"Why?" Her eyes were filled with tears. Gemma didn't think he would proceed with the marriage. She was already late. She looked at his hand and spotted a good ring. Gemma quickly looked away, sucking the tears and ensuring she wouldn't cause a scene. "I'm sorry..." he said, lowering his eyes. He could barely stare at her. "You promised..." Gemma's eyes found Alice where she sat, staring at them. She cleared her throat, looking away, trying her best not to look suspicious. She had no idea why she had to pretend anyway. They were already married. Some ladies walked over to her, pulling her from her chair. Her stomach was visible to Gemma. Juan's eyes followed hers, finding Alice walking away. "Gemma, let me explain," he said, grabbing her hands. "I can't believe you" Gemma pushed his hands away from hers, stepping backwards "Please just let me explain, okay?" "What? You finally decided you want kids?" "What's wrong with you?" "Isn't she pregnant, Juan?" "Gosh, Gemma, please

The door locked, and Gemma hurried into her bedroom, finding everything related to Juan. She took a big box out and angrily cleared them. Her favourite things from him and the worst gifts she got from him. "This is so ridiculous," she pulled back, sitting on the floor watching her room torn apart. She covered her face in anger, tightened her grip on her hair, crying in silence. Every time she recalled what had just happened, her wailing became so loud that she couldn't control it. Pinching herself severally, hoping for all this to be a dream, she hoped this was a dream. Every memory of Juan came to her like a flood. Gemma couldn't believe they weren't together and had separated, her biggest fear was before her, and she couldn't do anything. Gemma stood up, pulling the box and his belongings. She paused close to her closet. She opened the door and found more of his clothes than hers. Gemma sighed. "I must have been stupid! He doesn't even pay my rent!" she rushed, pulling away h

"Hey, it's okay," Isaac rushed over to her, pulling her closer to his arms, "it's gonna be okay," He assured her, holding her tight. Whatever she was going through, he wanted to make sure he was there for her, even though it was the last thing he could do. Minutes later, Gemma lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling as the mood was awkward again. "Are you okay?" Isaac asked. Gemma murmured, nodding her head. "I am, thanks," She said. "Can I ask a question?" Isaac said. "Yeah," "Do you like... have siblings?" "No, I am the only child. Why are you going to call my mom," she giggles, making him laugh. "I have a brother," he said, and silence engulfed the room again. "Why are you telling me?" "I can introduce you to him. He's the doctor" Gemma stood up, turning to him on the floor. "Really?" "Yeah, I also..." "Does he work in the hospital here?" she asked, her eyes shot with desperation and curiosity. "Yes, he was the one who attended to you," Isaac said so

As time passed, Gemma was discharged and finally returned to her apartment. She opened the door, and things were still how she had left them. She had so much to do, cleaning, throwing things away, she had a lot. She picked a picture of her and Juan from the ground, staring at it, but instead, she thought of him, Isaac. She had rejected his proposal, and ever since then, she had only seen him once, when he came to say goodbye to her. "Date me," He said, "I promise to treat you better and love you," He continued. Time stopped for a moment in Gemma's world. She wished, as it stopped, she could plant a kiss on his lips, but she wanted to make a run for it. "No," Gemma said, just like she thought she was running from him, running from anything relationship. "Oh," Isaac murmured, licking his lips. "I can't date you," she replied. Isaac looked away. He did expect that Gemma was still in love with Juan. Isaac raised his brows at her, smiling awkwardly. For a moment, he wondered what

The next day, Gemma's eyes opened, and her room was bright and shining. The ray of the sun interrupted her sleep, and she huffed, rolling and stretching, exhausted from being awake. She glanced at the time, and it was past nine in the morning. She smiled and got out of bed."Gemma!" her mouth yelled. Gemma rolled her eyes, entering the bathroom. She picked up her toothbrush and toothpaste, ready to brush her teeth. She hummed along to the rhythm of playing along in her head."Gemma!" Her mother called again. She sighed and yelled back."I am coming!" She said the house went silent for a minute, and she continued humming. As soon as she was done, she opened her door, walking downstairs to know why her mother had screamed her name."Mom?" She looked around, and Gemma found breakfast set on the table for her."Oh, Gemma... I am going out," Her mother stepped out of her room in a blue floral dress. She looked so beautiful and angel-like. Her hair rested on her shoulders."Oh, wow... you

The event started, and the lights went off. They began by introducing the new company on a wide screen and stopped. "Hmm," a figure sat opposite them. The lights came back, and Gemma's eyes met Isaac sitting right before her. "I present you, Mr Isaac Dale," the voice echoed. Gemma looked at the man calling out for him. She looked back at him. "Hey, Gems." He smiled, and Gemma stared at him, stunned. Isaac still looked good as always, like a male model pulled out of a movie, tall, sexy and handsome. A small smile curved her mouth. She couldn't look at him. Isaac smirked and got up, heading to the stage. Her eyes followed him, and she clutched her dress. Why he messaged her? she wondered, Anita, holding her hands. "Are you okay?" Anita asked. Gemma looked at her, "Yes, I am," she smiled, taking a glass of water. "Wow, I didn't even think Isaac would be the new owner," Anita said. Looking at him, he looked so good in the tuxedo he had on. "Hmm," Gemma rolled her eyes

"So you're going to see him?" "How do I look?" Gemma asked. She was dressed in a short white gown, which had a long V-cut. "Oh, I think he would love it," Anita said. Gemma giggles. "I want to discuss work." She shrugged. "Yeah, in that ridiculous gown," Anita said, "Come on, don't be so old," Gemma brushed. "You realise I am only thirty-four?" Anita asked. Gemma cleared her throat and smiled. Gemma and Anita stepped out of the studio. In her hands, she had a bag of clothes and passed them to Anita, who took them. "What do I tell your mom?" Anita asked. Gemma shrugged. "You want me to drop this for you?" "Thanks, Anita. I appreciate it," "Should I tell her you went on a date with Mr Blue?" She asked. Gemma rolled her eyes. "Just say I caught up with some old friends," She replied. Anita nodded. "That's a good one," She said, "Here, it's cold." Anita throws a coat over her body, and Gemma quickly puts it on. From a distance, Gemma could find a car approa

"Oh, that." He picked up his napkin and wiped his mouth. "Because of you," He said. "What? you didn't even know me?" Gemma chuckled. "Actually... I did, " He replied. "What do you mean?" She said "Well, I met you at a runaway. I am not sure you remember," "What?" She laughed. "When you modelled for Jamie's wear," Gemma tightened her lips, speechless. She remembered that day. Anita had gotten that deal for her. "Yeah, that?" But that wasn't a good day for her. She remembered inviting Juan over, and that was her first gig as a model, but he brought his girl, Alice, over. It made her devastated, but somehow she was able to rock the runaway with her moodiness. "I should have told you first," "Continue," she said, taking her fork. "Oh, okay, well... A friend, Jule, introduced me to Anita after discovering I take good pictures. That's what I tend to tell most people. She asked Jule to get me to work with her. I love photography," He rushed as he explained. "Wow, Ju
