Chapter 19

I don't know what I am doing. I couldn't help but to watch Sean closely. My eyes were glued at him and I totally forgot to blink. He was wiping my arms with the warm water, just like what I did to him earlier. I couldn't feel its warmness. All I could feel is the deafening beating of my chest right now.

Seriously, what are you doing, Dahlia? You should have went home.

He looks sincere. Sean was too serious and focused just like what I always see when he's working.

“You should eat,” he said and began to serve food on the bed table. The food didn't catch my eyes. I was still watching every little move he made.

“I hope this is enough. If not, then I'll tell them to cook more.” The side of his lips rose.

Pull yourself together, Dahlia. Stop looking at him!

“No,” I commented, trying to find my words.

“This is a lot, actually.” I added and chuckled.

“Go on, eat.” He uttered and stood his hand under his chin, keeping his eyes at me.

My brows arched. “A

    Chapter 20 I've gone mad. When Sean heard my answer, he didn't hesitate to invade me entirely. I was sure that I was not sick anymore. But then, I felt really hot. I was sweating beyond the coldness that the air conditioner provides in the kitchen. My eyes were closed the entire time while I was feeling Sean's hands traveling on my body. My hands were attached to his nape while his kisses were going down on my body. I indeed lost all my strength when he began to kiss me. Right now that he was filling me with his kisses and while his hands were lurking around my body, I have no strength to even move anymore. Every slip of his hands on my skin makes me crave more. It's like a drug that makes me addicted to his touch that was warming and giving me so much pleasure. “Oh, sh*t, Sean.” I moaned, losing my right mind. He's driving me crazy. The pleasure was satiating me, and I knew that I could never stop even if I wanted to. Am I doing the right thing? I don't know anymore. All I

    Chapter 21I was sobbing while making Sean's coffee. I kept trying to shed all my tears, but I can't just hold it back. It feels like there was a stuck knife on my chest that I could feel it aching extremely. Why am I even crying? Fucking hell. How can I fall in love with my own boss? I tried so hard to convince myself that he's just benevolent to avoid all of this. But look at me right now, crying. I still ended up telling him what I feel for him and yet I never once heard from him if he wants me. Perhaps, he only wants me because there is a resemblance of Celeste to me. “She's here again,” I quickly wiped off the tears that were soaking my entire face as soon as I heard my colleagues enter the coffee room. I had to pretend that I didn't hear them at all as I didn't want them to notice that I was crying as well. “I would not be surprised if she ended up with Mr. Cohen,” the woman chuckled.“Of course, she's seducing him.” They both giggled and I didn't use my remaining strength

    Chapter 22“When are we going home, Sean?” I asked, still upset. Who would not be upset? He brought me to London all of a sudden. In one snap, we are now here in London for god's sake. “Come on, we just arrived here. Why are you asking when we will go back?” He chuckled. This is all a joke to the both of them. Fuck, Ford. He didn't even mention that his freakin’ bar is located in another country! “Because I don't even have clothes, Sean. I didn't even bring a toothbrush for Pete's sake!” I exclaimed while I was already brushing my hands on my arms, trying to create warmth on my skin. When Sean noticed that I was cold, he quickly hung his coat on my shoulders. I glanced at him for a second before I moved my eyes away as well. I didn't resist anymore and wore the coat. It's so damn cold here. “Don't worry, I asked them to buy everything you need.” He replied. We are both waiting for the car in front of the airport. I bit my lower lip. He asked them to buy everything I need. Does i

    Chapter 23My brows met with annoyance as soon as I heard the doorbell. I remained my eyes shut as I found it hard to open. I still want to sleep, maybe because of this comfortable place where I am right now. I just want to stay here and not get up all day. “Hold on!” I exclaimed and forced myself to wake up. As I sat on my bed, the huge mirror in front of me slapped me with how miserable I looked in the morning. My hair is a total mess and my face is crumpled this early. I had to roll my eyes as I began to walk lazily. “Who's that? It's freakin' early,” I even mumbled. I knew that I was still not myself. My mind is still sleeping peacefully. I couldn't help but to close my eyes a bit as I slowly opened the door. “Sean,” I uttered while yawning. I even stretched my arms in front of him. Wait…Sean is here? IT'S FUCKING SEAN! My jaw dropped and I quickly hid my face with my hands. What the hell? I look like a mess and he just saw my flaw! “What are you doing here?!” I was about

    Chapter 24“What's going on?” Ford asked when he went to the scene. I looked around and the people are now looking at us. I was still trembling. “You better ban that man here, Ford. He was harassing Dahlia,” Sean said firmly, eyeing the man he knocked out in one punch with his burning eyes. “He harassed you?” Ford asked. It was the first time I saw Ford being serious like this. His eyes were dark as if he could do something that this man would not like at all. “Y-Yes,” I replied with fear painted on my face. “Get him,” he said to the two men with huge muscles. They are probably the guards here. As soon as they picked him up on the floor and forced him to stand, my eyes widened when Ford suddenly punched him again. My lips parted as I was not expecting him to do that. I heard the entire crowd grasping. “Get him out of here,” Ford said with authority. “Are you okay?” Sean asked me. I nodded, still lost for words. “That’s why I didn't want to leave you alone,” he added and heaved

    Chapter 25The next day, my entire body somehow feels heavy. As I woke up, the sleeping Sean beside me greeted me. His arm was belted on my waist. It took me a few seconds before I processed everything that happened. My jaw just dropped while glancing at him. Now, I couldn't move because I was afraid that I might wake him up in a single move. I bit my lower lip when I checked under the covers, and saw myself naked. “Fuck,” I mumbled. When I made a single move with my leg, I almost screamed in pain. I had to bite my lower lip so hard to avoid creating noise that would wake him up. Damn it! My womanhood is sore! “Is it sore?” I froze immediately the moment I heard Sean's voice. His breath even hit my skin the moment he spoke. “It is,” I replied. My cheeks burned immediately. Why would I be shy? He already saw all of this! I couldn't even look at him. I heard him chuckle. “It will be really sore for a first timer,” my brows arched and now faced him beside me. “It seems like you're

    Chapter 26I don't know how many hours we stayed in the car after I found out what Charlotte dug in. I was totally in awe. I couldn't even shed my own tears while I was looking nowhere. Charlotte was just beside me, sitting with me in silence. I know she's hurt to see me in pain. I have never felt this before and I didn't know that love has the most excruciating strike of pain. I gave half of me to Sean, even the most precious thing that the women have. I thought I was the one whom he loved the night that I saw purity from those eyes; I was fooled. “What now?” Charlotte asked. “What's your plan?” However, no matter what hatred I have, it cannot conceal the truth that my heart screams his name. What hurts is, his heart screams Charlotte. “Would you be mad at me if I still want to love him?”“Dahlia,” she called firmly. I smiled bitterly as I moved my eyes away from her. Of course she would not like it. She cares for me so much. We've been treating each other as sisters for our enti

    Chapter 27“Celeste is my cousin, Dahlia.” My entire world suddenly stops. His last words are echoing inside my head. However, it seems like I just couldn't process everything in my head. Did I hear him right? Celeste, Sean's ex fiancé, is Ford's cousin? “The first time I met you in Sean's office, I knew what Sean's plan would be. How can't he? It looks like his fucking dead fiancé just rose again. Different body, different person.” He chuckled and shook his head unbelievably. “I warned you that day because I know that you are not Celeste. I even asked my people to investigate your identity just to prove that you are a different person—and you are. That's why I continued giving you warnings about Sean,” he explained.“How was he after Celeste’s death? How were you when your cousin died?” That made him pause. He avoided my eyes and for the first time, I read something through his eyes. The glimpse of sorrows cannot be concealed from those eyes no matter how he avoids my gazes. “S

    Epilogue1 month later…“It's been a while, Sean.” I muttered as I placed the flowers on top of his tombstone. I paused when I felt how the cold breeze embraced me and I felt like it was Sean. It sounds crazy, I know. But then, for the past month that Sean is gone, I never really felt like he really left us. There are these weird moments where I feel like he was around me, responding to any of my thoughts through the wind. “Perhaps you and Celeste are really destined forever,” I added and made a chuckle before my eyes landed at Celeste's tombstone beside Sean as well. I was the one who decided to bury him beside Celeste. Well, I know that Celeste has a biggest place in his heart and this is where everything started. If it is not for Emman, I would feel like I was only an extra to their love story—perhaps, I am Sean's side story. I placed other flowers at Celeste's tombstone as well. Looking at her tombstone reminds me of the day I witnessed how miserable Sean was because of his de

    Chapter 80“I'm sorry, Dahlia…” Nathan uttered to me right after I still brought Sean to the hospital. He eyed me with so much despair, mourning already while I was standing there with my tears couldn't stop from pouring out of my eyes. “I'm afraid what we fear just happened,” he added. The moment I heard that from Nathan, I fell on the ground, losing all my strength. I wanted to scream but I felt like I lost my voice. I wanted to cry aloud but I felt like I had no strength to. My world shattered into a million pieces again and it felt like everything just stopped. “I'm sorry,” Nathan's voice cracked. He tried to hug me, but I moved away and quickly stood up to see Sean once again. “Sean,” I called, feeling so weak. I wanted to hear his voice and see his smile that I used to admire, but then, I knew that it is not possible anymore, which breaks me even more. My hands were shivering but I managed to grasp his now cold hands. He died while he was with me to the place where he first

    Chapter 79“They want to see you, Sean.” I uttered. Emman was still with us, sitting on the other side of the bed. He looked away, and I knew that he didn't want to see them or should I say, he didn't want them to see him looking feeble like this. I heaved a light sigh while still holding his hand. “Don't you want to see them? They have been worried about you, especially Ford.” I mentioned trying to convince him. He shut his eyes firmly before he finally made a nod at me. “Really?” I asked delightedly. “Yeah,” he replied. I smiled from ear to ear after hearing that.“Hold on, I'll call them.” I quickly said before I ran out of the room to call the three of them waiting downstairs. “Can you calm down? You'll see him,” I heard Charlotte say to Ford who was walking endlessly in front of them. “He wants to see you,” I said, loud enough for them to hear me. All their eyes shifted at me from upstairs while I was wearing a soft smile, feeling a glimpse of hope. After a few weeks of no

    Chapter 78I was staring at the coffee in front of me, watching it become cold. I am at home now. Later, I will go back to Sean's house to look after him again. I feel tired, but I know that it is not because of taking care of Sean; I'm tired of seeing him struggling and hearing his screams each day. I feel like it traumatized me. His screams stay in my head and I still hear it wherever I am. “You okay?” Knox asked and sat beside me. I had to pull myself back together as I don't want to worry him. “Yeah, I think so.” I replied as I forced myself to draw a tiny smile. “Are you sure? I know you, Dahlia. You can't hide things from me,” he added and I felt his hand invade my hand on the table. That was the moment I glanced at him—and in one snap, I felt my eyes watered immediately. I look like a kid who cries automatically after seeing her father. “Perhaps, not.” I replied. Knox did what he always does. He pulled me closer to him and hid my face on his broad chest. I began to sob and

    Chapter 77“AHHHHHHH!” “Sean, please! Let's bring you to the hospital!” I exclaimed for the third time while everything was a mess inside his room. I couldn't do anything while he was shouting in pain and crumpling on his bed. He looks so pale and weak and yet I couldn't do anything to help him out. He was panting, chasing his breath before he just grabbed the bread knife from the side table of his bed and now glanced at me, pointing me out with that damn knife. “Kill me, Dahlia! Just fucking kill me, please!” At that moment that he was almost begging me to just kill him, I felt how many daggers pierced my chest that I knew it was bleeding so much. My tears began to betray me again while staring at Sean. His eyes were glazing over while he was holding the bread knife so tight. “What are you waiting for? K-Kill me! AHHHHHH!” The knife fell from his grasp as he screamed again and started to crumple in so much pain on his bed. “Sean,” my voice broke as I went beside him and held hi

    Chapter 761 month later…Some people hate to stare right through the sky when it is too bright. They get blind from it and the sky's brightness is hurting their eyes. But then, I am different. Watching how each cloud moved slowly in front of me felt like it was dragging me along with it as well. Seeing the beautiful color of the sky along with the sunshine shining upon us captivates me entirely. I heaved a heavy sigh as I closed my eyes calmly, feeling the heat of the sun shining upon my skin. I just offered myself there, laying down on the sand and enjoying the peace. I could hear the noises of the people around me who were having their own worlds but nothing can beat the deafening but mesmerizing sound of the ocean’s waves. I could hear every move of it, back and forth. The sand on my skin was so gentle that I felt even more comfortable with it. “Wake up, woman.” My eyes remained closed even after hearing that voice. I don't need a minute to identify whose voice is that. I heard

    Chapter 75 “Have you asked him?” Nathan asked. He came here this morning and I guess he only stopped by to ask about that. I placed the coffee on the small table in our living area before I glanced at him and sat beside him. “I did,” I replied. “He already knows that truth as well about Emman,” I added and wore that tiny smile. “How sure are you that Sean will live if he takes the treatment?” I asked again, even though Sean already refused to take it no matter how I persuaded him.Nathan paused and looked away for a moment before he blew out a little sigh.“As I said it's a risk, Dahlia. Who knows? He might still live if he decides to take the trea—”“And if he doesn't?” It shut him up. I witnessed how he was lost for words the moment I brought up the other side of Sean's situation. No matter how we avoid thinking about that negative side, we cannot run away from it; we cannot deny that death is indeed chasing him, trying to collect his life. “Dahlia, you know that I'm just doing

    Chapter 74 “Do you think he won't hate me for being absent all those years?” Sean asked while he was driving. We are already near our house. After I revealed the truth to him and right after we fought, we reconciled for the sake of Emman. I still feel bad everytime he mentions his absence, which was not just his fault, but mine. I do not blame myself as I know that I had a deep reason to leave and hide my pregnancy from him, however, I couldn't help but wonder what change could it make if I came back and just told him that I was conceiving our child. “Emman thinks like an adult,” I uttered as the side of my lips rose. That is one of the things that makes me proud as his mother. “Like Claire before?” He asked and chuckled. “Yeah,” I paused for a moment. “Raising him alone wasn't hard. Not because Knox was there, but because Emman stood up with me like a real man beyond his age. He did everything to avoid worrying me and making me feel a headache. He's matured at his young age,” I

    Chapter 73“Emman is your son, Sean…he's our son,” I bursted into tears as soon as I said that. After carrying it for 6 years, I finally spilled the truth to Sean. His lips parted but he remained stunned. He didn't move as if he became a statue who was still absorbing it in his head. Instead, a single tear just fell from his left eyes while his eyes were firm and surprised, glued at me. “I-I’m so sorry, Sean.” He dodged my touch before I could even reach his arm. He stood up and turned his back at me, facing his desk. He didn't say a word, but I could see right through his face that he was upset because of what I had done. “You were pregnant?” He uttered as he faced me again. I nodded slowly in tears. What I just told him weakened him. I can see that from his eyes right now. I was only trembling while looking at him. My chest was aching every pound of it. “And you didn't tell me?” He asked unbelievably with unfairness invading his eyes. “I'm sorry, Sean. I'm so so—”“Bullshit, D
