After the surgery Monica gained consciousness three days later.
The moment she opened her eyes, Owen was there sleeping in a wooden chair.
It was the first time she saw Owen with disheveled hair with bags around his eyes.
Monica's POV
"Owen?" I called, my voice seemed weak.
Owen who was sitting beside me woke up. His eyes were full of worries.
"How are you feeling?" Owen's hands were trembling.
"I'm fine thanks to you." I replied with a smile on my face.
His sigh of relief made me giggle.
"Are you that worried?" I teased.
Even though he looked extremely tired he still managed to keep up with my silly jokes.
Everything was going well until i remembered my family.
I didn't contact them for 3 whole days!
My eyes wandered around the room, looking for my phone.
"Looking for something?" Owen glanced, with his hands barely supporting his head.
"Y-yeah, my phone.." I mumbled.
"If it's about your family, I already told them." He replied.
Told them what? TOLD THEM WHAT?!?
My eyes widened, I hope they're not worried..
"I told them your phone broke." He said, his eyes were losing focus but he kept on talking to me.
Why are you doing this?
"Thank you..I'm indebted to you." I said, pressing the button of the bed to help me sit up.
"That's what friends are for. Yeah?" He smiled.
I don't want to tire him any longer.
"Owen." I reluctantly called.
"Yes?" He replied.
"Sleep beside me." I said.
"I'm a man, Mon." He replied, but his expression says otherwise.
"Just sleep here!" I added.
Maybe his sleepless nights made him this gullible.
He slowly crawled to my bed, avoiding my stitches.
The moment his head touched the pillow he fell asleep.
Look at him sleeping like a baby..
I slowly placed my blanket to him, he doesn't snore?
I looked at him as he slept like a log.
It was tiring for him that's for sure, I feel sorry for him.
I can pay the fees of the hospital later when he wakes up.
*Ring
A familiar ringtone was ringing inside Owen's pocket.
I slowly took it and answered.
"Hello?" My tone changed as usual.
"Ms, Monica?" A man said.
"Yes speaking." I sternly replied.
He seemed reluctant at first but then offered a large amount of profit.
"We can have a meeting if you'd like." He said.
"I'll give you my schedule." I replied.
While talking i was gently rubbing Owen's head.
After my recovery 2 years passed.
I finally reached my last year of college, my wounds fully healed too!
Owen and i were not in a relationship but still remained friends.
My business is going well and my investments are growing each day.
After building a business last year, it became the center of Ten markets! As a young entrepreneur i successfully made a hefty sum of money!
The development is quite easy in this area as everything is still cheap.
I'm quite proud of my achievements, but everything's a secret to my parents until now.
My brother knew though, since he is one of those businesses i recently invested on.
I hired an assistant Ms.kim, a professional secretary.
Although I stopped training for archery, Owen continued as i supported him behind.
He became popular over time but that didn't change him.
After graduating i'll surely color my hair! That was one of my dreams before.
After eating brunch with Sevanna, Ms.Kim and I are going to a joint meeting.
Owen decided to invest on my food business.
After hours of preparation we went to his family hotel where the meeting will be held.
Owen offered his hand as we went inside.
"Woah look at those two!"
"Stunning!"
The people praised.
"A beautiful couple!"
"Look at the lady beside him, a curvy body like that would be a dream to me!" A girl giggled with her friends.
I didn't pay mind to it.
I'm still exercising until now but with limitations.
Owen joins me sometimes.
After our meeting we signed the contract, Owen seemed pleased of our deal.
After my recovery last year, he admitted that he was an owner of a trading company.
Not just any trading company, but the top 1 ranking trading company around the world. Not only that, he also owned various kinds of businesses that are producing money like water.
At first i was surprised, but when he offered to give me money i refused.
But a deal was made that day, and finally to present. The deal is finally in effect.
He'll invest in my business if i manage to create more than 5 digits a month.
Of course he played a huge role in helping me with the basics, but money was never involved.
If this continues, I can expand my businesses and place it on my home country.
...
The next day another sports festival was held.
I wasn't able to attend before because of my condition, but now that i'm fully healed i can do sports again.
"Monica!" Sevanna waved in a distance.
Lukas, my ex crush was also there.
It seems that Lukas and Susan broke up last year.
They both approached me with smiles in their face.
"What is it?" I replied.
"Mind joining our group?" Lukas nervously asked, Sevanna was also nodding behind him.
"Uhhh...sure?" I replied, when a smile escaped their faces.
Lukas decided to change majors after breaking up with Susan. That's why were all classmates now. Isn't it ironic?
Did he have a change of heart or something?
After practicing our designated places in each activity, we changed our clothes.
My locker was close to the very end of the room.
I took off my clothes full of sweat.
But then noticed this girl staring at my belly.
"What a waste.." She mumbled.
"Nasty scar you got there." She chuckled.
Is this another bullying perhaps?
Oh i remember her, she's Susan's friend.
"It's cool." I replied shortly.
She continued to blabber about Susan and Lukas.
So what? I don't like Lukas anymore, and Susan seems chill.
She noticed i wasn't listening to her so she pinched my scar.
"Ow!" I reacted.
What the hell's her problem?!
"Stop that!" I slapped her hand off.
"Jeez now your making me a villain." She sneered.
Wow a total bitch..
She left me utterly speechless, continuing to ignore her would not be the safest option.
Instead, I pushed her back.
"The hell?!" She screamed, her voice echoed around the room. Making everyone's attention focus to us.
"Just because you lost some fucking weight doesn't mean your hot shit!" She screamed, pointing fingers at me.
"Mind your own business, your mouth stinks as is." I replied.
"You- !" Her eyes we're fuming with anger as she bit her lip.
The rest of the girls stopped her from causing anymore trouble.
"Your fucking dead." She mouthed.
"I'll be waiting, ugly bitch." I replied with a gentle smile on my face.
Oh she snapped.
