Fake apology

2021-02-21 21:40:41The moment the first light of dawn colored the sky with a bleak golden glow, Terry was driving Carmen to work.
He had the car at full speed because there weren't many vehicles on the road at such an early hour, where the darkness was just giving chance to the light.
Subconsciously, he kept eyeing Carmen through the V-mirror while wondering why she had him driving her to the office this early. But he couldn't come up with a reason, so he let go of his thoughts and concentrated on the road.
Carmen had noticed his stares, but she didn't pay it no mind. Instead, she laid her head against the window glass as she appreciated the breathtaking beauty of the sky.
However, she found it hard to do because sleep kept bugging her, and she could barely keep her eyes open. At that moment, Carmen regretted staying up late, thinking about whether she should move to another house and getting up early to avoid seeing Dax.
After a sixteen minutes drive, they finally

Carmen lost focus when she heard her office door opened, so she gazed away from the documents on her desk and stared at her secretary.“What's the update?” Carmen mumbled.Chester hesitated for some time because he didn't know if Carmen wanted to hear the report he got and he also didn't want to upset her since he was a bit afraid of her temper.Carmen impatiently stared at him, and when Chester noticed the frustration in her gaze, he realized that he had to say something.“Miss Robert passed the interview.” Chester hastily replied with a bit of sympathy in his voice.“Well, good for her,” Carmen mumbled.Chester abruptly giggling as he stared at his boss in shock. But when he saw that her remark was not a joke, his smile became awkward.“What? But she… I mean you and her… Are you okay with her being here?” Chester mumbled.“Why not? She has a great educa

Time flew by quicker than Chester expected. However, when Friday morning arrived, he had a bright smile on his face the moment he saw Carmen approaching his desk.“Good morning, boss.” Chester brightly said.“You looked bubbly this morning,” Carmen replied as she walked past him.Chester’s eyes then lit up when he noticed that his boss slightly smiled at him before walking away, and that had his heart racing.He then jumped up to his feet and followed Carmen into her office.‘She finally warmed up to me. Yes! Yes!’ Chester excitedly thought as he waited for his boss to acknowledge his presence.Carmen then looked away from her phone and stared at Chester, and in that instant, she immediately felt lost of words when she noticed him giggling to himself.“What are you happily smiling about?” Carmen asked.“Uh?” Chester absentmindedly mumbled.“Is

Carmen was laying in bed awake when the first light of day peep through her room window. She then rolled over to the left to avoid the sunlight.“It's finally here,” Carmen mumbled.After waiting and preparing for two days, she finally felt confident to snatch the Davis company out of their hands.The moment the clock hit six-thirty, Carmen was already out of bed and heading to the bathroom. Then by six-fifty, she came out with a bath towel wrapped around her body.Before seven-fifteen, Carmen was already dressed in a white luxury suit with black heels.She then painted her lips with red lipstick, designed her eyelids with smokey makeup, wore diamond jewelers, and styled her hair in a classic updo.“Perfect,” Carmen mumbled with a smile as she gazed at herself in the dresser mirror before grabbing her purse and leaving her room.It was exactly seven-thirty when Carmen walked out of her house.&ldqu

Liam could see hate in Carmen's eyes as she stared at him, and yet he could also see the deep pain she tried to hide behind her cold expression.“Mrs. Smith, I don't understand your statement,” Levi said with a stiff smile on his face.“What part of ‘you are fire’ don't you understand?” Carmen hastily asked.“But… But this is my company.”“The last time I check, I hold the majority shares in this company, and I find you incompetent for the position that you hold, so you have to leave.”Levi gazed at the others. However, no one spoke on his behalf, and for a while, the conference room was silent. Then he intensely gazed at Scott Johnson.“Even though you hold a majority of the shares in the company, don't you think it is disrespectful to fire the chairman of the company without the other board members' involvement.” Scott abruptly and aggressively intoned with a bit of fear in his eyes.“Mr. Johnson, that's some bold attitude you have t

Liam had just taken a sip of his morning coffee as he sat in the dining room staring blankly at the window with his sight focused on the morning light slowly creeping into the room when he overheard a loud bang on his front door.He hesitated for a second with pure anger in his eyes before gently placing his mug on the table. Then he stood up and headed to answer the door.When Liam did, his eyes widened in shock as his mother pushed him aside and walked straight past him, causing Liam to lose his balance for a second.“Get dressed now!” Lina said as she marched further into the hallway.“Mom!” Liam called out while following after Lina with shock on his face.“We have to plead for Carmen's forgiveness!”“Mom!”“She will take you back! I know it! That girl loves you! We just have to pursued her a bit!”“Woman!”Liam's voice was so loud, so thunderous, that his mother stopped dead in her tracks. Liam then gently

Footsteps of ten security guards boots echoed in the lobby as they raced towards Carmen.“Yes, Boss.” The head of the guard shouted.Then he paused and waited on Carmen’s command.“Please escort Mrs. Davis and her son out of the building.” Carmen coldly stated.“Liam was wrong! But it's also that witch's fault. Please, don't punish him anymore. What you are doing is tearing my family apart!” Lina cried.“Mom! Stop it!” Liam roared with rage burning in his eyes.The building got absolutely quiet, and in the midst of the silence, Carmen’s eyes were directly focused on Liam as she struggled to understand his anger and the source of it.For a brief moment, Carmen could see vulnerability in his gaze, and at this point, she almost felt pity towards him. Then the image of Ali hugging onto Liam's body flashed across her mind, and that's all it took to get her heart cold.“Mr. Davis please leave with your mother. This is a place of work, not a

The hall of an extravagant restaurant was quite packed on this particular night as five years old Liam sat obediently at table seven with his mother seated by his side.“Mom, are we not going to order?I am hungry.” Liam pitifully mumbled with his hand pressed tightly against his stomach.“Stop being ungrateful. You ate instant noodles this morning.” Lina said while trying to not lose her patient in such a fancy place.“Yeah. But that was this morning.It's now dark, and I haven't eaten anything since then.”“Stop being a brat or else you can forget about eating for two days.”Liam’s tiny hands held tightly onto his stomach everytime it grumbled because he was afraid that his mother would hear it and

After reviewing the file that Hunter sent her, Carmen took in a deep breath before leaning back in her seat. Then she clicked on her mouse and switched her computer off.When the screen became dark, Carmen could see her reflection staring back at her, and at that moment, the tears that she had been resisting came trailing down her cheeks.But after a second passed, Carmen angrily wiped her tears, then her expression became numb again as she stared back at her reflection.“He could have told me it all! He could have been open with me! He could have let me help him! But he chose not to. So none of this concerns me.” Carmen frustratingly mumbled.With so much running through her head, she leaned back in her seat and gazed directly at the ceiling before slowly shutting her eyes.Carmen didn't know how long she had been napping for, but when she opened her eyelids, Chester was staring at her with concern in his expression.“How long have you been here

He was never mine Epilogue
When Freddie brought the car to a stop, he stared back, saw that Liam was sleeping, and faintly smiled as he thought, 'Sir just arrived in the country from a business trip, and yet he didn't hesitate when Miss Smith asked him to pick up Ethan. He really cares about young sir.'Realizing that the car wasn't moving, Liam raised his eyelids and asked, "We are here?""Yes, sir," Freddie said.Without uttering another word, Liam got down from the car and headed into the school building.When he got to Ethan's class and his teacher saw him, she smiled and said, "Ethan, your father is here."Keeping silent, Ethan walked over to Liam and mumbled, "Hello,"With a smile on his face, Liam sighed and thought, 'I have been in your life for one year now, and you won't call me 'father.' How long will it take to make you open up to me and believe that I'm not going to leave you.'Afterward, he extended his hand to Ethan, and not hesitating, he

The sound of her ringtone caused Carmen to set the pancake box on the kitchen counter. Then she picked up the phone, answered the call, and said, "Hey, mom." "Are you okay?" Mrs. Smith worriedly asked from the other end of the line. Confused by her mother's question, Carmen calmly uttered, "Why wouldn't I be?" "Well, Ummm… We were told that Ali was at the company yesterday?" "Seriously, you guys are still keeping tabs on me!" "No! Of course, not… Well, okay, yes we are. But not in the way that you think. Your dad and I were just checking in with Tracy this morning to find out how your first day went." At that moment, Carmen heard Mr. Smith say, "I told her not to call you!" Giggling faintly, the slight anger she felt slowly faded, and she said, "It's fine. We handle the situation pretty well, I think." "We?" Mrs. Smith asked, sounding curious. "Liam and I." "You guys are a

Keeping his eyes fixed on Carmen and Ethan as they stood by the car door, waiting on him, Liam walked over to them.When he was a step away from them, he stopped. Then Carmen met his eyes and said, "Ethan wanted us to wait out here for you.""Thank you, bud," Liam uttered, looking down at his son.Then he focused his gaze back at Carmen, and her face still bore no expression, making it hard for him to guess what she was thinking or how she felt.A few minutes later, as Freddie drove them out of the parking lot, the car was silent and continued to be even after he got on the main road.That bothered Ethan a lot, and he looked up at Liam on his left for a few seconds, and then looked to his right at Carmen before mumbling "I made a friend at school today.""Really! Bud, that's amazing!" Liam said with a look of pride in his eyes."Yeah, baby. What's your friend's name?" Carmen asked, unable to stop smiling.With an excited

The office was silent as Carmen stared coldly at Ali, wondering what she would say to her.At last, she lowered her brows and said, "We are not that close, so let's save the chit chat, and you can excuse yourself and leave.""Oh come on, Carm. Don't tell me you are still holding onto past grudges." Ali cunningly said, sluggishly relaxing back on the seat.Although Carmen didn't know where the conversation was heading, the last thing she wanted was to continue it.So she looked straight into Ali's eyes and said, "We are not doing this.""Doing what?" Ali asked with an innocent expression."I k

"Ding Dong!"Withdrawing his hand from on the doorbell, Liam waited patiently for a couple of seconds.Then he reached for the bell again, but the door suddenly opened, and Carmen stood in the doorway, staring at him."I hope I'm not too early," Liam mumbled, drawing his hand to his side."No. You are on time." Carmen said as she stepped aside for him to enter.After walking into the hallway, Liam gazed back and asked, "Where's Ethan?""He's having his breakfast," Carmen said, shutting the door.Afterward, she and Liam headed into the dining room together.When they arrived, and Liam sight rested on his son, his face lit up, and he excitedly uttered, "Hey bud. Ready for your first day of school?"Pouting, Ethan looked away from his cereal, stared at Carmen, and mumbled, "Mommy, why can't you be the one to take me to school.""We talked about this, honey. Your dad doesn't have much to do today, so he's

"Mommy," Ethan called out, looking at Carmen before staring down at her vibrating phone.Then he gently shook her arm until she finally raised her lashes and stared at him.Still feeling dizzy, a soft smile crept on her lips as she stared at her son's grey eyes and long lashes."What is it, baby?" Carmen whispered."Your phone is ringing," Ethan mumbled, drawing back on the bed as his mother sat up.It took her a second to fully awake. Then she stared down at her phone, picked it up, and answered the call."Good morning, mother," Carmen said, raffling Ethan's hair as he giggled faintly."I know it's early. But I and your father was discussing, and we thought since you have spent four months on that end, you are ready to take over the SM branch there." Mrs. Smith's voice echoed into her ear.Keeping silent, Carmen rested back on the headboard and thought, 'Four months? It's been that long already?'"What did Carm say?" Sh

For a while, Lina stared at her son, wondering if he was serious or not."I ready don't want to repeat what I said," Liam mumbled, gazing away from her. "You need to leave.""I am your mother," Lina whispered, clutching her fist."Remember the days in the darkroom, when I was screaming to be let out, I needed you to be my mother then or when Anthony and Levi left bruises on my skin and made me bleed, I wanted you to be my mother…""Liam…""There were so many instances that are needed you so desperately to realize that I am your son and put me first! But you didn't!""I'm…""I'm not going to be like you, mother. My child comes first even before the woman that brought me into this world, so you need to leave!"Fighting back tears, Carmen clapped her hand over her trembling lips as she stared at Liam with a touch of sadness in her eyes."I know my wrongs." Lina cried, not knowing what else to say.

Staring coldly at his grandfather, Liam scowled before gazing at his mother and saying, "It was supposed to be just you!""Well, when father found out that I was seeing Ethan, he wanted to meet him too, so he flew over to me for us to come together," Lina said, smiling at her son.However, that didn't change Liam's expression, and his eyes got colder the more he stared at his grandfather."Are you going to let us in?" Anthony asked, scowling at his grandson.The atmosphere was intense, and Carmen felt it as she approached Liam at the door."Mr. Davis?" Carmen mumbled, losing control over her expression for a second and frowning.Then she quickly curved her lips into a smile and calmly called out, "Liam, are you not going to step back?"Taking in a deep breath, Liam continued to give his grandfather an icy stare for a few minutes before allowing himself to step away from the door.Everything in him hated to see Anthony and
