love through you

chapter 10

The rain fell hard on a sunday night. It was quite a week for her. She filed an indefinite leave from her company and gladly she has some people who are really trust-worthy to let her handle them the company for the meantime. She started to pack her clothes and necessary things for her travel. It's been two months since she and Brad crossed paths and she's happy what happened to them that night. It helped her to move on easily. Someone knocked on the door, she saw Samantha.

"Hey! Don't forget to call me okay? I'll send you all the reports." She handed her her documents and passport. "Thanks! I thought i'm going to have an indefinite leave?" She smiled at her. Samantha is one of the people whom she trust the most. They grew up together and almost every thing they do is together. "Oh! If you forgot, you own a company." She threw two pillows at her, they laughed together that's what they do. "Thanks Sam...see in 10 years then." Sam slightly punch her at her arms. "Shut up!" Angie giggles.

Angie grins at the apartment that she bought. It's already fully furnished thanks to her architect friend whose base is England. She found herself sitting on a ball chair facing the glass wall where she can see nothing but the lights at night. It's beautiful.

It's going to be a different year from now on. She wants to find reason to keep alive. She lost her dad, her love, and she needed to find that reason in her life. Though it's business and pleasure she can't wait what life has to offer to her.

Two years later...

"Why do you have to do this? You know it will be chaotic." Albert keeps on walking back and forth in front of him. Yes, he just took the management from the Smith family. "I said do not worry Albert. It's fine. I'm just doing this for the sake of the both companies and sooner or later we'll merge with them." Albert finally settled, he sat at his couch looking unbelievable. "Are you doing this because of Angie?" He raised his eyes on him. "You can go now." Albert didn't wait a second to walk out, he knows him so well.

Brad opened his laptop and as expected his email is flooded with Angie's mails. More than 2 years he didn't hear anything from her until now. "So let's see if i can make you home honey." He closed his laptop and leaned on his chair as smile filled his face.

"What the hell happened?!" She slammed her hands on the table, the coffees almost shookt. "Angie, I'm so sorry we tried everything but he has documents that he will be able to manage this company." She embraced herself. "Are you kidding me? He can't have the management. What documents?" Samantha gave her an envelope. "It's your father's will that you never read. He's in the will. He can have the management of this company and he told us that he wants to merge his company on ours." She get the documents but did not read it. "Okay...i think some other way." She said. "For the meantime, meeting adjourn." She stayed sitting on the chair, samantha stayed too.

"Why are you still here?" She asked her. "You haven't read the will."

"No need. You already told me what's on it." She touched her lips sliding it from the side to another.

"Not really. You want the management?" She looked at her. "That is an odd question, of course i do. Dad worked hard on this."

"It's stated in the will if ever you wanted to have the company, you have to securely marry Brad." Angie bowed her head in dismayal.

"And...legally it will be yours after a year of your marriage." She landed her face on the table.

"This - is - unbelievable!" She shouted. "I know! But it's the only way out here Ange. And by the way, he wants to have a meeting with you. Just the two of you. He said." Angie sighed deeply, she can't think anything. A ridiculous deal from her father with facing you ex in a not so good manner.

"Okay, tell him i'll meet him." She fixed herself. "He wanted you to see at his Pad. 7pm sharp." She turned around and get out. "Ange! I'll send you his address!" She said while she leaves. "Ahhh!" Samantha giggles.

"This is the craziest thing ever!" She said while pressing the door bell outside Brad's pad. 10 minutes have passed but still no one's opening the door. "This is insane." She told herself. She was about to get away from the place when the door opened. She stopped.

"I'm sorry...i just finished taking a shower." Well Angie can tell. He is half naked and yes, still wet. "Come in." She went inside and sit on the couch. Brad sat too.

"Are you kidding me? You're going to talk to me half naked?" She saw his head lower and smiled.

"Oh sorry..." he stood up. "I was just amazed how you became more beautiful now." Brad turned around from her as he walk to a room, a glass room. Yes, she can see everything. Brad gets off the tower from his body. Luckily, there is still portion of that room she may not be able to see.

"Goodness..." she told herself. She bowed her head and lean on the couch.

"Sorry for waiting. Come on, let's eat first." She stood up following him. She noticed that his whole pad is almost glass even the bathroom except for the comfort room.

"It's weird that everything here is made of glass." He stopped and turn around to face her. "I intend that so i can see every part of you." She tried to neglect that for embarassment. She continued to walk. She was stunned by the dining area.

"Impressed?" Angie saw a big tree inside the dining area. A place is as almost has a hole to protect the tree. "They told me it's a 300 year old tree so when i built this i intended it to be like a hole inside but don't worry we'll never be wet in the future...it's glass." Brad knocked on the part where the tree is standing. He pull one of the chair. She saw a chair next to hers, not so distant. The way they were used to be.

"Thank you." She said coldly. "Why do you want us to meet?"

Brad sat next to her and face her. He did not respond as if searching her face for something. Angie felt awkward so she turned her face somewhere else.

"You're really asking me why? We need to talk on our wedding. You love your dad's company right?"

"Why are you doing this?" She asked him with confusion but he just smiled.

"Can we forget everything ange and start all over again?" He said.
