Mike Pov...We sent Cassandra and Lawrence to the airport after a week of their vacation. We forgot the load of work we had everyday to make their vacation worth it besides it happens once in a while unlike before. Our reunion was memorable and fun, which we almost miss it being slaves of the past! "Thank you! Seeing you again and doing what we usually do enlightened me. See you at my wedding and I don't take for no answers." Fabian enunciated."We will Fabian. We want to see this favorable and beautiful union you finally had. We don't want to miss anything buddy." Lawrence replied with a smirk on his face. We were once like this, we love gatherings, traveling, and organizing foundations but halted because of Monica. "And she's more perfect than Monica. Where did you find her? Maybe there's a man like hers. I needed one!" Cassandra added showing envy in her eyes. Fabian smiled, "Let's reserve that for our next meeting. I'll tell you every detail.

Izzy Pov...Now that I am sure of myself I couldn't contain the happiness dancing with it while taking a shower. The gentle touch of the cold water onto my skin becomes a strumming of a guitar playing a beautiful rhythm. What a beautiful day! I mumbled splashing water on my face. See you in a bit my love!The excitement to see Fabian was palpable proven by all the gifts I bought for him and his favorite food. This is what they called love, it was peaceful and exciting. With a sweet smile, I walked towards his office delighted only to be surprised. I didn't expect to see somebody in his office this early in the morning.I know listening to someone's conversation is rude but my curiosity piqued me. I wanted to know who is she and what are they talking about so seriously that they didn't notice my arrival. I regretted listening, curiosity sometimes can kill. I shouldn't heard those things. I'm well aware of arranged marriages or business proposal marriage but my heart shatters hearing th
Fabian Pov...While I was settling problems with Denise unaware that my beloved woman was outside enough to hear something she shouldn't. For the years I've been with her I know her very well despite being hurt before she still has a beautiful heart. That's one thing that aroused me to love her more than what I've promised and I am ready for it—delving into real fantasy with her. I waited for her but she didn't come which is odd since she always calls and never misses the office unless she is abroad. Suddenly a creeps of worry gushes me unable to work properly. I called her but her phone was unattended."Babe, where are you?" I cried and worried when I got a call from the hospital where my grandfather was confined for a long time. I grab my phone and keys running out. "Fabian, where are you going?" Mark asked as he entered my office and saw me rushing out."The hospital called." I replied running out. He chased me as he knew I couldn't drive properly when I was worried and agitated
Izzy Pov...I was torn between my feelings toward him and the truth that will definitely tear us apart. I'm not a baby when it comes to an arranged marriage of the family. Before I fell in love with Jonathan he was my arranged fiance. It was a blessing that I love him and the same as his.I've been away for three days to keep myself calm and ready to face Fabian. I sighed deeply as I entered the building holding a bouquet of flowers and his favorite dessert. I smelled the flowers before walking towards his office when a woman stood in front of me."Hi!" She greeted sweetly and gracefully. Her posture was impeccable and fascinating. She has everything a man wants. "Hi!" I responded. "Those flowers were beautiful." She complimented. I almost frown confused with her. What have the flowers relation to her interruption?"Yeah!" I replied looking at her with a questioning look. Suddenly her perfect demeanor changed into intimidating."I'm sorry to interrupt you but can I have a few moment
Mark Pov...Mom was already discharged from the hospital and back to her work, and so did I.Izzy decided to invite her friend to come here to the office, so I ordered food to feast. This will be our normal norm now. They fill the void missing our friends. I watched them interact like a child, which is new to me. I'm used to her sweet and composed demeanor but this playful side of hers is different but not annoying."Fabian, take care of my friend as she is one of the most important people in my life." Aloha pointed at him."Definitely Aloha, I will even if you will not tell me!" Fabian replied accepting her challenge."If she cries I will kill you! What her family and Jonathan did is already enough." She added as if something was bothering her."I know Aloha and thank you for reminding me." Fabian showed her he would never hurt her like what they did. Izzy deserves the world and the best for her and I will give that to her but who knows something will happen to crush her heart again.
