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

    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

  • Despised 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   Chapter 25 - How could you be so cruel

    I felt my heart beat racing faster as I saw the names written in gold. It was as if a dagger had been pushed through my heart and the pain was just unbearable. Even more painful than the heart break. "How could you do this to me Mark?" I sobbed. "What did I ever do to you?" I cried. The wound which I thought was beginning to heal in my heart was rather opening deeper at that instant. I took a second look at the words with my vision blurred with tears. Mark & Tilda's wedding ceremony. I didn't only feel a knife stabbing my heart but also hatred. Hatred for myself. For ever trusting him. I thought my heart was healed and I could take anything but this was different. It would have been easy if I had heard the news from elsewhere but not from him. "I'm sorry Maya, I thought you saw my text messages," He said with regret. Did he take me for a kitten. I mean, he clearly proposed to a girl he claimed not to love right in front of me and now, he seems like an innocent so

    "Maya, please don't scream," was the sound of Marks's voice in my ears. I quickly wiggled myself out of his arms and slapped him hard on the face. "Don't ever touch me again," I warned him sternly. "Please you have to hear me out. I know you are hurting but I am hurting even more, Maya, you have to believe me." He said regretfully. "Well, it doesn't look so to me. You seem to be enjoying every bit of it." I turned to leave but he quickly grabbed my hand and pinned me to the wall. I could feel his breathing so close. I started to have those flutters in my stomach again. No way. I can't be his side chick. "Leave me alone Mark. You made your decision to stay away," I yelled, trying to get out of his grip. "Okay. Just listen to what I have to say. Whatever you decide to do afterward, I will respect it." What could he want to tell me? I am trying my best to move on and I just have a feeling he might say something to get me all confused again,

    Mark had set up the same way he did when he proposed to me the first time but more. The floor was grassed with the words, 'Please forgive me'. I also noticed instrumentalists waiting a few meters away. There were garden lights heart-shaped lights in the trees. They looked like enchanted fruits. I always heard that the most beautiful place was heaven. If that was true, then this place showed heaven on earth.

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

    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

    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

    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

    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?"

    "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

    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
