CHYNA
“I’ve had enough! Let’s end this right now, Gian!” I tried to restrain my anger as I yelled at Gian, but I couldn’t keep it anymore.
It had only been two days since the last time we'd been together, but I had already missed Gian. I had driven to Costa Galaxia straight from the airport, only to find out from the CCTV that Gian was making out with a Latina guest in a dark corner of Galactic Bar last night. I didn't know what I was thinking, but I still hold my anger and called him. I just arrived. We agreed to meet here at the pool complex, and there’s that new girl.
I have lost it there.
This was not the first time I had heard about him flirting with another girl. Something like this had happened countless times. I knew because I had eyes and ears in Costa Galaxia when I was not around. But to see it with my own eyes?
I tried to keep calm, reminding myself that Gian and I had no real r
(Present time...)CHYNAI SMILED bitterly to myself. Flashes of memories keep coming in. It feels like it just happened yesterday. I could still feel the unfathomable pain Gian gave me that very same day. I thought I was numb. But I was wrong. I could still feel the pain.I am here, in front of Enchanted Mazed Garden. It was one of my most memorable spots here at Costa Galaxia. Gian and I used to be here way back before. Every time I see or even think of this place, I only ended up reminiscing our memories together. Maybe it’s time to replace the memories with new ones.I wanted to try the EMG alone. There’s no available ball car when I arrived at the forest trail. So it must be destiny’s calling to try the EMG alone. I never reached the center of the maze alone. I wanted to challenge myself.After taking some advice from the staff here in EMG, they handed me the map. I studied it for several minu
CHYNA“WHAT the fuck!? Why did you let her come inside without a guide?”The caretakers of the Enchanted Maze Garden gone pale. I know I was acting like an enraged lion who ready to slay someone else. They should pick a proper answer, or else and I'll get them fired.“Sir… it’s Ms. Salvatore insisted on it. She assured us that—”“We’ve been trying the mazed for so many times before, and she never perfected it alone. You all know that, aren’t you?!”I can’t hold my anger. I yelled at them. I was in great worry.I turned to the CCTV monitors around and look for the situation inside. There’s no one inside aside from Chyna and a pair of lovers under a tree canopy, right there at the center of the maze.And hell! Chyna was on the wrong track.“And can’t you see? She's lost!”“Sir, we already tried to talk to
CHYNA“SHE got a mild heatstroke. It was a good thing you saw her right away, Gian.”That was what I heard when I finally got back my consciousness. I looked around and immediately find I am at Dasha's clinic. Not a second, and Gian was just there, beside me.Worry was so evident in his handsome face, my heart almost melted in it. I braced myself real hard not to feel something about him. I must not feel anything.Dasha was talking a lot about something, but I couldn’t understand her anymore. My brain had its tour back to what just happened.I got lost at EMG. The burning sun made me feel dizzy. I almost collapsed, but Gian was like a dream when he came and rescued me.God! This is embarrassing!I didn’t finish the maze!“How are you feeling now? Are you in pain? Or are you thirsty?”Gian's worried face greeted me again.I suddenly hate myself! At that very mome
CHYNAGian brought me up the stairs. I could still hear Dasha was scolding Gian. I could guess what my sister been doing to Gian the moment I left Costa Galaxia is. I also remembered stopping Thorx when he was about to give Gian a lesson for hurting me.I keep telling them it was my fault. It’s embarrassing if they hurt Gian when I was the one who broke our deal.I started to feel awkward when I realized I was pressed in his warm body. I could smell Gian's wonderful scent. It was a mix of masculine scents and a branded male perfume. And I love it. I could smell him forever.I smiled to myself and gave in to my heart's whim. I lay my head on his chest and enjoyed the feeling.Besides, he'll never know.I closed my eyes and pressed my body against him.“I missed your scent, Gian…” I wasn’t myself when I said it.“Sure, just enjoy it while it’s free.”I sank
GIAN “What were you thinking doing that, you brute?”I was at Vincent’s office, facing his wrath over what I did. I am ready to pay a big penalty for not following the rules. His rules, actually. What can I do? I was hell worried. Even if I must go back, I’ll surely do the same thing.“It’s an emergency, Vincent,” I argued.“I was talking about how you acted up. Why are you approaching Chyna? Aren’t you done hurting her? And what about Camille? Don’t you have a heart? Why were you hurting two wonderful girls?”“I’m not hurting any of them. I was just trying to fix things, accordingly.”If I don’t have a heart, then why I was hurting now? Seeing Chyna but not able to be with her was a torture.I don’t want to hurt Camille. I am serious with her. I thought I could replace Chyna with a wonderful woman like Camille. But I was
CHYNAI suddenly straightened myself. I have to keep my sanity, or I might do things I shouldn’t be doing anymore.“Go away, Gian” I drive him away coldly.“Are you still dreaming or something?” Gian widened his eyes while glaring at me. “Why did you suddenly drive me away? We agreed to be friends, remember?” Confused, he asked.I couldn’t find a word to say, and I just hit him on the chest. Gian just looked at me, confused.“You deserve it!” I stubbornly said. “You’ve been making advances on me since yesterday.”Gian suddenly burst into laughter. I raised my eyebrow. What is so funny?“Same old. You were just the same, Chyna. I missed your hitting hobby.I sighed. Things just didn’t go as planned. I just walked away from him before it was too late.I stood up and was ready to leave when he suddenly gr
CHYNAI WAS shouting at the top of my lungs when I felt the spider car went sideward at the steep slope.I was a fool thinking that I might fall from the spider car when there’s a glass enclosure around us. Plus, Gian had fastened my seatbelt to secure me.“Hey! You’re so loud!” Gian laughed at me.We've been together since yesterday. He offered to tour me around. And I was so tired of rejecting his unlimited invitations. I just gave inBesides, he was right. We didn’t do anything wrong.“You should take a driving lesson first. Your driving skills suck.” I yelled at him. “I think I should drive.”I tried to steal the steering wheel from him. But he won’t give it up. “Do you even know how to maneuver this car?”“Of course. I almost flew a plane with the help of Thorx. And this spider car wasn&
CHYNA“Yes, the wooden bridge had changed into a skywalk.” He silently answered. “If only you knew how much I tried to stop Vincent from replacing the wooden bridge. But you know him just like I do. He wants what’s the best for Costa Galaxia.”I am amazed by what I saw. But I was more sorry and regretful when an important thing sinks in: one of the most memorable places for me was gone.“But we can do memories, here again, you know?”Gian pulled me at the skywalk when I remember something.“You tried to stop Vincent?” I am not myself when I asked.Questions were swirling inside my mind. I don’t know what exactly it is.Questions were blurred. And I knew why. I couldn’t figure out the question because I was afraid to see the answer. I was still traumatized in finding answers.“Yes. If only… I’m willing to buy this Cove fro
CHYNAGian went stunned. I let go of him and smiled so lovingly. I reached for his handsome face and gently caressed it.It was such an enchanting moment for us. I didn’t anticipate it will happen to me.“Rizzi, just stitch some lies to drive you away. Luckily, Flynn was willing to play along. He was not a doctor. He is a head nurse in the biggest hospital in the capital.”“But how did you know, Flynn?” Gian seems not convinced yet.“Here in EMG. That very day my nose bleeds non-stop. He was the one to catch me.”Gian winced. I wasn’t sure if he was grateful or dismayed.“That should be me!”He even made a ‘tsk’ sound. I laughed at his reaction.“Well, it was fine that he caught you while I am not present in the scene. But from now on, I promise to be with you forever. I'll be with you and accompany you wherever you wa
CHYNAI tried to pass over him, but he didn’t let me take another step.“Don’t you hear me? I love you, Chyna. And I know you still love me too. Don’t dare deny it because I know it! I can feel it! You won’t let me kiss you if you don’t have any feelings left for me, baby.”I harshly took my arm away from him. But Gian didn’t let go.“What the hell, Gian?! Do you hear yourself? We are both committed. And now, you’re telling me that you love me. You love me, and you love Camille as well. Three in a relationship is too crowded; you only need one, Gian. And one more thing…” I stopped and took a quick breath. My tears started to roll down my face. “Just because I still love you doesn’t mean I would let you play with my feelings. Don’t use it as a license to hurt me over and over again!”Gian let go of my arm, but he suddenly cupped my
CHYNA“You are too stubborn. Why did you keep coming inside without a guide?”I stopped stepping inside the EMG's entrance. I was startled to see Gian when I turned back. He was smiling while looking at me.And once again, my heart flew away from its ribcage to meet him. I wanted to run towards him, throw myself to him and hugged him tightly. But I can’t. I’ll just embarrass myself if I do that.I have enough.Enough to lay down my armour.It’s just what I need. Confirming that I don’t have anything that would make him want me anymore.But though I accepted my fate, my heart won’t stop loving him still.No way it would. Always and secretly, I will still love Gian. Maybe, until forever.“When is your boyfriend coming back? He should not leave you here. Lots of men here would love to be with you.&rdq
CHYNAI stayed inside Dasha's penthouse for almost two days. I still can’t get over what happened.Until Dasha has enough, she harshly opened the door of the room I am using.“Did you really want me to cancel my wedding?”I turned to Dasha, who seems to cry just after sitting on the bed.“Nah! What are you talking about?”“You’re caving here again!” She yelled out of desperation.I frowned. “What’s that got to do with your wedding? I mean, I was just a part of the entourage. I'm not the wedding organizer.”“Darn! How am I supposed to get married if one of the reasons why my sister was acting like this is my fiance?”“Huh?” I got confused.When I asked Dasha to report what happened, she did. But never gave me an update. She just said that everything was fine. Besides, I didn’t get hurt.It was tru
CHYNAGian walked me through the door, but he was suddenly stunned. The door wouldn’t open.“Are we locked?” I nervously asked.“I think so.”Gian tried hard to open the door, but it just wouldn’t open.“There’s another door here.”Gian pulled me in the other direction.“Huh? How did you know? Where are we?”“At the ground floor of the lighthouse. They purposely turned the lights off.”I just can’t tell what is going on. Who would dare do this to us?“Fuck! It’s locked too! I'll call Josh.”He tried to dial Josh, but his battery died.Fuck!“They planned this!”“Huh?”I just can’t see him. It’s dark, and his phone was drained. That’s the only light we have.“They were playing with us.”&ldq
GIANI AM on my way back to the cluster building when I noticed something. No, it’s someone.A fully clothed guy in black, wearing a mask and cap, was putting something into the ball car.Mask and cap? At night?It confused me. But my confusion turns into anger when I notice it’s an unconscious woman he puts inside the ball car.It’s Chyna!Even her mouth was sealed with packaging tape; I know it was her!Fuck!“Hey!”I hurriedly ran towards the ball car. But the man drives at full speed.I went out of my mind and couldn’t think of a way on how to save Chyna. I run fast as I could. The ball car was running toward Neptune Cove. I remembered that the campers were rescheduled for tomorrow. Today was the cleaning schedule.Is that why that man chooses to take Chyna? And who was that fucking asshole!?I swear I am going to kill that guy!&l
JOSHThe plan was laid just right after summoning other CG men.Only Dominic, Jules, Thug, Lenox and Aelax came. The rest were busy.“No way!” Dominic screamed.“I can’t do it!” Jules announced.The two were the unlucky dude who picked the Yes card. That means they’re supposed to do the task.“Come on! You have done it before. You are pro with this!” I grinned at their reactions.“What are you talking about, Josh?” Jules turned to me.“I know what you did three years ago. Remember Chyna’s request?”Jules and Dominic went silent. Maybe these brutes had forgotten that I am the security head. I know everything.“But it’s different when it’s Chyna whom we—”“Just do it. We agreed with this, right?” Vincent coldly said.The two pulled a long face.&l
GIAN “SO, you’re here again, Gian.” Josh sighed as he saw me entering the command department. It’s been two weeks, and I was always there. I tour Camille around for the last time. We've been hanging out for two days, and I think I made her happy at least. After that, I decided to stay in the command department so I can monitor Chyna. She seems happy with her boyfriend. And all I can do is to watch her from afar, even if it hurts. I should be that guy. I should be the one who makes her laugh. I should be the one to stay with her. I should be him. I know Josh was getting tired of dealing with me, but he just tolerated me. He has no choice. At least he understands how it feels loving from a distance. I was thinking why Vincent wasn’t kicking me out of Costa Galaxia. I messed again, and that’s his condition. I should be thankful, though. “Where am I supposed to go?” I smirked at Josh. “You sh
CHYNA“SO, what are your plans for this day?”I turned to Dasha. Aelax and Dasha were back at Costa Galaxia. While me, I just finished packing my things from my unit. Those were ready to be sent to our villa in the city. I still don’t know what to do with my things.“I was thinking of selling my furniture. Flynn offered a hand.” I answered.Flynn was on his month-long vacation. His cousin, a member of Costa Galaxia, lent him the unit where he stayed for a while.Dasha knew that I already withdrew my membership here. There’s no reason for me to stay anyway. I was just here until her wedding day.“Good to know that you were making yourself busy.” Dasha smiled at me.There’s no need for words. I know she felt pity for me. And I wouldn't say I like it. I don’t want to get that kind of look. I'll still live. I just broke my heart many times, but I wi
