NARRATOR Alex inhaled sharply upon the sight of Rose. He closed and opened his eyes, but she was still there and he was doomed. Rose gasped, taking some wary steps back as she saw the faces that weren't supposed to be there. That was when she realized she'd actually done something unreasonable, she'd done this, not even stopping to give Alex a call. How was she supposed to know that her husband was already one step ahead of her? She just stood there at the entrance, heart racing in her chest, not knowing whether to take a step into the room or turn back and make a run for it. She felt like the ground could just open and swallow her. The look on Rock's face showed how disappointed, disgusted and angry he was and, at this point, she knew the man could do anything to her. She'd been careful, discreet and calculated with her moves all these years only to mess up at the end. Her situation rightly fits the saying 'everyday for the thief and one day for the owner'. "I'm screwed" was
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Katherine looked up, her brows furrowed as she stared questioningly at the young man standing before her. He just smiled at her, before sitting opposite her."It's you that I should be asking the same question. What are you doing here, Ms. Whites?" Eric smiled, folding his hand to his chest while leaning his back against the chair. He looked intently at Katherine, who seemed to be immersed in sadness."How did you know that I was here?""Have you forgotten that you called me?""Oh that's true, I called you.""I assume the spicy food you're gulping down made you forget, and I will try to ignore the liquid in the bottle. Why are you here looking so moody and sad?""Huhmm..." Katherine sighed loudly, dropping her spoon, while she picked up the glass of whiskey from the table and drank. She placed the glass back on the table after downing the drink. She then looked up at Eric, who had a confused expression on his face."When I left that luxurious store tha
The dark sky slowly fades like a foam, and the daylight eagerly takes over. It was the dawn of a new day!"Ahhh..." Katherine groaned, rolling onto her side, while she held onto her head as a piercing headache hit her. She slowly sat up, squinting her eyes, as she slowly scanned the room, sighing in relief when she realized she was in her room. Then the events of yesterday began flooding into her head. "Hmm?" she gasped, covering her mouth with the palm of her hand when she realized she was in her pajamas. Her face instantly flushed from embarrassment, as she gritted her teeth in regret. She quickly grabbed her phone, dialing the number of the only person she could remember spending the previous evening with. "Hello" a raspy voice was heard from the other end of the call. "Hey, that you're gay doesn't mean you should take off a woman's dress without her consent. How dare you look at my body without my permission?" Katherine wasted no time in voicing her disappointment and anger.
KATHERINE One whole week had passed and my boss’s attitude towards me remained the same. If anything, it had worsened, his poker face and chilling Aura had increased tremendously. Scary. Once again, I'm back to the old times; forcing myself to put up with the stressful and draining atmosphere while working. I'm now subjected to pressure, while making sure that I do my job carefully and diligently to avoid getting scolded or reprimanded by my sudden strange and angry boss.I sighed, as I leaned back on my chair, letting my mind wander a little. However, the only memory that came flooding my line of vision was one certain day which I won't forget easily. I shuddered, shutting my thoughts immediately. On that very day, I had been so careless and in haste, that I omitted some vital information in the review which I gave to him and he had given me the scold of my life with so much rage. Although I have been getting all the shouting and scolding in abundance from him lately and it
Rock got to the terrified woman and paused as he slowly knelt before her. His lips curled slightly as he threw her a scary smile, frightening her the more. He knew exactly how he looked at the moment and the effect his appearance had on her. She was afraid of him. He couldn't help but wonder why she never considered this moment when she decided to throw her slutty self into another man's arms."Did you ever love me, for once in the past three years? All those times you professed your love to me, those smiles and kisses, those memories. Was anything from you ever real? Was it all an act to keep deceiving me? " He suddenly asked, pain in his voice as he stared curiously at her. "Yes," Rose nodded firmly. "I did love you. Not all the memories were lies," she said, while Rock just chuckled with a shake of his head. Although Rose was trying hard to make her voice sound as believing as possible, she knew that he didn't buy the lies."I'm really sorry," Rose continued to plead. "I real
Jason's mouth was hanging wide open, eyes filled with confusion and horror like he had seen the scariest thing in his entire life. He didn't even shake when he heard a slight knock from the door. Then he was shocked even more when the door was pushed open and it was unexpectedly his brother, Rock. He just blinked, still speechless, as he stared bewilderedly at Rock, who simply walked into the office with his hands in his pockets."What did my wife say to you?" Rock's voice was calm and chilly, as it echoed in the quiet room. Jason swallowed hard, but couldn't say anything. He just stared at his brother like he'd suddenly developed another head. In his head, he was trying to understand what was going on between the couple. They were really scaring him with their weird behavior. "I d-don't know," he slowly stuttered. He really didn't know what to say. He was still trying to wrap his head around what had just happened in his office seconds ago. It was unimaginable
Stepping into one of the most expensive restaurants in town, Jason was led to a private room. Knowing fully well that his brother was waiting for him, he did not hesitate to follow. Before going in, he had to stop and take a deep breath as he inhaled and exhaled, only pushing the door open when he was good to go. He was deeply stressed and concerned about the situation of his brother's marriage. The new development between Rock and Rose was so shocking and unexpected that he didn't know how to take it in. He couldn't believe that they were really getting a divorce, just like that. They were the sweetest couple he had ever known in his life. But it wasn't a joke anymore. Rose had confessed to him about cheating on his brother, shocking him. It was as if a knife was stabbed into his heart when she'd confessed to him and it only took all of his effort to remain calm and not lash out at her. He could only imagine how his brother was feeling at that moment. Of course, he would
The two men were quiet.While Rock was lost in his world, he was enjoying his drink. Jason was still thinking about what he had just heard. But then, he was startled when Rock suddenly leaned forward, staring into his eyes."What?" Jason blinked confusedly. "I was recently told that I would remain lonely all my life, which I don't mind, by the way. You're my brother after all, and I know you wouldn't betray me like the others", Rock suddenly paused, thinking a little before speaking again. "I just want to tell you that you're lucky for making the right choice because I wouldn't hesitate to cut you off if you had attempted to make the wrong decision,"Jason swallowed hard. However, he couldn't help but smile when he heard the last part of Rock's words. Nevertheless, his heart still ached for the man who was silently dying in pain and he wished he could do anything to ease his suffering." Of course, I would never betray you for anything. Even though we don't share the same father, y
