View MoreEric’s POVAfter the accident, fragments of my memories vanished. The only recollections I retained were conversations with my mother and father.Prior to the collision, regrettably, I can't recall what hit us, though I was informed it was a car.Even more astonishing, I was discovered far from our vehicle. I often wonder how I survived, but no answers surface.For some inexplicable reason, I began to blame myself, leading to days of avoidance from my grandfather and subsequent tears.My Uncle Ben eventually disclosed why he avoided me: I served as a constant reminder of his beloved son's demise.There was always a sense that I needed to remember something important or someone crucial, yet attempts to do so were met with excruciating headaches, necessitating medication for relief.Even now, I yearn to recall the elusive memories, but they remain scattered.“Hey, you don’t need to remember now. It will come,” Phoebe's gentle touch to my cheeks alleviated my anxieties and headaches.Res
“Defending a cheater, tsk. Should we even believe him? He could be working with whoever he's involved with," Eric remarked, clearly annoyed.Diana raised an eyebrow and shot a glare at Eric. "Eric, he's my client. Watch what you say," she warned."I don't think I can help people who find pleasure in hurting the ones they claim to love. You knew your brother was married to the woman in question, yet you still had an affair with her," he added, disgust evident in his tone.Diana was furious with Eric, about to reprimand him when Mr. Lawrence spoke up ahead of her."Yes, I knew. We were lovers before she married my brother. I tried to stop us from meeting up, but I couldn't deny the fact that I also love her, and she loves me," he explained.Eric's anger simmered as he listened to Mr. Lawrence. He relaxed his shoulders and continued speaking."So you two met behind his back, had fun, made love to each other, and yet you claim you're not working together," Eric remarked.Phoebe, upon hear
RACHEAL RESIDENCE: Racheal was lounging in her room when she received word of a visitor. She wasn't expecting anyone in particular, but the identity of the visitor didn't catch her off guard.She instructed the maids to allow him entry. Philip had decided to pay his wife a visit, even though she had moved out of their condo a few days prior without informing him.Not that he cared, but he was concerned it might attract attention from the media.She waited for him by the poolside, reclining in a chair in her swimsuit. The sun cast its rays, accentuating her skin and revealing her curvaceous figure beneath the swimsuit.Philip arrived, holding a suitcase in his left hand as he made his way towards her.He chuckled at the sight of her relaxed demeanor, pretending not to have noticed him."You can't deceive me, Racheal. I know you were expecting me, so don't bother with the pretense; it doesn't suit you," he teased.She sighed and turned towards him. "Why are you here?" she inquired."Wh
Eric’s POV“I was angry to the point of killing someone. She hardly smiles at me. But here she was smiling wholeheartedly at Chang.These feelings are just too much to bear. I may be a jerk, but not an unfaithful one.Her phone was off. She probably knew I would call. Does this make any sense?She accepted to be my girlfriend, but why do I feel she just agreed to shut me up?“Andrew, let's head home,” I instructed.Andrew hesitated. It looked like he had something to say but decided not to.“Alright, sir.”After seeing her with another man and not just any other man but someone she had a crush on, made me feel insecure.Fear that I might lose her for good. The drive seemed longer than usual.Upon arrival, I opened the door without Andrew’s help. He was surprised, just not shocked.He knew I was upset and also avoided any unnecessary questions and actions.I went in and he followed. I wasn’t myself; I pulled out my necktie aggressively and threw it on the ground.I wasn’t in the mood t
PHOEBE POV“Why am I so upset?” I keep asking myself. I have been acting unreasonable lately. Avoiding him and making unnecessary excuses just so I won’t have to pump into him. “This is just getting out hand” I pulled my hair out of frustration. Ideally I am the one who supposed to get close to him. Talk to him and know more about him. I will be resuming work in two days time, which means I wouldn’t have any excuses to give in order to avoid him. The courtyard is just as beautiful as ever. Even though I am frustrated I can’t help but admire the courtyard.The surrounding keeps me calm amidst the confusion and frustration. I took a deep breath, my shoulders resting on the sofa and my head facing the glass ceiling. With my eyes closed I inhaled the fresh breeze and sent off the flower petals. Suddenly I felt something on my face. I couldn’t shake the feeling off and so I slowly opened my eyes only to catch Eric’s nostrils on my face. “Jesus Chris!” Startled I exclaimed. Accidentall
Chang and Yoon Eum agreed to give each other some space. It was harder for Yoon Eum to agree, but she had no choice.It was finally time for Mrs. Daisy and Jonathan to depart for Ghana. Phoebe fulfilled her promise to show them around with Andrew's assistance.Mrs. Daisy was still suspicious of Eric, so in order to avoid any confrontation between her mother and Eric, Phoebe made a deal with him.She would call him every night, and she kept her promise. She had a few days off from work to take care of her family.She specifically asked Eric to deduct from her pay since she wasn’t qualified for leave yet. Eric disagreed at first but eventually gave in.Eric wasn't allowed to accompany Phoebe and her family to the airport, but he disguised himself and followed them. He wore a disguise, which unfortunately made him stand out more, resembling a celebrity rather than a man hiding to see his lover say goodbye to her family.The ladies and children screamed when they saw a tall man wearing a
Pheobe's POV "Eric i know what you are doing?, you are trying to avoid the important things to be discussed." And what exactly is that?" i shot a glare at him. "Alright. Lets talk." "Your family?" "You seem to care more about them than you do with me" "seriously" i said, annoyed. "Your family will never accept me. they think i probably here for your money and nothing more". He wasn't listening to me, just like before, he was avoiding the topic. "Eric?" He pretended not to have heard me, surdenly raised our locked hands up and kissed my hand. "i am not ignoring your fears and worries. it just doesnt matter what my family thinks about you. What matters is you being by myside." This man sure knows how to rally me up inside. I pretended not to have heard him to and insisted on talking about it. He kissed my hand again and again. I sighed. "Do you want this relationship to work?" oops! i shouldn't have said anything at all. His demeanor changed. I bit my lower lip. He stared iint
His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. Hurrying to answer it, he found Dylan's head popping out."It's almost time. We have to go," Dylan reminded him."Tsk, I know, and you don’t have to worry. I’m already set," he replied.Noticing his friend's downcast demeanor, Dylan decided to lift his spirits."I heard your brother is in a relationship now. Do you know who the lucky girl is?" he asked."Seriously, Dylan?" he responded, annoyed."What? Just trying to lighten the mood. You've been down since you heard about your pretty friend being in a relationship with Eric, which I doubt, though," Dylan pointed out."It's true, they are in a relationship. It’s official," he revealed."She is one lucky girl. She found herself a billionaire," Dylan teased.Chang chuckled at his friend's response, thinking to himself, "You're wrong. He's the lucky one, and he knows it."Arriving at the guesthouse, Andrew wasn't pleased with their choice of accommodation but kept his tho
Eric’s POVI anticipated this level of hostility. He's ready to defend his sister. "Adorable." Everything about this family exudes beauty and charm. "You can rest assured. As long as I'm alive, no one will harm your sister, not even me." He was surprised by my choice of words. I sensed he had faith in me. "You'd better me. I may be young, but I won't hesitate to demonstrate how fiercely I can protect my sister," his words carried a warning. "And you have my promise," I asserted firmly. It seemed the women had finished their conversation. It felt like an eternity. I was nervous and impatient; there were many 'what ifs' that terrified me. I had to confess, not having Phoebe by my side ranks second only to my fear of heights. They approached us, whispering and giggling. I despise superhero movies, and I'm not particularly fond of movies in general, but for the first time, I wished I had the ability to eavesdrop, especially on Phoebe's conversations. Phoebe and Mrs. Daisy approached
