Joan tried to resist the urge to pick up her phone as it kept buzzing and beeping.

Vera's glam team were busy with her make up and rearranging her dress.

Joan looked at her self in the mirror, sitting before the vanity.

She looked so beautiful, she indeed looked like a bride.

What should she do at such a moment?

Joan turned to look at her pretty dress on the mannequin.

She'll marry Noah in that dress.

“Ma'am, please stay still.” The makeup artist said to her as lipstick was applied to her lips followed by a brush of blush on her cheeks.

Joan tried to breathe. At that moment, it was very essential she reminds herself to breathe.

One decision, only one decision will change her life…their lives actually, forever.

Joan slowly turned pale. The seat she sat on become hot and pricky.

All the voices around her were distant and muffled. She has partially zoned out, trying to stay in her own reality.

“Put on more makeup.” She heard the orders from her mother. “She needs t

    🌹 44 🌹 Noah looked at Joan, with deep sadness and frustration. ‘Why isn't she waking up? Wake up Joan.’ It has been a month now since she went into coma after the surgery she didn't wake up from. Abel, who was sitting beside her watched him pace back and forth in the room. “Food is here guys.” Ajay walked in with a basket. “I do not have an appetite.” Abel turned to look at Joan instead, with his hands in hers. “You?” Ajay offered Noah but he shook his head. Everything he has done so far was because of Joan, just to have her once again in his life. He needed her and maybe she didn't realize this but he actually still do. He can't live without her because she'd successfully grown on him like his own skin. So how was he supposed to live without her? How was he supposed to pretend she wasn't there when she came back? How was he supposed to move on when he could still have her? So he did what he did. And he would've amended everything he destroyed until Vera gave him a reas

    🌹 43 🌹 “Fuck!” Ajay ran into the room when he noticed what went wrong. “How did this happen?” He quickly pressed the emergency button and soon after, a doctor and some nurses rushed in. Joan laid unconscious with the tears still fresh down her ears. Ajay sadly looked at her as he was ushered out of the room. “What is happening?” Abel soon arrived. “I don't know.” Ajay was panicking. “I came in and saw the heart monitor was unplugged and..and,,, and s-she was there..” “What did you mean you came in? I left you with her!!” Abel snapped. “I know! I needed to get something.” Ajay answered. “That's not a fucking excuse!” Abel shouted. “The fuck is wrong with you!? You should know better! You know we can't leave her side! And where the fuck is Noah!?” He looked around but Noah was already standing some feet behind them. “What happened?” His feet were rooted to the floor. “What the fuck happened?” He only took his eyes off her for few fucking minutes! They looked at each other.

    🌹 42 🌹 Noah looked at her once again and went back to pacing around the room. “You need to chill.” Ajay said to him. Abel and Ajay were sited opposite each other in the private hospital room. Noah ignored him and looked at her again. Abel looked everywhere but Ajay who was on the other side of the room opposite him. He tried all he could to stay away from Ajay. “Why isn't she waking up? It's been like what? Two days?” He clicked his tongue. “It's just been a day, Noah.” Abel answered. “This is even the least she'd been out. The max we stayed with her was three weeks. We stayed by her side for three fucking weeks until she woke up, so get used to this.” Ajay added. A nurse shortly walked in. “Mr. Grey? Come with me please.” Ajay and Abel looked at each other. Noah hesitated before walking out after the nurse. She took him to an office with two surgeons waiting for him. One seated behind the glass table and the second sat opposite him. “Ah, Mr. Grey.” The latter cal

    🌹 41 🌹 Vera's eyes quickly moved to Noah and she felt anger boil slowly inside of her. She didn't know what hurt her the most, Noah's unapologetic behavior even after been caught in bed with her sister, or Joan's sudden arrogance. Noah helped Joan to balance on her feet again. “I will never forgive the both of you.” Vera angrily said. “The only thing I regret is sleeping with your husband, I am sorry. I am here to apologize and explain that I didn't mean to hurt you like that.” Joan said. “But you did, Joan.” Vera painfully said. “You did from the moment you walked out of here and I was forced into a marriage I didn't want!” “A marriage you didn't want?” Joan scoffed. “That was an opportunity for you, Vera, we both know that. And you grabbed the opportunity with both hands.” Joan sighed and moved around a little. “You could have refused the marriage. You weren't forced into it, you were pressured into it. I know what I'm saying, you are just used to a luxurious life and you

    🌹 40 🌹 Vera stared at them for a longer time and none of them seem to flinch due to this revelation. It was almost as if they were waiting on each other to make the first move. Tears painfully sting her eyes. She knew this would happen, she just refused to believe it. Vera took a step back and Joan suddenly sat up in the bed with the sheets falling on her breasts. She took another step back with the shake of her head as the tears came rolling down. Vera finally turned to run away. Joan made to climb down the bed but Noah pulled her back. “Let her go.” He tightly hugged her. “She knows now, there's nothing you can do about it.” “I can explain myself!” She struggled with him but he refused to let her go. “Tell her what exactly? She doesn't need an explanation now, she has seen with her own eyes. She'll be hurt and nothing you tell her will make her believe otherwise.” He said. “So you want me to stay in bed with you while my sister is hurting out there?” Joan cried. “What

    🌹39 🌹 Vera reluctantly walked into the not too familiar building. Noah has a lot of establishments so she really can't get acquainted with them personally even if she wanted to. Her husband felt distant for a couple of days now. She hardly sees him at home and he works extra hours at the office. So when he isn't able to come home, he usually spend the night here at his suite which she has never been to. Her marriage to Noah wasn't the best but his behavior towards her of recent has put a huge space between them, making all her efforts go down the drain. Ever since Jo came back, Noah hasn't been stable. And she doesn't want to believe it was what she was already thinking. Noah will never do that to her. Even if he never said he loved her, she knows he does. He is just having a hard time accepting it and probably still confused because of the love he shared with Jo, so, her reappearance threw everything off balance. And she has been counting the days when Jo will go away an
