LOGIN"Am I supposed to be happy hearing that?" I stared at him in disbelief. "Do you think that makes any of this okay?" My voice rose with every word.
"I swallowed my pride so many times for you. I humbled myself again and again just to talk to you, just to get you to listen. Yes, I regretted leaving you. I regretted everything. And if you remember correctly, I even followed and chased you all the way to the Capital but what did you do? You couldn't even spare me five minutes of your time.
"I want the whole world to know that you are mine and that I am yours. I want us to stand before God and promise each other that no matter what happens, no matter what challenges come our way, we will continue choosing one another every single day for the rest of our lives. I love you more than I could ever explain. You are my greatest happiness, my greatest blessing and my home. So please, marry this man and promote my status from being your boyfriend to becoming your husband."The ocean breeze stirred around us, carrying his words straight into my heart. My heart felt so full that it almost hurt. The happiness inside me was overwhelming. It poured through every part of my body until I thought I might burst from it.I had never expected this. Even though we had already agreed to stay together and build our family, marriage had never truly been something I focused on. After everything we had gone through, legal titles and formalities had seemed insignificant compared t
"I feel exactly the same," I whispered. My voice trembled."Every day feels brighter than the last. As long as I'm with you and Theodore, I don't need anything else and I'm so glad this is the life we chose." I said as I smiled through my tears.For a while, neither of us spoke again. The sun continued sinking lower toward the horizon. The sky blazed with color. Gold, orange, crimson and purple. It was one of the most beautiful sunsets I had ever seen. I became completely absorbed in it. So absorbed, in fact, that I barely noticed Theo gently squeezing my hand.At first, I thought nothing of it. Then I felt his finger moving slowly across my palm, tracing something. Curious, I remained quiet and pretended not to notice. Letter by letter, slowly and carefully.I concentrated on the movement of his fingertip. Trying to understand what he was writing. The realization came gradually. One letter then another until finally, the message became clear. " I love yo
That afternoon, Theo invited me to take a walk along the shore so we could watch the sunset together.I immediately agreed. Ever since I had first arrived in Pattaya, watching the sunset had become one of my favorite things to do. No matter how many times I saw it, I never grew tired of it.In fact, it was one of the main reasons I had chosen this beach house in the first place. The sunsets here were breathtaking. Every evening, the sky transformed into a masterpiece of gold, orange, pink, and violet, stretching endlessly above the sea. The sight always left me speechless, as though nature itself was painting something beautiful just for us.Theo and I walked side by side along the shoreline, our feet sinking lightly into the sand as the waves rolled gently onto the beach. Neither of us spoke. The silence between us was comfortable and peaceful. The only sounds were the rhythmic crashing of the waves and the distant cries of seabirds soaring above the water. The
Life continued moving forward and with every passing day, I found myself falling deeper in love with the simple life we had built. The beach house was peaceful, the ocean was calming, the air felt lighter andost importantly, there was no one around trying to interfere in our relationship. I felt truly free. I was especially grateful that Theo had chosen this life with us.In the beginning, I worried constantly. What if he regretted leaving everything behind? What if he missed his old life? What if one day he woke up and realized he had sacrificed too much?Those fears haunted me during our first few days in Thailand but as time passed, those worries slowly disappeared. Every morning I woke up beside him, every evening I watched him playing with Theodore, every night I saw the peace in his eyes, gradually, I realized something.Theo wasn't forcing himself to be happy. He genuinely was happy. I could see and feel it. The stress and pressure he had carried for year
After spending nearly two weeks in the country while Theo settled everything he needed to take care of, the day finally came for us to return to Pattaya, Thailand.Surprisingly, the transition felt natural. Almost as though we were finally returning home. One of the first things we did after arriving was check on the beach house where we had stayed before. To my delight, no one had rented it during our absence.The moment I saw the familiar white walls, the wide veranda, and the endless stretch of ocean beyond it, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. It was still ours. Or at least, it felt that way.Without hesitation, we rented it again. The place held so many memories for me. It was where I had learned how to survive on my own. Where I had carried my son and where Theo had finally found us again. Now, instead of being a place filled with loneliness and uncertainty, it had become a home filled with love.The first few weeks were incredibly busy. Espec

We covered so much more in those late-night talks. We planned to go jogging at the nearby park. We even set a day each week for grocery shopping together. By the time we finally drifted off to sleep, the sky was starting to lighten outside.I was grateful he'd been so thoughtful too. He knew I was s
Taking the loofah from my hand, he began to wash me himself. His movements were slow and deliberate, his touch gentle as he traced every curve of my body. I melted against him, my eyes drifting closed as I let myself be cared for completely.He worked his way down to my back, his fingers k
We'd been at it for hours and didn't even notice the sun going down or how late it had gotten. When I moved into this place earlier that day, I never imagined my first night here would end up like this. He was ravaging every inch of my bedroom, making sure I'd never forget what it feels like to be
"We can be ourselves here. We can show each other how we really feel, no holding back. I'm so happy, Elyssa. Are you happy too?" He turned me around to face him, his hands gentle on my shoulders.I smiled and leaned in a little closer. I looked right into his eyes. They were warm and full
