Chapter 44Just like the waves from the ocean that never stops from coming back to the shore, everything came back as well and hit me all over again as soon as our eyes met together. The waves of our memories and the waves of the striking pain in my chest came back and hit the spot. “Sean,” I began to tremble through my spine. My knees became feeble all of a sudden and I almost lost my balance. The waves that hit the shore soaked my feet, and I didn't know if it was the one dragging me to lose my strength or it is the reason that Sean Cohen is in front of me after telling me to leave his life. “I should leave. It was nice meeting you,” I didn't absorb what the stranger guy told me anymore the moment I saw him leaving through my peripheral vision. My eyes were pinned at Sean that I wasn't able to give him an eye. “W-What are you doing here?” I had enough bravery to still ask that. “Can we talk?” My eyes watered. I swear, I was only trying to hold back my tears. After telling me a
Chapter 45 Third Person's POV “Why is he here? You didn't tell me that he's coming with you for god's sake!” Charlotte exclaimed with frustration filling her up. She was not expecting to see Sean together with Ford. “I'm sorry, okay? He talked to me. I saw how sincere he was so I allowed him to know where Dahlia is.” Ford heaved a heavy sigh while watching Ford and Dahlia talk from afar. Looking at them, it seems like everything is not going well. They could see how mad and hurt Dahlia was while glancing at Sean. “And you believed him? What if he doesn't really mean it? Who knows? He might just can't forget about Celeste so he wants Dahlia to stay with her,” she shut her eyes emphatically. This is making her gone mad. “Dahlia is here to have some peace, Ford. She's here to try moving on and breathe from everything—and yet you brought the man whom she's trying to erase in her heart,” it weakens her. She couldn't afford to watch her best friend falling for someone who can't even re
Chapter 46I quickly pushed Sean away from me before the kiss become deeper. It's like a sin that I was trying to avoid. My eyes landed on the broken pieces of the glass that he dropped the moment he invaded my lips. I didn't even know that he dropped it. I totally forgot that he was holding a glass of water. Instead if talking to him, I quickly started to pick up all the broken pieces of the glass that spilled on the floor. “Let me do that,” he said and stole everything from me as he did it already by himself. Once again, may eyes landed at him as I watched him cleaning it. It didn't fade. I still feel it; the loud beating of my chest. I knew that my heart is winning again over my brain. Watching Sean like this melts me like ice. It softened me, just like what he always do. “I'll get you another one,” he added before his eyes finally went back at me. “What happened here?” We both froze the moment I heard Charlotte. Her brows crossed while she was trying to figure out what happe
Chapter 472 years later…“Sean, you're gonna be late!” I exclaimed aloud that it almost echoed in the entire mansion. I was hurrying to prepare the table for the breakfast because I know that Sean has to go early to work. While me, well, it's my day off today so I can do everything I want to do. “Is he awake?” Cristal asked while helping me prepare the table. “I hope so. I swear, I tried to drag him out of the bed earlier.” I heaved a heavy sigh and shook my head. “You go in the kitchen, I'll do this.” She said and stole the plates from me that I was just about to put on the table. “Yeah, right. I'm still cooking,” I quickly ran in the kitchen and finished cooking the food that I prepared for breakfast. I cooked fried chicken and some vegetables to still keep us healthy. Well, Sean is a workaholic person. Because I am his secretary and his girlfriend as well, I became workaholic, too. Funny, isn't it? “Sean, what the hell? You have a fucking meeting!” The bomb has already explod
Chapter 48I pretended to be asleep until Sean left again for work. He won't let me work in this condition as well. As soon as he left, I quickly went out of our room even though I was feeble. “Hey, I thought you don't feel well? You should take a rest,” Cristal said when she found me on my way to Sean's office in his house. I saw she paused when she saw my teary eyes. I heard it out loud. Sean said ‘I love you’ to Celeste, which slaps me with the truth again and again. In two fucking years that I thought we were happy, I was completely wrong. I was only fooling myself in two damn years that Sean is madly in love with me. “Ms. Dahlia!” Cristal exclaimed when I ignored her and quickly barged inside the office of Sean. My eyes landed on his desk and I didn't waste time opening his drawers. My lips parted and it seemed like I was lost for words. Tears began to drip down on my face as I saw all the pictures of him and Celeste there. My hands were shivering and I dropped all of it on t
Chapter 49I am two weeks pregnant. That is glued in my head. I was outside of Dr. Knox’ clinic while my mind was somewhere else. I was having a hard time absorbing everything I heard from the doctor. I feel like I was flying with my feeble body. I could not move, even my eyes were pinned on the plain wall in front of me. This day is indeed not for me. First, Sean slapped me with the truth. In two fucking years, his love for Celeste didn't waver and I didn't get any piece of it. Now, the doctor just told me that I am pregnant. Perhaps, it's better to hear from him that I've been dizzy these past few days because I have an illness. The worst is, I am pregnant. What am I supposed to do right now? I can't go back to Sean. I don't want to go back. I'm so scared of what's waiting for me and this baby in the future. Would I be able to raise this baby? I fuck off. “Dahlia,” I heaved a silent sigh and pulled myself back to my senses when Dr. Knox came to his office. I asked him to double
Chapter 50“Ready?” Charlotte asked when all our things were already in the car. Today is the day we leave the Philippines and go to another country. Ford and Charlotte settled everything in one day, including my passport and everything that we will need. Now, we are going to fly to Australia. “I think so,” I uttered as I drew a short smile. I glanced at my belly. I could see a glimpse of my pregnancy already. “Living in Australia would be great, Dahlia. You will be able to start a new life, away from all of this.” She smiled at me softly as she caressed my belly gently. “You will have a good life, mark your Aunt's words, baby.” I quickly chuckled when she talked with the baby that I am still carrying in my womb. “Come on, guys. We don't wanna be late to our flight,” Ford uttered as he checked the time on his wrist watch. “Hold on,” Charlotte uttered when we were about to go inside the car. My brows crossed when I saw her looking somewhere else with her brows met as well. “I kn
Chapter 516 years later…“He really loves beef broccoli, huh?” Charlotte uttered while watching my son eat in the dining room. “Reminds me of someone,” Ford commented as they both chuckled. “Who?” My naive son asked. “Don't listen to them. Go and finish your food,” I quickly said and flashed a soft smile at him. “Stop playing with me,” I glared at the two of them. “Why are you even here? Aren't you busy?” Because I am damn busy. I couldn't even stay in one place in our house. I have to prepare everything before we all leave the house. Emmanuel will go to school, Knox is going to the hospital, while me, I'm going to my coffee shops and check everything. “We’re going to invite you to the opening of our restaurant,” Ford uttered. My attention was captured when Knox’ phone suddenly rang. I quickly grabbed it and took the call. “Hello?” “Ms. Dahlia? This is Nurse Amanda, where's Dr. Knox? He has a patient scheduled at 9 am,” I quickly search for the wall clock in the house and it
