Chapter 90: Working on Ourselves
Faith’s P.O.V
The moment I saw Brandon walk into my room once again, carrying a small bouquet of flowers…I knew that everything I had told myself in the last half hour…everything I tried to make myself believe; that he was gone for good, and that I was better off without him…it was all going to come crashing down around me in a matter of seconds.
“Why are you back?” I asked in an almost inaudible voice. “I told you I didn’t want to see you anymore.”
I was tired…just tired. Everything was overwhelming at the moment. From the way I reacted to seeing Brandon after hearing the news about my false pregnancy from the doctors, to how I was feeling after seeing him once again…this mix of frustration and hope.
All these feeling were overwhelming my senses, making me question my sanity. I didn’t know if it was from t

Because I smell something fishy. I was hoping to find you guys’ knee deep in each other already but you sending away Brandon? Nope…definitely fishy. And I promise I’m wearing new underwear.”“Eww!” I scrunched up my nose before another sigh left my lips. At this rate, I’ll be spending the rest of my life in misery, because my mother used to say that one sigh equals one unhappy day. “I…told him to apol

Chapter 92: MisunderstandingsFaith’s P.O.VShit!A sudden thought occurred in my head as I watched the two officers enter my room, led by the doctor, as Debby stood up from her chair to face them, almost taking a protective stance in front of me.What if…did the cops find out about the race course?Ethan did mention that it was illegal, right? That I shouldn’t be there? That only selected people got invited into the arena?There were cops at the entrance as well…keeping their eyes on anyone who didn’t belong there…Was that why they were here?Did they…want to take me to prison? Because I went there even though I hadn't been invited?Dear lord! I should’ve told Debby before I went! Or at least I should’ve called someone! Then I wouldn’t be in trouble right now…“Doctor? Officers’?” Debby’s worried voice cut through my pensive thoughts. “What’s the matter? Is everything alright?”“Only Ms. Millar can help us devise that, I’m afraid.” The doctor answered, his expression rigid as he wel
The Bad Boy's Innocent Obsession Chapter 93: Unexpected Confrontations
Chapter 93: Unexpected Confrontations Brandon’s P.O.V The plain white walls of the six storied apartment building brought on a bittersweet avalanche of memories as I got out of the elevator on the second floor and walked down the almost familiar hallways before coming to a stop in front of the same door where I had stood in front of countless times before. Memories from the past came rushing back in waves, making me recall all the times I had stood in front of this very door, sometimes with an expensive bouquet of roses in my hand and sometimes with takeout from a fine dining restaurant. How many times had we slammed these very doors? Sometimes in passion, sometimes in anger and sometimes in dejection? Time was indeed a funny thing, wasn’t it? Because once, when these same emotions had threatened to engulf me in agony…now they were like fleeting images at the back of my mind, hardly evoking even a quarter of the same emotions that I had once felt for the woman who lived behind the

Chapter 94: Calling a TruceBrandon’s P.O.VThe weight of every revelation that Scott had just reveled to me came crashing down on me.How had I not noticed any of this?Julia’s parent’s getting a divorce? Julia’s mother turning into an alcoholic? Scott taking up the void that I had left in her life?How had I been so ignorant all this time?What made it worse was the fact that I didn’t remember anything from that time. The whole year, from the time my mother died, to the time that woman, my father’s secretary seduced me into sleeping with her…to the point where I was driven by my irrational hate and anger towards the rest of the world…all of it was one big blacked out blur and I could hardly remember any of it.I tried to remember the times when I had ignored Julia. When I had ignored Scott and Cole and Sagar…But all of it was a blur. N

Chapter 95: Don’t Want TroubleFaith’s P.O.VI didn’t particularly like this feeling of helplessness…not at all. And I wasn’t even worried about myself at the moment.The cops stayed in the room, keeping their watchful eyes on me as if I was going to get up and jump out the window to escape them. Well…unfortunately, this wasn’t some kind of survival episode and I was definitely not into Fast and Furious. Besides, I just had a surgery!How did they expect me to escape when I was barely able to move without support?I kept looking at the clock on the wall, waiting desperately for someone, anyone, to arrive! Debby waited patiently by my side, her hand in mine a kind of reassurance that everything was going to be alright and that help was on its way.However, even though the clock seemed to tick at a snail’s pace and a minute felt like an eternity, I didn’t actually have to wait long before people started pouring into my room.First came my aunt and George, their worried faces instantly l

Chapter 96: ForgivenessFaith’s P.O.VBrandon and I faced Julia alone, Scott deciding to wait outside for the time being.Even though I wanted Brandon beside me, I didn’t show it. Neither did I tell him. Instead, I watched him take a seat on one of the couches on the opposite side of the room, far from me and Julia.I knew he was giving us space, letting me and her settle our differences. It was what was most important. But at the same time, I couldn’t help but miss his presence, his support.No matter how brave of a front I put up…I was still worried about what had transpired between him and Julia at her house.“Thank you…” Julia told me now, her eyes appearing haunted as she looked up at me tiredly. “For not complaining against me…even after everything I did…”I saw tears well up in her eyes as she swallowed hard, her emotions clearly all over the place. “Why? Why did you help me? I’ve been the shittiest person to you…I’ve bullied you, spoke badly about you…tried to steal Brandon aw

I’m getting discharged today.”“Yup. Just heard the reception discussing that.” He came forwards to stand beside the bed, where I sat already dressed in casual clothing, ready for the nurses to take me out as soon as Brandon was done with the paperwork. “How are you? Bran told me everything…about what happened yesterday.”I nodded, sad that everything had to come to this. “I’m glad everything is over now.” I told him. “And I can start over from scratch. It’s all a new beginning for all of us.”Ethan gave me a look that said that even though it was a new beginning for some of us…there were still lingering feelings left.“At least I still get to be friends with you.” He finally said with a sigh. “But if Brandon treats you bad again…I will

Chapter 98: The First DateFaith’s P.O.V“Finally! Exams are over!” Nik threw her hands up in the air as she did a little ‘happy dance’ before turning to Debby and me. “Let’s go out this evening!”“Go out? Where?” I asked, raising my eyebrows skeptically.Usually, Nik’s idea of going out wasn’t the best of plans. The last time we went out together, not only did she get the wrong address, but we were thrown out of the club since none of us had fake IDs and we weren’t allowed in unless we were twenty one.Now, I watched as Debby nodded enthusiastically to Nik’s proposal, ever the supportive girlfriend…even though I was starting to worry about what trouble they were going to get into this time.“Leave me out.” I sighed, walking down the stairs to join them at the courtyard. “I’ll be heading home first.”“Why? Do you have plans already?” Debby smirked with a knowing look in her eyes.“I do.” I nodded, laughing at her expression. “Brandon asked me out on a date.”“Oh! Really!” Nik looked a
