All Chapters of Screaming Hearts: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Thankfully, I didn’t hear any complaint from Brent when I told him that I will be meeting my two friends. He smiled and said he will drive me to our meeting place. He informed me that he’ll be out to meet Simon too. "Here," he extended his arm and I saw a gold card. "What's this?" I furrowed my brows. "Use this to pay for your stuff," he replied. "Nah, no need," I refused and he frowned.  "What's wrong?" I asked in confusion. "Accept this card," he insisted. I reached for it because I know I'm running late. A smile flashed on his face right away like I did the right thing. I didn't want to argue with him anymore because we've already wasted a lot of time. “Kelsie, why are you late?" Hailey acted angrily. "Do you know that I already drunk a jar of coffee by just waiting for you?” she nagged. I smiled apologetically at her and motioned a peace sign but she eyed me sharply. “Stop with the drama!” Aira pulled her hair. “You could say that because I k

"What is your connection to Brent?" I blurted out of curiosity. I was really bothered that it was so easy for her to defy Brent in their past encounter. "He's friends with my brother," she revealed. “So you already knew Brent since then?" I questioned confusedly. "Yeah," she beamed and motioned a peace sign at us. "You giggled to meet the new owner of the restaurant that time?" Aira creased her brows. Hailey explained that she really had no idea that it was Brent who acquired the restaurant. She was surprised too but she managed to act like she didn't know him because she didn't want us to notice it. "Hailey, you know about my revenge on Brent right?" I sounded reluctant. "What about your revenge?" she arched her brows. I told her that I'm bothered to know that she knows Brent from the start yet she supported my decision. She explained to me that Brent is her brother's friend and I am her friend so definitely she will side with me. "Besides your plan for reve

"Kelsie, stand up!" Natalia was thrilled but I felt the opposite. I slowly sat up and my gaze landed on Olivia behind Natalia's group of tables. The bitch face was indescribable and like something bitter was poured into her.  When I was able to stand on my two quivering legs, I inhaled a deep breath. All eyes were on me and I felt pressured to the core. I did a few steps but it was hard for me to go on. I'm not used to the kind of introduction and to face a lot of prominent and business people is no joke at all. "Kelsie, calm down," Natalia held my hand and pressed it gently. "C'mon I'll send you to the podium," her thoughtfulness eased a bit of my emotion. We walked slowly and as soon as we reached the stairs up to the platform, Brent met me and stretched his hand for me to accept.  "I'm sorry, baby. I know I surprised you," he apologized sweetly. He mentioned being surprised but for me, I wasn't. Truth be told, I'm shocked and totally panicked. My

I decided not to pursue my law school because I knew that my coming days will be occupied. Natalia kept on pestering me about the preparation of the wedding and I appreciate all her ideas. I could tell that she's more excited than us and I understood that as a mother, every step in his only son's life is worthy of celebration. "I like this design," I let Hailey do the wardrobe preparations. She's best in fashion and it's her cup of tea. She felt flattered when I told her that I will trust all the clothing in her hands."What wedding motif do you want?" Aira asked in good spirits while checking all the dresses that are hung in a rack at one of the best couturiers in town. Brent did not accompany us because I insisted it will be all girls bonding time. His suit could be measured anytime as soon as Hailey and I could choose the materials, design, and other things needed for the preparation of wardrobes."I like this vintage sunset orange. What do you think?"

I felt I was crushed into million pieces on the outcome of my actions. It was really true that regret comes at every end of our wrong decisions in life. But my intentions had a basis until I learned the truth of what really happened to my father. I knew that I humiliated Brent in front of his family and closest friends and I don't deserve their forgiveness. I'm so sorry," I told them repeatedly how much I remorse my evil plan of revenge. Natalia somehow understood my actions though I knew that she's a little disappointed that Brent was hurting. Only if I knew sooner about the truth, I might not be psychologically persecuted by my father. She knew that I was really bothered between my love for my father and my love for Brent. What concerned me the most was if Brent would believe me that I really love him despite that revenge I plotted on him. "Prove to him that you really love him," Natalia convinced me carefully for us to settle our issues. I felt grateful
