Darren was still waiting for my answer. I smile sheepishly. This was the reason that I didn't even want him to take me inside the mansion yesterday. Now, he knows about my marriage with the popular Jace they all know. No need of hiding it from him and no need of hiding it from Jocelyn too. Jocelyn is my best friend, I feel guilty hiding things from her. I will tell her today.Even if I don't tell others, I should tell my friends. Grandfather has always wanted me to bring Jocelyn over and because of my lies, I can't. So it will be best to tell her my identity so that I can invite her to the mansion whenever I feel like it.“Actually, no one knows that I'm married to him," I mumbled.“Why? I mean why did you hide it? You are married to a man who's every girl's dream man, It's something to be proud of."Yeah, Darren has a point. Marrying the most popular musician is really something to be proud of. But how will I tell him that my relationship with my husband is not that good and I can't t
Jace sat in his office chair, his eyes were stuck on the laptop whereas his mind wasn't there. He's lost in thought…. Thoughts about his wife. He thinks he's stupid, what's wrong with him? Why's he unnecessarily angry and won't return home? He has been staying in his penthouse and it's so boring. Unbelievable, it was never like this in the past until Constance came into his life. What has that girl been doing to him?He hasn't been home for two nights now and he is already missing his wife even though he doesn't want to admit it. He has hardly slept well these past two nights and yet he can't go home.“F*ck you Jace," he muttered under his breath. Since he trusts his wife, why is he still stopping himself from going home? His men have been digging deep to find out anything about Darren but nothing to find. His life is too private, that guy looks suspicious. He needs to understand his motive to suddenly come into his wife's life. About the kidnapping, the police haven't given any vital
Seeing her husband, Constance remembered the conversation she had with Mr. Williams last night. Last night, it actually hurt her a lot that her husband didn't come home again. Her mind wouldn't stop wandering through lots of things. The words of that woman she saw at the restroom yesterday are still disturbing her. She wouldn't stop thinking about the fact that her husband may be having an affair with that woman. Why's her husband hurting her, why can't he love her and accept their marriage?Mr. Williams noticed the sadness in her eyes when she came to his room to give him his night medicine as she does most of the time— even though she was trying her best to cover up her sadness with a forced smile. “Constance, are you okay?" Mr. Williams asked after gulping down the medicine with some water and returning the glass cup to Constance.“Ehm…, yes I'm fine," Constance stutters as she sets the glass cup aside. She knows that she's lying, that's why she couldn't maintain eye contact with
“Constance!" Jocelyn screamed in horror. Her friend must be crazy, is she trying to take the bullet?The high pitch of Jocelyn's voice alerted a lot of people in the room and it frightened the gunman as he withdrew his gun pointing towards Jace but Constance didn't stop running since she thought the gun was still pointed at Jace.“Jace!" She screamed and pushed her husband out of the way but unfortunately fell with him as they rolled off the floor. “Jace! Jace! Are you okay?" She asked, shaking at the process as she checked her husband. She's on top of him giving her access to check her husband very well. “You are fine, you are fine," she whimpers and hugs him. Releasing the tears she tried to sniff back but couldn't. Her heart is palpitating and her body shocking as she hugs Jace. She has never felt this kind of fear in her life…. The fear of losing her husband was so intense. “Constance," Jace calls softly. He sounds confused too. Maybe not only him but everyone around. No one se
Constance point if view:It's already three weeks and today is my birthday. My husband hasn't return home since the past three weeks. It hurts but I held back the pain.But right now, I don't think I can hold back the pain. It hurts too much… looking at these pictures hurts a lot. My birthday was yesterday, I thought I would be happy but I wasn't. The arrangements were extravagant but still I couldn't find the happiness that I needed.Jocelyn, Darren, grandfather and Hannah were there for me. They wanted to make me happy but I was so selfish, their love wasn't enough.I wanted the love and attention of one person but he wasn't there for me. He didn't come to my birthday. I wanted to believe that he was busy and that was why he couldn't make it.But no, he was with a woman. More tears stride down my cheeks as I stare at the picture on my phone screen. It's the picture of my husband and the lady called Shantel. She's the same lady that came to the restroom at Hannah's beauty salon. The
Jace regretted treating his wife the way he did with her at his grandfather's birthday party. That was the same girl that put her life at risk to save him. She only wanted to treat his wound but he shouted at her and said hurtful words to her. He never wanted to shout at her, he was just burning in anger at that moment.And he was such a coward. He stayed away from home for three weeks instead of going home and asking her for forgiveness because she deserves it. But his pride wouldn't let him. Instead he stayed in his beach house.What Kevin said that day was what infuriated him but he shouldn't have taken his anger out on his wife. His wife was innocent and was only worried about him.In these past three weeks, Jace was able to understand that no matter what he did. He can't stop loving his wife. Yes, he never wanted to fall in love. He prevented himself from doing so because he promised Natasha that he would only love her. After Natasha's death, he couldn't fall in love. He couldn'
Constance point of view:I still can't believe that Darren tried to rape me. I thought it was a dream but it was a damn reality especially when Darren hadn't come to school for the past three days and he refused to pick up my calls. I just wanted to hear the truth from his mouth. I don't know why I find it so hard to believe that he did something like that to me but no matter what I want to believe, that's still the truth. He tried to rape me. It hurt so much when someone you trusted betrayed you.“This is unbelievable, Darren… he wanted… oh! Goodness." Jocelyn was lost for words the day I told her about what Darren did. She doesn't know what to say. Darren has been good to both me and her, we trusted him. We have never thought that he could do something like that. He had helped me many times, I never thought he was doing all that because he loves me. He doesn't love me, if he loves me he wouldn't have tried to rape me. What he felt for me is lust and not love.I walk out from the ba
It's already been one week since Constance learns of Darren's true nature. And the latter haven't been to school ever since his attempt to rape Constance. Him running away, actually means that he tried raping Constance and everything Jace told Constance about Darren is true. In anger, Constance burned the pink doll Darren gave her. She thought that the doll is a sign of friendship but it's nothing but a sign of deceit. Darren deceived her into trusting him. When she told Jocelyn more of what Darren did, like the things which Jace told her that Darren confessed to him— Jocelyn was more disappointed in Darren. She still can't believe Darren did something like that but she has no choice than to believe it. He betrayed the trust that Constance has towards him. He's nothing but a bastard! How dare him come into her friend's life just to ruin her marriage.Constance asked Jace not to tell any of the family members what Darren tried to do to her. She doesn't want them to worry. The family
