Chapter 9 - Office Dinner

"What" No. I think he just feels pity for me. Or maybe he feels guilty for what happened yesterday because he was the one who invited me to sit with them...I said defensively.
Tracy's POV
Listening to Maya only confirmed my suspicions. Tom is no ordinary guy and guys like that do not just show attention to people if they don't have interest. The way he led her yesterday to their table and how he greatly defended her made everyone astonished including me.
But my problem is Maya. She is so naive. Ever since I have known her, she has never talked about any man than Jude and Sir Max who were big brothers or should I say guardians. Her life has been centered around education and work. She doesn't even have a social life and she has never had a boyfriend. I hope she doesn't break Tom's heart.
When Tom called last night that he could not reach her, he sounded so desperate. It was as if

My jaws dropped when I saw Tilda. She was like a shining light. Her beauty was stunning. She had the fairest skin and the most beautiful dimples I have ever seen. I could understand why Mark loved her so much. I couldn't believe that a woman could be this perfect and still be wealthy and famous too. I have never been envious of anyone but I was envious of her. Seeing her, I could not pay attention to the event anymore until I heard, "can I have this dance? It was Tom. His right hand was stretched to me as he bowed politely. "Ofcourse," I said, as he led me to the dance floor. "Maya, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," he whispered." "Then you haven't seen Tilda," I whispered back. He gave me a surprised look as he pulled back a little and swang me around, then holding me close as before. "You are smart and all, but you are still naive if you see Tilda to be more beautiful than you. Thirty plastic surgeries got her looking like th
Last Updated : 2020-09-29Despised at First Sight Chapter 11 - Could it be Love....
Tom's POV When Maya asked this quesion, it really got me thinking. All these years, I have worked hard and achieved great wealth. I wanted to be rich for revenge. To let Tilda know that I could make it too but countless times I have asked myself this question. If Tilda had not left me, would I have been able to make it this big. I could not answer that question which was why I could not bring myself to hate her or revenge as I had planned. When Mark told me he was getting married to her, I was happy for them, even though I knew they didn't love each other. I did not feel jealous. I only felt grateful that her rejection has pushed me to be a better person. I wanted to tell Maya that the only person I loved now was her but I couldn't bring myself to do so. We just met yesterday but I felt a great bond to her as if I had known her all my life. She's sooo naive which gives her such innocent look and Tracy has already told me about her past when I called her as I

"What is the problem, Matilda, I was just trying to understand everything we are discussing," I tried to lie. "That's not true, she replied accusingly. No matter what you have on your plate, you always get a grip on yourself". She was right I never drip off in a meeting no matter the problems around me. "You always take promt decisions that always turn out well and besides, you never call me Matilda because you said it was old fashion." She ended angrily. "Trust me Matilda, I was thinking about what we were discussing," I tried to defend myself . "Please excuse me gentleman," she said dismissing our bankers. I know you very well Mark, and don't take me for a fool," she continued as the bankers left. Did you even ask me how I got to know where you were? I heard your voice from afar when I excused myself from the meeting to get a drink. I turned around and couldn't see you and when I asked them, they said you had gone the other way towards the garden. G
Last Updated : 2020-09-30Despised at First Sight Chapter 13 - Please, forgive me
The look on her face made me feel more guilty. I have totally turned her into a scared little thing. If I had not treated her the way I did this past few days, she would have perhaps given me a concerned look or even a loving smile. But all I could see was fear and a means of escape. "I am very sorry," I managed to say. I just want to talk please. Just listen to me for a moment. "Okay, sit there on the couch and i will be back in five minutes," she said as she went to her closet. She came back wearing a long dress that covered every part of her body but she looked flawless like an Egyptian goddess. I was too desperate that i didn't take notice of what she was wearing before but I think she wanted to make herself comfortable. "Tea, Coffee?"...she asked as she walked towards the kitchen. "Coffee"...I replied gratefully. The way she treated me just made me feel even more guilty. How could she be so nice to me when all I did was make her life a nightmare? No wond
Last Updated : 2020-10-06Despised at First Sight Chapter 14 - Drastic Change
Tom's POV I was in a state of ectasy when I saw her waving at me through the window. There were so many thoughts running through my head. I can see she is gradually begining to like me but I don't know if she loves me as much as I love her. Women can be very difficult to understand. Even with my experience with Tilda, they seem like a blank book that need to be filled through one's own experience. There are sooo many things I wanted to tell you her, but I don't know if she can take it. I don't know if it will make you happy and bring us together or only dissappoint her and destroy our friendship. After Mark was pulled away by Tilda during the office dinner party, I sensed her whole mood was destroyed. She couldn't focus on anything else so we decided to leave, just as we heard Mark arguing with Tilda. I was pretty sure it was about my past with Tilda. I couldn't help but notice the way she looked at me when she tried to take Mark away from our little argu
Last Updated : 2020-10-08Despised at First Sight Chapter 15 - Send Off Party
"Where the hell have you been Maya"? were his first words when his eyes met mine. Even though he was angry, his eyes were filled with so much pain and genuine concern. Why will he be so concerned about me? Yes he apologized for everything and I genuinely forgave him. I didn't expect him to be my new guardian or anything. "We went to my house to pick my stuffs" Tracy responded from nowhere before i could even speak. Where did she come from all of a sudden? "So you both decided to leave your phones unattended?" He asked again, this time calmer. His eyes looked sunken and his hair was all messed up like he hadn't slept in days. But he still looked so attractive in his white T-shirt. This is my first time seeing him dressed casual and it suited him so well. I couldn't keep my eyes off him till Tom showed up also in a white shirt and looking tired as well. "Are you girls okay" he asked catching his breath. He must have really searched for us. "

"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
Last Updated : 2020-10-11Despised 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

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
