The screen of my phone went dark after ringing, this was the sixteen number call that I got from Nathan in the past three hours. I popped the popcorn in my mouth, averted my gaze from the phone that was resting beside me on the couch, and gave my every bit of devotion to the movie that was engaged on the 60-inches TV in front of me.
Today I was in a romantic movies marathon, right now “A Walk to Remember” was playing on the screen. This was movie number three, and I decided to see at least two more before the night ended. It was my healing process, the best one that worked for me like magic.
Every time I was vacillating or distraught with some situation or someone to compose myself, I would watch romantic movies for a stretch until it soothed my meddlesome heart.
However, today was strange. I was in movie number three, but nothing was happening, the comfort that I always felt by watching them was nowhere to find today. If anyth
I opened my eyes to the darkness; it was still night. The time I passed out on Penny’s couch was around 6. Seeing the city light intake from the window gave me my heart to feel peace for the first time in a long time.The day I ended my ties with my family, which was a few days ago, had been hell for me. Owen was constantly calling me every day, he wanted to talk about the incident, but I was ashamed of the imprudent manner that I showed that day. I shouted at all of them, said things that I wouldn’t consider verbalized even in my dream. My manner was boarder line aggressive, which I never thought I was able to do.Uncle John texted me saying he wanted to meet, but I didn’t have the courage to look at his eyes, so I was ignoring his messages as much as I could.I hated everything Viola and Brian told about Nathan or about his family. How could a person be so rude, so heartless, was out of my insight?I didn’t
I lied. I told the lie right on her face with little thinking. The only thing that was on my mind was that she couldn’t know the truth. Not until I knew the truth.That bastard Harvey was still adamant and kept repeating that it was an accident, and he had nothing to do with Olivia or the incident that happened that night. However, I found it extremely arduous to believe his words when all the evidence testified against him again and again. I had enough of his drama as I was on the edge of losing patience; I wanted to shatter him into pieces tonight, but that didn’t happen.He was lucky, but his luck was about to run a mile away from him.As soon as Matero and Caleb sent me the message, I took off for Penelope Gibson’s house. My suspicion was on point when I saw Lyra sleeping on the couch. I exhaled a sigh of relief. In my head, I knew she would be here, but my heart was restless until I saw her with my eyes. The entire d
I walked into the warehouse exactly an hour after Luka messaged me informing me our honorable guest had come to understand speaking with us.It only took three days from our side to open his mouth, which was a wretched tale. If you ask me, it was more depressing than Romeo and Juliet. I personally thought it would take us only a day to get the truth before these three days, but he had Matero in our team, who vowed not to do anything wrong in his life. He confused our life with him as he stopped me and Luka every time we planned to break Harvey’s nose or hand. I mean, we had never sworn that we wouldn’t hurt anyone or whatever bullshit that was, but we failed to advance with our plans multiple times because of Matero.Even though he was a capable man, my right hand, one of the most trusted men with all the dirty works, but this time he was a headache.Luka told me to lock him with Harvey so we could finish with our work and go b
Owen was here in my workplace with his friends or clients for a meeting or a gathering. Whatever he liked to call it, that wasn’t a point.The deal was he was here.I had been working in this place for a long time now, but this was the first time any member of my family ever visited this place. They might have come here before I joined the kitchen of this restaurant, but after I joined this place, it became a forbidden place for each of the McCoy’s.There were another hundred great places to dine and wine than this, and I preferred them to go to those places instead of coming here. Although I never utter a word regarding this matter, it was just a wish on my part that they would stay away from my job, and they did, which was remarkable.Margaret announced their arrival to us and ordered, which was unnecessary, to be honest. They were like other guests who were here for dinner. She might ponder that I would be interested
Something that I loathed from the bottom of my heart was waiting for a person. That was why I was sitting in this office room precisely. Waiting for one of the bastards of Chicago was the greatest one that had ever been born in this world.Andrew Simmons.This would be the first time for me to meet him, although he was close with my father once upon a time. But for some reason, I always got that “stay away” cautionary from that man. He literally was the perfect example of a villain, just like my father. He was a womanizer, but he liked to show off, not only his wives but his money, authorities in a word you could describe him as a power-hunger.It was magic that his daughters were so different from him, otherwise, the scoundrel had some reputation that linked him to the scandal automatically, just like my father.This man divorced his wives faster than any human being changed their wardrobe, which was amusing. Every time he married a new woman
It was still hard to believe for me that dada called me, this was something that I considered close to an incredible miracle. No, sweet heaven, it was a miracle, something that didn’t come across in my mind, even in my wildest dream.After my birth, I didn’t think dada ever held me in his arms as the difference between me and the rest of the McCoy was too vivid. All the McCoy’s were the owners of blond hair, while I was the one who had red hair. While they had vibrant ocean blue eyes, I only in the house with forest green. Even in height, I was taller than the most McCoy women. You didn’t have to be a genius to crack the puzzle, just one heedless glance was enough to see the truth.Dada never uttered a word about this. Actually, he never really said a word to me, he just ignored me or the fact that I wasn’t his daughter. Even if he knew mom cheated, and I wasn’t his blood, he never really bought the subject on
As I expected, the engagement party was a grand event. Needless to say, it was Matthew McCoy’s daughter who was getting married, after all. The business tycoon, Viola McCoy, it had to be one of the majestic weddings of Chicago.I still remember the wedding Brian and Inessa had a few months ago. The wedding took place quite in a rush as Brian was busy with work at that time, but the magic that McCoy pulled out in that small amount of time was outstanding. Even today people talk about the wedding, their wedding was like a dream wedding that women begged to have.Even though Inessa didn’t want anything like that, she got that, and if you asked me, she totally deserved that. She was such a darling; I was more close to her than the rest of my family, which wasn’t something astounding. For a moment, I thought I was more friendly with Kavin than with my family. At least we talked, even if that was him hauling me over the coals.
Brian led the path as I followed him into the crowded room of the lounge area. Inessa was standing near the open bar talking with someone. It was Dean, one of Brian’s biggest investors and friends. Olivia talked about Dean occasionally, as they had an upright bond when she was dating Brian. Dean even threw a memorial for Olivia, which was attended by most of the people in Chicago.A woman was standing beside him, it was Samantha, a.k.a Sam. These two started dating a few weeks ago, and now they are one of the hottest couples in the town. It was a different matter that Sam and I had something three years ago when she shared the bed with me. We continued our relationship for more than a year before she dumped me as I wasn’t ready to commit to her, which she wanted badly.It was an excellent decision as if we got together, and something happened between us, then I was sure that would be a catastrophe, as I would have fallen in love with Lyra no matter what.
