(Catherine’s POV)
Weeks passed by so fast. After sending Winter to her final place, life continued as usual. It’s like how the sun sets and shines again. However, no matter how it repeats its rotation, it will never be the same again. Yesterday was different from today. While tomorrow is different from today. This is how our life continued after her death.
Even if we continued living, it felt different than before. There’s always emptiness in our hearts that we can’t fill. Since that day, I lost my passion as well. I lost my happiness and inspiration. I mostly stayed at home most of the time. I spent less time in the hospital, which greatly shocked my colleagues.
They knew me as someone who was passionate about my job. They knew me as someone who would rather work than sleep. So, it caused them to be confused about my actions. I can’t help it. I lost my will to continue to work hard. My sister is already dead, so what’s t
(Third Person’s POV)In the bustling streets in Capital City, a tall building is standing high. Inside the president’s office, located on the top floor of the building, a young man dressed in a black suit is sitting on his swivel chair. With his head nestled on the backrest, a pair of black eyes is looking in the glass window, overviewing the night sky that captures the whole city.With his tall height, this pale-skinned man has an authoritative feeling that surrounds his whole being. A particularly notable feature is his eyes, his dark eyes that make people tremble easily. His short, thick, light blonde hair perfectly complimented his face. He has an angular face with a pointed nose, well-defined cheekbones, and thin lips.This is the face of Alexander Lu, a pure devil with the face of an angel. He stands elegantly among others, despite his cold attitude. Something is enticing about him. Perhaps it’s his good looks, or perhaps it’s simpl
(Alexander’s POV)Another call came in after I ended the call with my grandfather. As I look at it, it’s the private investigator that I hired to look for that lady who saved me three years ago. “Any updates about the accident?”“We got some leads, sir. We finally managed to get the CCTV footage on that street on the day you had your accident. It's a bit hard to get that footage since that area was quite remote. According to the footage, before the ambulance came, a girl came to rescue you with a middle-aged man. We are guessing that he was a driver because of his uniform. We didn’t manage to get a clear image of that girl due to the weather on that day. However, we are sure that she is a doctor in City A.”“A doctor?” Curiosity filled my head as I listened to him. ‘What a nice coincidence. I got saved by a doctor.’“Yes sir. Based on the way she handled your injuries, we can
(Alexander’s POV) “Sir, as Chairman Lu instructed, your only schedule this afternoon is to attend the foundation ceremony at Capital University.” Secretary Lin mentioned as he scanned through his tablet. With my eyes focused on the laptop’s screen in front of me, I spoke. “How long would that ceremony last? I need to meet someone tonight.” “For the last few years, the ceremony has always ended around 8 in the evening.” I nodded my head and closed the laptop. Looking at the time, it was already 3 in the afternoon and the ceremony would start at 4 pm. “We should go over now, I don’t want to be late for that event.” Secretary Lin took the laptop after nodding. We walked out of the office and headed to the basement floor. He pressed the B1 button where the VIP’s cars were all parked. Waiting for the lift to reach the basement, I took my phone from my suit pocket and answered the call. “Yes, grandfather?” “Are you on the way now, Alexander?
(Michael’s POV)Sitting across the big LED TV in front of me, currently looking for channels that might pique my interest. I’m lounging here in my apartment since I don’t have many things to do at work.Besides, it’s the weekend anyway. Aside from current news trends and boring romance drama, nothing is really interesting, so it's best to turn it off.Suddenly, the doorbell rang in my apartment. ‘I’m not expecting anyone today? Is it my parents? No way!’I felt at ease to see that it was Alexander who was waiting outside, not my parents. I’ve been hiding from them for almost a year already. My family is from City A and I have 2 older brothers, which makes me the youngest in the family.My family has a very long history of doctors, even my older sister is a doctor herself.Opening the door, Alexander immediately entered and walked towards the living room without even saying a proper gre
(Monique’s POV)A knock on the door woke me up from my deep slumber. I tiredly opened my eyes and looked at the clock on the bedside table.The sun's rays slipping through the slightly opened curtains tell me that it’s already morning. Walking out of bed, I slowly walked towards the door and opened it.“Good morning, I have cooked breakfast already. Wash up, then come down.” Catherine said when the door opened.I nodded my head in a daze and walked back inside to wash up. Opening the closet, I picked up some of my comfortable clothes since it’s the weekend and I have no work today.In less than an hour, I managed to finish my morning routine and hurriedly went downstairs. I found Catherine at the dining table preparing the utensils. She raised her head when she felt my presence and pointed at the chair in front of her.I happily smiled and sat on the chair. The delicious smell of waffles and the fragrance of bla
(Monique's POV)After our quick shopping at the mall earlier, we proceeded home. It’s already 7 in the evening anyway. But, we had our dinner outside before going back to our apartment.On the way back, scenes of that day flashed through my mind. That night at the bar where I met that blue-eyed hooligan.Flashback…It was Monday night, around 7 in the evening. We finally wrapped up our work and decided to have fun in the bar. Earlier this morning, I had a photoshoot for a perfume brand. Ihave been the brand ambassador of this brand since a year ago. It’s a big company and they have branches all over the world. I was lucky enough to be chosen as their brand ambassador.On the way to the bar, I called Catherine and told her that I'd be going home late. I’m pretty sure that she’s already at home at this hour and busy doing her school files.I wanted to invite her over but changed my mind.
(Third Person's POV) Weeks have already passed since the incident happened during the Foundation Ceremony. Everything went back to normal. Catherine went back to the university to continue her class despite her fear of being seen by President Lu. She can't afford to lose this job and find another one, so she has to act as if nothing happened. Continuing her life like how it was used to be. Capital University is one of the top universities in Capital City. It is the school where prominent figures in the city graduated from. With it being the top university, its standards and requirements for acceptance are quite high. The school made a lot of effort into choosing their students and also their staff. The selection process is not limited to the students but also to their teaching personnel as well. All professors teaching at the university have a great background and professional experience. It was quite hard for Catherine to be accepted
(Catherine POV) Monique and I are currently in a salon getting our makeover. Later this evening, we are attending Angel’s Collection Annual Anniversary. Monique was their brand ambassador, so it was a must for her to attend. It just so happened that she needed a chaperone, so she called me over. I don’t even have any idea how she managed to convince me to attend this event. The fact that I don’t really like attending any social gatherings makes me wonder why I am attending this. Flashback… It’s already late in the evening. I’m currently working on the course materials for my class. We are having a field study next week and this must be submitted to the dean before it gets approved. So, finishing it tonight would be the best thing. Monique is still at work. She called earlier saying that she would be home late since fashion week is only a couple of months away. Her schedule has been pretty tight lately preparing
