Summer’s Point of View He remained in the same spot for one minute before he abruptly slammed the car door and marched towards me. I held my ground, staying in my spot and never letting my fear take away the bravery my eyes expressed. “You claim you forgot your memories, but it implies the opposite,” he coldly spat. “You have not changed in any way—still the same person you have always been. Exactly the same individual who has threatened others close to her in the past to achieve what she wants. With your past memories or not, you’re still the same… The Summer Ramey that is so brutal, cruel, and merciless.” With each word he uttered, he had such a cutting edge to his voice that I felt my throat closing and I couldn't bring myself to speak up in response. I couldn't bear to look at him, so I averted my eyes, knowing I couldn’t undo the damage his words had caused. His accusation of heartless made me feel numb, regardless of my past or present self. Wasn't he also someone who could
Summer’s Point of ViewI plopped down on the bench at the police station and swiped away the drop of sweat that had trickled down my face. Although I was feeling dizzy because of the heat, I had no other choice except to pray that if they noticed my dedication, they would give me authorization to bail Celine or at least let me see her.I wanted her to feel the comfort in knowing that no matter how sad her days may feel, I would always be there for her. I wished I could at least see her to cheer her up.Steven and I hadn't talked since our last conversation, so there was no way for me to expect anything from him. It had been a week and every time I called him; he hung up on me before I could even hear the ring. I had attempted to visit him at the Carter Group multiple times, but the front desk would always tell me he had already gone.Watching the people come and go at the station distracted me from the fact that I had to make a third trip to the hospital. I was hoping to have a conver
Summer's Point of View “Of course, Miss Hailey. We won't let any shameless woman enter... much more those people who pretend as Missus Carter," as the woman's voice faded, I could still hear her last words, "She isn't fit to be Missus Carter, and Mr. Carter has a good standard for his woman.”These two front desk women still didn't learn their lessons as I thought they would, they kept whispering that didn't seem to whisper but intentionally.“Oh! Don't let her hear you! Missus Carter "wannabe" might get mad again... and who knows probably has the power to fire us!”“She isn't Missus Carter! Mr. Carter didn't answer her calls. It's proof that she's lying to us.” The two women kept talking about me. I massaged my palm, turned it into fist, and gather all my will not to explode. Expecting I would be really angry, the two had an evil smirk when they seamlessly mocked me. Of course, they had Hailey in their back, so they wouldn't be easily get scared anymore.I just ignored their rants
Summer's Point of View My palms curved into fist as I tightened my grasp on my sleeves while I was watching Steven and Hailey walking away from me. I didn't remove my sight from them, especially when I saw how Hailey threw a proud and triumphant smirk while making words using her lips without sounds."You can't win against me."My heart clenched with needles penetrating the most crucial part of it... well, what's new? Steven squeezed my heart again until it dropped the last blood from it. It was painful, and I was upset about how he treated me. I'm his wife, Missus Carter, but he kept treating me like trash that he wanted to throw.....Ironically, he already did throw me away.I felt exhaustion washed all over me. Coming here was just another stressful moment that taking years of my life. As his back getting further and further, a little fire of hope was lit inside of me: that perhaps he would turn his head back to consider me before he would enter his car... but as expected, he didn
Summer's Point of View I took deep breaths and tried to push away the sting of what I had seen. I watched as Hailey moved closer to Steven, her lips turned up into a sly smirk, before she whispered something in his ear.“What are they whispering about?” I couldn't help but asked myself. Steven pulled Amby to the backseat of the car, and the seriousness of their conversation was evident in the deep frown on their faces. With a gentle lurch, the car started moving away from the parking space.“Where are they going?” I squinted and peered around, searching for a cab, but the silence of the exclusive, wealthy clubhouse made it difficult to find one.I almost ran in panic, my stomach churning with fear as I recalled what Hailey had told Steven - that Amby had gotten into an accident. She needed to be taken to the hospital, so I knew Steven would take her to the hospital with its grand entrance and expensive services.When I spotted a cab going my way, I hailed it and slid into the back
Summer’s Point of ViewI felt a presence behind me and when I swiveled around; I saw a young man who seemed to be my age. He had pinkish lips, and his jaw was in a perfect curve. He grinned at me knowingly, his eyes twinkling with recognition.“Hi,” I greeted and slightly bowed my head. His smile widened as I gave him a confused reaction. He looked so pleased when he saw me, so I couldn't help but wonder. “I’m sorry, but do I know you?” The man scratched his nape, and there was a strange emotion in his eyes when they landed on mine. He pursed his lips as if it was funny that I asked his name.“Hey! It’s me, Brandon Scott. It’s nice to see you again, Miss Summer.” Brandon? I couldn't recall meeting a person named Brandon. Straining my eyes shut as I tried to remember if I knew him, I came up empty.With a deep breath, I tried to remember the man, but the harder I concentrated, the worse my headache got. It was so painful that I almost groaned in so much pain.I felt the hollowness of
Summer's Point of View“Steven, it's time for you to head home. Why can't you believe me when I am telling you I am fine?” Amber urged again.Reality hit me like a ton of bricks when I heard Amby's words to Steven. I stole a quick look at him, feeling the anticipation in the air as I waited to see how he would react to her.Steven cast a glance at Brandon, who was standing to his side, instead of saying anything to Amby. His face was set in a serious expression, and his eyes were icy and uninviting.“What happened to Amby? Did you investigate it?” Steven asked and my heart felt like it was being squeezed and half into two. His face was etched with worry for Amby, more so than when he looked at me.Amby stared incredulously at Steven, shaking her head in amazement that he was being so obstinate in front of her."Yes, Mr. Steven. I found out that the man behind the chaos is—"“Froilan Hernandez invited me to have dinner with him. He is the director of the big company's technology, so I h
Summer’s Point of View “Divorce?” Steven chuckled, but his eyes lacked any joy. “Missus Carter, you seem to use that word a lot these days just because it is convenient for you. Since you can’t recall, allow me to remind you of your past self-centered refusals when I asked for a divorce.”I felt a lump in my throat and even I wanted to open my mouth; I knew all that would come out was air. The car stopped right at that moment as he turned his head on me. With his cold eyes, he asked, “What? Nothing to refute?”I pinched my right leg to force myself to stay conscious, feeling drained from the intensity of Steven’s gaze. He wanted to torture me. I was sure of it because his eyes couldn’t deny it. As my pants slowly became breath again, I muttered, “I’m only asking you to free Celine out of the jail. Is it hard for you to do?””How can you expect me to risk my neck against the Brown family for the insignificant assistant you have?” Steven sneered. “Insignificant?” I gritted my teeth an
