Forbidden Love 25
ONE MONTH LATER Bryan was in his office, trying to get some work done on his computer when his phone rang. He didn’t bother looking at the caller ID to know who was calling, as he was concentrated on the contract he was going through on his computer.“Hello, Bryan?” Amy’s soft voice took his attention away from his computer.“Amy, is everything alright?” He asked in concern, wondering why she was calling him during working hours.“Um… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to call you at this hour, I thought it was lunchtime, but I guess I was wrong… I’ll call you later, if that’s okay with you?” she rambled.Bryan could hear the nervousness in her voice and it got him concerned.“It’s okay, Amy. You didn’t call at a wrong time.” He encouraged, hoping it would get her to say something.“Are you sure?.. I really can call you later.” She said in a quiet voice.Bryan remembered the last time Amy gave him a sudden call, it was past midnight but it was something urgent

“I’m in love with someone.” Amy confessed in one breath, searching Bryan’s eyes for any form of reaction, at the same time waiting for his opinion.Amy’s confession took Bryan by surprise. He wasn’t expecting such a news.Was this the reason she called him over? He wondered, as he couldn’t understand why she was so scared of sharing such great news with Henry, who was always worried that his singleness was rubbing off on his daughter. He guess she wants to use him as a form of practice, to prepare herself for when she will break the news to her father, since neither of them saw it coming.“Well, that’s great news.” He finally said, giving her his total support and approval.“You think so?” Amy asked, smiling in relief as she was anxious that Bryan wouldn’t approve, when he didn’t say anything for what felt like hours.“Yes, I do… So, who’s the lucky guy?” Bryan asked, curious to know the name of the man that has won Amy’s heart.Amy blushed at the question, too embarrassed to give an

Amy’s words rang over a hundred times in Bryan’s ears. This is only an imagination, none of this real, he kept telling himself.“I love you, Bryan.”Amy’s voice brought him out of his trance.He summoned the courage and gazed into her gorgeous brown orbs. They held some sort of expectation, which made him wonder, why? What was she actually expecting from him? This is madness, he thought to himself, as he pulled his hands away from hers. She knew the outcome of her confession was going to be like this, but still, she went ahead and confessed her feelings. This is all a big mistake on her part. Now, he’s never going to speak to her again.“Amy. You can’t be in love with me.” Bryan eventually said, after staying silent for a long time.“But, I am” Amy replied, looking straight into his eyes.He could tell from her eyes that she was saying the truth, and was also begging him to believe her, but he couldn’t. Why in the world would Amy fall in love with him? He never gave her any reason to
Forbidden Love 28
This was like a dream come true for Amy. Bryan, the only man she desires, the love of her life, her heart beat, was kissing her. His kiss was so much different from that of Kyle. His kiss was passionate, it was filled with love and longing, like he too wanted it.It wasn’t clear to Amy if she was in one of her dreams or reality, but she didn’t want this moment to end. She wanted to savour the moment and cherish it, for as long as she lived. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss, expressing her own emotions through the kiss.After what felt like an eternity, they both reluctantly pulled away from the kiss to catch their breath.Amy didn’t remove her arms that she had earlier placed around Bryan’s neck because she didn’t want to wake up from this beautiful dream.Bryan gently rested his forehead against Amy’s and slowly opened his eyes. Amy’s eyes were still closed, and he found it beautiful.“I can’t say what you want me to say, because… I love you, Amy… Unlike you

“Hey there, girlfriend!” Mandy’s cheery voice greeted her best friend.“Hey, Mandy. How have you been?”“I am nothing without you.”Amy smiled at her best friend’s reply. She could tell Mandy was pouting.“I miss my best friend” Mandy continued, making Amy feel a bit guilty.“What about Jack?” She decided to ask.“He is great, but… No one can take your place, you know that, right?”“I’m sorry, Mandy.” She finally apologized because she understands how Mandy is feeling. She feels the same way too, but it’s too late to do anything about it.“It’s okay, I understand. I wouldn’t be here either if Jack didn’t decide to apply this year… I don’t want him out of my sight.” Her best friend replied, whispering the last part.“I heard that, babe.” Amy heard Jack say in the background.“Oh my God, Mandy, he heard you!” She laughed.“Don’t pay any attention to him… He’s lucky we’re already living together, I would’ve kicked him out of my room already.” Mandy said, earning a chuckle from her best f

After dinner, Amy couldn’t get some sleep, no matter how hard she tried. She closed her eyes for several minutes, hoping it would help her fall asleep, but nothing worked. Why can’t I fall asleep? She wondered, tossing and turning on her bed. After some minutes, she gave up trying, and got out of bed, heading for her dad’s bedroom. He was the only person who could help her when she was having trouble falling asleep. She only hopes he’s still awake, but she doubts that, since it’s already pass midnight.On reaching his bedroom door, she gave a gentle knock, not to be rude, incase he was still working.“Come in.” Her dad said from inside.She opened the door, and like she guessed, he was working, on his laptop.“Why are you still awake, princess?” Her dad asked.She could hear the concern in his voice.“I can’t sleep.” She quietly replied.“Come here, my love. Is something bothering you?”He immediately closed his laptop, and placed it on his nightstand before gesturing for Amy to join

Amy was browsing through her social media page when her phone began to ring. Her face lit up when she saw the caller ID, but she immediately composed herself before answering the call. “I’m mad at you.” She hastily said, not giving the caller the chance to speak. “I waited for a goodnight call last night or even a simple text, but I got nothing.” “Forgive me, beautiful. I had a lot on my plate yesterday.” Bryan quickly apologized. “And a simple goodnight was too much to say?” “I wasn’t trying to justify myself, princess. I know I acted badly and I take full responsibility for my actions. Please forgive me.” Amy was biting her fingers while smiling to herself. He was really falling for her act. If only he knew she wasn’t at all upset, rather she was feeling giddy inside just from hearing his husky voice. “Why didn’t you call? I couldn’t sleep last night.” She said with a pout, trying to sound sad. “I had a couple of meetings to attend to and after that, I had to go over some con

It was a Saturday morning, Amy was having breakfast with her dad. She kept stealing glances at her dad, going over the story she made up in her head, hoping he won’t get suspicious.‘You can do this, Amy.’ She mentally said to herself, praying she doesn’t blow her cover.“Um. Dad?” She began, picking up a slice of bacon from her plate with her fork and feeding it to her dad.“Princess, you’ve barely touched your meal.”“I’m on a diet.” She lied, when in reality she was a bit hungry. She couldn’t touch her meal because she was nervous. She felt her dad would be able to read through her.“Since when are you on a diet?” Her dad asked with an amused look on his face.“Since this morning.”“Oh really!... And what’s the reason for this sudden decision?”“I, uh. I noticed I’ve become too lazy to move around and I don’t like it.”“I have a better option.”“What’s that?”“You can make use of the gym… Seriously, Amy. I’m sure you don’t even know what the place looks like.”Amy grimaced the mome

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into a month.Amy was getting ready to go back to college, for her final year. She had spent the last two weeks of her summer break at her mom’s place, so she could be with her baby brother whom she had missed so terribly. She enjoyed her time with him, as he helped her forget about her problems throughout her stay there. But, now she was back to reality and she hated it.Amy’s phone started to ring on the bed where she had placed it, while she stood before her mirror, wrapping her hair in a ponytail. A smile crept up her face as soon as she saw the caller ID.“Hey, Mandy” she greeted her best friend, who was already done with college.“Happy birthday!” Mandy cheered from the other end.Although it was her birthday, Amy wasn’t one bit excited by it. This was by far the worst birthday of her life, and she’d never forget it.“I’d rather not be reminded of that.” she confessed with a frown, sitting on her bed, and picking up her phone which was pr

A knock on Henry’s study door tore his attention away from his laptop. Ever since Amy’s suicide incident, Henry has been working from home. He couldn’t risk anything happening to his daughter again.“Come in.” he said with a stern voice.In came one of the newly employed bodyguards.“Sorry to disturb you, sir, but I’m here to give you a report.” The blonde buff bodyguard said.“And what is that?” Henry asked.“There’s a man outside who insists on seeing you.”Henry didn’t need to ask who it was. He slammed his laptop shut and took long strides out of his study.Amy was staring out her bedroom window, like she was expecting someone. She has been doing that for the past two weeks, hoping to see the man she loves drive through that gate. As if her prayers were heard, she noticed Bryan’s black Lamborghini driving into the compound. She began smiling to herself, as tears of joy blurred her vision. She wiped her eyes and ran out of the bedroom.“What the hell are you doing here?! I thought

“Where did I go wrong as your father? What did I ever do to deserve such betrayal?!”“This isn’t about you, dad. This is entirely about me. I love Bryan!”“I don’t want to hear you utter those words again!”Henry and his daughter, Amy were having a shouting match in their living room, after returning from Bryan’s place.“I can’t help it, dad. Bryan is the only man I want to be with!”Henry raised his hand to strike his daughter in a fit of anger, but stopped himself midway. It took ever fiber in him to stop himself from actually hitting his daughter.Amy, who flinched away in fear thinking that her dad was going to hit her regained her composure when she realized that he couldn’t do it.“Why don’t you do it, huh? You didn’t think twice before hitting your best friend.”“Amy!”Henry loves his daughter so much and would never do anything to hurt her, but at the moment she was pushing him too far and he didn’t like it one bit, because knowing the kind of person he was, he could do someth

“How could you?!” Sean roared, interrupting Bryan and Henry’s discussion. He was jogging down the stairs with Amy following closely behind.The best friends stared at their children with clear confusion written all over their face.Why is Sean so angry and why is Amy chasing after him?“How could you do this to me, your own son?!” Sean yelled in anger, pointing at his father.“What are you talking about?” Bryan asked in confusion, standing up from his seat.“Sean, I beg you, please don’t say anything.” Amy pleaded once again.“Amy, what is this about?” It was now Henry’s turn to ask his daughter what was going on, because the sudden change of emotions in the atmosphere was deeply alarming.“You are supposed to be my father. You are supposed to have my back, to support me. But what do you do? You betray me and everyone around you!”“Okay, okay. Sean, will you please calm down and tell me where all of this is coming from?”Henry placed his hand on Sean’s chest to stop him from taking an

Amy opened her bedroom door and was surprised to see Kyle. She wasted no second in engulfing him in a hug. Kyle sighed in relief and returned the hug. He was scared Amy wouldn’t want to see him, that was why he didn’t have the courage to face her when she was in the hospital.“I missed you too.” he said into the hug,not planning on letting go anytime soon.Amy didn’t think she’d see Kyle again after he left the state, because he was deeply hurt when he left. She was excited when her mom told her that Kyle was in town, but deep down she was scared that he wouldn’t want to be anywhere near her.“I thought you were still mad at me.” Amy mumbled against his chest, enjoying his familiar scent.“I was never angry at you, Amy… I was rather angry at myself for not saying anything sooner.” he honestly replied.“I’m sorry for hurting your feelings. It was never my-““Hey, look at me. You did nothing wrong, okay?”Amy nodded while biting her lower lip.They both needed this closure after the pai
