5. The Doubts

last update Last Updated: 2023-05-30 19:30:43

Despite her growing feelings for Alex, Rose couldn't shake off the nagging doubts that lingered in the back of her mind. She couldn't help but compare him to Jon, wondering if she was moving on too quickly, or if she was just settling for someone else.

As she lay in bed one night, staring up at the ceiling, she couldn't help but think about Jon. He had been her first love, and despite the pain of their breakup, she still had fond memories of their time together.

She wondered if she was being unfair to Alex if she was holding onto the past instead of giving him a chance to build something new with her. But the more she tried to push the thoughts aside, the stronger they became.

She decided to talk to Emily about it, hoping that her friend could provide some clarity. Emily listened patiently as Rose poured out her doubts and fears, offering a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to lean on.

"I think it's natural to have doubts," Emily said. "You went through a tough breakup, and it's normal to compare new relationships to old ones. But you have to remember that Alex is his person, and you can't hold him responsible for Jon's mistakes."

Rose nodded, realizing that Emily was right. She couldn't keep living in the past, holding onto what could have been with Jon. She had to give Alex a chance and let their relationship develop on its own.

Over the next few weeks, Rose tried to push the doubts aside, focusing on building her relationship with Alex. They went on more dates, exploring new places and trying new things together. Rose found herself laughing and smiling more than she had in a long time, feeling like she was truly moving on from the pain of her past.

But despite the good times, the doubts still lingered. They would creep up on her at the most unexpected moments, leaving her feeling confused and unsure.

One day, while they were out for a walk in the park, Alex sensed that something was wrong. He took her hand and looked at her with concern in his eyes.

"Is everything okay?" he asked gently.

Rose hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to answer. She didn't want to hurt him or make him feel like she wasn't fully committed to their relationship. But she also didn't want to keep hiding her doubts.

"I just...I don't know," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "I'm trying to move on from my past, but it's hard. I can't help but compare you to Jon sometimes, and it's not fair to you."

Alex's expression softened, and he squeezed her hand reassuringly. "It's okay," he said. "I understand that it takes time to heal from past relationships. I'm here for you, no matter what. And I'm not Jon. I'm me, and I care about you."

Rose felt a sense of relief wash over her as she looked into Alex's kind eyes. She realized that she had been putting too much pressure on herself, and their relationship. She had to be willing to let go of the past and trust that things would work out in their own time.

As they continued their walk through the park, Rose felt a renewed sense of hope and determination. She knew that there would still be doubts and challenges ahead, but she was willing to face them with Alex by her side. And for the first time in a long time, she felt like she was truly moving on.

Rose appeared to be in deep thought as she was thinking about the conversation she just had in the restaurant. But soon her gaze started changing, it seems as if she has already made up her mind. Elena appeared confused as she was driving the car, she has tried so many times now to know what exactly they'd discussed but Aunty Elena will always dismiss her by saying, "It's a personal matter little girl, you don't have to worry yourself too much on it." 'First of all, who is she calling a little girl?' 'From her beautiful face, I could tell she's not even up to twenty-five years old, heh. And why did she always talk to us as if she were some big sister?' Elena grumbled inwardly as she continued driving but she soon noticed Aunty Elena staring at her with a strange smile on her face. "Oh, shit! Why is she looking at me like that? Did she hear my

    ~ Atlantica ~ Jon sat cross-legged on the ground while looking at old man Feng with a stunned expression. He was amazed by how vast the world is and how powerful some ancient beings that have roamed the heavens are. Old Man Feng picked up a green jug on the table that was filled up with spiritual wine and poured it into a little green mug on the table. 'GULP!'With a gulping sound, old man Feng gulped down everything. He took a deep breath and smiled slightly. "Here! Take a look at this manual." Old man Feng said. With a wave of his hand, the old scroll appeared again and it mysteriously floated and landed in front of Jon. Jon watched as the Ancient scroll landed and picked it up. He wiped it with the back of his hand while holding it. "What is this?" Jon asked curiously. "That's a cultivation method for a low-level mage like you." old man Feng replied. "You still have to build your foundation and make sure you get used to channeling and controlling the energy of heaven and ea

    Lady Lilian looked up and asked. "Which room?" "According to one of the servants we inquired from, she said it's the fourth quarter on the fifth floor." one of the two guards said. "What about that old man? Has he noticed anything?" Lady Lillian asked softly. "We have no idea if he has already noticed but I know he would have been alerted and he would want to investigate the matter. Maybe the expert in that room on the fifth floor was doing something or was enraged and his powerful spiritual energy suddenly burst out." the tall guard said. "Hnn, that should be the case, you can go now. Let's see if it's some experts or it's a treasure." Lady Lilian said while picking up her Zither again. Both the guard nodded and immediately went out of the room. "Interesting." Lady Lilian mumbled softly with a smile and then continued with what she was doing. ~ Earth, 8:15 am, 2053 ~ "So why did you change your mind?" Rose asked while examining Aunty Elena warily. "And that's where my questi

    Every expert in the large Inn looked up in horror and awe, surprised by the strange yet horrifying burst of energy. Inside the fifth floor. "Young master, young master, you have to control yourself." The old man shouted slowly while looking at Jon with eyes filled with horror. Jon was oblivious to the commotion that he was causing as he sat cross-legged, caught up in the new surge of life and energy that was coursing through his veins and the superb changes that were going through all the parts of his being. 'Wow, this is how it feels to be a mage? This energy…'He was surprised and started checking himself but the high cry of someone in the room suddenly snapped him out of his trance. "Young master, young master…" Jon opened his eyes when he heard the panicked voice of the old man and quickly looked at him but to his surprise, he saw the old man trying to stand up with sweat pouring down from his body. "Old man Feng, what happened?" Jon asked when he noticed that something was

    ~ Atlantica ~In a large luxurious mansion that was filled with different types of luminous sea rocks, a young man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the exuberance field in front of him. The young man stood tall and was adorned with a blue robe. He was extremely handsome but his aura wasn't of humans. An elderly man walked up to him and bowed slightly while waiting in silence. "What happened?" the young man asked in a deep baritone voice without looking at the old man. "I receive a message that Mr. Alex has already arrived in our world and he is on his way here." the old man said respectively. "Oh? That kid is here already? I wonder what he is doing in our world this time around. I thought he was assigned by the master to be in charge of our organization on Earth." the young man mumbled to himself with a slight smile and then he said. "Tell him to come, I'll be waiting for him." "Okay, master." the old man said and then he turned and walked away. It would be surpri

    ~ Atlantica ~ Alex and his group moved closer to the guard at the front of the city's gate. "50 thousand ordinary Seastones to enter into the city." The guard said. Alex nodded and dropped two Earthsea Stones for the guard. "Here! You can have this." Alex said while looking at the stunned guard. "Oh…yeah, yeah, you can go inside the city now. Welcome to our world." The guard bowed slightly and made way for Alex and his entourage. But what happened threw everyone, both the few humans and the Atlanteans into a frenzy. "What? He just dropped two Earthstones?" a beautiful Atlantean lady exclaimed in surprise. "Oh, my God! Who is he?" another person asked in amazement. "Those must be very influential humans in the human world for them to be able to get their hands on many Earthsea stones like that." another person said. ******The guard looked at Alex and his groups as they entered the main gate with a smile but his smiles suddenly turned shrewd and he turned to the second guard b
