“You can't do this to me!”A loud exclamation from Rhezi resonated inside Kraius' office that afternoon. She was pacing back and forth in front of Kraius' table while the latter was looking at her with a mocking smile plastered on his lips. He was obviously teasing and playing her to his content. She was busy taking care of Dos when she received a letter from the firm. Her resignation was declined, and along that paper from the firm was another paper which contained the possible cases that can be filed against her for her indolence at work.She had gone mad. She did not waste any time and went straight to Kraius' office. Dos was better so she let their maids take care of him. Her strides were fast while gripping the paper in her fist when she entered Montreal firm as she was shocked to hear what the man said.Kraius definitely tricked her. The paper stating about the work was just a front. It was obvious from the way he looked at her. "And why is that?" Kraius said mockingly and sh
Rhezi and Jericho silently drove back to the Bailey mansion. The drive was smooth as the road was free of traffic. The man occasionally glanced at the lady, who was quietly looking outside the window.Jericho wanted to explained what Rhezi saw but the latter stopped him from doing so. She didn't want to hear a word from him not until they reached their own home. She didn't want other people to see them argue, although she really couldn't forget what happened.Hasmet Montreal smirked and left after she asked the both of them, not even bothering to answer Rhezi's question. He lightly tapped the woman's shoulder before walking away with authority, clad in his expensive suit and tie.Rhezi's mind was clouded with a lot of thoughts. She knew that Jericho's family is well-off. They actually came from a wealthy family in Germany, but his father established his business in Istanbul. He owned the most famous restaurant there.She once saw Jericho's parents when they visited them in Dubai. It w
Rhezi froze in her place as she stared back at Kraius. She wanted to say words to him but her mind seemed shut that she couldn't even think straight. She didn't know what to do or what to say with her heart erratically beating. So in the end, she let herself fall into the deep stares of the man.It's been years since they last stood together in that special place. They even wrote those words that became the only decoration of the place. The words that Rhezi almost worshipped everytime she heard it being uttered by the man.SENI SEVIYORUM"It's been a while," Kraius spoke which snapped Rhezi out of her reverie.Rhezi blinked and shook her head, nodding as a response to the man. "Yeah," she answered, trying to keep herself calm, even if she was hurt to see them together in one place. The place they once called their safe haven."Sit," the man commanded.Rhezi mindlessly obeyed him. She nodded and walked slowly towards the couch in front of her, the man also doing the same. For Rhezi, t
Rhezi was smiling while watching the little boys playing around the vast garden of the Bailey mansion. Dos was swimming in their huge inflatable pool while his brothers were sliding on the huge slide that was connected to it. They were cheerfully giggling while playing with bubbles."Momma!" Dos called.The boy was already fine and treated after Kraius offered his bone marrow for him. After the boy was confirmed to have leukemia, Kraius didn't hesitate to do what he did. He also volunteered to give blood which the woman felt grateful for. She owed him a lot even though they were still not in good terms after they devoured each other that night. It has been two months since everything happened. Two months since Kraius and her have talked about what happened in the past. It has also been two months since they last talked to each other, only acting casually. Two months of accepting and healing. Two months since everything changed. "Momma! Do you want to join us?" Rhezi exhibited a lig
Rhezi didn't know how she managed to arrive at Monterio Hotel. All she knew was that she desperately needed to be away from Jericho's mansio after he confessed his romantic feelings for her. She didn't see that coming. She was flabbergasted and along with that was the bitterness that swallowed her heart because of the betrayal of someone she trusted so much.She never thought that Jericho would trick her like that. Rhezi was completely believed that he was gay. She was lost when he was with her. She was vulnerable and broken. She ran away after he found her. The immense pain she felt made her forget the anger. Then, she ran away with him and ended all of her connection to her friends and family. Rhezi sighed as she remembered the memories. She was still unwell but she needed to keep herself sane. The woman was spaced out for a few minutes, just staring at the elevator button inside the building. She didn't know if she should go to that place, but in the back of her mind, she thought
Kraius was busy reading papers when her secretary entered. The man immediately shifted his attention to her with furrowed brows. As usual, his secretary still looked very formal as she walked towards his table. She stopped in front of the table and the man raised his brows. "Someone wants to talk to you, Mr. Montreal," she informed.Kraius' forehead creased. He didn't expect any visitor so the confusion was evident in his face. He looked at his Piaget watch afterwards and smiled lightly. He felt excited and happy at the same time. His tiredness from the continuous work suddenly disappeared.The truth was, he was very eager to go home. It's been a few weeks since he brought his kids in his house, and he could say that there were no problem with the situation. They were a little bit not used to things but they eventually adjusted.His kids were all smart. When he told them the truth, they kept quiet and accepted him as their bioligical father. He cried when they first called him Baba.
Kraius didn't waste the moment. He released Rhezi from his tight hug and cupped her beautiful face. There were still tears in her eyes and he didn't waste time to remove it. He wiped her tears using the back of his hand, careful not to hurt the woman in the process. After that, he went closer to Rhezi and kissed her eyes softly.Rhezi immediately closed her eyes, feeling her heart beating erratically. She was hurt and by what she discovered and also guilty. However, Kraius' kisses affected her as the man kissed over her face until it went to her lips.The slow and soft touches of the man's lips on her felt like comfort saying that everything would be alright. That she shouldn't worry so much because he's here to fight for her. That she won't be hurt again because he'd love her without any inhibitions."Sshh, stop crying, Chubz. I hate to see you cry," the man whispered. His soulful brown eyes were on her. His eyes also displayed suffering, just like the woman's."K-Kiss me, Kraius. He
Rhezi had the most beautiful dream that night. She dreamed that Kraius and her got married privately. Just them and some close friends. It was a beach wedding and she was just wearing her usual jeans while Kraius was wearing his khaki shorts. It might be the reason why the sweet smile never left the woman's lips. It seemed true that her heart fluttered in happiness. When the woman opened her eyes, her heart beat accelerated and her smile widened when she felt a heavy thing right above her waist. She reached for it so that the embrace would tighten around her. Then, she turned to face him and saw the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on.His slow breathing fanned over her face but it didn't bother her. She stared at him intently as if her life and death depended on it. Her eyes traced and lingered onto every feature of his face, and it was still perfect in her sight. His striking pointed nose. His thick eyebrows that made him look intimidating. His perfectly shaped lips that s
What does love really mean? When do we know that a certain emotion could be defined as love? How much could a person do and sacrifice for the sake of love?There were a lot of questions flooding Kraius' mind while watching Rhezi slowly walk along the aisle leading to the altar where he was standing. He smiled while his eyes bore unto her. His shoulders were shaking, too. His emotions were too much that he couldn't even stop himself from tearing up. At the same time, he was overwhelmed by the sight of her. Seeing Rhezi walking towards him, Kraius couldn't remember when was the first time he admitted to himself that he was in love with her. However, he could vividly remember when he first saw her smile and pout. That was also the first time his heart skipped a beat, the first time that made his head on a haywire, and the first time he said to himself that he was enchanted with her spell.Rhezi was so beautiful, wearing her vintage wedding gown. The man felt like he fell for her a litt
Rhezi instantly closed her eyes as Kraius' lips touched hers. The woman couldn't explain what she felt when he kissed her. It has been a long time since she wished to be kissed by him. However, fate wasn't on their side. She needed to leave to prove herself and her love for Kraius worthy.They were kissing like no one was watching them. Savouring each other's lips like their life depended on it. The sun that was kissing the sea seemed to be happy for them, too. Even the waves and the sand became one with their hearts, while the eyes that are on them were nothing but sparkling in happiness for the two reunited lovers.When Kraius ended the kiss, Rhezi almost chased his lips just to kiss him again. Her heart knew how she was yearning for him when she saw him standing by the altar, waiting the woman walking along the aisle. She cried at the sight but her heart was filled with happiness when he walked closer to her. "Seni özledim. I-I miss y-you so much, K-Kraius," Rhezi admitted. She wa
Kraius didn't even dare to blink. Even when Arruba finally arrived at the altar, he was still standing still like a statue. His eyes started to water. It seemed like his vision was imagining things again, because from the entrance where Arruba previously stood was Rhezi, shoulders shaking while staring at him. He even cursed himself when his hallucination worsened and saw her walking towards his direction. "What the fuck, man! Move!" He heard Andrius' shout.Kraius didn't understand what he really meant but his feet seemed to have its on own mind that it slowly moved. It slowly walked towards the figure. His vision was blurry but he didn't mind at all. He also didn't care if everyone saw him crying. He was hurting. He was confused. He was happy. Kraius' emotions were too much that when they met at the center of the aisle, he couldn't stop himself from sobbing. His shoulders were shaking too. You can call him gay for acting so, but he didn't care one bit. He cried in happiness, thoug
Seven years later. . . Where do broken hearts go?That has been Kraius' question to himself for the past few years. Love and it's consequences. Does it really have to be so painful and lonely that he couldn't even determine why he was still breathing? Does it really have to be unfair that it still kept on hurting him like hell?While overlooking at the vast ocean of Surigao, the man couldn't help but to curse consecutively. The emptiness and torment that he was feeling was just too much that he wished to stop breathing at all. However, he also wished that the thing that was keeping him sane would be granted sooner. That the impossible would be possible. Everyone knew him as a cheerful lawyrr, but behind his masked persona was an endless torture that his heart had gone through. Like the vast and boundless sea in front of him. The water may look fine and peaceful, but the waves of it still wanted to kiss the sand. To reach for each other despite everything pulling them apart."Are you
