She knew she had no space in his heart, why did he feel the need to remind her of that? She felt like covering herself up with the bed sheet and crying to her heart's content, but she could not. No matter how much he was going to decline talking to her, she would not give up. She owed him that little explanation. Even if he eventually fired her, she did not want to be reminded as a bad person.
Desmond removed his hands from his pockets and attempted to leave the room. He suddenly didn't feel like being in the same room as her. What she did was awful and he was not ready to forgive her yet. How could she even think there was anything like 'us'? Well, he would have actually considered that if he had not found o

Desmond carried Faith and helped her settle in the back seat of his car while her mother and Amirah stood some centimeters away."My dear, are you sure you don't want to follow me home?" her mother asked, trying to convince her unyielding daughter who only shook her head and forced a smile on her pale face."I'm fine, mum. It's just some sprained ankle, not cancer," Faith joked and earned a laugh from them all.Desmond walked up to Amirah and smiled. "Hop in, I'm taking you home."The little girl folded her hands around her chest and tilted her head totally to the back to look at him and it was almost touching her back. "So, how did it go?"

Mr. Smith called his family together and decided to tell them the truth about his past relationship. He had been haunted for the past few weeks for neglecting his second family and not taking responsibilities as a father and a husband."Dad, can you please talk? I told you that I need to visit Gabriel," Ava said in haste. She had just gotten used to addressing the man as her father and that was because he had played a vital role in convincing her mother to accept Gabriel as the love of her life, not because she really liked the man.Smith cleared his throat and looked at his wife who said nothing. He had been speechless for over twenty minutes and it was obvious they were impatient already. "Uhm… I just think it's abou

Faith was hearing some noise outside the gate and tried to get out of her room while limping to see what was going on. It seemed to be a lot of noise and she could only hope it was not some armed robbers. But what kind of robbers would rob in the morning? She laughed at her own joke and finally made it to the gate and peeped through. What she saw amazed her?The press? What were they doing there? She turned around to go and call the attention of her boss even though she was as slow as a snail because of her ankle which had not gotten any better. Finally, she made it to the door post of her boss and had raised her hand to knock when he opened the door."What is happening downstairs?" It was obvious he could hear them as

Faith rushed out of her bathroom as she heard her phone ringing, thinking it could be her boss. He had been acting strange lately, ever since the reporters left. He had been giving her cold shoulders. He no longer called her to run errands for him and he had not left the house either, but she knew he was alive and well. He even stopped picking her calls, only calling her when she needed her to bring wines from the cellar. But of course, she did not mind since she was used to that. That was who he was even if he had started melting his stone heart. She really wished she could understand why he was turning hot at one point and cold at another.She could not lay a finger on what his problem was, but she knew it had to do with his past. She got to where her phone was in the living room and saw the caller. "Hello, mum?" Sh

She lost it at that moment. He was what? In love with her? She could not help not getting angry. He was suddenly in love with her after seeing her naked? She removed her hands from his and looked at him in the eyes. "You're in love with me?"Desmond sighed. "I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I just realized —""When you saw me naked." She butted in. "You suddenly realized you should have fucked me a long time ago cause you liked what you saw, right?""Hell, no! That's absurd, F…""What's absurd is you tel

"What?" Faith exclaimed as she rose to her feet at the restaurant her mother had asked to meet her. What was her mother talking about? What was she saying? She had even thought they had to meet at home and perhaps talk about this and that, only for her mother to text her the address of the restaurant where they would be meeting.She could not even lay a finger on what she could define as what she was feeling at that moment. Anger? Hurt? Frustration? She could not say."Calm down and have your seat, Faith," her mother said as she touched her hand but her daughter immediately removed her hand from hers."How can you tell

Faith said nothing as they began their meeting. The look she gave her father when he apologized for being so irresponsible could make anyone commit suicide. She was grateful that her father did not meet her eyes during his talk or he would have no choice but to be short of words.She was mad at the whole thing and even got madder when her mother confirmed that she had forgiven him, just only after a few talks. How could that be? Love could really blind you from the truth, she concluded."Faith?" his father's wife called and she looked up at her.What did she have in her mind to say? The way she even called her name was awful.

"What! They were lovers? Are you kidding?" Faith exclaimed as she set down a cup of coffee on the table for Desmond. He had just told her what she could have never imagined in her wildest dreams. How could her best friend and his best friend be lovers? Well, they used to be. But no one told her. Eunice never mentioned that, but she remembered her sulking over an ex that she didn't know and her friend didn't want to talk to her about it. But to imagine that to be Adamson? Wow! She remembered when they had gone to his birthday party. She had asked Eunice if she knew the celebrant, but she had said Adamson was her friend's boss. Desmond nodded. "I'm not kidding." "Oh, my God! When did you know? And why didn't you tell me?"

"I do, Desmond. And yes, I said so, but I was only trying to come up with excuses not to love you because you don't love. You stopped loving. I didn't plan on falling in love with you. I didn't want to get hurt. It just happened. And I'm sorry. I am sorry for everything."In less than a second, he was hugging her. Oddly, he felt relieved as he did so. He sighed as he noticed her leaning into him. It was as if she needed that and was waiting for him to do so. "You don't have to be sorry. Look at me," he said and put her at arm's length.She locked eyes with him. His eyes were searching hers as if there was something he was looking for. And he seemed so sad and happy at the same time."I love you, Faith. Everything is all complicated but that is how I feel. When you subm

Faith and her best friend were giving the dance their best and doing perfectly well in relieving their stress. Faith could feel her burdens eased a little. Maybe if she danced a few more times, everything would be fine.Her eyes strayed to the corner of the club and back at her friend, but she suddenly stopped dancing and looked back at the place her eyes had strayed to earlier. She had seen someone so familiar. Extremely familiar."Desmond?" She said as she watched the person turned his back to her and walked away and against her will, she followed the man.Not wanting to lose the person and to make sure he was the one, she followed behind hurriedly. She hid behind a wall and peeped at the man as he stopped and started talking to a lady. He glanced her way

Faith became agaped at the sight of where her friend brought her. "A club?" She laughed.Eunice nodded. "Yeah. You should get rid of your stress. There's a lot you can do here. And who knows ? You might actually find the one here."Faith smiled. She didn't believe that. Her friend should know that. Yeah, she believed she could find love anywhere. But clubs? Nah. And besides, finding love wasn't on her to-do list.Judging from her expression, Eunice knew what she was thinking, so she said, "Well, you never know what could happen. Shall we go in?"As they walked along the pathway, Faith recognized the place and smiled. "I've been here a few times."

The client looked confused for a moment, not understanding what he meant. "I don't under—""Oh, sorry about that. I'm listening to you. You can continue," he said, giving a deep sigh, but it seemed the man had already gotten angry with the way he sprang from his seat."How can I continue when you don't even believe it to be my story? What would I gain from telling you another story and waiting in line for my appointment? What would I gain from wasting money —""I am really sorry, sir. Please, have your seat." Desmond did not know what else to say. He did not even feel like counseling anyone that day. His day had been ruined already."I am out of here," the man said and left his office angrily.

"Sir, I can explain what you heard why I said that. I really didn't mean it. I was just on the phone with my friend and – and.. I don't even know. Allow me to explain, please," she pleaded.Her boss could only smile. There was no need for to explain nor were there any reason to deny meaning it. It did not mean anything. He knew what to do. "I will give what you want." He walked back to his swivel chair and sat. He saw an envelope on his desk and opened, wondering what it was about.It was her resignation letter. When did she put that on his desk? Probably when she came in first to drop his briefcase. He raised it up for her to see. "I will approve this. Just one last thing, thank you so much for your hard work and for putting up with my attitude. Most especially, I really appreciate you for making me open up m

"You're going to resign?" Desmond asked before smiling. He looked at Faith, hoping to see any sign of sarcasm in her expression but he found none. "Aren't you joking?"Faith shook her head. "No, sir. I can not joke about such a thing. I am serious, sir," Faith said.Her boss sighed. What was he going to do? Yes, he was mad at her for what she did. For what she heard her say, but he was not expecting what he had just heard. He had never expected a resignation. Well, he knew she was going to quit the job one day, but he did not expect it to be so soon.Why was she resigning, though? Was something wrong? Has she gotten herself a new job? He did not know the exact thing to choose as her reason for wanting to resign.

Faith woke up earlier than usual. It was more like she had no sleep at all. No matter how much she tried and rolled on the bed she found very comfortable, she could not bring herself to have a peaceful sleep without tearing up. She just wished she could lace her fingers on the exact thing that was happening to her, but too bad. She could not.She got dressed and when it was time to go to her boss, she hesitated. She did not want to go there just to get her day more ruined. It was bad enough. But did she have a choice? She heaved a long sigh and started walking into the main house. Very soon, she would be free. She would be dropping her resignation letter very soon and would be liberated from him and the pains he had been giving her.She decided to finally let everything go. She decided to forget him and move o

"Hi. You're back," Faith asked as she entered the main building and sighted her boss sitting on one of the chairs with his head in his hands.He could only nod as a reply. How could she be jovial after uttering those words about him? He could have never been more disappointed."Are you okay?"He nodded in his palms again.Faith became worried. What was going on? She walked closer and went to sit beside him. It was obvious that he was down. He did not even look up at her. She tried to touch his shoulder but refrained in t
