View MorePhoebe's POV"Five…" I grabbed the hand of the man who was confident enough to approach me when I was at my darkest moment.I twisted his hand and I heard him scream, and I liked the expression on his face as I locked my arms around his neck and tightened my grip until he passed out.I dropped his body on the floor and sighed as I watched the startled face of the other men in front of me, especially my stepfather's face.I wore a fierce and determined expression on my face and stared at them with burning eyes with a mixture of fear and defiance. They were scared to see one of their men lying on the floor, lifeless, I smirked at the sight in front of me. Unfortunately for me, that didn't scare them much rather, they were determined to kick my a***. Phoebe expected the reactions of the men and positioned herself, looking around to find something strong enough to hit her opponents but unfortunately nothing. "I-is he dead", one of the men asked while stammering. Phoebe sighed and brus
Phoebe's POVI felt dizzy and nauseous, everything was blurry, and I couldn't figure out where I was or who was standing in front of me.The last thing I remember was being at the bus stop and talking to someone who I can't remember his face. I could only open my eyes after I felt cold water splashed on me. I felt cold and coughed loud enough for my lungs to cry out.Then I heard a male voice talking to me "Waki, waki! You are finally awake Phoebe"I recognized the voice, and my vision became clearer now. I blinked about three times and shook my head to clear the wet hair covering my face.I was finally able to see now and I was able to identify the man in front of me as my step-father. He was laughing his lungs out and sneering at me like I was his prey I found it irritating and disgusting.I scanned around me to find out where I was but I found myself in an unfamiliar place. One window and one door and it seemed it was an uncompleted building since there were only cements and blo
What!" Eric was baffled by the strange call, "a girlfriend? who? I don't have any girlfriend so.." he asked himself so many questions and the only name that popped into his head was Diana.But that can't be possible, he knew how complicated his relationship was with Diana and there was no way of solving it since he was the root of the problem. So who was he talking about, or probably it a prank or he got the wrong person, he thought to himself.He wasn't the only one who was shocked by the sudden call. His two brothers were agitated and he dared not to look at his grandfather's face. He knew exactly what expression he was wearing."Mr. It seems you got the wrong person, for I do not have a girl…"The man interjected, "Ahh, so typical of rich people dating low-standard ladies"His statement made Eric feel sick in his stomach, his eyebrows frown, he was getting irritated with the man who seem to be enjoying playing tricks on him."So you are denying your relationship with Phoebe Meyers
At the bus stop..."You finally came to find me, stepfather," Phoebe said to the stranger with a smile.He stepped closer to her wearing a suspicious smile."You haven't changed a bit, still the naive and stupid little girl you have always been," he said to her.She looked at him nonchalantly and stood up. "Hmmm it seems that is how you see me, what can I say, my face and appearance speak for themselves""What do you say we grab a bit" he offered. "Tsk, you must be in a good mood to offer me a drink" she scoffed."Who said anything about a drink?" he added."Huh" Before she knew it, she was hit by something strong enough to make her fall unconscious. She felt dizzy and her head started to spin around her and was unable to stand properly.She was about to fall when her stepfather grabbed her and smiled devilishly."Never trust anyone, I guess your mama never taught you that" he whispered to himself and carried her on his shoulders and left in a car that drove by.Singapore...Eric h
Phoebe POV;I am lost, drowning in my past pains. I look at myself in the mirror and all I could see was a reflection of someone I couldn't recognize anymore. After Chang left, I felt empty and couldn't recognize what I was feeling. I wanted to laugh out loud at how silly and foolish I had become.I didn't bother asking permission to leave the office and took my bag and left without a word.A few steps away from the company my phone rang and so I picked it up knowing who it was."Hello""Just as you predicted he is back and he assaulted your mother and brother" the person informed me.I was not shocked, I tilted my head and breath in and out."Thanks for the information. I am coming home".I went back to Eric's house, threw my bag somewhere, and sat on the bed with my face in my palm. I went to the washroom and washed my face, with my wet face I stared at myself in the mirror.For a moment I felt dizzy and so I closed my eyes and shook my head and opened it again."Oh dear, you can'
What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked.""You know what I meant"."I don't". Chang chuckled "So this is how you going to end this? If you had told me you were in love with him I wouldn't have bothered confessing," he said to her. She wasn't expecting his response. She noticed how everyone's attention was on them and turned to apologize to Eric."I am sorry but I will like that speak to Chang privately if you permit" Eric was hesitant to give his consent but he knew he had to give them space to handle the situation. "Do you need his permission now to speak to me?" Chang pointed.She sighed at his response and grabbed his hand forcefully and dragged him out of the building."Back to work now" Eric ordered. They were facing each other. "Look Chang I don't know where you heard that ridiculous idea but I have nothing to say to you because I said what I had to say that day" she explained.Her words cut so deep into his heart and he didn't know what to say or how to react to her res
An hour ago...Evelyn and Kobby who had just finished talking to their families and guests saw Eric being disturbed by some of their guests.They decided to help him escape the attentions he was getting and smiled at the thought of it.They walked toward him and pleaded for them to give way. "Please excuse us" Kobby pleaded until they were finally able to reach him. "Sorry Mr. Hong for all this, if we knew this would happen we wouldn't have invited you in the first place" Kobby apologized. "No harm caused. It's not the first and won't be the last so no need to fret about it" he assured them."Erm yes of course but yet still we apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for coming," Evelyn said to him. She smiled widely at him, which clearly showed her admiration for him. Kobby cleared his throat sending signals to his newlywed. "Erm sorry where is Phoebe?" she asked."She is probably somewhere" he answered. "Oh ok I will just look for her before we leave," she said to him and
Phoebe POV:"Cat" I called her out. I was quite shocked to see her here but not surprised because I knew how deep her friendship with Kobby was.She immediately jumped on me and hugged me so tight. I couldn't breathe so I had to tap on her arms for her to loosen her grip. I noticed Eric staring at us, I didn't mind because I didn't want the attention we had earlier but I was just deceiving myself.After loosening her grip on my neck, she turned and saw Eric standing a few steps away from me since I immediately pulled away after our lips touched. "Eric!!, no, is this Eric Hong? Ahaaaa!!!" She screamed making me jolt from her scream.She pulled away from me and went to him, catching the attention of the other guests screaming his name. "Is this his debut concert or a wedding" I wondered. Thankfully his bodyguards were around to protect him from his fans getting too touchy. Watching how the ladies surrounded him and screamed his name out made me realize how far our world is apart.
