“What is this girl doing here?!”
I frowned. Can’t I be here? Did she own this place?
“Hadley can calm down first?” Quen said.
“Why is this girl doing here?! Answer me first!”
Hadley is acting like a spoiled brat. I just shook my head.
“Do you want me to give you two a time to talk Quen?” I asked Quen.
Hadley’s eyes widen again. “What did you just call him?!”
My jaw dropped. Is Hadley for real? Is she jealous? Does she re
“Mom, are you going to have a date with dad again this week?” Amelia asked excitedly.I smile at her while caressing her cheeks. “Why honey?” “I want to see mom and dad again on the news,” Amelia answered.I furrowed. Is Hadley’s issue not yet settled in their school?“Why?” I asked.Amelia shrugged. “I just want to show it again to my classmate. They look so amazed at how you guys look on the news. They all said that you guys look perfect together. They finally know why I am this beautiful.” U
“Are you in love with Hadley?”Nick did not answer, he just stared at me.“Why can’t you answer me? Is that so hard to answer?” I asked him again.“What do you want to hear from me?” Nick seriously asked.“The truth!”Nick sighed aloud then he looks at me intently. “Yes. I am in love with Hadley Adelson.”The moment Hadley barge in Quen’s office telling she got the information from Nick, I knew something is fishy.I can’t believe what I just heard right now, even though I already expecting it.Nick was a good friend to us. And hearing this feels like I have been betrayed by a trusted friend.“Did you approach Ulie because of Hadley?” I asked him.Nick slowly nodded at me. “Yes. But it was not Hadley who ask me to approach me. It was my plan. You should thank me for doing it. It was yo
“It was Hadley again?! When will she ever stop?!” I hissed.I somehow treated her as a friend because of the time we spend in America. But this is too much! “But why will Nick listen to her?” I suddenly asked. “Because Nick is in love with her,” Ellie answered.I was not shocked at all. I knew from the start that Nick has a thing for Hadley. I knew he approached me for a reason. I just let him be because it will be an advantage to me if ever Nick will succeed in winning Hadley’s heart. I looked at Ellie. She looks like she was waiting for me to react.  
“You don’t look happy,” I told Ellie.I expected her to cry with happiness now that I finally remember our past. But it did not happen, she looks more scared than happy. “Of course I’m happy! But I can’t help to feel scared.” I frowned. “Is it because of my suicide attempt again?” Ellie slowly nodded. I can’t blame her for feeling that way. I feel a bit happy because I can see that she is scared to lose me forever but I am also feeling a bit piss because of my previous suicide attempt, she became scared of me remembering her or my past. But if you will ask me, I w
Hadley’s effort yesterday to spread fake gossip did not go to waste. Our confrontation in the restaurant is now on the headline in almost all the newspapers. Every article is now saying that I broke Nick’s heart that is why he pulled out his investment in CIC and I am the reason why LHI cancel his partnership with Hearst. I even look at the article in the online forum. People started to bash me and call me names. I am worried not for myself but my kids. They are the ones who will be greatly affected by this news. I wanted to get angry with Hadley because she was the reason for all this. I don't get why there are people who enjoy the suffering of others. They are so selfish to the point that they don't care who will be affected by all their schemes.
“I never loved Hadley or any other girl because there is someone who already owned my heart, since then until now. And it’s none other than my Quinn, the mother of my children.”People from the media started to ask questions.“Why is Ms. Hadley acting like she had a relationship with you?” “Is it safe to say that Ms. Hadley is just delusional?” “If Mr. Nick pulls out his investment from CIC because of the woman he loves, are you referring to Ms. Hadley?”Those are some of the questions that the reporters are throwing us.
The press conference went well. Our company is the headline in all business newspaper.Our company stocks are doing well again. It went better to compare to the previous years. I should thank Ulie, Quen, and Jace for it.Their names have a big influence in the business world. I am grateful for them.But I will be very honest, it puts so much pressure on my part because people are expecting a lot from us.The company decided to organize a victory party for this huge success. We invited the three great guys who help us to overcome this battle.“How’s the preparation for today’s event?” I asked Luna.
I feel so empty.Without My Quinn, my life is so empty. Why did I say those things to her? Why did I hurt my Quinn?It’s been a week since the new semester started. I thought that during the semester break, I was successful in fooling myself that I did the right decision.But who am I kidding? I was afraid to lose her that is why I told her that I only see her as a friend. I want us to last that is why I want us to remain as friends. And now, I lost her forever.Can I really carry on my life without her?“Call her,” Quen said when I call him
