Jake's POV

"Let's give ourselves time to think, Jake. What is important is that we will be happy, in the end, that is the most important thing to consider," she said before completely leaving me inside the bathroom.

I want to stop her, force her to give me a chance. Say that I would do anything for her, but I was stunned to see how she held tightly to the man who was hugging her now.

That should be me, the one who is wiping her tears. But no, it's the opposite. I am the reason for the tears falling from her beautiful eyes, it is my fault that she is in another man's arms while being vulnerable.

The only thing I could do at that time was to listen to their conversation and the sound of her cry that was trying to suppress, even when he softly called her name. I closed my eyes tightly and clenched my hands.

I just stood there and stayed like that until I heard their footsteps getting away, I wanted to scream and grab her away from Raziel but I couldn’t. I did everything I could to stop m

    Lorain's POVI kept sniffing repeatedly while sitting inside Raziel's car, I felt like my entire face was swollen, especially my eyes and nose. I'm ashamed of Raziel, how many times have I shown this side of me...Isn't that too much for him, especially since he's only known me for a short time?"Do you want some tissues?" He asked, "Or should I give my sleeve to wipe your snot?" He added while laughing at me."Are you genuinely trying to comfort me or are you making fun of me?” I looked at him evilly and took the tissue he was handing me."Well, I'm not good at comforting someone. So, instead of crying I rather choose to see you smile.” But after he said that, he took a deep breath and spoke again, "But, it doesn't mean you can't cry in front of me."He started driving, "Crying is normal when you are sad, hurt, or happy. I hope the next time I see your tears is because of joy, Lorain.”He didn't look at me, his eyes just focused straight on the road. I can't explain it but when I hea

    Carrying what we bought, I quietly followed him into the door of his house, I expected a maid to meet and greet us but there was none. It's very quiet but the atmosphere inside is surprisingly lively.You can feel that you are in a home and not just a house, the warmth and feeling that make you comfortable."Sorry, my things are a bit messy over the weekend since my housekeeper is sick and can’t come this past week." He explained and went straight to the kitchen to put down the paper bags, I followed to put down what I was carrying as well."No, I think my room is even messier than yours," I answered as I looked around, even though his housekeeper could not come last week, I could tell that the house was still kept clean. Well, Raziel is not acting like a spoiled child so he is more likely to clean his mess when not busy.“Pfft! Really?” He laughed and asked in disbelief, "It's good if you think my house is pretty clean, well mostly that's where I do my work so it's messier here than

    For a few seconds, our lips stayed together, no one was moving as if we felt each other warmth. Raziel kept his eyes on me waiting to see what I would do next.I slowly closed my eyes, if I kept staring my heart might take it. At that moment his lips moved, slowly as if savoring every moment.My lips gradually followed the movement of his, without rushing.I opened my eyes again when he slowly released my lips, "Lorain." He called me breathlessly still looking at me intently. "Can I kiss you once more?"I nodded and adjusted the position of my face closer to him, I wanted to feel the warmth of his lips once more too.He bent down again and brought our faces closer, our foreheads touching when he stopped. "This time, can I make it deeper than earlier?" For a man who has a lot of experience when it comes to s*x, he's being cute right now.I grinned and nodded again, "Yes, you can do it the way you like, Raziel." I softened my voice when I said his name.He didn't speak again, instead, h

    "Raziel!" I rushed out of the room and looked for him."What's wrong, Lorain?" He approached me worriedly carrying the small basket where my wet clothes were placed.But I couldn't pay attention to it, "Call Jamie, hurry up." Whether I admit it or not, I'm worried about what might happen to him."W-Wait, why what's going on?" He lowered the basket and picked up the cell phone that was lying on top of the side drawer, "why do I need to call Jamie, is there a problem with the supply?"I shook my head, "No, it's not about the business.""Then, what?" He asked again and brought the cell phone to his ear, this time he started dialing Jamie's number. I just hope she answers right away so she can stop Jake from reckless moves.In less than a few minutes, the person on the other line answered, "Raziel, why were you calling?" her voice was calm, but raspy as if she had just woken up."Well," he looked at me, obviously not knowing what to answer. So, I immediately approached him and took the ce

    "What do you mean?" Raziel asked once again.Jamie let out a loud and disappointed sigh before answering, "he doesn't want me or the nurses to come near him, he wants Lorain to take care of him while he's at the hospital.""No, we're not going there. You are the one who said that Lorain should get away from your fiance, there is no reason for her to take care of that man." He replies in annoyance."But I also said that if something bad happens to Jake, she should take responsibility, another thing... Another thing is that if she doesn't help take care of Jake, I will destroy her name." The desperation in Jamie's voice was obvious while saying that.I felt the pain in my chest again, I stood up and motioned for Raziel to give me the cell phone."It's me, what is the name of the hospital you went to?" I asked without hesitation.Raziel held me tightly and looked at me as if he couldn't believe it, he shook his head. "You don't need to do it, Lorain. If you are afraid that she will defam

    Raziel's POVI could act like it was okay, but I can't.Seeing her walk into the room where the man she once loved was, there was no reason for me to be fine.All my life, I have done everything to be confident in the things I do. In school, business, even with women. But now I'm like a child afraid of being robbed of something, something important."So, you like her?" Jamie sat down next to me, handing over the steaming instant coffee. "coming here with her, even though you know what she's going to do... Aren't you being too heroic?"I accepted the coffee and sipped on it, "if you can control him, she does not need to go inside of that room." I reply to her so emotionless, as if I don’t want any conversation between us, "so, don't talk nonsense to me.""Nonsense? Do you think I will let her go there if I have a choice?” She asked irritated, "Jake is one important person in my life, as long as he is fine then I can do anything.""Then why are you even asking me when you, yourself know

    Jake's POVIt's hurt, so hurt to the point I don't want to move at all. But if this is the only way to make her stay beside me, I would rather cut my hand or foot."Please, please stay." I don't care anymore if I look like a poor dog afraid of being left behind. I don't care about the eyes looking at me now, judge me all they want but this is all I can do now for her to stay with me."Jake, what do you think you are doing now!" Grandpa's voice echoed around, but I didn't look at him. I kept my eyes fixed on Lorain, hoping she would listen to me."Lorain, please." I repeat, "Don't leave, if I have to kneel for you to agree..." I looked at my reflection, ah. That's when I remembered that one of my legs was also bandaged. But if ever, she asks me to do it then I will."Go into your room, Jake. I will also come back tomorrow, for now, I also need to sleep don’t make it hard for everyone." Her voice was too calm as she said those words, her eyes met my gaze.I want to refuse to force mysel

    Lorain's POVI quickly dropped my body on the bed as soon as we entered the hotel room reserved by Raziel, I appreciated the softness of the bed even more now. Because of what happened I remembered my old job as a caregiver."Go to sleep, tomorrow he will look for you again." Raziel suddenly said, compared to before when he didn't want to talk about Jake, the atmosphere in him is now lighter every time he mentions him."You're right, but you also need to sleep. You'll be going to work tomorrow," I stood up from the bed and was about to move to the sofa when he looked at me."Who said you're going to sleep on the sofa?" He came closer to me and made me sit there again, "You need more rest than me, I'm going to work where I always do. Unlike you, you need strength tomorrow." He tapped me on the shoulder and ruffled my hair."But the sofa is too small compared to your size," I said hesitantly, if he slept there, his body would be hurt. "T-The bed is big, why don't we just lay here next t

    "Well, well." His smile was wide as he walked into the room where we were, there was no trace of pity or anything on his face. Instead, he was very happy to see my condition, "That's right, you look better like that."The man in front of me stood up straight and bowed, "Good evening boss, as we talked about, we brought him here. Maybe we can get the rest of your payment because that's what we're talking about." His voice was polite compared to earlier when he was talking to me.John focused his attention on the man and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be too nervous, I will give my promise as the price of our conversation. But your work isn't done yet so I won't give the money yet.""W-What do you mean?" He asked curiously, even his colleagues were concerned. "The talk is that we will take her and give her to you, that's all we agreed about. After everything, you will pay in full.”"Well, the agreement has changed now." He smirked."Huh?!" The man asked annoyed earlier, "What change

    "Hurry up, move slowly!" One of the men pushed me in, not even caring about me. He doesn't care if I get hurt or not by the way he obeys me, I can't stop myself from giving him a bad look."What are you looking at?!" He asked and hit me on the cheek with the gloves he was holding, there was no sign of restraint because I could feel his palm which was now painful and hot.“Hey, hey! Take it, easy bro, our boss didn't say anything that we can hurt her, another thing is to look at her skin and face." He caressed my arm with his slightly rough fingers, "it should be taken care of like this." He even licked the area around his lips as if he was hungry.It was like I was poured with ice water because of what he said and did, I tried to distance myself from them but it was very impossible to do that. "Who ordered you to do this, tell me!" I screamed.The man immediately covered my mouth and slammed the door shut, "Look, do you want someone to hear you? You are beautiful but your mouth is so

    Everything I need to bring for my return abroad is ready, we have decided that Raziel and I will meet at the airport. Asa hotel almost all my things, while he was at his house.We were supposed to meet yesterday but it didn't work out because there were too many problems he had to fix before leaving his business here suddenly, well, he won't be staying in another country for good right away.I sat on the sofa when my eyes again hit the envelope that arrived yesterday, I don't know if I should laugh or what because I received an invitation from Jamie for her and Jake's wedding today."He really sent me something like this, too bad the paper looks expensive." I smelled it and as expected the fragrance was nice.I turned to the door when someone knocked there, I immediately stood up to see who it was through the small hole. There was no talk of Raziel coming here, I felt a little nervous because of that."Lorain? It's me, Craig." He knocked again while saying that, the nervousness buildi

    Lorain's POVEven before the event is over, it is already very popular and the two's names are already heard in the news, social media, and everywhere else. Along with that is the spread of bridal gowns which has become an advantage of Jamie's company.It's the first bidding and many people are already competing, I don't know if it's to brag that they have a lot of money or to brag on social media that they bought one of the bridal gowns tonight as proof that they're here."That's Jamie, isn't it?" Raziel asked as he pointed to a woman in the lobby, her secretary was with her. "It seems like they are fighting, should we go and ask them?"He was about to take a step when I stopped him, I quickly shook my head when I noticed something in the looks of the two of them. "I think, we have no right to interfere with the two of them. Let's let them talk first, after all, we don't know anything about what's going on.""You think? Jamie is about to cry, what if there is a big problem?""W-Well,

At that time, I wanted to hug her, tell her how beautiful she is while wearing the bridal gown she worked so hard to show off to all the people here today... But I can't.I firmly clenched both my hands and tried to stop the tears that were about to flow out of my eyes, at times like this I was once again slapped by the fact that the world we live in is different.Maybe it's better if I just leave here first and don't watch them, I don't want him to see me like a wretch on the sidelines. I also know that eyes are watching me, I don't want to look more ridiculous to his family.I walked out of the venue, and when I got to the lobby a man's voice echoed around."Wow!" I turned to hear the voice of one of my friends, his face couldn't be

    "Next is indigenous wedding dress inspired, you can see the detailed weaving of each layer at the bottom..."The MC said a lot more, each wedding dress has its own explanation for the viewers. It's obvious that Jamie made sure to highlight the unique features of the bridal dress that is now being shown on stage.I hear different kinds of praise from the people around us, from the people on our side and even behind us. I can't stop myself from smiling even more if the praise I hear includes the fabric they used, it's always from us.As time went on, the surroundings got colder and colder, because almost a few hours had passed since earlier. The number of reporters and attendees increased even more, fortunately, the venue was spacious."Next bridal dress, and will be the last one." The MC said with a smile, "Out of all the dresses and gowns you've seen, this one is the most special and gets the most attention. And because of that, a special person should always wear it."The light on th

The show will begin after 10 minutes, all the possible investors and bidders are already outside.” The organizer of the event told the models that they were now wearing the gowns that they would ramp up later.It's seven o'clock in the evening, and the air is quite cold. I feel every kiss of fresh air on my skin while waiting for other attendees outside the building, this is the event I've been waiting for the most.I looked at my own reflection at the door of the building, I'm thankful that I didn't get seriously injured when we had an accident otherwise, I wouldn't be here today and I wouldn't be able to see our fabrics that are admired by many.I'm aware that what they see most is the design of the wedding gown, but I still want to hear at least a few compliments about the fabric used by the company."Lorain, why are you out there?" He came to me and held me by both arms, "Your skin is getting dry, why haven't you come inside yet?" He

    Jake's POVI could feel my whole body getting cold as I walked down the hallway to the room where Lorain was resting, I honestly didn't dare to face her right now.So, I know who is to blame for why she is now in the hospital, but I can't bring Jamie to the police."I'm just here for you, Lorain. No matter what happens, even if it costs my life, I will not abandon you." My hand stopped in the air as I was about to turn the doorknob when I heard the man's voice inside saying those words."Raziel, many women like you. Are you serious that you are ready to mess up your good life just because of someone like me?” Now I heard Lorain's voice, it was full of sadness that made me clench my hand and put it down.Once again, I hurt her. Even if I didn't hurt her directly, I was still the reason, I wanted to hug her. I should be with her now and taking care of her, why is that man here again?“I'm sure, Lorain. I am serious about my feelings for you, no matter what you say I will not let go. Esp

    Jake's POVI was deafened by her slap, but I heard almost every word she said afterward clearly, at that time it was as if I had been doused with freezing water. How can I even say those words?What's the difference between me and Grandpa if I also look at people based on their state in life, "I'm sorry, I—" I couldn't finish what I was going to say because I knew that when I said it, I didn't mean it to say that would sound like an excuse.Even if the situation is reversed, those are the words that came to my mind and I can't change that, and I hate myself for that."No need to say sorry, you already said it." She answered me annoyed, when I was about to hold her by the arm, a hand stopped me."Don't touch her, now you're going to help her arrange YOUR wedding and you're still like that?" He said sarcastically, this was the first time he had done it in front of other people.He stood there as if he didn't care what other people would say, he held my hand tightly and didn't care even
