Faith's POV
It's been a full year since Atlas and Melissa have been in New York. In this full year I felt like as if Atlas was slowly distancing himself from me. Our texts, calls and skype calls were reducing day by day. At first I thought it was because he was busy but I'm sure he couldn't be that busy that he didn't even have 2 minutes to spare for me.
Me and Melissa would talk everyday but she also stopped talking to me. She did tell me her Aunty was going through a surgery so I didn't want to annoy her, but I missed them so much. I was here so far in London while them two were in the same City together. They would even spend time with each other and here I am dying without them two. Atlas has also been behaving strange with me. He talks to me as if he is bored or as if he tired of me. Has he found another girl?... did he ch-...no...I know he will never cheat on me. He promised me...he loves me and I trust him.
Whenever I would call him or text him, he would always say he is busy. He didn't even have time for me anymore and that thought mad me upset. "Hey baby sis, what's up" My older brother Noah said, sitting beside me playing on his phone. "Nothing....just bored" I sighed. "Did you talk with Atlas and Melissa" he said not taking his eyes from his phone. "No....apparently they are too busy to even make time for me" I said with a quiet tone. "Hey...don't get upset....we are here for you and plus they are your best friends...they will make time...cheer up sis" Noah nudged me causing me to chuckle. Neither my family or Atlas's family knew of our relationship. They just think we are really close friends, except Mrs Williams...she has been shipping me and Atlas since we were in our mother's stomach.
A year past...
"Atlas it's been 2 years. You have also stopped visiting me" I complained. "I'm busy Faith. I don't have time to chat with you" he said with a cold tone. I frowned. "Atlas what is wrong with you?...why are you acting like that?...have you found someone else huh?" I said in anger. "Shut Up Faith....stop acting like a controlling possessive girlfriend. I have a life here....I have a job unlike you who lives off your parents money. Now stop annoying me....I am busy" and with that he disconnected the call leaving me shocked. "Controlling possessive girlfriend?...seriously?" I scoffed. Tears swelled in my eyes at his words. What has happened to my Atlas?.

I was so happy today. Mr and Mrs Willaims called me today telling me that Atlas was coming back. It's been 3 years since we stopped talking but I still had hope he would come back for me. "Fai...he is here" Mrs Williams yelled from downstairs making me blush. In total it's been 5 years but 3 years since I haven't seen his face. My man sure has become famous. I'm so proud of him. He was finally the CEO of one of Mr Bailey's companies and he owned many other clubs, resraurants and other buildings. He was all over the papers and girls were going crazy afer him. I scoffed at that thought. Atlas belonged to me but was that the reason why he distanced himself from me as he was now a famous business man?...
I quickly ran down the stairs in excitement ready to meet the love of my life, the man who I have waited for all my life. He promised me he will come back for me, he told me to wait for him, which I did for 5 years and finally that day has arrived.
I nearly tripped over the stairs but I didn't care if I hurt myself, I was craving for one look of him, I was in desperation to see his face again after 5 long years.
With a wide smile I walked through the hall way and was ready to greet him but my smile died down at what I saw. I heard my heart shatter to pieces at what I heard next........How?, when?, why?....these questions raised in my mind.
"Congratulations on your wedding, son. You and Melissa look absolutely gorgeous together" Mrs Williams said looking at the couple with adorness and love. I leaned next to the wall, feeling weak with fresh tears falling down my red cheeks. 'Married?, he was married?'. I looked at him with immense pain and betrayal. Married?....but....he said.....
Suddenly his eyes locked with mine making my heart freeze. I saw a flash a pain in his eyes but he quickly hid it with a flash as he replaced it with coldness. He looked at me with a blank expression as if he didn't care, he didn't care about how I felt.
I waited for 5 long years for him. I remained faithful, loyal to be pure for him and here he comes home with a woman, not just any woman but my best friend by his side claiming to be married. I looked at my friend is disgust and betrayal. She looked at me and gave me an evil smirk.
'Why?'
"I'm really upset you didn't tell me. How could you get married without us knowing?. I thought you and Faith had something going on. You have seriously surprised us son" Mr Williams said with a frown. I stood at the back with tears pouring out of my red eyes. My eyes were locked on him and only him. 'Was my love a joke to him?, was my love a game to him?'
'Why would you do this to me Atlas? why?'
Atlas's POVI sat in my office with my son on my lap. He looked exactly like me but had her eyes. He was sobbing in my chest while I rocked back and forth trying to calm him down. "Shhh....it's okay baby. Mommy didn't mean to say that...she was just a bit tired and busy" I consoled him. He looked up at me with his big cute, teary eyes. "Mommy love me...no love me?" he asked innocently. I kissed his chubby cheek "Of course...Mommy and Daddy love you a lot Leo" I said with a smile. He smiled and clapped his hands. I chuckled and put him down for him to crawl around on the floor.I leaned back in my chair, remembering the scene that just happened a few minutes ago. I felt hurt seeing so much hatred in her eyes for me but I deserved it for everything I did to her. I broke all my promises with her while she stayed faithful...I didn't deserve her but I am selfish. I can't...I just can't live without her....that woman....my bada
Faith's POVI was feeling exhausted from work today. "Welcome home my sweetheart, dinner's on the table. Go and get changed and come downstairs" my mother said with her sweet voice. I gave her a kiss on her cheek and went upstairs to get changed. After getting changed I came back down and walked into the dining room. I froze at who I saw there. I gritted my teeth and glared at the figure who was sitting at the table. "Why are you standing there Fai...come on....let's have dinner" my mom said dragging me to the table. "What is he doing here?" I asked with a cold tone. Atlas looked at me with a hurtful look but continued to smile at me which I ignored."Don't be rude Faith...he is our guest...now come on let's eat" My dad said with a firm tone. I sat down but glar
3 years agoFaith's POVI barged into Melissa's room which she shifted in...in other words Atlas's room. I glared at her and grabbed her arm. "What the hell is this Mel?...." I hissed in anger. She yanked her arm out of my hold and glared at me. "Don't touch me Faith and about what is going on...I'll tell you" she spoke and moved closer to me. "I am now Atlas's wife meaning you are out of the picture" she said with an evil glint in her eyes. I was taken aback seeing this change in her. "Mel...Mel please tell me you are joking. I missed you both so much and here you both come back....married" I said with tears falling out of my eyes. "Tell me Mel...why?" I cried."I'll tell you why" A voice that I loved to hear said.
PresentFaith's POV"Ma'am, Mr Campbell is really interested in our new project and is planning on taking us on. Do you want me to book an appointment with him?" My PA asked while I signed some files. "Yeah and make sure it's after 2pm as I'm really busy before that" I said with a calm tone. "Sure Ma'am. Anything else you want me to do?" she asked softly. I closed my file and looked at her, "No....you can leave for the day...Thank you Lily" I said without any expression. She gave me a nod and left the room.I continued reading a few important files until I heard a knock on the door. "Come in" I raised my voice. I heard the d
Faith's POV3 years agoI sat in my locked room gazing at mine and Atlas's photos that hung onto the wall. "Fai....sweetheart...why is your door locked honey" my mom knocked on the door, speaking with a concerned voice. "Fai....honey are you okay?" she spoke again but I ignored her, hugging my legs as I stared at the images. "Fai....FAITH HONEY..." she raised her voice in worrisome and started to bang on the door. I slowly got up from my bed and unlocked the door, opening it for my mom who stared at me with concern. A sigh of relief left her lips as quickly hugged me. "You made me so worried honey...why was your door locked?" she asked now breaking the hug. I faked a cough and looked away "um...sorry mom...I probably did it without noticing...sorry to make you worried" I said quietly. She stood there in silence, studying my face. "Are you sure you are okay sweetheart?" she asked with her sweet vo
Unknown POVPresent"What is she doing right now?" I asked with a cold tone. "S-sir she is at w-work" one of my men says with a shaky voice. "and?" I asked for more details. "A-and s-sir she was c-crying" he stuttered causing me to clench my palms into fists. 'Who dared to make my princess cry?'."Reason?" I asked with rage. "A-actually Sir...her....her ex b-boyfriend was with her when....when she was crying" he stuttered again with fear. I leaned back as he gave me some photos. I clench my jaw and grit my teeth seeing that fucker wrapping his arms aroundmybaby girl. "Continue following her and make sure sh
Atlas's POVI sat in my room, drowned in my thoughts about my angel. After putting Leo to sleep, I finally got some time to myself. The dinner scene flashed in front of my mind making me clench my jaw in anger.'why couldn't she accept me?, why did she refuse to marry me?'. I know....I know what I did to her was wrong...it was a sin but I know she still loves me till this day....I can see it in her eyes even though she is amazing at hiding her expressions and feelings. I don't want to lose Faith to someone else. I don't know how I will live without her or even see her with someone who is not me....but didn't I do that to her?...didn't I marry Melissa and also move on?....I pulled my hair in frustration thinking about her. Gosh I'm such an asshole
3 years agoFaith couldn't stand Atlas with Melissa anymore. She thought she would die of an heart attack due to the continuous heart breaks she had suffered. She wanted to be selfish...she wanted Atlas back and for that she needed to win him...she needed to get his attention on her but seeing how much hatred he had for her and how he insulted her caused her to cancel her plans and try and move on from him which was really hard for her. The reason why it was so hard for her was because Atlas made it hard. If she wanted to date someone then Atlas would intervene acting like his old possessive self. Even though he was married he acted like Faith was his wife rather than Melissa which confused her. She hated how much control he had over her...how he would weaken her but she needed to stay strong. She felt hurt seeing him being so loving towards his wife but wouldn't allow herself to date or even go out with her male friends she made wh
