What is your connection to Brent?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56We decided to look for a restaurant with private rooms where we could talk and listen properly to Hailey. We wouldn’t want to last the day without knowing what she is really hiding from us. I saw her hesitation when we dragged her inside the premises but we were eager that it was time to confront and corner her.
“W-what do you mean, girls?” she stammered. “T-this is me. The real me!” she was trying to loosen our grip.
“Hailey!” Aira called in a warning tone. "What?" she furrowed. “How can we trust you enough, if we feel that you’re hiding something from us?" Aira sounded desperate. "Don’t get us wrong Hailey," I interjected. "We trust you but with the way you act lately," I took a deep breath "You’re giving us a reason to doubt you,” I stated the truth.
“You're right, Kelsie," Aira agreed instantly. "We’ve been friends for many years and we respect your decision for keeping it," she paused and sighed. "But isn’t it better if you share it with us?" Aira

"What is your connection to Brent?" I blurted out of curiosity. I was really bothered that it was so easy for her to defy Brent in their past encounter. "He's friends with my brother," she revealed. “So you already knew Brent since then?" I questioned confusedly. "Yeah," she beamed and motioned a peace sign at us. "You giggled to meet the new owner of the restaurant that time?" Aira creased her brows. Hailey explained that she really had no idea that it was Brent who acquired the restaurant. She was surprised too but she managed to act like she didn't know him because she didn't want us to notice it. "Hailey, you know about my revenge on Brent right?" I sounded reluctant. "What about your revenge?" she arched her brows. I told her that I'm bothered to know that she knows Brent from the start yet she supported my decision. She explained to me that Brent is her brother's friend and I am her friend so definitely she will side with me. "Besides your plan for reve
Screaming Hearts Everyone is waiting for you
"Wow! y-you're exquisite!" Brent blurted out when I was already in front of him. His eyes were clearly astounded by my look. My body-hugging gown that indeed shows off my curve added to his interest. "Damn! I am already jealous of those people who will see you tonight, baby." He held my waist and pulled me closer to him. "Can we just stay here? I just want you all by myself," he was still couldn't take his eyes off me while shaking his head. I chuckled and pinched his nose lightly "Silly! Everyone is waiting for you, Mr. CEO," and smirked with a hint of a tease. "Let's go because we're already late," I winked and he pouted in return. That made me leap out a laugh though I was trying to suppress it. How could he manage to be that handsome even he's acting like a child? I was like drowning in his charms. "Kiss me first!" he demanded sweetly. I wanted to protest but I was thinking we'll be staying longer if I won't give in.

"Kelsie, stand up!" Natalia was thrilled but I felt the opposite. I slowly sat up and my gaze landed on Olivia behind Natalia's group of tables. The bitch face was indescribable and like something bitter was poured into her. When I was able to stand on my two quivering legs, I inhaled a deep breath. All eyes were on me and I felt pressured to the core. I did a few steps but it was hard for me to go on. I'm not used to the kind of introduction and to face a lot of prominent and business people is no joke at all. "Kelsie, calm down," Natalia held my hand and pressed it gently. "C'mon I'll send you to the podium," her thoughtfulness eased a bit of my emotion. We walked slowly and as soon as we reached the stairs up to the platform, Brent met me and stretched his hand for me to accept. "I'm sorry, baby. I know I surprised you," he apologized sweetly. He mentioned being surprised but for me, I wasn't. Truth be told, I'm shocked and totally panicked. My

Aira pulled us together in the couch area and I could tell that Hailey is not in her usual self. The latter was acting odd since the previous night. Her energy was drained and like spirits were lifted away from her physically.I cleared my throat, "I met Gregory Linch last night," and spoke carefully. "I know he's the reason why you're acting strange," I held her hand and squeezed it gently. "Did you meet him last night?" I furrowed my brows and she shook her head instantly.We talked about it for almost half an hour and I've learned that Hailey's father's abrupt decision to attend the party upsets her. A day before that event, Zach informed her that their father couldn't make it due to prior engagement but changed his mind at the last minute. She was aware he's coming that was why she stayed away from the crowd and chose to spend her evening far from the people she knew to avoid any drama."And what about Hunter?" I couldn't shove her rude treatment to th

I decided not to pursue my law school because I knew that my coming days will be occupied. Natalia kept on pestering me about the preparation of the wedding and I appreciate all her ideas. I could tell that she's more excited than us and I understood that as a mother, every step in his only son's life is worthy of celebration."I like this design," I let Hailey do the wardrobe preparations. She's best in fashion and it's her cup of tea. She felt flattered when I told her that I will trust all the clothing in her hands."What wedding motif do you want?" Aira asked in good spirits while checking all the dresses that are hung in a rack at one of the best couturiers in town. Brent did not accompany us because I insisted it will be all girls bonding time. His suit could be measured anytime as soon as Hailey and I could choose the materials, design, and other things needed for the preparation of wardrobes."I like this vintage sunset orange. What do you think?"
Screaming Hearts This is not fun!
"How are you feeling?" Hailey was ecstatic because it's my wedding ceremony the next day. We were at a suite of a hotel pampering ourselves with beauty products she brought for us. "I'm nervous," I replied weakly and I was clearly unease.I recalled the previous night when Natalia hosted a small dinner gathering for all of us. The night was magical and I felt grateful for all the efforts she rendered to all of us. I wasn't able to have a bridal shower because I don't have a lot of people in my life to gather as I'm only living on my own aside from my friends. Natalia suggested that dinner and it served as a replacement party. Truth be told, our intimate garden wedding is only good for twenty people.To ease my emotion a bit, I changed our topic with Haileys. "Will you please tell us what really happened that night in the club?" I pursed my lips into a thin line. "Yes, I'm dying to hear it too!" our best supporting friend interjected from the washroom.
Screaming Hearts We can sort this out
I felt I was crushed into million pieces on the outcome of my actions. It was really true that regret comes at every end of our wrong decisions in life. But my intentions had a basis until I learned the truth of what really happened to my father. I knew that I humiliated Brent in front of his family and closest friends and I don't deserve their forgiveness.I'm so sorry," I told them repeatedly how much I remorse my evil plan of revenge. Natalia somehow understood my actions though I knew that she's a little disappointed that Brent was hurting. Only if I knew sooner about the truth, I might not be psychologically persecuted by my father. She knew that I was really bothered between my love for my father and my love for Brent. What concerned me the most was if Brent would believe me that I really love him despite that revenge I plotted on him."Prove to him that you really love him," Natalia convinced me carefully for us to settle our issues. I felt grateful

Emotionally distressed, I hailed a cab back to Hailey's apartment. While on our way, I was sobbing still that the driver got worried about me. "Are you alright?" he said softly but I shook my head. "Do you need anything?" he was trying to soothe me but my mind was wholly unfunctional.My phone quivered and when I checked on it, Hailey was calling me. I pushed the green button in loudspeaker and right away, "Where are you now?" she asked in a concerned tone.I told her that I'm on their street and in a few will step down of a cab. But before I could end the call, I felt the car wiggled alarmingly. "What is happening?" I felt really nervous because the driver was trying to maneuver and stop the car but it was hard. "Please, hold tight!" he exclaimed seriously before we crashed on a tree on the left side of the road."Kelsie! Kelsie!" I could hear Hailey freaked out from the other line but I felt really dizzy that I wasn't able to respond. The impact was strong and

When I dropped that call I grinned because finally, I could have her near me every day.I’d been waiting for that moment to get close to her.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying in a hospital bed with a machine beeping beside me and an IV attached to my hand. I looked around and I saw Aira standing and leaning on the wall wearily. When she noticed that I'm awake, "Kelsie!" she exclaimed worriedly."How are you feeling?" she asked hastily. "Hailey! Kelsie is awake," she called and I heard Hailey responded from the bathroom before she pushed the door open. "Thank goodness!" she murmured."I'm thirsty," I said weakly. Aira opened a bottle and put in a straw for me to sip conveniently. "Why am I in a hospital bed?" I asked but recalled that I wasn't feeling well before I fainted."Hailey, call Brent that she's up," Aira told her and she complied. They said I was out for eight hours because the doctor infused medicine for me to rest that long to recuperate from exhaustion. They informed me that Brent is coming shortly from the precinct with Hunter on the investigation of the fight that happened the previous

All of the guests gave her a round of applause as she paced to the front.Right at the beginning of her speech, she thanked each and everyone for coming and for celebrating her 55th birthday. She gave some words of wisdom and encouragement which was a good inspiration to take in. As she talked at the podium, you could tell that she's a warmhearted person. Her class and personality are like a match made in heaven. I felt so lucky to have her as my mother-in-law.When she was about to end her appreciation, she called her husband up for a clink.

"Open your eyes," the makeup artist which Natalia hired for me announced that we're done with the hair and makeup. She took an hour to finish applying the shades on my face and for me, that was fast. With a widened eyes and parted lips, I stilled at how she made me look splendid. She braided my hair and wrapped it around my head with a few strands left in front of my face."Do you like it?" Max asked cheerfully in his gay-ish tone. "Max, you have magic hands," I praised him heartily. I was able to attend an event in the past but the look and shades he blended for me for Natalia's birthday event is a total opposite. I mean, I was beautiful in the previous transformation but Max made it simple yet elegant."You're a standout tonight!" he exclaimed in vivid spirits. "Thank you, Max," I replied in awe. He pulled me toward the evening gowns which Hailey sent for me to choose. I thought she will only send a piece but she made three beautiful gowns in different colors.&

"Miss Olivia," she tried to intervene but the bitch warned her to stay away. "You slut, get back to your post!" she pointed to the station furiously but my anger rose at how she treated the poor assistant. "And why you allow that brat to make the office a playing ground?" she motioned at my son and I gritted my teeth in infuriation."You have no right to insult her!" I interrupted with a quivering voice. As I didn't want to distract Louie whose a few meters away from us and oblivious about what was happening around, I tried to lower my voice."Of course, you will defend her. Birds with the same feather flocks together," she taunted and that got me infuriated to the peak."Let's be clear here, Olivia!" I was firm with my words. "Why are you so angry with my comeback?

"It would be a happy birthday for me if you could come and celebrate with us," the excitement in her tone was evident.I knew that she's saying it carefully because she doesn't want me to feel hesitant.
