Bryan's POV.I hurriedly took the meal kit and dashed out of my lecture hall, but on my way out I bumped into someone.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to___” I was apologizing, but paused after seeing the person I bumped into face, it was my greatest nightmare bumping into her will only cause me stress.“I'm sorry Ivy,” I said, and turned to leave, but I halted my steps after hearing my name being called out, “Bryan,” Ivy called, and I turned around. “What is it?” I asked bluntly, and she was giving a sad look, which I did not care about, she can be pretentious at times.“Please, can we talk?” She asked pitifully, and I checked my wrist watch knowing I did not have time for her act, “say whatever you want to say now,” I said hurriedly.“Can we go somewhere else and talk?” she asked, and I checked the time. It was almost time for her lecture, so I had no time left .“Hmmmmmmmm…. Ivy, I really don't have time for this. What about later after the lecture? It can wait right?” I suggested.“No,

Giselle's POV.I left the lecture hall, and went back to my office with my lecturing materials. I sat in my chair and rested my head backwards. I thought of what to have for lunch, but I couldn't think of anything, and the lunchtime was wasted with having nothing to eat.I looked around my office, and remembered how Bryan scolded me because I starved myself, then I decided to find something to eat, but then I heard a knock on my door.“Come in,” I said, and a delivery man came in with a lunchbox.“What can I help you with?” I asked, looking confused.“I'm here to deliver this, ma'am, please sign here,” the delivery man said, and I signed the papers.“And can I know the source?” I asked.“I am not permitted to reveal such information ma'am,” he said, and left my office.I went to the food package, and checked the box, it was from the same , five star restaurant from the other day, and I checked the whole package, and I didn't find any card.I decided not to eat it at first, but I could

Giselle's POV.'You abandoned me' I remember the words of the stalker, and it made me confused, I never had a past lover, or anything with any man before.It was nice that Bryan got there on time, I would have been dead or something else would have happened, he was really supportive, his cologne made me feel comfortable and it was reassuring being in his embrace, it was like a man protecting his woman, I really wanted to be in his embrace.But I immediately cleared the thought, after remembering that I was married, but my husband was never around whenever I needed him the most, and not even when his mother threw abuses and insults at me, he would only watch me suffer from being belittled, and he didn't even care about my well-being.And only the thought of that made me feel like I married him, and he did not marry me, our marriage life was one-sided and I never felt his attention nor his love the way I wanted.‘What I felt, was it even love?’ I asked inwardly, I rested my head and tri

Giselle's POV.“What are you doing?” Donald asked, and I couldn't think straight all I could think of was to have s*x, I thought doing that will make me forget everything. Little did I know.I took off his shirt, and I tried taking off my clothes, but his hand stopped me, and I looked at him.“Stop,” he said, and I got confused, and scared at the same time. The feeling of rejection hurts, but between couples it hurts more.“Don't you want me,” I asked, and he inhaled some air, trying to focus.“Of course, I want you,” he said.“Then, why are you stopping me?” I asked, and he shook his head.“Giselle, I am tired, I've been working since morning, I need some rest,” he said, and I just felt like I was selfish and inconsiderate, I didn't even think of him.“I'm sorry,” I said, feeling embarrassed, and I turned around to leave, but he hugged me from behind.“Next time,” he said, and I just nodded.His hug was so emotionless, I didn't feel anything and I thought my past feeling was just app

Giselle's POV.After my cell phone got repaired , I was so happy, and relieved, and settled the bills, Bryan offered to pay, but I declined, he was just a student I didn't expect him to spend money without a tangible reason, and I couldn’t let him pay for such thing for me, because he was my student.“Thank you, Mr Lopez,” I said, and he nodded at me with a smile, “you are always welcome, ma'am,” he said. “What about we have some tea,” I said pointing at the coffee shop nearby, “it's a coffee shop,” he said, and I nodded at him.“I know, but we can get you something else when we get there,” I said with a smile.We both went to the coffee shop, and we sat at the table close to the window, the breeze was perfect.We didn't know how they run the coffee shop, so we sat and observed, but after some time, I wanted to go to the counter and order, but Bryan stopped me.“I will go,” he said.“No, it's my treat,” I said, and he sat down. “Should I get you cake?” I asked, and he shook his head.
