When Kathryn woke up in the morning, she noticed Zachary wasn't beside her anymore. Rubbing her eyes, she called out for her husband.

"Zack?"

Then a man popped out from the bathroom, all fresh and clean. "Good morning, baby."

The image immediately brought a smile to Kathryn. Who would've thought her husband would wake up early today? It was indeed a miracle.

A few hours before lunch, Zachary and Kathryn went to the beach side and started to play volleyball. Kathryn wasn't an athletic person but she sure did know how to play this game. Every summer when she was a kid, she would play volleyball on the beach with the other kids from the orphanage. 

Soon, a few people started joining them. Zachary, upon seeing how happy Kathryn was playing, set aside his possessiveness.

"Whew, that was a good game," Kathryn said, panting as they took a break and sat under a hut.

Zachary smiled and nodded, "Yeah. You're good at this, Kath."

That there was something going on between them.Disbelief swarmed inside his mind to his soul, asking where he went wrong. Though despite the mixed confused pained emotion, the anger he felt surfaced as it pushed everything else away. He balled his hands into fists, biting his lip until it bled as he stormed his way out of Kathryn's apartment.The sound of the heavy slam of the door should be enough for the two traitors to know he'd seen enough of the truth.

    Zachary gripped hard on his drink, not giving attention to the woman's hand caressing his thigh and her lips licking his neck as his eyes remained on one person alone: Kathryn.Kathryn still wore that small smile on her face as she sat neatly in the far corner of the club, the one their friends decided to use with David's birthday party. Despite the colored smoke, the upbeat wild songs, and people who screamed trouble with the way they dance and make out surrounding them, Kathryn still looked like an innocent sweet being on her seat as she gave out sweet smiles to people she knew who would walk past her table.The table was empty except for a can of Coca-Cola, which Zachary knew was Kathryn's favorite drink. Kathryn never really wanted any type of alcohol as they considered them "unhealthy" like she once had told Zachary. She was the purest, innocent person Zac

    Not another minute later when David noticed Kathryn was starting to have a more worried expression on her face. She looked at David seriously and spoke a few words David wasn't really expecting to hear. Though in the end, David could only sigh and look where Kathryn was secretly glancing at."All right. Just give me a minute," David said, determined and clear.The club started getting wilder than he thought, the people on the dance floor doing more lewd things than an ordinary birthday party should have. Well, fuck it. It was his birthday anyway, David thought to himself as he walked towards Zachary's and Earl's table. Earl had just arrived a few minutes ago actually, and so Zachary was left alone with the others who he considered as friends for the past few hours.Women in short dresses flocked around their t

    "David! Why did you- ah! I can't do this. I can't! David, please," Kathryn said, knees almost bending down as she pleaded with David.Plead not to meet up with Zachary.David's eyes were still on the side, purposely avoiding Kathryn's as he still felt sorry for what he just dealt with Zachary. With a drunk, childish Zachary."David!." Kathryn almost wailed.Ah, that pout again. The powerful pout not anyone, even the baddest human on the planet, could resist.Chad was taking a sip from his coffee, seemingly oblivious to what was happening with the two youngest in their circle a few feet away from him. David gave Chad a silent stink face at that. How could he be so calm? This

    "I don't want to," Zachary spewed, glaring at his father, causing his mother to gasp loudly."Zachary!" Mr. Robertson looked extremely pissed as he slammed a fist on the table. It made Mrs. Robertson jump in surprise again."Honey.." She was trying to calm her husband down but her hand was brushed off by Mr. Robertson."I told you I don't want to. If you like her so much, why don't you marry her instead?" Zachary indifferently said as he placed his fork down the plate. The action and words only made Mr. Robertson more aggravated. His son's rude behavior was something he couldn't control ever since he was a kid."Zachary. Your father only wants what's best for you," his mother tried to join and help his father. Zachary smirked sarcastically at the words she used. When did

    It was already nine in the evening when Earl arrived at Zachary's apartment. The living room was a mess, there were inks on the see-through glass dividers, litters and papers, and cans and bottles of different liquors scattered everywhere.Earl found himself swimming through the ocean of trash before he finally saw Zachary, sitting on the floor by the edge of his bed, a bottle on his grip. His head lulled as he turned to look at his best friend on the doorframe."Oh.. it's you."Earl sighed. Zachary was indeed drunk. He grabbed the bottle away from Zachary but was pushed by the latter. Earl was getting more pissed than ever. Zachary has been pushing him away lately, to the point that he'd lost his balance and landed on something or someone. It was embarrassing and if this happened to anyone, a fight would've already

    "You really wanna die that much, huh?" Zachary said, his eyes full of rage as he gave Charles a loud hard punch. The impact was too strong which caused Charles to fall to the ground instantly.Everybody gasped and stayed a distance away from Zachary and Charles."What the hell? We're just inviting you!" Charles said, frowning as he wiped blood off his lip.Zachary didn't say anything and was about to attack Charles again when Kathryn caught his arm."Stop! Stop it, Zack!" Kathryn didn't know what to do. Why did Zachary suddenly get mad?"What an asshole," Charles muttered under his breath as one of his friends helped him to stand up.Zachary gritted his teeth and was about to attack again but Kathryn held him still."Zack!

    The sun was already up when Kathryn woke up from her slumber. The sky blue and white curtains were flapping through the open window and Kathryn couldn't help but smile at the sight before her. She could see the pastel-colored skies through the glass walls and she could feel and smell the soft salty air breeze that constantly seeped through the windows.She glanced at her side, feeling her heart becoming warm as she brought her hand to her husband's face and softly caressed his cheek. Kathryn didn't expect being married could give her this kind of emotion.It was all thanks to this sleeping man beside her, that Kathryn could get to experience everything that she never imagined to have. Not to mention, the wonderful emotions radiating through her body whenever she was being held by her husband at night. Kathryn blushed at the thought. It was too early for her to think about such things.Ten months after the proposal and a week after their graduation day, Zachary a

    Five months later"Kathryn! Here, here!" David, from the topmost bench, waved at Kathryn who had her head turning around for the past few minutes. The sound of whistles, cheering, and chatters echoed through the swimming gymnasium as people, both from G University and from other schools listed in the competition, continued to enter the place.Kathryn smiled the moment she saw David. Walking towards the said friend, Kathryn passed by a few other schoolmates who greeted her cheerfully. Among them was Vivian Heather."Kath!" Vivian Heather was smiling widely as she got up from one of the benches."Oh, Vivian? Wow, I didn't notice you because of your hair..."Kathryn recognized Vivian and couldn’t help but comment on her hair. It was too bright, with a shade of intense pink, to be left unnoticed.Vivian Heather grinned, "Hehehe, I changed it last week. Does it look good on me?"Kathryn sm

    "Leave us alone," Mr. Robertson ordered after a few minutes of silence.Kathryn's eyes wavered, she could feel her fingers slightly tremble as she tried to move her legs, following what the towering figure just uttered. She was about to head to the door when Zachary's hand suddenly caught hers, stopping her from leaving.Kathryn stared at Zachary's eyes then, only to find them hard and serious as Zachary sternly whispered, "Don't leave.""Let her leave, we'll do a serious talk," Mr. Robertson's voice wasn't far from Zachary's tone either.Zachary turned to his father, eyes red in anger, "It was you, it was all your fucking fault Kathryn had to suffer by herself. I'm not going to let this go, you hear me? If you dare hurt Kathryn again, I swear to god I'm gonna kill you!"Mr. Robertson frowned then, his eyes casting that of disappointment. "This isn't going to work... Zachary, Kathryn can’t give you a child.

    Soon, the swimming team bid their goodbyes, explaining they too had to attend to some personal matters of their own. They teasingly made a remark to Zachary though, advising the injured man to watch out for any rival who'd take Kathryn away from him, which, as always, Zachary glared at and flipped them off.He was waiting for Kathryn to come when the door finally opened and revealed not one but two figures.Kathryn nudged Chad to come in, capturing Zachary's dragon eyes that looked like they were burning holes on Chad's clothes that were touched by Kathryn. Chad gulped. Zachary's possessiveness was no joke after all. Why did Chad make the biggest mistake? Why was he so dumb?Not wanting to add more reasons to be killed, Chad purposely made a distance from Kathryn and went ahead to meet Zachary."Hey," Chad remained calm as he cleared his throat, "How are your injuries?"Zachary scoffed at that, sending shivers down Chad's spin

    The moment Kathryn had stepped inside the hospital, she stopped for a while and took a deep breath. She couldn't believe she just spoke to those men! It was her first time to face them head-on and she wasn't going to lie that she didn’t feel scared a bit. Heck, the first time she saw them was before the trip, and they were following her like crazy. Kathryn wanted to report them then, but when she discovered they were men from Zachary's father, Kathryn became even more frightened and unwilling to speak. She had the urgency to stop the plan but she didn't also want it to end yet, not when she hadn't proven her worth to be by Zachary's side.The men were actually harmless. Not even once did they touch Kathryn and Kathryn was thankful for that. But she couldn't be at ease, not when they were following her almost every second of every day. Even David and Chad discovered them. It was a miracle Earl's hawk eyes and Zachary's dragon eyes failed to notice the existence of

    Cuddling after a tiring activity turned out to be Zachary and Kathryn's favorite routine. Kathryn's leg was entangled with Zachary's one as Kathryn lay next to her still healing lover.Earl, being the first to know about Zachary finally waking up after Kathryn, visited Zachary a while ago saying Zachary's coach together with Chad, David, and other teammates would probably be visiting too after their practice. Luckily, Earl didn't come at the worst possible scenario and only found the two cuddled up together which confused him to the max before the two explained everything. Earl felt betrayed and so left out he was the only person other than Zachary who didn't know about Kathryn's situation."I thought you stopped liking me because I still sneak out sometimes and drink or smoke," Zachary mentioned while Kathryn was peeling an apple for him on a chair near his bed, just a few minutes after Earl left.Kathryn stopped and stared at Zachary, blinking cluelessly

    Zachary chuckled and quickly kissed Kathryn's lips which deepened not so long after Zachary pulled Kathryn even closer. Giving a few pecks and licking Kathryn's lips while holding her face possessively, Zachary smiled. "Just kidding... stop thinking that way though. I hate it."Kathryn looked up, eyes boring into Zachary’s, unconsciously looking too innocent and cute for the man to see. "Hate what?"Zachary gave her a serious glance, "That you're selfish and all that.""But I am...""Psh. Whatever. Selfish or not, you're mine anyway. You love me and only me," Zachary uttered as he gave a quick loving peck on Kathryn's cheek.Kathryn looked away, blushing hard as she mumbled how Zachary was right even if he sounded cocky about it. Zachary chuckled at the sight as he then softly caressed Kathryn's face, pulling her up to meet his own eyes. Zachary stared right into Kathryn's soul, conveying all his love to the younger as Kathryn, feeling
