All Chapters of Despised at First Sight: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

           What is the problem, Matilda, I was just trying to understand everything we are discussing, I tried to lie.        "That's not true, she replied accusingly. No matter what you have on your plate, you always get a grip on yourself". She was right I never drip of in a meeting no matter the problems around me."You always take promt decisions that always turn out well and besides, you never call me Matilda because you said it was old fashion." She ended angrily.        Trust me Matilda, I was thinking about what we were discussing....I tried to defend myself .         "Please excuse me gentleman, she said dismissing our bankers. I know you very well Mark, and don't take me for a fool.....she continued as the bankers left. Did you even ask me how I got to know where you are? I heard your voice from afar when I excused myself from the meeting to get a drink

 Tom's POV         I was in a state of ectasy when I saw her waving at me through the window. There were so many thoughts running through my head. I can see she is gradually begining to like me but I don't know if she loves me as much as I love her. Women can be very difficult to understand. Even with my experience with Tilda, they seem like a blank book that need to be filled through one's own experience. There are sooo many things I wanted to tell you her, but I don't know if she can take it. I don't know if it will make you happy and bring us together or only dissappoint her and destroy our friendship.        After Mark was pulled away by Tilda during the office dinner party, I sensed her whole mood was destroyed. She couldn't focus on anything else so we decided to leave, just as we heard Mark arguing with Tilda. I was pretty sure it was about my past with Tilda. I couldn't help my notice the way she looked at

 Tom, can I speak to you alone please....I asked looking him in the eye"No, Maya, I want everyone here to be a witness to what we have to say to each other. If you love me, I want to know how deep it is. Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?" He asked with a pleading stare.I looked at Tracy speechlessly begging her with my eyes to say something but for the first time, I was left to my fate. She had warned me earlier right? But I never took her warning serious. Right then Mark came back. His eyes were covered with so much pain and anger."Please Maya, I have loved you from the very moment I set eyes on you. Since that day, you have taken over my mind completely. I am always at peace whenever you are around me. Please I want to live with this peace forever. Please grant me this wish, he kept pleading."I don't know what to say Tom, I don't think I am ready yet...was all I could say.But the look in his eyes said it al

Mark's POV          There was no point hiding the truth from them. Tom is my best friend and Tracy is her bestfriend so I don't think we can hide it any longer. Maya's expression showed how embarrassed she was. It's no fault of hers. I can't keep my hands and eyes of her. I wanted us to keep this a secret and I was still the one to blow it all.           She had wiggled out of my arms in embarrassment but I pulled her closer again and with my right arm around her waist, we both faced Tom and Tracy. I am sorry you guys had to find out this way. I mean, we should have told you being bestfriends but I just wanted to trash out things with Tilda before I make our relationship public.       "So you two are dating"...Tracy asked but more of a statement to herself.       Yes, I said boldly, looking at Maya who was looking down shyly.      "Well, am

Maya's POVI knew that this was going to happen, but I was still hurt. Mark's father conducted my interview and eventhough he seemed naughty in the beginning, he turned nice when he admitted what he was asking me to do was a test. He seemed so different when we reached his mansion. He turned into a complete beast. I couldn't believe he slapped Mark in front of me. My poor heart ached for him so much. He was going through all this because of me and I felt so sad. He didn't seem like the kind of person who will talk back to his Dad but he did that because of me. I felt like a bad influence on him all of a sudden. I wanted to tell him to go back to Tilda but my poor heart could not let him go. I can't stand losing him. It's as if he is carrying my heart with with. I let out all my tears as I burried my head in his chest. Why does life have to be so cruel. Mark has fought so much for me. In the beginning, he despised me just to hide what he feels. He tried hi
