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.
Serina was wearing a white cloth that covered her white cocktail dress beneath. She was staring at the glass door of the balcony, "This is it! The past bounced back to its original sequence. Then, what's the probability for this day to stick with what happened in the past? Perhaps, there would be a slim chance of altering an event? If it would follow the past, it means I can get a hold of events until I get that divorce." "I see. Talking to yourself was your style. Anyway, didn't I prohibit you from mentioning divorce until grandpa's last breath?" "Why are you here? You are not allowed to visit the bride's quarter before the actual matrimony," she uttered without looking at the door because Vincaster's voice is no longer a play hint to her; she knows his voice very well.
Psyche clapped her hand, and everyone did the same thing. Daniel initiated a picture taking, which everyone seconded. Serina exhaled a breath of calmness, as she knew it is just typical picture taking. In the past, nothing unusual happened before the reception. But all of a sudden, she suddenly felt a cold wind, tickling her nape with the thought that Vincaster might do something again defying what originally happened in the past, take for an example... that damn kiss. "say cheeseeeee!" ~click~ click~ ~Flash~ Several formal and wacky pictures were taken, which consisted of Serina's family and Daniel, Lucilla, and Vincaster's extended relativ
Vincaster noticed that Serina’s hand flinched when he glanced in her direction after talking to his grandpa. When his grandpa went back to the table to join the other attendees, he approached her to help his wife be at ease. He didn't exactly hear the whole conversation, but it seems like the woman whispered sh*ts on her wife. If not, Serina would not have acted anxious. Vincaster was upset when he saw Xavier in person, thus he kept reiterating who he was in her life even though it was a marriage for convenience. He had a bad feeling about how Xavier looked at his wife as if there was something unspoken behind those stares. They were seated at a long table that perfectly accommodated their attendance. The visitors were not aware of the tension between Vincaster and Xavier. The same goes for the awkward position bet
Psyche and Daniel came back to the table and noticed the chair of Vincaster was still empty, so they asked in chorus, “He isn’t back yet?” Serina laughed in disbelief and thought, 'How can a couple have a synchronized mind?' Serina suddenly recalled it was during this time when Vincaster returned with bruises on his cheek and a stain of blood on his lips. She stood up and was in haste to leave the reception. Everyone was surprised by Serina's behavior, but they only shrugged their shoulders and continued with the meal. "He probably had a fistfight, and I won't let that happen this time. Back then, grandpa fainted seeing Vincaster covered with bruises and blood," she mouthed to herself wh
Serina was staring at the tissue where Xavier’s number was written, she got it after the reception. Xavier secretly passed it to her, and fortunately, no one noticed, or else, it would start chaos."It wouldn't hurt me if I contact Xavier, besides I want to talk to him too," she said after sending him a message.She sighed and murmured, "I'm glad the present is not chaotic as it was in the past."She threw herself on the bed, then rolled over on a soft bed. Then, she stood up on top of the bed while screaming, "Finally!"Finally, she doesn't need to sleep in one bed with Vincaster since the chairman had moved out earlier. The chairman's room becomes Serina's room.
Serina went straight to Vincaster's room and knocked on his door. "You piece of shit, asshole, freaking dog! Open the door."She kept on banging his door with her little fist, yet her husband was too stubborn to talk with her."Tsk! That bastard. I guess I have to sleep for now. He won't leave this house without explaining what string he pulled this time to stalk me."She went to her room and took a bath after. Serina can't help but listen if Vincaster's door would open. She sighed and gave up her idea of waiting for her husband to leave his room."Did I overreact? Was it a petty move? Am I making a huge fuss just because he seems to be monitoring me?" She was staring at the left side of the bed.
Vincaster came home late. He glanced at the coffee table and found Serina sleeping while holding her pen and ongoing dissertation."Such a hard-working wife. I see you are aiming for a higher position," he dropped his suitcase on the sofa. He patted her hair and saved Serina's work before shutting down the laptop.He was staring at Serina while saying, "I'm sorry for invading your privacy. I only want to make sure that nothing bad happens to you.""Your neck would be in pain if you keep sleeping in that position." He carried Serina to her room, and he threw one last glance before going to his room.He stared at the ceiling and wondered how to approach Serina when the sun replaced the moon.
