I was close to collapsing. I knew I would actually collapse if I had not held unto the vanity. He was standing there like he had no other care in the world and that he was sent to torment me. There was no disputing the fact that he hated me. Why he did it, I don't know, neither do I care. This should be vice versa. I should be the one dishing out the hatred in full force. But I don't care at all. He did not say anything after the statement he just uttered, so I steadied myself on the vanity and continued to stare at the mirror. Pulling out toilet paper from somewhere beside me, I cleaned my hands. As I did, what he said came to my mind then. Like I just processed what he just said. What did he mean by the fact that what right do I have to laugh? Do I not deserve that? I'm supposed to be at his mercy, even after he left me for another woman? I was about to reply to him when he cut into whatever I wanted to say. "I asked you a fucking question, Gwen. And if you'd remember well, I h
I walked back into the hall. More like stalked in. I was not sure of what was going on with me but I tried as much as I could to hold myself together. I don't want to call any unnecessary attention to myself. My head was buzzing. My heart was racing and I could feel it in my throat, almost literally, but that was not possible. I can't believe that I let this man get those reactions out of me. I should not have allowed him to steer up those emotions in me at all. The most annoying part of this whole thing was that I've tried in the past to have these emotions. Even if it were not to a quarter fraction of what I was feeling right now. Something that could make me move on from him and date other men. But it was like my heart had other plans that it was brewing. I had never felt like this for any other person, but him. He was the only one that made my heart beat so fast. The only one that pulled on the strings of my heart.Shit. I was spiraling. And there was nothing I could do about
I have never felt a burning desire to tear the head of a fellow man off like I did right now. Apart from Kaden when he was very annoying. But, the feeling to do that to him was always minimal. Not like this. Whoever the guy that was talking to Gwen right now is, he does not know what a hint is. I've stared at him dead in the eyes a few times and he has met my eyes. He had to be stupid enough to ignore me or was actually testing me. And the aftermath of testing my was not good, if he did not know that. I grounded my teeth together as I walked into the room that was meant to be the dining room. I would be lying to myself if I said that I was not secretly proud of her. She did good for herself, even though it was at the expense of us. The other time, I had to hold myself together not to do something that I'd later regret. And like she knew she would set me off, she called me Charlie. Again. At this point, I think that she was doing it intentionally. She was the only one that I allowe
I knew when he started looking at me. I cod feel his eyes on me, but I pretended to be so engrossed in whatever Damon was saying. He had been a sweet person all through the night. After we had finished eating we stood up to talk about different things. I made sure not to slip about myself to him. I just told him the obvious things that I could and I heard his own part of the story. He said he was part of a team that worked for another fashion company and that he was sent to represent them. I can't remember the name of the brand though, and that's my bad. After a few minutes, there was soft music playing in the background and he asked me if I wanted to dance. He did not even wait for my reply and slipped his hands into my waist and we started moving slowly to the music. Nothing serious. "I don't know how to dance." I started. "You don't have to know. All you have to do right now is to move your body with me. No stress." He said as sweetly as possible. I know, I know. That I shou
The days that followed flew by fast. The reality that Charles was back really had dawned on me after that night. My sleep life has been shit since then. I don't know what I'll do if I encounter him again. He had gone as far as calling me names then. He showed me how much he loathed me by saying those words to me. He seemed to be angry about something, but I don't know what it is. Did he even have any right to be? No. I was the one that was supposed to be angry. I was the one that was left high and dry after child birth. He left me for another woman. I don't know why he was curious about me since I was not about him. Whatever I did was not his business. That night I slept with tears running down my face. I could not believe the kind of person he had turned to. The monster he had in him called me that. Seeing that side of him made me scared as to what would happen if he knew about Charlie. He would not want to know that he was the one that left me. He would take her away from me wit
Today was another day I had to face him. I've been on a sudden edge since then. We had another meetinga about the dress that the models for their company would be wearing. I still don't understand why he is involved in something as trivial as this. This was something even a secretary can do. I know the contract will eventually pass through him for the signing, but he did not have to be fully involved in it. Now that he knew that I was the owner of the company, he'd do anything to frustrate me and stress the seven heavens out of me. I have designed the clothes that are needed for the event that will be done in their company.According to the concept, it was supposed to be something alongside a car launching. And different locations would be involved. So for both their male and female, I'll be making their clothes. "Ma'am, they are here already." Jeffery chipped from the door. "Yeah. Thanks." I said and stood up from the chair behind my desk and walked out of the door. Not before I
The aftermath of receiving a phone call from my mother was always detrimental. My mood was always shitty for the remainder of the whole day. She always has something to say that would piss me off. Things like referring to Ashely. Saying that she would never be happy with me if I did not marry her. Not like I care though. She could remain sad for all I cared about. I hated how much it annoyed me and stressed me about marriage. She had to understand that I was not interested anymore. In marriage. I did not want it. I've lost the drive I had for it for almost six years now. She always had made matters worse by saying that she knew why I did not want Ashely and that it was because of Gwen. Anytime she does that, it was like she was mocking me and I knew that she was doing it intentionally. She was the one that broke the news of what happened then to me. I still cannot figure out the reason why Gwen left me. That fact alone made me mad. I hate being clueless about something. I also hat
It's been a long time since I laughed this hard at the jokes that a man made. I found him really amusing. He was an easy going person that was sweet and very nice. I expected that it would be bad going out with a man after all these years but I guess it was not that bad. We were mostly talking about him and all other random stuff around. I was thankful that he did not ask me about anything related to myself. I didn't want to talk about the fact that I had a child or anything. "That day was the most terrible day of my life." He said and I smiled. "You can't say that. What if it was not her fault?" I teased and his eyes widened. "What?! She did it intentionally, Gwen. She really went out of her way to embarrass me in front of my friends. I don't know what I would have done then but they did not take whatever had happened to heart." "I guess that's what friends are for." I replied as I twirled the spaghetti on my fork and raised it to my mouth. The hairs on the back of my neck sudd
