ALEX’S POV
After my conversation with Bryan, we never talked again.
I hate him, and I also hate Gian!
Who do they think they are to play with my best friend’s feelings? Even if they have good intentions but they are still wrong because, in the end, I know my best friend will still be hurt.
Even if I wanted Liz to move on from Bryan for me to have an excuse to let myself fall for him, I will still not choose to betray my best friend.
What if my best friend fall for that guy, then that guy didn’t have any feelings for her?! For sure, my best friend will be hur
ALEX’S POV"Janet, I won't be in the office today. But I still need to see the report for Q4. Send it to me before lunch." I instructed Janet. ‘Copy, Ma'am.’"Okay. Suppose you guys have any concerns, just text or email me. No phone calls." I added.‘Copy Ma'am’"Okay, Bye."‘Bye, Ma'am.’I hang up after my few instructions with Janet.
BRYAN’S POVUntil now, it seems like what happened earlier is so unreal. Fiancee? What nonsense is that? She doesn't even have a boyfriend. She's an NBSB(no boyfriend since birth), for cry out loud. And now someone will suddenly come out and introduce himself as her fiancee?! Maybe Alex just planned that because he found out what Gian and I did? There is a possibility that she is doing this to avoid me? That's right, Bryan! That guy is not Alex's fiancee.I feel like I'm going crazy. I need to be sure.I immediately picked up my phone and called Liz. She is the onl
ALEX’S POVUntil now, I still can't forget Bryan's reaction when he found out about my relationship with Nic.Flashback"FIANCEE???" I bit my lower lip. I know that this will happen, but I didn't expect it to happen right now.How can I explain to him about the situation with Nic? Though I don't need to explain to him because we have no relationship, I still know that I still owe him an explanation. I feel guilty even though I know I did nothing to him.'What do you mean nothing? You lead him on!’ my other mind scolde
ALEX’S POV I have a dinner date today with my best friend, Liz. Liz and I have not been able to date for a long time since she and Bryan broke up.We are here now at our favorite restaurant."Sis, I heard the news from Bryan," said LizI'm sure she is talking about what happened last night."I'm sorry, sis, I wasn't able to tell you about Nic and me," I said. "So Nic is his name. So how is he?" She asked.
BRYAN’S POV Alex's engagement party with Nic is near. The engagement party of the two is now on the news nationwide. Until now, I still can’t believe that Alex will marry someone else. I never thought of that possibility. All my life, I never dream of getting married until I met Alex. I will do everything to stop that marriage. I can’t lose her. She’s the only girl that I plan to marry. And I will be the only groom for her. I need to think of a way to stop that engagement.
ALEX’S POV My engagement party with Nic is already tomorrow. So I was swamped the past weeks. Fortunately, Sapphire’s busy schedule is over because we already cascade all the programs to all our dealers, and all we need to do is execute it. I dismissed the sales and marketing team early because Nic and I had dinner. Nic and I are together almost every days. Because apart from getting to know stage we are also talking about the next inde movie he will make. I am so excited about that movie. It will be my first time to see an actual shoot. Honestly, every
ALEX’S POV"Nic, I don't understand you. Why did you agree to what Bryan wanted?" I asked him.Nic and I are currently having dinner. From the time we left the office until now, I have been frowning.Who would be happy about what happened? I could do nothing because they both agreed and ignored me earlier."I’m just doing you a favor," Nic answered.My brow raised. “Doing me a favor? What do you think of my dad’s reaction when he found out that I am entertaining a suitor even though I already have a fiancee? And what will your mom and d
ALEX’S POVI feel very nervous. Today is my engagement party with Nicholas. I feel like I am attending my wedding and not an engagement because of my nervousness.Nic is with me now. He is very handsome now in his tuxedo. He looks very formal now, unlike what he usually wears. Well, he is the director, so he doesn’t need to wear formal clothes, unlike Bryan, who most of the time wore formal attire.Nic felt my nervousness; that’s why he holds my hand and squeeze it lightly. "Relax." He whispered.I smiled at him. Alex relax. Inhale...Exhale.
BRYAN’S POV Finally, in an hour or two, my baby girl will be Mrs. Alexandria Lee. I just heard her name from Liz, and then I was curious about her. I became even more interested when Liz introduced her to me before. I find her beautiful, and I like her sense of humor. Back then, I thought I was just happy with her because I was an only child and longing for a little sister, which I thought I had found in her. That's why even if I don't like to text and call; I started doing it because of her. I was even happier and more excited to see and talk to her than my girlfriend, Liz. Then one day, I just saw myself falling for her and regretted that I am already taken, and my girlfriend was her best friend, so it was difficult for me to break up with Liz because I am afraid that I would lose her. I tried to avoid her for the sake of us three. I knew I was falling in love with her at that time. But when I tried to avoid her, I just find myself missing her more and falling deeply with her
ALEX’S POV Finally, after all that happened, Bryan and I are getting married.Previously my only wish was to find someone like Bryan, but now he is the one the Lord gave me. Of course, I was embarrassed to wish it to be Bryan because he was my best friend’s boyfriend at that time.Flashback"Bryan? As in Bryan Lee, the Korean businessman? Oh my! you're so lucky, sis!" I was thrilled when Liz told me that Bryan was courting her.I had a crush on that guy. I am attracted to Korean because I love watching Korean drama, and I love their food. That’s why even my taste in a guy is somehow influenced by my love for
BRYAN’S POV It's hard to accept that even though I am the one Alex likes but it still not enough for her to choose me. I don’t know if I made the right decision, but I need to take a risk.Adelle is a childhood friend. She doesn’t know how to fix herself; that's why everyone sees her as an ugly duckling.At an early young age, she needs to wear glasses because she got an eye problem from reading books. She has a geeky side. But she still knows how to have fun.But someone hurt her that triggers her to leave the country. She was badly hurt even though it seems so shallow because its just puppy love.
ALEX’S POV I have already made up my mind. I need to win Bryan back. I couldn't bear to lose him. These nonsense excuses are enough for me.I want to be happy. I know I will be happy with Nic, but I want to be fully happy, and I know I will only experience that if I choose Bryan.I don’t also want to be unfair to Nic. She deserves someone better.Nic is with me now. We invited our parents to tell them that we will not push through the marriage. Nic, assure me that he is with me. He will help me convince both parties that this is the right decision, and Nic and I deserve it."Mom, Dad..." I started my speech.
ALEX’S POV"Hubby!" Someone called Bryan.I looked at the girl who called him. She ran and went to Bryan. Wait, did she just call him hubby? HUBBY AS IN HUSBAND??? "Hubby, I miss you!" The girl said excitedly while she was hugging Bryan.I am waiting for his reaction. He seems so shocked by that girl’s presence. But he quickly recovers from his shock.He hugged her back. I suddenly felt hurt from seeing him hugging oth
ALEX’S POVAfter our conversation last night, Bryan became so cold. It's so obvious that he is avoiding me. I think that he has already given up.I know I should be happy because Bryan followed what I wanted. But why did it seem more complicated and more painful when he did what I wanted? I'm confused. I want to approach him, talk to him... But what can I say? That he continues to rely on nothing?‘Is it really nothing?’ I asked myself.Why is my situation so tricky. Ca
ALEX’S POV I don't want to admit it, but I'm grateful that I went with them here. This place is so peaceful. It's a good stress reliever.I was surprised when someone handed me an orange juice. I looked at him to see who it was. "Bryan.""Enjoying yourself?" He said sweetly. "Yes." I just said."I miss you calling me grandpa." He confessed.I chuckled. "Really? I thought you don’t want me to call you that because
ALEX’S POVBryan invited me to come with him to his private resort in Mindoro.I was hesitant to go with them, but when I found out that Liz will also be coming with none other than Gian, I decided to go with him."You will not join us?" I asked Nic.Yes, I am planning to bring Nic on the said vacation. I already asked Bryan about this, and he agreed. The thing is, Nic can’t make it."I love to, but I can’t. My movie project will start soon; I will be very busy.” Nic said."Oh, I see. Should I not go with them? I’ll help you with y
ALEX’S POV ‘Tulips for my baby girl.’ I smiled as I read the card on the bouquet of tulips Bryan had given me. "Wow, Ma'am, Sir Nic is so sweet." My secretary Paula said. She was the one who always handed me bouquets from Bryan. I just smiled at her. I also did not tell her that it was from Bryan and not from Nic. I entered my office holding the bouquet of tulips. Even if Bryan doesn't say or put his name on the card, I know it came from him.
