EPISODE 23
Johnny was so upset when he went back to his office. He was the head of the I.T department and he didn’t know that Stacy started coming to work. Worst is, she insisted of not knowing him. Did she really mean it when she said that she doesn’t know him? impossible! He punched his desk.
How could Stacy forget about him easily? Stacy told him before that he, Johnny, was her First love and Stacy was also his first love. They’ve been avidly in love for almost 3 years even when Stacy married Ethan. The reason he applied at Saphiro Gentz was to somehow gets close to Stacy more and more. It was just a couple of months when he lost his contact with her.
6 years ago, Stacy and Johnny met in an art symposium. It was a 3 days’ symposium and within that 3 days they were able to know each other’s background. Stacy was still single that time as well as Johnny. Even after the art symposium they continued to see each other until they totally fell in love.
After a year, Johnny planned a marriage proposal to Stacy. However, Stacy told him about her marriage arrangement to Ethan. Johnny suggested they should run away from her parents but Stacy declined. She owned her life to her adoptive father. Stacy told him that the marriage would only last for 2 years so Johnny waited. They were seeing each other in that span of time. however, the 2 years was extended to 4 years. Johnny was so angry but he can’t do anything about it as well as Stacy so he patiently waited for her.
But it seems like the Stacy he saw earlier was a new person. He can sense something is not right but he can’t point it out. But he doesn’t care, he nee-ds to see her again.
***
Stacy was left alone in the office today since Caleb accompanied Lisa at home. she was in pain when she last saw her. She finished reading and making necessary editing on her project proposal. She nee-ds to present it to Ethan tomorrow. It was already late when she prepared to leave.
She yawns as she exited the building. She was deciding whether to sleep at Lisa’s apartment or at Hunter’s house instead. She nee-ds to grab a taxi if she wanted to sleep over at Lisa’s apartment. If it was at Hunter’s place, then she has to take the bus. Or should she go back to her apartment instead? It’s a little bit risky, she thought. What about a hotel instead? She shrugs that thought.
“Or should I just go back home?” She frowned when she remembered Eli. “ahhh, I miss him badly.” She murmured.
“Or should you want to go home with me instead?” A man whispered in her ears seductively. She shivered. She looked at him.
“You!” she glared at him.
“Yes! It’s me, Johnny. Your one and only!” he smiled sheepishly. “Look, I know why you pretended that you don’t know me earlier. It’s probably because Ethan was there. But we can resume what we always do before. I know you missed me too.” He is seducing her. He was inching a little closer to her, Aisha stepped backwards.
“I’m sorry but whatever happened in the past, I hope you can forget it. I’m not the same person you knew before!’ She explained. Johnny was pissed off with what she said.
“Do you think I’ve waited for you for 5 years just for nothing? Stacy, you know what I did for you and you also know what I can do to you,” Now he’s threatening her. He was about to clutch her arm but Aisha was quick to twist her hand behind him. he growled in pain.
“Threatening me is your biggest mistake, young man! I’m warning you, don’t ever come close to me again!” she yelled, “I really don’t care what happened in the past but you will definitely regret it if you ever bother me again!” she pushed him ha-rd, Johnny stumbled on the road while Aisha run towards the Bus station.
“Tsk!” Johnny jeered at her. “Do you think I will easily give up on you? Don’t test my patience Stacy or else I might destroy your image in front of your husband and to the whole world!” he scoffed.
Aisha left the helpless Johnny on the other side of the road. She was so upset when the man tried to haras-s her.
“Damn you Stacy! Just how many more surprises do I have to know about you!” She stro-kes her temples.

It was 10am when Aisha decided to go and see Ethan to present the revised project proposal, however Dorothy, his secretary said that he is currently in a meeting and will be in his office after seven minutes. Aisha decided to wait inside his office. After a while, the door opened but to her surprise it was not Ethan.
“Angel!” she clenched her fist. The other woman looked at her from head to toe. Angel snorted.
“Stacy! It’s nice to see you. I heard you broke up with Ethan. I hope you don’t mind my presence here.” She was provoking her.
“I really don’t know how and where did you get your story line, but just to correct your statement, there’s no such thing as break-ups when it comes to our relationship. And whatever our misun-derstanding is; you’re out of it. So If I were you, I better hurry outside if you still love your life.” Aisha was calming her nerves.
“Huh! You one to talk Stacy! Did you forget that you were the one who insisted divorce a few months ago before your accident? The whole world knew about your infidelity towards your husband! So I just want to remind you that It was you who started everything!” Angel exclaim.
“What exactly are you talking about, huh?” Aisha was surprise. She knew her sister ask for divorce but the infidelity is another shock for her. Angel raised her brow. She was surprise at Stacy’s innocent look. Did she forget about her past?
“Play dump all you want Stacy, but there’s an end for everything! Even when you married Ethan, you’ve been seeing some unknown guy. worst thing? It’s not just one but three men! Stacy! You’ve been sleeping with three men! Ethan knew about that but since he is stupid, he kept forgiving you!”
“N-No! T-That’s not true!” she staggers. Aisha felt an ice bucket were thrown at her. she froze. No, her twin sister is not like that. She was innocent, yes, just like when they were young, Stacy was always innocent. She encouraged herself. Angel was annoyed to see her surprise look.
“God must have punished you because of your infidelity so he made you infertile. If we really think about it, Ethan considered you a lot of times! He even hired a surrogate mother so the people won’t ridicule you because of your barrenness! But despites the things that he did, what have you done?” Angel wanted to insult her further.
“You should be thankful to me after all. I’m giving your husband the happiness that he nee-ds. I guess she can’t get enough from you since he seems like a hungry wolf consuming me during that night,” Angel taunt her a little more.
“So you are saying that I should be okay with what you’re doing to Ethan, is that correct?” Aisha was keeping her best to maintain her composure.
“No! It’s more than that.,” Angel went near her then she whispered in her ears, “I want you to divorce him!” Angel fell down instantly. The for-ce of Aisha’s palm in her cheeks was ha-rd enough to make her sit on the floor.
“How dare you slap me, you !” Angel scream. Aisha sat on top of her, then she held her ne-ck. Angel was chocking, but she slapped her other cheek as ha-rd as she can, then she slapped her again—then again—then again. Angel tried to reach her hair, she tried to pull it but Aisha was able to regain her composure. Aisha stood up then she grabbed her hair then pinned her at Ethan’s desk. Angel was trying to fight back. She was able to graze Aisha’s arms and a bit of her ne-ck but she got some cuts and bruises already on her face. Her face was as red as a tomato due to Aisha’s slap earlier.
Dorothy can hear glas-ses breaking inside. She knew that the moment Angel stepped inside Ethan’s office — with Stacy there, it would be a disaster. She decided not to call Ethan. There’s at least 3 minutes before the meeting finishe. Anyway, Dorothy has confidence that Stacy would be able to handle herself.
Ethan’s office was a mess, as well as the two woman fighting inside. Aisha pulled off a lot of angel’s hair, even her extension was fully ruined. Aisha finally lock her on the wall.
“I can definitely kill you right now if I wanted to.” Aisha said, “I already warned you before not to get close to my husband but you didn’t listen. I don’t care what happen in the past and what happen to you before, but I care about what is happening now! once again let me tell you in case you have forgotten it, what’s mine is mine! Don’t you dare go near him again or else I will definitely kill you with my own hands!” she threatened her. She kicked her in her sides before letting her go. Angel glared at her as she fixed herself. Her dress was ruined as well as her make-up, she got bruises all around her body. She was so upset when she saw that she only grazes Aisha.
“And one more thing, I’m not actually convince if you really had a great time that night with my husband. Coz I think I heard the bartender of that bar who clearly told me that my husband was very drunk that night. he can’t even distinguish what’s real from what’s not. So are you really sure that something happened THAT NIGHT?” Aisha was taunting her. The bartender told her that Ethan doze off to sleep at the counter that night.
When Aisha turned around to leave her, Angel pick up a broken glas-s and was about to stab Aisha but she dodged it by using her arm as a shield, Aisha kicked her ha-rd in the stomach then she gave an all-out punch on her face. Angel spit some blood when she landed on the floor.
The door finally opened and Ethan was so surprise to see how messy his office is. Broken glas-ses are everywhere. Larry and Dorothy was shock as well.
“Stacy? Angel?”! he roared. Angel stood up hastily then she run towards Ethan then she holds her arm..
“It was all her fault!” Angel talked pitifully as she pointed out towards her. Aisha was holding her arm that was stab. The glas-s was still un-der her skin. Blood was oozing from her arm. Ethan’s eyes wide-ned.
“Stacy!” he gets rid of Angel’s hands then he run towards Stacy, “What are you doing? Bring me the first aid kit!” he yelled at Larry and Dorothy. Ethan made her sit in the couch as he removed the glas-s in her skin. Aisha yelp in pain. Ethan pulled his handkerchief and put it at her wounds to prevent the blood from coming out. Angel was dumbfounded. Did Ethan just ignored her? she was also hurt.
Dorothy bought the first aid kit to Ethan while Larry was calling their company doctor. Angel was just standing in a corner. She was so upset. After a while, the doctor and a nurse came. The doctor treated Aisha while the nurse treated Angel.
“What exactly happened?” Ethan was angry. Aisha didn’t answer but Angel was quick to sabotage her.
“It was Stacy! can’t you see what she did to me?” Angel said sarcastically. Ethan looked at Angel disappointedly. What is she even doing here? He didn’t invite her at all! Then he averted his eyes to Stacy, she looked away.
“Serves you right!” Aisha mumbles as she rolled her eyes. but still, they were able to hear her.
