I'm so sorry,” I uttered, rubbing soothing circles on my wife's back, as she retched into the toilet bowl.At that moment, I desperately wished to be in her place to feel the labor pains on her behalf because seeing her in that situation was really heartbreaking.“You'd better be,” Catherine groaned, clutching the side of the bowl as she stopped vomiting. “God, I hate you so much.”“I love you too, and I'm so sorry,” I responded, helping her stand before leading her out of the bathroom, and assisting her onto the bed.We were currently in one of the VIP rooms at her hospital.

Allison's POVA mix of emotions swirled through me as I folded my clothes into my luggage.Doing so made me realize that I basically had nothing, as more than half of my clothes had been bought by Leo when I moved in here.Sighing, I packed the rest of my clothes and dumped it into the open luggage, my heart hammering against my chest, as I recalled the happenings of the day before.So Leo was truly getting married, and within such a short time span.As much as it hurt to dwell on it, I couldn't help but wonder who his bride to be was.I knew she was probably from a wealthy family like him, and also pretty and smart too, unlike me.Come to think of it, Leo was right.

FIVE YEARS LATERAllison’s POV“I wonder why the CEO suddenly called an emergency meeting,” Tom, my colleague and the leader of the finance team uttered, as we both stood in the elevator.“Hopefully it's for a good reason because this has never happened in the past three years.” I replied, to which he sighed.“I know right. I hope so too,” He said, just as the elevator screeched to a halt. “Let's go.”Walking into the conference room, we saw Mr Isaac Sanders, the CEO conversing with his secretary who was typing fastly into her MacBook.Tom and I were the first team leaders to arrive at the meeting.“Good day, sir,” Tom and I greeted in unison before taking our seats.“Good day,” He responded, just as the other team leaders sauntered into the room, and greeted him.After everyone was seated, Mr Isaac cleared his throat and began.“Good day, everyone.
