“We will see who has been lenient very soon.” George said . George dialed Ann’s number to check up on her. She picked the call and they talked about work. She updated him on how far they have gone with the work. Ann noticed something was wrong for her dad to call her by that time of the night. “Dad,are you okay? You sound worried. Did you have an issue with your wife again?” Ann said. “No my dear,I’m fine. I’m just tired from working all day.” George said“Are you hiding things from me now? I thought we agreed that there would be no secrets between us.” Ann said“Yeah,we did but like I said earlier there’s nothing wrong with me.” George said“It’s obvious that you’re lying to me.” Ann said “As if you’ve always been honest with me. Can you boldly tell me that you’ve never hidden anything from me?” Her dad said“You know I don’t hide anything from you.” Ann replied“If you say so. Are you okay? Did you drink?” George said, finally noticing a change in her voice.“Yes dad. I went out
Martha’s house. “You’ve been quiet ever since you arrived here. If you are not going to tell me what’s going on,then just cheer up or get out of my house.” Martha said angrily. She’s been trying to hold a conversation with Ann but it’s not working. Ann has been moody and every effort Martha made to change her mood has proved abortive and it pissed her off. Ann was taken aback by what Martha said. She has not seen this side of Martha in a very long time.“Hey,chill. Are you really sending me out of your house?” Ann said “Like I said earlier,if you’re not ready to talk then leave my house. I’ve been trying to reach you ever since you came back from the trip but you’ve been avoiding me, and you come to my house today looking all moody.” Martha said“I’m sorry. I just came here to relax.” Ann said “And when did that start? Is my house now a place you come when you’re troubled?” Martha asked“Why are you making things hard for me? You know that’s not what I meant.” Ann said “Tell me w
“I remember everything now.” Henry said“What!! You remember her face and everything that happened? Is that what you’re saying?” Ethan asked “Yes, I guess it’s some sort of miracle.” Henry said“Tell me how it happened. We’ve been on this issue for a couple of years and you couldn’t remember anything,and the memories suddenly pop up when you meet her. How long have you known about it?” Ethan said“It’s really crazy Ethan. It happened the day I took her out for a drink. We were so into the conversation,she was really comfortable with me and telling me a lot of things about her but I suddenly got this feeling,as if I’ve heard it before. I was familiar with most of the things she was telling me. Like I was able to figure out what she was going to say next and it felt weird. I didn’t take it seriously until I kissed her. The moment she returned the kiss,all the memories came back with clear images.” Henry explained.“That’s crazy. So did you stop the kiss or did you continue?” Ethan aske
“Why didn’t you reply to my text?” You ghosted me.” Ann said “I just didn’t think it was necessary for me to reply since Bryan relayed the message through your personal assistant . He told me he texted her when we arrived,so if you had asked her then she would have told you.” Henry said coldly.“I texted you because I wanted to hear from you, not from my assistant. The least you could have done is to reply.” Ann said “I thought that’s what we’re doing now,we talk to each other through our assistants. You started it first and I’m cool with it. So I’m just returning the gesture.” Henry said.“You don’t have to be petty about it,you could have talked to me if I did something wrong.” Ann said“You think I’m petty now? You ignored me first as if nothing ever happened. I thought we had something.” Henry said“Yeah,honestly we did. I was just scared,that’s all.” Ann said“Scared of what? You think I’m going to break your trust or what?” Henry said“That’s not what I’m trying to say. I just
“Okay. The guy she’s getting engaged to tomorrow evening is my ex-fiancé.” Ann said and looked at Henry’s face. He was shocked beyond words. He couldn’t really understand what she’s trying to get across.“I thought you said she’s your sister? Why would your sister get engaged to someone you were once engaged to? She’s supposed to be on your side helping you to deal with him for breaking your heart, and she’s getting engaged to him? How is that even possible?” Henry said“It’s a long story. Moreover, I never said he broke my heart, I only said I was dumped. How did you come up with that conclusion? Ann said “Is it possible for you to get dumped without getting heartbroken?” Henry said“Yeah,it is. It was a contract marriage so I was never in love with him. I just did it for the sake of the company.” Ann said “That’s crazy. What is your family saying about it? Are they not against the idea?” Henry asked “If they were,there would not be any event tomorrow.” Ann said “Do you have to g
“That’s a good idea. You can let go of such a sweet man because of those animals in human form.” Martha said. “I really can’t believe mom will do that. She actually went as far as organizing a party for her knowing I had a history with Ben. She’s really a special case.” Ann said“She’s openly letting you know that her daughter is all she cares about and no one else. What’s your dad doing about it?” Martha said “He asked me and I said I’m fine with it. I asked him to allow her to do whatever she wants to do.” Ann said “Why would you even say that? You could ruin things for her.” Martha said “What would I gain from doing that? I can’t let their issue bother me.” Ann said “That’s true. Just forget about them, I will go with you tomorrow and protect you throughout the ceremony.” Martha said“Thank you my superwoman.” Ann said with a smile“So how are things between you and Henry? Any progress? Has he officially confessed his feelings?” Martha said “I just apologized to him today and
“I will doll you up so pretty that he will be so mesmerized when he sees you.” Martha said “I hope so too. I want to impress him but I don’t want to do too much.” Ann said “Don’t worry, I will take care of it.” Martha said “Let’s just take a nap for about an hour or two. I’m really exhausted.” Ann said Martha agreed and they took a nap for about two hours. By the time they woke up,it was about two hours to the time she was supposed to meet Henry. She got up immediately and went into the bathroom to take her bath. She woke Martha up after she finished bathing for her to help her dress up. Martha started with her make up,it was a light make-up just as Ann wanted it. She styled her hair in a ponytail with three partings by the left side of the hair. Ann wore her dress and a pair of earrings to fit. She brought out pencil heels and a bag to match. By the time they finished their dressing,Henry’s driver was already at Martha’s gate. Martha escorted Ann to the door.“Why do I feel so n
“It’s about what actually happened three years ago.” Henry said and Ann looked so surprised. She wondered what he was going to talk about. “What about it?” Ann said “Before I proceed, I want to apologize to you for the way I reacted when you tried to talk about it the first time we met. I didn’t expect to see someone who knows about that night in such a place.”Henry said “You’ve apologized to me already, why are you bringing it up again?” Ann said “It seems you’re not listening to me. The thing is, I regained my memory of that night.” Henry said“What memory are you talking about? Can you please talk in a way that I will understand instead of going through corners?” Ann said “Okay. I lost my memory of that night. I couldn’t remember anything when I woke up the next morning ,not even how I got there. I was going to ask you about it but I had an emergency. I received a call from home that my mom passed away that morning so I had to leave immediately. The duvet was covering your f
