LOGINIt's been two weeks since I moved here. The hospital provided a room on the next floor, and I've been sleeping and eating there. Although I do most of my stuff in Darian's room, there are times when I prefer to do it in my room, alone.I've enjoyed my stay here so far. It's similar to when I lived alone in school, but better. It's better because it allows me to stay closer to Darian.I greet the guards at the entrance to Darian's ward and step inside. I see a nurse cleaning Darian's legs and immediately rush over to her."Oh no, don't," I tell her.She stops and stares at me."Who are you?" we ask each other at the same time.I've never seen her here before."I'll go first. I'm the nurse in charge of this patient.""You? But I've never seen you," I say."Oh, I was on leave, and I've just returned," she explains."So who are you?""Me? I'm Amelia. His girlfriend... No, wife. No, ex-wife." I extend my hand for a handshake.She takes it reluctantly."I was married to him, and then we div
Lucian doesn't react and only watches me cry. After a few minutes, I dry my tears and focus on him. "So, where is he? Where can I see him?""He is over there, but before I take you to him, I want you to listen to his doctor. I feel you'll understand the situation better after you listen to him.""No." I shake my head. "I want to see him first. I want to see Darian first. Take me to him, please. I've come a long way, and I've waited so long to see him. The doctor can wait. I want to see Darian first."He lets out a sigh but agrees after a few minutes. "Okay, this way." He points and heads there. I follow him down a lonely path. We walk through a quiet hallway until we get to a door."There are usually guards posted here, but I sent them away so you can be alone with him," he explains.I swallow hard and slowly open the door.I search the room, and I see him lying in bed.My heart breaks immediately when I see him, and it takes everything in me not to break down.How... How could this b
Amelia's POVI can't stop crying as the bus drives us back home. Mom is worried, and so is everyone on the bus.I thought long and hard about it. About the reason Darian hasn't appeared before me in the last few years, and while thinking about it, I suspected that Darian might be unwell. However, I immediately thought against it, but while speaking to Lucian on the line, I couldn't help but lean into that angle again.Is Darian unwell? Is he unable to speak? Is he unable to see me? Is he in a coma like he was the last time?I only thought about it, but I didn't expect it to be real. I can't believe it. Darian has been sick for a while, and I'm only just learning about it. All this time, I blamed him and hated him for not coming for me.I was angry at him for abandoning me. I knew he loved me a lot, but I honestly thought he had abandoned me. I was certain he had broken his promise to me, so I bore grudges against him.Who knew... Who knew it wasn't the way I imagined it? I can't belie
Lucian's POV"Are you here to see him?" Doctor Francis stands up once I enter his office."Yes. How is he?" I ask as I take my seat before him. He also sits down."Still the same. He is still unconscious. We were hoping that he would regain consciousness by now. It's sad to see that he's still in that state."I let out a sigh. "How long is he going to remain in that condition?""Is there really nothing that can be done for him?" I ask."You know it all. We've tried everything we can, but nothing has worked. We have also tried traditional treatment, but nothing.""You said he is fine. You said the surgery went well. But it's been three years, and he is still in that condition. Are you sure the surgery was a success?""It was. We've examined him a hundred times, and we've not found anything wrong with his body. If there were something, we would have found it by now. I met with a therapist and discussed Mr. Darian's condition with her. I asked her why Mr. Darian wasn't waking up despite
The graduation ceremony has ended. I graduated with first-class honors and received four major awards. My mom is grinning from ear to ear as she serves food to everyone who attended.They're all in a good mood. They're having a whole party by themselves inside the bus, but why am I not happy?Wait, I know why. I know why I'm not happy. It's because of Darian. He didn't show up as expected. I looked for him during the ceremony and even after the ceremony, but I didn't see him.He did not come for me. Neither did he call or text me.Does this mean that he has truly forgotten about me? I'm sad, but I have to keep a happy face so my mom doesn't realize it.I let out a sigh as I keep watching them.I'm sitting outside on a wooden bench. I look up, and someone sits down beside me."Who are y...?" I'm about to speak when he smiles."Why do you look so down?""Rory," I call, surprised to see him."You did great. You graduated with so many awards. I don't think I'll get a single award at my gr
"How is he doing? Is he doing fine? Has he gotten married to Bianca? Do they have any kids...? I'm curious about those things," I explain.He lets out a sigh before taking a bite of his steak. He also drinks his whiskey before bringing his attention back to me."So...?""Mr. Darian is fine. You don't have to worry about him," he tells me."He is fine? Do you mean he is alive?""Yes, he's alive and well. You don't have to worry about him.""But why haven't I heard from him in a long time?""You heard from him recently. You messaged each other.""How am I sure he's the one who actually replied to me? I didn't even hear his voice. This is unlike him.""That's because he is really busy now. You know his future ambition. He is focusing on it. He is focusing on building himself.""So, does this mean that he got married to her? Did he marry Bianca?" I question.He pauses and stares at me again before shaking his head. "He did. He married her," he answers.My shoulders fall once I hear this.
