It's time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break through. No right, no wrong, no rules for me.– Idina Menzel•••The reply never came. There was no more hope for her relationship. The ship had sunk into the deepest ocean. Luckily, she managed to escape so as not to be lost forever in despair.Life must go on. Thankfully, there was still one good thing she could take from the very message that had left her heart scarred. It gave her a reason to not hate love. She might set aside the thought of finding someone to get married to for a long period of time, but she had decided to keep her heart open. Who would she allow to enter into it? No one knew. Not even herself.Her name as a travel vlogger had gotten increasingly known to the world than before. She never expected to gain such an achievement in her life in not more than eight months. Not only had her career as Eudaimonia’s ambassador rocketed, but more and more companies had endorsed her personally.For this reason, her
I hate myself for losing you, and oh, I don't know what to do, not sure that I'll pull through. I wish you knew. – Kelly Clarkson•••Meeting Santiago was a blessing. They didn’t have to wander around, looking for some tourist destinations on their own. He was willing to be their guide and even drive them to great places without being paid over the next two days. Thanks to the power of fanboying. Fortunately, he wasn’t a freak obsessive fan. Thus, they eventually became friends.The team had treated him to every meal for these past couple of days. However, since it was their last day in Bogota before moving on to the next town, they invited him over to dinner at their place as the last token of gratitude. Gerard and Aaron bought the necessary ingredients for Annaliese, Beatrice, and Gloria to cook an Indonesian dish.“What is it called? It’s exceptional! I really enjoyed myself. The food you served was out of this world and I couldn’t help but crave more. I haven’t tasted such delici
Cause you had your chance and you blew it. Yeah, you ripped it up and you chewed it. – Hailee Steinfeld•••“Hey, hey. Annaliese. You’re okay?” A big strong hand gently stroked her cheek."Why am I familiar with this situation?" Annaliese shook her head, trying to regain her senses. As soon as she saw who was supporting her, she jumped away. "William! W-what are you doing here?" Her index finger pointed at him.William looked baffled. The girl who looked helpless in his arms a few minutes ago now turned into a lioness ready to pounce. “I’m protecting you from falling to the ground?” he answered with a hanging tone.“No. I mean, why are you here too?” Annaliese stressed the last word. She hadn’t expected to see him after all this time.William rose from the ground, making Annaliese's eyes adjust to his tall stature. He seemed to be more muscular than the last time they met. “Because I want to meet you,” he replied to the point.Annaliese scoffed, finding his words to be ridiculous. “W
Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith. – Lady Gaga ••• Hey, I need your help. Come to Cartagena. I’ll book a round ticket for you. I’ll explain as soon as you’re here. Annaliese could feel the desperation in William’s voice when he pleaded for a chance to talk in a whisper. Nevertheless, the pain engraved in her heart didn’t allow her to grant his wish just like that. She would not want to make it easy for him. He had to pay for what he had done to her. For this plan, she didn’t want to involve her best friends. Santiago arrived in the evening, right before dinner. Annaliese told the others to go without her. She didn’t give an answer to their questioning why besides meeting a guy—who was definitely not William. In fact, she knew Gerard invited him over to dinner without her permission. He and Beatrice wanted to meddle in this problem. Anticipating William’s following her, Annaliese reserved a private room in a cozy cafe. She needed her plan to wo
Oh, baby, I know sometimes it's gonna rain. But baby, can we make up now? 'Cause I can't sleep through the pain. – Ne-Yo ••• “Annaliese, stop.” Santiago tried to keep up with her anger-driven fast pace. He was hungry and didn’t want to waste his energy any longer. He needed to stop her from running away right at that moment. “Hey, stop right now, would you?” “No, I won’t!” Annaliese refused to even slow down. “You’re going to feed me again with your motivational speech and I don’t want to hear any of it now. I’m so fed up… Okay?” She stopped walking for a second and showed her wet cheeks. Before she could put a wider distance between them, Santiago grabbed her by the hand. “So, don’t run away from your problem!” he exclaimed. Annaliese burst into tears and sobbed loudly; her face was entirely covered with her palms. She didn’t move an inch, making her look like a crying statue. Santiago ran his fingers through his hair. He hadn’t expected to encounter this kind of situation. A c
Doesn't take a Rocket scientist to know what's really going on. – Sam MacPherson ••• [ Last Year | Boston ] William's mind had not been clear since leaving Ireland, even until he arrived in his hometown. He was overcome with guilt. Mainly because his mother was so angry and threw the blame at him. He didn't go to his house first to at least put things away but headed straight to the hospital. From the gap between the door of a VIP room, a young woman was seen lying helpless. Hospital equipment was installed all over the body of Rose, his childhood friend. William couldn’t bring himself to enter the room right away. Instead, he was standing out there for a while before finally getting a hold of himself. As soon as he felt calm enough, he stepped inside. In an instant, a look full of dismay welcomed him in silence. While Rose’s parents looked away, William’s mom approached him and squeezed his hand strongly. Needless to say, they were all disappointed in him. “Apologize right away
So, don't wake me up in the middle of the night 'cause I finally found you. I feel your love every time I close my eyes 'causе I finally found you. – Jonas Blue and Why Don't We ••• [ Present Time | Colombia ] “What happened next? Why aren’t you continuing?” asked Annaliese when William took a too-long pause. The look on his face concerned her. William lowered his head a little before lifting it again. “We, uh… we had a little fight. But fortunately, we could resolve it. We talked it out and she understood that I loved her as a sister only,” he answered. “Little did I know, it affected her deeply. She looked like she accepted the fact about my feelings, but deep down she was disappointed. And it kept on going like that until things got worse and her health was declining each day,” he said, his fist covering his mouth. Annaliese wasn’t ready to hear the rest of the story. She didn’t like a sad-ending movie, even worse if it was a real-life event. Instead, she counteracted her thou
You've been my inspiration. Through the lies you were the truth. My world is a better place because of you. – Celine Dion •• “Is this for real? You get to see this every day?” Annaliese couldn’t stop looking at the beautiful scenery that pampered her eyes from the room balcony, on the seventh floor. With her project finished, she left her team to have an exclusive vacation with William in the US. It was a last-minute decision that was made possible for the sake of their love. Fortunately, there was no problem with entering the country. As a frequent traveler, Annaliese obtained a tourist visa easily. “My followers already recommended some places in the US as my next destination. I didn’t expect to actually visit this country soon. You know, I’ve got quite a lot of different projects from Eudaimonia around Asia and Europe. But this is my dream country. So thank you for taking me here,” she continued. Standing next to her, William replied, “I thank you for coming with me.” Annalie
