“What?” I heard Vincent on the phone.I went towards him. “Oh… okay. I will be there soon”The call ended and she sighed.“What’s wrong?” I asked him.“Nothing…”“Tell me”“Uh, they are calling me for investigation”“What? Why?”“Well… I was the only person in the room, so I already thought about how they let me go so easily anyway”“But Vincent, I am scared for you!”“It is okay”“Uh… be careful”“Yeah. Don’t worry, you know me. I have dodged suspicions thousand times”“Yeah…” I smiled. “Good luck”He nodded and then went out.------VincentI went out and to the Police station. To be honest, I was a little worried. I knew this time, it was like… every time, I didn&rsAshley“Pack your stuff, we will leave in an hour!” I heard the call and it ended the same second. It was of course Vincent, but his voice was angrier and darker. I don’t even know why he is suddenly so angry? I mean, okay, he is a little angry but… isn’t this overreacting?I sighed on my thinking. I don’t know about him, but I am definitely overthinking. I don’t wanna go back, we just came and I planned so much. I can’t ruin it all just of one stupid mistake I made.I went out of the room to search for him. I saw him sitting on one of the sofas in the reception. I went to him.“Vincent…” I whispered. He looked at me and then near me.“Where are the suitcases?”“Uh, let’s talk this out, please come with me--”“Do you wanna create a drama over here in front of everyone for this?”I sighed. “I am sorry, okay? I don’t kn
HeatherI was in the hospital, besides Chris. Doctors say that his nerve was not okay. It was gonna take a lot of time for him to become like before.I looked at him. He was awake, but still numb by the pain I guess. He was looking at me and smiling and then closing his eyes and drifting to sleep. I stood up and walked out of the ward. I was sitting there for an hour and I needed something to distract myself. I left the hospital and sighed. The wind touched my skin and I felt better. This all is so tiring. I am completely frustrated. I don’t even know why he got himself in this mess. Why did he go there? He didn’t even tell me. I remember we were in the room and he was suddenly like, I will be back in a minute. I, um, actually didn’t care much about where he goes so I didn’t bother to go behind him, and then I heard this from the Police.I know he didn’t shoot himself, definitely that Vincent shot him. But I wonder why will he
AshleyI woke up and looked at the time. 7 AM. Correct time, because the flight is at 10.I got off the bed and went to get fresh. I don’t know what I am feeling anymore. I am kind of numb because of everything but I also know that I will be fine. I have to find Lara too, but that can be done once I get away from him and find my peace of mind.I knew I was ignoring the tears and the hurt inside me, but at least for now, I have to do this.I went to the airport at 9:45 after getting ready. I took everything and checked out and reached the place. I was early, but I had nothing to do in that hotel!I remembered Chris. I mean… not remembered but suddenly it flashed on me. Is he okay? Well… I don’t know why I am thinking about him either!I shrugged my thoughts. I should now think about myself, that is what is most important right now. It is gonna be just me and my sister.I went insid
HeatherI was with Chris and he was regaining his consciousness. Doctors said that he will be fine, but he just needs to rest for a few weeks, for his hands.I waited for him to be completely awake. He opened his eyes and looked at me. He smiled and I smiled back.“How are you?” I asked. He smiled more.“Completely fine”“That is good”“Hm. And you, baby?”“Great”“That's even good”I smiled more. He then looked around. “What time is it?”“It is night. Midnight?”“Oh, then why aren’t you asleep?”“Well, because you are awake?”“You should have slept. I would have met you tomorrow morning”“What nonsense are you saying?”He sighed. “You are so good”“You are better”“I am n
AshleyAs I realised it was Vincent, my heartbeat stopped for a moment.“Vinc-”“You are at home, right?”“Y-yes”“I am coming” the call ended.I so wanted him to stay. I so wanted to stop him from bringing any divorce papers but I… I stopped because he doesn’t… l-love me. He said it once. And one should never let a man show someone twice that he doesn’t want her.I closed my eyes as my heart got heavy. I wanted him to stay! If it was any other reason, we would have worked it out, but… he doesn’t love me!I cried. I couldn’t hold it back. I sat down on the floor as I felt weak. Oh god, I should get up and be strong. He must be coming. I don’t know if he is already in LA or still in Paris. So I have no idea how long he will take to come but he shouldn’t see me like this.He shouldn’t think that
AshleyI saw him. his one eye was badly bruised.“Vincent?” I whispered and sat down on the floor beside him while he looked away. I touched his face but he got up. “That’s none of your concern,” he replied.“I know. But still, please” I got up and went in front of him. He looked into my eyes.“Why?” he asked me.“Because I love you”“But I--”“Yeah I know you don’t love me, it’s okay” my voice cracked but I managed to say it. His eyes moistened. I was shocked. Why was he sad?“What happened?” I asked him.“Nothing” he looked away to the side.“I know I don’t mean anything to you, but please…” I looked at him. “let me treat it”“Who said you don’t mean anything to me?”I looked at him shocked. &ldquo
VincentI was scared. Maybe I was doing right or maybe I was doing wrong. Who knows? Maybe I Will lose and then I will not be able to fulfil my promise to Ashley. I will not be able to return ever then.I can’t lose this for her. I have to make this right, anyhow.I went out of her house by taking the paper. We didn’t smile at each other, we didn’t kiss, hug or speak anything. We knew only one word would break us and stop us from taking this decision.But this was the right thing and I knew I had to do it, no matter how hard it seemed right now. I knew it would bear fruits in the end.I closed the door without turning around. I can’t see her. I know the faith she has on me. That I will return and love her right. But I didn’t have any choice and even after being the biggest mafia, I guess they can still control me.But only if I am not prepared enough. I know what to do now.I
AshleyI sat down on the couch and tears rolled down. Why does this happen to true lovers? Why are there so many problems, so many troubles and obstacles?Why can’t we stay together even after we were engaged from so long and even married?I took a deep breath and calmed my nerves. I knew to get over all this, I needed to meet Lara. She will probably help me get over all this once again.I don’t know what to feel right now. Maybe I should be happy that he loves me and that he is gonna come back and love me. But I guess I would rather be sad that this all is happening to us.I decided to call Lara. I don’t know what was up, but I guess in all this, I didn’t wanna take a chance to call her and ruin things. But I guess I can call her now.I called her.“Hello?” I said.“Hey? Ashley?”“Y-yeah Lara!”“Oh my God, how are you?”
