Hannah
“One question: Did you sign the contracts by my name?” I asked and the message remained seen for two minutes. Just when I was gonna ask a follow up question, she replied.
“Yes, but”
“Stop” I sent her while she was typing. I don’t wanna listen to her excuses. I wouldn’t do this to her even if I was dying. I wouldn’t tie her to something she hates for my selfish reasons no matter what. But she died. And she wants to explain herself but I know, whatever the case maybe, there is just no reason that would satisfy the deed.
“But Hannah”
“I have heard enough, Sam. I really don’t wanna talk to you right now”
I closed my phone and quietly walked out of the company for some fresh air. So yeah! She was the one to betray me, after all of those school years and college years!
I mean, I trusted her more than myself. She was with me from the start and we even knew each other so well that we moved out together and decided to live together!
We were closer than most of the sisters in America and she betrayed me. I mean, this is just the worst feeling. Why would she do this? How can she do this?
If it was anyone else, I would have accepted but I still can’t believe it even after I have heard it from her myself.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself. I have always gone through this and I think I have to bear this forever.
I decided to come back tomorrow because Ryan already fucked with my head. Does he think that I love him? Like what the fuck man? I don’t even care about you! Yeah maybe I had a crush on you but seriously who doesn’ have crushes in their teenage years?
And those crushes are mere attractions and sometimes we think it is love but it really isn't. It is the most rare case where there is real love in teenagers.
And we were definitely not that. I don’t know the reason why he would think that I love him.
I went to my car. Yes, we both have our cars now. She always had hers anyway.
I went inside and started driving. All my thoughts were making me go crazy because it was insane to think that I would meet him and have this very awkward conversation as the first thing.
I know I have to work under him because I can’t betray you like you did, Sam. It is not even betraying, it is just revenge but still I can’t do this to you.
So, I am gonna bear with thi job. See that jerk’s face every single day. All because of you.
I banged on the steering wheel in frustration.
I reached home and went inside. I knew she would be here but it was obvious that I was going to ignore her. I reached the living room and she was sitting there. She got up as she saw me and came to me.
“Listen Hannah--”
I went straight away to the stairs and then to my bedroom. This isn’t even for me. It is good for her too. I would really yell at her and destroy every fucking bond we built in these years.I closed the door and sat on the bed. I felt like crying. Now what? I am gonna work under Ryan? This is like a bad dream.
I heard the doorbell ring but didn’t want to go down, so I just kept sitting, until my phone rang.
It was Sam, but I picked it up.
“Hey, I know we aren’t talking, but there's someone… who wants to meet you”
“Who is it?”
“I can’t tell you--”
“Fuck you Sam” I ended the call. She is acting like a complete bitch. Now she can’t even tell me who is the person on the door when she clearly knows that he or she wants to meet me?I opened my door and went downstairs. I went towards the door, it was closed. “Who was it?” I asked Sam.
“Open the door”
Okay, this is insane. Don’t tell me she didn’t bother getting up and instead called me saying someone wanted to meet me so that I could come and open it?
Oh God.
I opened the door and looked at the person.
My Fucking God.
“What the hell are you doing here!?” I almost yelled. I wanted to scream at the audacity of this person but I thought I’d rather stay calm because I don’t want him to think that he freaks me out.
“Nothing” he came inside and I got aside so that we don’t touch. He closed the door.
“Ryan! What the hell?”
I looked at Samantha and it looked as if she knew who was coming and she wasn’t shocked at all, which was really getting on my nerves.
We used to share everything, when did she become like this?“Get out Ryan” I whispered. “This is my house too and even if Samantha has allowed you in here, I ask you to get out with complete rights”
He came to me and came close. “Ryan!” I warned him but he came closer and closer till I hit the wall. I looked into his eyes. The best part about him, his eyes. So mesmerizing.
I looked sideways, I didn’t want to be captivated.
He took my hand and took it near his face. I looked at him and he kissed it. I took it away and pushed him away.
“What the hell are you doing!?”
“Nothing. Just inviting you to come to work from tomorrow, baby”Oh. My. Lord.
Hannah“Don’t you dare call me that” I got to the side and then to the stairs. “And you should stay away because the next time you try to come close, I am gonna file a harassment report”“Oh Hannah, why are you so serious. I am not harassing you”“You are, because I don’t want you near. Why don’t you understand a simple thing that I HATE and only HATE you?”“Uh not again, Hannah, we both know what’s true in that--”“You are so self obsessed now Ryan” I didn’t wanna continue the same conversation again so I went upstairs again.I locked the door and sat down on the bed. I am so fed up with all this. I have to do something. I can’t live with Samantha anymore. She is acting like a completely different person and she didn’t even reach out to apologise or som
MaxI woke up next day at 7. It was good waking up every day, going to my company, talking with Ryan and doing business. It kept me happy.I got ready and called Ryan as my daily deal. Even if we are busy all day, we still spare time for each other every once in a while. This is the time we both have decided to be connected daily so that we stay close. Our friendship is amazing and we can’t lose it in the shade of business.“Hey man” I called him.“Hey Max”“What’s wrong?” I asked, sensing his sadness.“Well…” he sighed.“Related to Hannah?”“Yup”“Always”“Nope. This time it is different”“Oh really? Menas you aren’t whining about where she is, and you are not crying y
HannahI didn’t wanna create a scene so I kept quiet until we reached his cabin. He closed the door and I got out of his hold.“What the hell is this?” I almost yelled.“I am happy these doors are sound proof” he smirked and I was a little scared. Soundproof. No one will even hear me scream. Oh fuck, I should stop thinking this stuff.I took a step back. “Stay away” I whispered but my voice looked as if I was completely scared. He got back and went far.“No need to be so scared”“Where do I have to sit and work?”“You will get your cabin tomorrow. Today, you can work here”“What the hell? I am not working here!”He sighed. “Look, Hannah. Don’t be dramatic. I am really just trying to make things good because we are gonna work--&rdqu
Keith“The CEO of The Swifts’ corporation is here!! This is insane!!” the waiter yelled and my heartbeat increased.Ryan.I will meet him again today.“Woah, that’s crazy” I looked at him. “Don’t waste time and ask him for his order”“Oh yeah!”He went out. I know he will not even recognise me but what can I do? It was his girlfriend, the one I kidnapped. This all is so close to my past and it scares the hell out of me. Maybe I will not get caught but who knows what will happen?He brought the list and I nodded. “Thanks Joe”He nodded and left. Joe has been my friend since I started working here. He might be the waiter here but he is still one of the best friends I have.I started making some of the stuff while some was already there. Some was passe
HannahI was worried when he ordered me to work there. I don’t know if I can do anything. I wanted to stay away from him, but because of Samantha I have to bear with him every day!I sat on one of the seats in his cabin only and started working. A laptop was already there.As I worked, I remembered the things he told me in the mail. All the duties and work. I remember them nicely but in some of them, I had to work with other employees. But he has not even made me familiar with anyone else.I sighed. I wanted to meet other people, so I left the cabin. I walked to the left along the corridor and soon I saw a girl.She was almost my age. I smiled. Maybe I can make friends.I went to her. “Hello, I am new here” I smiled at her. She looked at me, from up and down and scoffed.“Hello” she replied. “Stay away from the boss
MaxI was sitting in my company. I decided to somehow meet Samantha. Maybe we can still… uh, work out… I know it is crazy to think this because those years in high school, she stayed away from me and it was quite troubling. I tried to stay away too.This distance taught me that I have to be with her, but maybe she realised that she can live without me. I am so scared. What if she hates me?I remember the last time I talked to her. She told me that she doesn’t hate me, but she also doesn’t think that we can ever work out now.She said I did damage beyond repair.But… but there has to be a way, right? I mean, we are… were… in love. That means, we can never live without each other. True love never dies. It can’t just… end.It might be a little difficult, but it is worth the risk. I got up from my sea
Hannah“You decide to choose. Between being my girlfriend or getting bankrupt” he smirked. I got up from my seat and scoffed.“What the hell is wrong with you?” I walked up to him. “You think you can control me?”“Yes baby”I smirked. “Okay, I will never be your girlfriend and you should get that in your head” I looked towards the door. “Now open the door or I will call security”“Call security” he laughed. “To what? To arrest their boss?”“Yes maybe” I looked into his eyes, my face dead serious. “Mr. Ryan”He sighed. “Why do you like to make things difficult for yourself?”“Because you make no sense to me anymore. You may think you are some great CEO, some billionaire but mind you, I will not do what you say”
MaxI went out of my house and waved bye to Dove. I didn’t know what I was gonna say to Samantha. I haven’t prepared any speech or maybe some long essay describing what I went through without her, or about my love, but I knew I would explain myself to her.I should at least try once. Maybe she will agree.I went to my car and started driving. I know where she lives. She might be alone, after all, Hannah moved out. I don’t know how that thing got between them. They were truly inseparable.I reached her house and parked in front of her gate. I took a deep breath as I stared out of the window. The next few minutes are gonna decide my life. You know, I’ll never try twice on her. Noot because of my ego, or even self respect. It is because I don’t wanna pressurise her. If she clearly says no, I will try to let it go.I sighed and finally g
