Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

"What is happening here?" A voice boomed from behind, and the guards turned around to see who it was. Their eyes widened on seeing the man saunter towards them, his eyes flaring with anger. But they knew that the man was not angry at them, and it was the girl in front of them who would be receiving his wrath. So, they made way for him at once.

Meanwhile, Amber too was stunned, and she froze in her spot in fear. "Ia...Ian," She stuttered, cold sweat dribbling down her rigid spine. Though she tried to maintain a strong front, she failed miserably. Amber clenched her hands, wishing to run away from the predicament she in.

She had already known that neither of Joshua's friends liked her, and they were only tolerating her for their friend's sake when they were together. But the moment she left him, they did not have any obligations towards anyone and did not conceal their sheer hatred towards her. She took a few steps back to keep her distance from the man who seemed in the mood to rip her head off.

"Dr. Davis," The guards greeted him, and Ian smiled at them in response. Although he was livid, it was not at the two guards who were doing their job obediently. It was Amber who had caused the commotion in the first place, attracting everyone's attention towards them. 

Ian did not stop until he was standing in front of Amber as he towered over her. He glared at her, furious for ruining the peaceful decorum of the hospital. He would not have even come anywhere near her if the news of her commotion had not spread everywhere in his hospital.

Although the people were praising the two guards for dealing with her patiently and humanly, it was still irritating to hear about her disgusting actions. He had also heard the words she had spat regarding her and Joshua, making him ridicule her for her stupidity.

"I will take over. Thank you for your hard work." Ian smiled at the two guards, who nodded at him before they moved away from the two people. Though the man was just a doctor in the hospital, the guards knew that he held another position that nobody knew about. He was always present whenever the administration took decisions, and that was enough for the two men to know how capable and powerful he was.

Since the esteemed doctor had decided to deal with the frustrating woman himself, the guards were more than willing to leave them alone. The short span of interaction with her had rendered them with a headache, and they were sure that it would not leave until they took medicines.

Ian waited until the guards were out of hearing distance before he gritted his teeth. "Would you mind following me? I do not want to gain more attention than we already have." 

Ian's low, threatening voice sent chills down Amber's spine, and she gulped softly. She had always known Ian to the calmest among the three friends while Noah was deemed to be cold and reticent. The man always had a menacing air around him, and Amber had tried not to be in his presence as much as possible. But after seeing Ian's dark and frenzied face, Amber was sure that he was more frightening and domineering. He knew how to hide his true character and maintain his cool, unlike Noah.

Ian did not wait for the girl to reply. He was sure she would follow him, especially after seeing how the guards respected and obeyed him. He was her only way to meet Joshua. He walked to a secluded area but made sure to stay within the sight of his guards. He did not want people to speak about him, or worse even, allow Amber to make false allegations. Moreover, the spot he had chosen was under CCTV surveillance. So, there was no way Amber would play tricks on him.

Although reluctant, Amber meekly followed Ian as she held her purse tight. All her boldness and arrogance had vanished the moment the man had appeared, and she did not know how to come out of the situation she was in. He was furious, she had seen his eyes filled with rage. All she could do was hope for the man to take pity on her and let her meet Joshua.

Ian waited until the girl approached him before he folded his hands and narrowed his eyes. "Amber, what are you doing here?" His voice was exceptionally calm but there was a tone of danger underneath it, and Amber sensed it immediately.

"I-I am here to me..meet Joshua." She mumbled, not lifting her face even once. 

"And why do you want to meet him? He is nothing to you." Ian spat, and immediately, the girl's head snapped to him.

"He is my boyfriend," Amber replied, her tone changing all of a sudden.

"Is it? When did that happen? Weren't you the one who left him?" Amber was just about to speak when Ian raised an eyebrow at her, threatening her silently to shut her mouth. "Weren't you the one who dumped him for your own benefit? Where were you all these years? Where were you when he needed you? Where were you when he went into depression after you left him?"

"I...I..." Amber did not know what the reply. Leaving Joshua was the biggest mistake she had done, and she had realized it only after she had been reduced to nothing. She was now living on the streets, and all she wanted was to get back to her old life with Joshua.

"You did not give him any reason for breaking up with him. You are selfish and greedy and disgusting. If I am not wrong, you only came back because you realized that you cannot live a luxurious life without him. Am I right?" Amber bit her lip in nervousness. Ian had hit the bullseye with his prediction, and she was worried that Joshua would despise her if he found her truth.

Ian could read what was running in the girl's mind, and he scoffed in dismay. "Don't think that Joshua does not know what intentions are. He already found out what you want and why you are back, and now he loathes you."

"No, that can't be." Amber's eyes widened in horror. She had only expected Joshua to be furious at her and she was prepared to cajole and coax him to accept her again. She had never wished for the man to resent her. 'What will happen to my plan? How will I get back with him now?' She wondered.

"Yes, it is the truth, and accept it. He does not want you, nor does he need you. He had moved on, and I am glad he did. He has now found an amazing girl who will love him and cherish him the way he should be. Don't intervene in their lives, or you will face dire consequences. I am warning you."

Ian turned to leave but stopped when he remembered another message he wanted to convey to her. "And stop visiting the hospital. You created as much mess as you wanted, we will not allow you to do so anymore. You are blacklisted and prohibited from entering this hospital, and let me reveal to you that it was I who did it."

Ian smiled at her cunningly, and Amber was taken aback on noticing the man's terrifying expression. But her anger and annoyance got the best of her, and she pushed her fear to the back of her mind. "How could you prohibit me from entering the hospital? I need to speak to Joshua. He will listen to me, and once he finds out the truth, he will accept me eventually. Joshua is mine, and he still loves me."

Instead of being vexed at her words, Ian found them to be amusing, and he let out a sarcastic laugh. "Joshua does not even want to see your face. Otherwise, he would not have forced me to discharge him right the next day he woke up."

"What?" Amber was flabbergasted. She had never expected Joshua to leave the hospital this soon.

"Yes. It is no use even if you enter the hospital now. The man you want to see is not here. Don't waste your breath anymore. Leave." Ian did not hesitate to humiliate the girl who had almost destroyed his friend's life. He gave her one last glance before he left her standing all alone under the sun.
