65.5H U G O One week ago. New York City.I sat on the couch right across Landon and I have been inside his office, waiting for him to finish his negotiation with his new client in the other room. I glare at my watch the same time he finally steps inside the room and he quickly joins me. He sat on the couch right across me with a folder in his hand and he looked…. calm."I know I promised to meet you at lunch today but I had some meetings to attend to. I am sorry for that." He say."It's alright." I answer."Coffee? Tea? Water?" He offers."No, I'm good." I responded.He nods. "I'm glad you're around New York." He tells me.I nod. I study Landon from where I am sitting down and he looks indisputably calm yet tensed. I could tell he's tensed. I should be the one who should be tensed, I was the one who almost cause him to break up with Rose. I fucked his girlfriend but he's acting like it doesn't bother him."Landon, I know you're mad at me for what I did. Don't stop yourself from hitt

66.5M I R A N D AI run to the nearest bathroom and burst into tears as they were falling over my cheeks which were seemingly unstoppable. It hurts so much that I cannot even describe how painful it is. It hurts. It hurts. I really fucking fucking hurts and honestly, I hate this. I really freaking hate this. I hate this so much that I do not even know how to describe it.As much as I held back everything inside that elevator, I know I need to let this one out. I grabbed onto the sink and just cried aloud while my shoulders slumped as if it was the end of the world. I feel my heart is aching so much that I feel it's terribly tingling and throbbing. I know I could not do anything about this one. I can't do something about this because this is what is right. This is the right thing to do, to end this stupidity and to end this selfishness. This is what Hugo wanted to happen and this is what he should have done in the first place, to give up on me.I never thought it'll hurt this much hea

68M I R A N D ABen is now stabilized and he is sleeping peacefully on top of his hospital bed. It almost gave me a heart attack when I saw Ben having trouble breathing a while ago and maybe because I knew he has asthma plus his TBI would definitely make it worse even though he has been going through therapy.Landon hasn't left Ben's side and he hasn't talked to me since we got here, even though he keeps holding me tight around his arms. I know he's still bothered about what happened and he is as worried as I am.I grab a chair and sat next to Landon. He looks a little too serious but he smiles at me ruefully as I placed my head over his shoulder. "The doctor said Ben's fine." I say.I hear him sighing heavily. "It's because of me." Landon blames himself."It's not." I tried to get his mind off of it.I know he is blaming himself for what happened but I wouldn't want him to. What happened was an accident and I was careless enough to forget that Ben had TBI."Dosa is made of wheat lik

70H U G O The moment they said each other's vows, I knew what she felt for Landon is real. Those words they said to each other were beyond perfect. I haven't been this jealous ever since and I feel the need of running out of the church to scream it all out from my chest because I am really hurt. I don't like what I'm feeling while watching them exchanging vows and everyone is crying for Landon and Rose because of joy but here I am acting stiff and emotionless but dying inside while I watch the woman I love getting married to my best friend.The way they looked at each other. The way they smiled at each other. The way they were so romantic over exchanging their vows and how they said it with love behind their eyes. The people around were even moved, Paris and Scarlet were even crying too. Most of the guests did, even the photographer's assistant cried.But I didn't.I wanted to cry but for another reason.That Rose will never be mine.Never. Ever."You may now kiss the bride." The pr

PROLOGUEAudrey is crying on the couch while she covers her face with her hands. He is sitting right across her and watching her crying her heart out but he didn't care. Audrey pulls her head up to him with her tears wetting her cheeks."You promised me Audrey." He says firm.He isn't bothered about her tears, he is hard as a rock and he does not care about emotions anymore. He knows pretty damn well that she acts her way out of trouble and he's gotten a hold of it for years now. He's used to seeing Audrey getting what she wants and she knows she can't deceive him but at least she tried to. He knows she's spoiled. He knows too damn well that he needs to trim down those devilish long horns above her head and he can do it because he can manipulate her for he knows all her dirty secrets."I know I promised you!" She yells."But it's taking so long!" He yells back.She's scared. She knows he's capable of everything when he wants to do something. She knows damn well that he is willing to k
