For almost a week after their last conversation, Sean kept apologizing to Amy for his past behavior. He visited her everyday and tried to get her to forgive him. Amy whose mind was already made up, felt herself softening towards him as the days went by. His apologies seemed too sincere to ignore. If he says he’s sorry, who was she not to forgive him? She decided to put the past behind her and eventually forgave him.They spent the following week taking a tour around the city. She took him to the SAP center stadium first, where they watched a hockey game. Amy wasn’t a hockey fan, but she definitely enjoyed the tasty burgers at the arena. After that, they went to the oldest neighborhood in San Jose, the San Pedro market square. Sean thought the place was amazing, as one could find any type of culinary delight there, from Italian to Asian and Cuban, just name your choice. By the time they left the place, they were stuffed.The next day, Amy took Sean to her favorite place. The Municipal
Sean and Amy went out to have lunch because Sean said he was extremely bored with staying indoors. While they had lunch, Sean told Amy about himself, what his life is like in New Jersey.Amy was surprised to learn that Sean still lives with his grandparents, he must adore them so much. She was also impressed when he told her that he already runs his own insurance company. He wasn’t so dumb after all.When they finished their meals, Sean suggested that they take a walk in the park close to the restaurant they had lunch because he wanted to spend more time with Amy. Her voice was like music to his ears and her smile lights up his entire day. He wouldn’t want to be anywhere except with her, that’s why he had to lie about being bored when in reality, he was supposed to be on the phone with his PA, who would relate to him the affairs of the company in his absence.He got them ice-cream from an ice-cream van as they made their way towards a bench in the park. They sat down and watched as ki
“Hey babe” Amy greeted Bryan with a hug as soon as he opened the door.Due to Sean’s presence, they couldn’t meet at Bryan’s place, so he booked a hotel room for them to meet.“Hey beautiful” Bryan replied, placing a quick kiss on Amy’s temple as he returned the hug.“I missed you so much.” Amy said, still not letting go of Bryan.“Me too.” Bryan whispered against her lips, tucking her hair behind her ear before connecting their lips for a sweet kiss.Gosh! Has he missed her soft plump lips. He ran his tongue over Amy’s lips to have access inside her mouth. Amy gave him entrance without delay, enjoying the gentle manner in which he kissed her.The kiss was passionate and filled with longing, but at the same time delicate, sending shivers down her spine. Amy didn’t want the kiss to end, as she has been counting down to this day but unfortunately it has to, so they could both catch their breath.Bryan slowly pulled away from the kiss, smiling at Amy who was pouting with a frown. He peck
“I’m doing this for me, Bryan. I want to have something I can call my own besides my dad’s companies.” it was now Amy’s turn to cut Bryan off.“That’s a brilliant idea and you have my support, but not with this company.”“And why is that?”“I don’t want you having a hard time.”Bryan couldn’t come out open and tell Amy that it would take quite a while and a lot of effort to go into competition with already existing companies.“I don’t get it. Isn’t that the point of starting up a company?”“Why are you really doing this?” He then asked when he realized that he couldn’t talk her out of it.“I just explained that to you.”“You know that’s not the whole truth.”It was moments like this that makes Amy hate the fact that Bryan knows her too well.“Fine… I’m doing this also because I believe in you.”“And?..”“And, I want you to prove to those cowards that you know what you’re doing.”“Is that all?” He asked with a knowing look. He could tell she still has something to say.“You’re excellen
Henry was watching the business news on TV in the living room, when the doorbell rang. He stood up to get the door and was surprised to see Sean at the door.“Sean?”“Hi” Sean greeted with a small smile.“You came alone?” Henry looked behind Sean like he was expecting to see someone there.“Yeah… Dad said he’d be working late, so I was home alone.” he knew Henry was expecting to see his best friend since they were supposed to meet this weekend.“He’ll probably be here tomorrow.” Sean added, knowing how the best friends always keep to their promise.“Come in.” Henry finally let him in.“Does this have anything to do with the current situation in his company?”Henry was concerned about his best friend. Bryan claims he has everything under control, but he still can’t help but worry.“I don’t know. He wouldn’t tell me anything.” Sean said with a shrug.Sean’s reply only means that Bryan hasn’t told him a thing. Henry then decided not to ask any further questions, so he doesn’t get worried
Amy was beyond angry. Why in the world would she wake up to find herself alone in the hotel room like she was some call girl? What was Bryan even thinking when he left her alone without any explanation? He didn’t think it proper to at least wake her up and tell her why he had to leave. She had waited for his call or text all through the weekend, but got nothing. This is insulting.Was he angry that she wanted to get herself involved in his business? But he was okay with it, so why the sudden change? She wondered, still staring at her phone.Mandy stirred beside Amy, before grudgingly opening her eyes.“Morning, girlfriend.” she mumbled, stretching herself awake.Amy spent the entire weekend at Mandy’s place because she knew she would encounter Bryan at her dad’s place. With how livid she was at the time, she didn’t think she would’ve been able to control herself.“Good morning, sleepy head." Amy replied with no enthusiasm.“Nothing yet?” Mandy asked, sitting up on the bed.Too sad t
Amy changed into a white short Ivory lace off shoulder bodycon dress.She put on a light makeup, and brushed her hair before heading downstairs. As soon as she approached the foot of the stairs, she heard her dad exchanging pleasantries with, Sean?What is Sean doing here?She walked towards the living room where the voices were coming from. As if her presence was sensed, they both turned to look at her.“Hey” she shyly greeted Sean with a wave.Rather than reply Amy’s greeting, Sean kept gaping at her, making her aware of her looks. Henry poked Sean’s side, so he would close his mouth.“I, uh. Hi” Sean said when he regained his composure.“Um, uh. How have you been?”“Great” Amy smiled, tucking her hair behind her ear to hide her nervousness.Sean’s stare was making her feel awkward, and why is he stuttering? It’s not like this is the first time he’s seeing her.Henry was staring from Amy to Sean, and back, mentally shaking his head at the clueless young adults. The door bell sudde
Henry’s announcement left Amy dumbfounded.What does her dad mean by engagement?What is all this about?When did he come up with such an absurd idea?This is seriously not happening.Amy was wrapped up in her own thoughts that she didn’t notice her mom and dad leaving the dinning room. She glanced at Sean and noticed he was wearing a surprised yet happy expression.Is he being serious right now?Is he actually happy about the both of them getting married?She finally found the courage to look at Bryan, who was already staring at her. For a moment, she thought she saw guilt in his eyes, but she was wrong. He showed no emotion whatsoever, causing her to feel extremely hurt and betrayed. She still couldn’t believe that Bryan didn’t object to the engagement.After almost three years of dating, he is okay with her getting married to his son?Does she really have no place in his heart?At that realization, Amy pushed back her chair and stood up. She stared at Bryan long and hard, trying he
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
