The staff went on panic after they got the report that one of the playing ghosts has lost his consciousness after getting punched by Adira. This is the first time something like that has happened. The unconscious ghost was brought in the amusement park clinic. Jaymee apologized to the staff which were disturbed. Chadwick and Adira promised that they will pay for the damage and give reimbursement. Fortunately, the ghost wasn’t heavily injured. In the clinic lobby, Chadwick and Adira are sitting side by side while waiting. Adira’s lawyer came rushing into the scene and is now making a deal with the staff. Of course, Adira did not forget to apologize to everyone, as well as the unconscious staff she punched. “The journalist said that she won’t put this incident into the article,” Chadwick said. “I hope so. It will be troublesome to go to work if the news spread; that I, the CEO of Crimson Meadow, punched a ghost inside the horror house,” Adira replied. “Seriously, why did you do th
Geoffrey came to the amusement park, not to play but to work. A friend of his asked him a favor to fill his absence in his part-time job. And the work is being a mascot. “So, you can choose which character do you like?” the manager told Geoffrey while pointing to the different mascot costume on the table. He stared each of them, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Super Mario. There was a glisten in his eyes as he saw the costume with blue jumper, red inner long sleeves shirt, white gloves, red Beret hat with letter ‘M’ in the center and a mustache. Geoffrey did not need to hesitate which he would choose and quickly grabbed the Super Mario head. “This is the character that you love before, right?” Geoffrey murmured while thinking about Adira. When they were in college, he once saw Adira wearing a blue jumper and red long sleeves shirt underneath. He heard her friends call her Super Mario and Adira replied that she dressed like that because she loves Mario. She also has Super Mario keych
Geoffrey and Chadwick were in 4th year high school when they first met each other.Geoffrey is older than Chadwick. However, he dropped out from school and repeated a year. When Geoffrey’s father died, he was forced to work and support his widower mom. But after his mom re-married a rich man, Geoffrey did not have to work anymore and that’s why he was able to study in a prestigious school with his step-sister, Isa.“This is my stepbrother, Geoffrey,” Isa introduced Geoffrey to Chadwick.Chadwick looked at the stepbrother that Isa had been talking about non-stop. Geoffrey has tall legs and round glasses in his eyes. But the glasses did not hide his handsomeness. Chadwick heard that Geoffrey was a top 1 in his class before, and maybe, the glasses justified his smart aura.“And this is my friend, Chadwick,” Isa introduced Chadwick to her brother.Geoffrey observed the frail pretty boy beside his stepsister. He already heard that his sister has a friend named Chadwick, and he felt happy fo
Everyone in the company knows that Chadwick is a charismatic and cool CEO. He talks and moves elegantly wherever he goes. Thus, to match the attractive boss, Neil tried his hardest to appear as cool as Chadwick.“Good morning, secretary Neil,” an employee greeted him while he was inside the elevator.He’s on his way to Chadwick office.Neil looked back at the employees standing behind him. He smiled elegantly, gently bowed his head, and greeted, “Good morning.”He pinned the magazine he was holding between his arm and waist. When the employees saw the magazine’s cover, one of them pointed at the magazine and exclaimed.“Oh! There’s an article about the CEO and his wife! I also read that before!”All the passengers inside the elevator, including Neil, stared at the excited female employee who failed to contain her emotion.“Our president is so sweet! He’s really in love with his wife and…”The female employee did not continue when she noticed the gaze from around. It took her seconds to
Adira’s POV I live in a world which is bounded by many customs, traditions, and diversities. Those who believe in superstitions and strongly follow these can be found almost anywhere. In fact, I met one this morning.[“A sleepwear that can make your husband turn wild every night.”] Ash’s words did not leave my mind.A sleepwear that can make my husband, who is like a rock, turn wild?Well, when I pulled him before for a kiss, he was a bit wild. But after that, I could see the disgust in his face. Just imagining it again made me feel so damn annoyed.Anyway, things like this, superstitions I mean, are man-made and lacked science explanation behind it, even though there are things said by many which has history evidence to it. Just like what happened to Ash. She said she couldn’t get pregnant after marrying her husband, but after she wore that special sleepwear, she was blessed with two kids.That is so unrealistic. It was as if a cat crosses the road in front of the car, it is just p
Third Person’s POV “Boss, are you going to work all night?” Neil asked Chadwick, who was stuck near to his desk all day. Ever since Adira stayed out of the house for work, Chadwick thought there’s no reason for him to go home. So, he wanted to stay in his office and do hellish work, just like Adira. Because if he stays in the empty house and lays down on his bed, all he would think is her. ‘I rather divert myself in work than having those impure thoughts.’ This is the first time Chadwick felt such intense lust over a woman. When he liked Isa, he imagined kissing her and hugging her. While he did, he felt butterflies in his stomach. But that’s all. He did not have lewd thoughts for her. But like 360, his mind and body suddenly changed after meeting his wife. He did not feel anything when Adira was seducing him during the six months they had been together in the same room. It was because he still hadn’t feelings for her during that time. However, after he realized his feelings,
Men’s primal instincts attract them to the woman is no real mystery. That is why, seeing a woman in lingerie will psychologically entice a man.When Chadwick saw Adira wearing a white linger with touch of lace showing at the breast area and a clasp showing below the skirt at the top of her stockings, it is as if he saw a hidden treasure that he must seek out. She became a mystery which he must reveal.Seeing the soft and silky white dress that most things men cannot wear, Chadwick imagined how it feels to rub it against his skin. That might feel pleasing and erotic, giving tingling sensations to all of his senses.His mind overloaded in state of bliss that he can neither control or prevent; he won’t want to either.Those lines and straps, Chadwick imagined setting it free. He will look every inch of it closely and rub as much as his own body against Adira and her lingerie. In a different scenario, if Adira strips in front of him, slowly remove an item of lingerie, he will not complai
Ding dong~ Chadwick on the floor and Adira on his top, both tended their eyes at the direction of the door. The only on who might visit them during this house, one person came into their mind. Adira stood up while holding his husband’s cellphone. “Looks like you have a visitor,” Adira said as she offered the phone back to him. He looked alternately at the phone and at Adira’s spiritless gaze. Biting his lips with a frown on his forehead, Chadwick stood up and grabbed his phone back. He felt so embarrassed, not only because of the picture Jaymee had sent to him, but also the fact that Isa might be the person outside the door. Unable to say anything, he walked towards the entrance. Adira watched his back, and the way he dragged his feet onto the ground. She thinks he’s being weird. Long time ago, she remembered how fast Chadwick every time was he hears that Isa came to visit. He was as blistering as a cheetah. Yet now, he walked like a snail; as if leaving a mark on the floor. Soo
5 months passed. The joined project of Crimson Meadow and Wine&Vibe is a great success. Many congratulated the two CEOs who worked so hard for this project and for helping a lot of charities as one of their goals. At the end of the month, the two held a press conference. Reporters came to witness the successful joined of the famous married couple. They thought that they will only hear news about the business and how they’ll end the union. However, Chadwick and Adira came out with a big surprise for everyone. “Before we end the conference, Adira and I would like to announce something very important.” Gradually, the two looked at each other and smiled. Their deal is clear. After the five months when the project is over, they will reveal the truth about their divorce. And the time has come. However… “Adira and I decided to marry again.” At Chadwick's words, gasp filled the hall. Tons of lights flashed, capturing each second. What does he mean by marrying Adira again? Everyone as

Other than living with Adira in the same place, Chadwick thinks that his other advantage against Geoffret is that he has the support of their secretaries.‘The only hurdle is winning over my ex-wife’s heart.’He realized how hard it is to win a favor from someone. Even if Adira doesn’t have feelings for him when she’s seducing him long time ago, Chadwick can tell how difficult the quest is.‘Maybe, she’s trying to get her revenge and..’His thoughts stopped when he saw his wife standing in front of him.She’s really home.“You’re quite late,” she greeted with a smile.Being with her, his heart pounds with each breath, like a hummingbird’s wings.‘Who cares if she’s testing me o
“Dear brother, It’s me, your stubborn sister who keeps on following you. I am writing a letter to you since you are my last family. And I am happy to have at least you by my side. Remember the first day when we saw each other? I was so captivated by your handsomeness. I thought I saw a prince. Your smiles, your shy approach and your kind attitude, they reached my heart. And maybe, that is the first time I fell in love with you. I kept this a secret for a long time, but it overflowed in a way I couldn’t control it anymore. Mistakes after mistakes. I learned that all my life, I dedicated it to you. I regretted my actions, even the words that I didn’t mean. I am sorry for wishing that. Believe me, I didn’t want our parents to die. Just like you, I was in deep pain too. But in the end, I haven’t learned. I keep on reaching for the affection that you couldn’t give. I was selfish and I hurt many people around me. I am sorry. I should have listened to you. But, it’s too late. I lost my
Third Person’s POVTwo weeks have passed.The accident that happened in the CUR8 mall has never leaked through the media. But Nocturne, who was keeping a close eye on the Crimson Meadow’s CEO has heard the accident. He planned to take his revenge, but he thinks it won’t be good to fight against Adira anymore since she has more card to use. And so, he stopped pursuing the unbeatable leader.Many days passed by and finally, it was time for Adira to go out of the hospital. Oddly, she recovered so fast unlike other patients who underwent the same head injury. Her doctor even joked that she might be from a tiger clan since she healed so quickly.As this will be the day of her discharge, two men waited for her outside her room.Who are these two men?Basically, they are the two guys who keep going back and forth in this place for long two weeks. Hansel said that Adira would recover if they were here, since all they do is fight in front of Adira. To solve that, the guys decided to come on sep
Adira’s POV Often, when someone has a head injury, she won’t remember the details of the accident. What happened, how she got hurt and who’s with her during the incident. But as soon as opened my eyes, everything came to me so vividly. I recalled how I saw the sign board above that was swaying down, when I looked at Chadwick who was standing beneath, when I ran towards his side and when I pushed him away and got hurt instead. Above all, the realization I had while running towards him came to me like a wave. It wasn’t calm, gentle, or destructive. Just… something I expected ever since I admitted that it might be possible to fall in love. I blinked my eyes slowly while looking at the white ceiling above the hospital room. Back then, I really thought I saw the underworld. But it really seems that someone like me was blessed with long life. As I was inwardly about to laugh, a voice called me. “A-Adira?” My numb body, which did not move for long hours, tingled as I turned my head t
Since it hasn’t been announced yet that Chadwick and Adira aren’t a married couple anymore, Chadwick still has the right to play as her husband. And so, he and Falcon took turns watching Adira and waiting for her to wake up. It’s almost been two days already, yet Adira hasn’t woken up. As Chadwick watched her sleep, a faint sad smile drew on his lips. “You are sleeping for too long,” he whispered. “I wanted to tell you a lot about your father.” How Falcon almost collapsed, when he watched over her daughter without sleeping and when he was caught crying while praying for her fast recovery, Chadwick wanted to tell all of this to Adira once she woke up. All past years, Adira believed that her father did not have any affection for her. On which, Chadwick will testify as lies. Falcon loves her daughter, more than anyone in the world. Staring at Adira, Chadwick remembered last night when he and Falcon had a conversation while looking over Adira. “My world collapsed,” Falcon said while
The adrenaline that Geoffrey and Chadwick had as they bring Adira to the hospital haven’t died down yet.When they saw Adira laying down on the ground, unconscious and with blood on her head, they felt an unfamiliar sensation, a combination of adrenaline that made their body cold and electricity tingled their skin.As adrenaline hit them, they realized the situation. Adira is in danger.Chadwick looked at his tainted hands and trembled.He and Geoffrey are currently waiting outside the operating room where Adira was brought in. It’s been an hour, and yet, they haven’t heard anything about her condition.Will she live?Will everything be okay?They wanted to be positive as much as possible. Yet the terrible shock made them anxious.Thinking if something would happen to her is not just painful for Chadwick. It takes everything out of him. He was so distraught over her suffering that it made him feel nauseous and lightheaded.Then guilt came to knock him over.‘This is because of me. I am
Third Person's POVGeoffrey followed where Adira’s gaze peered into. What he saw standing from afar was his old pal, his former buddy and now, his competitor.Years ago, when Isa confessed her feelings to Geoffrey for the first time, Geoffrey saw Chadwick hiding in secret. That day, he only wished for Chadwick to come out and to be brave. If only Chadwick was courageous to get Isa’s love, then it wouldn’t be necessary for Geoffrey to avoid them and lose their friendship.But now, Geoffrey felt the opposite.When Chadwick saw them together, he wished he could just turn around and leave them.'You used all your time and opportunity to be with Adira. Why are you still trying when it is too late?' He asked this in his mind as he stared at him.At last.Something snapped in his brain as he remembered how Adira answered his question before.Adira said that she could fall in love with one of them. As of now, Adira thinks the two of them can make her heart move.'So, being with her for a long

A black film.Even though I was discovered in an accident and was rejected, I only felt an anticipated fate. Because from the very start, I knew that my place to Isa’s life is a friend. A friend whom she can use when she's having a hard time over her own one-sided love.Isa used me to make Geoffrey jealous. Withal, I did not care.
