-=Ram's Point of View=- I just left Agnes with some instructions and told her to call me when dad wakes up. I finally decided to agree to the terms that the person willing to help us gave me, and that was for me to agree to marry whoever he wanted me to marry. Now that I've finally decided, I just need to know how I can tell him my answer. I couldn't rely on my dad since he was still unconscious, and I wanted to do this now or else I might change my mind. The only way for me to find out his contact information is for me to check on my dad's belongings; maybe there is a number I can find, so I decided to go to dad's house to look for any clues. When I arrived, I immediately went to my dad's room and started looking for anything I could use; maybe he wrote a number somewhere. I immediately searched his room for any clue but didn't find any, so I decided to check the phone in his room as well as the one in the study room but didn't find any new numbers. Are you looking for somethin
-=Atilla's Point of View=-I've been waiting for Ram to come home from the hospital, and I couldn't help but worry about him, remembering how concerned he was when he learned that his dad had been rushed to the hospital.Instead of waiting, I turned on the TV to distract myself from my worries, and that's when Ram found me.I stood up and approached him; I could see the stress on his face, which led me to believe that something bad had happened to his father, but he assured me that his father's condition was already stable and that there was nothing to worry about.Even though he didn't say anything, I could tell he was agitated."Is there something bothering you, Ram?" I couldn't stop myself from asking, and just as expected he appeared surprised after hearing my query."Atilla... I have something to tell you," he answered hesitantly.The seriousness in his voice, as well as the expression on his face, baffled me.I decided to wait for him to speak because I was particularly worried
-=Ram's Point of View=-Damn it!" I kept on cursing while driving back home.My mind is a complete mess after what I discovered in the restaurant, especially when I found that the girl I thought was a prostitute was actually the sister of one of Asia's wealthiest businessmen.A part of my mind tells me I should be happy, but that is not what I am feeling right now because I have been betrayed!I feel like the biggest fool in the world, and this was by far the biggest blow to my pride because of how Atilla deceived me."Shit!I couldn't help but yell when I noticed the traffic light had turned red, so I stepped on the brakes quickly.My phone started ringing at this point, and I immediately scowled when I saw it was Atilla calling, and instead of answering the phone, I angrily threw it in the backseat of the car.My dad remained silent while staring at me; he didn't say anything as we left the venue of my engagement party, which I appreciated.To be honest, I didn't know how to explain
-=Atilla's Point of View=-Ram had been gone for a while, but my gaze stayed glued to the closed door, while the tears still kept on flowing from my eyes.I never thought that this is how it was going to end between me and the man I love the most when all I wanted was to be with him.This is exactly the reason why I was hesitant to tell him the truth, but I guess this would be much more acceptable if I told him the truth myself.I kept on staring at the door, hoping and praying he would come back, but more than thirty minutes had passed, and he never returned.So I decided to go to my best friend Nicole's house, which is not that far from Ram's place.I decided to take a taxi to go to Nicole's place. It's just a short walk, but because of all the things running through my mind right now, I might get into an accident, so I should take a cab."We're here," I didn't even notice that we had arrived at my destination, and if it weren't for the driver telling me, I wouldn't have realized it
-=Atilla's Point of View=-I have made the decision that I will still go back to his place even if he pushes me away. I love him so much that I was willing to accept whatever punishment he is going to do to me to hurt me, as long as he could forgive me.It was also my fault, not anyone else's, because I pretended to be someone I'm not, and I had plenty of times to tell him the truth but I chose not to. But before going back to his place, I decided to see my brother first.I want him to help Ram with their business, but I don't want him to force Ram to marry me.Yes, I wanted to get married to Ram someday, but not this way. I wanted him to marry for love and not for anything else.After thanking Nicole, I immediately went to Henry's office, where I saw Samantha at her station."Hi, Samantha. Is Henry in?" I asked, smiling."Good afternoon, Ms. Atilla; yes, Mr. Cervantes is inside; let me inform him first," she said.She then pressed the direct line to Henry's office, and after talking
-=Atilla's Point of View=-"Hello?"My voice is still trembling because I just finished crying when I heard my phone ring. I didn't even bother checking who was calling.It's been three days now since Ram and I got engaged because of Henry's manipulation, and I was hurting so much because it seems that my relationship with Ram is going nowhere. I miss him so much.I longed for the days when he thought I was a prostitute and we shared this residence, had meals together, and made love."How are you doing?" I heard Nicole's voice on the other line, and I could detect the worry in her voice."I'm great, of course!" I answered, trying to stop the quivering in my voice and trying to sound like I was ok, but in reality, I felt like my heart was being torn into pieces."Do you really think I would believe you're ok? Just wait for me there; I will go there, and whether you like it or not, you will come with me to my place, and I will be like a shadow staying with you," she promised.Even thoug
-=Ram's Point of View=-I am aware of the way Tricia has looked at me ever since Atilla left and after I called him to my office to discuss my other appointments.The way she looked at me suggested that she doesn't agree with the way I treated Atilla, but in my opinion, I didn't really do any bad things toward her; as a matter of fact, I think it was commendable on my part that I didn't get angry.Honestly, when I saw Atilla, there was this certain yearning that I couldn't ignore. It's been three days since I last went to my condo unit and saw her, and knowing that she would be waiting, wanting to talk to me, made me decide to go to my dad's place.Seeing her again brought a certain feeling that I couldn't ignore; I really miss her touch, I really miss her kiss, and I really miss everything that has got to do with Atilla. Fortunately, I managed to conceal it.I can't change the fact that I like hell! I want her! And I want to take her again and again, but what she did to me stopped me
-=Atilla's Point of View=-I felt so much pain in my heart when I left Ram's office. The cold treatment that Ram was giving me was enough to break my heart in half.I decided to see Nicole. I know it's unfair to continuously seek her out whenever I was hurting, but she's the only one I could talk to, and right now I needed her.I immediately hailed a taxi and asked the driver to bring me to Nicole's place, while the tears still continued to flow from my eyes.I noticed the curious gaze of the cab driver, but I chose to ignore it."Nicole..." That was the only thing that I managed to say when Nicole opened the door, and once again the tears started flowing freely from my eyes as I threw myself into her waiting arms.I let my heart out crying while Nicole remained silent as she tried to comfort me.She led me inside and continued to listen to all my heartache and how I was hurting from Ram's cold treatment."Just leave him, Atilla. It's easier for you to move on while it's still early,"
