So this is where he's meeting with foreign investors was going on.    I kept looking at their smiling faces with a set jaw. She was still fixing his tie with a sweet smile on her beautiful face while still listening to what he was saying to her. They were so busy with their talk that they didn't acknowledge my presence. They looked like happy couples you see in movies, just perfect and made for each other. She suits him more with her beautiful features. After all, he always wanted a beautiful girl, not an ugly girl like me.    That thought did something to me. I lowered my eyes feeling the madness increase inside me. I heard a loud laugh which made me lift my eyelids and look at them. The woman hit playfully on his arm and said something back which made him grin. He can even make a girl laugh. I never knew he had this talen

I think it's now high time for me to get doomed.    I just smiled faintly at her words. Dad, uncle, and aunty now everyone will know about us staying together. I can't escape this time. I'm getting these bad jitters just thinking about when all of them will ask us questions about me staying with Jack. This is going to be a shock for dad because he still doesn't know I'm living with Jack. But I think he will know about it too soon when aunty tells him. I have to be prepared for his answer and question section. All these things we're making me nervous.    "Bye Nina," said Liam in his baby voice while bringing me back to my present. I smiled looking at his smiling face. For a second it made me forget all my worries. Kids have the power to make you forget all the bad and disturbing things in your life. They unknowingly cheer yo

He was looking at him like he was looking at his biggest enemy in this world.   Looking at him after that day brought so many memories back. All the things that happened on that day started playing in front of my eyes like projectors were playing. Jack and Ryan fought like mad dogs on that day not letting go of each other's throat and when I tried to stop them they pushed me so hard that I fell, ripping my knees.    It brought back all the sore memories. I was so heartbroken that day I never expected him to fight like that with Jack because I know Jack was a mad dog and he still is but he was not like him and that's why I became friends with him. He was sweet and caring but he turned out to be like him. That day he lost the face of my sweet friend and became the person from whom I was trying to run away.  &nb

I knew I was trying to win the losing Hate War but I won't give up till the end.    A warm tear slid out of my eyes as I remembered that day again. It has been two weeks since he said those words to me and tore the power of attorney papers in front of my eyes. He tore my last hope in front of my eyes two weeks ago and it still feels like yesterday he shattered my soul.     After he left me alone in his bedroom I grabbed my bag and left for my apartment. On my way bracing myself to face any problem he created in my life. I knew how cruel and determined he is in getting what he wants. He will do anything to get me in his inescapable trap and I need to be prepared to get out of it without harming myself. He has been patiently waiting and building his trap so he could trap me but he doesn't know I was prepared for anything

Pitch-black darkness completely took over me.    "Nina----Nina" I heard a fading panic-filled voice of Jack. My body becomes weightless as it starts to lose its stability ready to collapse and break forever.    "Nina" I again heard Jack's fading voice as I fully lost my capability of hearing any sound too.    I felt like falling into a lake that was filled with cold winter water. I felt the cracking of ice as my body hit it to submerge it completely. The coldness of the water was giving a cooling sensation to my burning body. But soon that sensation went away even before I could breathe in a little comfort. I opened my eyes to see where exactly I was. But as I tried to open them they felt so heavy as If something was stopping them from opening them.
