Soon the meeting ended and Drake pulled me by the hand out of the hall.“Rory.” I heard a familiar voice call and it sound sad and filled with emotions I would never care much about ever again.I reluctantly turned around and as I guessed George was running towards me with Britney trying to catch up with his pace.And I could only grin.“Why did you leave Rory? I thought you were dead. Do you realize that you scared me to death?” He said as he got to the spot where I stood with Drake beside me.“You are coming with me, Rory.” He said and held my wrist to pull me away but thankfully Drake stopped him.“Hey, she's my assistant and you can't just take her with you. Plus you are standing right in my premises.” He roared out in anger and I couldn't find him more pleasing and charming than now.“Do you know him, Rory?” He turned to me.I shook my head without even thinking it through because I sincerely wanted to hurt George.“That says it.” He snatched my hand from George and pulled me int
We got into the elevator and I tried my best to stay ten feet's away from the boss, but I could still hang around Bates because he was a married man.As the elevator continued to move up, the silence inside increased and I could occasionally feel the boss staring at me.Although I wasn't one to fancy men anymore, I just didn't know what I would say if he asked me out because I wanted to so badly keep my job.My thoughts were drifted off by the ding of Bates’s phone and in that same second the elevator arrived at the tenth floor too.I rushed out and overheard Bates speaking to the boss. “The Loren Organization will be here for the meeting soon.” His voice became lower and unbearable as I moved very far away so I couldn't hear his complete words.But wait, The Loren Organization?...Why would George choose to come to Chicago for business?And more over, that meant that I may see him sooner than I thought, because I would be with the boss at the meeting, except if the great Drake Blackw
Five Years Later..“Mommy..mommy. I'm off to school.” Linda rushed down the stairs into the sitting room and she placed a soft peek on the back of my palm and rushed out of the room and out of the door.I could hear the horning of the bus and the noisy sounds of the kids playing so I went to the window to watch my baby get in and she turned to wave happily at me.I waved back with the same spirit but deep down I wasn't feeling the same at all. Linda had actually been a twin and my plan to abort the pregnancy had only killed one of the babies, leaving Linda still in my womb and I only found that out when I began to vomit frequently after leaving George.I had thought it was just an illness, but no, it came with a rising fever and a need for me to check if I was indeed pregnant..And low and behold, Linda stayed innocently inside of me not knowing what her existence was actually doing to me - I knew that George would come, and he would definitely come back to hunt me.Hunt me for leavin
I let the harsh wind wash it's way through me and I inhaled every breath to calm myself down…But…I figured that the one who was truly being fooled….was me!. A notification popped up on my phone, reminding me of my surgery scheduled for the afternoon. George glanced at it behind me, his brows knotted together in confusion…"Darling, what surgery are you having?"I quickly slipped my phone into my bag and smiled. "Nothing, just some spam. I understand everything you said. I understand you!." I said to change the topic entirely..Satisfied, George placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. "That's why you're my Darling. You always understand.” He paused to place another kiss on my right cheek, then he continued..I'll go entertain the guests first and then I'll come home to keep you company tonight."Silently, I followed him, my heart weighed down with unease. But instead of heading back to the grand hall, he took a detour to the guest rooms upstairs.Through the slightly open door, I saw he
“So you run around, bring children into the world without marriage and not just one–but five stillborns? Oh the heavens shouldn't stay asleep…I just hope you get your deliverance soon..”“It's enough!” My father in law, Mike Loren finally intertwined.“I don't want to hear anymore nonsense from you two ladies, because if I do, I'll be sending you both out till the party is over!” Mr Loren said. His eyes were serious and mean and then he glance turned to me….and I got my part–A flash of disgust in his eyes.He walked off and Brittney turned to me with a dangerous stare.“But you need to talk to your son, he needs a wife and not some mistress.” George's mother followed behind her husband..“It's you to decide. I'm out!” George's father replied.."Back in the ancient days, a filthy little whore like her would have been drowned in a well or something..," Gerrald’s mother paused and spat, her eyes brimming with disgust. "She’s nothing compared to a decent and respectfull girl like you, Br
That night, after returning home, I waited for George to step into the shower. I booked an appointment for an abortion. And I purchased a plane ticket to Chicago. Three days from now, I would be gone. I immediately dropped down my cellphone immediately he emerged from the bathroom with his hair damp, he spoke casually, as if it were of little importance."Honey, I'm going on a business trip abroad in three days and I'll be busy for over a month."How right? A month was just enough time for his wedding, and plus his honeymoon. I looked up at him and asked softly, "George, I haven’t been feeling well lately. Can you stay? I’d like you to spend more time with me." I said to hear his reply..His brows furrowed instantly, his voice turning cold and harsh. "Honey, we’ve been together for seven years and you know how I am. I don’t like women interfering in my work. Be good and wait for me at home. I’ll bring you back a gift when I return."At that minute my last shred of hope crumbled. I
