Zoey's Pov"What's wrong, dear? You don't like the food? I can make something else for you." Mom said, her eyes on me.It's been three days since I got this discharge from the hospital. Mom and Emma has been really supportive without asking questions, but that doesn't change anything in my life.It only makes it feel worst, and it makes it seem like they pitied me and I don't like it. How am I going to move on from everything if they keep treating me this way with pity?"Dear?""It's not the food mom." I said, not wanting to meet her gaze."Then what is it?" She asked.Should I tell her how I feel?!Maybe it will stop their pity towards me."If it's not the food, then what is it? You know you can always confide in us." Emma said, making me more upset."That's the thing!" I half yelled, hitting the table. "Zoey..""I hate all these pity I see in your eyes and voice! How do you guys expect me to move on when you all sound like this?!" I half yelled.They both stared at me like I've los
Zoey's Pov"You shouldn't have told Julian anything about my life or present condition!" I yelled at Emma.I am so pissed with her that I had to rush down home as soon as I closed from work. And lucky enough, she was at home."I had to! He is a changed person and wants to come back, and make things right again." Emma said."That doesn't mean you should go about telling strangers about my life!" I yelled."Julian is no stranger. He was your finacee!" Emma half yelled."He was! He was my finacee, making him a stranger!""You are overreacting, Zoey!""Overreacting, you say?!"Can you imagine her right now?!"Just calm down and listen, Zoey. You are in a bad shape, you are broken. You need to move on to heal, and he's the perfect person for that." Emma said, getting me more angry."What right do you have to make such decisions for me?!""Zoey..""You have no rights to make such decisions for me, no right!""I am your best friend, Zoey.""You are my best friend, and housemate. But that doe
Rowan's Pov"What's wrong with you, Rowan?! These past few days, all you do is drink your senses out! What's all these new behavior about?!" Gianna yelled as soon as she got into my room.I have been a complete mess these past few days. I do nothing but make myself drunk so I would stop my head from thinking about Zoey. When I shut my eyes to sleep, she appears in the curtains of my eyes. Making it so diffcult for me to sleep, so getting drunk do help me."Listen to me Rowan! Am getting sick and tired of your nonsense! You better pull yourself together for tomorrow's pre-wedding shoot, and get yourself ready for our wedding or we are done!" Gianna yelled, storming out of the room.How can I pull myself together when what it wants is Zoey, and I do not understand why?!Why is Zoey driving me crazy like this?!Why am I hurting inside because she isn't close to me?!Fuck!***"Get more closer to her." The photographer instructed me, which I obeyed."Then smile down at her with so much lo
Rowan's PovI made my way out of the room after sparing a last glance at my daughter. Making my way straight up to Gianna's room. Standing in front of her room, I made to open the door when her conversation got my attention."Yes babe, am sure of it. He is in love with Zoey. I told you I had a guy feeling that those two shared something. But I do not care, I will get my frame once I get married to him. Then end his life, and inherit everything for us." She said.I just froze on that spot after what I heard. She never loved me, all she wants is to kill me?!Oh my God!"We will start our future, and raise our family somewhere far. Just like we planned, my love." She said with a giggle.She never loved me, and she made me believe she did!I had to sacrifice my love to be with her, and all she was going to do is kill me?!I felt this anger rising up inside of me. I opened the door which gave her a fright, and her phone fell to the ground. She looked all tensed on seeing me, I stepped in.
Rowan's PovI glanced at the time for the sixth time now, and it says 12pm. But there are still no signs of Zoey. She was mearnt be here at the altar since 11am, I wonder what could be keeping her. Am starting to get all tensed."What could be the problem? Zoey hasn't arrived yet." I whispered to Emma's husband, Gerald who happens to be my best man."I do not know, but I will ask Emma." He whispered back.He calmly came down from the altar and went to where his wife is seated, next to Zoey's mom. He whispered into her ear, and she did same too. Looking all tensed. Suddenly the church doors went open, and Catherine was running in without Zoey.She looked all tensed and crying at the same time, it got me alerted. She ran till she was In front of the alter, then fell to her knees crying more. I rushed down to know what was wrong."What happened? Where is Zoey?" I asked, trying to be as calm as ever.She tried to speak but bursted out crying again, making me all tensed. "Say something a
Rowan's PovI do not know if the location Gianna had given me is correct or not. I mean, the location she had sent to me led me straight to a hill top in a deserted place.I can't even see her, or Zoey!I came down from my car to get a better view of my surroundings, and call Gianna to inform her that I have arrived at the same location she had sent. I brought out my phone and dialed her number, after two rings she picks."Turn to your left." She said as soon as she picked my call.I obeyed her and turned to the left, only to find Zoey in a very bad state and Gianna pointing a gun to her from behind. Terrified that my Zoey is being held by gun point, I ran towards her to save her."If you get any closer, I swear I will shoot!" Gianna yelled, making me stop few inches away from them.I didn't know this was Gianna's true nature! How did she become this version of herself?!"Please Gianna, let her go! This is between the both of us, she has nothing to do with it!" I yelled."True. So tru
Gianna's PovThe sun ray hitting my eyelids made me groan, it's interrupting my beautiful sleep. I turned to hide my face in Bryan's chest, but my hand touched the bed instead.I opened my eyes to see Bryan wasn't on bed. Where did he go? How is he up so early when he always has this habit of waking up late? I'll check what he's up to. I came down from bed and made my way to the bathroom, maybe he's taking is bath. I opened the bathroom door to see it empty, he isn't there. I made my way out of my room and head to the kitchen, maybe he's making breakfast.On entering the kitchen, he wasn't there too. Where could he be then?! Wait! Maybe he has gone for some morning jog.Oh well, I'll just freshen up and make breakfast since I fired my servant out of some foolish furstration. But, I need to call him and know what I'll be making for him.I went back to my room to grab my phone on the lamp stand, beside my bed. On grabbing my phone, I saw some well folded paper under the lamp. What pa
A MONTH ON.Zoey's PovStaring at myself in the mirror. I look so beautiful in my simple fitted wedding dress, and the flower bouquet on the dressing table. Today is finally the day I've been waiting for. Rowan thought it wise to let me recover after a month, then we will wed. We've been preparing for the wedding, with the help of my loved ones.Now, in a few minutes I will be joined forever with him. I am so happy and scared at the same time, I really do not want things to go bad like the last time. Knock!Knock!"Come in." I said, gazing at the door through the mirror.The door went open and Emma came in, all dressed like my chief bridesmaid. She stood at the door for a while, her eyes on mine through the mirror as she made her way to me.I stood up to face her. She looked at me from head to toe, like she's checking me out. Then she gave me this heart warming smile with teary eyes, now she's being so emotional."I didn't know you could be so emotional all the time." I teased, tryi

Zoey's Pov"Ma'am." A voice came into my head, and then a slight tap on my shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes to see it was the cab driver I boarded from the airport. "We are in front of your house, ma'am." He said, giving way for me to see I am really in front of my house gate.I must have dozed off, after so much crying and headaches."Oh. Sorry." I said."It's okay, ma'am. I'll get your things out of the boot." He said and left.I got out of the car, feeling so empty with this never stopping headache. Am finally back home with so much pain and emptiness in my heart."Here's your luggages, ma'am." The cab driver said, handing me my stuffs."Thank you." I said, collecting my things from him.He entered his cab and left. I sighed tiredly as I made my way through the gate to the main entrance. I gave two knocks on the door. It went open soon by Emma, I could see the surprised look on her face. "Zoey?" She uttered in a rather whisper tune.I ignored her with all the questions I see in
