Chapter 1: Victimless Crime

I know a lot of women who love to get involved in life with life, but only now have I met a man who is not only nosy but also weird and rude.My gaze cast down on my wristwatch. It is three o’clock in the afternoon. Dad is not in the office yet and the man who is sitting in the visitor’s lair has no plans to leave.Earlier I was standing beside the water dispenser near the door. I didn’t want to go near Papa’s big table because in front of it was sitting the weird man who had been glaring at me since I got inside the office.How can I get rid of him?I look at the window. There is a bonsai pot there. If I slap him in the face with it, will he excuse himself? When I looked at the large wooden table, I saw a large binder. Such a perfect thing for smacking his face full of resentment in the world. It’s been a while since I’ve had someone glare at me.“Do you need something other than falsely accusing me of a victimless crime?” I asked him.It was only at that moment he averted his gaze.

Chapter 2: Underwater

Many people believe you’ll see your dream when you are at death’s door, and I think it’s true. If only my dream hadn’t kicked me awake.My eyes widened as I slowly sank under the warm water. It’s dark. There was no light around except for the light above. I quickly swam towards the light and poked my head above the salt water.Shocks. Why did I see Levi’s deep eyes and thin lips under the water?I almost kissed him but he suddenly kicked me away. Tapping my forehead, I sighed. Well Rishel, if you’re gonna daydream please make Levi a little romantic, okay?Suddenly, a shrill female voice shouted from above the dock. “Levi! What are you doing there? Come back, we’re late!”I looked up at the dock and saw a beautiful woman who looked like Nicole, the only girl member of the Vine. She was wearing a summer hat on her head and a blue dress that was swaying with the afternoon breeze. Just by standing there, one will know that the girl’s elegant and sophisticated. So unlike me who’s swimming

Chapter 3: Sunset at Dock

I pursed my lips and took a step back to Larica’s shipyard just a few meters away from the private dock. Lyndon was just following behind and I had no plans to talk to him. I was thankful that he was silent even though it was awkward.When the wind blew, I hugged myself. The coolness of the breeze at dusk is not for nothing, but he placed a warm jacket around my shoulder and my teeth stopped chattering instantly. I simply turned to the side and saw the side view of his face.The sun was setting in the west and the soft rays touched the tip of his nose. From the angle I could see, it was as if the dim rays of the sun painted Lyndon’s face, tracing his side profile which made him look ethereal.I looked away and sighed. He has the looks but the attitude… err nevermind.A few minutes later, I took a step into the shipyard. Here is the place where ships used for sailing are repaired.It was one of Larica Shipment’s properties and it is not far from the shipping port where the center of bu

Chapter 4: Unwanted Guest

The hair on the back of my neck rose and I quickly stepped out of the dock. But suddenly I stumbled. I screamed and stood up shaking. I quickened my pace. My trembling only subsided when my feet hit the ground.I bit my lower lip and glanced at the dock. No one was there. But who spoke earlier? I hugged myself.Since that night in Boljoon two months ago, I have been hearing something. At first, I didn’t pay attention but now and then I was suddenly terrified especially since I could feel the eyes following my every move. These past few days I haven’t felt anything strange so I’m relieved, but when I heard that voice on the dock… I couldn’t help but think that my fear of that night still hasn’t gone away.Whatever mystery was wrapped in that voice, I didn’t think about it. I quickly straightened myself up and ran back to the Larica building. I waited quietly for the family driver while looking at the full moon in the sky.~~~It was eleven o’clock at night when I got home from the city

Chapter 5: Back at Campus

The next day, Gerard drove me to Argao. I told Papa that there was no need but he didn’t listen. I snorted. It’s better to take a jeep to the University.I leaned my head on the headrest and folded my arms, looking out the window. The surroundings are still dark and the wind’s chilly against my bare skin. It was dawn and the cold was keeping me awake.“Miss, did you bring the one in the back?” Gerard asked.I glanced at him for a moment before looking back outside the window. “Is there a problem?”“Nothing, Miss.” He closed his eyes for a moment before snorting. “I’ve noticed these past few days that you don’t bring anything heavy to University. It’s just surprising now.”My brows raised as my eyes squinted. “Don’t worry about it anymore, okay?”I then blinked and folded my arms. A few minutes later, the car passed the crime scene. I saw the yellow cross line on the main road of Arbor. I bit my lower lip.It’s been two months since the rumored crime took place in Baranggay Arbor. They

Chapter 6: Something's new

The glass window of the car rolled down and I saw the face of Lyndon, that good Engineer who likes to accuse people around and Papa’s business partner. I sighed for the nth times and nodded, agreeing to him half-heartedly. “I know, I know,” I said and frowned. He’s been talking about how it’s not safe to travel alone, and I can still hear him talk about it even when we almost reach the port. It’s just annoying. I’m not a kid anymore but why does he always scold me? I know his point and I understand it, but I just let him blabber because his car was about to reach the Larica building. I leaned forward on the back of the passenger seat and looked out the windshield. The car turns to Pier 3 and turns to gate 5, where Pier 1 is. Until now, I didn’t understand why the numbering of the piers and gates was reversed. I think it just exactly only at Pier 3, eh? “The renovation will start next week. In the meantime, don’t visit the Port,” Lyndon said suddenly, cutting my thoughts. I looked

Chapter 7: Meet them

He raised his eyebrows at what I said. After a while, the corner of his lips twitched and he laughed. “We’ll see, Rishel… We’ll see,” he said before walking away. I clenched my fists and glared at the bird flying over the waves. The bird turned to me and broke its wing. The bird cried before it dived under the waves. And I was supposedly sympathetic to that little thing but I couldn’t. I still thought of Lyndon’s words about the prior murder case in Argao because I was there. I AM CURRENTLY reading CareLikeGoldFish’s work. The book is a mystery-thriller and even without romance, I couldn’t stop reading it whole because the scenes are so familiar, it’s like I’ve seen them before. Just like the scene where the main character shot his friend. It’s the same as what I saw there in Boljoon two months ago. WiFi suddenly died. I blinked and came out of the room with a dark expression. I was about to go straight to the kitchen because I knew Mama was the one with the plan, but suddenly I he

Chapter 8: along the road

What else can I expect from Nicole? Of course, she doesn’t want to be disturbed. June smiled wryly at me while Ariel’s face was grimacing. I know that Ariel and Nicole’s relationship is not that good so I understand if his expression is a little off when I mentioned that name. That’s probably one of the reasons why Ariel had agreed and persuaded me to stay with them in Club Fort — to annoy Levi’s girlfriend, Nicole.It takes minutes for Tiden to run down the stairs with a big grin hanging on his lips. He walks towards me and put his arms around my shoulder, sitting beside me. My lips twitch with a smile and poke him. “So? Did Mama agree with you?” I asked. I hold no hope that my mother agrees since she is strict and never lets a stranger barge into the second floor freely, but I am dumbfounded when I see Tiden nod with a smug smile on his lips.“You don’t believe me? Ask your mother then,” Tiden said chuckling when he look at my bewildered face.I scorn at him and fold my arms in fron

Chapter 9: Challenge

I ignored that strange feeling. I got out of the car and looked around the resort.Club Fort Med is a resort located at Arbor, the same barangay as El Grande Lat. Not too simple and not too flashy just enough for a quiet weekend. The edge of my lips curled up.I looked up at the large wooden placard on which the name of the resort was engraved. It was my first time being with the Vine. It’s scary but also exciting.I saw that Tiden was already inside the resort so I followed. He went straight to a modernized restaurant that was slightly elevated than the rest of the resort. He went inside and sat in a chair next to a large glass wall where I could see the entire resort.‘Not bad,’ I thought.I sat in the chair opposite him and looked outside the glass wall. I saw the three pools of Club Fort Med which the resort’s known for.There was a small round table between us and a small blooming cactus in the center planted in a small pot. A bonsai plant. I took the menu that was on the table a
