Giselle's POV.I lay on the bed tiredly. I didn't even bother eating dinner. I was trying my best to avoid my mother-in-law so badly.“Knock knock” I heard on the door. “Come in,” I said. I sat down. “Madam,” Susan came in. “Susie, why are you here?” I asked. “You haven't been doing well lately, I am just worried,” she said worriedly. “Oh… thank you,” I said. “Is everything okay?” She asked. She was fully aware of how my marriage had been crumbling.“You will be fine,” she hugged me when she noticed how broken I was. I was more down thinking about Bryan than my marriage.“Thank you, your hug helped,” I smiled. “You are welcome, you should eat,” she said. “I am not hungry,” I said. “Really?” She asked and I nodded at her.“You should go to bed early then,” she said. I nodded and she left the room.I sighed, feeling a little bit better.I couldn't sleep and felt so bad for Bryan. I couldn't help but think about him every second. It was crazy how my feelings for him kept growing.“Gise
Kevin's POVI got home late and stressed. I pity Audrey for doing such a job with her little body at a young age. I couldn't feel my feet from the constant walk, and standing at the counter. I didn't bother disturbing her sleep. I went into her room quietly and covered her with a blanket properly.I stared at her sleeping face, and my heart fluttered. I was amazed by the reaction and left the room hurriedly.It was morning and I woke up early to make breakfast for her.I went into her room to serve her meal, because I didn't want her to move her weak body around.“Knock knock”. “Come in,” I heard. I went inside and I was surprised to see her dressed up.“Audrey,” I called. “Huh?” She turned around. “Come here,” I took her hand and sat on her bed. “Where are you dressed for?” I asked.“For school,” she replied. “You don't have to,” I said. “What? Why?” She asked.“You can skip school today, I will help you keep my notes,” I said. “No, it's the test week,” she said. “Oh yeah, I can m
Bryan's POV.The morning sun seeped into my bedroom. I grunted lazily and didn't want to get up from bed. I tried to open my eyes, but I felt a banging headache. And that made me feel weak. I was suffering from a hangover from the alcohol I drank last night. “Ahhh!” I winced in pain. I reached out to my phone and noticed Giselle's number on my call history. “Did I call her?” I asked myself.I didn't remember calling her, I tried to remember, but it kept giving me a headache. I shrugged it off, knowing I could call her when I was drunk. I know I could act like that when I get drunk.I got out of bed and went to my kitchen to drink water. I went to my kitchen and drank some water. I sat down and massaged my head a little.My hangover was really bad.I checked the time and noticed I was late for school already. I didn't rush myself, or panic. I went back to my bedroom to rest a little. I stood up, went to the bathroom, and started preparing for school. I got dressed and I wasn't looki
Giselle's POV.I finished packing my materials and prepared to leave the lecture hall, but Bryan approached me. He offered to help me, but I refused. I didn’t want any misunderstanding to happen between us.I went to my office to mark the test booklets.I marked all the test sheets and Bryan's paper was the last, I wanted to mark it, but then I noticed he submitted a blank sheet.I was shocked to see that and thought he was trying to rebel, but it was the main test for the whole semester.I recorded the other's test scores and his as well. I went to the school management to report the test results.“Good afternoon,” I greeted the other lecturers there.“Afternoon Mrs Albert,” A lady lecturer said. “You take the engineering department also, I mean all the classes, right?” She asked.“Yes, I do,” I replied. “Then do you notice Bryan scores? He barely writes anything in my course, his scores are very low this year,” she said.I was shocked to hear that from another lecturer. I thought I
Giselle's POV.A week later.I got to the school and went straight to my office. I've been feeling disturbed since I marked Bryan's test sheets. He didn't do well with all his courses and every lecturer complained they wanted to call him for some questioning, but he didn't show up in school. It was unusual of him, it had been a week since he attended any classes. I hope to see him in class.I walked into his lecture hall to give lectures. I checked the crowd, but I couldn't find him. ‘Did he skip my class?’ I mulled in my head. *********The class ended, and the students dismissed, but I stopped the one that I always see with Bryan.“Good afternoon ma'am,” he greeted. “Good afternoon,” I replied.“You are friends with Bryan, right?” I asked. “Yes ma'am,” he nodded at me.“Why is he skipping school? Is something wrong with him?” I asked. “He is sick, that's why,” he scratched his head. “What! since when?” I panicked, but I tried to maintain my composure.“About a week now, I think
Bryan's POV.Seeing Giselle in my house was like a dream come true. I was so happy when I caught a glimpse of her…I couldn't contain my joy. I sat close to her and the space left between us would not fit a day-old baby.I didn't know this was going to work!A week before, “Hey buddy,” Kevin came in with Sebastian. I grabbed two glasses so they could join me.“You are drinking again?” Kevin sighed. “The season needs it,” “Let me pour you a glass,” I said. I noticed Seb didn't talk since he entered.“Take yours,” I motioned to Seb. He collected it without question…“Do you like him that much?” Kevin asked out of the blue. I was sure I didn't tell him about Giselle.I turned to Seb and he looked away which made me realize that he was the one who told him about Giselle.“I love her, and if you are here to tell me to do otherwise you can use the door,” I blurted. Kevin smiled faintly, but it didn't last on his face. “Chase her properly,” he uttered. I was puzzled hearing that. How? H
Giselle's POV.I was so embarrassed about what I did at Bryan's apartment, but I loved it, and still want my body to want more.I shrugged off the thought and concentrated on driving.My cheeks were still red when I got home, ‘why am I blushing?’ I looked in the mirror.I slept peacefully that night, and that was one of the most wonderful nights I had in that mansion.Two weeks later,Bryan and I are on talking terms again. I still treat him like my student, and I guess he was adjusting to the fact that we can't be together. He still did things that were out of line, but I always made sure he didn't cross the boundaries.I walked towards my office, but I stopped when I saw Bryan. “What's he doing here,” I muttered. “Bry__” I wanted to call him, but I paused when I saw the girl beside him. “Why is that girl always around him?” I squeezed my face, looking at him from afar. I didn't know, but I hated the sight of those two together.“Mrs Albert!” He called when he saw me. I eyed him a
Bryan's POV.Ivy has been useful for me. Since I didn't want to be clingy like Kevin said, so I decided to use Ivy to get under Giselle's skin and it was working.I love the way she gets jealous and I had hoped that she would come around. She acted so cute whenever she saw Ivy around me. ********************“Are you home?” I heard her shaky voice, and I guessed she was in the car due to the street sound.“Yes,” I replied, and she ended the call. “Why is she crying inside the car? Why did she ask me that?” I was confused.I called her number again, but she didn't pick up. I waited in my living room for a while. I got worried when I didn't see her and went to my bedroom to pick up my car key. I got to my parking lot and drove out, but I stopped when I saw a familiar figure near my apartment. “Giselle,” I muttered. I stopped my car immediately. I motioned towards her.“Are you okay?” I asked which it was obvious that she wasn't. “Bryan,” she burst into tears. “Let's go inside,” I
