Eric's POV"Angela, You go home. I need to go directly to the office." I looked at her and tried to smile. She was seated in the back seat with me while I was trying my best to look as calm as I could with her.After coming back from the airport. I just went home to drop her first. "Alright, I'll wait for you at home. Please come back on time." She smiled and got out of the car. I smiled back with a small nod instantly to agree with her. Without letting her know what I'm going to face up right now. After watching her enter the mansion. I sighed in relief and soon my face turned serious with anger and frustration. I asked my driver to turn the car towards the office at a fast speed. My face turned gloomy, there was no more smile. Because the big problem is already waiting for me in my company. I just hope things could settle without any problems and if not I'll make sure to do that…After making up my mind. Last night's call made me frustrated to the core. I never thought of encou
Eric's POV."If you know everything about me! Then you also know that I'm already married!" I glared almost throwing a dagger at her and making her realize that I'm already married and she made the wrong plan.If it's not for company matters. She was already thrown out of this building. In my one-finger move. "Yes, so what? You can divorce her!" She crossed her arms around her chest and slyly smirks which made me laugh with mocking."Do you think you will come and say something bullshit and I'll do that?" My eyes sharply looked at her face and greeted my teeth. I don't know how I got the patience to listen to her this long. "So, you mean to say after knowing your real identity, she will still accept you?" Her chuckle turned to irony.While my hand clenched tightly into a fist and my eyes turned darker to listen to her statement. "Are you trying to threaten me?" "Right now?" "In my own office? Huh?" This woman gets into my veins. How dare she turn this bold and talk like this? "I
Angela's POVAfter Erish left for the office, I tiredly went to my bedroom. The trip was exhausting but I was glad to spend the day out there. "Home! Sweet home!" I shouted with happiness as I looked around my room. It's another level of feeling when I come back home after a long tour. No matter where we go, the warmth of home never matches anywhere. The comfort and relaxation we get in the home, it's indescribable to other places. I tied up my clothes and took a refreshing bath. The warm water gets me all nervous to relax and enjoy the bath more than before. I draped the robe around me and got out of the bathroom to go directly towards the mirror and glanced at my happy reflection as I took the brush and slowly used it to brush on my wet hair lightly to untangle it. When a loud knock on the door stopped me and I turned to go towards the door direction and unlocked it. "Good morning, Mam." The servant stood with the tray in her hand."Good morning." I responded while she added
Eric's POV"Erish, is everything alright in the office?" Angela's eyes exceptionally looked at me while I was in the chaos to think about Ayesha. My mind is thinking about office talk with her. I just hope I can send her back faster. There is no space for fault."Yes, Everything is fine. There is just the pressure of the new project. We are working on it and I hope things go smoothly without any disturbance. " I tried to look calm and flashed a fake smile to her while telling the lies. "And what about your friend?" She asked which made me instantly stiff in my place before continuing the conversation."Which friend?" I felt stunned for a second but soon covered the reaction with a fake smile on my face to look easy. "Didn't you tell me that there is a friend who comes to meet you." She blinked her eyes innocently and confusedly. Her words finally made me remember last night's conversation after Ayesha called. Damn it! I forget where I told her about my friend coming to the city fr
Eric's POVOffice"John, did you find anything?" I inquired about Ayesha as soon as I entered my cabin. My facial expressions already gave him a sense of how serious I was right now. "Boss, After investigating through our secret people we found out that she hired some men who followed you from the first day you arrived in the city and they still do until now. His information filled me with rage for her. His report just matches my guess and Ayesha's words.Damn it! It means she's planning to come back into my life for a long time without letting me doubt or capture something unusual."How could her men not be seized by us this long?" I mumbled with doubt while John replied to me for that next moment."Boss, we already got one." John's words made me pause for a moment before I raised the question, "Did you catch her men?" "Yes, boss." He responded."Did he tell you any information?" I looked at him.John understands and nods. "Yes, Boss," "One of the men confessed that he was not
Eric's POVI promised Angela for dinner but still, at last, I'm a little late coming back home. I hope she's not mad at me. I sighed helplessly and thought in my mind just grabbing my suitcase and closing the door of the car."Angela!" As I enter the home. I called her name. But there was no response. Maybe she's in the bedroom? Thinking that I went towards the living area and to my surprise, I heard Angela's laugh. My lips curled up to hear her precious laugh. It means she's here. But what makes her laugh? With curiosity, I followed her voice and found out that Angela is in the living room sitting on the couch facing me but to my surprise, she's not alone there. There is another woman with her back in front of me. They both were talking and laughing.I think it's her friend Ella. She's a best friend of hers."Angela!" I smiled and moved towards her.She raised her head and met my eyes."Erish!" Her smile becomes wide. Seeing her beautiful smile. I moved towards her but suddenly

My face turned to grimace while staring at her evil and proud smirked.After yesterday, today she's looking more arrogant and confident."Relax Eric! I just wanted to meet her, that's it!" She approached me while her filthy hand touched my chest. My expression frowned and I scarcely pushed her hand with wrath. "Don't dare to touch me and I'm warning you don't push my limits!!! Ayesha!" I looked at her with warning stares. She chuckled to hear my words which made me twist my brows in a frown. "Eric, I know what you worry about but I already agreed with you not to tell Angela your secret, Didn't I?" She raised her left brow while she played with her hair with one finger. I clenched my fist tightly. This woman was trying to only provoke me and test my patience. "I hope you remember that thing or I'll also forget about both of your conditions!" I glared at her with a serious look. I need to find all the evidence as
Author's POV"Hello, Mrs.Brooks! Sorry for my inconvenience to come here like this!" She acted like an awkward woman but in reality, she was happy to finally enter Eric's home. Now she will try everything to seduce him and make him her! In her mind, Eric can't avoid her charm for long as a man. No matter how much he loved this woman. "Miss Ayesha, don't say this. Erish told me. Your health is not so good and living in the hotel alone is not a great choice when your friend's home is always open for you!" Angela smiled generously. She truly liked her. "Ohh, you are so generous Mrs.Brooks!" She held her hands. "Miss Ayesha, don't call my name formally. You are my husband's friend. In that case, I'm no different from him. Just call me Angela from now on!" Angela looked at her with a bright smile."Then Angela, you should also call me by my name! From now on!"

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.

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!"

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?"
