Chapter: Chapter 14: Party Invitation“Sweetie… what’s the meaning of this?” Lawrence’ low and soft voice ensued as he looked at Georgia with the face of shock. He was holding the piece of paper she left last night. Georgia looked down on it when she saw the slight tremble in his hand that held it.But she quickly removed her eyes from it. Lawrence felt his world crashing as he saw that reaction. Then, he moved his gaze toward her knuckles… her empty fingers. Just as what he read on the letter, the ring isn’t there anymore.“I’m so sorry, Lawrence. Please, excuse me.” Georgia avoided his gaze and walked past him. The grip on her knuckles was so tight that she could dig her nails on her skin. She walked away with heavy steps, leaving him behind.Lawrence's jaw dropped as his eyes floated blankly out of surprise. However, something caught his attention that cleared his vision. A car from across suddenly rolled down the windshield, revealing the presence of the person he knew who’s wearing shades. Despite the shades, he cou

Chapter: Chapter 13: The Right CallDid she make the right call? The man she was together with for three years… is it really right for her to cut everything? Georgia took a long sigh as she took a sip on the hot coffee inside the cafe. Actually, leaving a note in his sleep last night just seemed like a really dumb call to her. After all, they’re bound to meet in the hospital.Unless, she would make it obvious to avoid him–which is likely to happen. She doesn’t have enough guts for a confrontation yet.Rather than keeping up and marrying him while ignoring what he did, Georgia chose an action that would give them peace eventually–even if it takes long for peace. She chose a path where both of them would be free, and let fate decide what’s going to happen in her and his life.“Having deep thoughts?” as her gaze floated blankly, a familiar irritating voice suddenly ensued from behind. Her head responded quickly and turned to where the voice came from. There she saw the annoying smile on the face of Primo.As Primo felt ack

Chapter: Chapter 12: At What CostThe silence in the room has never been this loud ever. Georgia walked through the room painted in pastel color. But the bright lights illuminating couldn’t even lift the weight in her heart. This is the condominium that she and Lawrence lived together in. And now that walked alone in this wide space, the silence didn’t fail to make her feel so alone ever.“I don’t know what to do anymore…” her voice cracked as her knees weakened. With the wall behind, Georgia got the support of her back. She bit her lower lip, trying to resist the urge of crying. “What am I gonna do?...” This time, Georgia finally let her tears roll down her cheeks.She’s stuck with the decisions lying on her hand. What exactly is the right thing for her to do right now? Keep on going through this and marry him and forget what she knew? Or cut her ties with him after confronting him on the face? Just thinking about the series of choices in her mind breaks her already.“Sweetie…” perhaps it was because of her occupied

Chapter: Chapter 11: Whose Side?There was a tinge of hope in Georgia that wanted to suggest that Primo isn’t serious about what he just said before he dropped off the call. However, that tinge of hope went along the abyss of hopelessness when she found him on the ground floor at the hospital through the glass window. That was just a few minutes after their phone call!Georgia quickly elevated toward the ground floor and met him who was about to pick his phone up to call her. She stared at him for a second with her intent gazes before deciding to drag him out of the hospital and brought him to the park nearby with only a few people..“What is this about?” Georgia’s voice was chilling as she spoke. She picked the photos from her lab coat and showed them to him. “How did you know that I’m related to him? How did you know whom to bring these photos to?” then Georgia closed her eyes as she felt her heart beating fast in edging emotions.“Please tell me that you’re just messing with me…” her eyes met his grey ones that w

Chapter: Chapter 10: Her GloryIt feels like a bucket of ice was poured over her body. Her eyes, widened and terrified, were fixated at the monitor while she was seated frozen on her seat. Shown before her eyes is the playing footage of the sickening event that happened on that fateful day.“No… this isn’t true…” her trembling mouth finally has enough strength to speak. She could feel her blood draining out of her body. The paleness and cold added to the tense she’s feeling as her mind tried to decipher the video–although she’s basically spoon-fed with enough information right now.The confusion she had that day that she had chosen to ignore was brought back today. The things she chose to ignore were now coming together to make up an unthinkable picture. So, it wasn’t just a simple confusion she had when she learned that Lawrence was on surgery by the time when it wasn’t in his schedule. The presence she felt in her office when she was looking for him that she chose to ignore in fear that he could be a harmful per

Chapter: Chapter 9: The Other FaceGoing back to the day before the rhythm of her life took a strange turn, everybody in the hospital was busy. None of the doctors were taking their time leisurely–they were chasing for the time of the lives of their patients.The clock has just struck at 9:30am. The skies were blue and the ambience wasn’t that much tied-up yet. Covered up in surgical personal protective equipment including the face and hair, a figure of a man sneaked inside the empty reception. He’s tall with an amusing body proportion.He specifically went straight to the cubicle owned by Nurse Lily. He made it look so calm and natural in sneaking that even when a nurse came in, he didn’t even flinch.“Are you looking for something, Doc? I can help.” It was Nurse Logan. He came closer to him to offer help–only to receive intent gazes from him. Nurse Logan was genuinely concerned, so he waited for his response.The vibration of his phone, however, cut the momentum–brushing off his gaze from him. He widened the opening
