Chapter 16 - I don't care what I lose
Last Updated:
2020-10-11 02:08:30"Tom, can I speak to you alone please...." I asked looking him in the eye.
"No, Maya, I want everyone here to be a witness to what we have to say to each other. If you love me, I want to know how deep it is. Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?" He asked with a pleading stare.
I looked at Tracy speechlessly begging her with my eyes to say something but for the first time, I was left to my fate. She had warned me earlier right? But I never took her warning serious. Right then, Mark came back. His eyes were covered with so much pain and anger.
"Please Maya, I have loved you from the very moment I set eyes on you. Since that day, you have taken over my mind completely. I am always at peace whenever you are around me. Please I want to live with this peace forever. Please grant me this wish," he kept pleading.
"I don't know what to say Tom, I don't think I am ready yet.." was all I could say.
But the look in his ey

Despised at First Sight Chapter 17 - That Indescribable Look
Tom's POV Eventhough I had prepared my mind for possible rejection, I never thought it will hurt this much. I felt like ten daggers piecing through my heart at the same time. I knew it wasn't the right time to propose but I realized Mark was secretly in love with her and knowing he never loved Tilda, he will easily dump her for Maya. I confirmed my suspicion when he went to her office alone. I knew that he went there to ask her out after the party because I heard him talking on the phone and making some arrangements. Knowing that Tilda wasn't around, the only person he was making that arrangement for was Maya. I thought of taking advantage of her innocence and shyness before the crowd to accept me so that we spend time knowing more about each other before we finally settle down but No. She rejected my proposal in front of all those people. Why Maya, why can't you love me for once. Why can't I be happy again? When I left the party, I was about going to the pub to drink my heart out b

Mark's POV There was no point hiding the truth from them. Tom is my best friend and Tracy was her bestfriend so I don't think we could hide it any longer. Maya's expression showed how embarrassed she was. It's no fault of hers. I can't keep my hands and eyes of her. I wanted us to keep this a secret and I was still the one to blow it all. She had wiggled out of my arms in embarrassment but I pulled her closer again and with my right arm around her waist, we both faced Tom and Tracy. "I am sorry you guys had to find out this way. I mean, we should have told you being bestfriends but I just wanted to trash out things with Tilda before I make our relationship public." "So you two are dating?" Tracy asked but more of a statement to herself. "Yes," I said boldly, looking at Maya who was looking down shyly. "Well, am not surprised," Tom paused. "Congratulations to both of you." he announced surprisingly. "Thank you," Maya respond
Last Updated : 2020-10-16Despised at First Sight Chapter 19 _ I will keep my Love.
During the ride home, my mind was filled with so many thoughts. I can't believe everything is happening this fast. I never imagined getting married anytime soon. I know people date for years or months before the proposal and then engagement before wedding. But Mark was just something else. He wants us to start planning our wedding tommorrow. Sure I am excited. I want everything to be perfect. I will be all his, in spirit, soul and body. What a lucky girl I am. I felt like Cinderella going to the ball after meeting her fairy god mother. This seems to be a dream. But I could not seem to take my mind off Tilda. How will she take this news? I know they don't love each other but since both of them agreed with both families support, it will be terrible to call off the engagement. This is such an uncomfortable situation and I felt sad thinking about it. Mark's POV Seeing Maya drives me crazy. It makes my blood boil like a v
Last Updated : 2020-10-19Despised at First Sight Chapter 20 - Stay away
Maya's POV I knew that this was going to happen, but I was still hurt. Mark's father conducted my interview and eventhough he seemed naughty in the beginning, he turned nice when he admitted what he was asking me to do was a test. He seemed so different when we reached his mansion. He turned into a complete beast. I couldn't believe he slapped Mark in front of me. My poor heart ached for him so much. He was going through all this because of me and I felt so sad. He didn't seem like the kind of person who will talk back to his Dad but he did that because of me. I felt like a bad influence on him all of a sudden. I wanted to tell him to go back to Tilda but my poor heart could not let him go. I couldn't stand losing him. It was as if he was carrying my heart with with. I let out all my tears as I burried my head in his chest. Why does life have to be so cruel? Mark has fought so much for me. In the beginning, he despised me just to hide what he felt. He tried his best to get over his f
Last Updated : 2020-10-22Despised at First Sight Chapter 21 - Where is Maya
Even though Tom said he was going to pick us, I was secretly hoping Mark will come as he had promised. I longed for his calls, and kept checking my phone literally every minute for even a text message but to no avail. I thought to myself what I did to deserve this treatment from him. Didn't he promise to come take me to the party? My mind was filled with all the negatives but I still tried to stay calm. "You look stunning Maya, all eyes are going to be on you again," Tracy teased, pulling me from my thoughts. "But you look sad," she continued. Hey, we are going for a party and not a funeral remember? What's with this sad face?" You know what, I know that Mark will come over. I think he is planning a surprise for you," She said pouting, when she noticed I wasn't talking. "I hope so, Tracy. I really do. I just have..." I paused and she run off instantly. "I will get it," Tracy yelled as she headed for the door. "I didn't even hear the knock. God, I thin
Last Updated : 2020-10-25Despised at First Sight Chapter 22 - So I prayed
Tracy's POV I could not understand what was going on. The thought of it made made me angry. Maybe my ears went dumb all of a sudden. I can't believe that Mark actually did this to Maya. What explanation could he give for this announcement? No wonder he kept avoiding all her calls and text messages. Or could he have given in to the threats? Even if someone was threatening them, the two of them should have come to a reasonable compromise. The more I thought of it, the more painful were the aches in my head. Maya, I remembered as if I was woken from a nightmare. I left her with Jude but I don't think that even he could comfort her and just as I thought, he didn't even realize she had left his side. My instincts told me that she needed me. I was so puzzled at the thought of where she might be at the moment. Tom had already called the police and a secret agency. I searched, the washrooms and balconies which were the places any woman would go to cry her heart
Last Updated : 2020-10-27Despised at First Sight Chapter 23 - It's the least I can do
Maya was sleeping peacefully when we got to the VIP ward. She was no longer stiff or cold. Even in her sleep, she looked so beautiful, even though her skin was still pale. She had on an oxygen mask and the beeping sound from the monitor was encouraging. The nurse came to change her IV. The one they had on her was almost empty when we got here. It's unfortunate I couldn't see her deep blue eyes which always made her look like an angel. But the doctor said she might wake up any moment from now so even though I wanted so much to change into something more comfortable, I decided to stay till she woke up. Even Jude and Tom were still here. None of us had eaten or drank anything since we got here. We were anxiously waiting for her to regain conciousness. The doctor finally told us to wait at the waiting area but when I turned around, I felt a movement on my hand. My heart was warmed to a weak smiling Maya. She couldn't keep her eyes steady but she wanted to tell me somethi
Last Updated : 2020-10-29Despised at First Sight Chapter 24 - My Greatest Fear
Maya's POV I was trying to imagine how Tom dealt with Mark and I didn't know if I should be happy or sad. I didn't remember most of what happened last night when I woke up this morning. I remembered the announcement and Mark proposing to Tilda. Heck. I went to the garden and then, I woke up in the hospital. It would have been better if he had killed me. The first man I ever loved was also the one to tear my heart in pieces. The pain was just unbearable. Tracy told me to pray but I stopped believing in prayer because I felt my prayers were never answered. Anytime I prayed for something, I got the exact opposite. For instance the time that my mother was being driven to the hospital, I prayed that God will bring her back safe with my baby brother or sister but they never returned. Same as the time my dad died. So you see, it's just been like that. But since I didn't have any other option, I decided to give it another try. It would be better than nothing. I could

Despised at First Sight Epilogue
Mark's POV "Mark, not this morning," Maya pouted. "I thought we made love last night?" She said, trying to wiggle her way out of my arms but i quickly pinned her on the bed. "That was last night," I said lustfully, rubbing my palm on her bump. "It's always been twice a day remember?" I asked teasingly. You see, a week after we got married, we never made love because we were moaning. So after the burial, we decided to make sex a very important part of our marriage and so has it been this five years for as long as we wake up healthy. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten but you might be forgetting that your elephant wife is seven months pregnant, and gets tired easily, so once a day is fine but I promise to make it up to you after our baby is born," she smirked. "But I can't seem to have enough of you," I said, exploring her mouth with my tongue. She kissed me back passionately, encouraging me to slip my hand into her nightie. "Mind you, you are no
Despised at First Sight Chapter 35 - Wedding Bliss
I wasn't in the least surprised at Tilda's words. Mark telling me to give him two years gave me some hope that something might happen but I just didn't think it will be something this sad. Sir Max was lost in the whole confession so I had to explain everything to him. It surprised him that I went through all that without telling him. He was disappointed but also proud of me. I knew he always thought me to be strong and brave but this has revealed a different side of me. I saw the relief in Tilda's eyes. I knew she always wanted me to be happy. Tom hugged Mark. It was so priceless. My heart was filled with so much joy seeing those two being best friends again. What more could I ask for? Mark asked to speak with me. I wanted us to speak in private but he insisted on speaking in front of all these people. He said there had nothing to hide. "I am sincerely sorry for all that I put you through," Mark said looking straight into my eyes. "No, you should forgive me for not t
Despised at First Sight Chapter 34 - A dying wish
Mark and Tom were already seated in the courtroom when we arrived. I hated the way my coming into their lives has made them enemies. I wish I could take back the hands of time. I was also thinking of how Mark could still be here when Tilda was in the hospital. Is this hearing that important to him? I kept asking myself this question over and over again. Tom's eyes brightened when he saw us and walked to hug me and Tracy. "Who is he?" Sir Max asks with a questionable look. "I will tell you about myself after the court proceedings," Tom said with a smile. Mark's Dad entered the court and I couldn't hide my surprise. He was never in any of the hearings and I wonder what changed. He walked over to Mark and whispered something in his ear. Then what began as a whisper, started getting loud, as if they were arguing. "What the heck son, you should have told me," he said. "Dad, this is personal. You are not invited to this hearing," M
Despised at First Sight Chapter 33 - What a night?
Edward sat between Tracy and me. It was great having him with us. I sat down and tossed a few grains of popcorn in my mouth and sipped on my coca-cola. I was enjoying the moment as the movie was about to begin, never bothering to check the one sitting next to me until I heard his voice. "Are you feeling cold, should I put my Jacket around you?" That's Mark's voice. Why does he want to speak with me now? I was about to speak when I heard a female voice. "No, I'm fine. I'll just relax on your shoulder and keep warm." OMG, this is going to be a nightmarish night. I don't know what else to call it. He didn't notice me sitting next to him so I though of a way of excusing myself. I will take a cab home and call to tell Tracy that I felt dizzy. I can't sit down here and drown in jealousy. "Maya, Tracy was just telling me that you two live together and work together. She also said you are both single so I need to know this. Are you lesbians?"
Despised at First Sight Chapter 32 - What a nightmare.
"Leave her alone." A deep voice thundered, cutting through every corner of the mall and making everyone still. This time, Alex was startled and freed his grip but didn't let go completely of my waist. I began to thank God in my heart for sending someone to rescue me from this insane guy. I wondered what happened to him. His brother Jude was such a gentle soul but for him, that's a story for another day. But the voice sounded familiar. Why did I feel that I knew this voice? I knew I heard the sound correctly. Yes! It's Mark. He was standing there elegantly dressed but boiling with rage and tightened his fist. He was the last person I ever thought to be of help to me today. What was he doing here anyway? How did he know I had gotten in trouble? Alex shifted uncomfortably away from me and yelled, "Who are you and how dare you interfere?" Before he completed his sentence, I line widened across his lips with a broad smile. "Hey, Mark?" He said
Despised at First Sight Chapter 31 - Leave her alone
Maya's POV It's exactly one year since Mark Snowman presented me with the law sue. We went for the first hearing six months ago and I was nowhere close to getting out of this problem. We have the second hearing tomorrow and Sir Max has promised to come for the next hearing if things don't improve. Despite this big problem, my company continues to expand but unfortunately, we can't have certain partnerships because of the law sue. I have bumped into Mark a few times but he doesn't speak with me anymore. He ignores me like a total stranger. I feel hurt by his actions. Even in court, I never hear his voice. His lawyer does all the talking. I am dying inside. Please don't get me wrong. I know that I always told him to stay away after the betrayal saga. I even rejected his friendship when he offered it. So why do I feel this way? Isn't this what I wanted? Now, I am not just tensed but also sad because I miss Mark. It doesn't mean I will call him or a
Despised at First Sight Chapter 30 - But why?
Tom's POV I decided to go and speak to Mark. We should stop this cat and mouse game and behave like the adults we are. "Maya, there's somewhere I need to be. I promise I will be back before you know it." Without waiting for an answer. I dashed out of Maya's office and went straight to Mark's office. As expected, he will not give me an audience. I have shares in this company so I couldn't be denied access into the facility but Mark will not allow me into his office. I didn't know things could ever be this way between us. We used to be very close and after everything, I never wanted to be his enemy. I only wanted to protect Maya. She has been hurt enough and I could not see her continuously suffering like that. So everything I did, I did for her but I guess Mark takes everything personal. I can't even understand him trying to get back with Maya. The bastard got married and broke her fragile heart. He has become so different from what he used to be
