Somebody That You Loved 76. Shared Breaths
"Stop it!" Bonita admonished sharply.Benjamin’s laughter echoed against the stone walls. He found most of Bonita’s written points reasonable, though a few struck him as utterly amusing. "Are you sure you want to know about that? You might get jealous.""I won’t get jealous as long as you’re honest with me. I’m not jealous of things that belong to the past.""Alright." Benjamin replied, taking Bonita's hand and guiding her to the sofa. His gaze softened as it settled on the woman who, to him, shone brighter than anything else in his world. "Just to clarify, does this mean I’m officially your boyfriend again?""As long as you fulfill all the points written on that paper ..., then yes."The kiss Benjamin placed on Bonita’s lips caught her completely off guard. Before she could think better of it, Benjamin cupped her face, pulling her closer as the kiss deepened into a gentle embrace.Having grown unused to such intimacy after so many years, Bonita tried to match his rhythm. Her arms fou

A deep, passionate embrace unfolded between the newlyweds as they shared a kiss under an altar set near a mist-covered waterfall. Friends and family cheered joyfully, celebrating the union of two hearts that had journeyed for years across the world to finally find their way back to one another in love.Only a handful of guests were present amidst the cold mountain air, including the bride and groom. It was an unconventional choice of venue, but nothing could deter Bonita and Benjamin from tying the knot after a long relationship filled with uncertainties.The bride's gown and the groom's suit were outfits they had owned for years. The altar was decorated simply with flowers and local foliage, arranged lovingly by Velica and Melissa over several days. Meanwhile, the warm dishes on the table, still steaming, were prepared by David and Zayna.Benjamin broke the kiss and gazed lovingly at his wife, a satisfied smile lighting up his face. “Thank you for letting me spend the rest of my life

Drenched in sweat and immersed in inescapable pleasure, Bonita and Benjamin lost track of everything happening outside the campervan. It was impossible to count how many times Jeremy had tried calling the newlyweds who had vanished from their own wedding reception. He had traveled halfway across the world to attend his sister's big day, only to find her once again behaving as she pleased."Let it go; leave them be. Nothing bad will happen," Melissa said in a calming tone, patting the back of their son, Julian, who was snuggled in her arms. "Even if something does, they’ll figure it out on their own."Jeremy glanced toward Edith, who was smiling quietly in a corner of the resort they had rented as accommodations while preparing for the wedding. After years of estrangement, the resentment he once harbored toward his mother was gradually fading."Edith doesn’t seem worried. Boo has proven herself capable of traveling the world without causing trouble.""That’s only because Benjamin is wi

Bonita watched Kenzo and Helga as they measured a sample of a salmon-colored wedding dress adorned with flower and butterfly accents scattered around the shoulders. The dress was placed on a mannequin in the middle of the room, right next to Maria, who was sipping a sweet pink drink topped with glittering, multicolored star-shaped candies. Bonita resisted the urge to snatch the drink and throw it in the trash to maintain her reputation, which was on the line.Since Maria set foot in the bridal shop, the atmosphere had changed. The woman exuded an arrogance that her body couldn't contain. More than that, her dominating aura, as if she was superior to everyone in the room, made Kenzo and Helga feel disgusted."You have to diet if you insist on using that size, Princess," Kenzo reprimanded as he measured Maria's waist. His eyes glanced at the pink drink now lying on the table. His tone was polite and sweet, though the meaning behind it was sharp. How could it not be? He was holding back

Over three hours had passed since Velica informed Bonita about the hotel opening location. She had tried calling her friend multiple times, but there was no answer. Now, she was standing by the roadside, squinting to spot Bonita’s car, which might appear at any moment. But as night deepened, the headlights of passing cars made it easy to misjudge.“Come on, Boo. It’s pointless for you to come here,” Velica muttered as she walked towards the hotel building. She leaned her back against the wall, glancing at her makeup kit lying next to her.Countless people had passed by, staring at her oddly. She even had to glare at a few lecherous men who seemed intent on bothering her until they left on their own.Velica sighed heavily, regretting that she didn’t wait until the next day to tell Bonita about Benjamin’s affair. She was too shocked when she saw Benjamin being embraced by Zayna to think clearly.Minutes ticked by as Velica leaned against the hotel wall. The crowd began to thin. Just as

Various thoughts that approached Bonita could not make her fall asleep despite trying to close her eyes. When she finally opened them because they felt very sore, Velica was already asleep.She sighed irritably and took her phone lying nearby, but there was no news from Benjamin, which made the wound in her heart widen and start to feel suffocating. Now, the bad feelings churning inside her heart turned into waves rolling uncontrollably.'He must be busy, right? Busy making love.' She thought despairingly.Her chest throbbed painfully at those words. She could imagine what Benjamin and the model named Zayna were doing as if she was actually seeing it in front of her eyes. Something she had never done with Benjamin in their four years of relationship. However, she was an adult woman. She knew exactly what happens when a couple makes love.'Get a grip, Boo! You should let him go if he really is cheating on you! Be strong like your father!' Her weak heart scolded.The burden that approac

The long journey from the hotel was filled with the relentless pounding that flowed from Bonita's heart throughout her body, causing her to shiver with rage. When arriving home, she haphazardly placed her bag and set of keys by the poolside, then plunged her body into the dazzling water.The image of Benjamin being embraced lovingly by Zayna in the elevator hours ago was still vivid in her mind. The cold water of the pool failed to clear her thoughts. The shivering in her body intensified. Her anger was mixed with jealousy. She couldn’t articulate the emotions filling her soul.However it seemed to Bonita, amidst her tumultuous feelings where everything appeared in shades of grey, Benjamin and Zayna indeed looked very compatible. Bonita was convinced that they had been in a relationship for a long time. It seemed Benjamin’s words about Zayna being an old friend—though he never mentioned Zayna’s name—were indeed true.The idea of drowning herself in the pool and dying crossed her mind.

"Are you okay?" Helga asked for the umpteenth time.Bonita shrugged. She was too tired to respond after getting a thorough lecture from her father.That morning, Nolan had come to the bridal shop. He claimed he had just bailed Benjamin out from the temporary holding cell at the police station. Bonita had explained what had happened, but Nolan insisted she should have talked things through instead of calling the police to kick Benjamin out. Nolan argued that, after all, Benjamin wasn’t a criminal; he came to the house with the intention of clearing up the issue.On Bonita’s phone screen, which she was holding at that moment, there were numerous gossip articles about how close Benjamin was with the model Zayna Lott. The two were appearing on various news portals. There were even photos on an online magazine page labeling them as "the hottest new couple."Bonita huffed in frustration, her chest tightening. She tossed her phone onto the table and rubbed her face in exasperation."Just go

"That’s true," Bonita said, her head bowed. She had thought about it countless times—the decision to call off the wedding wasn’t just about Mea. "I went looking for my mother on the day we were supposed to have our date—the day you met Mea. My mother told me everything about her relationship with my father. I did love you, but ... I thought maybe it would be better to rethink the foundation of my feelings. I wasn’t sure if my love for you was pure or if I was in love with the idea of falling in love, like my mother once was with Frans."Benjamin’s hopeful thoughts came crashing down. Though there was still a glimmer of hope, Bonita’s reason for ending their engagement left him feeling empty."To be honest, I doubted whether you truly loved me. Falling in love at first sight is something I’ve always found hard to believe. When I found out about Mea, I thought maybe you only loved me because I might remind you of her.""You two are completely different," Benjamin clarified, his voice pa
Somebody That You Loved 74. Prisoner
All the windows in Tristan's family stone house were barred, forcing Bonita to give up on escaping. She had searched every corner of the house for an opening, but there was no way out. She even tried calling out for help to passersby through the windows, but they ignored her as if unwilling to risk getting involved in helping a prisoner.The crescent moon appeared quickly. Bonita chose to wait patiently for Tristan to return the next day, planning to confront him for locking her up with Benjamin—even though Tristan's words about food and the guest room were accurate.Benjamin had already showered and changed into clothes he found in the wardrobe. He asked Bonita to freshen up and change while he warmed the food in the fridge, but Bonita, too annoyed, refused when she saw that all the women's clothing in the wardrobe consisted solely of sexy nightgowns.Her diamond earrings and white lace dress still clung to her body as she lay on the bed. However, her leather boots had been removed a

"Are you using the same method as when you chose Mea's favorite flowers for our wedding theme?" Bonita asked, her expression grim.Bonita's question froze Benjamin in place. He hadn’t expected her to remember the flowers or even care about them after all these years."I thought I made it clear that I refuse to be anyone’s replacement.""You were never anyone’s replacement, Boo.""Don’t!" Bonita snapped, her voice sharp as she pointed a trembling finger at Benjamin. "Don’t call me that! I will never allow you to call me that!""Alright," Benjamin replied, his voice steady. "Let me say it again so you understand. You were never anyone’s replacement, Bonita."A jolt coursed through Bonita's fingers as he said her name, and she quickly crossed her arms over her chest, shielding herself from the emotional attack threatening to reach her heart."Listen," Benjamin began. "I chose those flowers because my father once gave them to my mother, not because Mea liked them. How did you even think t
Somebody That You Loved 72. Fortune-telling
"I don’t believe in fortune-telling.""Your life must be boring," Tristan quipped as he walked away. He pulled his phone from his pocket and answered a call, his eyes lighting up. "I'll bring her over. Just wait there and make sure you look your best.""Do you work in theater?" Bonita asked casually, assuming the mention of appearances had something to do with it.Tristan laughed as he put his phone back into his pocket. "No. I own a fruit plantation in the west, near where my mother lives.""Wow, I feel honored to know someone so important," Bonita said with a sly smile."It’s useless since you’ve already turned down my date invitation.""Should I regret it?" Bonita teased."You should, but no. You already have a lover. I’m not the kind of man who steals someone else's woman for personal pleasure."Bonita studied Tristan intently. "I could introduce you to Velica. She’s my best friend. She’s been single for a long time, even before I started traveling. Would you like me to introduce

"Is that your lover?" His gaze fixed on the photo next to Bonita's campervan steering wheel. His expression shifted as he glanced back at her, studying her face more intently.Bonita didn’t respond. She knew exactly which photo he meant—it was a picture of Benjamin. The photo had been there for years."Forget my joke about being your lover. I wasn’t serious.""I wouldn’t accept your date invitation even if you were.""Relax, I won’t count the lunch I offered earlier as a date. The restaurant is two hours from here, but you should wear something a bit more appropriate for an upscale place."Bonita grinned. "I guess this is the perfect occasion to wear my favorite dress again.""You have a dress?" the stranger asked, squinting in mock disbelief."Of course. Actually, I inherited my family’s bridal business. I dress like this," Bonita gestured at her T-shirt and shorts, "because it's more comfortable for driving."He gave her a skeptical look. "Alright. I’ll have to shower at a lodge nea

Weeks, months, and years went by.Benjamin's desire to find Bonita never waned. He had completely forgotten Mea. In his heart, there was only Bonita. Not even the countless women who flirted with him during his journey to find his former fiancée could divert his heart, not even for a fraction of a second.One thing Benjamin learned from his quest to find the love of his life was that he believed they would meet again at a more appropriate time. This belief gave him the patience to endure whatever life threw at him. If it meant circling the globe hundreds of times, he was willing to do so, as long as it would eventually lead him back to Bonita.However, Benjamin didn’t know that Bonita was deliberately avoiding the places they had once dreamed of visiting together. While he searched for her in their planned honeymoon destinations, Bonita chose to explore other locations.Benjamin observed kangaroos from afar in Australia, while Bonita danced with a group of shepherds in New Zealand.
