28 - Fallen into Place Plans
Cassidy’s POV
“Dad! What the hell did you do wrong?! Eugene wants nothing to do with me!” I stormed into the house, crying out after dad. I was furious. Never in my life have I ever felt more humiliated than I did today in front of Eugene.
I turn the corner into the living room to find dad sitting on the couch smoking his cigar. He turned his head slightly, showing that he acknowledged my presence in the room. What in the world was he so calm about!? Because of whatever he did, I didn’t even get in a good word with Eugene! He didn’t even want to see me for the rest of the day. He walked past my office when he got off work and didn’t even bother to greet me when I did. Ugg!
I make my way towards hi

Where Broken Hearts Meet 29 - Dinner Mistakes
Eugene’s POVIt’s been a week since Rose has left for Paris. Since our fight, Rose hasn’t contacted me once. I guess I really upset her when I assigned Cassidy as my personal secretary. I mean, I knew she wouldn’t be happy, but I had to think for the company's benefit. Rose will eventually get over it.I slumped into my desk chair and combed through my hair, which became a habit ever since Rose left. Not once have I relaxed this week. With the contracts and meetings, I’ve become the walking dead. I can’t sleep a wink without Rose by my side, and us not talking is not helping at all. I binge my day with coffee to keep myself awake.Wait. Wait a minute! Since when did I become so clingy about a woman? Gosh, Rose. Look what you’re doing to me! Once again I combed through my hair

Eugene’s POV“Careful, there’s a step,”Cassidy said as she helped me into the house. She led me to the lounge and placed me on one of the sofas. I don’t know how I got tipsy so fast. I mean, I only drank two glasses of rice wine. Ugg, my head hurts.Cassidy walked into our kitchen and returned with a glass of water. She sat next to me as she handed the water to me.“Here. This might help a little bit.”I gratefully took the glass of water from her and took my first sip. It somehow helped me, but I still felt horrible. Ugg, what did they put in that rice wine?I gulped down the rest of th
Where Broken Hearts Meet 31 - The News
Eugene’s POVI slugged back to the house, where I found Cassidy enjoying a glass of wine, smirking at me. I glared at her.“You planned this, didn’t you?”Cassidy looked at me then studied the wine in her glass.“I don’t know what you are talking about.”“Bull. You know what I’m talking about!”I yelled at her. She didn’t look fazed at my outburst in any way.“Eugene,”she said, drinking the last bit of wine in her glass.
Where Broken Hearts Meet 32 - Awake
Eugene’s POVIt has been a month since Rose’s accident, and she was still in a coma. Eric phoned my parents the night things spiralled out of control, and I sat on the hospital floor wailing. My parents rushed over as soon as they could. Needless to say, they were shocked to see the state I was in. My mother sat on the floor, comforting me. Father stood next to me and placed his hand on my shoulder to comfort me in his own way. I was a complete mess – still am. I did not want Rose’s parents to find out about what had happened, but mother insisted that they had to know. I know I was being selfish, keeping everything to myself to protect myself from the judgements I would receive from them. Luckily, Melissa was still in Paris, so my mother phoned her instead. It just so happened that she was having dinner with them when my mother called her. If I knew anything, it was that Melissa would try her utmost t
Where Broken Hearts Meet 33 -Explanations
Rose’s POVI stared at him as he stood at the door. He didn’t even look at me as he found his toes to be more important than his wife sitting in a hospital bed. He said nothing for the entire time he stood at the door. Why? Am I not important anymore? Are you so disgusted with me that I’m not even worthy of being looked at anymore?I felt the warm train of tears streaming down my face as I stared at him. I don’t know how long I’ve been in a coma, but seeing him like this just made my heart ache.Eugene slowly looked up at me. But when he saw me, he suddenly turned around to leave again. I needed to speak with him. I had to!I gathered up my courage to speak, even though I knew it would come out as shuddering w
Where Broken Hearts Meet 34 - Expecting
Rose’s POVIt’s been nearly six months since I’ve been released from the hospital. The doctors kept me there for supervision for two weeks to make sure I was stable to be living my life again. After they took the bandages off my head, the blow to my head was still visible. The doctors told me that it would take about three more months for the wound to my skull to heal completely. So, I went for monthly checkups to make sure it was healing correctly. I also received my medicine for it during those checkups. The doctors also put me on anti-shock medication, saying it would help prevent any side effects from my blow to my head.I was grateful that I could receive such good treatment from the doctors. Eugene made sure that they took great care of me. He was also back to being himself, albeit more considerate and concerned for my well-being than he was before. Me
Where Broken Hearts Meet 35 - Stolen
7 months laterI was holding Lacey firmly in my hands. Not even a few hours ago, I was rushed to the hospital, and they had to do emergency surgery to get her out because I couldn’t give natural birth to her. The doctors told me I might die if I attempted to give natural birth because my body was too frail. Eugene was next to me and panicked when he heard I might die, so he lectured me. His outburst led to the nurses taking him away to calm him down while I was taken to ICU.Now here, after everything, here she was. Our beautiful baby girl. I rocked her in my arms when the door to my room opened, and in walked Eugene. The second he walked into the room, he paused in his steps and looked at me and then at Lacey. He rushed towards me, or rather, towards Lacey, and sat next to my bed. He looked at Lacey with utter admiration. I coul
Where Broken Hearts Meet 36 - Danger
After about a fifty minutes drive, we arrived at the harbour. The taxi driver didn’t want to go further into the vicinity. He dropped me off at the nearest place he could stop. I climbed out of the car, paid him, and watched as he drove off back into the city. I turned around and studied the harbour. I get why he didn’t want to go further because this was an abandoned harbour and no doubt someplace where the mafia people gather to collect their shipments. Now, if I wanted to commit a crime, this would be the place I would go.I took a deep breath and entered the vicinity. I couldn’t hear anything except my footsteps that echoed as I walked. It was high tide, so the ocean didn’t even move, and there were no seagulls in the sky. Everything was completely silent.I walked until I found a clearing where I saw Cassidy standing
