I stayed up late, my mind wandering on the text,I was definitely going to go see him.I wanted to know the reasons why he'd left, and also Why he'd stayed away from us, all those years.I'd received another text the moment that Julie left.A message from my father, urging me to come to California, and that he could further all expenses and that it was very urgent.I needed answers, and for that I was going to leave.The building was already almost completed, I could Leave anytime I wanted to.But first I needed time again with my wife, I wanted to hear her, maybe see her one more time before leaving.Finally accepting that it was over between us, that we were done for good, and that there was nothing left to look back to.I wondered what mom could think of this?She's always be anxious whenever we mentioned our Dad, to her he never existed, and she made sure both I and Julie knew that the only one that existed for both of us was her.I could not tell her about this, most importantly
I struggled with myself, I should not care, but deep down I didn't want him to go.I wanted to see him, even if we were no longer together.How could my heart take it if he left?Still I could not let him know it my true feelings, I knew he wanted me to stop him.To say something, he was waiting for a signal, a hope.If I dashed his hope, he could finally believe that we meant nothing to each other.He could be free to carry on his life, I would no longer be an obstruction on his path.Rev needed to be free, he needed to dream, and I felt it could not be achieved if I stayed."You should go, it would be for the best" I said, and his eyes clouded, my heart shattered too...What I wanted was for him to stay, if he left, how many years would he choose to stay away?.My heart would ache everything, I would miss him, yearn for him, but I cjosed to shut him off."You didn't ask why" his eyes narrowed."I don't need to know why, it's your choice, and it's for the best" I swallowed."I haven'
While on the plane, I could only think of Lyssa.I had not said goodbye.I didn't want to, seeing her again could break my last resolve.I would want to keep staying, even if it meant torture.I still could not get her off my head, not while the two couples on the other seat were so lovey dovey It reminded me of her, of what we used to be, of what we've becomed.I looked away from them, and closed my eyes.My mom didn't know of this trip, neither did julie.I didn't tell them in details, only that I was leaving time for a while.I had to meet him first, fuck.I had to know how he felt comfortable, leaving his family to perish.My thoughts did not linger much on his.The next minute, they were on Lyssa'sI was once again, reminiscing old memories."Are you angry? She asked peering at my face" No" I replied."Tell me what I did wrong""The guy who dropped you off" I said and she smiled "It was nothing, I missed the bus, and he wanted to help""Are you jealous?" No I'm not"" I shoul
REVThe elderly man with a huge smile standing in front of me, was the man I just texted.This man was my father, it was him, and I couldn't even doubt it.His face reminded me so much of Julie, I could even see part of me, this was exactly how my nose was curved, his full lips, he was definitely my father."Son, good to have you" his eyes danced all over me in delight."I know you have lots of questions, come with me first"I followed him, I indeed had lots of questions. The only way I could get answers was to do exactly as he said, and I did Just that.The mansion was huge and everything about it screamed of wealth, including the help's who were in neat uniforms.The cars, the men who followed him, and everything, including The high ceilings, adorned with intricate moldings and glittering chandeliers, seemed to stretch up to the sky. The walls, painted a soft, creamy white, were lined with floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed the warm sunlight to pour in.Everything was perfect.A
Lyssa.Rin walked in, a warm smile on her face."Could we go out? Like old times?" No" I replied, I definitely was not in the mood to do so." You know Rev's left? She asked"Yes" I replied"And see the way it's made you" she grinned."Did he tell you of his plans? She asked"Yes he did" "And I replied like it didn't matter, like I didn't care, when all I wanted was to stop him, to tell him not to leave, I only stood there saying nothing, saying words that made no sense to me, when I could scream of my love for him, of the things I could sacrifice just for my love for him.I swallowed the words."You didn't try stop him ? Rin asked." Why would I?"Stop acting like you don't care"Of course, she was right." Who knows? He might come back with someone new? I met Rin's eyes, and she laughed." Just saying" she teased, and I looked away.It was possible, that he'd forget me, I could not even imagine it.The thought of him with another woman."At least, everything is going smoothly, m
I arrived at the mansion in Los Angeles.Mr Montago had properties in like ten different countries.The mansion had everything, it didn't lack in terms of luxury.An elderly woman stayed in the mansion.She was instructed by my father to take up on my needs.I was stunned by the glamour of the rooms, the king sized bed, the designs, and everything.My first mansion could have more than this,"Is there anything you want? the chef interrupted my thoughts." No, I'm good"I repliedShe smiled." Call on me,when you need anything" she said and I nodded, knowing fully well that the only thing I needed at this point, was to work hard and achieve my goals.I've received details of the company, and I could meet them the next day.Any goal, any dream could be achievable,it just needed me to work hard, it needed my determination.And I could definitely give my all.In one of the rooms, I sat thinking of the best way to draft my presentation.What change did I want to impact, what could possibly
REVI Picked up the phone, it was juls."How are you doing? She asked" I'm good, how are you? How's mom?"We're fine, everything is great?" I hope you're still not hung about that woman?"Of course not" I replied, I was gradually moving on."Good, I saw her and Jedd at Lauren's event"Those words pricked me.So much for moving on, I still could not admit that I thought about her randomly, and it still hurts."Are you still there? Julie asked." Of course Juls "I replied." What did you say to her?I already knew she wasn't going to leave so quietly."I said what I had to" she said and I sighed."Don't tell me you still care about that woman"I rubbed my head."No"" Anyways I'll call you later, I've something to catch up on "After the call, all I could think of was Jedd and Lyssa, and it ruined my mood.I'd still not forgotten my plans for revenge, I could make them both pay.I concentrated on work, but I couldn't anymore, I sighed.It's been two months.Walking to the bar across th
"How could you? My hands trembled, my eyes burned, I felt the lump on my throat, as I swallowed.I held in the salty taste, maintaining my composure, when all I wanted to do right now, was break apart.Fuck, I love her, the thought alone was breaking me, it was killing me, I was going to go mad, Imagining a life without her was terrible.I felt like a drug addict, I could already feel the symptoms of staying away from the one person who meant everything to me " What do you mean? Tell me it's not true" I struggled with myself, not willing to accept the truth."There must be a way out" I continued"There's none" her face did not reveal any emotions." I'm sorry that it had to end this way, but I can't continue, not with you"Her words broke the last straw of whatever hope I was clinging unto." Fuck you Lyssa" "I'm really sorry, but you have to let me go" her eyes were dark."I want to be with Jedd"I clenched my fist, my body vibrating and heating up.I was mad at myself, mad at the

I closed the windows, blocking away those memories.How long Could I bear this torture?This was how it felt when you could not be close to someone you love.We were so close, yet so faraway.I've convinced myself repeatedly, that this was the right decision.I could live with Rev's hate, I could live with the torment, but I could not live without him.And so whatever it took, I was willing to pay that price.Even if I wasn't part of his future happiness, I could be happy that I was part of what made it possible.REV.The windows closed, and I breathed in.Images of her beautiful face still in my head.The building construction was moving on fast, and in three weeks time, the house would be ready.And I could be out of here, but I could not approach her till the last day I could spend hereI could look for her, and pour out my feelings, regardless of if Jedd was there or not.She was my wife, and I still yearned for her no matter the pains, she has put me through.I Still believe that
I took the package, waiting to present it to her. I didn't know how she'd react.It was lovely, and I liked it the moment I saw it.She was outside at the moment with Essy, I'll wait till she comes back in.I wasn't sure if one thing tho, if she'd accept.I waited as she walked back in.She was really really pretty, right from the first moment I saw her.I connected with her more than other ladies I've met.Even Essy connected with her, she was not often happy with other ladies, I introduced to her.When I saw her so at ease with Lyssa, I knew she had to be the one.Knowing she was married, I knew it couldn't work.But it did cos of the contract.And I could forever be indebted to her."Jedd you're still here, you should be...""At work, I know, here, I got this for you"I presented her the package, I watched as her eyes shone with different emotions.I couldn't quite read her eyes, as she covered up her emotions with a smileShe took the package, she brought out the dress.The flowe
