Chapter 49: Reminiscence: You Had A Choice
CAt times like this…how nice will it be if I could just be like these birds flocking away from place to place? How nice is it to fly and feel the wind brushing off my entirety?
How nice is it…to be free…that whenever something bad happens, you could just scurry away with those wings and disappear from everyone. No one will know where you are…
Why is it so hard…to be happy?
As my mind wandered at the sight of a white dove flapping its wings away, I found myself standing on Lily Palace.
It wasn't hard to enter. After all, Sammy told me a few spots to sneak in if I feel like visiting. And it didn't fail me, for the guards didn't get to suspect my trespassing even unti

A year has passed. Things have changed. A lot of it. Seasons have come and gone, so do people…Yeah people…So as…you….I thought I was fine about everything now. That I've moved on. That all the things that happened have been put out of my mind…What a jokester…really. For here I am again, back at this hateful place…back at this city where you, who came like a storm in my life, turned all the bad shits into the most beautiful dream. A dream where I never thought that…you'd become a nightmare, too…Back at this place after a long while…weeping silently, as my eyes that I have regained recently…viewed the most painful sight, I could have never imagined.Seeing you…being wed to the very same woman, you've claimed you never loved…"So…you've learnt to love her…." I whispered to the cold air, watching as two, shining people were the center of the glittering crowd, clapping and rejoicing for the union of two, gorgeous people.Union…to think you'd formally stage a grand wedding with her as a

Like him, I was shocked by my own gesture. He was a stranger, yet, with one look at his eyes, my body suddenly…moved.Before I knew it…my hand slowly reached his damp cheeks, caressing it carefully. Despite seeming creepy as of the moment, the only thing that remained on my mind was how pained and stressed he looked.It was like…mirrored by those eyes, were myself, from a year ago…until now…It took a few minutes for him to regain his senses and shove the strange hand touching him, prompting me to wake up from my delusion as well."I don't need your pity!" He exclaimed before taking a few steps, bewildered by the unexpected remark of a stranger.As he walked away, my sights landed on my palm.What's that all about, Lia? You don't even know him…I thought he had gone off after all that but surprisingly, he remained on the rooftop, now gazing up at the same scenery as I was before I noticed his presence. Towards Crimson Hotel…There it is…that same melancholic stare…"Is it your hobby t

A strong, irritating sensation came flashing in my eyes, damping my sensitive eyelids with a familiar warmth. As I opened my eyes, the wooden ceiling greeted my blurry sight.Wait…it was a dream?I reached for my head, which was aching the moment I opened my eyes. But, it wasn't just my head. My entire body…was screaming in pain. I curled on top of the body, hugging myself when a wave of ghost pain trickled on my every sense. I felt like I broke into a cold sweat.That dream…shit, did I die in that dream?I shivered on that thought. Everything that transpired, I still…felt it. The pain on my body as it collided with that speeding truck.It was surreal…"Damn it, mom. Just leave us alone. All is done so you can't do anything about it anymore. Dad already gave us his blessing–oh shit, Lia! Love, you're awake!" Suddenly, the door flung open, revealing Rupert who came rushing in towards me, throwing the phone he was holding.He hugged me tight on his arms, burying my face deep on his ches

"I think we didn't really get to formally introduce ourselves, did we?" He got up from his seat and lent his palm."Nice to meet you, Ms. Lianna. This is quite the unusual greeting." He chuckled. I reached for his hand to return the greeting."It really is. So, you're that woman's lover, huh? I admit, I was shocked to hear she had someone with her while she…uhmm…you know…" Hesitant as it is, my mouth couldn't help but to be curious. In just a day, a lot has happened. Until now, my mind is still taking its all to process everything, to the point we forgot even the simplest thing. To find out each other's names."I get what you mean…I have the same sentiments…" He sat back beside me, staring into nothingness."What are you going to do from now on?" I haven't thought about that…what do I want to do with this miraculous second chance? What…path would I take…this time?"Judging from your expression, you still believe that he could change…" I shivered at his remark. With widened eyes, I t

Just for a few days…it seemed like I was stuck in a dream. He kept his word. He did spent the next few days with me, happily catering to my every need. We were wandering around, having the best of our lives.I was getting swayed. To the point that fate had to slap me hard with the viscious reality once again.My gaze were fixated at his phone, currently vibrating on top of the bedside table. I didn't mean to take a peep but my eyes themselves were drawn to the caller.EJ calling…If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't assumed its a man, a friend maybe of his…however, my mind screamed only one, familiar name bearing those initials.The call stopped after a while. I thought it would end there, but a notification popped up."Meet me at Hiro's bar tonight. It's urgent."A message…from her…My hand shook midair. However, I held it in when the bathroom door flung open. With only a towel in his waist, Rupert walked towards me as he flicked his drenched hair."Love, what's–""Someone called
The Broken Ring: Rewriting the Illegitimate Heiress' Fate Chapter 55: Reminiscence: Cheers to Us
"Here""Thanks." I reached for the bottle and immediately drank it down. The moment the last drop went down my throat, my vision became hazy for a moment.Oh wow. Just how many have I drunk now? This is a first.There were several empty bottles lining up on top of the counter, as if someone just completely bulldozed the entire shelf in front of us.Yet, I wasn't the only one adding bottles to the pile. From my side, he chugged another beer down to the very last drop, exhaling a sigh as he dropped the empty glass.The pub he introduced was kind of isolated, thus there were only a handful of people inside, much to my delight.I don't want those fancy sharks seeing me like this."Hey, that's enough…"He tried to block my hand when I asked for another bottle. Clicking my tongue, I shoved his hand away."Nah. I need more. I still…ugh, my head's still aching…""You're a first time drinker, aren't you? A lightweight at that…The drink's making your head twitch…" I scoffed at his remark and to

"Ugh…" A painful throbbing in my head made me let go of the bottle in my hand.Shit. I drank too much. My eyes wandered to the pub. There were still a few people inside, either still drinking or have totally blacked out. I shook my head to try to ease off the dizziness currently impeding my vision.Yet, my blurry sight landed on that one girl lying down her head on top of the counter."Hey…wake up…" I hesitantly called, slowly shaking her shoulders, yet to no avail. She was totally out.Damn...Now, what?While I pondered on what to do next, she suddenly moved, now facing my direction. I didn't know why but my hand just…reached her, carefully bringing the loose strands covering her face off. The moment I got a clear look at her face, I froze.This girl…she's weeping…even in her sleep.Somehow, my chest constricted to reasons I couldn't fully comprehend.Do I take pity on this girl? To someone I just met a few times?Not once did I consider other women other than…Eri…as beautiful…But
The Broken Ring: Rewriting the Illegitimate Heiress' Fate Chapter 57: Reminiscence: Weight Off My Shoulders
"Ugh…" The moment I woke up, an intense pain in my head greeted me. Wait…where am I?With vision still blurry, I roamed my eyes around me. The room was dark. I thought it was still night but when I reached my phone, shock took over when the screen registered that it was already late afternoon.The heck…did I sleep all morning?I usually wake up early, but with the curtains blocking out the sunlight, I guess I wasn't aware of the time."You're awake?" Suddenly, the silence in the room where I was at broke with a woman's voice from the open door."Who…" I closed my eyes when another round of stinging pain hit my system. "Here. Drink this. It helps ease the hangover." I was busy massaging my throbbing temple when that woman slowly walked towards me, with a tray in hand. As she sat beside me and placed the metal tray on top of the bedside table, only then I managed to recognize her.That figure and this voice…its–"L-Lacey…?""Hi, Lia. It's been a while." She faced me with a smile. As s
