Steph hurried on looking for an establishment near the street after she withdraw sum of money.She didn’t wants to think or guess what’s happening for she wants to know the truth badly. She dares to know the truth and get hurt than to pretend blind.She begs to the shopkeeper to let her see the surveillance camera after reaching the establishment near the street. The shopkeeper finally let her review the footage of the surveillance camera, she thanked the owner after getting what she wants.She didn’t mistaken it for she witnessed the truth, she can prove that the vehicle she saw was owned by her husband and the woman sitting next to him was Elise.She choose to pretend not affected seeing the truth although her heart is broken into pieces.“Thank you, sir. I’m sorry for disturbing your work,” she respectfully apologize to the owner.“No worries, madam,” the old man replied.She stride out from the shop of phone, she finally awake and knew that the two has a relationship, she clenched
Steph got worried when he uttered those words to her. She badly wants to forget all the things she says about him but she can’t think of a good scapegoat to let him forget about it.She was astounded and can’t move from the place she is standing, she can’t calm herself though she’s not feeling good and her heart is covered with anger and guilt and the moment. She knew that she was wrong in approaching him but she can’t do anything…Caspian take another step closer to her and talks seriously at her as if they are the only people inside their place.His sight were set only on his wife while Steph can’t look straight at him as if she was the one who did a mistake.“Did you just… fall in love with me? Is it the reason why you are getting jealous to Elise?” he frankly asked her, he thought that she doesn’t have the courage to confess her feelings for him.“Yes, you’re right! I admit that I am falling for you and I am jealous because you only care for that girl! I think… I already love you,
“Caspian’s POV”My whole place suddenly become quiet and peaceful when she left, I can say that I am enjoying having this kind of environment. It has been so long since I experienced it and I missed it but as the time passes by, I am being brought back from the reality that my wife left me and I was slowly being covered with sadness. I don’t know why am I feeling this way but I misses her whole presence.“What are you thinking, bro?” I heard Elise asked. Elise is 20years old, the daughter of my former commandant that I admired for his bravery and his love for the country; I still remember how her motivates me every time when I will feel bad, he was there during my lows so I can’t let my wife to drive his daughter away from this house.I came to my senses hearing her query, “I am just worried at my wife,” I confess my feelings. “You don’t need to worry to her, bro. I believe that wherever she is, she is doing fine and one more thing she’s a grown up so I think nothing bad will happen
Caspian brought his wife in the headquarters for he can’t force her to bring her home. He quietly watches his wife who is sleeping soundly, he took a blanket from the cabinet and drapes it over her body but she keeps on removing it from her body.His attention were placed on her arm that has a bruise till he realized that he is the reason why she have it and felt guilty about it.He touches it carefully and look at it, he lightly massage it but she seems to be getting hurt for her brows are frowning.“P—painful…” she complains.Caspian stops from doing it and rakes her hair, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he wanted to kiss her forehead but he stopped.He came out from his room and annoyed at himself, he raised his head to watch the stars from above.“I must have stop myself from falling for her or I shouldn’t be weak enough to face her because she can’t accept it if ever I had gone into her life,” he sighed.“Buddy!” he heard his friend shouted making his attention to casted
Everyone was taken aback after Caspian announced his relationship with Steph to the trainees.Caspian held her hand tightly while waiting for the cadets to confess their mistake and apologize for messing with his wife.The cadets seems to be stubborn, no one dares to admit their mistake, “I am giving you time to come forward and apologize for your wrongdoings to my wife!” he strictly announced.After a long period of encouraging them to admit it, finally, they decided to apologize to his wife.Caspian place his arms around Steph’s shoulder leaving the trainees. “Darling, let’s talk?” he nicely says.“What do we need to talk about?” she coldly asked him.“I want us to talk about Elise. She will temporarily stay in our place,” he explained.Caspian piques her attention hearing the word temporarily, “what does he meant in staying in our place temporarily? Is he planning to… No!” she told herself.“Okay, let’s talk,” she coldly uttered while giving him a cold stare.“But before we talk ab
“I am just kidding. You don’t need to answer my question because I don’t want to hurt my feelings continually at I know the place where I could stand,” she bitterly uttered forcing herself to smile.Caspian’s face suddenly covered with sadness as it gets dark, he doesn’t know what kind of comforting words he can say to her as Steph didn’t know why is he reacting this way, “he should be happy with what he heard, should I assume that he feels sad? But that was not possible…” she said to herself.“Th—en… It’s settled?” Caspian reassure.“No…” Steph rejects his negotiation.He looks at his wife’s expression as if he is questioning her but she didn’t explain what is running in her mind, and with that, he decided to ask her, what do you mean by that?”She stared into his eyes and asks, “how long is she planning to stay?”“I have no idea,” he seriously uttered.She raised to her seat for he let her in their house without any plan of how long she should stay, “you should know and I should kno
“Steph’s POV”“Wait for me, I’m coming home,” that’s the only words I heard from him before I turns my back from him as if I didn’t heard him say any because I don’t want to let him see my reaction; I don’t want to see him that I’m happy for he’s willing to spend Christmas with me.I was surprised when the crew helps me to carry the grocery I bought and accompanied me inside the elevator, ‘thank you!’ I told them before the door slides close.“No worries. It is my apology because of the things I said about your husband and your new house tenant,” the man with a very soft movement apologetically mentioned. I smiled at them and nodded before the elevator finally moves up. I wasn’t planning to go back in this place, I was expecting to spend my Christmas with my family but since he insisted me to go back then I am willing to do so.I want to blame myself for being soft hearted specially when it’s about his request, I don’t want to be like this but once he is standing in front of me, I fe
“Is it taste good?” Elise asked Caspian after tasting the dish she made.“It’s good,” he said. Caspian seems like he doesn’t want to taste the food that Stephanie prepared for him, he know how awful it taste but he saw her hopeful reaction. He didn’t want her to disappoint her so he sliced a small portion of meat and slowly move it closer to his mouth while praying not to feel bad after eating the food she made.“Taste it. I know it’s your favorite,” she encouraged him as she gave him a sweetest smile. Caspian forced to smile at his wife because it isn’t his favorite, he tried to make her believe he enjoys tasting it. He also wants to reprimand her for breaking the rule he set in the house but he just let it pass since it’s Christmas day. The ladies watches him as he eats the food that Stephanie cooked for him and waiting patiently for his comment about it.“I am sure that tasted awful, my cooking is better than hers. Look at the appearance of that, full of soup!” Elise told to herse
