last update Last Updated: 2022-11-27 21:26:08

[katalina]

Since the nightmare occurred, I lost the ability to sleep back again.

Perhaps a glass of milk would suffice right? Because I badly need to go back to bed.

Apart from the fact that I have work for tomorrow, I don't also want Hunter to notice my sudden disappearance.

Heck, out of nowhere, I found myself having the feeling of assessing my situation as a silver lining.

I knew from the very beginning that my heart is at risk from being broken hearted.

But it could also be a chance for me to gather more evidences to create the perfect exposé that I've been looking.

Wait... what exactly happened?

    [katalina]flashbackI love the sound of the sea clasping on the sand. It calms my senses. And the summer breeze of the air whenever I smell near the sea... ahh... heaven! It's five o'clock in the morning. And I'm sitting on the sand, facing the sea as I embrace myself to see the sunrise. Nothing can compare to the morning horizon during sunrise. The clouds and the skies looked like they were a painting. Pulling my knees closer to my chest and hugging it, the corners of my lips curved into a smile as I watched the sun slowly rising from the sky.

It irked me until now to recall what he did.I heard Hunter softly chuckling. Perhaps he saw my eyeroll. “You’re still mad at me?” he asked.I scoffed. Of course I’m still mad at you, dummy!Like who wouldn’t be mad when you’re taking a nap at afternoon then Hunter woke me up by pouring a bucket of water on my face.I had a peaceful dream! But that vanished when Hunter did his stupidity. I thought that I was drowning already!“Get away from me,” I said coldly. It was just a n emotion to show him how pissed I was of what he did.Hunter scooted near to me and kissed me on the cheeks.My face turned tomato red for what he did. I wasn’t expecting it at all!I soon then felt Hunter’s big and muscular arms, wrapping on my slender waist. He leaned his head on my shoulders and gently pleaded, “I’m sorry, Amanda.

    [katalina]Hunter took my hand and we evaded from the shoreline. "I'm hungry," he announced as we walked to the center of the island he just bought. I heard his words. But I couldn't take off my haze from our hands. He was holding my hand with care as if it was fragile. Today marks our first day as official lovers. I mean, with labels now.

When we arrived at the restaurant, there were staffs already inside. One of the waiter opened the door for us. "Good morning, Sir Hunter and Miss." Hunter greeted them back. A nod with a smile was my response. There was a table prepared elegantly. So, I assume that it was the table that is set up for us. And indeed I was right. I was about to sit on the chair when Hunter spoke. "Wait, stop!" I did what I was told and gave him a confused look. What the hell is wrong? Hunter trekked nea

    [katalina]Hunter and I enjoyed our breakfast. We stayed inside the restaurant after the feast. "What are your long term plans?" Hubter asked out of the blue. I chuckled. "Why are you asking? You sounded like the interviewee of the final interview of a job," I jokingly responded. Hunter laughed. He placed both his elbows on the table and rested his chun underneath his palms. "I feel like you know so much about me. And I know less about you. And since we are official lovers, I too, deserve to know your goals in life," Hunter flashed a charming smile. Oh God how genuine this man was. Am I wrong for judging him quickly? The smile on my face disappeared. What is my long term anyway? I know the answer. But why am I thinking twice? "Amanda?" Hunter snapped his fingers at me. I jolted in surprise. "S-Sorry," I cleared my throat and projected a forced smile. "To have a salon," I lied. Hunter nodded his head. "We'll make that happen," he winked at me. He began to speak about inves

"I want to kiss you so bad right now until you run out of breath," Hunter confessed. Katalina tried to hide his blushing cheeks. "D-Do it," she said in a low voice.

Like stealing someone's identity and not being completely transparent to Hunter. A lot is at stake in their state. Both their hearts and careers.One wrong move, and everything around and inside them would shatter into million pieces. Hunter chuckled. "I mean I could.

"Amanda—" "J-Just drive the speedboat and pretend that this did not happen at all!" she quickly said. Hunter sighed. "It's not that I don't like it but—"Katalina shushed her. "Shut up," she said.
