View MoreIt's been a year since all these dramas. Aria still hasn't opened her eyes since she was laid in the intense care unit. Her parents would randomly visit her, or occasionally so would Chris.“At this point, I don't know if your daughter would ever wake up. Why don't you put her to rest?” The doctor suggested one day when Mr. Patrick came over to the hospital.“I don't know about this, doc, I still hope and believe she'll one day wake up” Mr. Patrick responded as the doctor nodded.“Just think about it” And with that, he walked away.“Wait what? You can't put her to rest. She's not dead yet, she's still breathing, she's still fighting, can't you see?” That was Chris's response when Aria's dad broke the news to him.“I think she's fought enough. She needs to rest now” Mr. Patrick responded. There was silence.Christopher arrived from work, but his wife wasn't home, the babysitter was trying to put his daughter to sleep. “I'll be leaving now, sir” The babysitter had said just right after
Jessica's' POVI kept on trying my husband's phone number, but he wasn't picking his calls. I was beginning to get worried because he's never stayed this late without returning home. “I'm sorry for keeping you worried. I just had a busy schedule at work today” that was his response as soon as the home.Furthermore, I noticed he wasn't looking like his normal self, he wouldn't even look at me.“What's wrong, baby?” I questioned softly. He stared at me for a long time like he was trying to think, then he fell back on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling.“You remember this morning when you caught me staring at my phone, and you asked me what's wrong?” I nodded curiously. “It was about Aria. She was involved in a ghastly car accident, and she's been hospitalized for days now…" My face beamed with a smirk. Now, things were falling in place, and everything was working in my favor. This is a sign that Chris and I belonged together. Hopefully, she doesn't make it alive. Why couldn't sh
Before Aria's parents got there, she was already rushed to the intensive care unit because she was badly injured.“Are you the victim's parents?” The doctor asked, as Aria's mom nodded, she was panting heavily. Her dad tried as much to be calm, but he was also scared for his daughter's life.She needed an emergency brain surgery because she had intense brain injury, so her parents gave the go ahead.“Will she wake up afterward?” Her mom asked slowly. The doctor looked down and back at her.“ I can't guarantee that, ma'am. This is a 50/50 thing but even if she does make it alive, she'll experience memory loss but all the same, let's pray for her” And with that, he walked away. “I don't know what I'd do if we ever loose Aria” Her mom muttered as she collapsed her head on her husband's shoulder.“She'll be fine. Right now, she needs us to be strong for her, okay?” Aria's dad, Patrick, assured his wife, rubbing her back softly.*************CHRISTOPHER'S POINT OF VIEWThe wedding went a
WRITER'S POINT OF VIEWIt was a stressful week for Chris, having to move on from Aria, selling off his house, resigning from his job as he moved out to another city completely. Sometimes not everything was meant to work out, and the same applied to his marriage to Aria. Chris leaned on his back trying to apply for work online, but it wasn't fruitful. His phone rang as I glimpsed at the screen. It was an unknown number.“Hello, Chris” a female's voice greeted.“Hello” he responded, trying to figure out who was on the call with him.“Why ain't you taking my calls or texts? The security man wouldn't even let me in” At this point he realized it was Jessica. “Doesn't she get tired after ruining my marriage and sending those videos clips to Aria after setting me up?” He thought angrily.“I warned you never to call me again, and by the way, how did you get my contact?” Chris questioned as she laughed mischievously.“I always have my ways, Chris. You've forgotten” She finally responded. “
Mom drove me home and surprisingly, I wasn't expecting to meet my dad because he's a busy person, but there he was sitting on the couch watching whatever that pleased him.“You never told me I was going to meet dad,” I whispered to my mom.“I know” She laughed.“ It was a surprise. He has plenty of things to say to you” My mom added. My dad's face beamed with a small smile when he saw me. My dad hasn't changed much, just the little wrinkles on his face here and there and the gray hair. I dropped the luggage right there and breathed a sigh of relief. My mom quickly summoned one of the maids to help drag the luggage to my old room. I haven't been in this house in the past two years plus.“Heyy” I said coldly as I took a seat.“Welcome home, my pixie, "My dad with a grin.“Don't call me that. I'm twenty-five now!” I frowned, feeling disgusted already. The name pixie originally generated from Tinkerbell. It was my favorite show while growing up, so my dad used to watch it with me. At f
WRITER'S POINT OF VIEW As soon as work was over, Chris got to his car. Normally, when Lucas was still alive, he would drive Lucas home every day to a point he made it routine. Now, staring at the empty seat, it just brought back plenty of memories. Jessica walked down to Chris full of smiles. “Not again” He mumbled under his breath. “What do you want, Jessie?” He asked as she stood there with folded arms. “We need to talk, Christopher” she replied with a pout. “In somewhere quiet. I know an exact spot” Jessica quickly added. “You don't ever quit, do you?” He frowned. “Just this last time and I'd never bother you again, I promise” She said. The club was pretty lousy and crazy. Everyone were dancing and having a good time. “This is my favorite place to hang out whenever I feel blue or lonely” Jessica said after they grabbed a chair. “So why are we here? What is it that was so important that we needed to talk about?” Chris asked, ignoring all what she had said while he wat
Chris phone rang. It was four in the freaking morning. Who on earth calls someone at this time?“Chris… Your phone” I mumbled with closed eyes. He picked up the phone, there were already people wailing in the background.“Could it have had anything to do with Lucas?” I thought.“Lucas is gone…” Chris's voice trailed off.“What? How come?” I was confused. How can Lucas, someone I met full of energy days ago, just die like that?“He tried to commit suicide. He was suffering from depression. He took pills, but they were able to rush him to the hospital. Sadly, he couldn't make it"I closed my eyes, digesting all what Chris had said. I know I had just met him just once, but he was a really sweet and funny guy. Occasionally, we don't even know what people are battling with until we have a deep conversation with them.“Chris… I'm sorry. May his soul find rest” I adjusted myself to him until we were just an inch apart and without saying a word, I pulled him into a hug. He hugged me even tigh
“Thank you for coming to me. I don't know what I would have done,” I said, trying to break the silence between us. “Could you believe that sonafabitch?” He replied as he turned to me. He seemed a little pissed off.“I'm sorry I even had to take you to somewhere like that” he said. At this time, he didn't look piss anymore. He looked rather concerned.“Okay” I muttered.The rest of the ride home continued in complete silence. By the time we got home, I was exhausted. He made us bath together, and then we got in bed.“I want to eat you out, tonight, "he said with a small smirk. “You seem a bit tired. Leave it to me” he crawled over to me. I smiled. Maybe I could really use this right now. He spread out my laps. I helped pull down my panties. The pleasure was immersed. This was the first time my husband really made me feel this good. I let out a soft moan.I woke up the next morning feeling much better. My husband was still asleep at that time. We were literally facing each other. I
I laid in bed digesting all what Chris had said earlier. He was right though maybe I shouldn't even be searching for a job when I already have a place in my dad's company, but at the same time, he is the reason I'm in this mess; The forced marriage.The next morning, as usual, my alarm woke me up. I yawned as I stretched. Chris was still laying there. I resisted the urge to wake him up to prepare for work. I got up to wash my face, but by the time I was back, he was already up.“Don't you have work today?” I asked. “Nope… Today's my day off” he muttered, rubbing his eyes with the back of his palms.I sat at the edge of the bed, tying my hair into a ponytail.“Anywayyyy, we should have a couple's day. We've never had one” Chris said. I raised a brow.“Whatever it is you're trying to do, it's not gonna work!” I said. He stood up and came over to the side of my bed. “See…” He breathed in.“I know I've done numerous terrible things. I am trying to make this work” he continued. He grabb
“Too much sugar!” Chris slammed his hand on the table. I rolled my eyes. Every morning in this house is war.“You know what, Chris?” I raised a brow.“I am so sick and tired of your bullshit” I was furious already.“ You always have in mind to ruin my morning. I hate you for this” I continued.“I made your tea with the exact measurements you instructed me to. You always have something to complain about” I quickly added. He stood up while gritting his teeth.“How dare you talk back at me, Aria?!” He foamed angrily. I wasn't moved at all.I took another gulp of my tea and continued. “ You know what? I just want a divorce. Furthermore, I am so tired of you and your stupid ass complaints. Using me every night like I'm some sort of your sex slave, hurting me both emotionally and physically…” I looked at him dead in the eyes. He smirked.“Lucky for you, my lawyer is working on our divorce paper” he replied and for the first time in a while, I genuinely smiled. I blamed my dad for putting m...
