WRITER’S POVHeartbroken, Veronica had taken a cab that drove her to one of the restaurants around.“Wine...no, a bottle of beer please,” she beckoned to the server. She doubts wine would be enough to soothe the pain she was feeling within her that moment. She hadn’t been in this particular restaurant before, one of these simple looking kind of restaurants but right now that was the least thing in her mind. All she wanted was to drink herself to death.I have no friends, my boyfriend just broke up with me after cheating on me all these while and I am married to a man that currently was having his best time with his lover. She thought and broke into a hysteric laughter.“Wow! Hahahaaha! Isn’t life funny....” Her head fell back and she laughed. A painful laugh that coursed through her chest like a dagger. The thought of Vincent in the arms of that lady broke her heart all over again.To think that he had been cheating on her all these time while giving her flimsy excuses of always be

VERONICA’S POV“Urh, yeah, while I checked for some nice places, I came across this place. What is it called...Rolls and Chills? I think ladies mostly like here and they had some really good reviews in their page.” He said as if he had read my mind.What? he chose here because he read some silly good reviews about them? This was a typical of when your good deeds come to bite your ass. Some of those comments was left by me and my friends when we started to come here and totally fell in love with the place.“Come on, we are here.” He said as he stepped down from the car.I couldn’t ask him to change to a different place. That would be suspicious and yet I feared bumping into my friends here.“Aren’t you coming down?” He pulled open the door.“Urh, erm, of course I am.” I stumbled on my words dragging my jittery legs out of the car.Lawrence and I proceeded into Rolls and Chills. He and the receptionist went over a few things while I stood aside and waited. When he was done, we started t

LAWRENCE’S POV“Send your driver to come pick me. I am coming over.”Coming over? That’s weird. For all the times I had pleaded with Bianca to come over to my house, she had always turned down the offer. All of a sudden she wants to come over?I was both happy and worried.Sudden? Yes, but it only means Bianca was warming up to me in a good way. She had mostly been reserved around me and asked that I give her time to warm up to me. I didn’t care how long but I was going to let her warm up to at her own pace.I wondered if she wasn’t mad at me again about the news making round about me and Veronica.I just shrugged and waved it off. If she loved me, she would hear my side of the story and seeing as she had offered to come see me, it means she trusts me. That was enough for me.I made to dial Jessie’s number but stopped on a second thought. The housekeepers weren’t meant to be back until later in the evening. I glanced at the wall clock and realized it was almost evening. And Jessie wou

LAWRENCE’S POVNo matter how much I thought about it, I just couldn’t understand what happened; why Bianca had gotten that enraged and left my house.It was a minor thing and I feel it wasn’t intentional from Veronica. Why did she have to get so quickly annoyed and stormed out?I called her several times on phone but she didn’t pick only to send me a text message after several days.“I’m sorry how I left the other day. I was just a little on edge. I will call you soon. Bye! Kisses!”Frankly, I felt bad. However, I was understanding of her actions. I could have felt worse if the woman I loved is openly married to a different man. Whether contracted or not.I pulled open the drawer beside me and took out a series of documents. Documents I have to look through and stamp my signature. A knock sounded on my door as I began to sign the documents.“Enter,” I said knowing it would be my secretary, Ms Jones.“Sir, there is a document that just entered. Your signature is needed.” She said as sh

WRITER’S POVBefore Lawrence called Veronica, she had already seen the news of his alleged affairs.Knowing how his lover had treated her the last time, she was supposed to be indifferent about whatever the media did to them but she couldn’t help but wonder if Lawrence was alright.
