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

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
