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
It was 11:00pm. Amy was exhausted from crying, but at the same time she couldn’t stop crying. The tears kept flowing freely down her face.How did her life get to this?Why can’t her relationship be like everyone else?Why is her life so complicated?All these thoughts kept depressing her even more. She can’t imagine herself getting married to a guy she barely knows. She needs to talk to her dad.With that conclusion, Amy wiped her tears and stood up from the floor, where she was previously seated and headed for her dad’s bedroom. On getting there, she knocked on the door twice but got no response, so she opened the door and walked into the room. When she got inside, she realized that her dad wasn’t in the room.‘Where could he be?’ she wondered as she left the room.She looked for him in his study, but he wasn’t there either. She then headed for the living room as she couldn’t think of anywhere else, since it was already late.As she got to the living room, she noticed a bottle of vo
“Was this the reason why you abandoned me at the hotel?” Amy asked the moment the call went through, but Bryan said nothing which answered her question.She closed her eyes as she was overcome with emotion.“Why did you keep it from me? Why the hell did you do it?!” She screamed into the phone, bursting in tears.“Amy, I’m sorry.” Bryan eventually said from the other end.There was sadness in his voice, but she could care less how he was feeling right now. He claims to be in love with her, yet he couldn’t fight for their love. He just agreed to his best friend’s decision like she meant nothing to him.Thinking about it, does she really mean anything to him? Amy thought to herself.Does he even love her at least a bit, or has she been fooling herself this entire time?“Why didn’t you fight for me? Why didn’t you fight for us?” She angrily asked, as she came to the realization that Bryan may not actually love her like he claims.“Henry’s mind was already made up. Whatever I would’ve s
Several days after the dinner incident, when Amy was less agitated, she gave Sean a call and apologized for her behavior towards him the other day. She explained to him that she was really upset and had thought he had a hand in the engagement, that was why she lashed out at him. She asked if they could put that night’s incident behind them and continue being friends.Sean agreed to it immediately. He felt relieved knowing that Amy still wanted to talk to him after that night, even though he was sad about the part where she said they could continue being just friends. He was willing to wait and go as slow as she wanted, hoping that maybe one day Amy would give him a chance.“Oh no. I’m not going in there.” Amy said while shaking her head dismissively.“C’mon. It’s not that bad. It’s actually fun.” Sean replied. His eyes were bright and excited.“For you, not me.” she countered, not buying the idea at all. Her last experience was one she’d never forget.Sean and Amy are currently seated
It was pretty late at night, probably almost midnight. Bryan was still in his office, trying to distract his thoughts from the last conversation he had with Henry over a week ago by overworking himself. Ever since his best friend told him about the promise he made to his late wife, he has been distraught. He barely ate, he couldn’t sleep, he hardly concentrated during working hours, it was like his entire being was having a meltdown.So, in order not to seem weak and vulnerable in front of his employees, he feigns anger during the day and buries himself in work at night when he finds it hard to get some sleep. That is why he is currently the only one in his company building, besides the security officers.A furious knock on his office door tore his attention away from his laptop. Apart from his son, his chauffeur and the company security officers, no one else knows that he’s in his office.So, who is this uninvited guest?And why show up at this hour? Bryan thought to himself as he st
After their love making session, they didn’t bother getting dressed as they both lay on the bed, enjoying each other’s company.Amy was listening to Bryan’s heartbeat while tracing imaginary patterns on his chest. Every urge she felt earlier had vanished because Bryan satisfied her every desire.“Bryan?” She quietly called, breaking the comfortable silence.“Mhmm”“I think dad is dead serious about the engagement. He isn’t changing his mind no matter how hard I try… What are you going to do about it, because I don’t want to be forced to go through with the wedding.” she placed her chin on Bryan’s chest, gazing at his handsome face.Bryan, who was enjoying the comfortable silence because it helped take his mind off things was suddenly brought back to reality by Amy’s question. He took a deep breath and replied,“I don’t know.” before carefully removing her weight from his body, so he could sit up.“You don’t know? Is that what you’re saying?” Amy asked in disbelief.He could hear the i
Sean felt bad for what he did. He ran after Amy, but he was too late, as he couldn’t find her anywhere outside the nightclub. He took out his phone from his back pocket and quickly dialed Amy’s number to apologize for his actions. Her phone kept ringing and ringing, but she wasn’t answering.“Shit!” Sean cursed, rushing towards his car. He didn’t want to give up hope, so he continued calling Amy, praying she’d eventually pick up.He had messed up. He had messed up big time. Now he has lost whatever chances he had of making Amy his.While driving, Sean’s side eye caught a glimpse of something that looks like Amy’s purse on the passengers seat. He turned to look at the seat properly and indeed Amy’s purse was there. That means her phone was here all along. To confirm his suspicion, he parked his car at the side of the road and opened the purse.Where could she have gone to without her phone? He wondered, starting the car again and heading to her dad’s place.“Sean, why are you alone?
Amy couldn’t believe it, for three days straight Bryan hasn’t called. Why is he giving her the cold shoulder? Why does he treat her this way? She has been trying to reach him, but it keeps going to voicemail. Is he avoiding her? Or is he actually busy? Sometimes, she swears she doesn’t understand the man she’s dating.Amy waited for her dad to leave for work before getting dressed in a black off shoulder long sleeve shirt and blue denim trousers with black ankle boots. Rather than drive in one of her cars, Amy decided to call an Uber.On her arrival at Bryan’s company, she didn’t find his secretary on her desk, so she opened the door to his office.“What is going on here?” She irritatedly asked the moment she walked into the office.Since when does a secretary’s job entails that she helps her boss put on his jacket?Is this why he hasn’t been picking her calls?Does this scarecrow of a secretary have something to do with his recent behavior? Bryan was surprised to see Amy in his of
