2020-10-20 05:04:11Once I got back home, I sent Hugo a message to say I got back okay. He had offered to take me home but I didn't want him to know where I live. It's not just him but everyone. I have to trust you for you to know such things and at this moment, Hugo is not there yet. Don't get me wrong I think he is trustworthy but a part of me can't let him in.
The next day Sally was coming round for a movie day. We tend to do this most Sunday, we just love to chill, eat a load of crap food and chat. What better way to do it.
Sally was in my kitchen heating up popcorn in the microwave while I was sorting out the pillows and blankets in the livingroom.
"Eveything is set up. Are you done yet!" I shouted from the livingroom.
"Yep!" Sally shouted directly behind me.
"Shit! Are you trying to give me a heart attack." I said while clutching my chest
"You are so easy to scare"
Sally was chuckling so hard I thought she might pee herself.
We almost got through all the snacks that we had by the time the film finished. While I was switching off the T.V Sally thought it would be a good idea to chuck a load of popcorn at my head.
"Hey. What was that for!" I said while chucking a pillow at her.
"Hey!" She yelled
We were both laying on the floor laughing our heads off. Both of us ended up covered in sticky sweets and popcorn and my livingroom looked a mess, but you know what, I don't care. It was good to have a laugh. I needed it.
Just as we were getting our breaths back my phone beeped. Sally picked up my phone and opened up the message.
"Why is some random number messaging you?" Sally asked with a confused face.
"I should be asking you that! Your the one who hands my number out to people" I raised my eyebrows at her.
"Once, I handed it out once.... so who is it?" Sally handed my phone to me.
"I don't know. I will ask" I replied to her.
Me - who is this?
Other person - it's Lewis, from last night. I hope you don't mind me messaging you. I would like us to meet up. I have some important stuff to talk to you about.
Me - can you please tell me how you got my number?
Lewis - That doesn't matter. Will you meet up with me? It's really important.
Me - Sorry. I don't think that is a good idea
Lewis - Please. I wouldn't do this if it wasn't important.
I decided to put down my phone. I looked at Sally and said
"It is a guy called Lewis. He is a friend of Hugos and we bumped into him last night while we were out" I shrugged
"Is he good looking, is he my type?" Sally asked with eagerness in her voice.
"I guess he is good looking, not my type but he is definitely yours" I smiled
"So, what did he want? Did he say how he got your number? As I definitely didn't give it to him" questioned Sally.
"He wants to meet, said it's important. He didn't say how he got my number, he said that isn't important" I let out a breath "I am not meeting him. I mean why would I, he could be anyone"
A week went by and Lewis had been messaging me every day asking to meet. I kept on saying no, after a few days he decided he would start calling, of course I ignored his calls. Why can't he take the hint. I was starting to get frustrated with him.
Today is normally mine and Sally's day of watching a movie and eating rubbish, but today I am going out with Hugo. I haven't seen him since the meal but we have had a few phone calls and messages.
I'm excited to see him.
He picked me up from down the road, I still haven't told him where I live and he hasn't put pressure on me to find out.
Once I got in his car I couldn't help but admire it, it was a silver Mercedes, I'm not sure on what model, as I'm not good with cars but I could tell it cost a lot of money just by the way it looks.
"Hey, you look beautiful"
I blushed at his comment. I was in my black skinny jeans and a white t-shirt. Nothing fancy but I felt comfortable in it.
Still blushing I said "Thanks. You look good to. So where is it we are going?"
"Mine" he said
After about 20 minutes drive, we pulled up to his house. I say house, it was more like a mansion, it was HUGE! I was shocked at the scale of the place.
"WOW" I exclaimed
"You like?" He asked
"Like? How could I not like it, it's definitely too big, like why do you need such space?" I replied while looking around
"Why not. If you have the money why not spend it on a big house and cars" he said while watching me.
"Well.... it's still too much space" I chuckled
We were sat in his dinning room table waiting for lunch to be served by maids, how crazy is that, to be able to have maids doing everything for you. I was getting a little uncomfortable with all this money around me. I've never had money and I have never needed it, I am happy with what I have. Don't get me wrong if I had a little more money it would be great but it isn't the end of the world. All that matters is your health.

** Meanwhile in the Styles livingroom **"Hugo. Please take a seat." My dad said to me, so I did.I only came round as mum and dad said it was important."You know me and your mum have wanted you to get married and settled down for some time. Well..." he paused and mum took his hand in hers."When Harriet, Charles's wife, was pregnant with the twins, we decided if one was a girl you and her would get married once you was of age." He sighed and mum took over."Unfortunately after the birth Harriet and the baby girl had disappeared from the hospital. Charles and Lewis were taken to a different hospital a few hours after they were born, as he had a few issues that need specialist care. When Charles went back to the hospital to pick up Harriet and his baby girl, they had vanished. The hospital said they had no record of her or the births." Mum now had tears running down her cheeks. I didn't know what to say. What can I say

"I don't know if I could ever forgive him for hurting my Sophia." Dad said and got up to go to bed."Night son.""Night dad."The next day Sophia came up to me and said that Sally her best friend was coming over. I can't wait to meet the woman who has always been there for Sophia. If it wasn't for her Sophia wouldn't be here now, Sophia said so herself."Sally is coming over, she should be here in 15 minutes." Sophia was happy, like really happy. I could tell Sally ment to world to her at this moment."I can't wait to meet her." I smiled.Sally nocked on the door."I'll get it" Sophia said as she rushed to answer the door.They said hi to each other as the hugged. When they pulled apart Sophia brought Sally over to me."Sally this is my brother Lewis." She smilled "Lewis this is my best friend Sally."I said hi and smiled at Sally. She was breathtaking, with her b

'What arranged marriage? It can't be for me. As far as my parents know I am still seeing Sophia, surly they won't do this while they think I'm dating someone else?' I questioned myself in my head.They finished that conversation and moved on to talk about other stuff. At this point I decided to go to the bar and get drunk. I've had enough of this gala already and I just won't to go home.After about five shots and three wines I decided to call it a day, well actually Lewis decided that for me."Hugo man. We need to get you to your car, you need to go home. I think you've had enought to drink.""No man. I'm good. I'm goooood." I slurred and chuckled at the same time. I was starring to see two of him as he put his arm around me and lifted me off the stool.Lewis helped me walk over to my car and put me in the passenger seat. I guess he is going to drive me home.We we're driving in a awkward sil

"Yo...your daughter?" Said both Debbie and Henry at the same time.The look on their face was of pure shock. They know everything that had happen with my wife and daughter, they were the ones who helped me through it all. Debbie was best friends with Harriet when it all happened, so she also took it hard."Yes, we have finally found her." I exclaimed with a huge smile on my face.I could see the confusion on their faces, even Hugo looked confused."I didn't know you had a daughter, it's a shame she can't be here." Hugo said with a smile, not realising he has already met her."Yes it is a shame." I sighed.I really wanted to have a go at him for what he has done to Sophia. Even though she hasn't told us who the father of the baby was, both me and Lewis believe that it was Hugo, given the timeline and everything thing.All I could do was smile at him and swallow my words, I would be making a scene if I voice my tho

I have spent the last three days at home being looked after by both Lewis and dad. It has been nice to have them with me, it's not how I thought I would be spending the first few days living with them.Today I have decided to go and see Hugo to let him know I lost our baby. I don't expect anything from him but I need to get it off my chest and tell him so I can move on from this. Don't get me wrong I will never forget my baby, it will always hold a piece of my heart.Once I got to Hugo's office I started to get nervous. It was the same as last time, I am once again sitting in the waiting area.I was looking around and noticed that a woman had gone into Hugo's office with a bag of food and then left almost as soon as she entered. I took that as a opportunity that he was alone having his lunch.I got up from my seat and walked to his office door, luckily for me his receptionist has left her desk for lunch, so it was all clear. I knoc

** Lewis point of view **Everything went by in a blur.The ambulance had come along with the firefighters. They had to cut Sophia out of the car, it was heart breaking to see it all happen.As I was getting checked over by the ambulance crew, a police man came to me to ask me questions. I answered the best I could but it happened so fast I couldn't really remember anything."Thank you for your time" the police officer said. "We will now take statements form the witnesses. If we have anything else to ask you, we will get in touch."I just nodded my head, I was in shock. All I wanted to do was get back to Sophia and make sure she was all right.When Sophia was finally cut out of the car, it felt like it took them a lifetime to do so, she was rushed into the ambulance."Please can I come to?" I pleaded to the ambulance staff."Yes. We have to leave now."
