Eric's POVI stopped my car in front of the restaurant and turned my head to look at Angela whose eyes were focused on the outside of the window. She was silent the whole time while her eyes were still lost which made me worried for her. Is something I am missing, I suddenly feel like that…I let my hand go and wrapped it on her palm to get her awareness.As soon as I held her hand to persuade her attention and it did that, it worked. She slowly turned her head and let her eyes meet me. She looked into my eyes with the same lost gaze. I could sense something there but still feel I'm thinking just too much. "Angela, What happened baby? Why are you so lost?" I couldn't help but ask with a concerned voice. I wanted to know if something was bothering her or if something made her feel bad…"Nothing…""There is nothing like that. You don't think too much…""I…" She paused."I'm just too focused on the view." She mumbled while showing me a small smile. But that smile didn't reach her eyes.
Eric's POVAs we completed the dinner. We started casual talk when she asked something for which I'm not prepared. I never thought she would suddenly ask about Ayesha. I thought she didn't want to talk about her. As she never took her name after she finally opened her eyes and we had our last conversation about the kidnapping incident. So, when she asked me, in which prison I sent Ayesha and if she could come out? I felt uneasy for a moment and paused. However, I maintained my calmness in front of her and responded to her later, that she was in a high maintained prison in the south city from which she will not be able to come out for a few years. But I assured her that even a few years later when she would come out, I already asked my lawyer to warn her to not get her foot in this city again.Only hearing my words, she finally gave me a small smile and nod. But I'm still a little uncomfortable that she is going to ask more questions. And she did that but still I felt relieved w
Angela's POVI felt confused when this happened? And how did I don't know about it? Everything turned into a mess until I opened the next envelope. There are no photos but a message for me. "If you want to know the photos' secrets then meet me." I know who the person is. The message now makes sense. It's Ayesha. I know. I knew it clearly. During the kidnapping time, she also talked about Erish's secret but that was a trap to make me believe in her words.But why? Why is she using the same element again?I couldn't help but look at the photos again and again until I heard the door open sound. And I fastly covered the photos and letters with a comforter. "Angela!" Erish's voice caught my attention as the door completely opened. I looked at him with a big smile while getting out of bed."You back!" I said while he smiled and immediately put his laptop on the couch while walking towards me to wrap his arms around me and hug me warmly. "I'm sorry! I need to look through some files,
Author's POV"Mrs.Brooks! Are you sure you wanted to meet Miss Ayesha?" The officer asked. "Yes! And let it be a secret between us! I don't want Erish to be stressed out for a small matter!" She looked at him with serious eyes. "Alright then, you can meet her but make sure it doesn't take a long time as there are some rules we need to follow!" The officer informed her before making their way to prison. Angela nodded and started to follow him. "You wait here! She will be sent by our cops" The officer said after sending her to an empty room which is divided into two parts with glass while two chairs represent both sides.Angela silently waited for her arrival while her heart was in so much confusion. What are you doing Angela? Is it right to come here without informing Erish? There is still time you can leave if you want? Her other half said to her. She bit her lower lips and stood up from her chair to rush towards the door.She can't do that! She thought and shook her head. She
Author's POV"Mrs. Wel, Did Angela inform you where she's going? I didn't see her in the house!" Eric looked at the old maid and asked her. He completed office tasks early and purchased a roses bouquet for Angela in a passing way. He wanted to see her happy face and drive fast for that. But as soon as he got back home, he didn't find her anywhere which made him a little surprised. Angela never leaves home without him texting or calling.But he shook his belief and thought to ask housemaids. What if she goes outside informing the maid.But the maid's words made him doubt."Sir, Madam didn't say anything before leaving." Mrs.Wel answered, While his face frowned and he added another question."Can you tell how long she's been out?" He inquired."Yes sir, I saw madam going out in the afternoon." Mrs.Wel answered immediately. "Afternoon?" His eyes turned cautious."Yes, Sir! After she ate her lunch, she just went out!" Mrs.Wel reported.Where could Angela go, it's already seven o'clock
Author's POVHe turned to walk back as he couldn't find her. His eyes moved towards the deep ocean like a lost soul but suddenly he found something. He saw a figure standing in the ocean. The figure's half body was already soaking in the water while it was standing at the same place without moving at all. It feels like the person does not care about himself. He knew very clearly who the figure was which made him instantly petrified in his place for a second. He can identify the figure in his dream also. It's her. As soon as he came back to his senses he ran towards her and shouted her name with anxiety."Angela!" "Angela!" He never thought he would find her like this. He shouted her name again and again until he entered the ocean. Angela's red eyes looked at the deep ocean while she felt she was betrayed by everyone. Her heart splintered into dust particles, too disfigured to be glued back to an organ.Her love world shattered in front of her eyes and all she could do was stand l
Author's POV"Did you meet Ayesha?" Eric questioned while his heart clenched painfully as if someone had just dug his heart out from his chest.His whole body shivered with fear. Fear of losing her! On the other side, Angela felt like laughing at herself to believe that there is still a one percent chance that Ayesha is wrong. But hearing his words. She knew Ayesha was telling the truth from the start while Eric was the one who lied about his identity. "So, Ayesha's words were true!" She smiled bitterly while there was so much pain hidden at the same time."You are Eric!" She whispered between her massive breaths. While her eyes darted at him with disgusted gazes. Eric's eyes were rimmed with red. He never wanted to see hate in her eyes for him. But now seeing her eyes are cold and it's for him. He felt his heart bleed. He couldn't move but stood rooted to the same spot. Like he was stuck by his own soul. He can feel her anger, her frustration, and her hatred towards him at this

They greeted her but she walked silently and rang the bell.The maid comes and opens the door for her. "Hello, Mam!" The maid greeted her but as soon as her eyes went to Angela's appearance which did not look so good. She felt a little shocked. Angela's hair is in a mess while her long dress is still wet. Her eyes were completely red and tired while puffiness showed she cried a lot. The tears-soaked mark on her cheeks. Angela looked at her blankly and mumbled, "I want to meet mom and dad!" Maid felt something was not right with her and nodded immediately. "Yes, mam! Please sit down. I'll tell madam and Sir about your arrival!" The maid said before leaving to Mrs. Brooks's bedroom.Angela silently stops there as she is still thinking like everything is just a nightmare. If she opened her eyes.

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.

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'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?"
