The next morning when Gloria woke up David had already left for his office.
She couldn’t sleep all night and it was almost five in the morning when she could close her eyes and even after sleeping for three hours, she couldn’t talk with him.But Gloria didn’t want to waste any more time as she was on pins and needles.If she couldn’t find him in the house, she can talk with him in his office.After all, she is one of the shareholders of his company.But talking with him was necessary, and she wanted to make everything perfect again before things go out of her hand.She needed to know what made him take this decision and fix this thing so that they could return to their normal life. She went to dress up hurriedly and ordered the butler to keep her car ready.When she got down, there was already a car ready for her and she gets on it wasting no time.She told the driver her destination and lean back tiredly.Last night was like a nightmare for her.She couldn’t find any reason why David wanted a divorce and if she wouldn’t found those papers still sitting in the living room, she would have dismissed all this, thinking it a bad dream.But those papers were proof of her failed marriage, and she will try her best to fix this.“Mam, we are here?” Gloria heard the voice of the driver and get off the car sighing.This was the company where Collin works.His grandfather has a separate business but when they married Collin was in a critical situation so his grandfather bought some shares in her name and supported David.But Gloria never came here for any business meetings, though she has visited this office as Mrs. Collin several times, David was the one who handled all the business even the huge number of shares too.But today when she came here there was a nervous feeling in her heart.She was worried that Collin only married her for these shares only.Though she dismissed this idea as soon as it hit her heart this idea was constantly bugging her mind when she remembered the papers.She took a deep breath and walk inside the building.Everyone who knew her identity greeted her as Mrs. Collin and this was making her more uncomfortable. When Gloria reach the floor where his office was, he found out David’s assistant Noah.He was doing some work but noticing her he walk over to greet her.“Mrs. Collin, what brings you here?” he asked politely though he was looking nervous.Though Gloria was sure Noah know about the divorce as David’s every word is handled by him but she didn’t want to give him a hard time.“I want to meet David.” She replied, and Noah has a conflicted face.“Mam, Sir is busy in a meeting…” He was hesitating but Gloria didn’t give him time.“I will wait in his office,” Gloria said and walk inside. She was waiting for almost two hours, but David didn’t return.She wanted to ask how long the meeting will go on so she come out but when she noticed David who was entering the elevator with a lady.She couldn’t see their face but she can’t miss that person with whom she has spent three years.“Mam, Sir just left for some work.” Noah ran toward her and inform her immediately.“Did you inform him about me?” Gloria asked, her gaze still looking at the elevator where those two people just left.“Yes… but…” Noah was hesitating.“Go back to your work,” Gloria said and leave from there. She absentmindedly returned to her house, but when she entered and saw a pair of female slippers on her doorstep, her heart was clenching in pain.Still, she walked upstairs and wanted to ask him the reason for proposing a divorce.She was walking toward her room when she heard some indecent voice which make her halt in her step.“David, it’s your bedroom. We shouldn’t do it here. What if Gloria comes back?” This voice was her cousin’s, Lia’s“So what? I am divorcing her soon.” He says and there was a moan coming from inside.“But you are not divorced yet, and she is still the shareholder of your company. What about the papers I told you to take her sign?” She ask and Gloria was confused.What papers she was talking about?“Those were in my study. I will make her sign those too.” He says while groaning and she heard Lia moaning alongside him.She didn’t need to think twice about what was happening inside her bedroom, which used to be their marital bed two days back.Gloria turned around and walk toward his study.She is well known in this place as she has taken care of every room of this house for the last three years.She opened the locker where David keep his important documents and there were some legal papers she wanted to see.It was a transfer paper of Gloria’s share.If she signs them, David will become the sole owner of those shares which comprises almost fifty percent shares of his company.Yes, Gloria had this much money invested in him, and don’t mention the time and effort she has invested in this marriage.Before marrying him, Gloria was doing an internship in her favorite fashion design company.It was one of the best companies in New York and there was a saying whoever can work in that company can become a celebrity in the fashion world after coming out.But she left all her dreams because she wanted to give all her time to this marriage.She was on the moon hearing his proposal and nothing else mattered at that time.But after seeing all this happening here everything felt like a stupid mistake.Gloria didn’t care why Lia was here instead of her or why David wanted to divorce her.After seeing them do all this, Gloria just wanted to leave this place as it was suffocating for her.She took those papers along with her and leave the house with a broken heart.Gloria wanted to go to her grandma and cry her heart out as she was the only one who could understand her pain.But she was afraid her grandpa would hurt David if he know the truth.Though David didn’t give a fuck about this relationship she cared for him and loved him.She didn’t want him to get hurt, though he was an asshole.She was roaming around the town when her cell phone rang.It was her doctor who was calling her.She composed her distorted mind and receive the call.“Hello, miss Hill.” She asks trying to act calm and composed.“Gloria, you did some tests last week. I have your report in my hand. Can you please come to collect them?” She asks.I was so disturbed these few days I almost forgot about this report.“Miss Hill, can you send them to me, please? I am busy slightly.” Gloria said as she didn’t want to go there for the time being.“Actually, I wanted to talk with you.” She said hesitating and Gloria sighed.“Ok, I will be there in half an hour.” She replied.“Ok, I wil
David was sitting on the sofa and watching Gloria leave his house.He thought Gloria will put a fuss or try something to remain Mrs. Collin.But her leaving like this somehow surprised him.He was hurt somehow, too.He thought, though these three years they were not like some romantic couple at least they grew some bond.But maybe he was wrong.This marriage was a business deal for him at first.He agreed to marry her because his dad wanted to take help from the elder Mr. White.Lia and David used to be childhood sweethearts, but when David’s company fall and he needed help Lia didn’t come forward to help him.Instead, she showed him her back, saying her mom’s business was not in good condition and she was not in the position to help him.Though David knew white was far superior to them he believed her word and tried to search for investors.But his every attempt came out futile.His company was at a loss because one of their projects go haywire and that’s why no one was ready to trust
Five years laterGloria was packing her bag as she need to return to New York.I have been five years since she left the city where she grew up.Though she was in constant touch with his grandparents she tried to keep her away from any news of that city.Many things must have changed in these five years but what she couldn’t change was her heart that still bleed for that man who broke it into pieces.She tried to forget him so much but when his son was born with similar features to David, she couldn’t forget him for a day.Now when she had to return because her grandmother is sick she was dreading to face her past.But she didn’t want to miss these precious times.Gloria didn’t want to regret it when in the future she won’t be able to stay with them.So when that old lady called her back she agreed without hesitation.Her grandparents have supported her a lot in these five years.She still remembered the day when she returned to White’s house after signing the divorce papers.She was s
David was lost in her thought all over his business meetings. Though he has convinced himself all these years that Gloria doesn’t matter to him, today his heart proved himself wrong. He was not only forcing his mind to concentrate on his work, but he was burning with jealousy when he thought Gloria must be back for Jonathan. Though he wanted to forget about their past affairs and move on, it was looking too impossible for now. They were returning after a week and they could meet anytime, this thought was making him unsettled. But he knew ignoring this matter will solve anything. “Noah, have you got any news all these years about her?” David ask Noah who was busy arranging some papers. They were sitting in his private jet and they were going to touch the ground in an hour. “I tried to find out where she was and I only have news she was in Australia. I didn’t try to find out anything afterward.” Noah says, and he sighs. What was she doing there, and who was with her? David know
“Yeah, what are you doing here?” Gloria asks nervously.Lia tried to see inside but Gloria block her view with her body and act it was unintentional.“That doesn’t matter. Let me visit aunt as I am already here.” She said and tried to push the door but Gloria stopped her again.“Doctor is doing some test on her. No visitors allowed for now.” Gloria lied in a hurry.But Lia was not a fool.She understood Gloria was trying to hide something, and how could she let her win?“I will just see her from afar. I won’t disturb the doctor.” She said and try to push herself inside the door but in the nick of time, a person called her.“Lia, where did you disappear? Your Doctor was asking for you.” Lia turned around in annoyance but when she noticed David she tried to change her tactics.“Oh, David, see who is here. I didn’t meet my cousin for five years, so when I saw her, I couldn’t stop myself from talking to her.” Lia said and walk toward him.She wrapped her arm over him intimately and thought
David came to accompany Lia as she was having some problems with her stomach.He didn’t know why she said they came to visit the gynecologist, neither he pondered over this matter as his concentration was fully on Gloria.She has become exquisite over time.She has gained weight in a better way and her face was also flawless.She looked younger now, with light makeup.He couldn’t forget how she greeted her indifferently as if they don’t know each other.How could she move on so fast when he was still standing where they separated?“David,” Lia called and when he looked at her, she was standing with a frown.“Where are you lost? It’s our turn.” She jerks his arm but he pulls away from her and stands in a distance.“Lia, I have something to deal with. You go on. Noah will accompany you.” David said and leave there not giving her any chance to protest.Lia stood there and stomp his leg.“How can this bitch still affect him so much?” She thought angrily.In these five years, Lia has used
Jonathan went up to meet Gloria and when he was reaching her room, he heard a soft giggle coming from inside. He paced up and what caught his eyes made his face lift with happiness. Gloria was tickling her son when he was trying to escape. “You naughty devil. How dare you trick me? I forbade you from eating so many chocolates.” She scold her son but he moved away from her grip and run to the other side of the bed. “I didn’t. I was just bringing them for you because you were hurt.” He replied while giggling and jumping on the bed, trying to run away from the bed. “Really? Then how they ended up in your stomach? Let me ask your tummy.” She said and try to tickle him again but he run out to hide when his tiny frame bumped into Jonathan who picked him up happily. “Uncle Jon save me. Mom is going to punish me again.” He said and hide his face in the crook of Jonathan’s neck and Jonathan wrap his arm over him in a protective stance. “Gloria, how could you bully my friend? I won’t let
“Mom, Beautiful is calling you downstairs. She has made your favorite food and mine, too.” Daniel said excitedly, coming inside the room.His nanny ran behind him, but how could she manage to catch this little devil?Gloria hurriedly wiped her tears and plastered a smile on her face before turning toward his impatient son.Though he couldn’t wait to finish all the food, he won’t do it without his mother. Gloria was well-known for that.These loving gestures of Daniel always make Gloria content in his life and go through all her sadness.“I know your little tummy is hungry. Mom is coming down. Go with aunt Zara.” Gloria said and his nanny came to pick him up.“Don’t be late.” He warned before going out with his Nanny.Gloria composed her mood as she didn’t want to make his grandparents worried and walked down along with Jonathan.Diana grinned happily, noticing them coming together while Henry was still not Ok with the idea and was wearing a frown on his face.They sit to have their lun
