An hour and thirty have passed since the two couples have been walking on the side of the road. They should have reached the hill minutes ago but Jingfei kept on stopping the man whenever something interesting caught her attention. She would ask Alexander to take a picture of her.

The two were standing at the side of the road as Jingfei was checking her phone, "Baby, we- Wait a minute, let me answer this first." Alexander hurriedly grabbed his phone from his pocket when it suddenly rang.

"Hello?" He mumbled and glanced at the woman beside him when Jingfei gently pulled the hem of his shirt. "Put it on speaker!" Jingfei mouthed and the man nodded. 

"Monsieur! I’m sorry for bothering you on your vacation but may I ask

    During luncheon, since Alexander is not around anymore, Alexandria had Jingfei all for herself. She guided the woman through the venue where they will have their lunch along with the rest of the crew.It was a building painted with blue and white, and was detached from the main building where Jingfei didn't know that that place existed.As soon as they reached the building, Alexandria swiped a card and the double doors opened, "Are you sure I'm allowed to join with you? Isn't this exclusive for the crew members?" Jingfei whispered as Alexandria dragged her towards the door on the left side. There are three doors facing the entrance of the building."Don't worry! You've got me and besides, some of the crew members have been wanting to meet you since yesterday." Alexandria uttered and pushed the door

    Later that evening, after they had their dinner, Alexandria, who was already laying flat on Jingfei's bed, stared at the woman in front of her as she brushed her long black hair. It was already eight in the evening and Alexandria had just entered the room of Jingfei."You should have just entered my room. How many minutes have you waited outside?" Jingfei asked, turning her body around to face Alexandria.The young lady shrugged her shoulders as she raised her head and stared at the ceiling while her thumb was below her jawline. "Just about ten minutes or less. I can't remember." She answered."So, what did you and Cobalt talk about earlier? I saw him approaching you." Alexandria pried as she laid chest flat on the bed.Jingfei turned her body as

    The sun had already risen up above the sky, its rays shining brightly as it illuminated the whole resort and caused the clear blue water of the ocean to glimmer like it had crystals thrown on it. Alexandria, who had slept earlier last night, was already awake. She sat up on the bed while staring at the space between Jingfei's luggage and the table beside it.Staring at the space was Alexandria's routine whenever she woke up. "What should I have for breakfast?" She mumbled, still staring at the space. It took her five minutes before she finally blinked her eyes and stared at the woman beside her when she felt someone move."Feifei!" She shook Jingfei's shoulder when she saw her crying and muttering something which she couldn't hear clearly. "Feifei! Hey, wake up!" Hey, Feifei! You're dreaming! Hey!" Alexandria tried to wake the woman, she slapped her

    "Hey! Good Morning Jingfei! Did you sleep well?" Nickel, who just came back the same time as Jingfei got near the table asked as she placed her plate down. Unlike her black silky hair tied in a bun yesterday, the woman who was not wearing her glasses had her purple wig on and tied it into pigtail style.Jingfei lightly smiled, "Good Morning. Yeah, I did sleep well last night. How about you?” She asked back while taking a glimpse at the three ladies walking towards them.Pulling the chair, Nickel answered with a wide smile, “I also sleep well!"She then took a seat and at the same time the three women who were with them yesterday had also arrived at the table. Each one of them greeted Jingfei as they took their seats. Jingfei alsl greeted them back with a smile. "Oh yes, you better go take you

    Her gaze did not leave the person standing next to the table in front of her, not until she got distracted by the hand that gently tapped her shoulder. Jingfei slightly shifted her gaze and saw Cobalt standing next to her, “Is everything alright? I have been calling your name but it seems that you didn’t hear me.” He questioned, his worried expression was visible.The woman glanced back in front, and seeing that the figure was already gone, she replied, “Yeah, everything’s okay. Are you going to give Kuro back to me?” She asked, reaching her hand out to take Kuroo but the man shook his head.“I’ll hold onto him first while you finish your food- glancing at the woman’s plate before smiling at her- may I join you

    Lucien's gaze was deep as he stared at the woman, he pressed his lips together and gaped his mouth as he spoke, “I know… I know very well that I don’t have the right to get jealous because we are not a thing but I couldn’t help it. When I saw you being near a man, my cousin is no exception, I felt some raging anger in my system that wanted to come out.” His voice was deep and Jingfei could feel his seriousness which is not new to her. The man was always serious but this time is different.Jingfei sighed as she had felt this dilemma was too much for her to handle, “Look Monsieur Alarie, I think you just miss your soon-to-be-wife. Why don’t you just go and give Mademoiselle Oceane a call. I don’t have time for your drama or what-so-ever you call this thing you're doing right now. And if you don’t plan on leaving me alone, I’d better exc

Jingfei was hesitant at first when she got invited as well since she was a nobody to the company and she was only there because of Alexandria. “Are you sure I’m allowed to be here? This was supposed to be a party for you and your team.” She whispered to Alexandria who just patted her on the shoulder, “Don’t worry we're just here to eat. After these we'll sneak out and we have prepared a small bonfire near the shore.” The young lady whispered and sneakily smiled at Jingfei.“So, did you enjoy your mini photoshoot with Nickel?” Flame asked and Jingfei nodded, &ldquo

  • The Queen's Search for Love   Epilogue

    A year had passed since I received the letter that Alexandria handed to me during the chaotic wedding day of Oceane and Hugo. I finally got to call that man by his real name. It’s also been a year and a half since he didn’t came back from his so-called business trip. After reading the content of the letter, my whole world almost collapsed. I wanted to call him but I have no means to do so since his number was no longer available as well as is his email and social media accounts. They were all deactivated and deleted. Not even his family and close friends were able to contact him and Giovanni. The sound of the sea as the waves gone back and forth from the shore back to the ocean gave calmness to my soul as I stared at the fiery red with a tinge of yellow and orange hue sky, waiting for the sun to set and wishing that tomorrow... a bright new day... he would comeback to me.“You forgot your shawl again!” I felt a warm thick cloth hanged o

    A week had already passed since Alexander went to a business trip. He was supposed to come back after three days but... not his body nor shadow have appeared. Jingfei had become worried that something might happened to him and tried to contact him but the number he was using was no longer available. She tried asking for Alexandria and his parents but none of them were able to reach him as well. Madame Heroux tried to pull some strings to ask the airport for his flight details but she only got the information of his three days flight and no further information aside from that. “You really don’t have any means to contact yor brother? It’s been a week since he left but no calls and messages or even emails come from him.” Jingfei mumbled as her eyes stayed focus on the huge flat screen.“Don’t worry about him. Alexander will comeback before Lucien and Oceane’s wedding the day after tomorrow. Maybe something had happened in

    The soft mattress sunk as Alexander sat down beside Jingfei. The woman was giving him a glare while pulling the thick blanket to cover her naked body underneath. “What happened to your promise? We didn’t even finish packing your clothes.” Jingfei’s loud vocie echoed inside the man’s Alexander turned his head on the floor to see the scattered clothes of him and Jingfei. “Not that! Over there!” The woman pointed his piled clothes on top of the chair and the suitcase laying on the floor. Jingfei could feel her face burning when Alexander stared back at her with a playful look on his face. “We can just finish that later. Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy me pouning on top of you? My back stings right now, wife.” Alexander’s roared a laugh when the woman hid herself under the blanket. “Would you please stop laughing, Alexander!” Jingfei lowered the blanket as she took a peek on Alexander wh

    “Did something happened at the company?” Lucien buckled his seltbelt first before taking a glance at the woman beside him. Nymphis started the car’s engine and had a glimpse of the rearview mirror. “She just said that the investors demanded for your attendance at the meeting. I almost forgot about the meeting as well.”“Was it about the expansion of the apparel store? Or the one where I invested in a movie?”“Both! I guess? You didn’t even consult me about that movie thing.” Jingfei sneered as she drove away from the mall’s parking lot.“It was an abrupt decision. I read the proposal from your study room and just affixed my signature. Sinclaire Wise will also be one of the cast so it won’t be a problem.”“She’s not even that good so could you please stop sponsoring my cousin’s projects?” A glint of irritation could be heard from the young lady’s voice

    Her eyes slightly widened as her lips parted a bit. Jingfei didn’t expect that just after two weeks since that incident had happened, she will encounter him at the jewelry store where she is choosing her engagement ring. The memories of their meeting for the first time after seven years flashed like lightning on her head. She realized that she haven’t said what she wanted to say after remembering that she just left him after he explined everything. “Darling? Are you alright?” Alexander’s deep and gentle vocie got her back to her senses. She looked up to him and smiled, “Yes, I’m alright,” she reassurely uttered before shifting her gaze back to Nymphis and the real Lucien. She stood up and plitely questioned Nymphis who was apcing towards them. “It’s been a while. What are you doing here Miss Nymphis? Did you just got here?” “Yes indeed it’s been a while, Jingfei. And oh! We we

    Jingfei was buckling her seatbelt when Alexander popped inside the driver seat. He just finished conversing with one of the head chefs. As he was wearing his seatbelt, he could feel the intense stare from the woman beside him. “What is it darling?” He turne his head to look at Jingfei whose lips were a bit extended into a pout. “You should have not announced it yet darling!” She exclaimed in a low tone, refering to their engagement.“Why? Did you not like that others knew about your proposal?” “That’s the case why I don’t want them yet to know that were engage since it was me who proposed. I am n-“Alexander reached for the woman’s hand when he saw her worried expression. “You don’t have to worry that you... a woman proposed to me. Yes we’ve grew up and knew that it is the man who asks the woman’s hand for marriage but I don’t care what would others say about y

    *clink* *clink* *clink* The sound of the glass bottle colliding with each other echoed in the whole first floor of Nymphis’ house. Her blue platform heels halted in front of a wasted man laying on the cold floor. It’s already eight in the morning and like the scene she witnessed yesterday morning, the real Lucien was knocked off on the cold floor again.“Hah!” A breathy sight escape from the young lady’s lips and without hesistation, Nymphis kicked the man with all her might. Not minding if he would scream in pian but she doubt that he could still feel pain.“Wake up! Are you planning to kill your liver and other organs, or what?” Her voice echoed and Lucien could only groan not because of the pain inflicted by Nymphis but because of his throbbing head. Folding her arms together and resting it on her chest, Nymphis tilted her body a little bit to have a clear look on Lucien’s wasted face. “Do you still

    “Are you alright, Alexander?” Tilting her head, Jingfei asked when the man didn’t give her an answer.“Why are you standing in front of your door and dressed like that? Elite told me that you are not feeling well.” The woman’s lips curved upwards, she chuckled at what the man said. “I’m probably sick but not from what Alexandria have told you. Here-” Jingfei handed a black long rectangular cloth to the man, “wear this and don’t try to peek at my back. Just look at me as you pair your eyes with that.” Alexander confusedly stared at the woman as he grabbed the long cloth. As what Jingfei had instructed him, he paired his eyes without even taking his gaze on her lovely face. “Why am I getting blindfolded today.” He mumbled as the image of his sister doing the same thing poppes to his mind. “How many finger I’m having on air right now?” The woman raised three of h

    Alexander firmly stared at the woman beside him. “What nonsense are you spouting?” His eyes almost squinting and a crease on his forehead was visible.“I’m not spouting nonsense. I’m telling you the truth! Before you go to your business trip. You’ll hear her explanation. I won’t tell you everything because it’s not my business to tell it to you after all. I was just giving you hints so you’ll open that godd*amn eyes of yours and see that Jingfei truly loves you. You better go see your doctor and get some treatment once you know things. And by the way, when are you leaving?” Alexander’s face was still filled with confusion but nonetheless he still answered his sister. “The day after tomorrow.” Taking one cupcake from the box. Alexandria briefly looked at her brother before shifting her whole body towards the direction of the view that overlooks both trees and the city. Clasping both her han
