SNATCHING THE BEST FRIEND OF MY EX-BOYFRIEND

Episode 7: The Disaster.

Kingston Pov,

How am I going to solve everything?

I stood there, feeling a mix of regret and frustration. I knew I had let my emotions get the best of me, and now I had pushed her away even further. I couldn't bear the thought of her hating me, especially after everything we had been through. As I replayed the events in my mind, I realized that I needed to give her space and time to cool off. I had to find a way to make things right, to show her that I respected her boundaries and that I was truly sorry for my actions. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I was determined to find a way to mend the damage I had caused. I just hoped that she would be willing to listen and give me a chance to make amends.

The party went well. Everyone enjoys the party. Mr. Johnson and Ms. Andriana gave a speech about our deal, and I also gave a speech about how I'm grateful for being in partnership with Johnson's company. After the speech we all enjoyed ourselves with some drinks and food. My eyes started roaming around the hall, searching for Angelina. I didn't see her after the encounter we faced earlier. Where did she go? Did she leave the party? I thought. I looked for Ms. Andriana asked about Angelina's disappearance. Ms. Andriana enjoyed the party with her fiancé.

"Ms. Andriana, where is your secretary?" I asked her as I approached them where they were standing. Beofre Ms. Andriana replied to me, Mr. Alexander interrupted us. " Didn't you ask her to communicate with her personally about the project earlier? After that, I didn't see her." He asked me in confusion. "What!" Ms. Andriana asked me in shock.

"I'm sorry, I thought she would still be here at the party," I explained, feeling a knot of worry forming in my stomach. "Ms. Andriana, are you saying that you talked to Angel?" I asked, "What are you talking about to her? If you want to talk about the project, you can just communicate with me or my father. You just can't talk to my secretary about the project. The deal is between you and my company. Are you sure that you just talked to Angel about the project or something else?" She asked me doubtfully. I couldn't form any words at the moment. From the facial expression that I showed to Ms. Andriana, she finds that something has happened between me and Angel.

"Mr. Kingston, I know what happened between you and Angel three years ago. So please tell me that you didn't ask her to talk about the incident that happened between you both." She asked me again in anger. I looked at her, shocked when she said that she knew what had happened to me and Angel three years ago. I stayed silent because I didn't know what to say. "s**t! I'll go and look for her," Ms. Andriana said. Without waiting for a response, she hurriedly made her way through the crowded room, scanning the faces of the guests in search of Angelina.

I couldn't stand there after I looked at Ms. Andriana's facial expression. She looked so scared. So, without thinking anything, I followed Ms. Andriana to search for Angelina. As Ms. Andriana reached the garden, and we spotted her sitting alone on a bench, her eyes fixed on the twinkling lights in the distance. "Angelina, are you okay?" Ms. Andriana asked softly, taking a seat beside her. She looked up, and I could see the traces of tears glistening in her eyes.

I just stood far from them. I didn't want to go near them, and also I didn't leave the place. I wanted to know what Angel felt at the moment. I could hear what they were saying. They both had their backs facing me, so they didn't know that I was watching them. Ms. Andriana suddenly hugged Angelina. Angelina started to cry. Between her sobs, she explained everything that happened between us earlier to Ms. Andriana. I stood there silently without disturbing them.

"Andri, why does God always give me so much pain? Why do I have to face this cruel world? I have already seen so many disasters in these past three years, but still, God didn't spare me from the pain. Am I that unlucky girl to live a happy life in this world?" Ms. Andriana didn't say anything. She just listened silently. My heart ached when I heard Angel speak. She looked so vulnerable. Even though she is also a part of the reason for the incident that happened three years ago, I feel like I'm the main reason she is suffering now. If I had been smarter three years ago, she would not suffer like this. I stupidly believed Noah William and hurt Angelina to the core, and now she suffers so much. It was my mistake. She lost everyone she loved. Now she lives a life without anyone she loved. I stood there, feeling a heavy weight of guilt and regret. I wanted to approach them, to apologize and explain, but I knew that it wasn't the right time. I had caused Angel so much pain, and I didn't deserve to interrupt this moment of solace between her and Ms. Andriana.

As they continued to talk, I couldn't help but reflect on the events of three years ago. I had let my insecurities and doubts cloud my judgment, and I had hurt Angel in the process. I had betrayed her trust, and I knew that no amount of apologies could erase the pain I had caused. After a while, Angel composed herself and wiped away her tears. She looked at Ms. Andriana, with a faint smile, and said, "Thank you, Andri. I needed to get that off my chest." Ms. Andriana hugged her again and reassured her that she was there for her.

I watched as they walked back towards the party, and I knew that I had to do things right. I needed to apologize to Angel and try to make amends for the pain I had caused her. I couldn't let her continue to suffer because of my past mistakes. As the party continued, I waited for the right moment to approach Angel. When the time came, I found her standing alone in the garden, gazing at the stars. I took a deep breath and walked over to her, my heart pounding with nervousness. "Angel, I know that I've caused you so much pain, and I can't express how sorry I am for what happened three years ago," I began, my voice filled with sincerity. "I was foolish and blind, and I hurt you in a way that I can never take back. But I want to make things right, to try to earn your forgiveness and show you that I've changed." From that moment on, I was determined to show Angel that I was truly sorry for my past actions and that I was committed to making amends. It was a long and difficult road ahead, but I was willing to do whatever it took to earn her forgiveness and, hopefully, a chance to rebuild what I had broken.

Suddenly, Angelina started to laugh manically. I looked at her in confusion, bewildered by her sudden outburst. "Mr. Kingstone, do you think that your apology will bring back my happiness? Can you erase all the pain that I face because of the mistake that I made three years ago? I know that I'm one of the main reasons for the mistake that happened between us three years ago, but that doesn't mean you can hurt me to the extent that I have lost all hope to live my life. You humiliated and insulted me in front of the whole world. You didn't care about my feelings when I cared about your prestige. Did you think a girl like me would post the picture of us having s*x on social media? Did you think that I'm a gold digger? I just slept with you to take revenge on my ex-boyfriend, Noah William, who cheated on me with my best friend. I made a decision because of my stupidity and anger."

I stood there, stunned by her words. I had never considered her perspective, and I realized how deeply my actions had wounded her. I felt a mix of shame, regret, and a newfound understanding of the pain I had caused her. It was a sobering realization that I had to face. As Angelina's words echoed in my mind, I knew that I had to take responsibility for my actions and find a way to make amends. I couldn't change the past, but I could start by acknowledging the hurt I had caused and work towards earning her forgiveness. It was a long and challenging journey ahead, but I was determined to do whatever it took to show Angelina that I was truly sorry and committed to making things right.

Before I could respond, our conversation was interrupted by two children. "Mommy! Mommy!" the boys screamed as they ran in our direction. I was taken aback as they reached Angelina and hugged her legs like koala bears. "Mommy, why didn't you come to pick us up?" asked one of the boys as he looked at Angelina. Angelina looked bewildered and didn't react for a moment. I was shocked. What is going on here?

It became clear to me at that moment that Angelina was the mother of twin boys.

As the boys continued to cling to Angelina, I watched in astonishment, trying to make sense of the sudden revelation. It was a side of Angelina that I had never known, and it added a new layer of complexity to our already tumultuous history." Boys, I'm so sorry. I got caught up with something and lost track of time," Angelina finally managed to say, her voice filled with a mix of guilt and concern.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of empathy for her. It was clear that she was juggling a lot, and I could see the love and devotion in her eyes as she looked at her children. It was a stark contrast to the image of her that I had carried in my mind for so long. At that moment, I realized that there was so much more to Angelina than I had ever understood. It was a humbling realization, and it sparked a newfound sense of determination within me.

ANGELINA, THE MOTHER OF TWIN BOYS.
