All Chapters of Chasing Her: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Roy____ I squinted my eyes at my laptop screen, trying to read the content on the page I was browsing through. Frustrated, I groaned at myself, thinking of the best way to end this crazy work I was doing. It was about six in the evening, which meant it was time to go home. But how could I go home when this stupid work wasn't willing to be done? Exhausted, I sighed, threw my head back to lean my back against my seat. Taking my phone from the glass table in front of me, I turned it on, waited for a while, particularly waiting for a text from Renee. But, I got nothing. The phone screen was blank.  This was weird. Since yesterday's afternoon, Renee hadn't attempted to give me a call or send a text. Fine, I wasn't replying to her texts and calls these days, but that didn't mean I didn't like to get them from her. Replying to her texts would only make me feel guilty, so that was t

Roy____ Thanks to the traffic-free road. If the road wasn't traffic-free, I would have probably had a car accident by now, owing to the rate at which I was speeding. It was dangerous to speed this much, but I was totally enraged. I just needed to go to Kath, ask her for the damn reason she had to send that video to Renee. First, why would she film such a thing? And second, what would she gain from doing that? Taking a turn to the next street, which was the street of Kath's house, the thought of how shattered Renee had looked, worried me. She wasn't willing to listen to anything I had to say, she hit me hard, she expressed her pain.  And, what bothered me even more was how she would feel when she got to know I was duping her. Only seeing that video, she was running crazy. How would she react when she found out this was a game? I didn't know she was this emotional. 

"D-Do you think I'm joking?" He was finally able to speak.  He was angry, yet fearful. If this man thought he would use his strictness to change the decision I had made, then he had to know his thought was wrong.  "I know it's not a joke." My voice was thicker than usual. "Yes, I'm in love with Renee. I know you don't want that, but that's what had to happen." "Are you crazy?!" He cried. His body shook as he did so. "Have you forgotten you're only fooling her? H-How can you say you love her? That's not possible." I swallowed. "People say all things work together for good. If you hadn't asked me to fool her, I wouldn't have met someone with a good soul like hers." I read disbelief in his eyes. It seemed like my words were too real to be true.  "Roy…" he leaned backwards, lingered his hand in the air. "I know you're not happy about that vi

I was helpless. Time was counting, yet I was doing nothing. I could only stare at her, pray she would come with me. According to Gregory, Dad and his men were surely up to something dangerous. I knew Dad needed something important from Renee, so goodness knew what he could do to get it at all costs.  "Renee." My eyebrows knitted, owing to how worried I was. Taking a step close, I took her hands. "Please, come with me. I promise to explain everything. You need to leave here as soon as possible." She scoffed, and removed her hands from mine. She didn't resist crying. Crying with a great deal of emotions I couldn't decipher.  "No." Her voice was low, almost in a whisper. "I've tried to end the pain I feel, but my effort's not working. If I go with you, what's the probability I won't get hurt?" I swallowed a pound in my throat. "Please," I pleaded in a whisper. "I can't risk losing you. Come wi

His passionate kisses and hugs were nothing but lust. The way he adored my body was nothing but lust. Whenever he had mentioned “I love you”, it was nothing but lust. The beautiful emotions I always saw in those blue eyes were nothing but lust. The way he made my body react whenever he touched me, was nothing but lust.  Everything was lust. Pure lust. Lust with deceit.  I was shattered, regretful, helpless, exhausted. I still didn't want to believe it. This was a coincidence. To be sincere, I had always known something wasn't right. I had known something was missing in this relationship, but this had never been my thought. He was deceiving me? Last night, after a long time of weeping and wailing, I had ambled back into the beach house, and had stayed in the room he had asked me to stay in. I had slipped on a sleep shirt, had tried as hard as possible to sleep, but I had only ended up staying awake a
