Three days later After the incident at the hospital, Ren has been keeping a long distance from Tracy, not because he doesn't want to see her again, but because he just wants her to be fine. After a long day at work, he drives to the hospital and asks about her from the doctor. This is what he has been doing after what happened. He would go to the hospital before he goes to work in the morning and after he leaves his office, to check on her secretly. He really loves her, but too bad that he can't stop being a bad person. "She will be discharged, hopefully, tomorrow," The doctor says to him before he finally leaves the hospital. Being by her side and accompanying her home later is what he would've loved so much to do, but he knows that he needs to stay away from her so she will have enough time to come around. Driving down the road, his mind keeps drifting away with many questions flooding his mind. 'He kept cheating on me' her painful voice replays in his head, and he sighs for th

Chapter 13The next day His head bangs as he opens his eyes to see the white blurry ceiling. He groans tiredly and closes them back. "You're finally awake," Leo's voice disrupts him, and he finally forces his eyes open to find himself in a familiar room, but it has been long since he was last in this room. "Are you sober now, or do you need me to pour cold water on your head?" Leo asks sarcastically, causing him to tilt his head to look at him lazily."How did I end up here?" Ren asks lazily as he touches his forehead and yawns tiredly. He finally recognizes the room to be Leo's. "How will you know how you ended up here when you kept messing around at the club yesterday? I warned you to stop drinking, but you didn't listen," Leo shakes his head in dissatisfaction. "I'm sorry if I caused any trouble for you yesterday...""I think you should save that for your mom and Tracy," Leo snaps at him and stands up to his feet. "What do you mean?" He pulls a puzzled look as he finally sits

Chapter 15 Waking up the next morning and finding himself on his bed, he manages to sit up on the bed as he wonders how he ended up at home. The last thing he could remember was driving to the bar, and drinking himself to a stupor, the rest of it was story. He didn't recall what happened after then. Running his fingers through his hair, he sighs briefly and lay back on the bed, trying to clear his eyes that are feeling dizzy. 'Tracy' the name rings in his head, and he bites his bottom lip, trying to pretend to be fine, because what's the point of being sad, knowing that nothing is ever going to change? The door suddenly opens, and he raises his gaze to see Lilian. His countenance changes into a deep frown as soon as she walks in. "What are you doing here?" He asks, throwing his gaze away. She's the reason why Tracy finally broke up with him. Maybe this would've been avoided if she had not shown up at the club, but what makes him so happy is that someone stopped him from doing

Ren's officeSitting behind his desk in the spacious office, Ren's attention is all on the computer as he types his time away. The sound of the office telephone ringing pulls his attention from his work, and he picks up the phone without looking away from the screen of the computer. "Ren Bradford on the line. Who am I speaking with, please," He says on the phone as soon as he answers the call. "Hello, Mr. Ren. This is Mr. Mike from Bridges. Do you mind having dinner with me tonight? I would like to talk about the contract with you," the masculine voice sounds through the phone, and he sighs briefly. This is supposed to be a thing of joy for him since he has been wanting this contract for so long, but he's not in the mood for that. He just wants to be left alone, get distracted, and stop himself from thinking about Tracy that's likely to have moved on with her life now. "I'm not free, Mr. Mike. Can we make it some other time?" He sighs briefly, reclining on the chair, and rubbing h

Ren's mansion She tosses on the bed and sits up afterward. Checking the message for the umpteenth time, she can only wonder how true this is. This was the same company she went to before, and she was rejected. Not that she wasn't qualified, but that stupid Ren practically rejected her because she is chubby. That's the craziest shit she'd ever experienced in her life, and until now, she still hasn't been able to get over it. 'Does Ren knows about this?' That is the question that keeps ringing in her head as she tosses the phone on the bed. She can't help but anticipate his return tonight. Maybe he would talk about it with her later when he returns home, but on second thought, she feels like it may not be possible. This person rarely talks to her, so how on earth will he talk to her later? Her stomach suddenly grumbles, and she sits up on the bed, realizing that she hasn't had anything to eat all day. Now, she would have to go to the kitchen, and maybe she may get bullied by those ma
