Madeline's point of viewNi Hao! This is your girl, Maddy! I was inside of my family's famous coffee shop in the city and of course, I wasn't alone and I will never be alone because I have friends. Since I was a child and born in China, my father thought I am better without friends until we migrated here to deal with his business. And now, I have friends who never leave me even though the time was tough for us. "Hey, Maddy!" Gabriela called my name. I looked at her, "What? Don't you know how to respect others' privacy?" "Privacy my a*s. We're inside your family's famous coffee shop yet you wanted a damn privacy?" She rudely replied. Gabriela was known as rude b*tch because of her rude attitude, but unlike us? She was more attractive than us. Why? Every men is dying to meet her and have s*x with her so I am not wondering how she got her karma. don't tell anyone else, okay? Gabby got pregnant by an unknown man and because of her stupidity, her father had to take his child away. It
Andrea's point of viewJust by looking at the house where I need to spend my remaining life with the man I hated the most, it made me dizzy and vomit, thinking my father planned this all along! If I wasn't a respectful daughter maybe we're not done talking about this stupid marriage! I want to live peacefully but how can I do that? My dad tied me up and now there's no other choice but to live with him. "This is nasty," I murmured while pulling my pink luggage inside my room, even though I need to live with him. I insist on having my own room to prevent another mistake from happening. I laid down on the soft, comfortable bed after this unwanted living together. My world will change instantly not because Kalix has to live with me but because my movements will be limited. Argh! I hate my dad! Suddenly someone knocked on my door and I didn't need to look at who that daring person was because smelling his perfume was enough."What?!" I asked irritably. "Where's my room?" He asked. My
Kalix's point of view"Tea?" I offered her to make everything clear.She smiled and accept the tea that I offer, so I sat down to the opposite chair while looking at her intently. Then, I heard her deep sighed enough for me to know there's something off with her. I put down the cup of tea because somehow there's part of me wanted to apologize. Even if I'd done nothing except to the fact she was my s*x partner, she volunteered herself to be my f*ck buddy. And letting her be was the biggest mistake I ever made just because she looks like her, I used an innocent woman to cover my lonely heart even though years has been past. "What was your thinking?" Her voice linger to my ears, causing me to turn back into reality."What?" I asked. "I said what was your thinking?" She repeat.I shook my head, "Nothing important." "You're thinking about what happened earlier because Andrea seem not like seeing me at this house, don't you?" I pause but did everything I can to hide that. Gabriela was
Andrea's point of view"So, what do you want us to talked about?" I asked when finally reach my dad's old office inside this house. I forgot to mention, this place was one of our old property. My parents and I use to stay in here every vacation to spend alone time with us, far away from my dad's work. But it's all a memory now because after my mother died, my father change immediately. I sat down in my father's old chair, like a real owner of Rodriguez Corporation and the last heir in our clan because my dad doesn't had a chance to have siblings. That's a big favor for me after all, no cousins will going after to my father's wealth. Since I'm the only heir. You get that? "This is about us," she answered after a long silence prevailed between us. "Us? You mean me, Kalix, you and them?"She nodded, "Yes." "About what? I'm not quite sure what you're trying to imply about the word 'us'." She sat down on the opposite chair while her eyes remain looking at me. The she glanced at me,
Cassie's point of viewI grab the book from the bookshelf and went to the empty chair inside our library, we have a library that build just for me. When I was a child, my adoptive parents discovered that I love reading books. I love every stories with twist, especially about investigating. That's why when I go to college, they ask me to get a course that related to my desire and being a detective is my biggest dream. But I thought why they ask me to get that kind of a course because they want me to achieve my goal. Not until they told me their biggest secret. I am adopted, and they want me to find their real daughter that been taken years ago. So, as my payment for their kindness I accepted their will. Without hatred. I turn the book's page while quietly reading a very interesting book, it's been laying on my bookshelf for years because I thought this is the worst book I've seen. But I'm wrong…"I bring you some tea, to help you focus." I smile to my mother, "Thanks." "What are
Two Weeks Later@Kalix and Andrea's Engagement Party. Andrea's point of view"Hi, dear. You're so stunning, this news is out of nowhere. Your father invite us in very last minute," Mrs. Lopez uttered when our path crosses in the hallway. I'm trying to runaway but these guests didn't want to leave me alone, they're interrogating me, asking me questions that not necessary, and worst, they asking me how I found him. Well, Kalix has been out with few ladies and I didn't care if he f*ck them. Who care if he's into foursome or threesome? I laughed nervously, "T-thank you… I'm glad you came to my party, Mrs. Lopez." "Of course, dear. I wouldn't let this party held without me. Besides your father is a friend of mine so." "Yeah, right. I think I'll go ahead, my dad was looking for me. We doesn't wanted to see his furious face, aren't we?" I muttered. "Sure, congratulations by the way." I made my way out, trying to blend myself to the guests while looking for that guy. Where the hell is
Andrea's point of view"Andy! We've been looking for you," Maddy uttered after pulling me from the crowds and start interviewing me. "Where's the others?" I looked around, trying to find our other friends but failed. "Stop looking for them. Cassie and Gabriela told me they can't make it to your party and as a friend, I don't want to see my friend sad. So, I came by myself." I smile because somehow she's concern and wanted to make me happy. Although, I really expecting them to come yet my expectations doesn't meet. Perhaps they're too busy? Cassie and I talk before, she's busy with her sick mom while Gabby? I don't know…I haven't heard anything from her since then. "Aww, don't be sad. I'm here," she embraced me tightly and rub my back. "I know, I just wanted to see them. You know, seeing my friends supporting me, especially when the time like this…" She parted away from me, "I will support you until the end. Even though I done nothing for you before, I'm still your friend." "T
Cassie's point of view"Take this medicine, mom." I handed her the capsule and help her drink the water, before putting it down. I couldn't help feel sad for my mother because of her condition, we didn't get a chance coming to Andrea's engagement Party. She's blaming herself why we didn't make it that night because she's too weak, and can't stand on her own since her legs is still weak. I can feel her sadness and as adopted child, making my adoptive parents happy was my goal. However, they wanted something that hard to achieve and that is letting Andy know about her real identity. "What's the matter?" My mom asked, which made me back to reality. I smiled, "Nothing. Take a rest, mom." "I know your upset because your dad cannot give you the love you deserve," She started opening a conversation with me.I remained silent and didn't intend of saying anything because it's not even necessary.She held my hand and uttered, "Remember the time we adopt you?" I nodded, "Yeah." "I insist
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, "
