[Hello reader! After a long hiatus, I am back and continuing this story for good! Do read and enjoy! Also, I did read my previous chapters and realised I switched tenses a lot, for this reason, I will be sticking with present tense. Enjoy the chapter!]

- ACE -

Lorelei is not home. I can’t help but worry. I sent Isabel to pick her up but I arrived here before her and it leaves me feeling incredibly unsettled. Not because Lorelei is a pain in the ass to Isabel but because of this accident.

And also because of the fact that Catherine mentioned her, my mind reminds. I let out a sigh, raising my hand up to peak at the time on my wrist watch.

I’ve been here for hours yet there has been no sign of her. After a very stressful day today with the annual, company meeting, this is not something I thought would be a bother to me.

I’ll call Isabel. I dip my hand in my pocket to pick my phone when the door comes open. I’m standing not too far from it so it wasn’t hard to miss.

    - ACE - I look at my phone for the fifth time this minute. The night is dreadfully long. I try to rest but I can’t. I try to sleep but I also cannot. I try to let my mind focus on anything else but it seems highly impossible. Even when she’s away from me, my mind is a complete mess because of her. When she’s near, I go crazy, when she’s afar, I am driving to madness, and when she’s unconscious, I seem to be insane. I just can’t with that woman. She drives me nuts in every possible way yet I cannot stop thinking about her. I cannot stop worrying about her. Caring about her safety because she surely doesn’t give two fucks about that. With the way she wanders off without informing anyone about anything in the middle of the night, you’d think she’s purposely trying to get herself killed. I let out a sigh, letting go of my phone and running my hands down my face in distress. I am up this late at night because of her. Damn her! Damn the moment I met her and the moment she insul

    - LORELEI - This is it, I think to myself as the car pulls out front the building I am supposed to be at. It looks fancy yet not as fancy as the last one we went to. Good thing I am putting on a simple dress and jewelry. I look down at my feet. The heels are a little too extra but there is nothing I can do about that right now. I sight Leonardo at the entrance. A smile immediately force its way to my lips and I try so hard to quench it. Not yet. I cannot be found smiling because of the present of a man. Now when the male species have shown me the worst days and weeks and months and years of my entire life. If anything, I should frown all night and make it hard for him to think he’s got a chance. But something tells me I won’t be able to keep up with that. While men have been a major disappointment to me my entire life, this one hasn’t. He shows up when he says he will and is nice to me even when he doesn’t have to. We just met yet I don’t feel that first meet awkwardness with h

    - ACE - I see her walk down the stairs. She’s pretty. So painfully and infuriatingly beautiful. I swallow, keeping my hands dug in my pockets while letting my eyes soak in her presence. When Marco informed me that she was ready to leave, my guess was that she was already outside and about to enter the car and go but boy was I wrong. Women, I think to myself in the most respectful way ever, they always know how to keep a man worried and waiting, I continue my thoughts. And for some weird reason, something about the way our bodies feel when we’re bound to wait for God knows how long is alluring. Sometimes, we could be plagued with anxiety and contemplating thoughts, wondering if we were stood up or if something happened to the lady in question. Other times, we could be studying our form over and over again wondering if we even dressed right for the event we’d be headed. And other times, we just want to be with her or get the fuck out of the waiting situation and actually be at the

    - LORELEI - It’s funny how fast the day goes when you’re anticipating something. When you’ve got no hope for the day, it becomes painfully slow and it gets you thinking so hard about how hard life has hit you, but when you least expect it, the day just swoops away and in one blink, it’s night. I let out a sigh, doing my jewelry. My hand reaches for the back of my neck, trying to get it buckled. I am putting on the same one I wore the last time I saw him. Surely, a man would never remember a woman’s jewelry, unless he’s gay and Leonardo is not gay. I let out a sigh as my eyes line my figure reflection in the mirror. I look nice, clothed in a plain red dinner dress. I do not feel like putting on anything too extra. While my objective is to have a nice time to forget my life and escape from my head temporarily, I am not trying to appeal the male gaze. Anything looks good on me anyway. A body hug dress is all I need to look decent. Decently nice. I let out a sigh and walk to my be

    - ACE - I haven’t been able to do anything all day. Eat. Work. Get out of my room. My mind has been a constant haywire reminder of my encounter with Lorelei in the garden and what transpired between us. Although it was nothing much of significance, I couldn’t help but think about it. Constantly. It was etched in my brain. The one sided conversation I heard that I do not wish to remember and the cheer in her voice which buzzed with anticipation. I let out a sigh, recalling the morning again. For what seems like the umpteenth time. ‘Leonardo’, I say in my mind. Reminds me of the same name on her phone that called her the night of our wedding. The same night she ran away. The same one who texted her. I do not think she wants to meet with the same man. I feel my nose flare up. She’s not that stupid, is she? . . . My fist clench and I let out an exhale. Anyway, she’s going out tonight, alone, again. And it seems to be that it is a date. Again. And right now, right here in this

    - LORELEI - That was strange. Meeting him out there out of the blue. I’ve never been outside the confinement of my room walls much to know that he sky gazes and at this time of the morning. I would normally expect him to be at his home gym or doing some work but far away from me. I look back to get a view of the garden. Ace is still there. His head is tilted up to face the sky as the wind aids his aesthetic posture. What a weirdo. I shrug, turning my head back to continue my journey. While I came outside for some fresh air, desperation to communicate with someone hit me and I contacted the one person I didn’t think I would be reaching out to any time soon. Well, I would’ve reached out sooner if not for my ‘husband’ but that’s outside the point. In a moment where I could call my best friends to be my safe space, I chose to reach out to a stranger. I let out a sigh, wrapping my arms with my hands, each hand reaching for the opposite arm. The cold air is prickly on my skin. Mayb
