Amy got into her room and immediately locked the door behind her. She hit her head against the door three times to express how angry she was at herself. She made a complete fool of herself back there and it was all thanks to her stupid hormones.When she heard Bryan’s voice, it was like everything inside her became cautious. She suddenly became aware of the fact that she hasn’t showered that morning and was just wearing her pajamas, not one of the best ones, if she might add. To top it all, she was stuffing herself with her breakfast.‘So embarrassing.’ She thought to herself, as she walked towards her bed. She slumped on her bed face flat and groaned into her pillow in frustration.How was she going to face Bryan tonight after such an awkward encounter this morning?Amy decided to distract her thoughts by giving her mom a call, as she hasn’t told her that she was coming over. She reached for her phone on the nightstand and dialled her mom’s number. After two rings, her mom answered t
Amy said goodbye to her dad after giving him a goodbye kiss on the cheek and asking him to take good care of himself. She drove off in her Porsche, heading for a designer’s boutique to get a dress for her date. After shopping, she drove to a beauty salon to get her hair and nails done. When she was through with that, she stopped by a mall to get shortbread cookies for her little brother, Carl before driving straight to her mom’s house.Amy arrived at her mom’s place at exactly 3:00pm. She was immediately welcomed by a very hyper Carl.“Someone’s in a really good mood.” She said as she lifted her brother off the ground.“Gosh! You’re even bigger than the last time!” She exclaimed as she walked into the living room where her mom was seated on one of the couch.“Mom, what are you feeding this little angel?”Carl giggled at his sister’s question and held her even tighter.“You see, he’s gonna fall off any minute.” She joked, feigning tiredness.“You and I are gonna go on a diet.” Amy wigg
“You look beautiful.” Paula said to her daughter with a proud smile, as they both stood in front of the mirror.“You think so, mom?” Amy nervously asked, checking herself properly in the mirror to see if she missed anything.“Look at me, sweetie.” Her mom held her in place.“He’s going to be at loss for words when he sees you… Whoever he is.”Amy laughed at her mom’s last statement, and it helped ease her nervousness a bit.“Thanks mom. I promise I’ll reveal his identity when I’m ready.”“I hope it won’t be when he breaks your heart.”“Mom!”“I was only joking.”Amy’s phone beeped, getting her attention.“I guess that’s prince charming.” Paula said with a knowing smile. Amy nodded in reply while opening his text.My chauffeur is almost there. I’m so sorry I couldn’t pick you up myself. I wish the circumstances were different. Can’t wait to see you. Amy wore a sad smile after reading the text, but it’s okay. She consented to this, knowing fully well the challenges and consequences tha
“I can’t believe you booked the entire restaurant on our first date!” Amy couldn’t hide the surprise and excitement in her voice. She didn’t expect that her first date would be this special.“I wanted it to be memorable.” Bryan replied, taking a sip from his glass of water.They were currently having their appetizer. It was Linguine and Prawns with Cognac truffle cream.“Thank you.” She smiled at his reply, tucking her hair behind her ear.Although Amy was acting calm on the outside, she was nervous on the inside. This is her first date, she doesn’t want to say or do anything that could ruin it, that is why she is being careful with her words and actions. She has already embarrassed herself enough in the morning, he doesn’t need to see more.‘Stop filling your head with past events.’ Her subconscious said to her and she immediately heeded the advice, deciding to enjoy her date.“This is awkward.” Amy suddenly said with a chuckle.“How so?” Bryan asked, genuinely interested in her sudd
Bryan’s black Lamborghini was currently parked in front of Paula’s house. They were both inside the car. Neither of them wanted the date to come to an end, even though it was already past midnight. “I had a lovely time with you.” Amy said, smiling at their entwined fingers. “Me too. I hope we can do this again.” Bryan replied, kissing her knuckles. “Sure.” She smiled and they fell into a comfortable silence. “Do you have plans for tomorrow?” She then asked. “Missing me already?” He joked. “No silly! Just wanted to know what you’ll be doing.” “I thought you already know that.” “Bryan!” “I’m sorry, my love… Since it’s already past midnight, I’ll try to get some work done.” “Are you being serious?” Amy asked with a raised eyebrow. “Well, you wanted to know what I’ll be doing.” “Aren’t you gonna get some sleep?” “No. I have a lot to do.” “You always have a lot to do… Please, try to get some sleep. For me?” She pouted, batting her eyelashes at him. Bryan pretended like he was
“What the hell was that out there?!” Paula’s voice frightened Amy, as she wasn’t expecting to see her mom awake in the living room.“Mom, I-I- I thought you’re asleep.” She stuttered.“That doesn’t answer my question, Amy.” There was anger in her mom’s voice, Amy could tell, even though she was trying to sound calm.“Bryan was your date?!” Paula asked in disbelief, raising her voice a bit.Never in all her wildest dreams did she imagine her daughter with Bryan. This is the greatest shock of her entire life.Paula was concerned about Amy as this was her first date and wanted to know if everything turned out well, so she decided to wait up for her. She became worried when the clock hit midnight but didn’t want to come to any conclusions or make any sudden moves, so she waited a while longer. Just as she was about to dial Amy’s number to find out what was keeping her, she heard the roar of a sports car. When she looked through the window, she saw the car parked in front of her house. She
Amy lay her little brother on the bed and tucked him in properly. After that, she went into her closet to get a pajamas to change into. She decided not to shower and just wipe off her makeup, go into the bathroom to brush her teeth and put on her pajamas. When she was done, she dropped her dress in the laundry basket and joined Carl on the bed.“Did you have a nightmare?” Amy asked her little brother while bringing him close to herself, so they would cuddle up together. Carl shook his head in reply, wrapping his small arms around his big sister.“Why were you scared, then?” She enquired.“You and mom were fighting.” He mumbled.Amy was taken aback by his reply. She didn’t know they were that loud.“What did you hear, baby?” She softly asked to know if he heard everything or most of the argument.“Not much. Just heard you two yelling at each other.”Amy breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he couldn’t make out anything. That is quite a relief because he was still too young to be expose
“I want these documents ready by the end of today."“Yes sir”“I will be in my office during lunch break and I don’t want to be disturbed. So, I want you to get me steak sandwich and a cup of cappuccino from the restaurant just across the street.” Bryan said to his secretary, handing her his credit card.“Okay, sir.” His secretary replied, collecting the documents he asked her to organize.“You may go now.” He then said, dismissing his secretary.As soon as his secretary closed his office door, he looked through his schedule to know what next to do. After looking through it, he reached for his phone and was about calling the manager in charge of his company’s branch in Paris, when he saw an incoming Skype call on his laptop, it was Amy. Just seeing her name on his laptop screen brought a genuine smile on his face.Bryan and Amy have been to several other dates after their first date, as they are currently three months in their relationship. Although, it has been difficult getting loca
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
Henry and his daughter were spending the weekend at Bryan’s house. Amy didn’t want to go at first because she didn’t want to encounter Bryan yet again, but her dad was able to convince her.Henry didn’t like the fact that Amy was always locked up in her bedroom. He wanted her to be herself again, that was why he suggested they go spend the weekend at Bryan’s place. Maybe Sean will be able to help Amy return to her bubbly self once again. He only hopes it turns out that way.Amy and Sean were currently in his bedroom, after having lunch with both their fathers. Amy was resting her weight against Sean, who was sitting behind her, with his back against the headboard. She was trying to stop herself from laughing at the funny video they just finished watching on Sean’s phone.While Amy was concentrating on the phone in her hand, Sean was lost in his own world. He was ecstatic to have Amy at his house, in his bedroom, on his bed, not to mention in an intimate position. He didn’t think she’d
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
‘What is he doing here?... Why did he let his little sister talk him into coming here?’ Kyle wondered, staring at the mansion in front of him.How will Amy react when she finds out about this meeting?Will she forgive him for interfering in her personal life?Should he turn around now and forget that he ever had this conversation with Mandy? Or should he wait a bit longer and talk to Amy in person, to know if she’ll be okay with him meeting with her ex.But he couldn’t help it, he was also inquisitive to see this person in question and know why he abandoned Amy at such a crucial time when he was this close.Taking a deep breath, Kyle climbed out of his car and started his way towards the front door. He rang the doorbell, took a step back and waited for the occupant of the mansion to answer the door.Thinking about it, this mansion looks so familiar, like he has been here before. As Kyle was trying to figure out his connection to this surrounding area, the front door suddenly opened, r
“Why in God’s name did you tell her about the pregnancy?!” Paula yelled in anger.“How was I supposed to know that she had no clue she was pregnant?!” Henry yelled back. It wasn’t his intention to yell at his ex-wife, but he couldn’t help it.His daughter is currently being attended to by the doctors because she went into a state of shock after hearing that she was pregnant, and it’s all his fault. He shouldn’t have mentioned anything concerning the pregnancy, but how was he supposed to know that she’d react the way she did? He was only trying to be a supportive and understanding father, now look where it has gotten him.Mandy who was excited to come see her best friend didn’t expect to hear that Amy had gone into a state of shock. Why does her best friend have to go through all these painful and traumatic experience, all in the name of love?Why couldn’t her relationship be a less complicated one?What has Amy done to deserve so much suffering? Why her?It could’ve been anyone but he
Paula is currently in the room with Amy. She was the first to arrive the hospital as she was anxious to see her daughter. Kyle decided not to go into the hospital room with Paula because he didn’t want to overwhelm Amy with his presence, even though the doctor said she was out of danger. He promised to give Amy a visit as soon as she was discharged from the hospital, which Paula didn’t object. Kyle asked Paula to give Amy a bouquet of white roses and a get well card he got for her on his behalf before saying goodbye.Amy, on the other hand was excited when she learnt that Kyle was in town, but her excitement didn’t last long as it was soon replaced with a long face.“Honey, what’s wrong?” Paula asked, her voice laced with worry and concern.“Mom, I need to see Bryan.” Amy said in a quiet voice.Paula couldn’t believe it. After all that happened, she still wants to see the man that put her in this present state.“Amy, you can’t be serious… You’re here because of that jerk and you still
