TOM'S POVI could not believe my ears right now and seeing how broken he was at the moment, I knew he would need to get himself in order. I patted him as I spoke to him in a whisper."Your men are here. Isn't it a mafia's thing not to cry?" I whispered.That seemed to bring him back to reality as he suddenly looked at me straight in the eyes. I could tell he was amply broken right now but he straightened up and cleaned his eyes quickly. I could not believe that I had just seen the almighty Emilio DeGeneres shed tears before me."You wanted to know." He said to me,"And now you must tell me everything." I said to him,He looked at me for a while like he did not know me and then turned away and started walking away from me."Not saying none ya." He said quickly.I smiled. 'None ya' was a phrase he used to use back then as I rushed and caught him by the arm. He tried to shake me off and I held on to him because no matter what, I could not let him return to that dark abyss."In case you f
MARIAH'S POV It had been a while since I took off in that train. The cab driver that had driven me had asked me if I really wanted to leave and I insisted. He decided to aid me and I went in straight and bought a ticket. I had just picked a random line and when I returned to the seat and took a look at the ticket which I had just bought, it was headed for Pennsylvania. Well, since fate wanted me to go that way, who was I to say no. It took a day and half for us to arrive as we would occasionally stop by the other stations. I was already beginning to feel a little impatient and cramped up but I promised myself that I was going to survive regardless of anything. Eventually, we arrived in Pennsylvania. It took me two days to get a place I could afford. I had to sleep outside in the cold during the night with the lots of homeless persons out there. They had been quite fair to me and I did my best around them. Eventually, on the second day of my stay, I would say it was a miracle of the so
HAILEY'S POVMy mistake was choking me. Emilio had said that he wanted me to have the best and I had just realized that he was right about the man he had met in my room. He was insignificant and up to no good and it took the words from Emilio to know that. But I had come to realize that all along, I had the best person with me and it was Emilio himself.Emilio was still not taking my calls since that day and neither was he responding to my messages. Seriously, what was it with this man and toying with my emotions?Fine. I agree that I had requested that we break off our contract but then perhaps I had overreacted. Perhaps even, I had not given a serious thought regarding the kind of man I wanted.Weighing the entire thing, I realized that I was actually in love with Emilio. It took the contract for my email to help me decide but now, he was clearly avoiding me. I had always known Emilio to be a man of his words and the fact that he had made it explicitly clear that he was going to cal
EMILIO'S POVI sat down at the back of the car as I pondered over what Tom had said. All the while, my phone kept ringing from all the disturbances of Hailey. What in the name of the heavens was her problem.She had asked for her freedom and I did give it to her freely and without questioning the contract. I took out my phone as I blocked her for good. I could not understand what the matter was and just then, my phone started ringing. It was one of the bodyguards at the hospital and I took the call."What is it?" I demanded angrily."He's regained consciousness, sir. I'm about to send it to the doctor." He said to me,"I'm on my way." I said with the darkness I was used to manifesting itself again in me." Take the turn and head for the hospital.""Yes, sir." The driver responded."Quickly." I called out to me as my mind had begun wandering.If Dominic had regained consciousness, does this mean that I was in trouble? I quickly called up my man again and demanded that no matter the pres
DOMINIC'S POVAmnesia? You would think so, because everyone thinks about the accident and perhaps how I must have bumped my head that would certainly cause my supposed memory loss.I had you all fooled and I really would have a rethink of career after all of this. Perhaps even, I might get plastic surgery to change my identity and go into acting which is beginning to look like my true calling. Who knows. I might be nominated for the Oscars next season.I had opened my eyes after spending a lot of time in the vain darkness and void where I could not make things out. It was the sound of beeping of the monitors that got me and I slowly opened my eyes only to realize that I was at the hospital. I could also hear that steady sound of the drip attached to my hand and then more beeping. I thought perhaps, the doctors had me under protection and then started groaning in pain. I realized that I was in bandages as well and when I made those groaning sounds, my voice sounded unused and foreign.
SAMANTHA'S POV"Everything okay with you?" His voice suddenly came up and I was actually really startled as I turned to him with a fake smile on my face.Seeing Joey here was becoming almost like seeing my worst decision walking before me. I pushed up a fake smile but within me, I knew I was actually worried."Sure. Everything okay? You got called." I said to him,"Yes. We just finished setting up our stuff for work. Man, you have a lot of restructuring work to do." He said to me,"I hadn't realized that when I was handling it myself though." I said to him,He laughed."Samantha, always handling things herself. How's that going for you?" He asked me.Within my heart of hearts, I interpreted the message to seem like he was referring to my life and my marriage. I wanted to break down seriously before him and at least get a little bit of comfort from him. I wanted him to reassure me that everything was going to be alright and I was also probably overreacting to things. I wanted to tell i
JOEY'S POVI would never be able to stand hurting Samantha no matter what had ever happened between us in the past. She was still my first love and nothing was going to change that.After I had left that summer I discovered that she definitely had to move on with her life. I returned to school and was so engulfed with my studies that I had no time for relationships with women even though they threw themselves at me. From the highschool girls, to middle high and the ladies at college, I never had the time. I was too busy planning my life and minding my business.Getting adapted to my estranged dad had not been actually easy because it came with its troubles. I would never bring myself to trust a man that had abandoned his own family and went on his spree of romance. It was too risky and tacky for me and I would not be stooping that low. I went about my own stuff and even got accused of ghosting on everyone by my mother. I could not share my feelings with anyone and would not tell them
GEORGE'S POVI stared after the guy that was leaving. It had actually been a long time since I last saw him. The last time was when he had been out with his daughter but seeing him now with Samantha was actually pretty annoying."He's never going to like me, right?" I asked Samantha as I came around to sit with her on the chair."What would you have him do? You're not a totally likable person, George." She said to me,Like venom, it hit my heart."That hurts. I used to think that I was totally lovable." I said to her,"In your dreams." She said as she focused on her meal.I sat down there as I observed her. She seemed a lot brighter this morning and I was wondering if it was because of the pizza I sent her or because of him. I would actually prefer the former to the latter as I needed an assurance of hope that she was actually going to reconsider us. Not in a selfish way though but I wanted a chance to make it up to her for all I had done with Kourtney especially. I never should have
