CLAYWhen Adam and Lisa arrived, I stared at them and saw how they smiled at each other after getting out of the car.Seeing them hugging made me feel uncomfortable. I was also unhappy about the fact that Lisa had left with Adam without telling me. How could she have just sent me a text message when we were very close and I didn't keep anything from her? I waited for her to get into her room and I quickly went in there."What happened?" I asked. "About what?" She asked back."About what you did," I replied. "You suddenly decided you wanted to leave for the city and you didn't ask me. You know I would have gladly taken you, right?You sent me a text instead and decided to go with Adam."She shrugged, "So? What's the big deal? Adam was already on his way to the city. I bumped into him about to leave and I asked him to give me a ride. Why should I have come to you when you were too busy with Mia?"I sighed, "Okay, It's fine. But you should have called me though, you should have called
ADAMThe moment I heard Clay's words, I remembered when I had opened the door to his room in the morning and saw him having sex with Mia.At the time, I had closed the door and knocked, pretending as though I hadn't seen anything. It was surprising that it happened early in the morning, and in the evening he had come up with this.I knew he expected me to be shocked, and I did not want to disappoint him, so I acted as though I was shocked, and I kept staring at him with my mouth open.The game Clay was playing, I finally understood.When I went to the city and arrived at the factory in his company, I realized that the problem he had spoken about, which he said was so big that no engineer could fix it, was a lie.A switch had been deliberately turned off, and I knew that Clay had done it. At first, I didn't understand why, but then I began to replay what had happened the previous days and it all made sense.He had sent me, on that same day it rained, because he wanted me to be away fr
LISAI knew it was going to happen, Clay had already told me.But what I did not bargain on was the pain my heart felt upon seeing the shock on Adam's face.I knew I had to play the angry girlfriend and walk away, just as Clay had told me. But it wasn't truly the reason why I walked away. I walked away because I could not bear to see the look on Adam's face, it was obvious that he was so hurt by everything that Clay was saying. But still, Clay did not stop for a moment.Neither did he care about the fact that his words and actions were hurting his brother.I stood up and left, stayed in my room, and kept thinking about what to do about the whole situation. About an hour later, after freshening up, I came out to see that dinner was over. They had all eaten and gone their separate ways. I thought about it and wanted to talk to Clay.Since I was leaving the next day, I had to make all the necessary arrangements. I did not want to spend another second close to him. I had to leave as soo
ADAM After Lisa left, I felt a little hurt and conflicted at the same time. I had thought she loved Clay. After finding out she didn't, I ought to have been happy for her, but knowing she loved someone else made me feel incompetent. I couldn't even bring myself to tell her that I loved her because I knew it was going to seem like she was my second option.How could I make her understand my feelings?Even before I found out what Mia was up to, I had already developed feelings for her. But something did not make sense to me, though. If she was in love with someone else, why did she follow Clay to my granny's Villa? Why did she introduce herself to my granny as Clay's girlfriend?Who was this man she loved and why was he comfortable with her playing such a role and being in the same bedroom with Clay?Could she have met him after meeting Clay? Because she did say that she spent a passionate night with Clay. I could not believe that she had cheated on the man she loved. But if after m
LISA I felt like I was dreaming. I couldn't believe that Adam had just had sex with me and was lying in bed beside me. I kept staring at him with a smile on my face.Well, I believed it was just a brief moment of weakness on his part, but it was enough to last me a lifetime. However, he surprised me by taking hold of my hands and saying, "Lisa, I know we only just met, but your feelings for me is mutual. What I'm saying is, the same way you love me, that is the same way I love you, or probably even more."My eyes gleamed, "For real? Are you just saying this because Mia is no longer in your life?"He shook his head, "No. Come on, Lisa. You should know that I will never say words I don't mean to you. I let go of Mia on my own.Even when I caught her having sex with Clay in his bedroom, I did not feel any anger or resentment. I think that is more than enough to tell you that Mia is not the one in my heart I am not hurt right now. That is the truth.""Hold on, you saw Mia in bed with Cl
CLAY I couldn't believe what was going on. How could Lisa stab me in the back? I was so angry that I stomped out of her room and went to the living room, screaming at the top of my voice that I was not going to take it.At this point, my granny came out, as well as my uncle, even Mia came out, and Adam and Lisa got dressed and came out, too. "What is going on?" My granny asked."I am being stabbed in the back," I told her. "What happened?""Granny, Lisa is with Adam." I revealed.My grandmother stared at Lisa in surprise and turned to face Adam, "I don't understand what is going on?""I will explain it to you. Granny." Adam replied."The thing is that, on the first day Lisa and Clay arrived, and Clay introduced Lisa to me, I took a liking to her and it was the same for Lisa, she fell for me.However, I believed that Lisa was Clay's girlfriend, so I kept my feelings to myself. Moreover, I was still dating Mia, and I didn't want to hurt her in any way. I decided to bury the feelings
LISAI sat by the pool, feeling sad as I stared at the water.I was waiting for Clay's Granny, who had told me that she wanted to have a word with me.I was surprised by how Clay suddenly reacted. I thought I knew him. Even in the short time I met him, I didn't think he could be so selfish. I was so disappointed in him. But I was very happy, too, that Adam was not willing to give me up.For a moment there, I had been scared. As I listened to their conversation, I had thought that Adam would give in to his Granny's request, but he stood his ground. It meant he really loved me. His Granny soon arrived, and I smiled at her.She sat beside me and said, "Lisa, to be very honest, I have nothing against you. I've always been an open-minded person and I've always said that regardless of the girls my grandsons bring, I would give my blessings for them to get married because I want them to be happy.However, I want my grandsons to be at peace with each other, I want them to be happy and united
ADAMAfter Lisa left, life felt boring. Reading her letter had been extremely excruciating, especially because I knew that my Granny had gotten to her.I couldn't even get upset with my Granny. I loved her too much, and I knew that she did what she did because she felt it was best for the family.I so badly wanted to talk to Lisa, to hear her voice even once, but I had to respect her wishes. It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad. At some point, I wondered if he genuinely loved Lisa, or if he was just upset that he did not have something to use against me anymore.Thanks to our Granny, we were forced to eat breakfast, lunch, and even dinner together. Each time we tried to miss anyone, she would suddenly become sick and create a scene. We knew her health wasn't too good, so we had to play along. I was upset with Clay, but a part of me still tried to forgiv
