Serina was having a little chit-chat with Psyche through the phone while taking the path to the faculty office.
"I have no classes to teach today. What time are you free, so I could drop by and treat you to a coffee shop," says Psyche.
"I have classes from ten in the morning until two in the afternoon. Then my break time would start from two in the afternoon until six in the evening. You can meet me from two in the afternoon onwards."
"Alright, see you later."
Serina slid her phone into her pocket and was about to enter the faculty room but hearing a conversation from her co-faculty made her stand frozen outside the room. Serina gulped and felt uncomfortable hearing people talk about her husband.
Serina stretched her hands and legs, then she rolled over the bed. "I forgot the feeling of how nice it was living alone in a big house like this. What did I do in the past during his business venture? I have two months before that jerk comes back here," she said, but her triumphant feeling had faded as the memory from her past haunted her."The wedding ceremony will commence one day after his venture is over... then the next month will be the beginning of my downfall," she murmured while biting the blanket."I should be more careful not to fall for him in the succeeding months. I died because my one-sided love blinded me back then, I lost my reasoning, and my head was clouded with jealousy and the feeling of broken-heartedness. All I have to do is not fall in love with him. Although, there have been a few alterations f
"What a bright day to start knowing that I have another month to wake up without seeing that bastard's face," she uttered while waiting to arrive at LV academy.It has been a month since Vincaster went out of town. She was confident that Vincaster would be back next month since nothing changed in the present, aside from that on the day she altered. What happened in the past during her husband's absence repeated in the present, so she concluded that Vincaster would not be back these days; Because in the past, it took two months before he came back.Serina was grateful that no disaster or humiliating event had happened when she brought her in-law to her family. At first, she was afraid of the consequence since she knew her family had not approved of Vincaster yet, because if they approved of him, they could have asked her
'He's supposed to be coming home next month!' her mind was roaring loud, but she needed to control her mouth before thoughts slipped out."I cut the introduction. You guys know who these guys are. I am friends with Daniel," Psyche interrupted, but Serina's mind was wandering off.'So what will happen in the future?'Serina thought since she traveled back in time, she would have a better picture of the entire happenings for the whole year, but the thing is, her mind is quite confused now because the timeline had messed up.When is the better day to divorce him then? What if she died earlier than she had foreseen? Those are just a few of her concerns.'
Serina silently went back to her seat. Then, Vincaster followed only to excuse himself."I have to go now. It's nice having lunch with you. Keep being dedicated to your profession," says Vincaster as he lightly taps the top of the table."Sir, what happened to your hand?" Psyche asked."Don't mind it. A wild dog bit me outside.""Dog? But it looks human-made," says Gregory."Stop asking our employer. You are hindering him. Just let him leave since he is the busy type of person and a mere employee like us is way out of his league, so stop talking to him casually."Vincaster glared at Serina with his
"Answer me, or I'll kiss you?" he added, which caught Serina by surprise.Serina catches her breath and dares not to close her eyes as Vincaster's lips almost touch hers, but they both jolted when the car behind them hit the buzzer."J-just focus on the driving wheel and the road." She pushed him before turning her back. She'll rather face the window and city light than see her naughty husband.She was watching the cars and street lights when she noticed that..."Hey, we have passed our unit. Where are we heading?""I know.""So, where are we going? You should tell me where you are dragging me. I have all the rights to know, yah hear me?"
Vincaster kissed Serina's head, and she couldn't help but cringe. She tried to hide how disgusted she was by flaunting a fake smile and fake giggles."Seems like I misjudged your character, but I still think my daughter do not deserves a guy like you. We have nothing to give. We can't even afford her wedding gown," says Samira, mother of Serina."I still can't believe my little sister married a wealthy guy. Are you sure my sister did not blackmail you or what?"Vincaster responded through a laugh. On the other hand, Serina was grilling her brother with a death glare. "I told you my charm and beauty is fatal. Now you believe me?""This guy fell in love with me at first sight," she added while grabbing her
The wind from the balcony, however, Vincaster didn't mind it. He chose to stay and stare at the stars. He sipped a cup of cappuccino while browsing his phone and searching Xavier’s social media account. “He looked like a squid. What did Serina like about him anyway? I am handsome and rich compared to this squid, but why does she hate me too much? What exactly is her ideal type?” he murmured. He recalled what happened in the bar, and the stars witnessed how he smirked before saying, “She got wasted on that day because of this plankton creature?" Meanwhile, Serina entered the room and saw her husband laughing on the balcony. She shook her head and mumbled, “He is such a lunatic. What the hell is he doing on the balcony anyway?”
It has been one week since Vincaster left for a sudden problem in the branch of LV, in the provincial area. "It's a good thing that he left because I can't handle his moods and his sudden outburst of naughtiness," she murmured. The actual wedding ceremony is nearly approaching. Serina thought that once the original order bounced back. Then, she'll no longer have to endure unforeseen events such as Vincaster being naughty out of nowhere. In the past, he never showed his naughty side. He only sends a vibe of a doting husband by sending her to luxurious places, which of course, she somewhat knew was a part of their drama. Yet during those times, she saw his actions in a different light. Thus it gave her false hope, a mixed-signal.
