2022-03-09 23:59:32The moment Olivia said those words, Lucy sat up from her seat and slapped away the cup of tea sitting in front of her onto the table, making it fall to the ground. It broke away into a split second, as the tea scattered onto the marbled floor. The noise drew the attention of the staff and the people inside the café in the first place.
Lucy glared at Olivia and Gray with cold eyes.
“Don’t even take his name from your lips. They don’t suit him at all. He’s more sincere and honest than you all. Goodbye, and thanks for the tea.” Lucy stated, her voice was not too loud but it echoed in their minds for a while even after she had left from there. She marched out of the cafeteria without looking behind her.
“That nerve. Where’s she getting that from?” Julia added.
“Don’t know. Maybe from him,” Gray hinted towards Robin.
“Don’t you think he’s getting too much these da

While walking down the streets all by herself, Lucy kept watching the people passing by happily, and she felt, that she was the only unlucky and unfortunate one out of everyone.“He’s with her, trying to live his life happily. I should also, try to do the same without focusing on her or his life.”“We shall go to the town square, that’s the direction of the hotel also. What do you think about it, Robin?” Christina asked.“Sure,” he nods without looking at her face.He was absent-minded as he could only think about Lucy at the moment. About what she might have been thinking at the moment, where she might be, or what she might be doing.Lucy crossed the road, and went to the other side, all of a sudden there was a loud noise of gun firing.It drew her attention and she looks behind to see a man holding onto a gun towards a man with a suitcase.“Give me the bag, I want the money,&rdqu

“Wait up Christina,” Robin called. Christina picked up her pace and started walking faster than ever without looking in any direction.“Chris, wait up.” They were running onto the streets with one chasing after another.But Christina wasn’t going to listen to him no matter what.“Don’t chase after me,” she shouted running towards the main street.All of a sudden a car came in front of her without any warning.“Watch out,” shouted Robin and pulled her away from there to the other side of the pedestal street.They both fell onto the ground with him holding onto her from behind.The car crashed stopped in the middle of the road, without hurting anyone.The crowd gathered to see that.“Can’t you see before jumping into the streets?

Christina glanced over Robin’s face when he said that. She had been observing something for a while, so she decided to ask him about it.“You....are having problems because of me, right?” she asked, staring down at her hand.“I am the reason why you and Lucy are going through troubles in the first place. You like Lucy a lot, don’t you? And I’m the one who’s trying to keep you two apart. Aren’t I?”.“ You don’t like me anymore, right? You feel uncomfortable around me. Don’t you? I am the reason behind your misery.”“You are wrong about it!” Robin stated. His eyes turned to Christina. He brought her closer to his body, by wrapping his arms around her shoulders.“You are already making me feel at ease. I know you ever since you were little. You can never make me feel suffocated. The only one who’s making me feel suffocated is me only. I just don&rsquo

He knocks on the door and steps away from the doorstep. No answer came. He knocks again several times but Lucy didn’t open the door.“Why is she acting this way towards me?”.“Should I call her?” when he was about to take out his phone, he noticed that the door was half-open.He opened it and walked inside.Going inside he noticed the light from the window coming inside the room, making the room dimly lit. All the lights were off making it hard for him to see.“Lucy, are you inside?” he called, his voice almost breaking resonating in the air.“You are home,” a voice replied.He searched for the source of the voice to see that Lucy was sitting beside the sofa with her bag scattered down onto the floor. She was staring onto the tiled floor, her gaze unmovable.“Welcome home,” she said.“Um…I am home. When did you come back?” he stuttered w

Lucy didn’t utter a word in front of him. The silence was the answer to everything. But Robin wasn’t going to give up so easily. He was going to say his last words and back away.His grip on her shoulder grew even tighter.“If you….don’t feel anything even when they have done so many things to you, then…….you are nothing but a barking dog who can only bark and no bite.” There, all the strings are broken.“Who said that I didn’t feel anything?” Lucy mumbled.“I couldn’t hear you clearly, what did you say in there?” he asked.“Who said I didn’t feel anything when they did this to me?” Lucy shouted.Robin was taken aback by her voice. Though he had been expecting this from her.“Then what did you feel when they cheated on you with your project?” Robin asked in a plain tone.“I felt angry! I felt hatred for the

Lucy was standing at the door staring at them with half-dead eyes. Her gaze was unwavering. Her clothes were all dissembled, and her hair was all over the place as well. Her eyes were all puffy from all the sleep she had in a while. Her lips were all dry and sour.Robin and Christina both were surprised, but Christina didn’t show any response to her appearance. She also got up, but with a plain face, showing no emotions at all.Robin got up from his seat right away. And stood in front of her, not able to get his words out of his mouth, he was silent.“Lucy, see here. I can explain-“.“Did I interrupt or something?” Lucy asked.“No, not at all,” Christina replied, crossing her arms in front of her chest, putting on a smirk.“What are you here for? To get your husband or something?” she asked, glancing over at Robin.“No, why would I be here for him? I came for you girl,”

A few moments later,“Ugh, I don’t understand why I decided to accompany them in the first place,” Christina mumbled, as she was walking down the hallways in the big hotel where the after-party was supposed to be held by Lucy’s siblings.“Please burry up a little, the party has already started,” Lucy hurried as she was leading the way. Robin was walking behind them, not able to match up to their pace.“Why are you telling me to hurry when you were the one who took time to get ready in the first place?” Christina frowned.“Uh, women take time to get ready, don’t you know that yourself? You are a girl, aren’t you?” Lucy’s witty remark was sharp like the tip of the blade. Christina was getting angry every single time she made any comments.“You should stop teasing and making fun of me, when it’s me who’s helping you here in the first place, understand that?

“Good evening, brother,” Lucy says, walking past the crowd, towards the direction of her siblings.She smiled seeing Gray, but the reaction of the other was not as she had expected it to be. The smile which was playing on Gray’s face slowly diminished away from seeing her.“Who called her here?” Olivia remarks, raising her voice.“Ooops, Lucy, we forgot to invite you over to the party. Did you come on your own,” Julia comments, bursting out in laughter?All the other people’s attention in the room turns to her all of a sudden.Lucy wasn’t shocked by her sister’s behavior at all. She knew that this is how she was going to react in the first place.“Whether you had invited me over or not. I don’t mind it at all, cause I’m very much happy over the success of my brother Gray. It’s natural for me to come whether you want me to or not,” Lucy replied with a sm

Who’s that?”.“I need you to come to a place, please come immediately.”“A place? But where?”.“I’m sending the location, please come by 9, it’s urgent.”“9, but why?”.“You need to know something. It’s about Mr. Robin. If you won’t hear it out you might regret it later.”“Regret?” Lucy became puzzled for a second.“What are you talking about?

If you sign them then this agreement will be complete.”“After this, you two will no longer be husband and wife.”Lucy’s whole world crumbled. She couldn’t believe anything at all.The lawyer handed out the papers to her to review.“Have a look.” Lucy peeked at the file, still unable to believe it.Then she picked it up gently, and starts to check inside.Robin’s sign remained there by itself.She ran her fingers across the signature.“I know it’s quite sudden news for you to take,” The lawyer began to speak.“But, even you knew it yourself, that this day was going to come eventually.”“You two had been staying separated for over a week, so he finally made up his mind.”“He don’t want anything to do with you, so please if you feel the same, then sign this agreement.”“This

His dad and Robin appeared sitting in the back of the car, smoking a cigar.“Hm….you know it yourself how much of an amount you are telling me to invest in her, aren’t you?”.“That’ll cost you a lot.” “Are you willing to pay for it?”.Robin looked at him with a straightforward gaze.“I know, but I’m still going to take the risk anyway.”“Hm…..”."You may never see her again. Will you still risk it?" his eyes were serious when he looked at Robin. Robin takes a deep breath, "I don't care. As long as she is happy, as long as she wins and earns her reputation, I don't care.""I want her to achieve her goal. I'm ready to pay any price."

He closed the door behind him and locked it. Then carried her up to the bed, and placed her on the bed roughly.Christina looked up at his face unable to understand what was going on.“What is he planning to do?”.He held her hands above her head and peered deep into her eyes.Her throat was starting to go dry out of fear and excitement.“Um…Robin….”.He clicked his tongue and pulled her roughly, helping her get up on her feet from the bed.They stood face to face on the ground.He was starting to take off his clothes. She adverted her eyes right away.He finally unbuttoned his shirt and now stood topless.“Kneel!” he commanded in a harsh tone.She was startled when he yelled.“Uh…..”.“Are you saying-“.“Kneel!” he said again.“On the ground?” she stuttered.He nodded his head sideways.She glanced down at the carpet lying at her feet and gets down on her feet.“Kneel as a dog does!” he added.She changed her posture and sat just like an obedient dog does.She looked at his face and
