Chapter 9 Glimpse of past

"I hate him, I hate him, no no why am I even thinking about him, he can go to hell, fuck whomever he likes why do I care, my hands grabbed the papers I was reading, but I barely even glanced around them, all my mind lingered around that message I saw on his phone

It's was from a girl, who was saying that how amazing he was last night, and she really loves the branded expensive  lingerie set he gifted her today morning,  he spent the night with one of his nightstands

I can't even believe I'm gonna marry someone like him, he is a manwhore for real

I hate you!

I keep my hand over my head, breathing heavily, I quickly took the water bottle placed in front of me and gulped the whole in once

Suddenly a sharp pressure formed inside of me, and I coughed hard

Tears started coming out of my eyes

There is no way I will marry him, not in this fucking life

Never!

It's final, I will say a big official no to him

Yes, this is right for me, I just can't do this, as for Ivaan he is mature enough to solve his own life problems, I just can't marry that man, practically he forced with the threat of ruining Ivaan's life, but now I don't care Ivaan is not a child he can take care of himself

I was startled by the vibration of my phone, I glanced screen, my eyes lit up when I saw who is calling me

It's my uncle Mark

" How is my sweet little girl," his voice  brings a smile to me

"I'm angry with you, you're not here when I returned back from San Francisco," I pouted

"I'm so sorry my doll, I promise I will make it up to you, where are you,"

"I'm at the company," I said while playing with papers

"Okay, when you will be free, you directly come here to meet me," I said

"Yes, I will once my work will be over, I will directly cone," I said cheekily

I really love my Uncle so much, he is my second father and also my Godfather, he was always there to encourage and to give me strength whenever I used to feel low or discouraged, he actually complete the place of my Dad

I remember that incident when I was in school

Brielle's Past

I was playing in basketball with my only friend Faith

"Faith, what do you think, will be our future, you know I'm not so very good at studies and we have final exams next week," I growled while throwing the basketball away and sitting On the bench of our school sports ground

"I just don't know, same goes on me too, I'm also not so very good, on Maths especially" she smiled sheepishly while drinking the water from her bottle

We both are very week on our studies especially on Maths subject and trust me it sucks, I just hate maths, it always goes over from my head

I just don't understand how some peoples do engineering, I mean my cousin sister, Ada she is older than me and the daughter of my maternal aunt

She is always so good at maths, even she got admission to one of the most

renowned University for engineering

My family cousins are always very bright and excellent at their studies except me, I always feel like out of their league

But, I'm very grateful that I have my best friend Faith with me, she also know how it feels when you're not so good at studies, even she actually managed to get a pass in her exams unlike me who either gets fail or get a re-exam

I also didn't understand why I'm not able to study maths, or even get passing marks in it, I mean it's not impossible but what can I do my mind always fails to understand maths and because of my weak performance in my studies, my teachers also dislike me and keep me away from any opportunity, like last month there is a seminar of General Knowledge quiz and principal asks teachers who encourage and select a team of four students and teach them and prepare in extra hours after the school hours over in library about general science

I'm sure if they have chosen me then I would perform my best because I'm weak only in maths not in other subjects but the teachers in my school are the best examples of hypocrites that's why I hate them

Day of exam

I clutched the much where I have kept my pen and pencils I rubbed my neck while gulping and went towards the notice board

I just hope, they didn't make me sit on the first bench of the exam hall, the sitting arrangements for our exams were based on our roll number wise

Sometimes it happens that my roll number comes on the first bench as per sitting arrangements

But, my eyes lit up, and an unexpected smile appears on my face when I saw my place is at the last bench and my best former Faith, her is just above me second the last one

Wow, seems like this time I'm not gonna fail in exams, I giggled and bounced in the exams hall

I sit up giggling, finally, God heard me

Faith also comes and soon other students also started coming

I quickly waved at her, she look at me and smiled but, her smile didn't reach to her eyes like she was not pleased to see me

I shook my head and ignored this feeling, I must concentrate on the positive side of life, not on these negative thoughts

I am grateful to have a friend like her indeed I'm so lucky

"Sis, please help me if I didn't know a question," I smiled sheepishly at her

"Quiet," she eyed me then looked away

She was behaving like I'm her enemy, what's wrong with her.
