The sun was setting down in the west while the sky was slowly being eaten by the darkness. The only light that gave the bright was the light coming from the moon, and the wind blew harder as it touched her body, making her feel chilled. She was sprawled on the floor, her head bloated with blood. She felt a hot liquid on her head that was spilling on the ground and touches it while looking down at her palm.
"Blood?!" she blurted out, a tear welled up in her eyes and escape from it, rolling at the corner of her eyes down to her ear. She can't believe it happened to her, her eyes observed the surroundings, she saw a white tall abandoned building her but its color is fading due to a dirt stain covered on it, her head feels like tearing into pieces, her body is very weak that she can’t even move any parts of her while she slowly losing her senses when she perceives a girl wearing a school uniform with a group of men but she can’t recognize any of their fa
Mr. Wright had been awake for several nights since Bella had departed, but his condition was worsening by the night. He'd been fighting with himself as his senses faded and a tragic scene he'd seen in his dreams became more serious and deeper. He couldn't remain awake once he'd fallen asleep.His intellect is in turmoil, while his heart is in agony. He's been reading books in the work area throughout the night and lingering in the living room in the morning while waiting for his wife to return."Sir, where will I send you?" he heard his assistant ask as he was sitting in the passenger seat inside the car."Send me to La Bella building," he replied, Luke turned to him and said, "but I heard that you are banned from coming to the firm."He glanced at him and his jaw clenched, "Who said that?""I heard that your wife instructed their security to not let you in," he explained.
"Hey, dude! Don’t you have a plan tonight?" Matthew inquires while reading a book."Why are you asking?" Zachary replied. He’s leaning on the counter stool while filling up a glass of wine."You used to go out and have fun with your girls," he stated, glancing at his brother and glancing back at the book he was holding."Oh."Matthew smirked at him, "what ‘oh’?""I don’t feel like going out," he sounds bored, swirling the wine in the glass before he sips it."How come that a Casanova suddenly becomes bored in a bar?" he interrogates.He walked to him, sat next to his brother, crossed his legs, and replied, "I’m not a Casanova, I am friendly."Matthew stood up, tapping his brother’s shoulder. "You should not dilly dally or else she might steal from someone else," he advised bef
Li Na and Julia are awakened by the sound coming from one of their phones. Li Na moves her hand trying to answer her phone while her eyes are still closed. She reaches it somewhere. Placing it on her ear, before she could ask the caller, it shouted at her, saying, "Li Na! How did I end up going home?!!"She was upset when she heard that because she could still remember that they slept in the private room and no one went back home, "I don’t know. As far as I remember, we slept here together in the
Zachary had hardly returned home and had been drinking himself to death for days and nights. He's been squandering his time since Li Na departed. He refused to complete his medical training and did not show up for the photoshoots. "Dude! What are you up to?" He heard Matthew’s voice. Matthew came to the bar after learning from his brother’s friend that he had been staying in the lounge days and nights drinking wine. His gloomy gaze turned to his older brother standing on his side upon hearing his voice, "What are you doing here?" He was slumped against the cushion. "I heard that you’ve been like this lately. What is your problem, dude?" Matthew looks at him worriedly. "Nothing. I’m doing good!" His voice sounded desperate, chuckling in front of him as tears dripped out of his eyes. Ezekiel had rushed into the room. Seeing his younger brother in th
Bella opened her eyes and felt uncomfortable about her physique. She dropped her attention to her body and discovered herself shackled to the chair. Her pulse was pounding in her chest as she realized she had been abducted. She tried to yell for help, but her lips were taped shut. She shakes her head, her gaze darting everywhere. She can't believe the setting in her vision was real. She tells herself that she was merely having hallucinations and seeing things. She rushes to close her eyes, hoping that closing them would take her out of this nightmare she's experiencing, but she's still in the location she'd hoped to leave. She tried to remove the ropes from her body by rocking the seat she is seated on, but she failed. Although her mouth was covered, she made sounds with it. She noticed a shadow and the sound of footsteps approaching. She was at a loss for what to do. Her mind was torn between pretending to sleep and confronting them wit
It was the year 2011. Bella and Ezekiel attended the same school. Ezekiel was in a higher grade while Bella was in a lower grade because of their age difference. "Ni zai ganshenme? (What are you doing?)" Xiu Ying looks behind him and turns her sight to her locker while Ezekiel is watching her digging inside the locker. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail. She was wearing a white vest underneath her white-collar blouse, paired with a black mini skirt that flaunts her flawless legs, and black shoes. "Wo yao chi lingshi (I am getting my snacks)" she replied. "Tingzhi sousuo. Wo geile bie ren (Stop searching. I gave it to someone else, "Ezekiel told her. She annoyedly faced him, "You shouldn’t have touched my things! What will I eat now? " She throws tantrums and squats d
"Do you believe we won't find you there?" Bella screamed when she heard a man's voice behind her. Ezekiel drew her closer to his body and fled with her, but they were stopped by a group of guys. He concealed her behind his back. "What are you looking for?!?" He boldly inquired.Dylan placed the metal bat he was holding on his own shoulder and stepped a little closer to them. "We don’t want you, dude! If you want to be alive, leave now, "he mumbled."No! You can’t get her! I will not let you get her from me, "he insisted as he covered his body to not let them come over her.He moved Bella to the side near the balcony to keep her safe throughout the battle. The guys encircled him and assaulted him one by one, but he fought back. He hit two of them in the body, but someone behind him hit him in the head. Bella was terrified as she saw him tumble to t
Julia rushed into the W Design Studio, "Miss. I would like to speak to Mr. Wright now, "she suggested to the staff at the information desk."May I know if you have an appointment with him this morning?" she inquires. The staff can tell that she’s tense by looking at her, but they can’t abide by the rules in their company."I don’t have an appointment—""I’m sorry ma'am, but we can’t let you in. "Mr. Wright is busy today. If you want to talk to him, you have to ask for an appointment," the staff didn’t let her finish her statement.Julia frowns at them, turning around, flipping her hair irritably, "How can I talk to him???"She observed the waiting area and noticed which direction the employees were entering and exiting. She thought of an idea after seeing a group of employees coming. She ran through them and hid, but the sta

Everything feels like a dream… A roller coaster ride that is full of excitement. It is still vivid in my memories of how I struggle to fight for my dream, I am thinking every night about how I could end this misery, and I don’t know what to do after I finish my studies since business isn’t my passion. I realized that I wouldn’t get this far if I stay in my comfort zone and live my life following the rules. I am glad that I have the courage to take a small step. And I didn’t realize that the small step I took would finally change my entire life… and brought me to you. As I walk to it, I have decided to leave the shadow that’s obstructing me to aim for my biggest dream. I attempted to escape from the past but it keeps on haunting me and fate accompanies me to you. I have known a lot of people in a vast strange country to my eyes but you are one of t
“I think I found out why she’s being frustrated,” Julia stated. “What is it about?” Julia whispers to her what she’s thinking about their friend, Bella came back and is quietly seated. They stand beside her and curiously stared at her, “Bella. Would you mind telling us how long you are dating Ezekiel?” Li Na questioned her. She cocked her head to her friend as she stared at her furiously, “why do you want to know?” “We just want to know how long are you guys dating since you got back together,” Julia puts her hands on her waist while Bella is fanning herself with her hand. “Exactly! Also, we wanted to know when will you two getting married because you guys are getting older. You should hurry,” Li Na added. “Precisely! If I didn’t lie two years ago to him, I’m sure till now he’s still not making an action to chase you,” Julia stated.
"At first, I didn’t believe in love at first sight but when I met you, I believe in everything even the pigs don’t actually fly." He chuckled, his hands were shaking while he was reading the vow in front of everyone. "Also, I don’t plan on getting married, but the moment you stepped into my life, my world spin around and my plans had magically changed as if God had given me an angel to lighten my worthless existence. Now that I have you in my life, I promise to hold your hand tightly even if a disaster comes to break us apart; I will continue to stand by you and defend you. I love you now, tomorrow, and every day, Li Na."Bella can’t help herself from crying after hearing his pledge, as if she’s the one getting married at that moment. Her ex-spouse offers her a tissue. Her ex-husband hands her a tissue. She took it and turned around, brushing her tears away as the priest asked the pair to kiss.They gathered at
Julia joyfully rushed to the door to see Bella, but she was shocked and her grin vanished when she saw Amanda and Ezekiel being very sweet and laughing with each other. She shifted her gaze across the road and saw Bella Chen, who had just gotten out of her vehicle. Her grin returned as she saw her friend turning back and preparing to flee. "BELLA!!!" She shouted aloud her name, causing the two to turn around and gaze behind them.She is wearing a white shirt beneath her long-sleeved sky blue coat, which is paired with a sky blue mini-skirt, and flat shoes. Her foot is still bandaged, and her curly hair is disheveled as if she brushed it with her finger.
"Callista?!!" Felicity and the models called out her name, seeing her prostrated on the ground. Her barefoot were badly injured and bleeding. They rushed up to the distraught designer, who was sobbing uncontrollably. Ezekiel's staff and brother saw how he abandoned her on the side of the road. Matthew saw how hurt she was just like his brother years ago when he was forced to sign the divorce papers. He witnessed how Ezekiel was wasted, intoxicated, and tormented. It was the most heartbreaking incident that her colleagues witnessed. She was always happy, reserved, and mysterious when they were in France, but when she stepped off the plane in New York, she became unstable and emotional. "What happened to you? How did you get the wound on your left foot?" Felicity worriedly asked. "And where are your shoes?" Zoe wondered. Her tears streamed down her cheeks in torrents. Her body shook unsteadily
The Paris Fashion models, together with their most prestigious designer, have arrived at the venue and are preparing all the things they need for the fashion show. While Felicity is talking with the system and lighting technician, Ezekiel and his team have also arrived. They are invited to watch the fashion show."Mr. Wright, we’ve met again," When Felicity greets him, he nods at her. He had no idea why she greeted him till he remembered that they had already met before at the hotel.Some of the visitors invited to the event are the reporters. They are sitting in the front row while the audience is sitting at the bottom, and others are standing, like Ezekiel, who was observing from the corner. "I can’t wait to see Miss Callista," he heard the teenager say as they wen
Felicity seemed to notice Callista being silent the whole journey all the way to the hotel. "How are you feeling, Callista?" She inquires."I'm... alright," she simply replied.Felicity gave the medicine to her when they reached their room. "You have to take it wherever you go.""Thank you," she accepted the medicine. She laid down her body on the bed, trying to go back to sleep, but her mind was in trouble. Her thoughts keep on thinking about him and keep on asking herself how he is doing now, turning her body back and forth, but her eyes are wide awake while everybody is already asleep. She turns on the music playlist on her phone as she plugs an earphone into her ears. She listened to the songs till her eyes got tired and closed on their own."Ezekiel! I’m sorry for leaving you before. I realized that I love you after a long time of being separated from you. Can you give me a chance to b
The W Design Studio has received a new project from an international client, which will be hosted in New York City. Their client requested a fashion stage four feet wide and two-thirds the length of the space. They also went through the specifics with them. Ezekiel intended to delegate the project to his employees, but when he heard that Callista would be the one to utilize the venue, he took on the task himself. They have given months to finish the project and the customer will notify them when they arrive in NYC and use it. He also offered a sound and light system to their package even though it is not included. The studio had been very busy doing the project. Ezekiel wanted it to be perfect to impress their customer and make it more suitable for the designer’s idea because he is also a fan of Callista and wanted to have a short conversation with the designer.
