Dale's POV “I did” I can feel Chelsea’s grip tightens and my heart starts to beat really fast. “Then we have a business to talk. It’s either you cooperate or we’ll have to summon you” She unwillingly let us enter their house and offered us something to drink. It was against her will but we’re still considered guests and she doesn’t want to appear rude and disrespectful. “I knew it. You’re the one I saw that night when he died” “Tsk! I was in the States when I heard he passed away” “Then are you denying the fact that I saw you that night?!” “Seriously, you’re pissing me off!!” She took her phone and scanned something. After a while, she showed us something, a ticket for her flight the day before I died. She’s telling the truth. “I did visit him earlier that day before my flight because I thought that I would never be coming back here and to think that he’s ill, makes me feel bad---” “Why would you?” “My family and he might have some fights but at least we have each other as
Dale’s POVAfter the dinner, we decided to stroll around the city. There are still number of vehicles since it’s still early. We sat in the park and watched people passing, talking, just doing their own business. “Thank you for making my night special” she broke the silence.“All for you” I simply replied with a smile, “I’m just curious…”“Hmm?”“Why didn’t you push me or are you not even mad that I kissed you?”“I wouldn’t be sitting next to you if I’m mad” she chuckled.She took a deep sigh, “when you kissed me, it just felt right”“I guess my timing was right. I have to take it slow for you but don’t confuse me with Zae…”[CHUCKLES]“You might actually fall for her and forget I exist in her” I added.It was a joke but she just blankly stared at me until she just broke a soft laugh.“Are you okay?”“Yeah! I’m definitely okay. Something just hit my mind. Should we head back now? It’s getting cold”“Sure” I walked on her side and as we approached the street, I was surprised that I h
Dale’s POV “Is there a problem?” “Huh?” “You’ve been snoozing out since you got here. Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?” Chelsea’s face is painted with concern. I noticed that she’d been wanting to ask me but hesitated to do so. “Yes. I’m okay” “Are you sure?” I smiled to her to give her assurances. I don’t want him to worry about me that much. “What if I never reincarnated?” Out of the blue, I asked her. She doesn’t look surprised at all. “Hmm… I guess I would be dead by now. Remember when I almost took my own life and you showed up? You just saved me” How can I ever forget that? I mustered the courage to tell her the truth because of that incident. “I would be very miserable, mourning and grieving in pain” She smiled after saying that. “You should be happy, even without me” The smile on her face faded instantly. “Will you leave me again?” I was silenced because that’s what will happen soon. It aches me just thinking of it. “What I mean is that your life won’t sto
Ken’s POVI got a text from one of our helpers telling me that Dad was reprimanding my brother and for whatever reason that is, I still don’t know. I had to leave Chelsea’s house and hurried back home because surely Kyle wouldn’t defend himself even if he knew he didn’t do anything wrong.Before I could get inside the house, I could hear Dad’s loud yelling at my brother. He sounded mad and the matter was quite serious.“Dad! Why are you yelling so loud?!” I casually asked before I could get close just to divert his attention and stop scolding my brother.“You’re here. Can you tell your twin brother to get his head straight and stop making stupid decisions!” he looks pissed.“What’s the matter?” I calmly asked.“He quit his job at the company just to pursue stupid fashion! He wants to show his real colors! I wouldn’t allow him to carry our name while pursuing that lame passion of his!!”“Dad, we can professionally talk about this matter, you just have to calm down first”While Kyle is
Dale’s POVI am on my way to my favorite go-to café to grab some espresso. I always drop here every morning before heading to the office just to get some good coffee to complete my day but lately, I wasn’t able to visit here since I reincarnated and stopped going to the office. I wonder how chaotic the company is right now because of my relatives who aim to get it. If I can only go there and settle everything before I’m totally gone.“Good morning, ma’am” the bodyguard greeted me. I smiled back before I entered the vicinity.The whole place looks very therapeutic because of it’s minimalist and clean design. This is what I like about this place, very calm and it gives me peace of mind.“Good morning. What can I offer you, ma’am?”“I like a cup of espresso”“Oh”She looked surprised when I told her my order.“It’s rare in our woman costumers to order espresso. They usually just order black coffee or latte”“Because it’s strong?”“Yeah, exactly” the bartender responded.I kind of get tha
Ken’s POV“Looking for something?” I asked.Zae was startled after hearing my voice from behind. Her face looks surprised to see me.“What are you doing here?” she asked.“I should be the one asking you that. Why are you hiding behind the wall? Spying someone?”“Me? As if”“Then what are you doing---”“I’m having coffee and by the way, why do you keep showing up everywhere? Can you just give me a day of break not seeing your annoying face?”“You mean my charming face?”“Stop flirting with me!”“Excuse me, you’re not even my type in the first place”“Likewise,”Tsk! I can’t even stand her how much more like her? Although I found her pretty the first day that I met her and wanted to hit on her but then eventually, I started to make fun of her and irritate her even more.“I’ll go with you”“No. I’m done having a coffee. Adios”Just like that, she dashed out. She was looking through the glass wall of a restaurant and there’s no one familiar that I can see… wait… I think there is.He’s the
Dale’s POV“You don’t have a lot of stuff”“The resort is still under construction so I will just have a site visit and a meeting with my client so we can talk about the design and everything else”“Are we not a nuisance to your work?”“No. Not really”“You never asked me before to come with you to any of your site visits or your work”I just realized that we were so out of each other’s careers. We barely asked each other anything related to work.“I know you were very busy and besides I have my team with me. You think you can come if ever I asked you to?”I couldn’t answer. She’s right. Even if she asked me before I would have declined because every day I was occupied with work. I am just lucky that I have an understanding girlfriend.“Let’s go”We just arrived at the airport and our flight is within thirty minutes.“Hey!”And here comes the devil. When will he be gone out of the picture?? I can never stand him.“I’m excited!! Shall we go?”“You can go first if you want. Oh! It’s boa
Dale’s POVI don’t feel good that’s why couldn’t keep up my mood and I acted cold. I couldn’t even send Chelsea home because she was worried about me. I don’t want to force it too because it will upset her.[Message Received]I got home safe. Ken sends me home. Take some rest and get betterI felt like my heart sank. Why would Ken have to be there everywhere? I can’t believe he would say those things to me.[Knocks]Hmm? Who would visit me here? What if that’s Zae’s mother and she forces me to go back in acting? What should I do??I should not answer. That’s right! I just have to pretend that I am not here so we won’t meet each other.“Zae, I know you are there I saw you went up. I need to talk to you”It was a man’s voice.“Who are you?” I asked.“You know who am I. Just open the door, please. You need to know something”I took a knife and hid my hand behind the door. I slowly open the door in case he causes harm.[GASPS]“You?!!”I am shocked to see the person behind the door. It wa
