I was stunned. I couldn't believe that someone who had been so vibrant and full of life could be facing such a difficult battle. And then, I felt guilty. Guilty for being angry at her without knowing the full story. Guilty for judging her without understanding what she was going through.As she talked, I could see the pain in her eyes. She had lost everything because of her illness. Her position as the top socialite, her friends, and even her fiancé. She even left her country just to hide away from everyone. I wouldn't tell a lie that she's a strong woman. had to move back in with her parents only when she found out that she got healed. I sat with her for hours, listening to her story and trying to understand what she was going through. I couldn't even imagine the fear and uncertainty she must have felt.But even as I listened, I couldn't help but feel angry at the unfairness of it all. How could someone so young and full of life be struck down by such a terrible disease? How could m
I had waited for some time when I saw her checking all over the car. I had moved to a dark corner of the parking lot and she couldn't see me. I was burning with anger so I walked toward her and held her hand. She was surprised at first until she saw me but I didn't give her any breathing space. I dragged her to the car and pushed her to the passenger's side.I turned around to sit on my side but I didn't start the car. Instead we had a little heated argument.I didn't realize what was happening but I was suddenly stuck in her face. My eyes roamed all over her kissable lips. I gulped as I wished I could kiss her. And I was fucking going to do that until a call came through.I snapped out of my euphoric state, thinking about what I was about to do. What was I thinking? Was I really allowing myself to kiss her?I answered the call before starting the car so we could leave that place. I wasn't in my right frame of mind. How could I be drawn to a girl whose brother just had a brawl with m
Violet's PovThe cool night air enveloped them as they sat on the swing, the gentle creaking of the chains providing a soothing backdrop to their conversation. The woman, lost in thought, absentmindedly pushed the swing back and forth with her foot as her four year old son chattered excitedly beside her.That woman was me."Mommy, did I tell you about my home teachers? They're so nice! They bring me toys and we play games together. And they taught me new words and numbers."I smiled brightly, my thoughts momentarily interrupted by Vince's enthusiasm. "That's great, honey. I'm glad you like them."Vince continued to talk animatedly about his teachers, but my mind began to drift back to the argument I had had with Jason earlier this night. It was just a common argument, I had expected it to end in tears and me being left out, not with us almost kissing.The scene replays in my mind, taunting me with what could have been. We were arguing, as usual, in his car. I barely even remember what
Violet's PovLast night was a little tiring after I attended to Jason's injury. Well, he had to allow me after Clara left. I treated his injury without a word before going to my room. I slept off as soon as my back touched the soft bed. The next morning was a Saturday and I was having a peaceful morning, catching up on some much needed sleep when my phone buzzed on my nightstand. I groaned and rubbed my eyes, trying to ignore it, but the buzzing persisted. I reluctantly picked up my phone and saw a message from my Clara."Hey, sleepyhead! Wake up, we're going shopping today!" The message was accompanied by a string of shopping bags and high heel emojis.I groaned. I thought she gave up last night? I groaned again knowing how much suffering I was about to face this morning that was supposed to be my resting day!It was no news that Clara Clarksville was a die-hard fashionista and loved nothing more than hitting the stores for the latest trends. I, on the other hand, preferred to do my
Jason's POVSeriously?I eyed Violet's back in anger as she just left me when I did not answer her. I am the hurt one here, she should pet me and apologize but she just ignored me."Stop eye fucking her, it is disgusting," Clara complained, making a vomiting face. I glared at her and said coldly."I am not eye fucking her.""Sure." She did not look like she believed me one bit.I was sitting on the chair, scrolling through my phone, when my sister barged to my side of the chair pouting and batting her eyelashes like a child. I raised an eyebrow, curious and wary of her intentions."Hey, big brother," she cooed, approaching me with slow and deliberate steps. "How's my favorite brother doing?""I am your only brother," I said with a straight face. I sighed inwardly, knowing that whenever my sister used that tone and nickname, she wanted something from me. She could be manipulative and selfish, but she also knew how to play cute and charming to get what she wanted."I'm fine, Clara" I sa
That bitch!! That bitch!!! I was fuming at the information I just got from someone. According to what that nosy nurse told me, Violet had done something to Vince during his operation to make him think that she was his mother. Everybody knows Jason can not resist giving Vince what he wants. It must have been her luck to run across Vince and Jason during the accident. She knew the chances of having that brat by her side. As a highly qualified pediatric surgeon, she took the opportunity and turned it to her favor.Such a scheming bitch!I was so angry, I threw my phone on my car door. I thought hard on what to do to her. I thought hard on how to get back my man. Vince was not the issue. I don't care if he likes me or her, what I care about was Jason.If Jason could continue loving me like he did before, he would become mine sooner than later once I put that brat in check. "Ah, since you have decided to play like this Violet, don't blame me for giving you what you deserve."With that s
Violet's POVIt's been one week since I met Jason's sister and I must say she is one hell of an open-minded person. walked out of the restaurant with Clara, feeling so happy and content. I couldn't believe how much fun I had just had. It had been ages since I had felt this carefree and alive. I looked over at Clara and she had a big smile on her face too, her eyes sparkling with joy. We had just spent the whole afternoon eating, drinking, and laughing, and it was exactly what I needed.As we walked down the street, I couldn't help but think about how lucky I was to have a friend like Clara. She had come into my life unexpectedly a few days ago, and ever since then, things had been looking up. She was one of those people who just radiate positivity and happiness, and being around her always made me feel better.I had been so busy with work and stress lately that I had forgotten what it was like to have fun. My job as a doctor at the hospital was demanding, and I often found myself wo
"Sugar! What the fuck are you doing in an amusement park?""Uhhh?" I was confused about how Joe knew I was in an amusement park. I turned around but I did not see him."Mommy?" Vince noticed me acting weird and looked at me worriedly."Did you kidnap a child?" Joe sounded very confused."What are you even…" I felt a hand tap my shoulder and I screamed, slapping the person violently. Vince joined me in beating up the person until I noticed it was Joe. "What are you doing here?" I asked."Is this how to greet your friends, Violet?" He covered his face and fixed his messy hair. Forgive me, based on the numerous billionaire novels I had read, there is a possibility of a kidnapper suddenly kidnapping me or Vince so I took no chances.Vince and Joe looked at each other and I don't know why but I could feel the electricity cackling in the air."Who is this?""Mom, who is this?" They both asked in unison then turned to glare at each other. I squinted my eyes at the duo's actions. I introdu
