LOGAN’S POINT OF VIEW

I am such a fool, Isabel has been nothing but a good human and t ruined everything. What I did in the past was to protect her and I wish there was another way.

She wanted to tell me that night. I remember cutting her off and now making her cry. Each time I remember that night, I was unable to sleep. It hurts so much.

My life could have been different. I should have seen the evil schemes of Jade and her father but I didn’t. Instead, I had given in so fast without doing more investigations.

“I am so sorry Isabel. I am the worst being ever on this earth. I am sorry for hurting you and for making you go through all of that. I whispered, firmly hugging her as she cried in my arms

I hurt her and made her go through a lot. I cannot even begin to comprehend all that she must have gone through. She went through a lot, raising those kids by herself with so much difficulty.

I failed her. I promised her but broke it off. I don’t think I’d ever be able to make it up to her but I vow to myself to make it up to her for the rest of my life..

“You hurt me! You hurt me so much! You broke my heart. You…

“Shhh.” I patted her back, muttering words of apologies to her.

“I never meant to hurt you. I’m so sorry that I did. I am sorry for breaking up ur heart. Please forgive me. I promise to do right by you. I promise to do right by the twins for the rest of my life. Give me a have Isabel, I pleaded, tears forming in my

eyes.

“You…” she exhaled deeply, pulling away from me.

The minute my eyes met hers, I wiped the tears from her eyes.

“It’s going to be fine. I won’t ever make you cry. I promise with my life that I’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy. I won’t make you regret it again.” I vowed.

“I… I don’t think I can.”

“I don’t think I can let you back on my life Logan. I just can’t. I need some time to process all of this,” she said.

“I will give you as much time as you want but please don’t shut me out. I don’t think I’d be able to bear it,” I told her truthfully.

“You don’t have to. I don’t think I can. Don’t you get it? It’s been four years and as easy as you make it seem, it isn’t. I can’t just let you come into my life as if I’ve been living it just fine and besides you are married,” she stated.

“But…”

She cuts me off. “There is no but Logan. The past can’t be easily fixed. It’s happened and that’s fine but it can’t happen and concerning wanting to be a part of the kid’s life, I am going to consider that and that’s because I am their mother and I will do what’s best for them.”

“I get you. I’m not forcing it and I’m willing to wait for as long as you want but at least give me some time to see the kids. To get to know them and bond with them,” I pleaded.

I’am

“Is it hard for you to comprehend? I just stated that you cannot get to know them until I want you to. I am going to consider.

that so please it’s late already. I’m exhausted as it is so leave.” She exhaled deeply.

I wanted to speak to her but I knew her mind was already made up and I needed to give her space after all I made her cry that night.

“Alright. Goodnight Isabel.” I said.

She didn’t say anything. I turned to leave, hoping that one day things would be better and she wouldn’t be this angry with me as she was now.

I got into my car and left with a heavy heart. I was also happy and relieved because I got to know I was a dad and I felt bad because I could have known this for a long time but refused to.

My life was f ucked up and it was all thanks to Jade and her father, I will make sure to repay them ten times what they did.

ISABEL

Finally, he’s gone. It was hard for me not to break down. A lot has happened thanks to the many schemes in the past but that doesn’t change the present. The past happened and the best thing is to move on.

I was going to consider if I would let him back in my life or the twin’s life. As much as I felt something for him, I couldn’t let him back into my life. I wasn’t sure why but I knew I didn’t want to.

I decided to go back to my house when I heard someone call my name. I knew who it was without having to look at the person because the voice was familiar.

When I turned to look at Tim, he was coming towards me with frown on his face. He didn’t seem happy and it made me wonder. It was late and he was here which made me a little worried. I hope all was well with him.

“Tim. You…”

“You are nothing but a sneaky b itch!” He spat out before I couldn’t complete my statement, taking me in shock

“What are you…”

“Don’t you dare speak? I saw you and I saw you and him! You are nothing but a b itch! A sneaky b itch! You know how much 1 care about you yet you do this to me? You are back with him aren’t you?”

I was puzzled by his actions and his harsh words towards me. What was he talking about?

“What’s wrong with you?”

“What’s wrong with me? Everything is wrong with me! You know I want you and I pleaded with you to give me a chance yet you refused and now you want him? I saw the both of you! You hugged him! How could you? Is my feelings a joke to you? Did you just use me to make him jealous? 1 cannot believe you!” He spat out harshly.

I was startled by his tone. He was showing the attitude he showed that night. He had apologized the next day and I thought it was a one-time mistake but it seems it’s a part of him. How dare he come and accuse me of what I had no idea about?

How dare he call me names that I’m not. “I will not be tolerating any of this disrespect,” I warned, pointing my index finger at him.

“Disrespect? Oh, come on! I’m the one who has been disrespected! You have constantly disrespected me! I thought we’d have something going on by now but now I understand the reason for your delay. You want him and not me!”

“Can you even listen to yourself!” I voiced out irritated.

“What are you raining about and what do you mean I’m back with him? Have you gone mad? I haven’t done anything at all.

You can’t just see something and conclude and I won’t be appreciating you speaking to me in a way that I don’t like. Don’t call me names that I’m not okay?” I chided.

“What do you mean? Are you trying to say that you have nothing with him and he was trying to force himself on you?” He asked, his voice was softer than earlier.

“I don’t even know what the f uck is wrong with you and right now I can’t deal with this. Don’t show up in front of me anymore.” I warned before turning to leave.

1 felt him hold my arms and pull me towards him. “I can’t be without you Isabel. You can’t hurt me. You know how much I care about you so you can’t do this to me. Don’t break my heart.

I was taken aback by his attitude. What was wrong with him and why was he acting this way!”

“I’m so sorry for how I spoke earlier. I was just jealous. I thought you were with him. I was jealous that you have decided to go back to him after how he had treated him and after he abandoned you.”

I tried to get away from him. “Let me go!”

“I can’t. I’m sister for how I spoke. I shouldn’t have and that was bad of me. I apologize. Please don’t leave me because of this. I was just jealous and I made a mistake. Please forgive me.”

I huffed. I didn’t know exactly what to say to him. It was like he had bipolar disorder because why would he do something and then apologize the next minute?

“Let me go, Tim.” I demanded.

“Promise that you will speak to me.”

“Let me go, Tim,” I demanded again.

“I will let you go just promise me that you won’t walk away and you will give me a chance to talk to you. Please say yes.”

I didn’t know what to say but it was obvious he wouldn’t let me go unless I agreed so I decided to

“Alright.”

He slowly let go of me.

“What is it? You have five minutes to speak or I’m walking away because as you can see, it’s midnight and I need to rest.” I stated firmly.

“Alright.” He said and I didn’t fail to notice how he wiped his palm on his jeans.

“I’m so sorry for how I acted earlier. I saw him hug you and I thought that maybe you were both back together and it didn’t sit well with me. I wasn’t happy seeing both of you. I was jealous.

He continued. “I felt betrayed because I’d been waiting for your response on how you feel about me and giving us a try and then seeing that just made me lose my control. I’m so sorry and know I once apologized that you’d never see this side of me ever but I want to let you know that I mean it and I won’t be going back on my words. Please forgive me.”

I was honestly speechless that I didn’t know what to say to him.
