Illusion Of Love : Truth Blindfolded And Scars

Chapter 3: bidding farewell

MIA'S POV

It was 6 pm already and I was waiting for Shane's call. I wish that the deal was in his favor.

This contract with the foreign delegates was his dream collaboration.

Shane always wished to be a part of this company because the funds raised from the events and album would be all donated to a welfare organization,working under an entertainment company was never easy for him and this only made it difficult for Nick and Jordan.

I've tried contacting Shane. His meeting was supposed to end ages ago, it's mid 12.

I was worried and had many questions.

What if the deal didn't happen?

What will Shane do?

His career?

His brothers?

Meanwhile, I get a text from Shane which reads:

'Meet me at the garden, Next to your house. I am waiting.'

THIRD PERSON POV

Who would have known that a text would change their lives forever. It is time, when everything changes forever and lives involved in this 'game of life' would suffer a 360 degree turn.

After reading the text, Mia's mind becomes fussy.

'What's wrong with him and the deal?' Was her only concern.

She was all alone in the house, punching the biometric locking the door she rushed towards the garden.

A situation like this seems to be romantic, where your lover is waiting for you in a quiet romantic atmosphere,with no one around. The breeze becomes your companion and the garden becomes a perfect place for confessions, moon being your witness and the metal white painted garden chair for 2 adds the cherry on top.

With in no time Mia reached the garden area and spotted Shane sitting on the garden chair, His back facing her. Time was like a ticking bomb for both of them.Their hearts being overwhelmed with emotions.

Mia ran to get her last thread of hope and in seconds Shane's back was engulfed in Mia's arm.

Without giving a glance at her he knew it was her.

"Mia" Shane tightens his grip on Mia's arms, his eyes tight shut trying to ease the uneasiness he felt for hours and after a few seconds which felt like ages he faced her.

MIA'S POV

I tried reading his eyes which were full of sorrows and confusion.

"You okay?" I ask.

He just shrugged and pulled me to his embrace.

"Wait! Was he crying?" I looked at him cupping his face with my palm.

"What's the matter?" I try to console him.

"It's okay! This was not the only chance."

He jerks my hand, getting up from his seat, taking a few steps forward and showing his back to me.

" The contract has been signed." He says."Then what's the matter?" I ask him in confusion and walk by his side.

He finally faces me and holds my hand and makes me sit on the chair, where he was previously sitting.

He kneels beside me and staggered

"The contract has been signed, But it has a co. n..dit..ion!"

I furrowed my brows, And asked him " what condition!" My heart starts pounding wildly.
