I stood in a large garden. My feet rested on the ground which resembled a cloud of sky, soft and white. As far as the eye could see I did not find a single person passing by or a building. There is only a pool of water that gives off the scent of vanilla.
A little girl suddenly grabbed my arm. I haven't neutralized everything yet, so I followed where she ran. The child is only about my thigh height, maybe she is about 5 years old with golden brown hair. She laughed every time the reeds she was holding were carried up into the air, before she handed it over to me.
"Mom, hurry up."
Did I hear wrong? Why did she call me Mom? Strangely, my lips could not be moved. I could not ask and finally chose to stop running. Now she straightens her head to amaze me because her green eyes are so pretty. I've seen her exact eyes before.
"Dad is waiting, Mom. If we don't hurry, he'll leave us."
She forced her ru
= Flashback =Sean's POVHarvey came out of the campus chancellor's office to come over to me. My brother came here because of what I did to Angel. One week ago Angel passed out. I was the one who kept the animals in her locker until she was unconscious.I returned to focus on looking at someone. Angel is taking a photo to celebrate her proposal trial while holding a bouquet of flowers. Ah, from what I heard Angel is the first graduate in our class. It is possible that the graduation period is still 3 months away, but she has already graduated.Also I'm sure she's not an ordinary girl. I'm addicted to doing things that make her hate me. Then I questioned why was she the only one I bothered with? I never get bored of her."Is Angel the reason you do silly things?""What?" I asked while turning to Harvey. He looked straight at Angel, and damn I didn't like how he watched her witho
One week passed since I was discharged from the hospital. I started to catch up with various things I had left behind, one of which was reading the script. After reading the script with the actors and actresses, I decided to leave immediately. Yes, one of my novels will be made into a film for the first time. That's quite a feat for me personally, and Harvey plans to have a small celebration with dinner at our favorite restaurant."Hey, wait!"Someone screamed, giving me a reflex to press a button to keep the elevator open. A girl walks in. As I recall, she was the legal team, and was in charge of all kinds of licensing for my films. I'm sure I met her somewhere but I forgot.The elevator went down and there were only the two of us in it. Suddenly I remembered what someone said; The handsome guy and the nerdy girl can't be together. There was a misunderstanding between them."You were attracted to my magic loc
Feeling my cell phone vibrate, I finally got up lazily. I tilted my body slightly before realizing that I was in the arms of Sean. Sean and I chose to stay in the theater on the stage to lie down. We were mostly silent as if we were contemplating all that had happened. His mistake, my mistake, and how the goddess of fortune really did not side with us."Is Harvey looking for you?"I found Sean awake all along. Those eyes are empty, not looking at me at all. So I decided to ignore Harvey's calls. This is not the time for me to pick up the phone from Harvey when Sean looks sad."I am hungry." I said, making Sean smile."Choose anything," He took out his cell phone so I could choose the food menu through the online application. "Order 3 menu
Throwing my shoes while looking for Sean was the right thing, causing me now to end up on his broad back. He carried me to the parking lot, and of course I didn't forget to put my arm around his neck. Last night we spent a lot of time together. Staying at the theater, kissing, until we got caught making love by a katsu delivery man who was really embarrassing!"What are you laughing at?" Sean looked away. How could he remain charming this early? We haven't even washed our faces or anything yet, but he still looks handsome."N-no.""Were you imagining our sex last night?""You pervert!""Yes, and you're crazy about this pervert." Sean's hand that was holding my body weight was directed tow
Sean's POVI closed the file that I just signed. Bertha - my secretary, took it with a clumsy smile. Of course, whoever is in that position will behave like that. Jessie appeared in the doorway angrily. Dammit, what else did she want here?"When are we getting married ?!" She shouted after the two of us were left in the room. I chose to grab a proposal for the purpose of a merger with another company. This is more profitable than replying to her words. "I don't want my stomach to keep getting bigger while we're just engaged. I want to get married, Sean!""Shut up!" My fist on the table made several objects fall. She lowered her head, took a broken frame of my photo. I could hear her laughing followed by hitting my chest."Really? Have
I closed my laptop which had been showing the miscrosft word screen. Empty. Trying to continue writing a novel in a situation like this was a big mistake. Walking towards the balcony from the height of the second floor, I looked at the night view around the hostel. After leaving home, I have nowhere to go. To be honest, Suki was the choice, but our last meeting was filled with disappointment because I confessed my affair with Sean. So renting a 3x4 hostel room was my only option.Rereading Harvey's last message, I can't help but think. He confirmed his infertility sentence, but still wanted to acknowledge the child in my stomach as his own. Honestly this situation is getting crazy. I mean it's Sean's responsibility, not him. And the bitter thing is, until now Sean is still difficult to contact. It was as if he was ignoring me on purpose.From my nightgown pocket I took a cigarette. I grabbed it between my lips while playing the lighter. I al
A feeling of calm enveloped me as I walked out of a room. We are able to pass this important day well. I embraced all the documents in my chest. From different doors I saw Harvey approaching, and we walked together. We smiled at each other before we went back to being busy with our own thoughts.Arriving outside the building, I noticed four large pillars that stood firmly. A lot of time Harvey and I have spent together. Black and white. Laughter-Crying. Ups and downs. But to live as deadly as the wedding vows we made before, we clearly failed. Yes, today the court decided we were officially divorced. Harvey only allowed me to sue for divorce only if I had given birth. There was still love he had offered in the last few months until this morning when we were in the court waiting room, but I really couldn't. Finally, I filed my divorce suit right after two months I gave birth to a little a
Suki must have seen it wrong. There was no way Sean would still have the courage to look for me. Not after he dumped me at the hostel, and the day he married Jessie. My relationship with Sean has ended for a long time. Then why did he secretly return? What does he want to destroy again?"You've worked hard, Angel."Steve's deep voice interrupted my daydreams. My hand slipped away from the computer mouse, and stood up from the chair to bow politely. He's my boss - he's a lawyer and owner of the law firm where I worked for the past month."For the letter from Mrs. Grace I have received it. So tomorrow you can go directly to the Court." I said, handing him the document. He took it, then his eyes looked several times over to my desk made up of piles of paper.
It's been a month since Darla sprained her leg. So it's been a month since Darla hasn't spoken to Sean again. Darla forgot about Steve's threats because she was already hurt by Sean's words. How could Darla approach Sean when Sean's attitude was so arrogant? Besides... besides that Darla is pregnant. Yes, Darla got pregnant by Sean. Unfortunately she still keeps her pregnancy a secret from anyone, except for Britney. So Darla decided to stop working at the nightclub and Britney allowed it. Today Darla is cooking a lot of food because it is a special day. Today is Noah's first day of school. Since being pregnant, Darla feels more passionate about cooking. The great thing is that Darla's cooking is now very delicious. It's 1pm and Noah should be back from school. She paced back and forth in front of the house anxiously. Suddenly a taxi pulled up in front of her house and Noah got out of there. Not only that, Noah was with Meredith. "Noah, come here," Darla said
Darla never imagined that she would be in this situation. She was on Sean's back. Yes, Sean carried her to the mini market. Darla could not focus because Sean's back was so board and wide, besides that the smell of Sean's perfume made Darla mesmerized. Sean's perfume was already mixed with sweat and it reminded her of the time they had sex a few days ago. "Wrap your hands around my neck," Sean said because Darla almost fell over. Slowly Darla's hands were now on Sean's neck. She had been holding Sean's shoulder because she felt it was too awkward. To be honest she was shy, but she couldn't walk alone either. Her ankle was too sore. "Sorry, I must be heavy," said Darla feeling bad. "No, you're not heavy." "I weigh 50 kg." Darla said honestly. “Why did you say that? Do you want to know my weight?” Sean chimed in. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm heavy." "If you're still saying the same thing then I'll leave you her
Darla woke up earlier than usual. The night after Sean followed her to the nightclub, Darla couldn't think of anything. She had been quiet for a while in the club and asked Britney for an opinion, after which she decided to take time off work that night. So Darla came back home around 10 and Noah was asleep. Ah, she hasn't even spoken to her younger brother since yesterday afternoon.To refresh her mind, Darla decided to jog around the complex. She also hadn't exercised in a long time so her muscles felt stiff. After warming up, Darla started jogging. She has heard that when we are stressed, jogging is one of the sports that can be used as an option.Yes, Darla is under a lot of stress. Britney's words are still etched in her mind. Darla really had no other choice but to refuse Steve's request, so Darla couldn't help but obey. Darla must look for evidence while she pretends to cooperate with Steve. She honestly didn't want to set Sean up, but Noah's life was at stake.
Harriet was still pretending to be asleep even as Sean carried her. Noah walked behind Sean and Anne, so Noah could see that Harriet was slowly opening her eyes. Noah smiled and Harriet smiled back."Go back to sleep," Noah said quietly.Harriet immediately closed her eyes again. She was quite happy to meet Noah even though this afternoon Sean forbade them to meet. And she was also happy to be carried by Sean. Harriet missed Sean's warm embrace."Noah? Come and walk beside me."Anne's words made Noah run over, so they all walked side by side down the cemetery area. Anne's wrinkled hand gripped Noah's.“We want to thank you. If you hadn't told us about Angel’s grave, we might not have thought of coming here. Previously we were really frantic and panicked,” said Anne gratefully."Yeah, you're welcome, Grandma. Because the only place I can think of is this.” Noah gave a sweet smile."Thank you darling." Once again
In Sean's hand was a toy in the form of a lego. He had just bought this at a toy store as he was going home. Harriet will definitely love this lego. Previously Harriet was still angry that she didn't want to talk to Sean. Sean understood that because lately he had been quite fond of his little daughter.When Sean arrived at his house, he saw Anne was in the yard looking for something. "Mom, what's wrong? What are you looking for?” Sean asked.Anne approached Sean and her face showed panic. “Sean… Harriet disappeared. She's not in the house," answered Anne in a trembling voice."W-what?" Sean's eyes widened in surprise. His heart felt like it was going to burst when he heard that. "Are you sure, Mom?""Yeah, I haven't been able to find Harriet since."Sean immediately ran to enter the house. He entered Harriet's room which was no longer locked even though his little daughter had locked it since this afternoon. Sean's feet searched
"Britney? May I ask your advice?”Those were the first words that came out of Darla's lips as soon as she approached Britney. Britney exhaled the smoke, then she pressed the butt against the ashtray."What do you want to ask?"Darla sat down next to Britney. To be honest she was hesitant to talk let alone ask for advice from Britney. Darla used to keep everything to herself, but this time she felt like she wanted to share her worries. Darla wanted to know what a Britney's point of view was."I ... I mean it's about my friend," Darla lied. She couldn't possibly say that this was about her. If Britney knew the truth, Britney might be more frustrated than Darla.“What problem does your friend have?”Darla fiddled with her fingers for a moment before she worked up the courage to speak. “My friend received a threat from someone. She was told to make a man love her, then after that my friend had to leave the man. She is in
Darla was just about to enter the nightclub where she worked and just at that moment Steve called her. She squeezed the phone in her hand because she didn't want to talk to Steve at all. She had already guessed that Steve would ask about the progress of her relationship with Sean. Oh, this can't even be called progress. They even had a fight this afternoon."What are you calling me for?" she asked as soon as she picked up Steve's call. She pulled over to the side of the road right beside the nightclub."Is there any progress?" Steve asked matter-of-factly."Steve, didn't you give me three months?" Darla reminded Steve."Yeah, I'm just making sure you don't retreat unilaterally."Darla snorted. “Did I think I had that kind of opportunity? You put me in the most difficult position.”"It's good that you're aware of that." Steve laughed with satisfaction. “If you are caught unilaterally retreating, then I will not hesitate to k
"Could you show us where your basement is?"Steve did not immediately respond to Xavier's request and it made Harvey smile. Steve seemed a bit taken aback and maybe he was starting to get intimidated that Harvey knew about the secret room.“Yeah, sure, but I haven't been in the basement in a while so maybe it'll get pretty dirty. Maybe about 6 months ago,” Steve said pretending to think.Steve walked in front of them. There is a door and in that room there is a secret staircase leading to the basement. They all descended the stairs and now they were all finally in the basement. Steve turned on the light switch, but the light was dim as a sign that this room was rarely visited. Xavier and his team are even pretty sure that this basement was probably last visited a few months ago. This basement room is dirty and stuffy."This must be your trick. You want to deceive us all," said Harvey confidently. Previously, Dalton had talked about this baseme
After making sure Caroline was waiting in the car, Harvey walked behind Xavier's team. Harvey tried to call Steve's cell phone number to find out if Steve was home or not, but Steve didn't pick up at all. Steve was certainly confused after his crime was caught until the rescue team was here.Harvey and Xavier's team stepped further into the house. This house is very quiet as if uninhabited. Suddenly they heard the sound of the cell phone ringing tone.Xavier glanced at Harvey. "Are you calling him?" Harvey nodded his head, then he showed Xavier the screen of his cell phone. He did call Steve, but he didn't pick up. "Keep calling him. I'm sure he'll pick up if you keep calling him.""Yeah, looks like Steve still doesn't know we're here."“You better look for something in every corner of this house. If there's anything suspicious, you can tell me right away,” Xavier told his team of two men."Okay sir," they answered in unison, then they
