AGAINST ALL ODDS ( Addicted to her). Chapter 80 : You Did Well.
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,

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

Bryan's POV.All the students kept quiet and watched me silently. “Man, calm down,’’ Seb whispered to me, but I wasn't having it. “If any of you say any bad word against that lecturer again, I won't take it lightly with the person,” I said with a cold gaze. “What did I say wrong? I was talking based on what was pasted on the school notice board, it is not like I hate her,” she said hurriedly. “Have you confirmed the rumor?” I asked, and she shook her head. “Answer me when I ask you a question! Did you confirm the rumors to be true?!” I fired.“No,’’ she said slowly. “So, why are you so sure that she really did those things?” I asked. “Since it was from an anonymous source it will be true, and I think we should not have such a person with that character as a lecturer in this school,” she said, and I clenched my fist trying to control my anger.“Okay since it is from an anonymous source it should be true,” I said, and I walked towards the podium. The girl shifted backwards when she saw

Giselle's POV.I left my office, and walked towards the lecture hall I was going to take. I wasn't feeling well after Mr Wilson talked, but I still decided to do my job without any hindrance.I walked into the lecture hall. I noticed that the class was so disorganized that someone could mistake it for a market square. “Did they not know it's lecture time?” I asked no one in particular. I still walked to the podium with my head high.“Settle down class,” I said loudly, but I was ignored by the whole class. I swallowed angrily because I couldn't take it anymore. I controlled my anger, and decided to carry on with class regardless of their position or how organized they were.I opened my laptop. I took out some of the lecturing materials, I faced the class. I will list the course outline again, because it is almost exam time. “This will be the course outline for this semester,” I declared after listing the outline for them, but no one listened. I sighed heavily trying to control my a

Bryan's POV. I clicked on the video Mark sent. I watched the footage. I gasped after seeing a familiar figure. I predicted it, but I didn't expect Ivy to stoop so low. I went straight to the Dean's office. Knock knock. “Come in,” I heard. I went inside. The office was spacious, and gorgeous. It wasn't a regular office for any staff in the school, after the working chair and table there were three leather sofas in his office and a table that was shining. I wondered when they renovated it that much. ‘It was never like this before' I thought. I saw the man in his late fifties sitting comfortable in his chair with his legs crossed. His eyes were focused on his phone. He was wearing prescribed glasses. “Good morning, Sir,”I greeted politely. “Good mornin__ Mr Lopez,” he wanted to greet me, but he was surprised when he noticed my presence. “How have you been, Sir,” I smiled. “I've been well, trust you are doing well yourself,” he stood up from his chair. “Of course,” I nodded. “Wha

Giselle's POV. I ran out of my office immediately and hung up the call. I rushed to the hospital in my car. Donald wasn't in the country, so he asked for my help instead. His mother got hurt when she was on vacation in the countryside. But she was rushed to their family hospital in the city after she was attended to with some first aid treatment. I didn't know the reason why I was panicking for someone that hates my guts. I guess I could say I was still in my soft girl era. I had a lot on my plate already. I shouldn't add another thing to it. The traffic was bad enough that I almost got out of my car. I got to the hospital after some time. I got down from the car, and rushed inside. I started dialing Donald's number while working towards the ward, but he didn't pick up. I got to the front desk inside the ward. “Good afternoon, nurse,” I greeted. “Morning ma'am, how may I be of service to you?” the lady in her late twenties asked politely. “Which room is Claudia Martinez admi

Giselle's POV.The next day, I woke up early as usual. I started preparing for work. I got dressed and went downstairs. “Good morning, ma'am,” Susan greeted. “Morning, Susan,” I responded. “Hope you slept well,” she inquired.“Of course, what about you?” I asked. “Same here,” she replied. “That's great to hear,” I remarked.“Your breakfast is ready,” she informed me. “Oh okay, thanks,” I appreciated. I walked towards the dinner hall. She followed me. She served my meals personally. It was suspicious because that wasn't her job. She finished serving my tea, then she cleared her throat.I smiled knowing she wanted to discuss something. “Susan, what is it?” I queried her. “I am not sure if I can ask you something,” she proposed. “Ask away,” I gave her my permission. “What happened to the boss's mother? I heard that she's back in town, but she is not here yet,” she said curiously.“Oh that, I forgot to tell you guys because I was tired last night, so the thing is that she is in the h

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

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.

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

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
