Desmond's POV:I was at work when I received a call that Vera was in the hospital. She was hit by a truck and was taken to the hospital.They told me she was in critical condition and I needed to come back to the hospital quickly.I rushed out of the company building, got into my car and drove off to the address of the hospital.She should be at home ,because I know very well that I didn't give her any money to go anywhere, she must have gone to see her parents.Gosh!Is she even supposed to be driving by now?I got to the hospital and was told where she was, the doctor didn't look happy he said he was sorry and that I should go and talk for the last thing, there was nothing he could do, he told me the impact of the car was too strong and they tried their best and now left for her is to survive.From the way the Doctor was talking, he was telling me it was best that I have a last talk with her.What is going on?Vera was just so lively recentlyHow can she be in this state?I called h
ONE YEAR LATER Lucy's POV: We waited for a year before we could proceed with our relationship. The kids were so happy when we said we were now together. Even though I know Desmond feels upset by how things ended with Vera, he can't bring her back so we could only just move on. Andrew, who was responsible for her death, is already paying for his crimes behind bars, but I think Desmond was upset that this ended this way. I know he wanted a good relationship with Vera even after their divorce ,but she didn't want to make it happen. Desmond was really nice ,he told me he wants us to take it slow. I wonder if he partly blamed himself for the death of Vera, or if you blame me for it, because it was Andrew, my ex boyfriend, that killed her. I was scared of asking him ,because I think the answer he will give me would upset me more. No matter how much you put the past behind us ,we know very well it will be a part of our life now , since they are also our kids' parents. "What are you
I was humming to the music that was playing on my phone as I was preparing a list of things I needed to get from the grocery store.I opened the fridge and looked through the items in it, then I heard my phone ringing and I turned to the kitchen counter.I took the phone and smiled when I saw the caller as I answered the call."Tory good afternoon, how are you?" I asked and she told me she was fine.Tory was acting strange and told me she needed to speak to me but not on the phone,she wanted to meet up with me.Even though I told her she could just tell me over the phone she insisted we meet up at some restaurant.I saw nothing wrong with deciding to go since I wanted to go out for groceries.I took my car keys and left for the destination. She told me she wanted us to meet.Tory was always with Andrew not leaving his side for once even before he became my boyfriend.She is a childhood friend of his and one of his business partners, so I knew whatever she wanted to say must be somethi
When I got back to my senses I drove back home.Andrew wasn't home when I returned and I was restless. Even in my restlessness I cooked his favorite meal. Silly of me,my boyfriend might have cheated on me and I still had the energy to cook.Andrew never liked maids so none was hired in his house and I did all the work in the house.I didn't mind because I had nothing else to do,I was just his live-in girlfriend after all.I waited for Andrew to come home and welcomed him with a loving smile ignoring all that had happened earlier today because I didn't want to cause an argument and make him leave. When I wanted to take his briefcase from him he stopped me but my smile never wavered."Welcome home I made dinner." I told him as he proceeded to go up the stairs to our room not sparing a glance at me."Should I bring it upstairs?" I asked and got no reply so I followed him closely behind.He dropped his briefcase on the table when we got into the room and proceeded to uncuff his cufflink
FIVE YEARS LATERLucy's pov;I was wiping the tables in the cafe ,when I saw a man wearing a suit walk in and I smiled.I just suddenly remember how Daniel, my son , is so fixated on men in suits,not suits but a tux ,I think he likes the bow tie in particular.It makes me smile when he says he wants to wear a tuxedo but it also makes my heart ache that I can't buy him a tuxedo just yet.I am saving up to buy him one on his next birthday but I don't know if he would still love to wear a tuxedo by then because kids change their mind on things so easily.One minute he is fighting to get it with all his strength, but the next minute he just tosses it away to the side as if it meant nothing."Good morning sir, please sit ,what can I get you?" I asked the man who smiled and sat."The usual." He said and I went to prepare his coffee.I work a lot of part time jobs because it is flexible and I can control how long I want to work to an extent,the only thing that matters is I have time to go an
Lucy's POVOne look at Jason made me think.Oh shit! there was no way I was going to get this job.Jason is one of my ex-boyfriend Andrew's friends. When I was dating Andrew, Jason would flirt with me constantly and I once slapped him for groping me because I found that disrespectful when I was dating his friend and when I told Andrew about it , Andrew, my ex boyfriend, brushed off what I said.Thinking about it now there were signs that Andrew never really cared about me but I ignored it. I think he was just trying to use me to get over Tory his ex girlfriend or get her jealous to come back to him but either way I guess it worked they must be happy together because I haven't heard from him since,it won't matter if he tried to get in touch with me because I changed my phone number."Miss Lucy." Another interviewer called and I snapped out of my thoughts and recomposed myself and avoided eye contact with Jason.It has been years I don't think Jason would remember me that well.I deci
Lucy's POV;I gritted my teeth as I angrily glared at Jason who seemed to have no shame and just spilled nonsense from his mouth. To think that Jason wants to stoop as low as insulting me in front of Mr. Desmond was just unbelievable.Because of what Jason just said, I dared not make eye contact with Desmond, what must he think of me?Jason walked towards us, while glaring daggers at me as I heard murmurs from people around us, Jason came to a stop in front of me, his masculine figure towering over me.Was he trying to scare me by giving me a death glare or intimidate me with his body build because he was a man?I stood my ground staring eye to eye with him."Shouldn't you be leaving already Lucy?" Jason asked, seeing that he hadn't succeeded in intimidating me and I scoffed."You know you are just plain stupid, just because I rejected your advances you dare insult me, you are a shameless man for even daring to hit on your friend's girlfriend!" I yelled at him and I saw his eyes wide
Lucy's pov:Bella's face suddenly turned sour."Oh my goodness ,what have I done?" She asked with a pout."I am so sorry Lucy I don't know it was him that was looking for a secretary, my friend just told me about a job opening and I was happy because I just wanted to find a better job for you ,I am so sorry I didn't do proper research." Bella apologized in a low voice as her shoulders were dropped in defeat.I don't even know why she was apologizing when she did nothing wrong, I know she just wants the best for me and I was glad to have a friend like her that just looks out for me."You don't need to apologize, Bella . I know you just had good things in mind for me when you told me about the job opening." I reassured her I wasn't angry at her in any way.Andrew,my ex boyfriend was still a sour subject for me even till now.I don't know when I will truly forget him , because seeing my son Daniel each day remind me that his Father is not with us because he abandoned us to be with anothe
