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
KEIRA. I stirred, my eyes fluttering open as I slowly tried to regain stability and consciousness. I felt a pang of headache, I know I drank a lot of alcohol yesterday. I couldn't even recall how I came home. Groggily, I sat up, taking in the surroundings, I was in George's room and he was nowhere near me. Did Sebestian bring me home yesterday? My chest tightened, a wave of emotions washing over me. The memories of the previous night began to resurface, so George was with my mom till now. What was I even thinking? If I found pictures of a woman who he claimed he didn't love, I don't think I needed any other signs. I angrily stood up from the bed and walked over to my room as I opened the wardrobe and began taking my clothes out, I mean mine, not the ones George had gotten for me. I unlocked my luggage and began placing my clothes in them rapidly. I need to get out of here, I wasn't needed anyway. I was profusely taking them out with tears welling up in my eyes as I heard George's v
AUTHOR'S POV.George drove across the streets, his eyes blazing with anger. He only figured out Isabel might have done something after she began questioning him about the promises they made to each other. He gave her a second chance and this was all she could do! George couldn't help but get angry at the thought of it, the fact that Keira couldn't trust him made matters worse. He never intentionally ditched their plans, he wasn't going back to her, why wouldn't Keira believe him. George got to Isabel's apartment and rang the doorbell. After Isabel peeped through the spy hole, her face curved into a wide smile as she enthusiastically opened the door. “George!” She exclaimed once she set her eyes on him. “I knew you would come back..” She smiled, spreading her arms for a hug.George clenched his fists, his upper lips curling into a sneer.“What did you tell Keira?” He questioned, his tone squirming with impatience, shoving the fact that she wanted to hug him down the drain. Isabel'
