A NEW DISCOVERY 2Stephen’s pov*********I slammed the phone to the ground as soon as I got off the call, Amanda seemed to be getting too involved in Callum’s affairs and it triggered me. I recalled how we had met in college, how she had fallen in love with me back then.Amanda and I had been the most popular couple in school then, but we had to separate when I had some financial issues. I winced at the thought of losing her again. Amanda had always been materialistic, meeting Callum Peters and striking that deal was all she needed to have me in her corner yet again.“I will not let you leave again Amanda, even if I have to take someone out of the way,” I said to myself, through gritted teeth. *************************MYSTIC WELLS APARTMENT “I am here to see Damon,” I said to the middle aged woman sitting behind the counter at the reception of the apartment. She had her hands on the desk as she ruffled through some papers while simultaneously looking into the computer before her.
A NEW DISCOVERY Callum’s pov**********It was the first time I would be seeing her so vulnerable, it broke my heart to see her hurt so much. If only I could explain to her that I didn’t intend to make her hurt this much.“Sonya, pls don’t cry,” I said, cupping her cheek, but she pushed me away as fast as she could, driving off.I dashed towards my car, following behind her. I hated myself so much at that point. How could she ever forgive me now?“Amanda,” I muttered underneath my breath. It was all her fault for wanting that public dinner date. I felt remorseful for blaming my wife, but I couldn't help it. I had been really hoping for things to turn out well between Sonya and I and just when we were heading somewhere, it became ruined.My cell phone vibrated on the passenger's seat, I glanced towards the screen. “ Stephen” was sprawled across.I kissed my teeth in annoyance, making a mental note to return his call when I catch up with Sonya. Just as I focused back on the road, trail
HURTS SO BADSonya’s pov.**********The rest of the evening went by quietly. I got myself busy with a lot of work, trying not to think about what I read on the blogs was hard, but I was trying my best.The thought of Callum’s face alone made my insides churn and whatever soft spot I was beginning to feel for him before all felt stone cold.I blamed myself for letting my heart warm up to him only to have it broken yet again, recalling the particular picture of Callum and Amanda kissing that kept haunting me.I grabbed the glass of water before me to drink, but I was too lost in my thoughts, the glass fell and broke.“Are you ok?” Stacy dashed towards me.“Em yes yes” I stuttered, making my way to the bed where I sat.“You don’t have to think about those two Sonya,” Stacy began, reaching for my hands as she say before me on the bed.I didn’t know what to think. I did not want to talk about it. I just wanted to forget Callum for ever,“I am fine,” I replied, feigning a smile that did n
THE SCANDALCallum's povI waited extra thirty minutes in my car when I saw Sonya walk in.“I will get you to show your love for me,” I said to myself, I decided to wait in the car and go in late to spite her. I was right, she seemed livid.“Why do you want to leave so soon?” I probed further, making my way into the office as I took a seat next to her.“Callum this isn't funny,”she glared,“Why did you instruct the designer not to start without me,?” she questioned, raising her voice in fury.“I am the boss!” I replied plainly, averting my gaze back at the designer who seemed confused as she watched us.“Tazlyn, you can go right ahead,”I said, oblivious of a very furious Sonya who had her hands folded before her in anger.Sonya seemed very displeased with what I was doing, but I didn't care, all I wanted was to be around her and to get her to admit her feelings for me.I drifted off, the voice of the designer became only a whisper to me as I thought of the next step to take if Sonya a
NOT BACKING DOWN 2Sonya pov**********Callum’s last words sent shivers down my spine, there was no way I was falling in love with him again.“What feelings?” I finally blurted out when I found the right words. My gaze shifted from Stacy who let out a gasp when Callum said those words.“Stacy, you can wait outside,” Callum said, ignoring my question.“She is staying,” I glared, my palm twisted in a ball from the sternness of my voice.I looked at Callum’s face, watching as his lips twisted into a sly smile.“I want to talk to you personally,” he said, the smile on his face now faded as he looked dead serious.I paused for a bit, before Gesturing to Stacy to leave.Just as the door shut behind us, Callum gestured for me to take my seat in the office. That sly smile crept its way back to his cheeks as he smiled at me.“Let’s cut to the chase, what is it you want to discuss,” I said sternly, ignoring the smile he was giving.“Calm down Sonya,” Callum responded, raising his arms in the a
NOT BACKING DOWNSonya’s pov“ you cannot be serious,” I glared, “Callum you are married, you have a life here, you cannot..,.” I continued “And You want me around,” Callum cut in, chuckling, he seemed to be having so much fun with what he was doing.I shoved him out of the way and jaded to leave.“So much for wanting my last visit before I leave to go well” I thought to myself, heading straight to my car.I could not tell what it was Callum was doing but he seemed to be having so much fun in my plight. I started the ignition heading straight to the airport.As I drove, I recalled just how he had teased me a few moments back and it made me laugh.“You should not be laughing Sonya,” I said to myself, smacking my own head.I could not tell why, but a tiny part of me found it amusing, but tgat didn’t stop me from thinking of the possible internet scandals lurking around.“If only you were not married” I blurted out and screamed from the realization of what I had just said almost immedi
