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. Ev

The constant back and forth shouting between Viola and her fiancée made it hard for me to apprehend the situation. Tears were slipping from Lyra’s eyes, which confused me tremendously. What happened that made her cry? What was her business between these two?But then I was familiar with Viola’s truculent behavior with Lyra as I witnessed it the night of our engagement, and the way she was shouting at Michale confirmed my suspicion. The reason for Lyra’s tears was Viola.This was what I was aghast of coming here. Whenever Lyra and I attended any of the McCoy rendezvous, it went downfall every single time. This was a bad idea.

Nathan left. This was not what I thought tonight would be, it was the last thing I considered happening that night. It never came across my mind that something like this could even take place, the way Michele cornered me on that dark terrace that scared the hell out of me.However, the fear was more about the sudden attack, all I could think at that moment was getting out of his arms. The way the table turned and I fell on my face was indeed outrageous.When Viola came, and then all the other audiences in that room, it robbed my breath.

Nathan and I had barely talked in the past week. After he separated our bedroom, we scarcely saw one another even when we were living under the same roof.Nowadays he started coming home late, sometimes he didn’t even bother to come. Most of the time it was after midnight, around 1 or 2 am, the time when I was sleeping. Again, in the morning, he was out of the house before I could open my eyes. In the past week, we had talked only three or four words to one another. Other than that, it felt as if we were both two strangers or some kind of roommates who had no interest in one another’s business at all.We attended the Sunday dinner at Amanda’s house even though we went there alone; I was appreciative that he drove me back to our apartment.Amanda again asked us about the wedding that I delayed a few weeks ago. She told us it would be great if we were married before the baby arrived in this world, then she would have a secure family and home. She

I didn’t spend the night in that apartment after Lyra told me she was leaving the next morning. I packed my clothes and went to the club.The sleep wasn’t my buddy that night, so I got busy with work. I organized the last five years’ accounts in one single night. It was useless as I already had the data on my computer, yet I did this fucking job. I was done with this at that moment; it was morning, at 6 o’clock, my time for a jog.As I started jogging in the park, other people were walking, exercising on this beautiful morning, but for me, this bright sun was meaningless. Usually, I loved this time of the morning; the sun rose in the morning waking up the dark world with her. The way a new morning was a fresh start for a human being, I loved taking a deep breath in that hope-filled air, but today it was obnoxious.I hated everything I saw at the park. The birds singing, the older couple or the younger couple being t

I flew through the pages as soon as I got home from work. Sleep wasn’t welcome for me as I needed to know what was going to happen next in this secret affair that was going on between these two. One thing I was sure about was that, that affair didn’t last in the end. Whatever they felt for one another wasn’t strong enough to survive the thunderstorm of the reality as Uncle Josh and Aunt Rose were still married and together. However, reading these words that were written by Uncle Josh, it felt like some grand, unrequited love that was blooming under the nose of society. It was wrong. Cheating on someone or keeping dark secrets from our loved ones was the same as stabbing them in their hearts with a sharp knife. I wonder if the husband of the woman or aunt Rose ever got suspected about this affair that was happening. Most of the pages were about why they hid their infidelity from the world, how every chance they got they would get physica
