After 4 years, Serin comes back to Marionne City for the grand opening of her first art gallery and studio that is held in Crimson - The Skye Mall & Hotel owned by Jeremy, her former boss. She used to work for him, but she was forced to quit her job when Jeremy began to fall for her. He had no courage to snatch his older brother's happiness after knowing that he also had feelings for Serin. Because of the promise their mom had left Jeremy to keep which was to protect his older brother at all costs, Jeremy chose to walk away from Serin with his unconfessed love for her. Letting her go has brought him empty days and nights of painful regrets. But now that they crossed paths again, Jeremy will take this second chance to turn his unspoken feelings to a fearless confession, "I'm your ex-boss but I'm still your desperate lover."

Chapter 1

“Happy 18th birthday!” Gail, excited and beaming, stands next to the birthday celebrant. 

It is Jeremy, the youngest son of the famous and influential Tony and Leona Sean. “Thanks,” he replies, dry and soulless. 

“Hey! Have fun!” She hands him a wine glass and raises hers in the air. 

But Jeremy refuses to clink their glasses. “I should not drink. Will test drive later.”

No hurt feelings though, Gail still dazzles with a smile, drinking her wine in silence. She already expected that her childhood friend wouldn’t join the guests in the garden no matter what and wouldn't be drinking even though he didn't receive a new car from his dad, for he had no plans to celebrate his 18th birthday. It’s her stubborn desire to throw him a party, and because he is Jeremy Sean after all, he did show up out of courtesy. 

“Isn’t it boring to test drive your new car alone?” Gail drops the magic words, hoping for the guy to ask her to join him on the road.

Jeremy faces her, no interest flickering in his expression. “What are you doing here anyway? You’re the host. Go back there and entertain your guests.”

“Come on, Jeremy..” Gail smiles so sweetly. “They are your guests. You’re the birthday celebrant, you should be the one--”

“Who insisted on having this useless party?”

“Useless??” Her honey-dripping smile fades. 

He stares at her, but before he could hush her with another harsh truth, Gail links arms with him so suddenly and tightly he is caught off guard, making it easy for her to take him to the garden.

“I prepared something for you, I’m sure you will love it,” she whispers. 

No more chance to escape from her, Jeremy just sighs in annoyance while making their way through the maze of the guests partying like crazy. As they stand in the center, Gail signals the DJ to stop the music.

Abrupt silence fills the night air. Everyone gathers around them, all eyes on Jeremy. 

“Man, I smell trouble. Let’s go get Jeremy.” Ken leaves the poolside first, then Chris follows behind him. They are Jeremy's best friends. 

To the garden, they hurry to rescue their best friend from Gail’s foolishness only to pause when the huge screen behind the DJ booth suddenly flashes blinding lights and plays a video message. 

A very familiar video message. 

“Happy birthday, my dearest son! I am recording this right now while taking some rest. Your dad, brother and I have been preparing for a surprise party for you. We looked forward to this day, and finally it has come. Happy birthday, my son! Though I always tell you how much I love you, I’m still gonna say it. I love you, Jeremy, and your mom will always do.”

Jeremy freezes in torment, heart shattering to pieces. 

The screen goes blank again. Dead silence scatters through the air. The guests are deeply moved, but not Jeremy, even his two best friends, because the video is only a clear recall of his devastating 14th birthday.

“How is it?? Have I touched your heart?” 

That is such a stupid question, Jeremy stares at Gail with his eyes dimming in sorrows. 

“I’m asking you. How is-- Oh gosh!” Gail shakes him in delight, ignorant of Jeremy’s growing pain. “You’re teary-eyed! You love my surprise, don't you?”

Jeremy keeps his silence, suppressing the torment by clenching his fists inside his side pockets. Suddenly, the music blasts again. It’s Chris and Ken’s doing. They have just signaled the DJ to do it to rescue their best friend from Gail’s stupid and heartless surprise. When the guests go back to partying, Jeremy hurries out of the garden. 

But Gail races behind him. “Jeremy! Shouldn’t you be thanking me??”

He plays deaf and walks even faster. 

“What the hell is wrong with you??” Gail won’t leave him alone. 

Already losing it, Jeremy halts his speedy steps and turns to her, eyes tearing up in terrible pain. “What’s wrong with me?? Can’t you tell?? Did we just become friends yesterday??” 

“I.. I thought you would like my present.. Don’t you miss your mom??”

Mom. Such a word feels like the sharpest dagger piercing him mercilessly. Jeremy turns around and rushes to his car.

But Gail won’t really let him leave. She stands by the car door to block him from getting inside. “Please, don’t be like this..”

Jeremy stares at her with resentment. “You know what happened four years ago, and you completely know the torment it will cause me if I see that video again.” 

Gail pauses, realizing she has just made a big mistake. But she won’t apologize for causing him pain, for she can’t dare crush her ego. She is Gail Andrews, and it will kill her to say sorry. 

“Move.” His firm voice, filled with grave and pain, has Gail stepping to the side. As he hurries inside his car, he slams the door shut and drives away in fury. 

Chris and Ken never follow him, for they completely know that they need to let him cool off in situations like this. Jeremy has his own way of dealing witth heavy and unsettling emotions, and it's always the same. Driving to nowhere until he feels better. 

In so much pain, he hits the late night roads aimlessly. Thanks to Gail, he has just experienced a terrible birthday again, like his devastating birthday four years ago. He tightens his grip on the steering wheel and speeds up when the night sky suddenly grieves with him, pouring heavy rain. But the downpour won’t stop him from driving with fury until he reaches an uphill road that overlooks beautiful and tranquil scenery. 

He pulls over. The rain stops as well. He opens the window to gaze at the night view before him. Oddly enough, with the cold breeze embracing him with gloom and sadness, he feels a little better, for there’s this inexplicable solace surrounding the place. 

He gets out of the car and stands on the fenced cliff. The majestic view is both tranquil and melancholic. Sleeping cities, faint dazzles, blinking lights. It is like a calming painting with a sorrowful and lonely feeling. 

“H..Heron.. W..Where.. are.. y..you..? H..Heron..?” A shaky voice suddenly cries out, disturbing the deep silence floating in the misty air. 

Jeremy stiffens in shock. He can hear the voice clearly, and it is crying out someone’s name again. He turns around and follows the voice despite the fear covering him. It’s from the front of his car.

Shivers crawl on him the instant he sees someone lying there. A girl drenched not only in the rain but in so much blood. She’s almost lifeless. In a split of a second, his gruesome 14th birthday flashes before him. Such a memory is so horrible and devastating he breaks into pieces. 

The girl wails this time, putting Jeremy back in the moment. He ignores his own trauma and hurries over to her. But as he bends down to carry her, the girl’s cold and trembling hand touches his face with pain and longing. 

“H..Heron..? Y..You.. a..are.. a..alive??” She cries smilingly but sorrowfully. “Y..You are.. a..alive.. I’m.. g..glad.. y..you a..are.. alive..”

That freezes Jeremy on his knee, for he could not understand why the girl’s longing deeply resonates with him. But he refuses to wander in confusion as for now. He has to rescue her while he can. He won’t forgive himself if another person dies in his arms again.

Hastily, he carries the girl in the backseat, then drives away. Like the flashes of lightning in the dark sky, the car hits the road with blazing speed, enabling him to save the stranger from dying.

The morning is about to break when Jeremy leaves the hospital. With the girl’s black dress that was handed to him, he goes straight to the town to have it dry cleaned. Upon getting it back, he rushes to his car and checks if there are pockests on it. There is, on the right waistline. 

Nervously, he puts his hand in the pocket and finds something right away. A piece of paper, ancient-looking as if it has been kept for centuries. He unfolds the paper with haste, and to his big surprise, it has a sketch of him. Every stroke of the black ink can tell it’s really his face, for it’s clear and precise. 

Exactly a month later. 

“What’s your decision now?” Ken asks Jeremy as soon as the doctor leaves them in the hallway. 

Early this morning, Rina, the girl’s nurse, had just finished her daily monitoring when she suddenly remembered the black silk thread bracelet the patient was wearing when she was rushed to the emergency room a month ago. Wanting to put it back on her, Rina hurried to the nurses’ room and took the bracelet from her drawer. As soon as she returned to the VIP Room, she carefully put the bracelet around the girl’s wrist. And at that exact moment, the patient miraculously woke up. 

Upon receiving such good news, Jeremy and his two best friends drove all the way to their hometown only to hear from Dr. David that the patient got diagnosed with amnesia. A total memory loss. 

“First, I need to be home, so please do me a favor,” Jeremy tells the two guys, then he hands them his bank card. “For the hospital bills and everything she will be needing for her everyday use.”

“Get it, bro,” Chris responds. “But where is she staying though?” 

“In our place.”

Chris and Ken glance at each other, surprised by Jeremy’s unexpected decision.

“No problem with us if she stays there. It’s your own place anyway.” It’s Ken. “But are you sure you’re okay with that?” 

“Yes,” Jeremy answers without any hint of hesitation. “I’ll be back to Lewis City tomorrow morning,” he says, then hurries out of the hallway. 

The next day.

Chapter 2
From the elevator, Jeremy steps on the 49th floor, which is solely for him as he's the one occupying the biggest and most expensive unit in Tiffany Blue. It's the most famous students' condominium in the area just across from the prestigious and prominent Fermone National University where he, Chris, Ken and Gail attend. At first, Jeremy used to live alone but because Chris and Ken would always hang out and sleep over in his place, he told them to just move out from their own units and live with him. That was what the two guys had really wanted to happen because ever since Jeremy lost his mom, they couldn’t stop worrying about him.He sighs as he enters the unit. The spacious living room welcomes him with a picturesque overlooking view, but such a majestic and stunning sight fails to calm him. He's been troubled since yesterday.From the hallway, he drags his heavy feet and reaches the guest room. Another sigh from him, deeper this time. He knocks on the door, and it opens right away.

Chapter 3
Though Serin gets so flustered she stiffens like a statue, she is quick enough to hide her shock. Gail does the same and acts like she’s really happy for Jeremy. “Oh my god! Our beloved Jeremy Sean already has a girlfriend? Wow! Congrats to you then!”Jeremy just nods at her. “Oh! I forgot! I have to meet someone in the lobby. Gotta go now.” More lies. Gail throws Serin a bitter smile. “Let’s hang out soon, okay?” Hurting deep inside, she excuses herself and almost flies out of the hallway. At the closing of the elevator door, Jeremy immediately drops Serin’s hand and hurries back to his place, as if nothing happened. Serin can’t believe he leaves just like that without hearing a ‘thank you’ or at least an apology from him for using her as a fake girlfriend to shoo Gail away. Upset, she follows him. “I’m sorry to say this but you have already crossed the line, Sir Jeremy.” But he plays deaf, pushing Serin to block his way. As they face each other, he looks away with obvious haste,

Chapter 4
“We’re sorry, bro.”Jeremy looks at Ken with confusion, still panting and sweating from the night jog. “What are you sorry for?”“We already told Serin the reason you can’t let her go yet,” Ken answers straight to the point. “Because of that, she tried drawing your face to know if the sketch you found in her dress pocket is really hers. And it’s really hers, we just confirmed it.”A terrible feeling rushes in, Jeremy begins to feel nauseous and sweat more coldly. He wants to leave now but he can’t move at all.“Look.” Chris shows him the new sketch. Overly shocked, Jeremy can’t compose himself anymore. It’s freaking insane that the new sketch he is looking at is exactly the same as the one he’s keeping when Serin hasn’t even seen it yet. He falls into deep silence. “But bro, you should stop overthinking now.” Ken pats Jeremy on his arm, smiling at him with relief. “The sketch is not you but Heron.”Jeremy freezes completely, and all the colors on his face quickly fade. He never tells

Chapter 5
Everyone gets speechless because Jeremy is never the type who would cause a commotion or do something to get people’s attention. But he just did. All the guests gather around them, and even the loud music stops blaring. Ken hurriedly gets in between Jeremy and the tipsy guy while Chris gently pulls Serin to his side. She is on the verge of tears. Jeremy holds her hand. “Let’s go.”“She can’t fucking leave!!” Gail comes rushing, flaring eyes on Serin. “How dare you ruin my party??” She lifts her hand but Jeremy is quick enough to block her from attacking Serin, making her yell at him. “Move!”But Jeremy remains still, protecting Serin from her. Gail stares at him so angrily her eyes could blaze. “Can’t you see, Jeremy?? She is ruining my–”“Serin isn’t ruining your party,” Ken cuts her off, no longer keeping his cool, “but your your fuck boy guest.”“Are you kidding me?” The tipsy guy scoffs. “That wench was the one who–”“You must have a death wish.” Ken throws him a warning glare.

Chapter 6
Serin can tell right away that the girl is not okay, for she’s shaking and sobbing fearfully. She tries to calm her the best way she can, holding her cold, trembling hands. “I’m here, miss.. You’re okay now. Don’t be scared anymore. What is it? Please tell me..”Yenny cries silently but more fearfully. “P..Please.. h..help--”“It’s getting colder, let’s get inside now.” A man’s voice interrupts. Serin turns to where the eerie voice comes from and sees a tall man through the gaps of wide fences of the European-styled mansion behind him. He is standing in the front yard that is so dim and gloomy, for the only glow illuminating there is from the golden lights circling the big fountain in the garden. “We’ll catch a cold if we stay here longer,” the creepy man tells Yenny. Serin catches on. The girl before her is definitely in danger. “I will help you,” she tells her, looking deep into her frightened eyes. “First, we have to get out of here. Let’s--”But Yenny suddenly steps back. It ju

Chapter 7
It is really here, Serin can’thelp but feel a lot more nervous the moment she arrives at her destination. The European-styled mansion towering her in broad daylight looks even bigger because the first time she has seen it was already nighttime. She walks to the huge gate nervously and rings someone’s number. Her call is answered immediately, and after a minute, an old lady welcomes her with a smile so warm it somehow melts her worry and uneasiness away. “I’m glad you arrived here safely.” It’s Ms. Fei, the old lady managing the household. “Good morning,” Serin greets her politely. “I’m pleased to finally meet you in person.”“It’s very nice to meet you as well.” Ms. Fei gives her a more welcoming smile and walks her through the luxurious front yard. Everything around looks grand and beautiful. The entire landscape and the mansion itself define wealth and elegance. Serin does feel small and impressed but what consumes her more is the feeling of depressing gloom surrounding the place

Chapter 8
Two months ago. It was the day of Gail’s party.Lunch time, seven hours before that night, Dave finally decided to get rid of something. A medium-sized box on his huge bookshelf. “Go to a very far place where no one can see you, and please burn this.” Dave handed the box to Yenny. “I’ve been keeping that for 3 years now, and I think it’s best to finally get rid of that box through someone I trust the most. And it’s you.”Yenny nodded in response, but with a puzzled expression because she was sure it was Jeremy Dave trusted the most and not her. Also, it was the first time in four years that he had allowed someone to touch his personal things because after his mom passed away, he became extremely agitated about it. “Make sure you won’t tell anyone about it.” Dave gave her an anxious look. She couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Why would he want her to burn the box in a very far place? And why shouldn’t she tell anyone about it? However, she couldn’t ask him these questions. Dave’s condit

Chapter 9
Dave was right, that Jeremy wouldn’t go straight to Gail’s party because no one in their house had answered his calls. He knew him very well, and because of that, he could always deceive him so conveniently. “It’s time to act again.” Dave smirked as he walked to his bed. He would pretend he’s already sleeping.Downstairs, the deafening silence began to haunt Jeremy. It was unusually quiet. He rocketed to the third floor and reached his dad’s room. His dad was already deep in his sleep. Though he wanted to feel good about his dad sleeping soundly, he couldn’t, for it’s very suspicious. Next, he went to Ms. Fei’s room. Like his dad, the old lady was already sleeping. He felt more uneasy because after he moved to another city for college, the old woman wouldn’t go to bed yet unless she would see him park his car outside whenever he would go home. Sighing, he fixed her blanket and left quietly. Outside Yenny’s room, he knocked on the door a few times until decided to open it. As expecte

Chapter 10
Yenny did see hope, running into Serin, but the important evidence to lock Dave in prison was not with her, for she had completely forgotten her bag in the storage room. As she failed to escape, she hurried back to the mansion and left Serin outside. Two hours later. “How are you?” It was Chris asking Serin as soon as he and Ken came inside her room. Serin faked a soft smile. “I’m okay now.” But the two guys could see a troubled expression glimpsing on her face, for she was unable to help the girl in Horizon Town. “You don’t look okay though,” Ken said. That’s when Serin plucked her courage to tell them the truth. Chris hurriedly took out his phone, showed her a group photo on it and pointed at Yenny who was all smiles standing beside Jeremy. “Is this the girl you’re talking about?” Chris asked Serin nervously. A week before Gail’s party, Chris showed Serin the same photo while he was excitedly talking about Yenny. Their close friend Serin was supposed to meet at Gail’s party.
