Chapter 16 - I don't care what I lose
"Tom, can I speak to you alone please...." I asked looking him in the eye.
"No, Maya, I want everyone here to be a witness to what we have to say to each other. If you love me, I want to know how deep it is. Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?" He asked with a pleading stare.
I looked at Tracy speechlessly begging her with my eyes to say something but for the first time, I was left to my fate. She had warned me earlier right? But I never took her warning serious. Right then, Mark came back. His eyes were covered with so much pain and anger.
"Please Maya, I have loved you from the very moment I set eyes on you. Since that day, you have taken over my mind completely. I am always at peace whenever you are around me. Please I want to live with this peace forever. Please grant me this wish," he kept pleading.
"I don't know what to say Tom, I don't think I am ready yet.." was all I could say.
But the look in his ey

Despised at First Sight Chapter 17 - That Indescribable Look
Tom's POV Eventhough I had prepared my mind for possible rejection, I never thought it will hurt this much. I felt like ten daggers piecing through my heart at the same time. I knew it wasn't the right time to propose but I realized Mark was secretly in love with her and knowing he never loved Tilda, he will easily dump her for Maya. I confirmed my suspicion when he went to her office alone. I knew that he went there to ask her out after the party because I heard him talking on the phone and making some arrangements. Knowing that Tilda wasn't around, the only person he was making that arrangement for was Maya. I thought of taking advantage of her innocence and shyness before the crowd to accept me so that we spend time knowing more about each other before we finally settle down but No. She rejected my proposal in front of all those people. Why Maya, why can't you love me for once. Why can't I be happy again? When I left the party, I was about going to the pub to drink my heart out b
Despised at First Sight Chapter 18 - Confession
Mark's POV There was no point hiding the truth from them. Tom is my best friend and Tracy was her bestfriend so I don't think we could hide it any longer. Maya's expression showed how embarrassed she was. It's no fault of hers. I can't keep my hands and eyes of her. I wanted us to keep this a secret and I was still the one to blow it all. She had wiggled out of my arms in embarrassment but I pulled her closer again and with my right arm around her waist, we both faced Tom and Tracy. "I am sorry you guys had to find out this way. I mean, we should have told you being bestfriends but I just wanted to trash out things with Tilda before I make our relationship public." "So you two are dating?" Tracy asked but more of a statement to herself. "Yes," I said boldly, looking at Maya who was looking down shyly. "Well, am not surprised," Tom paused. "Congratulations to both of you." he announced surprisingly. "Thank you," Maya respond
Despised at First Sight Chapter 19 _ I will keep my Love.
During the ride home, my mind was filled with so many thoughts. I can't believe everything is happening this fast. I never imagined getting married anytime soon. I know people date for years or months before the proposal and then engagement before wedding. But Mark was just something else. He wants us to start planning our wedding tommorrow. Sure I am excited. I want everything to be perfect. I will be all his, in spirit, soul and body. What a lucky girl I am. I felt like Cinderella going to the ball after meeting her fairy god mother. This seems to be a dream. But I could not seem to take my mind off Tilda. How will she take this news? I know they don't love each other but since both of them agreed with both families support, it will be terrible to call off the engagement. This is such an uncomfortable situation and I felt sad thinking about it. Mark's POV Seeing Maya drives me crazy. It makes my blood boil like a v
Despised at First Sight Chapter 20 - Stay away
Maya's POV I knew that this was going to happen, but I was still hurt. Mark's father conducted my interview and eventhough he seemed naughty in the beginning, he turned nice when he admitted what he was asking me to do was a test. He seemed so different when we reached his mansion. He turned into a complete beast. I couldn't believe he slapped Mark in front of me. My poor heart ached for him so much. He was going through all this because of me and I felt so sad. He didn't seem like the kind of person who will talk back to his Dad but he did that because of me. I felt like a bad influence on him all of a sudden. I wanted to tell him to go back to Tilda but my poor heart could not let him go. I couldn't stand losing him. It was as if he was carrying my heart with with. I let out all my tears as I burried my head in his chest. Why does life have to be so cruel? Mark has fought so much for me. In the beginning, he despised me just to hide what he felt. He tried his best to get over his f
Despised at First Sight Chapter 21 - Where is Maya
Even though Tom said he was going to pick us, I was secretly hoping Mark will come as he had promised. I longed for his calls, and kept checking my phone literally every minute for even a text message but to no avail. I thought to myself what I did to deserve this treatment from him. Didn't he promise to come take me to the party? My mind was filled with all the negatives but I still tried to stay calm. "You look stunning Maya, all eyes are going to be on you again," Tracy teased, pulling me from my thoughts. "But you look sad," she continued. Hey, we are going for a party and not a funeral remember? What's with this sad face?" You know what, I know that Mark will come over. I think he is planning a surprise for you," She said pouting, when she noticed I wasn't talking. "I hope so, Tracy. I really do. I just have..." I paused and she run off instantly. "I will get it," Tracy yelled as she headed for the door. "I didn't even hear the knock. God, I thin
Despised at First Sight Chapter 22 - So I prayed
Tracy's POV I could not understand what was going on. The thought of it made made me angry. Maybe my ears went dumb all of a sudden. I can't believe that Mark actually did this to Maya. What explanation could he give for this announcement? No wonder he kept avoiding all her calls and text messages. Or could he have given in to the threats? Even if someone was threatening them, the two of them should have come to a reasonable compromise. The more I thought of it, the more painful were the aches in my head. Maya, I remembered as if I was woken from a nightmare. I left her with Jude but I don't think that even he could comfort her and just as I thought, he didn't even realize she had left his side. My instincts told me that she needed me. I was so puzzled at the thought of where she might be at the moment. Tom had already called the police and a secret agency. I searched, the washrooms and balconies which were the places any woman would go to cry her heart
Despised at First Sight Chapter 23 - It's the least I can do
Maya was sleeping peacefully when we got to the VIP ward. She was no longer stiff or cold. Even in her sleep, she looked so beautiful, even though her skin was still pale. She had on an oxygen mask and the beeping sound from the monitor was encouraging. The nurse came to change her IV. The one they had on her was almost empty when we got here. It's unfortunate I couldn't see her deep blue eyes which always made her look like an angel. But the doctor said she might wake up any moment from now so even though I wanted so much to change into something more comfortable, I decided to stay till she woke up. Even Jude and Tom were still here. None of us had eaten or drank anything since we got here. We were anxiously waiting for her to regain conciousness. The doctor finally told us to wait at the waiting area but when I turned around, I felt a movement on my hand. My heart was warmed to a weak smiling Maya. She couldn't keep her eyes steady but she wanted to tell me somethi
Despised at First Sight Chapter 24 - My Greatest Fear
Maya's POV I was trying to imagine how Tom dealt with Mark and I didn't know if I should be happy or sad. I didn't remember most of what happened last night when I woke up this morning. I remembered the announcement and Mark proposing to Tilda. Heck. I went to the garden and then, I woke up in the hospital. It would have been better if he had killed me. The first man I ever loved was also the one to tear my heart in pieces. The pain was just unbearable. Tracy told me to pray but I stopped believing in prayer because I felt my prayers were never answered. Anytime I prayed for something, I got the exact opposite. For instance the time that my mother was being driven to the hospital, I prayed that God will bring her back safe with my baby brother or sister but they never returned. Same as the time my dad died. So you see, it's just been like that. But since I didn't have any other option, I decided to give it another try. It would be better than nothing. I could
