After seeing Keith and Lia kissed, Iyah seems to have lost her last hope.
Like I care, she thought to herself after seeing Keith and Lia together.
A week has passed like a snap. Iyah made herself busy at work for two weeks straight.
Then Sunday came, and Iyah didn’t have any choice but to be at home alone.
But the main door opened the same time she got down from spending alone time in her room the whole day.
For
“Sophie, we’re running out of Canvases. Can you please call the supplier to send us some?” Iyah instructed.Sophie then just nodded and walked straight to the phone.It has been a week and Iyah’s studio has been very busy due to orders.Iyah bit her lip, and she slowly guided the brush to her empty canvas. Iyah is good at drawing, but she likes her canvas empty when putting paint on it because it makes her calm and paints what she likes and what’s in her mind.“Miss? Should you try another concept for your painting? I actually like it, but you’ve been using red for a week
“I'm really sorry that I acted like a child. I was really just afraid. I didn’t know what I felt. I just don’t want to lie and hurt Lia again,” Iyah said, sitting in front of Keith’s car, feeling nauseous. It was the most stupid excuse she had come up with.“I said it’s fine, Iyah,” Keith directly said while looking ahead.“Thanks for the ride.” Then Iyah bid goodbye.After that night, Iyah was restless and bothered by what had happened. She still seems guilty of her reaction, but she just panicked.
Lia was grinning, but her eyes were looking at Iyah with contempt and disgust.“I did not expect for you to be such a slut,” Lia said.“Lia!” Keith yelled frantically. “What is wrong with you?!” He said as he stood between the twin sisters.The situation had gotten out of control, and Iyah did not know how to handle it. She also did not want to hear them talking about how she was a slut. Because she knew deep down that it was partially her fault as well.So she left, feeling defeated, her relationship with her sister that had never been too good was now even worse.Iyah knew that she could not live in the same place as Lia for another minute.Iyah decided to get away from her because the house will create infinite anxiety in her, where the judging gaze of her sister did not stop pursuing her. Her guilt for what happened gnawed at her, but the look of anger that Lia threw at her knocked her out.&ldq
Iyah was startled, as she did not expect him to agree just like that. Thankfully she immediately managed to get a hold of herself. “It does not matter. What matters is what I have to say-” Iyah paused as he moved closer to her. He was so close to her now that she could already feel his body heat. His scent, mixed with alcohol, was intoxicating her as well, making her unable to move. He stopped a few inches from her, staring at her heatedly, before he spoke softly, “I wish you were more like Lia.”The phrase took Iyah by surprise, among all the possible things she expected him to say, that one was the last and worst of all. In the darkest part of her brain, the triumphant sneer of her sister began to surface in her mind.And perhaps because of the hormones of the pregnancy or because of the hurt in her heart, she began to cry inconsolably.Keith was startled when she started crying. He raised his hand to w
Three years ago…“Drey! Just forget about her! She’s not worth it!” David said to his broken-hearted friend while patting him roughly on the back. They were together drinking in a bar.Drey pushed David’s hand away with a glare, “You don’t understand! You never had girl issues! Just shut up and let me drink!” He said furiously before filling his cup with liquor and drinking it in one go.David smiled helplessly and shut his mouth just like he was told. There was no point arguing with a drunk when it was the truth as well.As the only son and heir to one of the biggest multibillion-dollar industries in the world, he had it all; fast cars, properties all over the world, and more money than he knew what to do with.His looks were also worth dying for, so it’s no surprise that women were always at his feet. Because of this, he never had any‘issues’with w
“Wife…?” David not only murmured but also repeated that inside his head multiple times until he finally realized what mistake he had made.‘Un-fucking-believable mistake!’David screamed and glared at the woman being dragged out of his room.“I am so sorry!” Betz screamed through her sobs, over and over again. She was struggling to cover herself as the man drags her to get out of his penthouse.Sorry? To who?David glared at Betz murderously. He was never the merciful type. Thus, it did not matter if the woman continued to cry and kneel in the middle of the room and begin forgiveness.“You bloody slut. After all, I did for you? You still had the guts to cheat on me? I was such a fool for trusting you. Only God knows how long you have been cheating on me. No more! It’s time for you to go back to where you fucking belong, you dumb slut!” He grabbed her hair and pulled her out to
Three years after…David was home for dinner. After the scandals, his father had forbidden him from coming home or seeing the family until he fixed his mess. This might seem a bit harsh, but it seemed fair to David, for he knew how much that decision must have hurt his family.Due to his actions, the company shares had fallen by almost fifty percent, and investors had started pulling out.It was a really trying period that had taught him a lot. It had a taken a lot of pleading and bribing to get the investors back. He had also been able to compensate Betz’s husband, so the lawsuit was canceled.For the other scandal, after a lot of investigations and a paternity test, the pregnancy claim was dismissed, thankfully. David was not so keen to be a father after all.Three years had quickly gone by. The company shares were back to how they used to be with a promise to do better, and his father had called him home for dinner. It had tak
David’s mum called him the very next day to inform him of a date with her friend’s daughter.“She just finished her studies abroad after ten years. You are the first guy she’s meeting since she came back, so treat her well,” she warned.On the appointed day, David woke up feeling apprehensive. He was dreading the meeting, for he knew the news would definitely get back to his parents if he messed up. Thus, he really needed it to go well. So, he made sure not to forget the Viagra before leaving the house, in case he needed it.He usually never slept with women he intends to date on the first day, but then again, you never know what could happen.If this is really her first date since she came back, then she might be feeling a bit horny, he thought as his dirty mind went on overdrive. That would be awesome if his organ downstairs would function properly.Arriving at the venue, he scanned through, looking for her.
