CLYDE has been burying himself with work, haunted by Zaria's cold and indifferent gaze. He still feels the shivers down his spine upon seeing her outside the hotel. May it be guilt, anger, or frustration… He was feeling it in every agonizing moment.

He fidgeted in his seat before finally breaking. He slammed his hands against the hard wood desk before standing up and grabbing his coat. People shifted in their seats as he walked passed.

“I'll be there soon,” he told someone over the phone.

    “We do not need to attend if you don’t want to.” Zaria turned around and saw Cronous wearing a dark navy blue suit, matching her navy mermaid dress filled with small rhinestones that shine when the light hits her body, with an open back that shows her slim figure, hugging onto her shape. She held his hand and squeezed it. “It’s alright. Being hidden just keeps the rumors hotter,” she answered. His body scanned the front of her dress, a low neckline that emphasizes the shape of her chest. “You look gorgeous. Your friend did a great job styling your dress,” he complimented and she blushed. Zaria looked in the mirror, her red hair stealing the scene. The navy blue makes her hair stand out even more, like water and flame. Cronous stood behind her and kissed her shoulder. “I really want to go with you,” he whispered. They’ve decided to go on separate times since rumors would only get worse if they were seen with each other. He was hesitant, but for her sake, he reluctantly agreed. “I’l

May it be guilt, anger, or frustration… He was feeling it in every agonizing moment. He fidgeted in his seat before finally breaking. He slammed his hands against the hard wood desk before standing up and grabbing his coat. People shifted in their seats as he walked passed. “I'll be there soon,” he told someone over the phone. By the time he arrived at the location, the park had already been cleared of guests apart from two. He walked slowly towards them, as they held a small dog on a leash. “It's been a while… Have you heard what your daughter has been doing lately?” They turned around to face Clyde. They forced a smile while the dog kept tugging on its leash.“Haven't seen your dog in a while, hmm?” He bent down and grabbed onto its leash. He looked up at the couple with a cold conniving smile. He lifted the dog by

    “It’s so great to have you back,” Zaria uttered with teary eyes as she hugged her long time friend, Dianne. After she returned to the country, the first thing she did was visit Zaria at the mansion.Dianne looked at the huge mansion. Despite entering, you still could not tell where the mansion ended. “So you still ended up with your first love, huh?” she said teasingly, a smile plastered across her face.“It’s a long story…” Zaria brushed her arm shyly.“When you told me you’re coming back, I was confused.” Zaria laughed slightly. She looked at her friend who she hadn't seen for a long time. She simply shrugged, tiredness evident from the bags under her eyes hidden by makeup.

    The ride home was silent, both of them didn’t talk until they reached home. Zaria could still picture Clyde’s shocked face upon seeing her outside the hotel. “Would you like to rest? I still need to do some paper works in my office,” he said and she nodded her head.“Sure, I’m going to take a bath anyways,” she answered as they parted ways after reaching upstairs. When she returned to her room, she sighed heavily at how their date unfolded. Exhausted, she grabbed her towel and headed to the bathroom.She looked at her reflection in the mirror and remembered the woman who had a close resemblance to her. “That lying son of a bitch,” she whispered in annoyance. She hopped in the shower to cool her head.“I’m glad I left him… What a douche.” There was a hint of

    “You’ve been acting so odd since yesterday,” Zaria told Cronous while they were in a car and he chuckled. He held her hand and kissed it gently before pulling into the parking lot of the restaurant he was taking her to dinner with. Zaria wore a blue mini-dress and heels while Cronous wore a white polo and blue pants. They were sitting outside where they could enjoy the view of the city. “Thank you for accepting my date invitation,” he said with a smile. “Of course… I heard from your secretary you were planning this for quite a while,” she answered and his smile dropped. “Some day I will get rid of him,” he joked and she slapped his hand. The only reason she found out was because Luca blurted it out earlier while fixing Cronous’ schedule. His phone buzzed and she saw that his wallpaper was them kissing in the rain from the photo that circulated online. “Why do you have that as your wallpaper?” she asked suspiciously while eyeing it. He looked at her and showed her the full screen.

    The lights inside the mansion were dim and there was a silence that was deafening. Cronous and Luca arrived in a haste. Everyone watched as he walked out of the event, and Luca’s phone was buzzing with calls and emails because of his boss’ sudden disappearance. Troubled, he was left in the living room of the mansion. “Please rest assured Mr. Fauler will not be pulling out his sponsorships. There was merely a… personal matter he needed to tend to,” he said over the phone. He sat on the couch and started working on the emails that were already overdue. “Mr. Fauler has his boundaries that is the reason why he pushed that woman away,” he explained on another call, concerned for the altercation that happened. Fearing people might twist it the wrong way, he immediately started addressing the issue. On the other side of the mansion, Cronous entered Zaria’s room and saw her sleeping on the bed. He let out a long sigh of relief as the muscles of his body softened upon seeing her resting wel

    The scent of roses filled the air as the breeze brushed against Zaria’s skin. She looked around in the garden, butterflies flying around and landing on the thorn-filled bed of roses. Her floor length white dress dragged on the green field, slightly shining from the sunshine. In a far distance, she
