I turned, whispering to them softly, Caleb looked utterly suspicious then walked off immediately. I turned back only to see Lovina in an apron, "what the fuck? Girl... how are you here?" I said quickly. She wore a funny smile on her face then removed her gloves from her hand dragging me closer to the corner, "did you know how rich those two are?" She whispered softly. "I just found out in the garage," I whispered back, my mind still taking its time to process basically everything. "What are you two talking about?" We turned immediately to see Conrad with a cocky grin on his face and Leslie sitting on the couch with a big popcorn. "What are you doing here?" I asked back, folding my arms, then turned to Leslie, "girl, how are you here?" "Lovina brought me here of course, why didn't you ever tell me that yo
The next day, Jake finally got discharged and we headed back to his place with Caleb. The second we entered Caleb's car, my phone rang immediately, I checked the caller, it was Conrad.Why could he be calling about this time?"Can you give me a minute? I need to answer this," I said softly, stepping a bit from the car."Hello..." I said softly, I didn't hear anything except for the calm breathing at the other end of the car, "Hello..." I said again this time a bit frustrated."Conrad if you don't—" he suddenly ended the call, I frowned my brows, "that's weird," I murmured then walked back to the car."Stop creasing your brows like that else you'll look like an old woman," Caleb teased.I rolled my eyes at me, entering the car, "firstly, creasing my brows won't make me old but thinking about how Conrad stresses me would definitely make me old."The car felt warm with laughter, I felt a small pull from Jake, he leaned behind my ear, "Caleb's been looking at us weirdly, I think he suspec
ADDISON'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
“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
