Beyond The Hurt

Samuel's POV

My life had been a rollercoaster of emotions ever since angel left, at first I wasn't even able to talk to her parents too and i lost it cause i felt like i lost the last link of connection i had to her
I finally managed to convince Aunt blessing and got back on her good side but not before she scolded me and basically threatened me that if i were to make the same mistake again then the one castrating me wouldn't be angel but rather her, I remember getting shivers down my spine when she said that

When angel clarified her feelings for me, I was shocked cause she couldn't like me, I treated her badly and I literally called her a mistake to her face, It felt like I was being forced to eat my own tongue and that didn't feel good at all

Even after all that happened, I always envisioned how we were going to meet when she came back home and how I was going to make things right with her and all that shit but now all that has gone down the drain

I saw her yesterday and I couldn't believe my eyes, truly she has grown more beautiful but I felt like I didn't know the person facing me and it hurts like hell

She treated me like I was a stranger and maybe I deserved that but there was something totally different about her but I couldn't quite put my head around

"Samuel, when are you going to leave your room ?" My mum barges into my room and interrupts my brainstorming

"Probably never"

"Samuel, do not cross me this morning"

"Fine, I'll be downstairs soon"

"Alright" thinking she left me to enjoy the little time I have alone in peace, I continue looking into space until I heard her clear her throat

"Hmm hmm"

"What else do you want mum?"

" You do know you have to be at work today right ? "

Yeah right, I have to go to work "of course, I'll be down in a minute"

"You don't have a minute Sam, your father is leaving very soon and he wants the two of you to go to the company together this morning "

" God, why ?, we go separately on a daily basis, why does he want to go together today ? " Of course I know why he wants us to go together, we have been arguing a lot and rumours have spread so he's thinking of curbing them by acting all lovey and shit. If he was being genuine that would have been better but instead he's just pretending to be all that

" He wants the two of you going together as from today to show he cares for you"

"You mean to show that we've reconciled?"

"Sam, you do not disrespect your father in that manner"

"Fine, leave me alone"

"Be downstairs soon, love you"
I don't reply cause I don't even have it in me to.
I might not have said it earlier but I now work at my father's company. Initially I started as an intern there against my wish might I add and then he decided that he was gonna hand the company over to me cause he felt I was worthy of it like he said, he told me after i finished my internship that I had to continue coming to the company not as an employee but as his son that was going to take over the company at the right time to "look at the way things are being done" in the company so I would know what to do when I take over and that I had been doing up until last week.

*Flashback*

" Dad, you can not keep doing this"

" Doing what son?"
