Summer’s Point of ViewWith unwavering concentration, I fixed my gaze upon the majestic skyscrapers that pierced the heavens, their towering presence commanding attention from the topmost floor of the luxurious hotel. The view stretched out as far as the eye could see, with rolling hills cascading into a vibrant tapestry of colors, each hue more vivid than the last. The sky above was a masterpiece in itself, painted with wisps of cotton candy clouds that seemed to dance in harmony with the gentle breeze. The soft, gentle glow emanating from each light source created a captivating ambiance, as if the city itself was adorned with a celestial aura.A hushed stillness descended, carried on by the gentle breeze of the air conditioner. Its cool embrace seemed to wrap around the entire space, creating an atmosphere that was both tranquil and chilling. In that moment, a flood of memories from four years ago washed over me, each one resurfacing with vivid clarity.The room became a canvas upon
Summer’s Point of ViewThe following day, we arrived at the villa early and settled in. However, Celine opted not to accompany us. She mentioned that her condominium was returned to her, but she did not reveal who gave it back. I felt guilty because she had sold it to join me and even invested in our small business. I refrained from questioning her any further and simply respected her decision. Nevertheless, I assured her that once I had saved enough money, we could return to another country if she wanted to join us again.On the other hand, Steven and Stefani were still chatting away. My daughter was over the moon after Steven promised to enroll her in one of New York’s exclusive schools. Although I wanted to object, I couldn’t bear to ruin their joyous moment.“But my teacher told us that a man and a woman can’t be in the same room unless they are a couple. Does that mean that Mister and Mom are in a relationship?”I was caught off guard when Stefani asked her innocent question. We
Steven’s Point of ViewIn the territory of her enticing presence, her once porcelain skin effortlessly changed into a warm, sun-kissed hue, radiating a spellbinding beauty that was impossible to resist. Her delicate fingers, slender and graceful, possessed an irresistible allure that tempted me to indulge in the fantasy of savoring their touch, all while being seduced by the intoxicating depths of her eyes.I imagined the perfect harmony between her supple hips and my arms, as if they were destined to intertwine flawlessly. Her lustrous hair cascaded down her back, now reaching the length of her waist, resembling a flowing masterpiece I had etched into the depths of my fantasies, forever carved and impossible to eliminate. Yet, how could I forgive this woman who shattered me?Thinking someone else’s arms embrace her delicate figure, a seething fury consumed me from within. The intensity of my emotions eclipsed any other sensation, leaving me covered in a tempestuous storm of anger.I
[Note: The long wait is over!!!!!!! Enjoy these chapters!!!] Summer’s Point of View I tightly shut my eyes and surreptitiously pinched his side, attempting to retrieve my hand. However, his grip was too firm and unyielding. I then raised my gaze to the three individuals standing before us. Amby was fixated on our hands, while Mister Klein, whom he had referred to earlier, peering at Steven with astonishment. Calvin, the third person, stood rooted to the spot, squinting at us in disbelief. Yes, I once encountered this man in Sweden and our interaction was brief and straightforward - he simply asked me for directions! Had it not been for his distinctive habit of sniffing the air, I would have forgotten him entirely. And now, when questioned about the encounter, I foolishly denied ever having met him. In truth, I was afraid that Steven might interpret the situation in an unfavorable light. But why should I care what he thinks of me? “You didn’t mention you have a beautiful… wife, Mis
Summer’s Point of View Taking a deep breath, I set aside the tissue I had been using to wipe the table and shifted my attention towards Amby. With a slight smile, I replied, “I don’t believe it’s any of your concern, Amby. My daughter is mine, and I don’t see how it matters whether others are aware of her or not. Do I require validation?” “But Senior Carter harbors a strong animosity towards you. If he were to find out—” “So what?” I held her gaze. “Since when did it become a crime to have my own child? It seems like you’re meddling too much, Amby. Are you truly concerned about Senior Carter, or is it your own insecurities?” “What did you just say…?” “I’ve already given you four years to pursue Steven,” I said with a smirk. “However, it seems that no amount of time will give you a chance with him.” “W-what?” Her eyes lit up with fury as she asserted, “Steven and I were finally improving! Why do you have to come back?!” ‘Where did the soft and gentle Amby go? Was it just an acti
Summer’s Point of View I gathered the papers and carefully examined every page. It dawned on me that this contract was identical to the one we had signed four years ago, with the only change being the names. I was now Party A, and he was Party B. Moreover, the contract duration was not just three months as I had previously thought, but rather three years. “Wait...three years?!” I set the papers down and gazed at him with a puzzled expression. “Why would I agree… for three years with you?” “Do you not want to?” he inquired, flashing a slight grin. “No problem. Just deliver the message to Harvey. I’ll see him in court.” I gave him a stern look in response to his words. “Your terms have too many demands, Mr. Carter!” “But you sought the same thing as me before.” “But three months and three years are vastly different spans of time!” He simply shrugged his shoulders and said, “I will not force you if you don’t want it.” As he was about to return the papers to his drawers, I interve
Summer’s Point of View“A favor?” I inquired. “I’ll do my best, Senior. However, my life has undergone a significant change, and I’m not sure if I’m still capable of fulfilling anything.”He shook his head and stated, “Whether you have the money or not, you are still the Summer I know. I regret holding so much resentment towards you, despite knowing that you had no fault in the unfortunate ending of Steven’s parents.” He looked away and scanned the garden. “I have harbored so much pain in my heart that it has become toxic in my mind. And I regret it…”I released Stefani from my hold and got down on my knees in front of Senior Carter. “You don’t need to concern yourself with it, Senior. I’ve never held any resentment towards you. I fathom your frustration and anguish, so let’s leave everything in the past and progress towards a better future.”“Thank you,” he whispered, then shifted his gaze back to Stefani. “About my favor…”“Yes?”“If it’s alright with you, would you mind allowing yo
Summer’s Point of ViewWe were relieved when Senior’s breathing stabilized, allowing us to relax a bit. However, it had already been two days, and he was still not leaving Nana’s coffin. Today was Nana’s final day.As I sat there quietly observing, I couldn't help but notice how tightly he clung to the coffin as if he couldn't bear to let it go. His silence was worrisome and left me with a sense of concern.Nestled within the depths of the individual’s being, there existed a heart of remarkable tenderness. Like a delicate flower, it possessed an innate capacity to love and be loved, radiating warmth and affection for all who crossed its path. Yet, this tender heart was not without its vulnerabilities. It stood as a fragile entity, susceptible to the harsh winds of life that threatened to shatter its very essence. With each beat, it carried the weight of past hurts and the scars of emotional wounds, a testament to the profound depth of its capacity to feel. The depths of sorrow and mou
