KEIRA. “I'm sorry! I was just joking around!” Elena apologised instantly and I inhaled a deep breath. I later switched on my cell phone, George had called me over twenty times.“I don't care…” He muttered,cutting her off as he turned to me. “Keira, we need to talk.” He said, his voice squirming in urgency..“I don't want to. I have nothing to talk to you about.” I declined. “I'm not ready to face you and I will be happy if you can stay away from me..” I added with a cold tone. “That request wouldn't be possible. I can't stay away from you. That's never happening.. I think you should let me explain. I know you are mad about what happened but hear me out” He stated firmly. “I don't want to. Please go. I want to end the relationship as well” I declared. The few people in the coffee shop began mumbling words..“She is dating the CEO of Castillo's Industries, she must have seduced him!” A voice claimed, it was supposed to be a whisper but her voice was loud to one's hearing. “Isn't s
KEIRA. “Here…” He handed me a glass of Juice and I rolled my eyes before taking it. I can't help but continue being rebellious.He snorted out a laugh, “You are really good at sulking.” “Don't talk to me….” I countered and he sat beside me on the couch. “I'm really sorry. I'm really really sorry. I have no excuse.” He made an apology. “ But you are different from Isabel and I really didn't mean to make you a substitute.” He paused and breathed out a sigh before grabbing my hands. “You weren't a substitute. You captured me from that night, I couldn't help it no matter how hard I tried. I wanted to stop after realizing the mother who hurt you was my first love and you had a striking resemblance to her. I thought maybe that was why I was into you at first but it's really not.”“It's a different thrill with you each time Keira.” He said, brushing my wrist softly with his thumbs. I didn't know what to say, I just held onto the glass of Juice he offered me, my spare hand fidgeting with
KEIRA. I can't believe I eventually slept over at the penthouse after saying I didn't want to come for a while. I opened my eyes and George was next to me, we cuddled and did all sorts of stuff last night in his room till we slept off. Next time I woke up, it was already morning and I didn't have a night shower before sleeping. I heaved a sigh, watching George sleep peacefully. I didn't even know if I had a choice or not, remembering the words he affirmed about us not being over till he said brought a smile to my lips. I didn't know if I should think about that in a good or negative way. I stood up in my stark naked body while contemplating if I should shower in his bathroom or not. After reckoning that it wasn't a big deal to shower in his bathroom, I decided to. I would probably finish up before he wakes up. I gently walked towards the bathroom and the thought of being married to George came flooding but a bit of sadness washed over my face, I had never thought of that. Wouldn't
KEIRA. Seating across the table with my mom after all these while seems so strange. It felt so strange especially when I knew she was going to talk about George.I can't believe my own mom would never care about my wellbeing but cares more about me staying away from her lover. Gone are the days when I let her belittle me. I Just had to accept the hard fact, I would never matter to her. I would never be important to her. Maybe if I begin to love myself more,if I begin to put myself first, I would get rid of these emotional scars. “Hmmm,” She cleared her throat after staring at me for a long while with loathe in her eyes and as she sipped the pineapple glass of Juice on the table. She had never stopped hating me, I knew she would hate me more because of George and I don't think I'm ready to give up either.“I will get straight to the point” She began with a cold tone. A part of me still wished she would ask me how I have been all these years but it seemed clear that I'm not needed, I
ISABEL. I watched Keira leave the restaurant with anger boiling in my heart, my eyes blazing with fury. She made my life miserable, I have always hated her. Now she wants to take the one person that made my life a little meaningful, I won't let her, never!I suffered so much in that silly marriage with her father. I hated her guts, her existence, she shouldn't have come into this world. I admit I made a terrible mistake, leaving George in the past. If I didn't, he wouldn't have settled for Keira but at least it boosted my confidence in coming back.I wouldn't have known he still loved me if he didn't go for my lookalike. Now I know, I'm going to take him back. I'm sure he doesn't want to leave Keira because he pities her and it would have been better if she would listen to me and walk away on her own. But no, she wants to stay, she wants to love him and take away my happiness like she has always done, I won't let that happen. She wanted to prove she wasn't the same naive and cryba
KEIRA. I heaved a sigh while in the cab, different thoughts in my mind. What was mom talking about? Should I still be calling her mom when I wasn't a child to her. Isabel, I wonder what she meant. What didn't I know about George? I'm damn curious and a bit mad, I'm just waiting for the time he would really open up to me. I can't force him to. I kept heaving a sigh while in the cab. My phone beeped and I picked it. (Do you mind coming to my office, Bambi? I have a surprise for you?) I saw a text from George and my lips curved into a smile. ( What's the surprise Daddy?) I typed back with a hint of tease and sarcasm, the amusement in my tone making me blush a bit. I instantly forgot about everything I was thinking about. (No, no. You are being coy. It's no longer a surprise if I tell you, is it? You will come right?) He repeated and I heaved a sigh, it is not like I would decline, meanwhile I had never been to his office. (I'm coming) I replied and asked the driver to take me to Ca
KEIRA. Tears slipped through my cheeks, I couldn't control it. I wasn't supposed to be crying, I wasn't. He did it again, he lied to me. He told me he no longer loved her! He was such a liar, no wonder mom was so confident about her words. All these explained it. I quickly took to my heels and ran out of his room with tears in my eyes. I ran my hands through my hair, ruffling it in frustration. I shouldn't be crying because of him, I didn't want to! But no matter how I tried to seem strong, I couldn't control my emotions. I quickly took wipes and began erasing all the silly makeup I put on, I can't believe this! He should have a good life with her! I'm done with this relationship, I'm done with him! I profusely wiped out the mascara and eyeliner I put on. I wanted to keep my tears in place but they kept coming through. Can you give it rest? I felt so shitty and useless. I felt like I was choking on my breath, like I was drowning in my own emotions. Just as I thought I couldn't tak
GEORGE. I was driving home, a wide grin on my cheeks. I was so satisfied with the expression I saw on Keira's face when she saw the little surprise I had for her. I can't believe I'm actually got a customized necklace for us both. I can't wait to see her, I already miss her. My phone buzzed and it was her asking me if I was coming yet. I quickly picked my phone with the other hand and messaged back, my other hand on the steering wheel. I was about to keep my phone as it started ringing from an unsaved number. I hated picking unsaved lines so I dropped my phone but it kept buzzing non stop. I decided to pick up, the moment I put the phone over my ear, I couldn't hear a word. “George!!!!! Please save me!!! That man is here to kill me! He wants to kill me! He wants to kill me, George. Please save me!!” I quickly recognized Isabel's voice. I had not forgotten her voice whenever the PTSD she got from marrying a woman beater came. She was traumatized from that marriage with Keira's fat
