Author's pov Adrian didn't or was very impatient to allow the car to finally stop in the front of the hospital where his dad was receiving treatment before opening the door of the car. Immediately the car halted he rushed down and he didn't even wait for James to remove the car key from the mouth of the car. The intensity of his pace became very noticeable when he placed his feet on the hospital's floor. There was a striking sound of his hard Italian black shoes as he walked towards the intensive care unit of the hospital. Adrian was having one thing in me, to take his mom out of the room and asked her a direct question regarding what happened to him. When he got into the room, his dad was awake and he was chatting with his wife. “Adrian!” His dad called out with excitement. Then his eyes were on the door that Adrian didn't close. Adrian couldn't connect while his dad was conscious of the door and he thought that it was because he forgot to close it. Then James entered and cl
Amber's pov My grandma has refused to tell me who damaged my door. It's been almost a full day and she has refused to give me a hint. Why would someone come into the house and damage my door with a hammer? The more I reflected on it, the more I started remembering what happened. Yesterday, I remembered that I started losing breath and I started calling my grandma's name. “Oh!” I stood up at once. My grandma saved my life. I was sitting in the sitting room and my grandma was inside her room. She had just finished bathing when I entered the room. Her towel was still around her chest. “Amber!” she said aloud as she wasn't expecting me and I opened the door without a knock. She was on call and her phone fell from her hand as she was startled by me. She quickly picked up her call, maybe she ended the call because of me or probably the call had ended. I didn't border if my grandma was hiding something from me. I went and sat on her bed and I said, “Grandma, thank you so much for wh
Adrian's pov What have I done to myself or which is correct, what have my mum and I done to my dad? Why can't I control my anger and take my mom out of the hospital entirely before confronting her about her plans with Merit? Because of our argument, my dad's condition had deteriorated. Will I be the cause of the death of my own father? That thought would live and never leave my memories. Oh my god, please help me. What will be happening in the operating room right now? Is my dad responding? For the first time in my life, I have a dislike for my mom. She has deliberately stood in front of my happiness and now, causing me to lose my dad. I will never forgive her. What about myself? Will I forgive myself? I was so confused that these haunting thoughts made me walk out of the hospital and James was keeping a close eye on me. The time was 10pm and the operation on my dad started about thirty minutes ago. One of the doctors told me that it would last about two hours. Will I be able
Lola's pov It has been about forty-eight hours since I left Adrian's dad at the hospital. Whenever I’m awake, I can’t stop thinking about Mr. Morgan. My time at the hospital really brought us closer. In the absence of his wife and Adrian, he shared old memories with me—stories of how he started his life, how his first girlfriend broke his heart because he didn’t have much back then. Looking at Mr. Morgan now, one of the most prosperous men in the country, you’d never imagine there was a time he was just an ordinary man. I can’t help but smile, remembering the funny jokes he used to tell. His presence in my life filled the void left by my own father. If not for Adrian's behavior, I would have been there with him. Guilt weighs on me, as if I failed in my responsibility. I can’t bear to see Adrian or even hear his voice. Even listening to him on the phone, without replying, brings me to tears. That’s why I can’t bring myself to answer his calls. Maybe, with time, my heart will heal,
Adrian’s pov I felt like I had frozen water all over my body when Amber’s grandma spoke to me. The way she put her words wouldn’t leave my mind so quickly. She looked at me with so much disdain, like someone who had never spoken to me before. I know her granddaughter must have told her everything that happened, but all she knew was false. “Amber has gone to where she had found rest,” she snapped. “And where did she go?” I quickly asked her grandma and all of this took place a few minutes ago. “Of course you should know by now, her ex husband, but they have settled their misunderstanding. She spent a night there and I doubt if she will come back today…” I couldn’t remember what she added to those words. I was stunned. My lips left themselves. Why will she do such a thing? I didn't know what to think about. Dave was someone that I can command to wherever that pleases me, but when it comes to love, it's all about the decision of Amber. Why will she take such a drastic decision?
Amber’s pov My grandmother thought she had rescued me from the hands of Adrian, but those words she said to Adrian became a burden in my heart. I couldn’t continue with the watering of the flowers again. Instead, I went to my room and sat at the edge of my bed. Why would my grandma say something like that? She had just created the impression that I had gone back to Dave. What will Adrian be thinking of me? Won’t such thoughts degrade me in his heart? I know we are no longer together, but I would love to have a good reputation in his heart. Sitting down and not knowing what to do, my grandmother walked in and saw my facial expressions. “Why are you sitting down here? Are you thinking of Adrian again? You haven’t finished what you are doing in the backyard.” I remained silent as I was angry at her. Why will she tell Adrian that I have gone back to Dave, is Dave the only man on this earth? “Why are you angry? I wanted Adrian to stop coming here. I know that men are very jealous.”
Amber's pov No way! I escaped his gaze. If only by chance Adrian had slightly turned his eyes to the left before opening the door to his dad's room, he would have seen me. I thought he would see me. My heart was already pounding and at the same time, I was ready to ignore him. How will I be able to walk away? What if he stands on my way? What if he holds my hand? How will I react if I see tears in his eyes? I threw all the unanswered questions out of my mind the moment I got out of the hospital building. Adrian didn't see me and there wasn't any need to contemplate if he saw me or not. I got into my car and the moment I drove away, I felt I heard someone calling for my attention. I don't know anyone here, although the male voice was familiar. I don't want to be rude with my eyes and that was why I didn't look at the direction of the sound, and driving my car away without looking was the only and best option. I hadn't gone far from the hospital when my phone started ringing. I
Author’s pov Amber’s turning and looking at the man at her back was something she never expected. In those few seconds that Amber had to turn, she thought about so many things, especially the man who had asked if he could help her carry her loaded cart and she refused. “Why will he pay for the things that I have bought? Maybe he wants my attention or my phone number. He has failed. I will not give it to him. I didn’t ask him to pay. I have my own money and I will reject his gift.” When she turned, Amber was completely speechless. This wasn’t what she had expected. Standing in front of her was the very man she had been running away from. “Adrian? How do you know that I am here? Are you stalking me?” She asked angrily. Adrian didn’t say a word. His hands were folded and he didn’t know that first statement that he wanted to say. It was a moment of complete silence and the two of them were looking at each other. “Amber, nothing can separate my love from you.” “I didn’t ask yo
