stairs and the underground office was spacious, occupied with only computers, and other technology devices. It was busy there. And as soon as I got down, Mark walked t

Kevin's POV.I woke up early to make some breakfast because Audrey didn't eat much last night, and she looked weak to me, but when I was about to go upstairs to call her, I saw her dressed or she didn't even take off her clothes.“You are going this early?” I asked Audrey, who was busy dragging her suitcase. “Give it to me, I will help you,” I collected the bag from her, and took it downstairs.“Let's eat breakfast before you go,” I said, and she shook her head. “What's wrong?” I asked when I noticed that her attitude towards me had changed. “I should go now,” she said, and wanted to leave, but I held back. “Why are you in a hurry? Eat breakfast first and I will take you back home,” I said, but she wasn't willing to hear me. It was like I was talking to a different person. “Audrey, are you okay?” I asked worriedly. “I am very fine, I should go,” she said with an unspeakable attitude, and I started to wonder if I misbehaved why she was sleeping. 'I don't sleep walk' I thought, but I

Audrey's POV.After Kevin took me to his, and made me dinner. I was relieved that I could spend the night in a peaceful place, but I was embarrassed because he kept witnessing all my down moments, and I didn't want that. I was ashamed after he saw me being harassed at the coffee shop and after he left I flared up, and left the coffee shop angrily knowing what the consequences were. My mother was owing Mr Anthony a huge amount of money, so I worked every time at the coffee shop without a rest, and I did not get paid, because of my mother's debt. The man had the intention to make me his sex worker, but I refused and told him I will pay him back the money my mother owed him no matter what, but my hope shattered when my mother engaged in another gambling, that put her in debt. She went to Mr Anthony for help, and she used me to bargain with him knowing the man wanted me. And he bought me with the money. I had no choice, but to endure such treatment from him. I had no right to complain be

Giselle's POV.Finally, the weekend was over. I woke up early, and started preparing for work. I was so happy to resume back to work, and the reason was unknown to me. I danced under the shower, and after some time, I slipped into my white bathrobe,with a white towel on my head which I used in drying my hair. I went to my closet, and picked a dirty red suit with a black blouse. I wore my underwear and combed my hair. I slipped into my suit pants, and put my blouse on. I tucked in my blouse, and put on my coat. I packed my lecturing materials, and picked a purse. I took my overcoat and went downstairs.“Good morning,” I said cheerfully when I saw Susan and another maid. “Good morning madam,” they chorused. “Hope you slept well,” I said. “We did, you look energetic this morning,” Susan said, and I smiled. “What did you expect? It is a working day,” I said, and she looked at me teasingly.“You look amazing,” she said. “Thank you,” I replied. “Your breakfast is served, ma'am,” she said,
AGAINST ALL ODDS ( Addicted to her). Chapter 82 : I Dare You To Say That Again!
Bryan's POV.I left Giselle's office unsettled, and headed to my lecture hall, but I started to wonder who could have passed such insults about Giselle on the board. I started thinking about Giselle's encounter with students, but I couldn't think of anybody else than Ivy. I didn't want to jump in, so I went back to the hallway where it was pasted, and looked around the place. I saw a CCTV camera near the hallway and I sighed heavily.I wanted to investigate the situation, but I knew if I went to the school control they would think I was making a big deal out of it, and it might make the rumor worse. I brought my phone out of my pocket, and snapped the CCTV location. I dialed Mark's number, and he picked the call after the third call. “Hello boss,” he said tiredly from the other end, and I smiled lightly. I knew what he was trying to do. I have given him a hard time with the psychopath case, and he deserves some rest, but I still called him.“Good morning,” I said slowly. “What should

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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,
