"Alex, do you think you were right?" Bryan questioned. Alex cocked his head towards Bryan's direction. "What are you saying? What was I right about?"Bryan's eyes were closed and two of his fingers were on his forehead. He didn't utter a word giving Alex enough reason to think he was actually talking gibberish.He was fully drunk after all. Bryan still didn't utter a word but continued drinking from the bottle right in front of him. Alex, who had been on his phone the entire time, decided to pay close attention to his friends.It had been two days since she left his life for good, and he was already acting this way. Bryan had finally signed the divorce papers too and everything had been finalized. Now, they were no longer married couples and now she no longer had anything to do with him, or a single right over whatever was his.Taylor had said. "You are now a stranger to me, and I hope I won't be the one suffering again whenever we meet next time. She had returned to take some of the
Alex thought of giving up completely. Maybe it wasn't just meant to be. Of course, he could do it. He tried to tell himself this, but deep down, he knew it would be impossible.He continued staring at her, till she touched his hand which made him return back to his senses immediately. Once she let go of his hand, he looked away from her eyes, and sucked a deep breath in to control himself. "Bryan's home already. You don't have to worry about him.""Why wasn't he picking up my calls? Were you with him?"Alex nodded his head in response to the question. "I'll go check up on him early in the morning.""No. I need to go check up on him now. I'm fucking worried." As she turned to walk away he grabbed her arm. In the past, he did this most of the time when they were still in college, but now, a different feeling came with it."Bryan's going through some shit right now, and he needs to be alone. I don't think it's the perfect time for you to visit him."Stella bit her lower lips. "It's abou
Bryan opened his eyes with a bad headache. His head kept pounding and he needed to get himself some drugs. As he tried to stand on his feet, he fell back on the bed and groaned.He looked on the table close to him, but there wasn't any drug, or glass of warm water. He groaned again, recalling that Taylor was gone. She always did that for him whenever he got back home drunk.He groaned again, rising on his feet and found his slippers. He opened the door and walked out of the room heading straight for the living room.The usual aroma of the food he usually perceived wasn't the same anymore. When he came to the dining room, his favourite meals were waiting for him. He stared at it wondering how Katie knew all of his favourite dishes.Mrs Katie stared at him, but didn't utter a word. She didn't want to bring Taylor's name, or say it in front of him because to her, it looked like he was suffering enough with her absence.A knock was rasped on the door.Bryan walked towards it and once he o
Taylor walked back into her home tired and weak. As she laid on the couch, she dropped the container of the ice tea on the table. Something had just told her not to throw it out in a bin outside.She stared at it and suddenly recalled the stranger who had saved her earlier. If there was a way she could repay the favor without getting too close to him, then she would have definitely done it.She thought of calling Talia, but hell no. That friend of hers was going to give her a fucking crazy idea filled with naughty things.She rose on her feet, and walked towards the fridge to go get a glass of water. The heart pain, it wasn't gone yet, but at least, if she skipped her drugs one day, nothing so bad would happen to her. The next thing was to go see a doctor, but she wasn't planning on doing so immediately until a few weeks later.After taking her pills, she walked back to the couch and sat on it. A few minutes later, she cried herself to sleep while thinking about Bryan.Hours later, Ta
He made her stand on her feet properly and took his hands away from her waist. "I won't ask if you're okay cause you definitely don't look okay.""She's mine, so back off." The man who had earlier tried to hurt Taylor grunted loudly."You shouldn't try to play dirty with a lady. It doesn't make you less of a pervert so I don't think she said anything wrong."Taylor gasped aloud. Her saviour did really have a lot of nerves and it made her so scared for him. He could get hurt with the way he was running his mouth. She tried giving him a signal to stop by pulling his clothes slightly, but he pretended like he didn't understand.He held her hand, and pulled her behind him. The quickest way Taylor thought of sorting this out was settling the man with a load of money so he could let them both go and damn she was definitely done with clubs."Are you crazy? You're gonna get yourself killed." Taylor whispered.The crazy man tried to throw a punch but her saviour dodged it and landed a blow on
Stella walked into the company and headed straight for the manager's office holding an envelope in her hands. She was fucking done with his nonsense and it was time to tell him who he was messing with since she was certain Bryan would be hers anytime soon.If she gets married to Bryan Anderson, then they would certainly come begging and crawling for her to accept them back.She wore long black pop socks, a pink tube, and a pink sweater that had feathers around it, and matching black heels. Bryan was only a few days away from getting what he wanted and becoming the next CEO, and she was also a few days away from tying the knots with him, at least so she thought.She touched the door knob, twisted it and when the door opened, the manager stood up on his feet when he saw her. "Miss Heart." He called with so much respect that it made her wonder if he had woken up at the wrong side of the bed today.She walked in. "Please sit." He said again politely and she was beginning to feel so insec
A Week Later:"Congratulations Mr Anderson, you're now the newest CEO in town."Bryan smiled and outstretched his hands for a handshake. Once the man walked away, the smile on his face faded completely as he recalled he had gotten this far without Taylor by his side She could have been the best person to support him right now."Hey, you alright? You should put on a smile." Stella said. She came towards him and held his hand. He didn't force a smile again."Excuse me." He said and walked away. Stella had to come with him because he needed to provide a support for the board and the only presence he could think of was Stella, but deep down, he wished it was Taylor standing right beside him.Bryan got to the podium and picked up the microphone. It was time for him to say his speech. He stared at everyone standing and staring back at him and before he began, he cleared his throat.A round of applause was heard next once he was done, and he stepped down. He had waited so long for this day
Taylor stared at the photo that had been sent to her earlier by an unknown person, and tears rolled down her eyes. Was it not enough that he had ruined her life and divorced her? Why all of these now, does he really enjoy her being in misery?She sniffled more tears rolling down. It didn't take long before she began feeling weird. It happened so suddenly making her rush up on her feet and running towards the bathroom.As soon as she got in, she found the toilet, opened it and squatted immediately. She has earlier felt the same and since it was happening again, she had every reason to be worried.Her mind drifted back to the photos so suddenly and she bit her lower lips hitting her chest hard. She hated him so much and for the very first time in her life, she began regretting falling in love with a man like Bryan.Talia was right, he was no human being at all. He was heartless. She sniffled and weakly rose up on her feet. She walked out of the bathroom and headed straight for the livin
