MasukADDISON'S POV After those words left my mouth, Glen left in rage with Conrad trailing behind, the room went back to normal but there was this tugging in my chest that just wouldn't go. I went out of the room for fresh air but ended up finding myself at the hospital garage. I saw Glen's car move fast. I hid quickly but I was certain he saw me out of the corner of his eye. I turned my head back when I bumped into Lovina, she looked at me worriedly then dragged me to the corner, "why did you do that?" I breathed out softly, "I don't know... I just did," my voice was shaky, while my mind was still in a haze. "I hope you know you're hurting both yourself and Jake at the same time," she said softly, bringing me closer to her. I breathed against the hug, "I feel guilty against Leslie and myself, I don't want to do this to Jake but it's either this or I'll find myself back to Glen and I can't risk that." Lovina patted my back gently, "I will always have you back no matter but I can't l
GLEN'S POVThe second that word escaped her lips, it felt like a splash of cold water just poured all over my body, I froze completely, my eyes still on Addison, she didn't look happy, almost like she forced herself to accept him."Aren't you going to congratulate them?" Leslie said with a very excited tone.I turned to face them completely, Jake's hand was on her waist, it's taking everything in me not to cut his hands from her waist, I couldn't watch this.I turned and left, rubbing my hand on my face to calm me down before I genuinely lost my mind. I could hear Glamerio calling out to me but the rage in my body couldn't let me answer him.I entered my car about slamming it shut when he stopped it with his hand, "what the fuck is wrong with you?" He yelled.I let out a shaky breath, throwing my head back, my fists folded on the steering wheel controlling myself before I burst out in anger.Glamerio exhaled softly, "you need to fucking calm down, do you want Jake to feel like he has
The moment I read those words, I immediately blocked him, it felt like something just pierced my heart as I blocked him but it was either that or he would continue to torment my soul. I slammed my head on the table feeling mentally drained, "did I really do the right thing?" I mumbled to myself. I raised my head and exhaled deeply then continued my assignment. Let me use this to forget about him for a while. *** "I swear to God Leslie, if we miss this quiz because of you, I'll personally dig your grave," I yelled at Leslie as we ran to the lecture hall. The moment we stepped into the lecture hall, my eyes searched for the lecturer, thankfully he hadn't made it. I checked my wristwatch, we were five minutes early. "See, I told you that you were just making a fuss out of nothing," Leslie said while catching her breath, "the lecturer hasn't arrived yet," she whined then took her seat and brought out her fan. "Excuse me?" I tapped a coursemate, "we're having a quiz today right?" I
Glen kept looking at me like I had lost my mind, but I wasn't having it, "I want you to fucking leave," I said again, my voice breaking.Glen tried to reach out for me but I moved back slightly, "leave..."He stared at me then finally left, the moment I closed the door, I dropped to my feet, broken. I can't believe I did that, but it was either this or I would regret everything.I opened the cage slowly, my puppy ran out immediately liking my face, it felt like he knew that I needed someone to hug, "at least I have you to pour all my worries on."I smiled gently when I heard a ding from my phone, I carried my puppy and checked my phone, it was a message from Glen."I'll give you some time to think but I really can't call off the wedding."I rolled my eyes, angry, then threw my phone aside. I didn't want anything to add to my anger. I looked at my puppy who seemed drowsy, "seems you also need to rest."I slowly put him on my bed then he fell asleep, "cute," I muttered then looked at th
After a while, Caleb came and took over while I went back home. I wondered how bad a fashion major's work was, that he was going through all that while working at the same time. My mind trailed to when he told me about his bipolar disorder and now this, "maybe I was too hard on him," I whispered under my breath. My head rested on the side in the cab, I hope he recovered soon. Minutes later, we arrived at the estate. I walked straight into the house not minding the greetings by the maids, "she's back," I heard a very familiar voice ring loudly. I turned slightly, Heather and Leslie sat with cakes in their hands, "come over my dear," Heather ushered me to come to her side. I managed to put a small smile on my lips then headed to her, I sat next to her then Leslie handed her cake to me, "try it," I collected the cake and tasted it, it was very nice. "This is nice, I love the soft vanilla taste," I said softly then Heather handed me the one in her hand, I guessed that it was the on
Glen leaned in to kiss me, suddenly my phone rang loudly cutting through the moment, "fuck..." Glen muttered under his breath relaxing on the couch.I answered the call, my body froze as I heard that Jack was admitted to the hospital, it felt like the whole world came crashing down immediately."I'll be there soon," I said immediately, ending the call and packing up my things.Glen held my hand immediately, "can I know what's going on?" He asked softly, his brows furrowed in confusion."Jack's in the hospital and I need to get to him," I said hurriedly, but he still didn't let me go, "Glen, he's my friend and I need to be there for him.""Wasn't he fine when last I saw him?" His grip became tighter on my hand, I didn't want to deal with this."Glen, release me this instant," my voice was stern and firm, he finally released my hand refusing to look me in the eye, "he may have been looking fine, that doesn't mean he can't still fall sick."I hung my bag on my shoulder then pecked him sl
“Addison…” I blinked at him, still frozen in the middle of the mall, of all the people I could have bumped into while secretly trailing Glenn’s secretary, Jack was probably the last person I expected to see. “You?” he added, his brows pulling together slightly. “What are you doing here?” His wo
Glen straightened slowly, “I have a meeting.” His voice was calm as he reached for a stack of documents on the desk, flipping through them carefully. My chest tightened. I watched his hands closely, he gathered the papers, slid them into a slim folder, and tucked it under his arm. I searched his
"Is that my gift for helping?"I looked at his text, rolled my eyes and entered the cab. Leslie kept giggling as she replied to the texts on her phone."Who got you feeling like a high schooler?" I teased."Oh please," she let out a soft laugh, "like every guy I flirt with can make me feel like a h
"I'll call you when I get there," Leslie said while entering the guy's car"Sure," I waved at her as the car zoomed off, I exhaled softly and went back into the big mansion.I went straight to my room, taking out the novels that I had gotten a few weeks ago but never got the time to read.Before I
