The fight wasn’t something Hailey expected that hot afternoon. It was an embarrassing sight to the point she had wished that the floor could swallow her. What the heck was she seeing? Two men fighting over her?! What the hell was that?! That was her biggest nightmare and she hated it so much. She forced herself to stand ignoring the pain on her toe and cried in pain as the place hurt a lot. Ferdinand was more focused on his violence that he hadn’t heard her soft voice whimper in pain. Though each step she took sent a sharp pain in her joint, she just didn’t care anymore. She gathered all the strength she could and hurried to them. “Stop it!” She screamed at them, but Ferdinand wouldn’t stop hitting Ryan. Ryan did not fight back. He tried every attempt to explain to Ferdinand what happened, not Ferdinand wasn’t listening. Ferdinand was more of a fist than talk. “Ferdinand stop it!” Hailey couldn’t take it anymore. She drew Ferdinand away from Ryan and slapped him hard on the cheek. “
Ferdinand was all Hailey wanted in a man. He was her dream prince and the feelings she had for him was unspeakable. But what she couldn’t understand was why he played with her emotions all the time? She always felt victimized and this severely affected her mental health. Naya thought her relationship was perfect and Brett was too focused on his job to pay attention. Hailey couldn’t tell how to start explaining to Naya that Ferdinand was not a straightforward guy and sometimes she doubted whether their relationship would work or not. She had learned to endure things for long, but Ryan was the threshold. It was as if Ferdinand had been hiding his insecurities for so long and couldn’t hold back anymore. What could she do to make him understand that she wanted only him? How could she convince him not to be insecure anymore, but he should give her a chance to be his best lady?That night, Hailey couldn’t sleep. She gazed at her phone, waiting for Ferdinand’s mother to call and tell her th
Hailey waited patiently for Ferdinand’s call, but got nothing. This made her slowly lose hope. What more could she do? She has apologized to him multiple times and sent voice notes, but he wasn’t paying attention to her. He wasn’t opening her messages talk of answering them. This got her heart overwhelmed. “I told Ryan not to bother,” she said, losing all hope. “Why does he need to bother himself this much? This is my fight with Ferdinand. He needs to stay out of it.” Hailey sighed and ran her hand down her hair. As she slowly lost hope and slowly dived into depression, Naya announced a news she’d expected. “Ferdinand’s family are coming tomorrow. Since the wedding is next week, they will love to clarify something,” Naya told her with her arm crossed. Hailey nodded. “Ferdinand must have told them he isn’t interested anymore,” Hailey said with a sad tone. “I guess they are coming here to cancel the wedding in a friendly way.” Naya sighed and carressed her hair. “Dear Hailey,” Nay
“I cannot believe it worked,” Hailey said with enthusiasm when Naya called her to the kitchen to help her serve cookies. “I thought Ryan would never convince Ferdinand. I know my fiancé. He never listens.” Naya opened the oven to inspect the new batches of hot cookies. “Are you happy with this marriage?” Naya asked her the same question a billion times. “Mum, you are getting really annoying now,” Hailey hissed. “Can’t you see the smile on my face? Of course I am happy. I have been with Ferdinand for six years. I would almost die if he didn't marry me. I have been dreaming of my future with him for six years.” “Is this about the duration of time?” Naya asked Hailey in disappointment. “That shouldn’t be a problem because you are still young. You can still back away. What if he is not the right one for you? What if you are ignoring the right one for you? What if you are focusing on the closed door for too long and aren’t noticing the opened door?” Hailey groaned. “Mum, wh
Hailey knew Naya had a brief discussion with Ryan, but she couldn’t tell what they discussed. She had tried eavesdropping on their conversation until being stared down by her twin siblings who thought she was becoming nosy. “You didn’t see anything,” Hailey told them, trying to avoid acting suspicious. “Give us something in exchange for the silence,” Partrick stretched out his arm with a smirk. Hailey was shocked by the audacity.“What?!” She exclaimed.“Do not worry,” Patricia loved her brother’s strategy. “They do it a lot in movies.”Hailey frowned. She dipped her hands into her pocket and took out a dollar. At least a dollar was like gold to the 9 year olds. “I will tell mum to stop making you watch TV,” Hailey threatened as she slipped it in their hands. “A dollar is too small,” Patrick frowned. “I agree with Patrick. A dollar can’t buy anything great these days,” Patricia folded her arms. Hailey was completely speechless. “You guys are just children. What do you know abou
Hailey arrived at the restaurant for the double date. It was an expensive 5 star restaurant which she knew Ferdinand adored a lot. No matter how furious that guy was, she was certain that he wouldn’t create a scene in such a classy restaurant. He was that egoistic not to embarrass himself before multi-millionaires who were probably more successful than himself. She took a deep breath and walked in. Her long silver gown with off shoulders dragged behind her as if she was in some kind of classy event. Who told her to over dress you may ask. Even she herself had no answer to that question. She walked in, smiling at the guard at the door. “You are looking very beautiful, Madame. Who are you looking for?” He asked in a British tone. “I am looking for Mr Ferdinand Sucre,” she said. “I am his fiancée. We have a seat reservation.” The guard looked at his tablet to scroll through his list of reserved customers. “That’s right. He has already been locked in. Please follow me. Let me take yo
The slap was so loud that everyone in the restaurant turned towards their direction to find out what was happening. This was Ferdinand’s greatest fear. His shocked look turned to anger as he looked round at the inquisitive faces. “Only God knows how long I have endured you enough,” Hailey said furiously. “You have always messed with my head and looked down on me and I am just tired of it! I am damn tired of it! I am tired of trying, I am tired of taking the blame, I am tired of looking stupid trying to please you! I am tired of defending you! I am tired of the temporary happiness you show me which leads to more pain than good! I am tired of your existence in my life! I am even tired of your disgusting smelling face and your good for nothing wealth!” Ferdinand was confused since he has never heard Hailey speak like that to him before. He’d always seen her as meek and soft spoken, but never that brave and confident. “Don’t you dare talk to me like like….” He tried grabbing her, but s
Ryan and Lora stood up at the sight of Hailey and hugged her in rounds. Hailey knew she didn't know Lora well yet, but her morals couldn’t help with the aspect of courtesy. No matter how distant she felt towards the lady, she knew she’s got to greet her.“You look so nice,” Lora admired her orange shirt and blue Jean. In fact, she had only dressed casually. Hailey could swear that there was nothing special at all about her outfit. “Thanks,” Hailey thanked her anyway and signaled her mother to join them. “Lora, this is my mother, Naya. Mum, Lora,” Hailey introduced. Naya offered Lora a wave and hurried in to get the guests some chips. As soon as Naya was done, Hailey sat down.“Don’t mind my mum,” Hailey said, running her hand down her hair. “She always does that. She can’t attend to a visitor without offering them her chips.”“I guess most mothers are like that. My own mum was so obsessed with the cookies,” Ryan said with a laugh. Hailey recalled and smiled. “I remember those times
