View MorePhoebe’s POVI wasn’t upset or anything of that sort. I just felt I didn’t belong in their world.I was insignificant. I hardly felt that way growing up but now that have accepted to be Eric’s girlfriend the weight on my shoulders suddenly felt heavy.I can’t believe I am thinking of such things. He might be thinking I am upset the idea of Yoon Eum being his escort or that he knew her before I did.I startled after knowing their had a connection but it wasn’t a bother. I knew he might have many of women in his life. Not only he handsome, he is rich too. My thoughts was interrupted when I heard Andrew calling out to me.We had arrived. “Phoebe” he called.I got out the car without any help from Andrew or Eric. I smiled at both of them. “See you later then”I could tell, from a glance that Eric wanted to say something but hesitated. I didn’t bother asking what he wanted to say and left them behind. I slammed my body on to the bed. I was so exhausted from all the thinking and negati
Eric's POV“I was invited in case you hadn’t noticed," Yoon Eum defended herself."You said you wouldn’t interfere, you would do as I say, so why did you appear when I hadn’t called you yet?" I reminded her of our agreement made a few days back."Tsk, seriously Eric, get a grip. Not everything is about you. I was called by Diana, and she is my friend too, someone I care about. Since you've forgotten, you've done the same."I couldn’t believe how you kept flaunting your relationship with Phoebe to the woman you once claimed to love and had just broken up with," she said to him and pushed him away so she could escape his grip.He sighed and followed after her. The silent treatment continued, and this time around it was Phoebe who kept avoiding eye contact and staring through her side window.New York: Mr. Anthony Lawrence’s apartmentBing!He heard his doorbell ring. He was expecting someone. He quickly got out of his chair and went to the door to check who was there.Expecting someone,
Eric’s POVPhoebe was more convincing than the rest. I won’t deny that it can’t be just a coincidence.She may have had the idea of me recognizing her after meeting at so many places.Her plan didn’t work. Since I didn’t recognize her. Looking back, I do remember bumping into a woman who oddly looked familiar all the time, but I never gave it a thought.Listening to Phoebe and the rest made it clear someone was watching all this time. Not only Grandfather but someone I never anticipated.I wanted to know more about Phoebe’s discovery, so I inquired a bit more.“So you mean just must be after me and you?”“Maybe, I am just putting things together. It could also be just a coincidence and nothing more. Or maybe I am just being paranoid,” she replied.“I get what you're trying to say Phoebe. But the question is, why will she go through all the trouble for someone who doesn’t remember her? It just doesn’t make sense,” Diana pointed out.I couldn’t deny her point of view. She might be right.
Eric’s POVAfter the accident, fragments of my memories vanished. The only recollections I retained were conversations with my mother and father.Prior to the collision, regrettably, I can't recall what hit us, though I was informed it was a car.Even more astonishing, I was discovered far from our vehicle. I often wonder how I survived, but no answers surface.For some inexplicable reason, I began to blame myself, leading to days of avoidance from my grandfather and subsequent tears.My Uncle Ben eventually disclosed why he avoided me: I served as a constant reminder of his beloved son's demise.There was always a sense that I needed to remember something important or someone crucial, yet attempts to do so were met with excruciating headaches, necessitating medication for relief.Even now, I yearn to recall the elusive memories, but they remain scattered.“Hey, you don’t need to remember now. It will come,” Phoebe's gentle touch to my cheeks alleviated my anxieties and headaches.Res
“Defending a cheater, tsk. Should we even believe him? He could be working with whoever he's involved with," Eric remarked, clearly annoyed.Diana raised an eyebrow and shot a glare at Eric. "Eric, he's my client. Watch what you say," she warned."I don't think I can help people who find pleasure in hurting the ones they claim to love. You knew your brother was married to the woman in question, yet you still had an affair with her," he added, disgust evident in his tone.Diana was furious with Eric, about to reprimand him when Mr. Lawrence spoke up ahead of her."Yes, I knew. We were lovers before she married my brother. I tried to stop us from meeting up, but I couldn't deny the fact that I also love her, and she loves me," he explained.Eric's anger simmered as he listened to Mr. Lawrence. He relaxed his shoulders and continued speaking."So you two met behind his back, had fun, made love to each other, and yet you claim you're not working together," Eric remarked.Phoebe, upon hear
RACHEAL RESIDENCE: Racheal was lounging in her room when she received word of a visitor. She wasn't expecting anyone in particular, but the identity of the visitor didn't catch her off guard.She instructed the maids to allow him entry. Philip had decided to pay his wife a visit, even though she had moved out of their condo a few days prior without informing him.Not that he cared, but he was concerned it might attract attention from the media.She waited for him by the poolside, reclining in a chair in her swimsuit. The sun cast its rays, accentuating her skin and revealing her curvaceous figure beneath the swimsuit.Philip arrived, holding a suitcase in his left hand as he made his way towards her.He chuckled at the sight of her relaxed demeanor, pretending not to have noticed him."You can't deceive me, Racheal. I know you were expecting me, so don't bother with the pretense; it doesn't suit you," he teased.She sighed and turned towards him. "Why are you here?" she inquired."Wh
Eric’s POV“I was angry to the point of killing someone. She hardly smiles at me. But here she was smiling wholeheartedly at Chang.These feelings are just too much to bear. I may be a jerk, but not an unfaithful one.Her phone was off. She probably knew I would call. Does this make any sense?She accepted to be my girlfriend, but why do I feel she just agreed to shut me up?“Andrew, let's head home,” I instructed.Andrew hesitated. It looked like he had something to say but decided not to.“Alright, sir.”After seeing her with another man and not just any other man but someone she had a crush on, made me feel insecure.Fear that I might lose her for good. The drive seemed longer than usual.Upon arrival, I opened the door without Andrew’s help. He was surprised, just not shocked.He knew I was upset and also avoided any unnecessary questions and actions.I went in and he followed. I wasn’t myself; I pulled out my necktie aggressively and threw it on the ground.I wasn’t in the mood t
PHOEBE POV“Why am I so upset?” I keep asking myself. I have been acting unreasonable lately. Avoiding him and making unnecessary excuses just so I won’t have to pump into him. “This is just getting out hand” I pulled my hair out of frustration. Ideally I am the one who supposed to get close to him. Talk to him and know more about him. I will be resuming work in two days time, which means I wouldn’t have any excuses to give in order to avoid him. The courtyard is just as beautiful as ever. Even though I am frustrated I can’t help but admire the courtyard.The surrounding keeps me calm amidst the confusion and frustration. I took a deep breath, my shoulders resting on the sofa and my head facing the glass ceiling. With my eyes closed I inhaled the fresh breeze and sent off the flower petals. Suddenly I felt something on my face. I couldn’t shake the feeling off and so I slowly opened my eyes only to catch Eric’s nostrils on my face. “Jesus Chris!” Startled I exclaimed. Accidentall

Phoebe fulfilled her promise to show them around with Andrew's assistance.Mrs. Daisy was still suspicious of Eric, so in order to avoid any confrontation between her mother and Eric, Phoebe made a deal with him.She would call him every night, and she kept her promise. She had a few days off from work to take care of her family.She specifically asked Eric to deduct from her pay since she wasn’t qualified for leave yet. Eric disagreed at first but eventually gave in.Eric wasn't allowed to accompany Phoebe and her family to the airport, but he disguised himself and followed them.
