Chapter 26
One hour or two, I'm not really certain how long I have been waiting at the sand in utter fear. The night only got darker and what alarmed me was the sudden change of the waves' movement. The wind blew colder too, making me tremble in my thin sleeveless top.
Florian's gentle kisses flashed in my head. How he caresses me softly last night and how we cuddled me in his arms was etched bitterly in my mind. I couldn't help but think it could be the last time I'd be able to touch him like that. My heart ached painfully at that thought.
How I could I not notice? I wasn't even aware of his absence while I was peacefully working out at home? Why has nobody suspected their missing presence? They should've been here before afternoon but nobody actually noticed? Everyone just got alarmed after the sunset?
I expelled a deep frustrated sigh. When I heard something on the water, my head immediately turned up to look for that noise. My eyes widened whe

Although, I admonished him again for wanting to attend his shift at the inn today, he was firmed with his decision to go out and work. I still am worried after what happened yesterday. His sunburns looked pretty bad and I am not comfortable that he'll be working in that condition."I've been absent for a straight two-day, Nina. My salary deduction won't fit for the next days anymore if I won't attend my shift today," he reasoned out and I frowned deeply at him.I wanted to say that he doesn't need to worry that much about money anymore since I already got a high-paying job, but I feel like it'll be offensive to him. Knowing Florian, he's pretty much prideful and he has such a strong sense of obligation in our home. He enjoys paying the bill and the groceries. Sometimes, I even felt like he wanted to protest when I'm handing my share as if we didn't had an agreement about it before.One of these days, I'll put a sash over his chest to acknowledge hi

After a short briefing with Andrew about his job, he finally left the café while I proceeded to entertain the other applicants.On the other hand, Regina and Agatha has yet to show up together in my office. I wonder what's keeping them busy upstairs?"Thank you so much, Miss Nina. I'll do my best in this job! I swear, you won't regret choosing me!"I laughed at the final applicant who completed the staff list. Ella is nineteen years old and she's the youngest among us. She's a working student, she mentioned that her parents already passed away and her grandmother is the only family left to her. Somehow, I remember my life in her."I'll expect that, then. But still, I want you to prioritize your study first. Send me a copy of your class schedule so we can do something about your work shift here."Ella nodded quickly. She seemed to be pretty clumsy and I got a little bothered for our kitchen utensils. Maybe the

I have a bad feeling about it.Few steps away from the house, I saw how people were crowding in front of our veranda. My heart thumped nervously as my thoughts immediately flew to Florian. Did something bad happened to him again?I hurriedly ran towards them, Andrew and Dea was one of the faces I recognized from the crowd. Their heads turned to me in panic before they ran to meet me halfway."Nina!""W-what's happening?" I stuttered nervously. Dea got into me first, she held my forearm with shaky hands."J-jack... Jack was sent to the hospital!""What? W-what the hell happened?!"I reflexively move back out of the pathway, the rest of them followed. Did he hurt his head again and fainted after getting his memories triggered? This has happened multiple times already but the fear in my chest stays the same. In fact, it always feels like the first time!"His head was bleeding-""What?!"

The nurse at the cashier had a bizarre look on her face while Florian and I stood there on the counter, waiting for the total computation of our bill.Florian insisted so hard to leave the hospital first thing in the morning. He really couldn't stay on his bed for too long, just laying and not doing anything productive to consume his day. Since he's firm about it, we left after lunch.The nurse scanned the monitor again before giving us a puzzled look. "Uh... it says here that your bill has been fully paid.""Huh?" I gasped, leaning towards the counter to peek at her monitor. It was a futile move though because of the huge glass wall dividing us."It's already paid since yesterday," she repeated.I inwardly rolled my eyes. Cassandra... that girl! I thought we already had an agreement about this matter but she still sneaked behind my back and paid for it anyway."A-alright, thanks..." I grabbed Florian's arm as

"I'll text you the details to my secret and private account. We cannot touch my main bank since they'll be able to trace me. I needed to be discreet about this for the meant time."I silently tiptoed towards the door, trying so hard to hear a bit of his convo with the mystery man called 'Gaston'. What could be his relationship with that guy? I'm so curious! I wish I am brave enough to ask him questions."Alright. I'll be expecting the money as soon as possible," he paused before I heard inaudible noises from the other line. "Thank you so much, Gaston. I'll call you again tomorrow or the next day..."I reflexively took a step back and pretended I've been sitting at the couch this whole time. Florian walked in with an unreadable expression on his face. He looked hard and stern, embodying the 'almost' CEO had an accident didn't happen in his life.Just imagining him wearing an all-black corporate suit while sitting in his office on top of the h

The relentless east wind grew colder as it whipped past my face, distracting me away from my deep thoughts about Florian's departure. I heard him sighed beside me. When I glanced at him, I also caught him staring down at me.I bravely looked back as I let my eyes wander around his facial features. His striking green eyes, which are my most favorite part of his face. His prominent and proud nose that enhances his manliness. The thick eyebrows, his soft and natural rosy lips, and his well-defined jawline. Everything about him is just perfect.He held my chin as his face leaned closer towards me. His hot breath fanned over my face, sending tingles all over my body. I scooted closer, eager to close the remaining gap between us.I sighed in anticipation. Finally, his soft lips crashed into mine. My mouth parted willingly for him, giving his tongue an access inside my mouth. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me.&n

I looked at Florian in slight confusion when we stopped by at the waiting shed. He let go of my hand as we sauntered under the roof of the empty bus stop.“Sorry, can I borrow your phone for a bit? I just need to call my assistant for an update,” he said and I nodded in understanding before handing my phone to his waiting hand. I scooted a little farther to give him privacy.So Gaston is an assistant, huh? Is he like a secretary from their company? Like an executive assistant? Interesting.“Hello, Gaston…” his tone switched to being formal and stern. “Have you called the bank yet? I need an immediate access today… Alright, thank you so much. I’ll call again tomorrow. I need to go back home as soon as possible.”My heart sunk again as I mentally rolled my eyes at him. Why'd he have to mention that in front of me? As much as possible, I do not want to talk about his departure anymore. It'

"Florian! Are you serious?" I gasped in shock after seeing the many paper bags scattered all over our living room. I just got home that afternoon from the café. Ma'am Elizabeth stopped by at the shop today to check up on us. I had to remove Florian's name at the staff list immediately and instructed the guard to post the hiring poster again. We have yet to find a replacement for him. Florian quickly rushed towards me. I gawked at him after I noticed he's only wearing an apron without his shirt on! His biceps and chest were popping sensually! "What are these?" I gestured at the paper bags occupying half of our living room. Some of the logos plastered on them are familiar brands of expensive products I usually see on television! He smiled curtly at me. "I went shopping while you're gone for work. I bought you some dress and shoes, you can them out." I mentally face-palmed. Just how much did he spent on these? I d
