AGAINST ALL ODDS ( Addicted to her). Chapter 85 : Power Trip ll
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. Throughout the week, I struggled mentally on each epic day I experienced. I confronted Bryan that day. He confessed and revealed how much his coursemates helped me. I went to their lecture hall the next day. I was so grateful for their help and support. I got to know a few names among the students and recognized some faces. My working life went back to normal. Everything was going smoothly at work, but was it at home? My mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital. She has been an attention seeker ever since she got back home. Even the maids got tired of her constant insults. And I wasn't excluded. She could barely do something herself. She always plays the victim act anytime things happen. Donald only called me whenever he wanted to ask about his mother's health or welfare. He was never curious about my well-being or my work. I was told that he always drops by the house whenever I am at work. I was a little bit depressed that I was losing focus at work, but

Bryan's POV.I got to the hall earlier. I started preparing for the game. After some time, I checked my wristwatch. “She must be here by now,” I muttered. I left the hall and went outside to pick Giselle up. “Miss Giselle!” I called, after seeing her, but she didn't reply. I walked towards her, but when I saw a bike that was riding recklessly in her direction. “Giselle!” I screamed, running to her. She turned around looking surprised. I pulled her from the way. “Are you okay?” I asked, breathing heavily. “I'm fine,” she muttered.“You should be careful next time,” I said worriedly. “Thank you,” she mumbled slowly.“Let's go inside,” I urged her. “Of course,” she followed me inside.************************************“Wow! That was cool, you are so skilled,” she flattered me. “Stop it,” I playfully told her. “Why?” She arched her eyebrows.“You don't even understand anything about the game, you are completely clueless,” I teased her. “Well, you won, doesn't that mean you are skill

Giselle's POV I was stunned when I heard Bryan confessed his feelings for me, but I tried not to be swayed by his words.I honestly had the hint that he may like me, but I didn't know he was that bold.I left the place before I embarrassed myself. I got into the car, and zoomed out without checking the direction.I started thinking about his confession, but I kept reminding myself that I was married.Even though I was having issues with Donald at the moment, I still didn't think of cheating on him. I got to a point where the direction was confusing. I immediately checked the GPS in my car, but it wasn't working. I took my phone, and tried to use the GPS. The signal didn't work. “What? Why now? I didn't know anywhere around here,” I muttered looking around.There weren't any shops open around the area; it was so silent. “How did I even get here?” I asked no one in particular.I knew I wasn't in my right mind when I drove out of the place, because I was flustered after hearing such a

Giselle's POV.“What is wrong with you!” I yelled at Donald.We have been arguing since I got back home. I couldn't understand why he was acting like that. He was acting like I did something which seemed abnormal to me.His mother treated as a crazy barren everyday and he would not take my side.And he wanted to play a son role because of his pretentious mother. “Giselle, don't make me angry!” He lamented. I was still shocked by his sudden change. Donald wasn't like that before, even though he didn't support me whenever his mother lashes out insults on me.But the way he was raising his voice at me made me realize how stupid I was when I married him. I sneered at his words. “Do I look like I care?” I snorted. I stood in front of him with confidence.“Well, you can perform your craziness as much as you want, but I will leave this house now,” he made himself clear.Truly, his presence in the house was useless, but I just don't feel comfortable with him leaving that night. “What if I r

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 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

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

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,
