Days passed and on Saturday, Victoria forcefully dragged me with her to the bar to catch up and I couldn’t tell her that I didn’t want to catch up. I cut contacts for betterment. I didn’t want to recall the past or anything. Being here was making me uncomfortable. I felt like a third wheel. Vincent and Victoria were sitting together, his hand was on her shoulder but since he sat in front of me, his malicious gaze was upon me. ‘Is that how much you hate me now? I think entering your life was a mistake after all. Is all this truly satisfying you, Vincent?-’ My thoughts were interrupted when Victoria called, snapping her fingers. “Elise? What happened? Where are you lost?” Blinking, I looked back up at him, shaking my head in denial. “Nothing.” Mumbling, I took a sip of my drink. Biting the inside of my cheek to contain my feelings. “Seriously, you have changed so much in these years.” She laughed a little, not believing it was me. “Time changes everyone.” I sighed, leaning ag

"Hey, Elise? How are things going? Is everything alright?" I received a call from Linda during Lunchtime. She frequently called me to know if everything was alright or not. She was among those few people who knew what happened. She knew, we all worked together after all. "Yes. Everything is alright. How are you, Linda?” I smiled, reassuring her. I didn’t want her to be vexed about me. "I am doing alright at the moment. Can't wait for the baby to come. Um… Is Boss treating you right? After what happened…" She asked worriedly. "Yeah. Don't worry about it. He was in my Mother’s debt after all. He couldn’t leave her in pain." I tried to tell her sweetly so she won’t take stress. "I see. Glad to hear it. Even if he does anything, just bear with it. It's just a matter of a few months then I will be back." She encouraged me to go on. Honestly, I don’t have another option. "I see. Anyways, I am working right now. Why don’t we catch up later?" I suggest happily. It would also ref

VINCENT ~ With your memories, I spend my nights ~ During Lunchtime, I noticed Annalise staring at me which made my heart raced, rendering me unable to talk to Jacey properly. Her eyes were inebriating me, I wanted to yell at her to stop it. I couldn’t look back into her eyes so I pretended I didn’t notice her. ‘Stop it, Don’t look at me.’ I was praying someone would come and break her gaze and thankfully Edmond came. I thought it would ease my cognition but it worsened when Annalise laughed with it and my jaw clenched, I couldn’t bear to stand there anymore. Furiously, I went to her cabin, waiting for her to return. I am glad her cabin was on the executive floor, away from others so they won’t pry. When she came, I turned to her, snickering, “Talking too happily, aren’t we?” “Sir?” Confused, she tilted her head but I was well past her facade. We both knew why this smirk was lingering on my face, hiding my scowl. “What were you guys talking about?” asking, I rested my hand

ANNALISE.I never want this to happen, I swear I never intend to reach this point. I thought my betrayal would pass like a phase but I became his perennial sting.What have I done?“I am sorry. Please forgive me. Please…” I continued to beg, hoping not to forgive but at least I could lessen his resentment and give him a new path in life.Staying where we lived would only hurt him. “Don’t cry, Annnalise. I… don’t have words for your consolation.” He whispered gently in my ears. Sobbing in his arms, I felt an unstoppable equanimity when he embraced me back, at his warmth. His arms were unfathomable.They blinded me to carve me, I wanted him to hold me like that. It was illicit but it felt heavenly. “I-” I opened my mouth to speak something but the worst case scenario became reality.What I prayed to never occur, happened at the most unwanted moment. I was in his arms and Victoria called us hesitantly.“Vincent?” Gasping, we both pulled away, my body froze with tears staying on my

VINCENT. A few days passed and it was the day of Auntie’s operation. And, even if I had taken an immoral step by using her condition to trap Annalise with me, my care for her is still the same. I prayed for her wellbeing, for her health badly. She showed me the love of a Mother, she showed me the affection of bonds, I am in her debt forever. I rushed to see her right after work and greeted the unwanted sight. "Sorry, I am late, I got stuck in traffic-" Stopping mid-sentence, I looked up and saw Edmond with Annalise. He was staying with her for consolation. He stood at the place which belonged to me and it envied me. "Ah, Vincent. You are finally here." Mr White called, at least he was reassured to see me. Lowering my gaze, I didn’t exchange further words and sat down. "Is Auntie in operation theater?" I asked hesitantly, back straightened followed by a stoic expression. "Yes. Let's pray it goes well." Mr White hummed, praying continuously for Auntie with tears in his e

After some painful moments, I took a moment of silence. I didn’t want to stay where they were but I had no choice. Looking at Annalise and Edmond from time to time intensely. Hoping Annalise would notice my gaze and refrain from his closeness. ‘Who are you to me that I feel possessive over you? Who are you to me!?’ Narrowing my eyes, a strange grief flickered in my eyes. Listen to my silence, hear what I cannot speak. ‘Why do I feel this way for a cheater? Why do I crave the attention of such a low person?’ But, lost in worry, she didn’t care about anything else until the doctor came and informed us that the surgery went successful. “Oh, thank God!” We all exclaimed in delight at the same time. “I am so happy.” Beaming, Annalise grinned with tears of felicity pricking her eyes. Upon hearing it, Annalise ended up crying from happiness and involuntarily, she hugged Edmond. Exhilaration took its effect only, she wouldn’t hug him like that or else, right? "Don't cry. She is fine

I couldn’t believe today marks three months since Annalise re-entered my life. It would be a matter of time before her time here would end and Linda would come back.Soon she will leave and then what? What will I do then? Is that enough for me? Let’s see…Discarding all those thoughts, I had one main affliction, pricking my mind constantly until I could no longer ignore it. To reduce the strain overcoming my thoughts, I went to see the person who originally induced this thought.“Edmond, Listen.” Calling Edmond, I walked to him. “Yes, Sir?” Staring in front of him dominantly, I asked composedly to ensure it won’t sound eerie, “Did… Annalise call you? Back at her Mother’s operation?”“Yes. She asked me to be there for her. Why are you asking?” Nodding slowly, he narrowed his eyes in bewilderment.His expression showed there was no use to twist words, I couldn’t conceal them behind useless excuses so I spoke up openly.Taking a step closer, I ordered assertively, “I don’t want you
Billionaire And His Assistant: Vincent's Hatred 50- Prayer
On our way back, my hands were behind my back, trying not to espy her graceful aura but I couldn’t stop myself either. The way she lowered her gaze, took a bite. Licked her lips from nervousness. She knew I was looking at her. ‘Why do I still find her beautiful?’ “You look horrible, you know.” I said this for my own satisfaction. ‘Why are you so compelling?’ “Hmm, I think that too. I have stopped grooming myself.” She nodded, not arguing about it. “Is that why you are looking at me constantly?” She asked, tugging her hair behind her ears, she believed in my words. “Do I look bad?” She asked again, glancing at me in nervousness. “You do.” No, you don’t. “I see…” Humming, we both began to walk again, not talking further. "Why did you warn Edmond to stay away from me?” After a moment of silence, Annalise finally spoke up. I knew she would ask this. I didn’t want her to but she did and answering it was a complex situation. It was unintentional yet unstoppable. “Was his
