°°°°FIVE YEARS LATER°°°°

"The Red Diamond Groups of Company marks number one on the list of most successful company in The United States of America and number third worldwide. The CEO of the company was seen on the celebration party last night with his family."

A woman was watching the TV news sitting on her cabin. A beautiful smile was plastered on her face all the time while looking at the television. At the same time, the landline on her table rang out.

"Yes Lucy." She picked up the call from her assistant.

"Ma'am, Mr. Walsh is here to see you."

As her assistant mentioned about Mr. Walsh, she took a deep breath before answering back. "Let him in."

Just within a few minutes, a man in his early thirties walked into her cabin even without knocking.

"Hello sweety!" He wished her placing the bouquet of ninety nine red roses he brought for her on the table.

"Hello Oscar." She replied without looking at him. Oscar who was used to her such behaviour, rolled his eyes and walked towards her. He pulled her up from her seat such that she landed straight on his hard chest.

"Oscar! What are you doing?" She almost shouted on him but he was too busy on studying her details to care about her anger. He moved closer to her, his breath falling upon her pulpy lips.

"Os... Oscar..."

"Yes sweety..."

"This is... this is not good. We...."

"We... we are meant to be with each other sweety."

"I... I can't.."

"You can, trust me."

Oscar moved closer to her, their lips just few inches apart. He was about to make a move but she pulled herself away.

Oscar just stared at her, without any emotions in his eyes which was scaring her. He was always kind of bubbly, jolly and smiling personality. Sudden calm in him scared her. He turned around and marched towards the door. He was almost near to the door when she called him out.

"Oscar!"

He didn't turn around but just stood where he was.

"Wouldn't you even turn around at me?"

"Is there anything left to do or say Melissa?"

MELISSA'S POV:

I couldn't say anything more, not even a single word. This was the first time he called me with my name ever since we got to know each other and I swear I hated it when he called me with my name. He was never so rude with me unlike today. But I guess, that's what I deserve. As I didn't speak anything for few minutes, he walked out of the cabin leaving me alone to feel hollow and lowly.

I got back to my seat and thought of getting back to work. But Oscar didn't leave my mind even for once today. He would call me, text me when he'll get over of his anger. I know he will. I kept on consoling myself but to my surprise, he didn't call me or text me even for once in whole day which scared me more.

Should I call him? Or should I not? After fighting with myself, I decided to wait until I get back to home but he didn't contact me even till I got back to my home. So I dialled his number but he didn't pick up my call which was more scary. Oscar always used to pick my calls that too on the very first ring.

After whatever happened today, I couldn't have a single bite of food. So I decided to go to bed with empty stomach thinking that at least sleeping would help me to get rid of his thoughts. But it was like all my body cells were tired of sleeping today. I couldn't even sleep for a single minute.

I turned around to look at the empty ceiling which brought back all the memories of all these years. It's been six years since I shifted to London leaving everything behind or I did think so. I worked hard all these years and got myself counted among the top five models in The United Kingdom.

I met a lot of people on this journey, Oscar was one of them. All I knew about him was that he's Oscar Walsh, a very successful businessman in the UK who was also investor of the modelling company I was working in. The first time I met him was on a fashion show and then he often started coming to me.

I always kept on avoiding him, all I wanted to do was focus upon my career. And why would a well known businessman come to meet me often? I was scared of his intentions but with the time, he proved me wrong. On the initial years, he didn't say anything. He just asked for friendship and helped me in getting settled on my career.

As I got to know about him, I started getting comfortable around him. He'd always take care of everything about me; my food, my sleep, time for my work and rest and all those small details which would make me feel special and scared at the same time. I was not used to be cared and I was scared if I'll be left all alone again. But he always kept on sticking by my side.

He not only helped me in settling on my career but also supported me emotionally. I was able to move on with my feelings, I was able to be strong. After I shifted to London, I didn't communicate with anyone back there until it was Helena's birthday. With all the little courage I had, I messaged her wishing a happy birthday to which she replied in a kind way which relieved me. And when it was my birthday, she wished me too.

So this is where our communication is limited to; wishing on each other's birthday every year. I do see her posts on social media and I'm happy that she's happy with her family with all the love she deserves. But I wonder if Aiden could really forgive me after all these years? I just hope he did. With the time, I realized that I would never get loved back by him in this life and my focus on work helped me in overcoming my feelings as well. Now if I ever meet him in this life, all I'll ask to him would be forgiveness.

But one thing that's still the same is my fear. After about three years, Oscar proposed me, he said he loves me. But I couldn't accept him, my bars of fear are way more higher to just let them go. He knows everything about me, every single thing and so do I.

He's too good to be with me, he deserves much better than me. But at the same time, I'm scared to lose him. He's now made me addicted to his closeness, addicted to his care. He kept on expressing his feelings on every single chance he got but I could never accept it out of my fear. I'm not sure of my own feelings for him and even if I was, I'd have never turn out to be selfish to ruin his life by keeping him with me. Cause a gem like him deserves a gem for him.

I dialled his number for one more time but he didn't pick up this time as well. This made me anxious to the core. Now all I want is this night to come to an end so that I'll go and see him for once.

So, do you think Oscar will listen to Melissa and still stay by her side? Tell me your guesses in the comments❤

Also guys, many of you guessed it right yesterday. I'm coming back with "In Search of Love Season 2" most probably the next week. So my dear readers who haven't read the season 1, don't worry. You can still understand season 2 even if you haven't read season 1 though there would be few of the things that would be linked to season 1. So if you read season 1, it would be more easy for you.

The season 1 is already completed so check it out before the release of season 2. I hope you won't be disappointed❤
