VINCENT
"She left" The words keep ringing in my head till we get home, I don't think I can feel my heart anymore. She really left.
"Vincent" I heard Ma'am Gina called but I'm very far from here.
"Boss, Calm down, just take a deep breath" Ben instructed as he helped me to the couch but I wasn't hearing anything.
I'm not going to feel her touch anymore. She really did leave. I just want to end my life, my head bangs really hard that I placed my hand on my head. I'm really going crazy.
"What happened Ben?" Ma'am Gina's worried voice spoke up and I heard Ben sighed "Miss Skylar left" Ma'am Gina exclamation followed.
"She left? Oh poor her! This is not going well, what should we do? What if he hurt himself? " She said worriedly, then my head snapped to the paper. What could the paper be about ?
"Ben, the wrapped paper? " I asked him and he muttered "oh" Looks like he forgot it already.
"Can you read it out? What does she say?" I told him and at first there was silence, could it be something bad? Yeah, I'm sure it will be something bad since she left already.
"Well, She wrote here saying " How much she loves you" He started and my heart cringed, then she shouldn't have left me, she pushed me away. She is adding more to my pain here.
"And.. " He stopped at first and that is when I looked at his direction "and what?"
"She said she will be waiting for you, that is all" For the first time since everything has been happening, my heart jumped in joy.
I stood up slowly "she said she will be waiting for me?? She really said that? That means she… . She didn't give up on me, Ben, she still wants me" I rasped, unable to control the joy that ran through my body.
"Yes, she didn't give up on you Son, she is still waiting for you" this time around Ma'am Gina spoke up and tears started forming in my eyes at the same time I couldn't help but smile.
She didn't leave me like Nina did. She said she will wait for me. I knew it, she is the one "She is my light"
"So what do you want to do about the Wedding? " The smile on my face disappeared immediately he mentioned that but knowing she is waiting for me, I'm ready to fight for our love too, I will do anything.
"We will proceed with the wedding" I said, "Vincent? " Ma'am Gina called in surprise and I nod.
"Everyone is aware of the wedding, so they should be aware when I cut off the wedding too, I know they won't agree easily and the paparazzi will wanna affect us, that is why I need to come up with something" Something that will be against Mrs. Smith and her bitchy daughter.
EVELYN
I piled up the file after calculating the money spent on the new project. I missed Skylar and Mr Vincent, the company has been so boring since they weren't around, Mr Ben too barely comes to the office but then John is sometimes here to help them out.
I wish he always comes here everyday so I will be able to keep seeing his face everyday, that guy is just too perfect, good-looking and… . . .
The buzz of my phone distracted me from the thought. My cheeks hit up on seeing the caller, John.
"Hi," I said, blushing already because of his sweet voice.
"No, no, I don't have any plan" I told him immediately and he chuckled.
"Okay, bye." With that he hung up, He wanted me to go on a date with him after work. Of course, I don't have any plans. I can't believe he had an eye on me also. It was that night….
***{flashbacks}****
Walking out of the office tiredly, It was all because Mr Vincent and Skykar weren't at the office, so my work piled up, I had to work my ass late.
It is already past 9pm. Getting to the car park, I hopped into my car but something got wrong, the engine wasn't working, I almost cried because how will I get home and it's damn late already.
I tried several times trying to ignite the engine but it wasn't starting at all.
Stomping out of the car, I opened the car bonnet, I don't even know what to touch, I don't know what to do. Taking a cab might be kinda stressful. I brought out my phone to make a call but a Car's light shone on my face that I had to cover my face with.
Damn! Who could be here at this late?
I was surprised to see Mr Ben and John, my new crush. Damn! He even looks so cute at night.
They were both surprised to see me, what are they doing here this late?
"Miss Evelyn, are you still here? " Mr Ben asked and I nodded.
"Yes sir, my car got faulty" I mumbled while John's eyes ran into mine, making my heart thump up. Damn! How could he be so cute?
"We can drop you off, if you don't mind. Ben will just pick something from the office now" This time, it was him that spoke up. He wants to drop me off, I turn to Mr Ben if I can, though I really wanted to and he nods.
"Yeah, I will just pick up some files" Mr Ben said and walk into the company leaving me with him John at the Garage car pack
I fiddled with my fingers avoiding his look but I was surprised when he moved closer.
"Miss Evelyn we didn't bump into each other today" He spoke up and I looked at him with a chuckle. Fuck me! He remembered my name.
"You are a pretty angel" My cheeks flushed and my eyes itched me, Wait, he just called me…
"You called me Pretty Angel" I scoffed and he shrugged with his beautiful smile.
"That is because you are beautiful" He said staring into my soul and that is how it started.
****FLORIDA****
ANNIE.
I dragged my small bag following Skylar to wherever she was going. Looking around the small neighborhood, I suddenly stopped walking. I never want to come here. I hate it here. She noticed I stopped walking then she turned back.
"Why do you stop? " She questioned and I scoffed. Really? Why did I stop?
"Sister, don't you think you are being selfish right now!" I speak out aloud, she furrows moving closer to me.
"Yes, you are being selfish right, you are thinking about yourself, Did you even think about my life there? My school, my friends, everything was there but you are only thinking of how to get better!" I shouted but a slap landed on my cheeks instead.
Shit!
"You are stupid, I'm selfish? I'm thinking about myself? Really? Because of who did I do that? Tell me, I let go of who I love because of you, because I don't fucking want you to get hurt of me, so now I'm thinking about myself! Suit yourself then, if you are not coming with me, stay here then" She yelled at me before walking into a small apartment in front of us.
I stood there balefully hating myself that I said she is selfish. I'm not happy about this whole thing. What about Jeremy? What about my friends? I palmed my face crying out the tears that had threatened to fall.
*******
I dragged my bag inside, She is busy arranging the place. I look around the small apartment that we will be staying in now. How are we going to even survive now? She turned to me without giving me any look, she was about to pass me but I hugged her from the back.
"I'm sorry for saying that Sister, I'm sorry, I'm just not happy, I will miss Anita, What if our Uncle finds us here." I cried out hugging her tightly.
"I know you are doing this because of me, I'm sorry and stupid for thinking you are selfish, you never were '' I apologized but was also surprised to hear her sniffle and return the hug.
"I'm not happy doing this too Annie, I never wanted to leave, I love Vincent so much but those people against him have power and can do anything to us ,I don't want you to get hurt, that is why I had to do this, I'm doing this to protect you, we are still safe here, and our uncle we not be able to find out, he doesn't even know we are still alive, we will be fine" We both cried hugging each other.
"I'm sorry" I mumbled, she pulled away wiping my tears.
"I promise to take care of you here, I couldn't afford any other place but here. I promise you a better life, I will work hard baby" She assured and pulled me into a tight hug. God, this is not going to be easy for us.
STELLA.
I smile brightly checking out my wedding dress.
"You are lucky ma'am" One of the lady at the reception speak up, of course I am
I'm getting married to the youngest billionaire of mexico. He might be blind but that is none of my concerns, after i marry him, me and mom will have everything to ourselves
"Can I try this on?" I asked and she nodded.
"Sure, come with me ma" I followed her to the dressing room.
Few hours, I'm done with the dress and trust me it looks dope on me.I walked elegantly checking myself out.
"You can take a photograph ma'am" The lady said and a photographer walked up to me. My dream is finally coming true. In less than two weeks, I'm getting married to him. I will become Mrs Lennon.
