I was running like mad in my house calling out Nancy and Angie’s name. I was checking all the rooms but I didn’t get any response from anywhere.
My dad had never talked to me like that; he never laid a finger on me. As I was thinking about the instances my Dad’s words came to my mind “You don’t deserve her, your Mom was wrong that you are best for her, you are worst for her” how come my Mom knows Nancy.
Because as much as I remember whatever happened that all happened after my Mom passed away, I need to ask my Dad about it but not now, right now my priority is different
I was sitting on the stairs for a few minutes I didn’t know what I have to do but I composed myself and said to myself “I will not lose Nancy for the second time”
What I saw in my room means Nancy had planned all that she was about to confess her love, it would have been the best day in my life, but Kara and her Dad turned it upside down and soon they will regret it.
I called Zack and told him what he needed to do.
Nancy’s POV
It’s been a week but Owen didn’t call, not even tried to reach me at least once. Sometimes my heart asks whether leaving him was my right decision or not. But then my brain replies if it was a wrong decision then why didn’t he try to call you at least once.
I have lost my appetite these days. I hardly manage to eat anything. I am trying to bury myself in my work. Many times I feel like he is somewhere close to me but I know that he is not here. He must be at his home enjoying with Kara or some other girls.
I have many questions like why did he do this to me, why did he marry me if he didn’t love me, he was always very gentle and caring towards me and Angie. I never thought in my dream a person could cover his true self so nicely.
I fight with my heart and my brain. My heart still says that he would never cheat me, I have seen true love in his eyes, but my brain says if he didn’t cheat then that was what we saw in the hotel.
If he was not wrong then why didn’t he inform me about the party, why did he hide it from me? He must have some ulterior motives.
Today I have not been keeping well since morning, but I don’t want to stay alone at home. I will think about Owen and feel sad only so I forced myself and came to the office.
Owen’s POV
It’s been a week and I am in NY following Nancy, I arrived here the same morning as Nancy came. I could not leave her alone even for a moment.
I don’t dare to face her or to call her. I am just following her like a stalker. I don’t know what to say to her.
I can see that she is getting weaker day by day. I can hear dark circles and I know I am the only one to be blamed here.
In this one week I was not able to gather the courage and tell her everything but today when I saw her coming out of her car in front of the office building my heart broke into a million pieces.
She was looking so weak and fragile so I decided today I have to do this anyhow because I can’t see her like this, breaking every day and that too because of me.
So here I am sitting in the reception of her office. The receptionist told me to go to the 40th-floor reception and wait, as I don’t have an appointment with her.
I didn’t inform the receptionist that I am her husband; I told her that I am from Angie’s school. I think Nancy has given special privileges to Angie’s school people, so the receptionist didn’t ask me further questions. And told me to head to the 40th floor where Nancy’s office is, I took the lift and came to the 40th floor.
I left Zack behind to look after the work in my absence. I was waiting and mesmerized by the beauty of her office. I feel it’s way beautiful from my office. If she agrees to be back in my life I will get my office renovated by my wife.
I was in my thoughts only when I heard a commotion and I saw a girl came out of Nancy’s office and shouted please call ambulance “COE mam fainted”
I immediately ran towards Nancy’s office and saw her lying lifeless on the ground. I immediately picked her up in my arms and she weighed nothing. It was like I was carrying a five-year-old. It again pained in my heart.
I dashed out of her office carrying her in my arms, when people tried to stop me asking me “who are you?” “Leave Mam” but thank God Riya was here, when she noticed me she announced “he is Nancy’s husband” everyone backed off and I took Nancy to the nearest hospital.
Nancy’s POV
I woke up with a heavy head, I remember last I was working in my office, and now when I look around I am in my house in my bedroom. I slowly got up from my bed removing the blanket; the door of my room was open.
As I slowly walk out of my room I can smell good food in my kitchen because I can hear the sound from my kitchen. Once I reached down the sight in front of me froze me for a moment.
Owen was so busy cooking that he didn’t notice me standing a little far from him. He is wearing black pants and a black shirt, which is tucked in properly, and sleeves of the shirt are folded upwards.
