All of Vincent’s dreams and emotions fell into a destructive swirl, leading him to the point of anguish from which there was no return. He had fallen from grace, from his own peak of love. The songs dissolved into nothingness, he fell into an abyss of no return.Whatever they had died in a bare heartbeat. Not only cheat but she shattered the future he began to dream of. All of it slipped and he couldn’t save anything and now it has become his stung.He couldn’t pretend nothing happened. He won’t let it slide. Her resentment towards what had passed was unjustified in his perspective and he would confront this matter.“Hey,” Vincent had called Annalise to his apartment for a date. He was not using it currently but since he was going to leave the work, he won’t have to obey his father and live back at home. “Hey.” She smiled, giving him a side hug before they sat down. “You hung our picture?” She asked, pointing at the photo frame hanging on the wall where Vincent was holding her sho
Living the longest one second of his life where his life choices, his choice to stay loyal to a disloyal reflect and outraged him. They began to recollect more fiercely to carve what was going to happen to their souls. She had experienced Vincent’s love. She will now witness Vincent’s hatred. “Vin-” “Shut the fuck up!” Liberating a searing scream of pain, he shut his eyes, punching the frame, the sound echoed in the hall. Shattering the glass as some shard pierced his skin also. Their photo fell on the ground, becoming the origin of the end of their love. “Stop, Vincent, What are you doing?!” Wheezing at his unpredictable action, she pushed him away, frightened after seeing his blood hand. “What is wrong with you?!” Her hands trembled but uncaring about his physical pain, he glared at her which halted her breaths, taking a step back, she held her shirt. "You stop. Why don't you drop this act?" Hissing, he grabbed her wrist, pulling her closer to probe further of this ter
ANNALISE. PRESENT ~ How can I burn your image without confessing I am a sinner? ~ Thinking about old times was stinging my chest. I couldn’t believe how much hatred Vincent had stacked inside his hollow heart. I know I deserve it but ruining himself along the way of revenge would gain him anything? But, I guess, I should have prepared myself for this horrible outcome. I am his sinner after all… "Elise? What happened?" Edmond called, dragging me out of my thoughts. I have begun to daze off recently. “You okay? Where are you lost?” He asked, perplexed at my lost self. Exhaling, I rubbed my temples, "Nothing." "Are you sure? You seemed to be lost in a daze." He inquired further, it was obvious on my face that something was bothering me. "Don't vex, Edmond. Everything is alright." Sighing, I forced out a smile, waving my hand off to shrug these thoughts off so I could focus on work. "If you say so." Humming, he pulled away. I didn’t want to remember the tale of yesterday.
Days passed and on Saturday, Victoria forcefully dragged me with her to the bar to catch up and I couldn’t tell her that I didn’t want to catch up. I cut contacts for betterment. I didn’t want to recall the past or anything. Being here was making me uncomfortable. I felt like a third wheel. Vincent and Victoria were sitting together, his hand was on her shoulder but since he sat in front of me, his malicious gaze was upon me. ‘Is that how much you hate me now? I think entering your life was a mistake after all. Is all this truly satisfying you, Vincent?-’ My thoughts were interrupted when Victoria called, snapping her fingers. “Elise? What happened? Where are you lost?” Blinking, I looked back up at him, shaking my head in denial. “Nothing.” Mumbling, I took a sip of my drink. Biting the inside of my cheek to contain my feelings. “Seriously, you have changed so much in these years.” She laughed a little, not believing it was me. “Time changes everyone.” I sighed, leaning ag
"Hey, Elise? How are things going? Is everything alright?" I received a call from Linda during Lunchtime. She frequently called me to know if everything was alright or not. She was among those few people who knew what happened. She knew, we all worked together after all. "Yes. Everything is alright. How are you, Linda?” I smiled, reassuring her. I didn’t want her to be vexed about me. "I am doing alright at the moment. Can't wait for the baby to come. Um… Is Boss treating you right? After what happened…" She asked worriedly. "Yeah. Don't worry about it. He was in my Mother’s debt after all. He couldn’t leave her in pain." I tried to tell her sweetly so she won’t take stress. "I see. Glad to hear it. Even if he does anything, just bear with it. It's just a matter of a few months then I will be back." She encouraged me to go on. Honestly, I don’t have another option. "I see. Anyways, I am working right now. Why don’t we catch up later?" I suggest happily. It would also ref
VINCENT ~ With your memories, I spend my nights ~ During Lunchtime, I noticed Annalise staring at me which made my heart raced, rendering me unable to talk to Jacey properly. Her eyes were inebriating me, I wanted to yell at her to stop it. I couldn’t look back into her eyes so I pretended I didn’t notice her. ‘Stop it, Don’t look at me.’ I was praying someone would come and break her gaze and thankfully Edmond came. I thought it would ease my cognition but it worsened when Annalise laughed with it and my jaw clenched, I couldn’t bear to stand there anymore. Furiously, I went to her cabin, waiting for her to return. I am glad her cabin was on the executive floor, away from others so they won’t pry. When she came, I turned to her, snickering, “Talking too happily, aren’t we?” “Sir?” Confused, she tilted her head but I was well past her facade. We both knew why this smirk was lingering on my face, hiding my scowl. “What were you guys talking about?” asking, I rested my hand
ANNALISE.I never want this to happen, I swear I never intend to reach this point. I thought my betrayal would pass like a phase but I became his perennial sting.What have I done?“I am sorry. Please forgive me. Please…” I continued to beg, hoping not to forgive but at least I could lessen his resentment and give him a new path in life.Staying where we lived would only hurt him. “Don’t cry, Annnalise. I… don’t have words for your consolation.” He whispered gently in my ears. Sobbing in his arms, I felt an unstoppable equanimity when he embraced me back, at his warmth. His arms were unfathomable.They blinded me to carve me, I wanted him to hold me like that. It was illicit but it felt heavenly. “I-” I opened my mouth to speak something but the worst case scenario became reality.What I prayed to never occur, happened at the most unwanted moment. I was in his arms and Victoria called us hesitantly.“Vincent?” Gasping, we both pulled away, my body froze with tears staying on my
VINCENT. A few days passed and it was the day of Auntie’s operation. And, even if I had taken an immoral step by using her condition to trap Annalise with me, my care for her is still the same. I prayed for her wellbeing, for her health badly. She showed me the love of a Mother, she showed me the affection of bonds, I am in her debt forever. I rushed to see her right after work and greeted the unwanted sight. "Sorry, I am late, I got stuck in traffic-" Stopping mid-sentence, I looked up and saw Edmond with Annalise. He was staying with her for consolation. He stood at the place which belonged to me and it envied me. "Ah, Vincent. You are finally here." Mr White called, at least he was reassured to see me. Lowering my gaze, I didn’t exchange further words and sat down. "Is Auntie in operation theater?" I asked hesitantly, back straightened followed by a stoic expression. "Yes. Let's pray it goes well." Mr White hummed, praying continuously for Auntie with tears in his e
