The loud sound from the megaphone was heard as it was turned on, "Good Afternoon to all of you. I just want to say my utmost thank you to all of you. Thank you for being patient with the director and to the photographer’s demand. Thank you for enduring the scorching sun and also for coming all the way here. Thank you so much and  great job everyone! As a reward for all of your hard work. This afternoon and tomorrow, you can do what you want and you may also extend your vacation here for two days. Now, let's wrap up everything so we can enjoy the rest of the day." Lucien spoke as he was standing between the director and the photographer.

The director, the photographer, crew members, the five models and even Cobalt clapped their hands when Lucien ended his short speech with the words they wanted to hear.

    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

    Later that evening, at the separate building where they had their luncheon last time, Jingfei sat along with Alexandria and here friends at the same table as they waited for their dinner to be served.While enjoying their time swimming, they have received a notice that the dinner will be a formal event in order to celebrate the success of their photoshoot. 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

    A day has passed since Jingfei got home from the resort. The sight of the busy and noisy restaurant felt so nostalgic to her even though she was gone for just five days which is not new to her since she would also take a longer day off from work.Jingfei, who was sitting at the chair near the cashier counter, glanced at Alexander through the glass window of the door. The man had a serious look on his face as he dressed the order of a customer. “Did you two have a fight?” Betty whispered and caught Jingfei’s attention, “Is it too obvious?” The woman whispered back and Betty nodded her head, “Too obvious if you ask me. When you walked through the door early this morning, I could sense that something was going on between the two of you.”Jingfei pursed her lips together and clicked her tongue as she heaved a sigh. It was h

    When Jingfei was out of sight, Alexandria along with her friends started taking some dishes and placing them on their plates. “I think you’ve ordered too much serving, Elite.” Flame muttered as she feast on the prawn she was holding.“Don’t worry about that! I could take that home. And besides I know you all wanted to eat here so take this chance to fill your stomach because this is a once in a lifetime free food from my brother.” Alexandria plainly uttered as she started munching the crunchy calamari. Flame just shrugged her shoulders and continued enjoying her food.The other five were already enjoying each dish that was served on the table. Florine, who is very particular with her diet, broke her diet principle. “Just this once, I’ll let myself enjoy it.” She mumbled.

    Later that evening, Hugo heard the sound of two people conversing near his door.“We should have bought some hot soup at my favorite restaurant for Hugo. They have a soup there that could relieve colds.” Hugo heard a mellow and sweet voice, it belonged to the woman who could make his heart beat.“I bought some ingredients. We can just cook for him.” Alexander raised the paper bag he was holding. “Oh! Is that so then let me ring the doorbell.” Jingfei reached her finger and before it could contact the small button, the door suddenly opened and a young man with his messy hair and sweaty appearance, popped out behind the door. Hugo was wearing a thick sweat shirt and pants. On his right hand was a thick blue blanket.“Go..ood Evening!” He greeted the two

    After the call ended, Jingfei went to get Kuro’s food and water. As she was scooping the cat food, she took a glance at the tom cat, who was sitting on the long sofa, giving himself a bath. “Right, I should go take him to the vet tomorrow.” Jingfei mumbled and soon as she was done with Kuro’s food, she then went closer to the sink and filled the container with water.“Baby, dinner!” Jingfei shouted as she walked slowly towards the corner of her hallway and carefully placed the two containers down. She then stood up and took a glance at Kuro who was still sitting on the sofa. Jingfei sighed as she went closer to the tomcat and took him from the sofa.“You’re not hungry?” She asked as they went back to where she placed his containers. Once Jingfei had placed Kuro down, the tomcat began eating his f

    The sun was already beaming brightly through the glass window on Jingfei’s room when Alexander woke up from his deep slumber. He spared a glance at the queen size bed beside him and the figure of the woman who was using the bed was already gone, the beddings and pillows were already well kept.Alexander stretched his arms and hips before he stood up and tidied up the beddings and mattress on the floor. He made sure that the blanket he used was folded neatly and placed it on top of Jingfei’s bed along with the two huge pillows.He then walked towards the wall and just like what Jingfei did last night, Alexander pressed the button and the hidden compartment appeared. Alexander went back to carry the mattress and slid it back to where it was placed along with the thick beddings and pillows.After he c

    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
