I stood there staring at Michael.

None of us were saying anything, and I don't think I want to be the one who started the conversation.

Weird. But if it were two years ago and someone told me that looking into Michael’s eyes would make me feel small before him and intimidated, I would not believe it. Though I remembered how intimidating I was in his presence when I had not ever dated him before.

But then it was different from now, because I feel more intimidated than ever right now. It must be because of the cruel words I had said to him on that day.

So facing him presently was a difficult thing for me to do, and it felt like I was in a job interview, where the judges were giving me the judging looks.

“Hey, Joanne”.

Hearing his deep voice, hiccups came out of nowhere, and I had to cover my mouth and turn away from him.

‘This is so embarrassing!’. I thought to myself, and staring at the table where I had once put the lunchbox on top of it, I saw a covered transparent glass cup t

    Cassandra’s pov, I remained sitting on the sofa with a glass of wine in my right hand, and my left leg above my right leg as I watched the TV. That was the way I could pass time without disturbing my mind about that wicked woman who stormed into my son's wedding. A day that was supposed to be a happy day turned out to be a disaster. That so-called religious woman ruined everything for my family. And the pain she inflicted on me was yet to heal completely. The scar was gone, but the faint pain was still there. Each strike in the place she punched me reminded me of the hatred I had for her. I never liked her, you see. The only person I found reasonable in the Gael's family was Kai. It has been a while since I last saw him. He and my son became good friends, and that was strictly why I allowed him to stick close to my son. If not, I would never have allowed him to be close to my son. Averting my mind from thoughts concerning those evil families, I stared beside me on the sofa, an

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 139) Can't endure the pain.

    After Michael left the ward, my Dad returned like a second later, and I turned away from him immediately because I did not want him to see my face. Both my eyes were filled with tears and were blurry and could not see things clearly, and my cheeks were soaking wet from the tears which had escaped from my eyes. I really did not want him to see how miserable I was.“What happened, sweetie? I saw Michael leaving. Joanne, are you alright? Look at me, dear”. My Daddy said to me, and I felt that he was standing behind me because of his strong presence which I sensed. “Dad, Michael does not want anything to do with me anymore. He does not want us to get back together”. I said to him, and the more I heard these words, reality continued to strike me and tears streamed down my cheeks uncontrollably. I whimpered and covered my face using my palms. In all my life of being on earth, I have never felt this weak and helpless before. My Dad came and stood in front of me right away. I think the

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 137) Leaving her with him.

    Joanne’s pov, I have searched every inch of my apartment, but my ID card was nowhere to be found. It was as if it disappeared into thin air. But how was that possible? One thing that I could be certain about myself was that I am not careless when it comes to safekeeping my stuff. So, where the heck did my ID card disappear to? I left my apartment and headed for the elevator quickly. Because even as I searched for my ID card, time was being ironic and did not wait for me. I said so because it felt like time went by quickly, and I had to stop searching for the ID card and was heading for the hospital to meet my Daddy. He must be hungry. I decided that after giving him his breakfast, I would continue to search for my ID card, or at least, think about the last place I saw it before it went missing in a blink of an eye. But what was there to think about when I knew exactly where I last kept it and also saw it? It was inside my handbag, and I was the one who put it in there myself

    Adira's pov, I had returned to the hotel, arrived at my hotel floor and got inside my hotel room. Right there at the door side after entering my hotel room, I sat down on the floor and leaned against the door. I left the plastic bag on the floor as I continued to think about Franklin. Those words he said to me have not left my mind. It had been stuck there, and as someone whom no one had ever confessed their feelings to before, I felt my heart beating hard against my chest, combined with a feeling that kept on twisting my heart and making me feel anxious in some kind of way. “Why did he have to confess his feelings to me?”. I said and rubbed my palms on my face as I lowered my gaze to the ground. “Who are you talking about?”. Hearing Kai's voice and lifting my head only to see him squatting in front of me and staring at me with curious eyes, I flinched. “Gosh, Kai! You scared me!”. I exclaimed with my hand placed on my fast beating chest. Why did he do that to me? For a second

    “I like you, Adira”. Franklin repeated the words he had said to me, and hearing them, I understood that the words I heard him say earlier didn't just appear inside my head out of the blue. It was Franklin. He was the one who had actually said those words to me. Wait. Did this mean that the thought I had previously about him being interested in me was not just a guess but turned out to be real? “I am sorry for confessing my feelings to you in this way. I really thought about telling you about my feelings after you returned to Delfinda city. But, I can not withhold my feelings for you any longer”. He said to me, who hadn't yet recovered from the shock of his earlier words. He likes me? He?I didn't even know what to feel. “I will call you back later”. I said to him and hung up the call, not giving him the chance to say any other thing to me. Though he called me like a second later, I did not answer his call, because what could I possibly say to him when my mind was still in shock
