CHAPTER 111JAMES “We can’t go further into this conversation if you keep on acting like this.” A member of the representative committee said, looking directly at me.Noticing his lips were moving but I wasn't listening to what he was saying, I decided to shut my mind away from what I was thinking.I was not concentrating no matter how I tried, having an inner battle with myself was just so annoying especially when you are in a meeting like this. I was so exhausted and just wanted to go home.This was the least of what I was thinking, and they were not serious anyways.“What’s that?” I asked jolting back to reality. I was lost in thoughts that I hadn’t been listening to all that they have been saying till they called my name loudly. “I wondered what impression they would have of me,” I thought embarrassed already. Quickly masking my embarrassment, I turned to where the voice came from.“You’re Not even listening to us.” Another member said, roaring out in anger. Putting on my stoic

CHAPTER 112JAMES.The feeling you get when you come across an old friend after a long time apart is indescribable. The happiness and joy is beyond measure. That was actually the same thing I felt when I met Declan for the first time after years of being apart.He was still standing just like I remembered, the body, the hair, the face, nothing changed except for a bit of maturity on his eyes and the fact that he grew his hair a bit longer than when I last saw him.Declan was an old friend of mine who I was very close to l. The fact that we share the same business ethics made us really closer. He was the type of person anyone would appreciate being friends with.He is the type of friend who would do anything within his power, sacrifice anything he had to just to see you happy, just to make you feel better. But with type, our personal lives and businesses made us slowly drift apart.Declan is a man who loves to travel the world and explore the universe all while making his money while I

CHAPTER 113IRENE“Shock” that was the word. I was so flabbergasted seeing James sitting comfortably in Declan’s apartment.For some unknown reason, fate kept making our path cross even though you both are clearly over each other.Declan was clearly oblivious of the starring contest that was going on between the two of us. He held the door open, waiting for me to step in and after a few moment of contemplation, I stepped into the room.I do not know what was going on with James or how he was living his life but I sure as hell knew it wasn’t led the way it was suppose to. For a start he had this huge bags under his eyes and over all he looked like he was done with the world.I wouldn’t ever admit that out loud but I was actually worried about him. He really need to see a good therapist who would put him through life cause he was clearly losing it.Now was not the time to worry so instead of staying by the door and making the over all encounter awkward, I stepped up the task, wore my bi

IRENE’S POVAt first I had no intention of picking his call let alone speaking to him whatsoever but when the phone was on it last ring, I decided it wouldn’t hurt to hear him out so I picked the phone.“Ah and there she picks” Frank voice sounded through the phone just when I picked up.“What do you want Frank!” I deadpanned, the last thing I wanted was to engage in any unnecessary conversation with him.I know him more than I care to admit, he was a great manipulator and would try by all means possible to derived the right information he needed out of you. I would not give him that chance, at least not again.“Jeez Irene. Can’t I decide to just here from the love of my life again. I am pained you actually think I would not call you without a reason” Frank continued to ramble, I could clearly hear a bit of smirk in his voice.“Listen here Frank, I am in no mood to play your games. Are you going to state your business or you prefer to watch me hang up on your face?” I pronounced each

CHAPTER 115IRENEI dropped my cell phone on the side table by myself right after my call with Frank, my ex.In a way it felt crazy but at that moment, he had an upper hand in this situation.He insisted I meet him in his city—Back at home— so we could discuss a cruel issueI tried my absolute best to get him to talk over the phone but he still stood his ground when we met and talked face-to-face.Immediately, I got on my feet and decided to get my bag ready to leave for home as that was the only thing I could do. I excused myself from Declan without offering any explanation.I was arriving home soon enough, A few clothes and shoes were all I needed since I was just to stay for a day or two there.As I began to organize my things, I remembered I had to inform my assistant to book a flight and as well handle all my business work as I’d be away for a while and so I reached for my phone.While on a call with my PA, she tried to know where I was off to but I refused to tell her due to pe

CHAPTER 116JAMESOf all the things I know Irene was capable of, I never thought she would do such a thing as dating Declan. I know I myself haven’t been the best of husbands to her but why would she stand so low as to be in a relationship with a man such as Declan.The thought of having her with another man was so frustrating, that it left me breathless as I tried to take the thoughts out of my mind.I was angry, furious even. There is only one reason she did this, to get back to me and just thinking about it made my heart go haywire in anger. She just kept doing stupid stuff to herself just because she wanted to get back to me.How woman-like of her, I knew deep down that she was aware of the deep feeling I had for her but was just taking advantage of it.I had never felt more lost in my entire life, it looked to me as though everything was gone and I had lost her though I didn't want to acknowledge that known fact to myself, it left in me a feeling that was filled with so much frus

CHAPTER 117IRENEI watched through my window as he stood for about a minute, clearly wondering what the hell just happened. I myself was wondering why on earth I did that.We might not be on good terms with James but we both try as much as possible to act civilized in the presence of each other or better yet we tried to just avoid each other totally. While seeing him in Declan’s place today was a mere coincidence I know he would think I did that on purpose whereas I never even knew they were friends.I shouldn’t have overreacted cause what I did out there was clearly an overreaction but how was I to be blamed when I just had to deal with Frank’s bullshit before driving home now.We had an altercation and it was a very big one. Frank kept bugging me about getting back with him, threatening me with things that really scared the shit out of me. I tried to act strong but he was so much of a creep that whatever I did to keep him away, he did a double of that to see that he moved closer to

CHAPTER 118JAMESThey say when life gives you lemons, you make lemonades. This should be one of those moments.I was about to accept that fate had alot to play in my life.Perhaps, it was written in the star that I and Irene won't be together at the end as it turned out a lot of things had been happening that was letting me believe the wheel of fate was involved with all of this, to start with it wasn't really one to what to believe in fate.As a matter of fact I had stopped believing in it from the moment I was left alone as a child by my mother.Yet certain norms had played out in my life making me believe that Indeed fate was in existence.First among it all was finding my way to riches from the slum, it might have started off rough at the start of it all but Slowly I had become what I set out to be.As if that was not enough, Addie's pregnancy was right there—A bitter twist just when I thought I was over with her.Irene popping back to the picture having a lover …sigh.The list w

CHAPTER 135JAMES.I wouldn't have been this worried if I didn't get her text that looked to be in distress, it was hardly twenty minutes that she walked out when suddenly I got a notification on my phone beeping in an emergency.She had been complaining about having weird calls and texts and it was Marcus' idea that we set the safety app up, so we would be able to track ourselves.I was still on the phone talking to Marcus and telling him about the sudden appearance of my mother when the notification came in.As I made my way down the stairs, as fast as I could an awful squeak cut through theair and somehow settled under my skin.I made my way out and saw that she was nowhere around the garage.My phone beeped again with a live location this time, slowly I could see the red round indicator moving away and hitting the main road.At first I thought she might have been going with my mother to heaven knows where,but looking around I saw her purse laying in the ground. My heart skipped ma

CHAPTER 134JAMESIt was still hard for me to believe everything that was happening, well that doesn't matter. I was prepared to make sure she spent the rest of her years behind bars for how she acted out toward me.I couldn't believe that I had been dragged into all of this and was naive all along.It was only two months since I got out of my accident and things had been almost perfect between us.It looked as though we've come to a mutual understanding in fixing anything that was going on between us.We just had to fight it — We just had to fight the fact that we were two people not willing to give into admitting flaws.It was hard to ignore her. Whenever she was near, an invisible string pulled me toward her in a way that we couldn't resist. Gradually we were building back what looked to be broken. It was the only sane thing at that moment as it was impossible for us to just get ourselves back immediately.The feel of having do close left a vibrating feeling behind with the promis

CHAPTER 133JAMESThe first thing I noticed when I fluttered my eyes open was the fact that I was in an empty room which I did not seem to recognise. I winced at the harsh light coming through the window and instantly closed my eyes back up.For some reason I couldn’t turn my head an inch. Even the thought of doing that made me wince in pain. A frustrated grumble escaped my throat at the fact that I was clearly clueless and oblivious of my surroundings and there was nothing I could do to change that except to wait for aid which didn't seem to be coming.Judging by the stiffness of the bed I laid on and the feeling of Iv on my hand, I came to the conclusion that I was in a hospital bed. If that didn’t confirm it then the terrible headache I was having and the pain I felt all over my body definitely did.“For how many hours have I been laying down here” I wondered in silence. Giving up on all attempts to get myself up and waiting for anyone to walk into the room. Judging by the light co

CHAPTER 132IRENEThere was just one wish in my heart and at the tip of my tongue. That all these was a dream and I will wake up back in my apartment but I knew it wasn’t. This was real, this was my reality and I will have to face it no matter how cruel it might seem.I sighed for the umpteenth time watching as the nurses did their job. I had been sitting here for the past hours, waiting for some form of miracle to happen and James to wake up, I just refused to let the fact that he was going to die into my heart. I just refused to agree that I am going to lose him forever.“No! Absolutely not!” I chanted to myself, shaking my head vigorously in the process. James is strong, he is going to survive this. There is no way in hell he was going to die after all he had gone through. It just wasn’t meant to be like this. James is not supposed to die. NoI stared down at his face, his calm and peaceful face and I realized just how much I missed him. How much I missed looking into his eyes and

CHAPTER 131IRENEMarcus stared at me intensely from his side of the table, swirling his spoon around the plate of food in front of him. His gaze seemed to be directed at me but in reality he was deep in thought with his hand supporting his chin.I was still a bit sick but it was not as severe as it used to be so I had no trouble just sitting down and watching him think, waiting for him to spit out whatever was taking up most of our time together.After a long moment of silence, he sighed heavily, dropping the spoon from his hand and turning to face me completely now. “Irene?” He called.I did not honor that with a reply, instead I just looked at him to tell him I was present and listening to whatever he had to say.“How are you doing?” He inquired. It might sound like it was just a normal question but I could feel all the underlying questions from just looking into his eyes. The unspoken question was actually “how are you dealing with everything? How is your sanity now that James is

CHAPTER 130IRENE“I’m tired of everything, I want James back and I can’t leave without him and I feel like I’m dying.” I said almost choking on my own tears.Marcus was so comforting as he was quiet as he let me rant all I want in his embrace. It’s been so long since I had someone to hug like this and now that I got someone I didn’t want to let go.“I want him back, I can’t let Addie have him forever because I won’t be able to live without him.” I said crying deeply as gently wiped off the tears from my eyes.I finally released myself from my self bondage grip and it was then I remembered the blood of Marcus' body.He looked at me worriedly which made me shiver as I had a very unusual feeling inside of me.“W…what happened to you? Why are you covered up in blood?” I asked, looking at his hands which were covered in blood. His white shirt was also covered in blood but I couldn’t spot any injury on his body.“It’s not me, something happened to.” He said calmly holding my two hands like

CHAPTER 129IRENEI felt like screaming my lungs out to ease the intense pain I was currently feeling in my head but looking at it logically, screaming might only increase the pain so I refrained from doing so.Instead, I squirted my eyes to reduce the amount of light entering into it which in some weird way is only adding to my pain. My heart kept pounding in a way it had never done before, at least not when I am fine.I clutched onto my duvet for dear life, still shivering and gritting my teeth despite the fact that I was under layers of bed coverings. My throat felt so dry and the thought of passing anything through it at the moment made me gagged, but considering the fact that I had vomited more than I could count during this short period nothing came out but air.Overall I felt terrible and after a long moment of denial and thinking it was probably stress which would be gone if I just rested, I finally reached the conclusion that I was sick and I would need to see a doctor in or

CHAPTER 128IRENEI looked around lazily and picked up my phone to check the time. It was already evening and I groaned wishing I woke up the next morning.Now I had to Dave the burden of actually being in this life which was enough of a burden on its own. Everyday I wished it was the next because I wanted to get over everything.By now James would have been engaged and my heart ached as I thought about it. I sniffled hard because I didn’t want to start crying again.The love of my life was getting engaged to someone and it wasn’t me, he was the only one I wanted and now he belonged to someone else and there was nothing I could do.It became hard for me to stop myself from crying so I undressed and went into the shower.I turned on the warm water and gently scrubbed my body like there was no life left in me again.Everything felt so slow and I felt there was no use for anything again, it was all useless now.I got out of the shower and got dressed into a big top and walked out of the

CHAPTER 127JAMESI looked around and the sight of everyone cheering all in my name was so disgusting to me, especially since I didn’t want any of this to begin with.Everyone who walked past me would wave at me but Ignored most of them anyway as I was trying my best not to flare up because I was very upset.My sister noticed this from across the room and our eyes met, I looked away but I knew she was still going to come over anyways.She smiled at me and walked gently approaching me.“Why aren’t you putting on a smile? It’s your happy day. You should be happier than anyone here.” My sister said gently patting my suit like she was about to dust something off it.I looked around the crowd in the area and now the whole hall was jeering with noises from each corner of the hall.“When is this going to end?” I scoffed with a big frown pasted on my face.I didn’t even care about all of these arrangements and all the guests here because I was not happy with any of it.“Look over at your beau
