Thomas:I paced around my apartment as Kiara’s words played in my mind. The fact that I had hurt her enough to have such an outburst broke me a lot more than I could think of admitting. The way she looked at me, the way her eyes met mine as if she felt like everything she’s dreamed about was broken by me. It hurt me a lot that I was the reason of her feeling this much pain. Even more knowing that I had done it purposely. Having kissed her didn’t make things any better either. Especially since this was technically our first kiss.Running my fingers through my hair, I dialed her number to try and call her. However, I was instantly directed to voicemail. She got in the bus almost an hour ago, she should’ve reached her house by now, the time of night is what worried me about her getting on the bus. She would have reached her house a while past midnight, and I didn’t even know where she lived as to know whether or not it was secure, and there w

Thomas:“What is this place?” Kiara asked and I smiled opening the door for her. I had rented a small place at one of the gardens for the two of us to have lunch together in private, knowing that mum had done her best to separate us the first time she found out about us being together. I didn’t want her finding out about it just yet. Not at least until Kiara trusted being seen with me again and trusted me to begin with.“Well, knowing you, you’re still angry with me. You know about mum being the reason the two of us couldn’t be together, not to mention that you’re angry with me not fighting for you. Therefore, anything I’ll be doing now would be to make it up to you” I said not answering her question just yet.“You doing this won’t change anything, Thomas. You not fighting for me against your mum is something. However. That’s not what is upsetting me” Kiara said looking at me. I frowne

Thomas: “Mr. Thomas, the investors have arrived” Briana said entering the office. I nodded at her and the two of us walked out of the office and toward the meeting room, I smiled when I saw Kiara preparing coffee mugs for the men. The water bottles were already on the table when I arrived. I was aware of that, but to be sure that the coffees were hot, Kiara preferred making just before the meeting started. Walking inside the meeting room, I sat on my chair at the head of the table just as Kiara walked inside carrying two trays each with one hand. Briana taking one from her, each of them started serving the men who were smiling at them, one of the men winked at Kiara but I saw her pay no attention to him as she reached me. Putting my mug on the table, she smiled and walked out of the meeting room. I was aware that her shift was almost over and I was thankful for that, Briana noticing my uncomfortable expression frowned in confusion but I shook my head at her to stay q

Thomas:I paced around my room not sure what to do.I couldn’t believe that dad actually kicked me out of the company because of what Nathan told him. His words against mine made me look small in front of dad, and seeing that dad actually trusted him and ignored me, ignored everything I tried telling him, hurt me more than I could think of mentioning or describing. Kiara called me again. The girl was probably going mad at my sudden disappearance, especially since she’s been trying to reach me since last night.I didn’t answer her though. I still needed time to process what had happened, the fact that dad was at work instead of me probably shook her up. Seeing that I wasn’t answering her calls made her worry more than she would dare let out at work. But I knew that she wouldn’t be at peace until she at least heard something from me.Therefore, taking out my phone, I texted her.“I’m fine, love. Just

Thomas:I listened to Kiara as she spoke to Daniel. Her voice so gentle that I knew that even a crying baby would’ve calmed down. I smiled when I entered the room and couldn’t help but kiss the crown of her head making Daniel raise an eyebrow but not comment on the subject.“Do you want me to call mum and dad or?” I asked Daniel who shook his head. I knew after hearing his conversation with Kiara that he was very upset with both of them. But that didn’t mean that he was allowed to neglect the fact that they were his parents, or the fact that they would be worried about him. My problems with mum and dad were mine, whether it was mum not wanting me to be with Kiara or dad doing what he did to me. Yes, I will admit that he insulted my every spec of my dignity yesterday. But I didn’t want Dani being affected by it.“You would leave if they show up, and I don’t feel like listening to the argue about me getting sick&rdqu
