“I can’t. I don’t want to do that, Zion.” Zion could not response after Harriet said that. He just looked at her with the same expression as before, one without tension. “Before Cassius went here, I promised that I will stay by his side. And I intend to do that until we solved everything.” At once, Zion’s expression hardened. Her gaze stayed on his face, but soon she lowered her eyes and fixated them on the floor. Seconds after, Zion spoke. “It is because of the future you saw in your dream, that’s why you can’t love me again?” Like raindrops trickling down, the voice that said this was chilling. Harriet took her eyes off the ground and shifted her gaze back to the person in front of her. “What did I do? What exactly happened in the past that you decided to stop loving me?” Zion was relaxed at the first glance. But he was unstable. To the point that the composure that he was trying to maintain was being overshadowed. Harriet might not have noticed, but Zion’s other hand ha
Elona is looking at herself through the mirror. Despite having wounds, scratches and bruises on her face, she’s still charismatic gorgeous.Young, sexy, rich and a successful entrepreneur. Some called her a woman with no flaws. However, Elona wouldn’t agree with such terms. No person is perfect, either her.If there is one thing that she longed to have in order to feel that she’s done with her life, then that is fulfilling her revenge.“Thank you for playing as my boyfriend before, Alejandro.”Standing by the window, Alejandro looked at her back. “It’s not like this is the first time I played as your boyfriend just to save you.”Through the mirror, Elona smiled at him.“However, you sure were bold back there. Where did you get the guts to provoke Finn’s legal wife?”Elona picked up the comb and gently brushed her entangled black hair.“I have the courage to seduce Finn. What’s more in provoking his possessive wife?”Alejandro laid a small laugh. He shook his head while walking to her
“Can you give me the trip gift?”Astell looked at his daughter who’s holding the white envelope in her hand. Inside is the trip written gift which he personally made for her.He glanced up and looked at his daughter’s complexion. Her skin is paler. There are dark circles under her eyes and she cannot even fake a smile on her lips.These past few days, Astell heard from the servants that Harriet stayed in her room. She ate meals with everyone but she only had few bites and drinks. Harriet sounded fine whenever Astell was talking with her, but he sometimes caught her looking afar. At first, he thought it is because she remembered all of her childhood days. However, it seems it isn’t also the case.Astell put down the report documents. He smiled at Harriet and asked, “You wanted to go on a trip?”“Yes,” Harriet answered. “I think I really need it right now.”“I see,” Astell murmured.Harriet still didn’t look better. It all started when Zion visited them nights ago. Since then, she’s imp
“No!” The loud shout echoed inside the condo unit. With widened eyes, Zion looked at his cousin who suddenly screamed out of nowhere. Did Zion hear it right? The usually calm and stern Cassius shouted so loud? “W-Why?” Zion stuttered in shock, wondering what made Cassius shouted. Cassius stared at Zion for a long time, trying in vain to compose himself. ‘What should I say?’ Cassius asked internally. “Don’t go inside my room,” is the first thing he thought of saying, which couldn’t conceal his nervousness. Cassius hated and condemned how stupid he is for not conquering the anxiety of getting caught. It will be much awkward if Zion found out that Harriet is inside. Zion stared at Cassius who broke into sweat. Meanwhile, inside the room, Harriet paused like a statue after hitting the lamp by mistake. A moment ago, she noticed that the doorknob wasn’t locked. Therefore, she tiptoed towards the door. However, because it was dim inside the room, she bumped onto the table and as
When Harriet hugged him, he felt his heart beats as it pumped his blood through his veins. His blood rushed to the tips of his finger, and the pulse came in hot waves that cause everything else to beat. Badump. Badump. Badump. It was scary, but exciting at the same time. He felt like he’s riding in a roller coaster with extreme course of loop. Yet, he loves it. He loves the nervousness which was holding his breath. “You don’t need to apologize. Instead, I wanted to thank you. Thank you for staying alive. Thank you for being strong, Cassius.” He started to feel his body melting at the words he heard from her. All the worries and regrets he felt after remembering what happened years ago have subsided, like water vapor under the scorching sun. Cassius also knew it at this moment, that he will have a hard time moving on from this kind of love. And yes. He loves her more than one could think of. He won’t dare compare his feelings to Zion, but one thing is for sure, he might not l
Harriet finished her visit. She went to Cassius, asked him if he will go on a trip with her, and got his answer. There’s no reason for her to stay in his condominium, especially when the guards who were sent by her father, are still waiting for her outside the building.“Then, I will go now,” Harriet said, picking up her small bag.Cassius looked at her. He also has no reason to keep Harriet in his condo. Tomorrow they will see each other in the trip so he thought that he should send her away. Yet…‘I wanted to be with her for a long time.’ “It is still early,” Cassius said.As if his words had gravity force on them, Harriet stopped moving and looked back. What does he mean that the time is still early? When Harriet checked her wrist watch, it is already 8 in the evening. Maybe, for other people, eight is still early. But she thinks that she stayed too much inside.“Zion might be still awake,” Cassius added. “You might bump onto him on your way out.”Now, Cassius said something that
