56T H E AI exhale nervously.It makes me curious why he's all over me so suddenly when he doesn't even care about me before. He's been getting too touchy and too close. It makes me worry why he is actually being like this. I don't know his motive and it's hard to tell if he's just trying to flirt with me or not. But I am way too far from being a little bit interested with this very devious man. But I'm sure that he has reasons why he is being like this.I just don't know what."You look like you're ready." He adds."Well..." I stutter. "I'll be joining in a bit after I finish things here."He chuckles. "What the hell are you doing here?"I shake my head. "Putting my things out.""You didn't look like you brought a lot of things with you here." He smirks.I hate him. He's so annoying.And irresistibly gorgeous."Well, hurry up. You're missing the fun." He says.I nod as I watch him stand up straight with that devilish grin plastered on his handsome face."Are you staying here because
57T H E AI like it.I don't like it.Arghhhh!!Sebastian looks upset and I know he wanted to exchange partners so bad but everyone said and agreed that no one should change partners as soon as the app will start choosing its own.I sigh.I glance at Benedict and he kept an impassive look on his face. His arms were inserted inside his pockets and he was just quiet while the rest of the people that were around us were talking to their partners."I think I'll pass this one." Benedict suddenly called out and got everyone's attention.All of them looked back at Benedict."Why?" Bethany asked."It'll be a great group activity for all of us." PJ says.The twin agreed."Don't be a party poop." Troy commented."It's been a while since we had this kind of outdoor activity man. Don't be like this." Khaleel says.I watch Benedict shaking his head and answered, "My hands hurt due to all the barbecuing a while ago and I am not great with sandcastles. We all know that lads."I sigh inwardly.I thi
58T H E A"Last five minutes." I hear Benedict's voice.I look over to other sandcastles that has been put up and everything weren't that bad, most especially Tommy's. He's really definitely Liv's son. Actually, when Liv and I were still together, I didn't get to meet any of his sons. I wasn't that ready to face them and I thankfully decided to do that because I would be dead caught now if he knew me back then.Compared to Liv's work from the other castles, our sandcastle was more castle-like in structure. I am not only saying this because I love my own, but I am saying this because it is true. I guess I'm having that special meal and dessert tonight all thanks to Liv."I'll get the last pail for finishing this part." Liv says."No. Let me do it." I volunteered.I grabbed the pail from his hand and walked towards the waters. I noticed a few shells from afar and decided that it may add decorations to our sandcastle. As soon as I sited it, I walked towards the small shells and picked t
59T H E AI put on some earring and fixed my hair. Since I had a wounded foot, Sebastian decided to have our date inside the villa while the others were having their dinner outside at the yard. He said he wanted to have me solo for tonight since he was busy the entire day and he felt bad for what happened to me.As for Benedict, I haven't seen much of him today. I don't know if he's hiding from me or he talked with Khaleel about what we discussed inside the clinic. By I was seriously disappointed at Benedict, most of the people asked and worried about me. But he never even talked to me and asked me if I was fine or how was my foot. God that man is despicable!I sigh as I look at my reflection. "Man up Thea. Tell Sebastian that you don't like him."A knock came by my door and I knew that it was already Sebastian. I headed straight to the door and decided to open it. But it was someone else."Hey." He smiled tightlipped."Khaleel." I welcomed his presence. "What brings your here? I tho
60T H E ATHREE YEARS AGO...When I resigned the club and left London, Sky had already been furiously mad because I was hard-headed. He didn't want me to leave because he doesn't trust the guy I chose but I'm so in love with Liv.I wanna be where he is. I wanna be with him all the time. I wanna see him when I wake up in the morning or before I fall asleep at night. I wanna lay with him, eat with him, cook for him, prepare his clothes before he starts his day at work. I wanna live with him in one house.College was really great so far. The feeling of being in school again, felt so nice. A mixture of thrilling and exciting were building inside. I was actually having fun and learning a lot in Scotland. Liv was the one who paid for everything, from the university fee, to my new clothes, new bags, shoes, books, pens, notebooks, and my own flat. Everything that I needed was paid by Liv and though it was difficult to adjust myself in this new surrounding, I did it for him because it would m
61T H E APRESENT..."Are you still mad?"My eyes travelled back to Liv while I was being dead silent for a couple of minutes. I try to process the question that he asked me but I was also unsure of my own answer. I take a couple more seconds to think.Am I still mad with all the things that he did to me?I don't know."Then I take that as a yes." He answers his own question and looked away from me.I sigh and looked away from him too."I don't know Liv." I admitted."I..." I trailed off.I breath and exhaled. "I don't know if I'm still mad at you. I don't even know if I can even forget those things. I don't know if... I don't know if I can even forget our past Liv. You're like a ghost."I turn my head back to him and he was already looking at me. "A ghost that follows me everywhere I go. You're always haunting me. In my dreams. In my thoughts. At work. Even after being away from you, you haunt me.""Is it bad that I do?" He asks. "Do you feel mad when you remember me? Do I still dis
62T H E ATHREE YEARS AGO...Liv cancelled his business trip to Dubai because he wanted to check on me and by check on me it meant that every hour of the day. He messages me every hour to ask if where I was. He would call just to make sure I was in class and I wasn't going anywhere but school and school alone. He'd call every freaking hour to the extent that my professors would get mad at me. If college had detention I'd be always present.Liv has now been aware that a lot of guys are trying to pursue me in my university and even though I never talk to him about it, he knew. He said it's a man's instinct when other men has eyes set on their woman. Liv and I would fight most nights due to men who keep ringing up my phone. Sometimes he would answer it and sometimes he would turn off my phone when I'm at home with him around.He wasn't acting as if he was my boyfriend, but instead he was acting as if he was my father. I didn't talk to Liv days after that incident and as always he did so
63T H E AThree years ago...My tears blurs my eyes because all those nights when he was also physically hurting me flashed back to me as Rachelle storytells me everything that Liv did to her. I pitied her for what she has been through while she married him. She stayed with Liv as long as she could because it was for the love of her sons and just be with them and that it wasn't because she was still in love with her husband. She said she loved Liv but love faded the moment when he continuously began hitting her and hurting her physically.Rachelle exhales as she wipes the escaping year coming from her eyes. "He was the nicest man I know but the most evil at the same time."Her lips trembles. "He's a very jealous man. He asked me to stop from work because he kept on insisting that my colleagues were hitting on me but they weren't. He only wants me to stay at home and if I go out of the house to do shopping I have two bodyguards with me."She sighs. "He scares me the most when he's ma
