It wasn't like there was something she could do but it pains to know she died giving life to her and she didn't have the chance to say 'thank you' and to even let her know how much she loves her for everything."And me…how did I end up in the orphanage?" She asked in between her sobs. Mr. Wright stares at her, unable to speak. What was he to say? That he chased her mom away with her being pregnant for him?That he was misled and made a terrible mistake? Like, who the fuck will accept such an excuses?"This is not the right place to discuss this…can we all go inside?" Derrick said, breaking the awkward silence."No…I want to hear it all, here and now" Smiles interjected, unwilling to let go. She's been asking herself this question for what seems like a hundred times but never got an answer to it.At first, she was mad at her mom, thinking she left her in the orphanage because she didn't want her. She was wrong to quickly just her mom and she regrets it after hearing the reason behi
Smiles wakes up the next day in an empty bed. Her head throbs as a frown appears on her forehead because of the unbearable pain.Climbing off the bed, she was welcomed by her nakedness staring at her in the face.Of course, she didn't have any clothes on because it was Keane who bathed her the night before and he had no time to look for her dress.A smile spread on her lips for the first time since she returned from the event.Without any further delay, she hurriedly put on her dress and rushed down for breakfast..She was met with scramble eggs and toast served on the dining table alongside a glass of milk. A little white container was by the side, with a note on it.The first thing she did was pick on the note and read what it says"Eat your food before taking the medication…dosages indicated by the side…stop thinking and be good" She was as red as an apple as she stared at the notes, smiling.Even though nothing was romantic about it, it felt good to know he cared somehow.Taking
"She meant everything to me child…and I regret my actions, there has never been a day I don't blame myself for everything" He explains honestly."Was…it true? The accusations?" She asked in a staggered voice."No! It wasn't…it was a set up plan, and she was innocent…a victim to it all" this now only gets her even more confused, as she stares at him for more explanation."Dorah set her up…that night, she slept with a man in that hotel, and that man was no other person but me…I was the one who slept with her and I chased her saying she cheated on me…I thought it was Austin, 'cause he's always been in love with her even before I met her…she chose me, to spent her eternal, to love and adore yet I failed her in the simplest of things, that I promise to be…I failed to become " Smiles listening to him now was a heartbreaking sight, but something still didn't feel right.How could he have been the one yet couldn't remember?And what's Austin's connection with her mom?Thinking about it, her d
"And where do you think you are going too?" asked Keane in an unpleasant tone.Smiles didn't bother answering as she pulled her luggage and only stopped a fit away from him. She didn't bother answering his questions as she spoke out boldly to him "I wish to terminate the contract" her tiny voice rings. She stood there, staring at the man before her, sitting ever so elegantly on the royal blue sofa."I make the decision not you…" his voice was firm and warning. She was daring enough to bring up such a topic."I do have a say" She interjected. It was the first time she boldly spoke to him, not caring the fact that he was her master and she, the slave. Keane's head snapped to the side, with a raised brow. Amused at her sudden baldness."We had a contract signed that said it will only get terminated by you or by me asking your love" she explains."I don't need this anymore, I want to be free Keane, free from you" She calls him by his name for the first time. "I can't get stuck in this,
"You're alright?" Asked Lisa concern as she stares at the confused figure before her " you can talk to me" she urges.Keane couldn't describe how he was feeling. Nothing was right. Lisa cops on his face, hoping to get his attention.."I am here… talk to me" she begs pulling him even closer. Her scent only irritated him the more. So much as he wanted to let her comfort him, he just couldn't bring himself to. He grinds on his teeth " I am fine" he tells her sternly, stunning Lisa.She couldn't believe Keane, could talk to her in such a cold and bland tone, void of any emotion.Pushing her thoughts away, she tries to comfort him again but he pushes her away.She could hardly believe what's going on with him to the point he was shoving her away.In all the years she's known him, he has never pushed her away… it's always the other way round but today… It was something she never expected.Staring at the man before her, she couldn't help but wonder if she's done something wrong, " Did I d
He thought Lisa was gone not until she popped into the mansion again."I came to return this" she placed the ring on the sofa, and left.Nothing matters to him now than to find Smiles, there was nothing he could think of.It was almost midnight, he still couldn't get himself stable.Leaning back on the sofa, he closes his eyes, trying to get himself to think about the places she might have gone to.He's assigned his men to find her and it's been hours now, he has basically no clue on where she was.Did she intentionally mean to hide herself from him? 'cause if she did, then she's succeeding. But that didn't stop him from wanting to find her, he just can't hold on anymore longer than he already has… he's a complete mess without her. His silence was disrupted by an angry Derrick who pushed through the big door, " how dare you?" He questions angrily.Derrick was more than angry, the veins popping out on his face was evident.Firstly, he hurts his sister then Lisa… what worse of a perso
It took him more than just confessing his feelings for Smiles to get Derrick to give her location to him.Derrick is indeed a pest but that wasn't his concern. Right now, there is nothing more he needs than to see Smiles, to feel her soft lips in his mouth tasting her sweetness.To inhale her soft sweet scent of rose and vanilla mix. The scent that always sends chills down his spine.He drove his car at a very high speed like a mad dog chasing its prey with no intentions of giving up.Smiles on the other hand sit on the sandy shore staring at nothing in particular.Her heart and mind is a mess, she can't sleep.Her life right now is the direct opposite of what she's thought it would be like.But nothing hurts more than the fact she will never have him.Staring at the gloomy night sky brought nothing but pain, and sadness."I wish it was different… I wish it had a better ending" She cries. For the fourth time in her entire life, she wished there was a fairy godmother to grant her wish
Lisa sits in a bar wasting herself with piles of empty bottles before her. Tears roll down her cheeks as she stares at the fourth bottle in her hands."He doesn't love me… he loves another" she murmurs, wiping away her tears.There was absolutely nothing she could do better than drink herself to her death.Upon placing her drink on her lips, her eyes caught sight of a man, he was gorgeous as hell, staring back at her without blinking."Is he staring at me?" She wonders with a frown. Looking at the guy, her lips widen into a smile, making her look even sexier than ever."Hey, handsome!" She calls out, waving her hands.Confused as to who she was calling out to, Derrick turns behind only to see an empty corner. It can only be that she is calling out to him.He's been monitoring her ever since she left Keane's mansion, not wanting to leave her all by herself knowing she will waste herself to death."Don't look behind, I am talking to you… come over" She said, reaching out to him. Her
