Andrea's POVAfter having a chat with my childhood friend, I decided not to let this day passed without paying my friend a visit.

From the moment my car arrived to the address, I didn't hesitate parking and approach the lady sweeping outside the building. She is a middle age woman and I thinking she's nice. That is why I didn't hesitate approaching her and inquired about my friend. Which my guess is right because this woman is nicer than I'm expecting. Based on her smile and eyes that almost formed to smile. "Good day, young lady. What can I do for you today?" The lady said with a smile. "Hi, I want to asked if it's possible to visit my friend.""Your friend? Do you have a name because we have lots of ladies inside who wanted to be your friends.""Oh, Gabriela Davis.

However, they are my friends are Mike will definitely understand the reason why I can't hang out with them for the meantime. "Yeah. Sorry. How are you doing?" I asked and change our topic, so he wouldn't made me feel guilty more. [As of now, I'm here in my father's office to meet my fiance and let my heart decide.]"Wait, what? Fiance?

But I also realized it's time for me to be matured and think about future. I'm already 26 man. None of us knew what are we going to be after ten years and my gut don't want to spend alone, and
Andrea's POV"Hey sis! Where are you going?" I asked my sister when we meet at the stairs. Cassie wearing a purple dress paired with purple stiletto, I even notice the matching purse and earrings. "You seemed dress for an occasion. Is there a birthday or I just didn't know when was the last time you like wearing a dress like that."She looked at her dress and chuckled, "What do you mean by that? I wear this kind of stuff before.""Really when?""Uh, prom? I wear one of these, promise. Why are you here by the way?" She asked. "Well, I came here to spend time with you but you seemed occupied today. Maybe next time?" I muttered but ensure I made her feel guilty. "Where are your date and who is the lucky Adan?" I started interrogating her because she dress with someone. "Date?" Cassie laughed, "I never dated someone. Have you forgot that or intentionally asked me that question?""Sort of. I know that kind of dresses. It came from famous stores in the city and you never wasted any pen
Andrea's POVI came back inside when my gut remind me my purposed of coming here, and that is to visit my father which I didn't know if he's inside because Cassie drawn my attention to her. Especially since my fiance pop up unexpected and he probably received a message from my sister because my annoying interrogations. So, I came back inside just to do my purposed. But I heard talking upstairs and my curiosity kick in, that's why I walk upstairs without making any sound. Then, take a peek just to see whose talking but in my surprised it's my sister and fiance. They seem having a very serious conversation and my gut asking me to eavesdrop. "She almost got us. You know I'm not yet ready to confront her about this matter, Cassie.""Yeah, I absolutely know. That's why I agree to be involved in this freaking relationship we end ten years ago or seven or six? I don't know! I felt bad for my sister!" She shouted.

Kalix's POVI was intently reading the paper that just arrived this morning, I couldn't stop yawning because I didn't sleep enough last night. My mind is too busy every day, that's why I have a hard time falling asleep especially since I still don't know who the man who visited Gabriela was the day before.I just leaned back in my chair and poured my glass of wine, I need it so I can focus on my work and not let my mind wander everywhere. Then, I closed my eyes to rest even for a moment. I can hardly remember the last time I went to a bar to have fun with my friends.Because of work, I have been so busy, that I hardly know what is happening in the lives of my family and the people around me. Unless someone suddenly asks me out, especially since I need that. Not only is it obvious, but I'm also tired.I took a deep breath and was about to take a nap when my phone suddenly rang, so I opened my eyes and reached for my phone that was on the table, before answering the call."Kalix Reagan
Andrea's POV It's like I'm grieving the death of a loved one because of my current situation, locked in my room and hugging my pillow. The last time I felt this kind of sadness was when my mother passed away. Why am I crying? Why do I grieve when this is what I want? Shouldn't I be happy because I won't marry any man?I don't have to marry a man I don't love? I should be happy because no marriage will happen, and I can do everything I want? Shouldn't I celebrate because I will be free? But why does my heart seem to be breaking? Why do I feel the pain? Why? "This is ridiculous," I whispered and immediately stood up but when my feet landed on the cold floor, I collapsed.I slowly stood up and supported myself, before sitting on the bed and laughing at my own thoughts. I feel like a fool when I don't have the right to cry for a man who doesn't love me, and I should be happy because I can go anywhere without thinking about it.All I have to do is forget, then everything will be fine. I'
EPILOGUE~TWO YEARS LATERThird person POV "Ahhhhh!!!!" Andrea screamed in top of her lungs.Her heavy breathing can be heard inside the car and she's losing her mind because of the pain coming to her private part. She's scheduled to deliver her baby today but doesn't expecting such terrible experience to deliver her baby. "Drive faster! You idiot!" She curse to her husband. Kalix was driving calmly, although he's scared at the same time excited to finally meet their child. His face lighten as he saw the hospital ahead of them, and passed all the car just to immediately arrived to the hospital. He park on the parking lot, and help his wife. They are approached by the nurse in charge and let his wife seated on the wheelchair. "Ahhhhhhhhh! He's coming!" Andrea cried in pain and hold her husband's hand. She couldn't endure the pain anymore and wounded Kalix because of her nails, even though she's trying to be gentle but end up hurting her husband. "Hold on, wife. We're almost there
Kalix's POV I am stuck at the middle of the road because of the heavy traffic ahead of me, and couldn't wait any longer because I have a wedding to catch. This is frustrating. When I found out Andrea is getting married with her childhood friend, so without any questions and hesitation. I came home just to stop her from marrying that man. This is unbelievable, I know. Rejecting her and left without telling her where place I'm going to stay, especially since I distanced myself from her when we came back to our city. However, I realized how important she is for me. She's the woman I want to marry and be with forever, that's why I'm not letting her marry him out of pity..."F*ck! This traffic is getting into my nerves!" I pressed my car's horn several times because of frustration. If I can't make it on time. I'll definitely blame myself. But this traffic is getting worst! What an unlucky day. If my brother warned me about this wedding early than he did, maybe I wouldn't stuck in this
THE BIG DAY! Andrea's POV This is really it. My big day and there's not turning back at this stake, they are counting on me and my groom waiting for me inside this church along the guest we invited to my special day. My father's friends, investors and even known millionaires was invited, enough to make me anxious and made me vomit. I was inside our limousine, trying to calm myself and take a deep breath because it's very frustrating. Marrying David was out of my league because I don't want him to give my love, especially since it already belongs to someone else. I don't want to use him as a rebound, but I already did. So, I hate myself from being so careless and self-centered. "Ms. Rodriguez, your father message me. They are waiting inside," the driver remind me that I'm getting married. "Oh, sorry. Got a little nervous..." I reasoned."That's normal, miss. I remember the day I married the girl in my dreams, that day I almost passed out in joy."He chuckled, "I humiliate myself
Andrea's POV "We never thought you're going to marry someone else this fast," Maddy said while checking the latest magazine for wedding gowns in the famous shop we stop by. "Yeah, Maddy was right. I thought you are destined to him, and can't wait to see you two walking on the aisle. But, my thoughts was pretty wrong from the very beginning. I don't have to say what," Cassie muttered. "Well, at least our best friend is finally getting married. Am I right?" Gabriela disposed. They agreed to what Gabriela said and I'm busy searching for my dress, and gladly my friends are here to help me to choose what's best for my unplanned wedding. However, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I'm referring to Kalix, and that's quite inappropriate for me. This wedding wasn't even part of my plan at the first place but because of my anger, and I was carried away by that. I provoke myself to do such unacceptable actions that lead me here, which is inescapable because David was elated."Have you find
David's POV "Are you sure about your decision?" Mr. Rodriguez asked. I nodded, "I am, Mr. Rodriguez. I am sure about this.""But my daughter needs you."Yeah, she needs me before. But everything change quickly as the days passed by, and as the day passing by. Andrea changing moderately. She changed to someone whose so genuine and caring, and become someone who I never see in my life. "No, she doesn't need me anymore. Andrea can stand with her own feet and doesn't need any help from me," I replied. "Whatever my daughter did, hope you forgive her and stay. Even though she looked feisty, she's still the fragile girl we know..." Mr. Rodriguez muttered. "I highly doubt that, sir. Andrea wasn't afraid anymore, she is no longer the girl we know. She's not terrified, scared, or even using her rude side to fight with everyone else. She is not the woman we know..." I answered. My childhood best friend change, but I think that's good? I mean, she no longer need me and doesn't have to came
FIVE WEEKS LATER Andrea's POV "Kalix! Please, open the door!" I've been knocking for three hours and still no one answering my call. After he left our mansion without saying goodbye and turn into a complete ghost, after that he cut our connections to each other and blocked me to his social media accounts. I was literally dump by him but it doesn't matter anymore..."Open the door, please! Talked to me!" Even if I looked like an idiot here who keep knocking on his door without even knowing if he's still living here. He's not staying on his penthouse anymore and this is my last chance talking to him, when his father told me he own a small house. Kalix is very modest for living on a tiny yet cozy house, but I think he's not living here anymore since I still receive nothing. I stop from knocking and sat down on his patio, and then, I pressed my forehead to my knees and start crying. This is my first time falling in love but already lost the chances to have the man I love. Does it mea
Kalix's POVI parked my car and head outside, before glimpsing to her room and the lights is already off. I glanced at the window intently and sighed because it's been weeks since decided to distance myself away from her, and cut the unexpected bond we share at the beach. Perhaps it's my fault because I tame a very unfriendly person, and now need to pay what kind of consequences awaits me. I set an alarm to my car beforehand heading inside, which everything is eaten by darkness. But I ignore that odd and unusual darkness because whenever I'm coming home to this mansion late, the lights is on. Yes, I intentionally went home late to avoid Andrea and to rescued her from falling in love with me. However, when I was about to step on the stairs. The light turn on and saw her standing on the end of the stairs, she probably waiting for me although her sights already falling asleep. While I'm in the first floor looking at her because I thought she's already asleep, and doesn't need to deal h
FIVE DAYS AGOAndrea's POV I've been laying on my bed for almost three hours and still waiting for him to come home. I don't know but he always come home late and it made me feel Kalix trying to avoid me for five days! I've been waiting for him every night and end up falling asleep, as if he knew I can't stay awake that longer and that case he doesn't need to deal with me. And scientifically speaking, this house felt empty because I was all alone since coming home from vacation and my friends are quite busy with their own lives. My father and I already discussed about everything, and forgive him for all the mistakes he'd done. I even asked my biological family to let Cassie back to our lives because she's my sister and can't live without her. I immediately woke up to my bed when heard a car parked outside the mansion, so I checked myself on the mirror to make sure I am still fresh. Before heading downstairs with excitement and my heart beating fast at the same time. In my surprised
Kalix's POVWhen everyone was busy having a chat in the living room, I decided to make my way out of the house because of my job waiting for me in my office. I already see them and for me that's enough to go home, and not stay here. But when I was about to grab the doorknob, Gabriela grabbed it first and blocked my way. She's holding it tightly and looking at my eyes intently. As if Gabriela has something to say to me but having second thoughts how to start it. "Where'd you think your going?" She asked. "Leaving, I guess? I have no business here anymore, so it's time for me to leave.""Pardon?" She muttered. "What? Did I say something wrong?" I answered. "For goodness sake, Kalix. This is your time!""What'd you mean?""Don't be such innocent, Kal. Andrea was inside and that's your chance to speak with her, especially since you have a memorable vacation in Florida. Aren't you?" She muttered. "Wait, how did you know about that? Don't tell me...""Yes!" She immediately answered, "
