Ever hit rock bottom? Well my answer would be yes. Maybe I had seen this coming but I hadn't predicted that it would be this bad. That it would hurt so much.I lost her and there was no way of going back. Forget about even asking for forgiveness, she would never forgive me not after I had blurted out that in one way or another I killed her uncle.Accepting reality, I had watched her walk away from me after she had declared she would send me to prison. Ofcourse she didn't mean it, she was just upset and I understood that.Once I left Gregory's compound, I decided to take a quick turn to a bar nearby. My face was sore, my heart felt weird in a not so good way and my shirt was covered in blood.Once I parked my car just outside the bar throwing my car keys to the shocked skinny valet, I walked in the bar ignoring the glances everyone threw at me. I get it. I was a mess. No one would recognize as the famous accomplished Niklaus Rogers.I hit some few shots before I decided to go to Blaze'

The investors had been on my neck all week. It was my father's dream that Rogers Co, expands to more countries other than the United States.I was seeing through that his dream came true. And in order to accomplish those dreams I had to reason with the investors, telling them that my idea would go on with or without them. I had enough money to cover my own expenses, to start another branch first in the Philippines before I expanded to countries like Russia, Germany, Singapore and so many others.Their main concern was where I would get the funds and if I was managing the funds accurately. Truth be told I had never been so sure in my life of the idea. My idea had some bit of traction, five to six years from now our company would be soaring through great heights.I had been to the Philippines, actually lived there for two years and in all those years I had made friends from Pasig city, San Juan, Pasay, Makati and Quezon city all from Metro Manila. Friends who were great architects and

"Get down on all fours. Extend your left leg behind you and flex your foot, bending it forward. Then extend your right arm in front of you with your thumb facing upward"My nurse, Ava, said. I did as she instructed but there was no point in this since I could feel my whole body back to it's shape.Some things weren't working like they used, hell I didn't look like the same Niklaus from two years ago but it was a working progress. The scar running down from my left cheek was barely visible, that is, if you didn't look too closely.The wounds on my back were had healed and left nasty scars. Perhaps it was better that way. The scars reminded me that after everything that happened, I was a survivor.I managed to break all barriers that weighed me down, all barriers that wanted me to give up on life and just die."You must have a clear mind",Ava said turning to me while she heaved."It's hard to have a clear mind when my leg is hanging in the air", I grunted chuckling.My physiotherapist,

'There's three ways to go about it. You could either, choose to seek damages against the party that breached the contract. That is suing for damages like money spent on her keeping and all that's'Or you could either offer the person who breached the contract the choice of performing a certain activity related to the contract''Or you yourself could ask the court to have the contract cancelled. Once it's cancelled it removes all parties of responsibilities and liabilities related to the contract'**Attorney Diaz had informed me of that the day I decided to come up with such a thing as suing Isabella Montgomery.Whether she liked it or not, we were going to see each other after all these years. I knew the contract she signed years prior of being my girlfriend would come in handy one day.I memorized what Attorney Diaz said by heart knowing that Isabella's lawyer must have informed her of the same. The lawsuit I had filed against her was a precautionary measure to make sure she didn't

I cringed feeling her tear up on my chest. I knew she would be stubborn but I hadn't expected her to cry. I expected her to hit me, to hurt me but not to cry.Though she did hurt me, I could feel the metallic taste of fresh blood on my mouth and my cheek was numb.She was really strong than she imagined.I run my fingers in her hair, feeling it's silkiness. She sniffled only to step away from me as if my touch was burning her."No",she wiped the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand,"this isn't right"It's right, baby. Everything between us feels right. I haven't felt this way since you left.I wanted to tell her, to scoop her in my arms and tell her everything on my mind.Her eyes rose to meet mine and for a brief moment, I saw her gasp lightly."I did that?"She pointed to my face only then did I remember the little cut on my lip."It's not your fault. Don't mind it, I sort of deserved it", I chuckled trying to make her feel less guilty."Am not a monster like you, Niklaus.
