AVERY“Why are you always doing this? You're acting so entitled that I'm fed up with your character,” I lamented.She didn't show any remorse, rather she just scoffed loudly, ignoring all of my complaints and this was one issue that I had with her.She never gave any attention or listening ear to whatever I was saying and it was starting to get on my nerves making me think that she never regards anything that I say.“You know what? I'm fed up with you too. I don't want to have to deal with this crap and your standards are not good enough for me.”She was saying that to me after everything that I had done for her career. I scoffed loudly, accepting the outcome of the argument and knowing where it was going to land.“You want to break up with me? Is that what you're trying to say?” I demanded to know but she just looked away, acting like I wasn't even there.Anger submerged through me and I felt raged by her attitude. “Are you going to answer me or do you want to know the outcome of tes
LUKEI arrived early at the office mostly because I needed to get some work done. It wasn't like me to arrive before eight am but I wanted to get it over with so that I could leave early.I was about to enter my office when I saw a reflection of someone that looked like Henry and I wasn't surprised that it turned out to be Henry.He's probably trying to impress Avery and the rest by arriving early to work. I just shook my head and wanted to walk past my office until I heard something that sounded very suspicious.“Yes, I've tried looking for it but it's nowhere to be seen,” he complained.I immediately looked for where to hide so that he wouldn't notice that I had arrived or someone was nearby. What could he possibly be looking for? Maybe a file that he lost.What the fuck am I even doing? I'm creating excuses for him?I cringed at the idea but also couldn't deny that it could be true. I wanted to shrug off the idea and go back to my office rather than eavesdropping on him. I have a b
As Luke walked to his office, his mind ran in different directions as to what could lead to the sudden question from Avery.What could have made Avery ask such a question? He must have been recalling his memories and this moment is ticking to set off soon. “I must inform Bella about this, so she gets prepared for the worst” he mutters lightly.Not seeing Henry who came out of his office to grab a coffee, he strolled briskly to his office and sat down. The cold sensation from the giant AC couldn't cool down the heat of thoughts burning through him at that moment.He took his phone and placed a call to Bella. She didn't pick up after two rings and he resolved she must be busy and will call back.He drifts away looking dazed at the screen of his TV when he jerks back as his phone ringing tone rings aloud. Looking at the phone, he sees Bella as the caller.“Hello, Henry, good day, sorry I was not close to my phone when you called but I called back as soon as I saw the missed calls. Did an
The whole scene bubbled in the mind of Bella, as she felt all these never happened. She knew she couldn't hop out this time, and prayed for this to come to an end. She pondered on her life. As she never imagined this could be her, taking herself down to memory, before meeting Avey.She saw herself as a bait to Avey and wished this never happened. Knowing the game of Luke, she felt battered and empty. “Will I be the bait for his downfall”, she murmured to herself, as she kept her gaze at the mirror on the mirror. In the dilemma of two, as she wanted wealth, at least to have wealth but never wanted to be a partaker.Jessica, a friend of Bella, who couldn't condone the silence, as she walked into her room, unnoticed to Bella. “Hey girl, what bugs your mind”. This time, Bella knows she has spent longer than expected, she gives in to lying as a resort, “hey Jessie, I never knew when you came in”, not rising from her bed. “I do know and this makes me wonder what you could make you be in th
She hurriedly walk into the office, as she felt she might be late, considering the time she was being delayed in the bid of getting a cab. She walked into the receptionist office and attested her signature for her presence. Knowing fully well how strict my boss could be when it comes to late coming and laziness at work.She walked down to her office as fast as she could. Remembering the files she was editing and submitting this morning. This heightened her movements. In fear of her boss, she got to her office and started doing the needful, she silently prays to meet up the time, “as time waits for no one”, she murmured out as she rushed up the work. Hearing the walking steps of her boss, as she speeds up the more, as the work seems impossible to finish. “Bella”, a voice called, but this time she did not respond, wanting to affirm that it was her name she was calling. “Bella!!!”, the voice called again but this time it was harsher than the first. Sensing this was the voice of her bos
Bella POVWith a startle, “Nooo" Bella sat up with prickles of tears dripping. After hanging up on a call with Luke, she decided to take a nap to digest the full-blown information delivered to her.“What kind of dream is that? Or is it my thought playing with me?Will I break up with Avery that soon and become enemies? Who is Jessie, I haven't had any friends since I was a kid. Seems I had gotten a job to leverage the moment spent with Avery and take up something to keep me busy but I can't delude myself when I know I love Avery so much and I have fallen so deep. I might as well brace myself for the worst” she said with an air of determination.Getting up, she walks into the restroom to change into something more comfortable with the mindset of paying a visit to her Dad. She feels the danger signs lurking around the air and knows that whatever will happen between her and Avery will have to stand the faith of love.Grabbing her purse, she makes her way to the gate not without instruct
“I had a strange dream this morning, and it was a heated argument between me and my girlfriend. You know that Bella is my girlfriend but it wasn't Bella I saw in her dream” Avery said with a pause.“Then who did you encounter or whose face did you see?" Dr. Green asked carefully.“I saw Ava's face and remembered the lady I spoke of. The lady who holds a strong claim that she is my girlfriend, not Bella. She claims Bella is an imposter and is out to bootlick me. I had never believed for once about her story but I found it strange that I could have such a dream and the closeness and impact weren't something that had strangeness attached to them. I don't know what to do or who to believe, that's why I decided to call and fix up an appointment. The earlier I understand or get back my memory, the better it will be for everyone. My actions lately might hurt the ones closest to me and don't wish for that” Avery fixed on his thoughts.“Why don't you come around on Friday, that's next tomorrow
“ I will have to come clean then, so you found out about my affair with Jen. Then, I had nothing to hide, so I called to ask for a ransom from you. You'll have to pay me 10 thousand dollars if not I will expose to your darling boyfriend that you are a fraud” Mikel's laughter echoed through the phone.“Wha what do you mean by that?" Bella answered shakily."I know, you are the fake girlfriend, Jen found out after she had seen you. We went to your apartment and you weren't there, so we asked around and we were told that your poor father is in the hospital and we figured out everything. You will play along or we will have no option but to meet up with Ava, we know she is the ex-girlfriend of Avery, not you. You are hooking to him because he lost his memory and took him as his girlfriend. Bella my dear, don't feel so high. You will need to share the riches you have been enjoying. You don't work again and you are living off comfortably. It's your take on the matter right now. Call me when
