Chapter 21

Layla’s POV

“So you have a crush on him?” I was surprised with his question and I could tell Lisa also has the same expression written on her face. What has come over Nate? Is he acting concerned now?

“I don’t have a crush on him, Lisa.” I finally answered Lisa question to clear the air and indirectly I also answered his question.

“Doctor, is everything okay?” Lisa still having the shock expression on her face, “I mean you should not mention things like that in front of Melissa ward, what if she hear you and thinks her mother is cheating on her daddy.”

I can’t believe Nate is acting all immature, he is not a kid for petite sake, “Melissa trust her mother so much that I can never cheat on her father, if she is to be scared about anyone it will be her father who is a cheat.” I got so angry remembering what happened at the Art Gallery event, I got so angry and emotional and ready to fight him forgetting we are at the hospital.

“So the father is a cheat and not the mother, how

    Chapter 23Layla’s POV“Are you not happy about it? He is good you know.” Lisa added.“Of course I am happy, I guess I got too excited.” I lied so they won’t suspect a thing.“Are you sure?” Kyle also questioned and I nodded and gave a fake smile.“Okay if you say so darling, I am done with filling my details at his office, I told him I will inform you since you went to check on patients at the ICU.”No way, I am going to see that jerk at his office alone? Why are things not working for good for me today? I don’t want to be seeing more of him because I know so well she is going to be present all the times and it will be too much for me to handle because I so much love him.“Layla, what are you thinking about?” Lisa tapped me and I faked my laugh saying, “I just thought of something.”“Okay, so you heard what I said right? You have to go to his office like right now.”“Sure, I will get going now.” I left them and went to the pack to cool off. What do I do now? How can I get passed him

    Chapter 24Layla’s POVI kept trying my best to tears, “It’s not mine.” He said and I know it was out of guilt, after all I never asked him who it belongs to.“Okay.” I replied, he must not know that I am affected by it.“I will just throw it away.” He said taking it from the spot and he left the car to trash it.I saw him making a phone call and he looks angry with what I was seeing, who could he be talking to in that mood?I imagined him kissing Chloe and all, tears left my eyes and it pained me so much, why does the same man I love makes my heart happy and pained at the same time? Will this ever work? Can we be the best happy couples anyone has ever seen? This is just a facade, I will get over it.I should stop crying, it doesn’t make sense at all, and I wiped off my tears before he entered the car and turned on the ignition. It was a long period of silence till we got home.I came down from the car without saying a word and I rushed to my room locking my door, I expected Nate to

    Chapter 25Layla’s POV I closed my eyes for a few seconds and opened them again thinking I will wake up from this beautiful dream but it turns out that I am not dreaming, everything that is happening in real, Nate is wishing me a happy birthday, he didn’t forget but don’t tell me he did everything himself. “Thank you.” I replied still short of words, what should I say right now? This is just too sudden and lastly I never thought a day like this will come. Yes in the past he do wish me a happy birthday but not by himself, he either pays a delivery guy to give me cake or a letter or he just text me the happy birthday words, and I thought he forgot all about my day today and here he is taking me unaware, this is too good to be true. “You can sit here.” He brought out the chair for me and I sat down still trying to process everything happening. “Is your mom present?” I didn’t know when I threw the question, I know it is impossible for him to do this, maybe his mother came around and b

Why must he meet with her? Why can’t he come up with an excuse not to see her? Is he just fulfilling his duty by playing such a true scene to me?I touched the necklace on my neck and took it off as I dropped it, I hate everything about him.I stood facing a mirror and looked at my face, all I could see was a shadow of myself, I am like a crazy hag that is beyond fixing.Why don’t I end this miserable life of mine and join my father at the other side? That will be better for me, there is no point in continuing to live with this pretense and hope that one day he is going to love me, I am done with this, and I am done. I yelled taking the chair from the ground with anger and threw it directly to the mirror and it shattered into pieces.Yes, I am crazy,

    Chapter 27Layla’s POV“Layla.” Kyle called again and I got revived from my deep thought.“Oh, it was a mistake, I meant to say Doctor Nate and I also work under him now so I thought since Daisy is coming, I was thinking he will come as well.”“Yeah he should but you know he is a famous surgeon so it will be hard for him to create time to come see you, don’t be angry with him, I gave a weird excuse to be here,” He added.What was I even thinking, there is no way Nate cares that he will come here but I am certain I saw Nate earlier, only one way to find out.I tried standing up but Kyle stopped me saying, “You can’t leave now.”“I know, I am bored of this inside view, I would love to sit at the pack and I am very okay now, it’s just a cut.” I assured him.“But I am coming with you but let me get the nurse first.”“Sure.” He took his leave and I quickly remove the drip connection as I rushed outside, I looked both left and right and found no one, I guess it’s just my imagination.Everyo

We need to kidnap Mrs. Susan Beets from that mental home,” I said, looking at Romeo with determination.Romeo’s eyes widened in shock. “WHAT?!” he exclaimed, his voice echoing off the walls.I stood my ground, knowing this was the only way. “That’s the only option we have now.”Romeo shook his head, incredulous. “Are you crazy? Do you know what’s required of us to take out Mrs. Susan Beets from that place? Are you on some drugs or what? I’m lost here. I guess Amanda leaving has really made you insane. Just give me some time, and I’ll talk to her so she can give you a chance.”I sighed, frustrated. “I’m perfectly normal, and I’m not on any drugs, okay? This is the only way out. Something tells me they’re going to hurt her. I really don’t want anything to harm my mother-in-law.”Romeo threw up his hands. “Oh, sweet Lord, help my friend, for he is crazy and out of his damn mind!

Confused right? Don’t worry this video will answer everything and I hope you forgive me after watching it. I will possibly be dead by then, I was one of those who actually founded the Dark Circle.“He took a deep breath after saying that and looked at the lens of the camera recording, “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to leave such a terrible reputation behind, I was carried away with greed without bringing myself to reason like how you would expect your father to act ”Tears left his eyes and he wiped them off, “I have failed you and your mother, I really want to protect you two, that’s my greatest wish so far, will I be alive to do so?
