Back at the party, Alice was still looking for Greg.
Alice saw that Greg was standing close to Tim and moved quickly to talk to him.
"Greg," she shouted.
"What happened, I hope Violet is okay?" Greg asked, worried. He wanted to know how his wife was.
Alice didn't reply. She looked around and saw that there were some other people standing and talking there, so she said to Greg,"There is a lot of disturbance here. Let us move out elsewhere and discuss."
Alice moved to a quiet place soon after.
Greg glanced at Tim which meant that he wanted both of them to talk to Alice in solitude. They then moved to follow Alice.
When they reached there, Alice stopped. When she was sure that there was nobody else around, she turned towards Greg, and asked,"Who is Cassie? What is going on between you two?"
Greg knew that he would not be able to hide things from Alice. He said frankly,"Cassie was my classmate at the university."
"Why has she come here? Now, don't tell me that she has come back to China for you!" Alice said. She knew her guess was most probably right, but still, she wanted to confirm it with Greg.
"Actually, I really don't know why. But maybe your guess is right," Greg answered. That was something that couldn't be denied. Everyone could guess it and Greg did not think that it can be kept as a secret anymore.
"That means that you both were close to each other in the university? Were you a couple at the university?" Alice asked.
"No, we weren't," Greg tried to explain. He looked at Alice seriously, and added,"Alice, you know how much I love Violet. But Cassie, she is just the girl who was with me during the worst phase of my, that i
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
o her eyes, and said firmly,"Violet, I love you and have loved you only. Please believe me."
"Is that so?" Hearing that, Violet had a questioning look in her eyes. She stared into Greg's eyes, and added,"Cassie has come here only for you. Are you sure that you two are just friends and nothing more?"
"I didn't know that she was at the party. And neither did I know that she worked at XS Hospital," said Greg, honestly. He did know nothing about it. He only knew that Cassie had come back in this city. But if he had told it to Violet when he knew Cassie's coming. The situation wouldn't be as worse as it was now.
"Tell me what else you don't know? And what else don't I know about this whole matter?" Violet's tears gushed from her eyes. In front of her was her husband who she had loved all her life. It did not matter whether it was in the past or now or in the future, her feelings for him would never change. But it seemed she did not know him well enough. Violet had never asked Greg about his five years in the university. She did not even know how he spent time there and who were his friends at that time.
