5 years ago...

Chapter 2

Ivan's POV.

Sitting in the living room needing a distraction, I studied my sister Chloe who was hell bent on watching today's entertainment news, as she sat with so much keen and anxiety that I got worried.

''heyy... what's so important about this. don't you know the game is on...''

''Ivan,you could go watch it anywhere else in this house but not here, this is really important...''she said distractedly , her eyes not leaving the t.v screen one minute.

''you're so disrespectful . ''grabbing my phone as she started squealing probably the show starting,

''Ugh!" I groaned getting up frustrated from the chair to leave.

"first on entertainment news, top model Alexandra Terrence is back in Los Angeles but definitely not alone but with supposed daughter Aubrey, an inside source told." I heard the newscaster say gaining my undivided attention as I turned back towads the t.v to a smiling Chloe.

Alex...back? After five years?

And with a daughter?

"Oh yes! She's back. She finally came back." Chloe yelled, jumping around, I falling back on the chair face in palms confused.

I didn't knw she was married...

"Ivan...you okay?" she asked. Her voiced laced with concern.

"I get it...you're sad she's back and has a daughter, probably married..." she shrugged."But why do you care? Anyways you're with Barbara." Walking away.

A wave of guilt flushed through me when I realized the fact I was engaged to her ex-bestfriend.

Why do I even care?

She was the one who left without a proper goodbye just a flimsy note of pure hatred.

"Ivan....what's wrong? You're all red..." my mother had come in unnoticed.

"Alexandra's back...for good" chloe blurted leading me to give her a death glare.

"That's why you're like this. It happened five years ago and she broke your heart, now you're with Barbara, such a sweet girl that makes you happy and you'll be married soon"

All this was being said as I remained in the same position entered an ear and out through the other.

How could she do this?

She promised to have my kids only?

But I guess promises are meant to be broken.

"C'mon, go watch your match while I ask the chef to prepare that tomato soup you like a lot." My mom urged, getting me off the chair.

Not even the match could sway my thoughts from her.

She was carved in my heart.

But for the sake of peace whatever happened five years ago stayed there.
