Aileen's POVI've never known of being deadly shocked until today, the man that I've run away from was actually the one who hired me, he was my boss? He…was? Alan was sitting before me, I couldn't believe it. I was not prepared for this, no…even if I was given a chance to prepare myself before meeting up with him then I'd still react the same way or worse. I didn't know what to do or what to say, all my mind was telling me at that moment was to run away, fast. I acted up as my mind told me to and ran from him, again. I don't know why but his presence was kinda scary to me, I was scared of him when he was the one who wronged me. Being devastated was an understatement for what I was actually feeling.I was glad that the taxi appeared the moment I ran out of the building as if it was ordered to, I hailed it and told the driver to go ahead, not even knowing where I wanted to go at the moment. I sobbed silently on the backseat of the taxi, thinking of hundreds of things at the same time, t
Alan's POV I almost went crazy for love if it weren't for my parents who were taking runs and turns making sure I goes back to normal, I almost lost myself in the way to make her understand that whatever happened wasn't my fault, but she was heartless to me, she didn't even want to see my face let alone listening to me proving myself a victim before her.Yes she was heartless, very heartless to even consider what we had in the past before judging and abandoning me for good. She changed me or should I say the pain that she inflicted in me just because of one misunderstanding that could've been solved, changed me. And just like her, I too slowly….slowly and gradually became heartless.I have tried my level best to look for her with no avail and I finally gave up, just like how she gave up on me….I gave on her and I have never thought that I'll be meeting up with her ever again, I thought that would actually be better because my other half wants nothing but to make her taste the same pa
Like the last day, Aileen woke up and prepared herself for work. She was weirdly slow today, wishing that she didn't have to go back to that office again because going there would cause her nothing but pain, but then she would rather stay than deal with the law. Leelan won't be going to school today, his teacher gave him a day off so he could rest but he was fine now thankfully, he would be staying with his grandma for the day and she would have to deal with his bossy father.Her lips twitched just by the thought of him, his attitude yesterday made her so angry, he was never like that, he never looked down on anybody before. She then corrected herself, years have passed and if she has changed so even he must've changed too. He is a CEO of a big company now so the change speaks for itself starting from there. Her mother informed her that Leelan's grandfather would be undergoing some tests, the doctor wanted to observe him for a couple of days before engaging with the operation, at leas
She knocked down the door and then before waiting to be welcomed, she walked in and went to stand before him, her business look already plastered on her face. "You called for me sir" she said formally, Alan who was still speechless by her reply over the phone just a second ago, had the phone hanging in the air, he placed it down "Ah yes, well…" he even forgot what he wanted to say now that she was standing right before him. Aileen raised her eyebrows waiting for him to talk, he called her like she made a very grave mistake! So why was he biting his words now?."So um….you've decided to work under me" he said, fixing his position on his chair. "That's exactly what I said last night over the phone sir" she wasn't going to entertain the subject if that's what he wanted, anybody else who knows them and their past would be shocked to see what their relationship has turned to now. "Wise decision" he said, looking at her eyes, for a moment he felt like he was lost in them, what his stupid mi
In the room was an oldman and his assistants, who got up upon their arrival, "Welcome back Mr Holmes, nice to have you here today" they shook hands with smiles on. "Nice meeting you again Mr Sky," he paused, turning to introduce Aileen who held his briefcase now, Rafael had to wait outside the room along with the rest of the guards. "This is Mrs Fletchers, my new secretary" Aileen came forward and shook hands with the man, "Good morning sir" she said, but the man's eyes were somehow giving her red flags, why was he looking at her like she was a nice food that he wanted to feast on? he even licked his lips like a psycho. "Oh, Lady Pole was a good one of your secretaries, but I have to admit that Mrs Fletchers is very beautiful. Where do you get such gems, I mean secretaries from?" He said shamelessly for his age, Aileen gritted her teeth when she felt his large wrinkled hand squeezing hers a little, if it wasn't for her work then she would've smacked the hell out of this man. "Hahaha,
The next day Aileen made her way to the workplace after dropping her son at the kindergarten. She came a little earlier so that she could catch up with her work from yesterday. She doesn't like having workloads and so she started working the moment she arrived, buried with lots of emails to go through and reply to, she received a text. When she sent a text to Alan last night she didn't expect any response from him and that is why she went ahead and sent it but now that he actually replied she was nervous of opening it, since they met the man had nothing but a rude attitude towards her. She looked at her phone for a while and finally opened it some moments later.Boss (I would've done that to anybody else so stop overthinking) "Huh! Who said I was?" She scoffed, blaming herself for actually reading the damn text to start with. Why the hell did she pay her gratitude to that worthless being when there were many red flags stopping her? She knew this would've happened but still it made he
Aileen's POV I was the one who made the decision to break up with him and leave him for what he has done to me but then today, I just proved to myself that I haven't moved on at all, he was still able to move my emotions. I tell myself that I've moved on and I don't need him anymore, he was a cheater and I deserved more than him, I was way too worthy and all but turns out all of those thoughts were delusional, I haven't moved on and I have not gotten over him.I thought I was strong and my heart was hard as a rock but after seeing him with Tiffany today showed how much weak I was. I hate it that I couldn't even hide my emotions before him. I felt pathetic showing my ex that I'm still in love with him! Yes! I freaking am and that is the only reason I get to explain why I was hurt. It was all so crazy and annoying and I felt like burying myself hundreds feet under for the shame, he must be very happy to see my stupid reaction, he must be thinking that I still love him and want to have
She left at work that day fully stressed, she can't even tell what Alan did back there. He has a girlfriend and they looked head over heels so why? His act only proved to her that she was right in the past and it was safe to say that he is still a cheater! He cheated on her with Celine in the past and today he did the same to Tiffany, she felt disgusted by his behavior. She didn't head straight home and decided to stop by at the hospital first. She hasn't been here for days, she was just so engrossed in her new work that she didn't pay him a visit. He was still in a coma and undergoing some tests, heart failure could be very scary, she could see how it drained her father. He looked very old compared to his age now and all because he was sick. Sigh….she took a towel and started to rub her father's hands, face and then to his legs, she suddenly began to sob, leaning down on his chest, "Daddy, please hurry and wake up, I….I need you so much, I'm tired of everything" she sobbed telling
