CHAPTER 37: SHE WAS HIS FIRST LOVE

Johnny was so upset when he went back to his office. He was the head of the I.T department and he didn't know that Stacy started coming to work. Worst was, she insisted of not knowing him. Did she really mean it when she said that she doesn't know him? Impossible! He punched his desk.

How could Stacy forget about him easily? Stacy told him before that he, Johnny, was her first love and Stacy was also her first love. They've been avidly in love for almost 3 years even when Stacy married Ethan. The reason he applied at Saphiro Gentz was to somehow get close to Stacy more and more. It was just a couple of months when he lost his contact with her.

6 years ago, Stacy and Johnny met in an art symposium. It was a 3 days symposium and within that 3 days they were able to know each other's background. Stacy was still single that time as well as Johnny. Even after the art symposium they continued to see each other until they totally fell in love.

After a year, Johnny planned a marriage proposal to Stacy. However, Stacy told him about her marriage arrangement to Ethan. Johnny suggested they should run away from her parents but Stacy declined. She owed her life to her adoptive father. Stacy told him that the marriage would only last for 2 years so Johnny waited. They have been seeing each other in that span of time. However, the 2 years was extended to 4 years. Johnny was so angry but he couldn't do anything about it as well as Stacy, so he patiently waited for her.

But it seemed like the Stacy he saw earlier was a new person. He could sense something was not right but he couldn't point it out. But he didn't care, he needed to see her again.

***Stacy was left alone in the office today since Caleb accompanied Lisa at home. She was in pain when she last saw her. She finished reading and making necessary editing on her project proposal. She needed to present it to Ethan tomorrow. It was already late when she prepared to leave.

She yawned as she exited the building. She was deciding whether to sleep at Lisa's apartment or at Hunter's house instead. She needed to grab a taxi if she wanted to sleep over at Lisa's apartment. If it was at Hunter's place, then she had to take the bus. Or should she go back to her apartment instead? 'It's a little bit risky.' She thought. What about a hotel instead? She shrugged that thought.

"Or should I just go back home?" She frowned when she remembered Eli. "Ahhh, I miss him badly." She murmured.

"Or should you want to go home with me instead?" A man whispered in her ears seductively. She shivered. She looked at him.

"You!" She glared at him.

"Yes! It's me, Johnny. Your one and only!" He smiled sheepishly. "Look, I know why you pretended that you don't know me earlier. It's probably because Ethan was there. But we can resume what we always do before. I know you missed me too." He was seducing her. He was inching a little closer to her. Aisha stepped backwards.

"I'm sorry but whatever happened in the past, I hope you can forget it. I'm not the same person you knew before!" She explained. Johnny was pissed off with what she said.

"Do you think I've waited for you for 5 years just for nothing? Stacy, you know what I did for you and you also know what I can do to you." Now he was threatening her. He was about to clutch her arm but Aisha was quick to twist her hand behind him. He growled in pain.

"Threatening me is your biggest mistake, young man! I'm warning you, don't ever come close to me again!" She yelled. "I really don't care what happened in the past but you will definitely regret if you ever bother me again!" She pushed him hard. Johnny stumbled on the road while Aisha ran towards the Bus station.

"Tsk!" Johnny jeered at her. "Do you think I will easily give up on you? Don't test my patience Stacy or else I might destroy your image in front of your husband and the whole world!" He scoffed.

Aisha left the helpless Johnny on the other side of the road. She was so upset when the man tried to harass her.

"Damn you Stacy! Just how many more surprises do I have to know about you?!" She stroked her temples.
