Love scars

Chapter-3

Julian's (pov)

It's already a month... I haven't seen Ryan anywhere, anymore, in the business meetings, occasions, party, or in gala , business party, social gatherings etc.,He totally disappeared.

I can't believe it that, I had a one night stand with the famous billionaire. If the media's knew what happened between us , we would have been a huge talk around the world. *But luckily no one knew about it.

I take a sip of my coffee that has been sitting on my table for about 10 minutes. I just can't stop thinking about Ryan. I mean, of course! I'm not in love, but the fact that he was my first makes me feel so dumb and sheepish.

I gaze over the city from the huge window, as the daylight sun reflects slightly into my office making it gleam more. The city is busy with mankind going about their own business, vendors calling out to any customers they see, while the street bustles with activity. Youngsters wander around in their thin silk dresses and shorts. My reverie is disturbed as I hear a knock on the door.

"Ma'am "Oliver knocks at my door again.

" Oh! Yes ,come in". I turn my chair and look at him. Oliver has been working with me for 5 years, and I'm very lucky to have him as my personal assistant. His face is radiant with intelligence. Oliver takes care of every meeting and schedule like a professional. There were vague rumors that he could solve any problem that was given to him in five minutes, which I certainly did not believe, until the day he proved me wrong.

" You have a meeting coming right up in 30 minutes " His tone is vigorous as ever.

" Alright you can go "
I didn't intend to ask him with whom we were having the meeting. It would have probably been some businessman from another country looking to invest in our company, as usual. Without another word, Oliver wandered off, shutting the door behind him.

I gaze down at the frame on my desk. My mom and dad's delighted smiles. They both look young and fragile. A tear slips down my cheek. I miss them a lot. It's already been 10 years since they passed away.They were murdered by someone, and I'm not going to forgive that particular person ever. I caress the frame with my fingers. Trying to fill in the memories I had with them.The glass is cold and smooth, but my fingertips tremble with the weight of loss. I trace the faded lines of their faces,their smiles, their laughter, their tears but the images are fragmented ,like shards of a broken mirror. I close my eyes and try to remember,the sound of their voices, the warmth of their embrace. But the memories are elusive, like smoke drifting away on the wind. I open my eyes and stare at the empty frame,a symbol of what was and can never be again.The pain is still raw, the wound still fresh and I am left with only the echoes of the past. But I will not let the memories fade, I will cherish them, even in their brokenness.
For they are all I have left of those I loved,
And they are the only way I can keep them close.

I wipe my tears away. I had to attend an upcoming meeting, so I keep the frame on the desk gently because that's the only picture of my parents,  I have with me. I put on my coat and head  straight to the conference room.

"Oliver, with whom are we having the meeting?" I ask while arranging the papers in the file he handed me.

"It's with the Shrekhold's Company, ma'am," he replied. As soon as I heard that, I was blank. I mean, why would the Shrekhold's Company want to have a meeting with us? It was abrupt to me. Over the decades, we never had any agreements or business deals. Something is just really odd, and I vaguely remember if we had any deals to make. What do they want?I handed the file to Oliver without a word. I was staggered.

Ryan Shrekhold.
The first - and only -man
Who took my virginity.
Will he be there ? I hope he's not.

Thoughts filling up my whole mind, my nerves were rushing away as my heart beats faster. It's just a normal meeting, nothing else... yeah...

Ryan would have probably forgotten me. It's just a coincidence. Calm down.
I stride down the conference room. The sound of my heels clicking on the marble floors as my heart beats solely . I push open the door with my gaze on the floor, not wanting to face the one and only person.

Damn it!

I take a deep breath and look up to say something, but as soon as I saw him, everything turned upside down. My smile died a quick death after I saw him. Cold tendrils of shock slithered down my spine. I couldn't say a word as something choked my throat.
Am I imagining him? No...
It's really him! Fuck!

In the depths of my being, where memories reside, I beheld a familiar sight that sent shivers down my spine. The piercing grey eyes, the raven locks, and the chiseled cheekbones—all attributes of the man who had once possessed my innocence. His gaze held me captive, penetrating the depths of my soul like a sharp blade.

As our eyes met, a surge of emotions washed over me, threatening to consume me whole. The man who had taken my virginity now stood before me, a living embodiment of my shattered dreams.

My heart pounded in my chest as i realized the identity of the man standing before me : the famous billionaire with whom i had a one-night stand. The man who had taken my  virginity.

A whirlwind of emotions washed over me: shock, disbelief, trepidation. I  never expected to see him again, and certainly not under these circumstances.

I'm totally screwed!
