She was indeed gold in the midst of clay and that was why his tale had to end this way.

  Nothing beautiful can ever exist in his life. He was tired of keeping her from happiness, he wanted her to experience that joy others had experienced.

  That joy he had deprived her. He wanted to be a good friend and let her go. This may be his last opportunity to sow a good seed in life.

  He fondled with the tip of her hair and watched as she also watched him.

  He had never seen anyone with a heart so deep and forgiving in his entire life. That she could even allow him to get so close to her after all he had done.

" Iris I'm still very sorry" 


        ******************************

    Iris had moved on to a better life. Infact, she no longer bore her name. She was now referred to as Jules.

  Working as the secretary for one of the most lucrative businessmen in Bridgewaters seemed like the best of her good years, till a temporary transfer was made.

  She was now to work for another employee. Mr McConnell's son. The man who made her high school days miserable, the man who broke her and made sure she had no means to pick herself back up.

The man who raped her.

  Now theirs is a tale of hate, hurt, regrets, tears, fears and discovery.

  And maybe love.

Don't forget, there's a very thin line between love and hate.

 It's my first day back at work and a week after my 'accident' . 


 As soon as I had my seat to begin, I see a missed phone call from lovelyn. 


Since when has my sister been one to call? 


 I called her back as soon as I could, silently wishing I had enough minutes to spare. 


" Honestly, I don't know why we're still related" 


Yup, a heartwarming greeting from a sister I haven't seen in almost a year. 


" You should really learn to be more explanatory. For someone who's studying Mass communication, you suck at it" I jested and relaxed into my chair with a smirk on my face. 


" And for someone who should be dead, I thought you'd learn to appreciate things more. Guess I can only hope" 


" You called, which is strange. What do you need?" I'm not in a position to whilst away time.
