Eric's POV.I have a wedding with Angela today. But I don't know how to feel about this? I have loved her dearly since childhood but I don't feel fair at all about this wedding. It makes me feel like I'm cheating on her and cheating with her true emotions.She is just a pure-hearted girl and I don't want to hurt her anyway. But I don't have any other choice in my hand.I don't know! How I'm going to handle all the situations from today? And I do not know at all how long I will be able to hide this deep secret from her that the person she is going to marry today is not Erish, but me Eric.I'm feeling so guilty deep inside my heart that I don't know how I'm going to face her today. I'm feeling nervous to face her. What if she realized who I am? That I'm not the one she loves. What if she realized that I'm Eric? I have been thinking about all these possibilities in my heart that suddenly my parents come into the room."Eric, my poor son! I'm sorry! " After coming into the room, my m
Angela's POV.After the wedding ceremony was completed I went to the Erish's master bedroom which is now my room also. I looked at our bedroom with admiring eyes as the whole room was decorated with different colors of roses and the bed was also decorated with fresh red roses. Seeing all the arrangements I blushed deeply.I don't know how to say that but I waited for this day for many years when I can truly claim him as my husband and I know he also waited for me the same way as I did. This is our first night thinking that my face blooms. Finally, we both are going to start our new journey as husband-wife. Thinking that my smile turned wide and my heart thumped like a drum. With so much excitement, there is still somehow a little nervousness inside me. However, I don't want to hold myself back tonight. I want to make this night memorable for both of us. So, I shortly went to the cupboard and took out my clothes to change my wedding dress into a red short sexy nightgown.First I pu
Eric's POVAfter the marriage ceremony was completed, I saw Angela going to Erish's bedroom. Seeing her going into his room, I somehow feel anger in my heart. I felt jealous. But I can't show my frustration to her. Because this is all my fault. From the beginning, I know that she is in love with Erish, not me. But still, I married her in place of Erish and now even though I married her, the one she thought and known as her husband is Erish, not me. Only reckoning that I can feel a sharp pain through my heart. I really don't know how I should feel about this marriage. I married my love, my Angela, But there is no happiness in my heart at all. I just feel a burden. I just feel like I'm a criminal who cheated her with her marriage. What a disgusting night today! Today is our first night. My first night with Angela but I don't have the right to touch her. And all she is waiting for in the room is Erish, not for me. These are all things making my heart suffer more.I'm just feeling
Eric's POV."Angela, please don't cry… " I whispered to her in a gentle tone."Then, Why are you leaving me like this on our first night? " she raised a question in an upset tone.I tried to convince her, "No, it's not like that. I just remembered some work. ""Are you telling me the truth?" She met my eyes and added, "You again started behaving differently. Again you started avoiding me just like you did every time in the past. You are always busy with your work when I was waiting for you to meet just one time. And today on our wedding night you also wanted to leave me alone.""Angela, I…" I wanted to say this is not like that but she continued her word."At first, you didn't kiss me on my lips and now you are leaving me alone for your work. Did you remember your promise or not, I don't know. But I clearly remember that you always told me that our first kiss will be on our wedding day and that's why you never touched me before. But now still at the last moment, you break it. Even aft
CHAPTER- 6 Eric's POV. When I opened the door, I found mom standing in front of me. I sighed in relief to see her and thanked God in my heart that at the right moment mom arrived and stopped me from making a big misstep. Otherwise, I do not know what I would have done. How huge a mistake could I make. "Eric, are you drunk?" Mom's words get me back to my senses and stared at her to answer shortly, "Yeah, little bit." Mom nodded and gave a small smile to me in return. But I guess she has something important to say or else she does not come in this time here. "Mom what happened? Is there anything you want to tell me?" I asked and waited for her to say something. She finally looked at me with a deep gaze. As her forehead knitted to show her tensed expression. Catching a glimpse of her like this my brows arched, forehead frown and I asked again the same question with seriousness "Mom, is everything alright?" I touched her shoulders with my palms. However, hearing my words, she d
Eric's POV"What are you saying, Mom?" I inquired about her words while she almost looked pale. "Yes, that's true, Son. Erish fell in love with someone else…" Her voice shattered at the last sentence and she started sobbing with more misery. Listening to her, I could not restrain my anger any long. I never thought they would hide this big thing from me until now. "If he doesn't love her then why in the first place is he announced to marry Angela?" My forehead veins turned visible at this moment as I continued, "Tell me mom! Why the hell! He needs to do the marriage in the first place, If he doesn't love her?" I touched her shoulders with frustration.Mom stared at me with guilty eyes as there are big reasons behind it. And soon she spoke out, "Because of your father, Eric…Because of your dad, he agreed to do that…" She mumbles the word in a painful tone. "Dad?""What do you mean by dad? Tell me the whole truth Mom," My eyes turned serious. There is something wrong with this whole
Angela's POV. I don't know what happened to him but he started behaving differently. At first, I thought he was just tired and got drunk to relax but when he avoided eye contact and told me that he is going to do some important office work on our first night, I became very upset and it felt like he wanted to avoid me. Only thinking about that, my heartfelt discomfort and wrench. I am waiting for him, getting ready in his room and he wants to leave me alone here and go to work. That makes me feel dreadful. But still, I attempted to ask him with a willing voice, while controlling my sentiments, preventing him from going. However, even when I inquired, he completely ignored my words. Watching his cold behavior towards me, my heart was distressed and filled with sadness… I unexpectedly started to lose my calmness and shrieked with anger and let out my frustration, the long one. To know what is the reason for his behavior like this? Why is he ignoring me? Asking such questions f
AUTHOR'S POVONE MONTH LATERBROWN MANSION"Angela, are you ready or not? It's already time for Eric to come!" Mrs.Brown hurriedly knocks on Angela's door and exclaims the words. "Mom! I'm coming. Just a minute!" Angela responded to her Mom with an audible voice from inside while Mrs.Brown replied shortly," Alright, I'll be here!" A few moments later finally the door opened and Mrs.Browns was almost stunned to see her daughter. Angela smiles brightly when she comes out of her room and stands in front of her mom."Mom, how am I looking? Does this dress look good on me?" Angela stares at her dress and then glances at her mom with nervous and excited feelings. Mrs.Brown smiled brightly and touched her shoulders before admiring her, "Sweetheart, you are looking so gorgeous that I could imagine Eric's reaction after seeing you. He will truly lose his mind to see you like this!" Angela chuckled at her mother's words and thanked her next later, "Thank you, Mom! For your compliments!" M
Author's POVAngela got up from her knees weakly and turned to leave the airport empty soul. After realizing there is nothing left for her now. She never thought her love story was going to end like this where she will never get her chance to speak her heart in front of him.She silently started taking steps with a broken heart as she recalled all the memories shared with him line by line. From childhood to their marriage ceremony. His bright smile and their beautiful kisses. Everything started running into her vision, which she will carry her whole life from now on. Because he is not with her from now on.Realizing this she suddenly stopped on her way and used the seating chair beside her to get support for her body. While tears soaked her cheeks again without caring anything. She stood there for a long minute before finally wiping her tears and starting to walk again. However, suddenly, a familiar male voice stopped her on her track."Angela!" Her eyes widened to realize whose v
"Where did he go? Erish?" She went to Erish side and asked in a hectic tone. Feeling desperate to know more about it. She couldn't believe it, she was late. And he is gone. However, Erish didn't reply to her. He was looking at her with upset eyes.Angela couldn't take his silence and asked him more forcefully."Erish, tell me! Where has he gone? I came here to meet him. Tell him that I can not live without him then why suddenly, does he go without even meeting me?" Her voice was completely shaking.Hearing her words, Mrs.Brooks immediately rushed to her side and asked in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth? Do you truly want to start a new life with him?" Angela felt broken down and said in a broken voice," Y-Yes, I wanted to tell him. I already forgive him for his mistake and wanted to start a new life with him." Her eyes turned reddish as her voice turned almost weak at this moment.Mrs.Brooks, lips curled up in a smile and her eyes got happy tears with a new hope."Angela, if
THREE DAYS LATERAngela's POV "Mom, what happened? Who comes to meet me?" I walked to the living area and abruptly asked her. But soon my eyes went from Mom to the man who was young and in a professional suit. His hand carries some files.Before I could ask him, who is he? He approached me and asked," Mrs. Angela Brooks?" I hesitantly answered, as my eyes moved to watch my Mom whose face is the same as confused as mine. "Yes, It's me." My stares went back to the man. Waiting for him to introduce himself. "Hello, Mam. My name is Billy Hill. I'm a professional lawyer. And today I'm coming here as my client and your husband Mr. Eric Brooks's divorce lawyer." As soon as he completed his words, my heart stopped beating while my eyes widened with deep shock at this moment. I couldn't believe what he just said. How could this suddenly happen? I could not help but feel panicked."W…W…What are you saying?" I asked with nervousness. My body is almost shaking to not believe what I am facing
Eric's POV"Did you call the divorce lawyer?" I asked Erish, who's still thinking I got a chance with Angela."Eric, think carefully…""I think you first need a deep conversation with Angeal to make the last decision." This is what he has been saying for the last two days after I told him about my divorce decision. "That's enough, Erish. We both know. Angela is never going to forgive me or trust me again. I finally accepted reality. So, please don't push me to think of imaginable things again." It's already hurt enough to accept this, I wanted to shout that to him but at last, let it go."Alright. If this is your choice, I'll not go to interpret it. But don't feel wrong at last, not talking to her." His every word fell harsh on me. I can see there is anger in his eyes. Before he just left me in my room alone. His last words echoed in my mind again and again. But who will explain to him that I did everything in my strength to let her feel my love for her? But still, she hates me. An
Angela's POVIt has been two weeks, Eric opened his eyes and I didn't see him. It's not like I'm angry with him. That's why I didn't want to see him or anything else. In reality, I was sometimes desperate to meet him and see him but my spirit was still not ready completely to move with him. Yes, I love him. But without believing in myself completely and our relationship. If it's the right decision or not. I can't give him any type of encouragement related to our relationship. Or any hope, which I can't fulfill in the end. So, staying far from him is the right choice for me. I don't know how much more time I'll take to finally make my decision but for now, I need peace of mind to make myself feel free and get my willpower again. Many things happen nowadays and I need time to deal with all these thoughts before I can step into a new life. I don't want any negativity to stay inside me. When my eyes are busy looking at the big sky with admiring eyes. My phone pulled me back to reali
Author's POVAt midnight, when Angela was resting on the couch. Eric finally opened his eyes with headache and body pain. At first, his vision was blurred but after adjusting to the dim lighting. He glanced at the surroundings with a strange gaze to guess he was in the hospital and lying on the bed, covered with some machine while he got an oxygen mask on for breathing. Within a time, he recalled his accident by hitting the truck, and soon he remembered, for whom, he went on the middle road and was hit by the truck. Only to let himself horrific next later.'Angela!'As soon as he shouted her name inside his brain, his whole body turned anxious while his half-open eyes widened to remember her, and felt panic later. "Angela!" This time he let out her name while the oxygen mask was still on it.He turned desperate to know if she was fine or not and for that he tried to move from the bed but soon he realized, his legs and hands were fractured while his head started to sharply hurt.

While she already informed Eric's parents about them. "Angela…" Hearing her Dad's voice she turned her head to see him standing with her mom together a few meters away from her. "Dad!" She looked at her dad with a big smile and tears came out of her eyes, before she walked toward him and hugged her father immediately. Her father welcomed his daughter and gently held her in his arms, with fatherly love. As he turned emotional in these moments.Angela's mom watches the father and daughter's meeting with loving eyes.

Angela's POV"Then what were Erish doing, when I opened my eyes?" My voice almost shattered, as I don't know how to react to their statement. I remember it clearly. The one I saw, as soon as I opened my eyes, was Erish. Then how could what they were saying could be correct?Erish could sense my confusion and immediate responses to me by shocking another statement. "Angela, actually, after saving you, Eric also got a high fever and needed to send another tent for rest and he told me to watch you as he can't be there with you." Erish words gave me my answer and I fell into chaos. "Angela, that was not the first time Eric did something for you…he was always there for you but you never noticed him…" Eric's words made me curious to know more and I inquired," What do you mean by that?" "Angela, whenever you come to ask something from me or need help. All of that is done by Eric but he does not talk to you so much. So, when he asked me to hide the fact that he is the one solving issues f
