Sebastian's POV.After I left the school, I went to the apartment Bryan gave me, it was one of the most expensive apartments nearby, even after I persuaded him to let me pay for rent because I did not want to be a burden to him, not when we just became friends, and he agreed, but he told me that the rent money will be used to stack my refrigerator, and I knew that was another way of him rejecting it. He was so stubborn that I couldn't reject it anymore, I was able to sleep in a room with a good condition thanks to him, that was when I knew the meaning of a home, I woke up with a smile on my face even though I was feeling a lot if pain, I still had a lot of energy. I had spent all my life sleeping at a bar after work since I was fifteen, despite my age I begged my boss to let me work there and none of the workers knew that I slept at the bar until I got caught at eighteen and that almost got me fired, but my boss was considerate enough to let me stay after the situation.I worked hard
Sebastian’s POV.Claire went to a table and sat down. She kept looking around impatiently, and I mustered up some courage to go to the table before she got frustrated, because she wasn't looking well and it felt like she had no choice but to show up.“Good evening,” I said, and she didn't answer, she looked at me like someone who has lost their way. “Hi,” I said, and she hissed in frustration. “I'm waiting for someone,” she said.“Oh okay, so can I keep you company till that person arrives?” I asked, but she did not reply, so I took her silence as a ‘Yes’.I sat down looking at her in the eyes, and she frowned, forming a line on her forehead, then I smiled. “What would you like to have?” I asked her, and she rolled her eyeballs.“Something strong,” she said, and I nodded at her. I knew what she was up to, she wanted to clear her thoughts with alcohol.“Okay then,” I said. I raised my hands and called the bartender ‘James’ . I ordered some beers for the two of us.I cleared my throat,
Bryan's POV.I got out of the bathroom with a white towel on my waist. I went to my closet and picked a comfy outfit. I went to my bedroom to get some rest, but I couldn't get what happened earlier out of my mind.Fifty-five minutes earlier, “Drive safe,” I said cheerfully, knowing that my ideal lightened up her mood, I was happy that it slipped out of my mouth. But she turned around all of a sudden and walked towards me.“Let me drop you home,”she said, and I widened my eyes in surprise. “You want to drop me home?” I asked, trying to confirm the words and she nodded at me. “You don't have a cab voucher either,” she said, and I remembered the day she wanted to pay for her ride, but she didn't have a cab voucher so I borrowed it from a female student, then I knew that she wanted to do it out of good will.“So you want to take me home?” I asked again, knowing Giselle did not like wasting her time on people, I wondered what triggered her to remember such details. “Yeah, since you did no
Giselle's POV.I drove into the mansion, and my mood was ruined by just stepping into that house. I walked upstairs and I heard a voice behind me, but I wanted to ignore it. “How dare you ignore my presence!” My mother in-law exclaimed angrily, and I sighed heavily. “Oh I'm too tired for this,” I mumbled to myself.“I am sorry, I didn't know you were there,” I said flatly, the hatred I had for her was just renewed so I did not have any reason to respect her so I decided to act neutral.“What! Did I look that invisible to you?” She asked angrily, and I just stared at her blankly. “Yayyyy, answer my question, how dare you act nonchalant towards me!” She flared up, and I just watched her perform her madness, because I was too tired to even hold my bag. I wanted to sleep after having fun, but that woman would never make it possible.“Don't be angry,” I said flatly, and that triggered her anger more. “Don't be angry? Haha, you are turning into something else!” She exclaimed, acting like
Giselle's POV.I grunt lazily as my alarm rang, and I turned it off angrily. “The night is too short,” I said lazily, then I turned to look beside me, I noticed that the pillow was too organized, then I knew Donald didn't sleep beside me that night. “Did he have an urgent meeting again?” I asked no one in particular, but I shrugged it off, because it wasn't the first time such a thing would happen .I got down from the bed, and went to the bathroom. I started to prepare for work, and I didn't pack too much lecture materials because of the meeting I was going to attend. I picked a dark beige suit, with an ivory blouse. I straightened my hair, and used light make-up, with a cherry lip gloss, and I stood up from the dressing table.And I slipped into my beige trouser, I got dressed. I took my ivory purse, and a high heel pump. I finished dressing, then I picked my overcoat and I left the bedroom. I went downstairs, hoping to have breakfast before going to work, but when I heard my mother
Claire's POV.The morning sun seeped into the room, and the sun shone in my direction. “Grrrrrrrrrr,” I heard my phone ringing, but I was too lazy to open my eyes, and I continued sleeping. “Grrrrrrrrrrrrr,” the sound continued to repeat itself, and I grunt lazily, and I stretched my hands trying to find my phone on my bed stand, but I noticed something wasn't right, the direction of my bed stand was the right side of my bed, but I didn't find it there, which made me opened my eyes slightly, and I find the whole room weird and different.‘This is not my room' I thought, and all of a sudden my brain was able to process it, and I widened my eyes immediately after figuring out that I wasn't in my house.I jerked up immediately, but I felt a banging headache on my head, which made me grunt in pain, it was the hangover, ‘I indeed drank a lot last night’ I thought. “How could you get drunk with a stranger?” I scolded myself. Then realization hits me.“Where is this place, and how did I get
Bryan's POV.I left my apartment, and I got a notification on my phone while driving, and I looked for a perfect spot to park my car. I took my phone, unlocked it, and the message popped up. I saw the message that was sent to the lecturers about the general meeting, and I tossed my phone aside, but then I remembered that Giselle would attend the meeting as well, and also it was a general meeting, so teachers from her previous school would have to join.Then, I hurriedly picked up my phone, and called Mark. “Hello boss,” he Said. “The stalker, send me his photos, and I need you to hack into the school billboard online,” I said, and ended the call. I sighed heavily , and thought of a way to distract so she wouldn't go.“That stalker will be there,” I mumbled angrily.*****I parked in my parking space, and waited for Giselle as usual. But not long after I sighted her car coming in, I smiled because she noticed me as well. She got down from the car and what I saw made me spaced out. She
Bryan's POV.Sebastian stopped talking, and I became curious about his next words. “What is it?” I asked impatiently. “Hmm.. when she passed out I ___” he was saying, but got interrupted by the lecturer that came in. “Later,” he said hurriedly, and I nodded at him.I brought out my course material, and we started the lecture, but the whole class was distracted because of some crazy entrance. I hissed irritatedly at the class.“She's so shameless,” Seb said, and I shook my head. “Miss Carson, you are late,” the lecturer said, and she halted her steps. She turned around and faced the lecturer. “Yes sir, it won't happen again,” she said, and the lecturer told her to sit.But she left all the empty seats and sat behind me as usual. The lecture continued, but then I heard a whisper behind me. “Do you miss me?” Ivy asked, and I ignored it. But she didn't stop. “I know you do, but I wo___ excuse me, Sir,” she was saying, but I interrupted her by calling the lecturer's attention. “What is it
