**Fancy's POV***I don't understand what Jacob is going on about. The only thing I see here is him not liking Kyle anymore. “Fancy, I know you love him, and there's nothing I or anyone can do to separate you two. Fine, I know that and if you notice, I didn't talk to him about it.”“If that's the case, why aren't you free with him? Even if it's hard, just fake it? Do anything to make him feel welcomed. That is, if you have the slightest love in your heart for me.”Jacob narrowed his eyes as if he's not convinced about what I said. Why was he acting this way? “Fancy, I'll put what you said into consideration for sure. But I need you to do something for me. I know you love him, and I have no problems with your love for him. However, I just want you to be careful.”“I am careful.”“Then let me ask you one question. Do you see a future with him? I mean, I learned your best friend Nora is married to the man she loved. Do you see a future with Kyle that way? Or had there been any promises
***Kyle's POV***I woke up the next morning only to see missed calls from Fancy. Why did she give me so many missed calls when she could have just texted like she used to? I was about to call her, but immediately held back. I didn't want to get too attached to her. If I wish to get revenge without feeling guilty, then I must get further away from her. I wonder why she still hasn't realized that I am not into the relationship anymore. Does she love me so much that it doesn't matter to her I do not give her that much time? While I was pondering over Fancy's naïveness, my phone suddenly rang, startling me away from my deep thoughts. Looking at the caller, I froze when I saw it was the guard in charge of my father's cell. What could he have to inform me this time? I quickly picked up. “Mr. Kyle, there's been an emergency, and you are needed immediately.”“An emergency? Where?” I asked in a slight panic. “It has to do with your father. You should come to the infirmary.” When I hea
**Kyle's POV***Getting out of the hospital, I quickly contacted my private investigator, whom I hired a year ago, to find out everything that is related to the case between my father and Mrs. Diana. We agreed to meet at a five-star restaurant which is far from where I live. In situations like this, it is only advisable to be careful at all times in order not to get into trouble for something uncalled-for. “Collins, what did you find out this time?”“Mr. Kyle, you wouldn't believe it. After much investigation, I came across a document that was forged, and I also have a witness with the original documents. Someone who was supposed to be your dad's witness.”“My dad's witness?” I asked, just to be sure. Though I was a little boy them, I still remember that the witness who wanted to plead for my father was suddenly unreachable. This was baffling because back then he couldn't have just disappeared overnight. Mrs. Diana won the case for being innocent and traveled to New York shortly a
**Kyle's POV**This was so confusing because I had thought that the only reason he would run away is that he was threatened. “Hold on, was it Mrs. Diana who sent people to threaten you?”When I asked this, he suddenly went silent. "Uhm, about that… I can't really tell. It's not her. I'm not afraid of her to the point of leaving town. It's just some personal issues.”I gritted my teeth in anger. “Do you have any idea that because you were out of town, my father is still in prison? If only you had shown up back then, I'm sure he wouldn't have been the one in prison now!” I yelled, but Collins immediately held me on the shoulder, and only then did I realize I was actually yelling. If only I could help myself not to. I looked around and noticed a few people watching me. Fuck! “Mr. Kyle, to be honest, I feel bad about what happened. You have no idea just how badly I blame myself for what happened. If only I could turn back the hands of time, I would have strived to go back to that day,
***Kyle's POV***# A week later I was on my way back from the fields after practice when I got a call from the hospital my father was admitted in that he had another attack. Without time-wasting, I drove down to the emergency room and saw my dad in a terrible state. Tears ran down my cheeks, seeing him in a pitiful state. Verbal statement has been taken from Mr. Bright, still it was difficult for me to reopen the case. They requested more evidence since it had been long; the case was closed, and a verdict had been issued to worsen it. What should I do? My dad doesn't have that much time to live, and there's no way I'll let him die without getting him out of jail. Even if that was the last thing I can do for me, I'll surely do so. At this point, I became terribly desperate. I need all the help that I can get at this point. Just as I was thinking about what to do, my phone suddenly rang. Since it was in my hand, I peered down at the caller and saw that it was Fancy. At that moment,
**Fancy's POV***I don't know what to make out of this, but for some reason, Kyle has been acting more distant than ever before. I wish I could find out why he's this way, but nothing comes to mind. The reason I had wanted him to attend my mother's birthday party was, so I could have time to talk to him. I wished to know why he was acting the way he was. But when he came, he seemed to be lost in thought for reasons I can't tell. I had asked him severally what the problem was, but he didn't give me a reply. While in the hall, I kept staring at him from time to time even though I was at my mother's side, welcoming her guests. From my observation, I noticed he kept staring at his phone constantly. Come to think of it, I'm having the feeling I was so afraid of, and that is Kyle having another lady. I mean, his recent actions show he must be having an affair with another besides me. To worsen it, he suddenly excuses himself from his seat and goes outside. I can't bear this anymore. I
***Fancy's POV**What is he trying to do? I'm sure he's trying to calm the situation. “I know all of you present must be wondering what that is on the screen. Most of you might think this is a prank, but let me say this. It's not a prank at all!”The hall went dead with screams, taking their gazes to my mom with fright in their eyes. I instantly went pale when I heard these words coming from Kyle. “What the fuck are you trying to do, Kyle!” Jacob asked, marching over to meet him but way before he could get to Kyle, some group of unknown men immediately stopped Jacob from reaching out to Kyle. “I know you're confused and must be wondering why I was suddenly speaking against the Logan's when, as most of you know, I'm in a relationship with the daughter of the accused. Actually, this was all a plot to get into the family.”Immediately, I collapsed on the ground with trembling hands. At the same time, I felt sick to my stomach. Just then, Kyle took his gaze to my mother, but what I saw
***Kyle's POV**I know I wasn't going to shoot, but anything to scare her into telling the truth is something I was willing to do. “You had better start talking, else I'll pull the trigger!” “Kyle please, have mercy. My mom just said she's innocent. I'm sure there's a mistake somewhere. It's impossible for her to have done that which you're accusing her of.”My anger has taken the best part of me. My dad will die soon, but these people are pleading for the culprit and saying she's innocent. So my dad who only had less than two months to live, isn't worth being released even though he was innocent?“Out of my way!” I yelled at the top of my voice. “No! I will not let you kill my mom, Kyle. You'll have to shoot me first!” Jacob yelled. How can they be this cruel? I looked around and everyone seemed to be worried for Mrs. Diana. “Kyle, please have mercy. We can talk this out in private, I'm begging you…” Fancy cried and tried to reach out to me, but those I hired pulled her down, m
