Author: the scientist
last update Last Updated: 2023-11-27 14:31:51

Chelsea’s POV

Right now, most of me believe that inside that woman is my fiancée, Dale. Each day I found reasons to justify that she’s really him, inside her. A woman like her who came from a well-off family will not waste her time trying to play games with me and besides it’s impossible that someone like her knew some very personal things about us.

I asked him for dinner but he declined and told me he had some business to do. It makes me quite anxious because he’s quite serious the whole time.

“Hey!”

“What the---”

It’s Ken. My heart almost dropped when he suddenly showed up.

“You’re snoozing out. What are you thinking?” he asked after taking a seat in front of me.

“Something you should not care about and what are you doing here?”

“Whoa! You speak like her though”

“Who?”

“That suspicious woman… what’s her name again?”

“Zae”

    Dale's POV “I did” I can feel Chelsea’s grip tightens and my heart starts to beat really fast. “Then we have a business to talk. It’s either you cooperate or we’ll have to summon you” She unwillingly let us enter their house and offered us something to drink. It was against her will but we’re still considered guests and she doesn’t want to appear rude and disrespectful. “I knew it. You’re the one I saw that night when he died” “Tsk! I was in the States when I heard he passed away” “Then are you denying the fact that I saw you that night?!” “Seriously, you’re pissing me off!!” She took her phone and scanned something. After a while, she showed us something, a ticket for her flight the day before I died. She’s telling the truth. “I did visit him earlier that day before my flight because I thought that I would never be coming back here and to think that he’s ill, makes me feel bad---” “Why would you?” “My family and he might have some fights but at least we have each other as

    Dale’s POVAfter the dinner, we decided to stroll around the city. There are still number of vehicles since it’s still early. We sat in the park and watched people passing, talking, just doing their own business. “Thank you for making my night special” she broke the silence.“All for you” I simply replied with a smile, “I’m just curious…”“Hmm?”“Why didn’t you push me or are you not even mad that I kissed you?”“I wouldn’t be sitting next to you if I’m mad” she chuckled.She took a deep sigh, “when you kissed me, it just felt right”“I guess my timing was right. I have to take it slow for you but don’t confuse me with Zae…”[CHUCKLES]“You might actually fall for her and forget I exist in her” I added.It was a joke but she just blankly stared at me until she just broke a soft laugh.“Are you okay?”“Yeah! I’m definitely okay. Something just hit my mind. Should we head back now? It’s getting cold”“Sure” I walked on her side and as we approached the street, I was surprised that I h

I noticed that she’d been wanting to ask me but hesitated to do so. “Yes. I’m okay” “Are you sure?” I smiled to her to give her assurances. I don’t want him to worry about me that much. “What if I never reincarnated?” Out of the blue, I asked her. She doesn’t look surprised at all. “Hmm… I guess I would be dead by now. Remember when I almost took my own life and you showed up? You just saved me” How can I ever forget that? I mustered the courage to tell her the truth because of that incident. “I would be very miserable, mourning and grieving in pain” She smiled after saying that. “You should be happy, even without me” The smile on her face faded instantly. “Will you leave me again?” I was silenced because that’s what will happen soon. It aches me just thinking of it. “What I mean is that your life won’t sto

He sounded mad and the matter was quite serious.“Dad! Why are you yelling so loud?!” I casually asked before I could get close just to divert his attention and stop scolding my brother.“You’re here. Can you tell your twin brother to get his head straight and stop making stupid decisions!” he looks pissed.“What’s the matter?” I calmly asked.“He quit his job at the company just to pursue stupid fashion! He wants to show his real colors! I wouldn’t allow him to carry our name while pursuing that lame passion of his!!”“Dad, we can professionally talk about this matter, you just have to calm down first”While Kyle is

I always drop here every morning before heading to the office just to get some good coffee to complete my day but lately, I wasn’t able to visit here since I reincarnated and stopped going to the office. I wonder how chaotic the company is right now because of my relatives who aim to get it. If I can only go there and settle everything before I’m totally gone.“Good morning, ma’am” the bodyguard greeted me. I smiled back before I entered the vicinity.The whole place looks very therapeutic because of it’s minimalist and clean design. This is what I like about this place, very calm and it gives me peace of mind.“Good morning. What can I offer you, ma’am?”“I like a cup of espresso”“Oh”She looked surprised when I told her my order.“It’s rare in our woman costumers to order espresso. They usually just order black coffee or latte”“Because it’s strong?”“Yeah, exactly” the bartender responded.I kind of get tha

I can’t even stand her how much more like her?

We barely asked each other anything related to work.“I know you were very busy and besides I have my team with me. You think you can come if ever I asked you to?”I couldn’t answer. She’s right. Even if she asked me before I would have declined because every day I was occupied with work. I am just lucky that I have an understanding girlfriend.“Let’s go”We just arrived at the airport and our flight is within thirty minutes.“Hey!”And here comes the devil.
