Love In Between

42



The reporter, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, sat across from Bruce in his office. He was dressed in a crisp suit and tie, and had a notepad and a recording device on the table in front of him. He had a serious look on his face as he asked Bruce if he was sure he wanted the interview to go public.

Bruce nodded confidently, “Yes, I am. I want to set the record straight about everything that’s happened.”

The reporter looked at him for a moment before nodding and starting the recording device. “Alright, let’s begin then. Can you tell me about your decision to break off your engagement with Nora and your involvement with Ava?”

Bruce took a deep breath, ready to tell his side of the story. He knew it wouldn’t be easy, but he was determined to be honest and transparent.

Bruce felt a knot of tension in his stomach as he prepared to tell his story to the reporter. He knew that what he had to say would have a major impact, not just on his own life, but on the lives of those he cared about. He was aware that many people had been hurt by his actions, and he knew that it would be difficult for them to forgive him.

He took a deep breath and tried to steady his nerves. He knew that he had to be honest and transparent if he wanted to have any chance of redemption. He thought about the mistakes he had made, and the hurt he had caused, and he felt a deep sense of remorse.

As he began to speak, his voice was steady but he could hear the uneasiness in his voice. He knew that this was his chance to set the record straight, and he was determined to do it right. He answered the reporter’s questions as candidly as he could, knowing that every word he spoke would be scrutinized.

He felt a sense of weight lifting off his shoulders as he spoke, as if he were finally unloading a burden that he had carried for far too long. He knew that there would be consequences to his actions, but he also knew that he had to take responsibility for them. He was ready to face whatever came next.

As the interview came to an end, the reporter thanked Bruce for his time and packed up his equipment. Bruce watched him leave, feeling a sense of relief that he had finally gotten the chance to tell his side of the story.

Bruce’s office was spacious and well-appointed, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The walls were adorned with framed certificates and awards, attesting to his success in the business world. A large mahogany desk sat at the center of the room, with a sleek computer and several stacks of papers neatly arranged on top. A comfortable leather chair sat behind the desk, and a couple of guest chairs were placed in front of it for visitors.

On the walls, there were some paintings and photographs of beautiful landscapes, adding a touch of elegance to the room. The office had a comfortable yet professional atmosphere, reflecting Bruce’s ambition and work ethic.

A small coffee table sat in one corner of the room, with a tray of refreshments on it. The room was decorated with plants and flowers, giving the room a natural and relaxing ambiance. The overall effect was one of power and success, but also of warmth and hospitality.

After the interview, Bruce sat back in his chair and let out a deep sigh. He felt a mix of emotions, from relief to anxiety. He had finally gotten the chance to tell his side of the story, but he knew that it would be a while before he could gauge the public’s reaction. He knew that there would be people who would still be angry with him, but he also hoped that there would be some who would understand his actions.

He looked out the window, staring vacantly at the cityscape. The hustle and bustle of the city felt distant, as if it were happening in another world. He felt a sense of detachment, as if he were observing everything from a distance.

A few days later, Ava noticed that everyone at work was talking about Bruce’s engagement to Nora being dissolved. At first, she felt a sense of happiness and relief, thinking that maybe now there was a chance for her and Bruce to reconcile. But then she recalled that she was now dating Andrew and the feeling of happiness dissipated. She felt a twinge of guilt, knowing that she was happy about Bruce’s engagement ending even though she was in a relationship with someone else.

She tried to push the thoughts of Bruce out of her mind and focus on her work, but she couldn’t help but overhear the whispers and rumors circulating around the office. She tried to tune them out and not let them affect her, but it was hard to ignore the fact that the man she once loved was now single again.

Despite her mixed feelings, Ava knew deep down that she didn’t love Bruce anymore. Her feelings for him had faded and she was now in a happy and healthy relationship with Andrew.

As Ava thought about her relationship, Andrew called her, demanding that she come to meet him. Ava tried to tell him that it wasn’t convenient and that she had work. But Andrew manipulated her and played on her feelings, making her feel guilty for not wanting to meet him.

When Ava arrived at Andrew’s house, he greeted her with a cold attitude. He immediately brought up the topic of her not meeting him earlier. Ava tried to explain that she had work to do but he cut her off, saying that he was a major investor in her company and that she should prioritize him over work.

He then starts to threaten her by saying that if she doesn’t spend more time with him, he will pull out his investment and the company will suffer. Ava felt trapped, she didn’t want to lose the investment but she also didn’t want to sacrifice her own happiness.

Throughout their conversation, Andrew continued to manipulate and control Ava by threatening to cut ties with her company. He would bring it up whenever he felt ignored or dismissed. He would tell her that she should be grateful for him and his investment and that he had the power to make or break her company.

Afraid that he could pull out of her company as a major investor if she refused him, she gave in and went to his home. She felt uneasy about the situation but didn’t know how to get out of it.

When she went home that night, she was surprised to find a teddy bear and chocolates at her doorstep from Bruce. She picked them up and opened the note attached. It read: “I know I messed up, but I want to make it right. Please give me a chance to explain. – Bruce”

Ava felt her heart flutter, but quickly pushed the feeling away. She knew that she couldn’t let herself fall for him again, not after everything that had happened.
