Ivan||Tania always looked so gloomy, like an approaching storm but today, I could almost see the cackles of lightning around her.The newspaper article from yesterday had really messed with her feelings and I was the one on the receiving end of it.She had not replied to my greetings this morning even though I could tell she had been awake by the rise and fall of her blanket as she breathed.And when it was time for me to leave for work, she had only left me a grunt as a reply to my goodbye without even casting me a glance. It was as if I was an annoying bug she wished she could swat away.I hated seeing her this way not because it made her grumpy and ignore me but because her hurt was my hurt...As crazy as that seemed.It was strange and difficult to admit but for the first time in my life, I was concerned about the feelings of a woman. All my life, women have been more like playthings to me. Fancy little toys I got bored of and discarded, moving onto another.Yet with Tania it wa

Tania||I stayed awake throughout the whole night. I was too excited to sleep.The thought of getting an inch closer to my revenge did not let me sleep. Everything was set. I had spoken to Marcus earlier though this time I did not have to steal Ivan's phone since he had gotten me one.At five am, I got up from the bed and went to take a shower.When I was done, I took a long time in front of the mirror ensuring that I had gotten everything right.Ivan stirred behind me around six a.m."Good morning." I greeted him cheerfully.He paused , looking at me as if I had lost my mind before replying to me. I gave him no mind and focused on what I was doing.I drew my hair back into a sleek low ponytail. I knew how much Nicholas loved seeing women with ponytails, but I had to take it down as I noticed a few scars which had not totally disappeared around my temples.I let my hair flow from the center part in its natural soft waves before applying a thin coat of powder to my face.I followed t

Tania||Everything else they said after then was a blur. It was as if a part of me was levitating outside of my body.Eloise was crazy?!I couldn't wrap my head around the thought.What had that bastard done to my little girl?I was consumed with the need to wrap my arms around her and protect her from that monster."Miss Simmons?" I heard my name echoing in the background.—It took a lot for me to be able to bring myself back to the present."Miss Simmons, if you do not answer this question, you're going to be disqualified. We do not tolerate such behaviours in this company. You can go and wallow in your self-pity and daydream elsewhere but not here." The woman who had broken the news on Eloise's mental health chastised me.I cleared my throat. "I'm sorry. I totally zoned out for a minute there," I said as I nervously smoothed out invisible creases on my skirt."You might as well go home then. We can't hire someone who would zone out on the job." The woman spoke sarcastically. "I'm

Ivan||"The lady you did the rhinoplasty on has been complaining of headaches for an hour now. You might want to come check on her." I lifted my head from my notes to the sound of a woman's voice and saw one of the nurses standing in front of the door.It took a few seconds for me to push off every other thought and let the information she had just given me gain meaning in my head."That's okay Karen. I will check her in a minute.""Um... Sir? I don't mean to pry but are you okay?" She spoke again.I sighed out of frustration; "Why do you ask?""Well, you have been moody throughout today and you seem so far off that's all." She replied."I am fine Karen. Thank you for asking." I hoped to have her out of my hair and thankfully, it worked."You're welcome," she said before shutting the door and giving me the silence I craved.I had indeed not been myself today. I had been uneasy throughout, trying so hard not to think about Tania.Even though I had been focused at work, the thought of

Ivan||We spent nearly three hours at the restaurant. She had insisted I finish my plate and I had to plead with her to let me order something else.It had taken a lot of plea, but she finally let me and we ended up sharing my food together.The ride back home had not been sully as it usually was. In fact, Tania and I chatted all the way home. Well, I chatted while Tania could not stop giggling intermittently about how I had embarrassed myself earlier with the spicy noodles and the look on my face as I chickened out of finishing it.I had hoped that the day would go that way but as the saying goes, every good thing must come to an end and the end for mine had come."I am so exhausted from today. I need some rest." Tania announced as we walked into our room."That's fine. I will leave you to it. I have some errands to run anyways so I will go ahead and get them done." I lied with ease trying to hide the disappointment in my voice. I didn't know why I lied. I had no reason to but I di
