CHAPTER 55 :- Accident.Sage could barely keep his eyes open as he's already so dead drunk. Since his last conversation with Olivia, he stopped going to the office but rather consoled himself by choosing not drink and forget the pain."How dare you do this to me Olivia, after everything we've been through. After everything I've done to make you forget that jerk, you still turned away from me and went to him instead...." He burped loudly, reaching for another bottle of whiskey and gulping everything down.He was crying as well and constantly telling himself that he's so unlucky in love. He couldn't be with his fiancee, death took her away. The second woman he ever loved since then, Maynard took her away again. He's so heartbroken right now that he felt like giving up on everything. Standing up, he staggered back and fell on the Sofa but he stood up again and walked out of his room after stepping on the empty bottles littered everywhere and grabbing his car keys.Going down the stairs
Olivia didn't wait for Maynard to pull to a stop completely, she jumped off the car and rushed into the hospital, her heart relaxing so fast as different thought raced through her head.Few moments after her call with Sage, she received an anonymous call from City hospital where she was informed that Sage got into an accident and they had reached her since she was the last person he had talked to.She got really scared.!! Thinking that the loud sounds she heard where as a result of him getting run over by a truck.So many questions raced through her head and she was so eager to find out how he's doing, if he got badly injured.. She just doesn't want anything to happen to him. He's the only friend she's got.She got to the receptionist along side who had insisted on coming with her. She inquired about Sage and the nurse directed her to the ward he's in.Olivia rushed towards direction of the ward as given and she barged in without thinking twice to see a doctor, a nurse and also an un
Sage was Obviously really angrily over a lot of things that he can't really place his finger at. First he's furious that he couldn't win the heart of the woman he loves dearly, and now, he threw away the friendship they both had.He didn't know what came over him. He must have felt hurt and betrayed that she was trying to rub it in on him by letting Maynard come with her to the hospital.But there would have been a much more friendly way to speak to her but what's done is done. Atleast, it's clear to him now that there isn't someone he loves and she's with someone else. He needs a break to clear his head off and move on, and by doing so, he needs to be far away from her.He got discharged from the hospital few days ago and when he wanted to settle his discharge fees, he was told that a certain Maynard Sanchez already did..He could only scoff and roll his eyes, then walk off. As for the truck driver, he was lucky enough to escape death and the only thing Sage could do to compensate
Mark groaned for the up-tenth time as his cellphone rang for the fifth time. He has been ignoring it and wishing she'd stop calling but knowing how stubborn his mother could be, she did not stop and would not stop until he answers.As the phone began to ring again, he put his file away and picked up his phone, answering the call and his mother's voice popped up and the first thing she did was to begin scolding him. She always does that and it isn't new to him anymore."I can see that my son has grown some wings uh, to ignore my calls..."Mark rolled his eyes.. " Good morning Mom. I didn't ignore your calls, I had a lot of files on my desk to settle" He tried to make an excuse." Busy enough not to create time for your family uh? Seems like your grandfather raised you to forget you have your Mom and your Dad. You do not even come home to visit, Are we dead to you already?" She scolded and Mark rubs his forehead.There's a valid reason why he hates going over to his parent's... That's b
"Is this really necessary?" Lucy complained as Mark pulled over in front of a Mall." It's really necessary. You'd be meeting my parents tomorrow and I want you to look really nice. Let's get you some clothes, shall we? " He got down, moved over to get side and pulled the door open, waiting for her to get down but Lucy proved stubborn and still sat with her arms crossed underneath her bóöbs.Mark stretched out his arms, gesturing for her to step down but she shakes her head negatively, still being adamant.Mark leaned down and scooped her in his arms in a bridal style."what are you..? Put me down!"He didn't respond to her but simply began to work into the mall, not minding the states from people. Lucy felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment and since Mark had refused to put her down she could only hide her face on his chest.Reaching the clothes section of the Mall, he finally placed her down and talked to the Mall manager to find the perfect dress for her.Lucy was led into the ch
The D-Day is finally here, the day Lucy would be meeting with Mark's parents. She couldn't help but feel really nervous... She has never been in this situation her entire life.Meeting the man's family is like indirectly telling them that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. is that really it?She had asked Olivia countless times how it felt when she met with Maynard's parents for the first time!Olivia had said that it was a sweet experience and Maynard's parents were really nice people. Olivia further told her to simply just be herself and act natural and that the inner beauty and sense of humor of someone, speaks volume than the physical appearance.That's a different case, What about Mark's parents? Tho Mark kept saying that his mother was looking forward to meeting her but what are they like? What if they don't like her? What if..??Lucy groaned and stood up, then began to pace to and fro in her room. The air-conditioner is turned on but her palms feels sweat
"Oh! Austin, come join us!!" Mrs Townsend said and that caught Lucy's attention again, prompting her to turn around and have a look at who just came in.Turning around, she met the shock of her Life seeing Her Ex boyfriend walk into the Townsend mansion casually. What was he doing here? She can even recall the last time she saw him.. it was during their break-up.She averted her gaze and turned back on her seat when her eyes met with that of Austin. He was shocked at first but replaced it with a smirk almost immediately.He got to the dinning and had few talks with Mark's parents and they seemed well acquainted then he turned to Mark and they did a bro hug.Everyone felt uncomfortable with Austin around. Except for Lucy who became really nervous, just having him around."pardon my manners Austin, let me properly introduce you to my woman. Lucy?... " He called out, making her lift her head up. " Meet Austin,my cousin.... Austin, meet woman, Lucy Dalton" Mark made the introductions." W
He forcefully began to kiss her while he placed her both hands on his neck. She kept struggling to pull away but the more he did, the more his hold on her grew tighter. The more she kept biting his lips, the more he deepened the kiss."What in heaven's name is going on here?" Austin finally pulls her away. Lucy turned to Mark who was fuming in anger as he kept clenching and unclenching his fists.Her heart was thumping really fast. What had she done? What had Austin done!? This is going to ruin everything... "Ma.. Mark..." She stuttered, her voice coming out in a whisper. "Mark, I can explain.. it's really not what you think. "He wasn't looking at her but directly at Austin who kept wiping off the blood on his lips because of the bites."Mark,.." Lucy called out again and immediately, Bark charged at Austin, giving him an heavy punch on the face, which sent Austin falling in the table and some dishes crashing to pieces on the floor.Mark grabs Austin's collar and punched him hard
