After what was a long and tense drive back, I was so happy when we finally arrived at my apartment complex past midnight.
I was now free from the awkward atmosphere between Mr. Beckett and I, yes, I have reverted to calling him Mr. Beckett because I wanted to draw a line between us.
I rushed back home happy, happy to see Miles. We needed this, the whole open relationship thing, because it had opened our hearts so much.
He was able to be the man that I fell in love with. We spoke like we used to. He often called when missing me. He was my Miles again, the one I have built so much with over the years.
But something stopped me in my tracks the moment I reached my apartment: voices, moans of pleasure and Miles’ voice.
He had brought a girl back to our home, he had betrayed our rules. Worse, he had cheated again, because we clearly agreed on this being an exclusive relationship again.
When I had geared myself to confront him, the lady&rsquo
My life became peaceful after that, just me and a man that enjoyed dotting on me. It was fun to be introduced to Brian’s world, and I enjoyed everything.The current office gossip made me giggle and kick my feet, because it was about how the boss has been glowing lately.Many speculated he had fallen in love and his girl was treating him right. I felt proud that I was making Brian happy enough that other people could see the change.“Come on, we are going out tonight, whether you like it or not,” I hear Adriene yell at Brian.It has been two months since I left the whole Trisha and Miles saga. Kai and Adriene had been trying their best to drag Brian out of his home but it was not working.“I told you two already, I want to stay in,” I enter his office cautiously.Greeting the two and placing the documents I have brought on Brian’s desk, Kai looks at me for a while, then he looks at Brian and grins.
It was a while until I packed everything up. Miles and Trisha were busy consoling each other in the living room.When they saw me walking out with my suitcases, they looked grim, “Ellie, can’t we just talk about this, Trisha and I were not serious. It was just some fun.”The moment Miles said that Trisha’s father shot up from the couch, “you were playing with my daughter’s feelings?”“Father… please calm down,” Trisha says. He then started coughing violently and spitting up blood, shocking both Miles and Trisha. They rushed out with him, to the hospital.I had to calm myself down before calling Brian to come pick me up. “You are moving in already,” he teased, trying to lighten the mood.“They came back today,” I felt like I needed to tell someone before I blew up.I poured out my heart to him, about them bringing Trisha’s father with them and moving my
Miles’s call is abrupt, but the shamelessness makes me want to gag, “Ellie, I have accompanied Trisha back to her hometown, something happened to her father.”He rushed, panicked. I received Trisha’s text explaining everything about her father’s health deteriorating after Miles dropped the call.I ignored the message and continued walking to my office. “You are staying with me for now,” Brian says. “We should call your landlord about terminating the lease.”“Miles and I haven’t talked yet,” I can see the frustration in Brian’s face, “I want to set the record straight and breakup, I will not be going back to him.”He studied me for a while, “I will not stand back this time, Eleanour, I will fight, because you gave me the right to fight.”’“I know…. We will be official once I break up with Miles officially,” I coaxed him, &ld
Waking up in his arms felt just right, I didn’t feel any guilt, it just felt right. This should be my new life with a man who values me.“You haven’t told me what made what made you run out of that apartment in the middle of the night,” his hoarse morning voice jolts me up.I can feel cold tears on my cheeks. How stupid have I been? How stupid am I? To be played like this?I sigh, “Miles has been cheating on me with Trisha:”He seemed to be completely awaked by this. “Your best friend Trisha?” I nodded and watched him go completely nuclear.“Brian, where are you going?”“To have a talk with both of them,” he says, getting dressed quickly.I rushed after him. He needed to calm down, because this would be a disaster if he confronted them. I don’t want him to go to jail.“Stay here, I will be right back,” he says, heading to the door.

It was a few minutes later that Brian finally saw I was crying, then he rushed to my side, “Sweetheart, are you okay?”It was disheartening to see Trisha tell me something about herself, about the money my parents worked really hard for and always use any chance she gets to criticize me.“Does Trisha know she is my cousin?”My father studied me for a while before chuckling, “Poor child, don’t stress yourself, kids shouldn’t involve themselves. That is your friend. She has helped you greatly. Do not fight because of her father’s mistakes.”But how can I just look at her father’s actions because they greatly impacted my future and contributed greatly to her success.She was going to clubs eating takeouts while I prayed for my parents to have enough money for fees.It took a while to calm me down. This whole situation was like a bucket of cold water. I had always envied Trisha, because
