It was almost nine in the evening, and Nelson still hadn’t shown up—despite his promise to pick me up at Vianna May’s flower shop.

And yes, even if I was still upset with him, I couldn’t deny the worry slowly building up inside me. There was a dull ache in my chest. I knew it might seem petty, but after our misunderstanding, a simple promise like this meant more to me than I cared to admit.

“Hey, Dorry!” Vianna May nudged me, glancing down at her phone.

I gave her a small, tight smile as she sat beside me.

“Are you thinking about Nelson?” she asked with a teasing grin, though I could sense a bit of concern behind it.

I had already told her about our misunderstanding. What she didn’t know, however, was that there was a deeper reason why I was still hesitant to let Nelson back into my life.

“It’s getting late, Dorry,” she said softly. “It might be better to wait for Nelson at our house instead. Diego’s already waiting for me, and I’m sure Violy is tired, too. If Nelson doesn’t show up,

    DIEGO’S POVI stood up even though the boat hadn’t docked yet. I was too excited to see Dorry—the girl I was supposed to marry four years ago, but who never showed up.After all this time, I was finally going to see her again. I couldn't wait to slice her open and grill her like a fish. The moment the boat touched land, I jumped off. My eyes scanned the area, searching for Dorry.But now that I was off the boat, I figured I should find a place to stay first. I was exhausted. I’d just flown in from Canada, and now here I was, traveling again. A long bus ride to the port, nearly an hour on a boat through rough waters—no wonder I felt dizzy.“Excuse me, can I ask something?” I said to an older woman I passed. She didn’t answer right away—just looked me over from head to toe.“Looking for a place to stay?” she finally asked, still eyeing me.“Yes,” I nodded, glancing around.All I could see were cottages and nipa huts lining the shore.“You can stay at the resort over there,” she said, po

    DIEGOI left the country six months ago.I did it to forget—to let go of everything and never look back.But I failed. I couldn’t even keep the one promise I made to myself.Six months might not seem long to most people, But to me, it felt like six years—maybe even longer. That’s how heavy it’s been. Each day dragged on, pulling me deeper into a weight I couldn’t shake.I tried to move on. I tried to rebuild. But every time I stood up, I collapsed. No matter what I did, I stayed broken. And worse, I didn’t know how to fix myself. I didn’t even know where to start.I sighed and forced a bitter smile. Now I’m back. But why? For what? Truth is… I don’t really know.My mind’s a blank slate. No plans, no purpose. Just a gut feeling—this pull I couldn’t ignore.I closed my eyes for a moment before stepping off the plane, blending into the stream of passengers. Everyone else looked excited. Families rushing into each other’s arms. Lovers embracing. They all seemed to be running

    My eyes widened.Why did I call out that man’s name?He was the reason my life fell apart.No matter how many times I try to convince myself otherwise, I can't shake the thought that he was the reason Romeo turned into a monster that night—because of jealousy. Because of a misunderstanding.“That’s what I heard, Mia. Diego…” Nelson repeated, squinting at me.“No… You misheard. Die… ugh… Yeah, that’s what I said. I… I don’t know how to swim. I thought I might die from drowning,” I stammered, fumbling through my pathetic excuse.Nelson frowned, tilting his head as if trying to piece my words together.“Die… ugh. Yeah, I guess they do sound alike. Maybe I just misheard.” He scratched his head and shrugged.I pressed a hand against my chest, quietly sighing in relief. He bought it.“But Mia, I thought you said you were cold? Why are you sweating so much?” he asked, wiping a bead of sweat from my forehead.“Hah… It’s hot! My clothes are almost dry now. Stop talking so much and let’s go.”I

    I froze mid-step, my heart pounding wildly, my hands turning cold and clammy.“Dorry, I’ll go ahead,” I stammered before speed-walking away, not even waiting for her reply.By the time I reached the hut, I was sweating and restless. I quickly peeled off my diving suit—it felt like I was about to faint from the heat and tightness, not to mention the conversation I’d overheard earlier.Why? Of all the people in the world, why did Diego’s ex-fiancée have to be the one I crossed paths with on this island?What now? I couldn’t stay still—I kept pacing back and forth, my thoughts in chaos. What if Diego suddenly showed up here? What if they got dragged into my mess?I couldn’t let that happen. That’s exactly why I chose to run away— for the sake of the people I cared about. If avoiding Dorry was what it took to protect them, then I would do it. I’d leave this island if I had to.I had no idea what happened between them or why Dorry didn’t show up at their wedding. But I hoped that if they e

    I held my breath the moment I heard Dorry’s name. I froze in my seat, unable to even turn my head. I pulled my hat lower and kept my gaze down.But from the corner of my eye, I could still see Dorry standing and cheerfully greeting someone.“Take a seat, Danica!” she said, her voice full of excitement.“Thanks, Dorry. Sorry, I’m late—my husband got a little clingy,” Danica replied, equally cheerful.“It’s fine! Oh, by the way, this is my friend, Mia.”Danica offered her hand, and I shook it, still not daring to look up. My chest tightened with fear—what if she was that Danica? Diego’s cousin…“Mia, are you that hungry that you can’t take your eyes off the food?” Dorry teased.Only then did I realize I’d been staring at the dishes too hard.“Yeah… I’ve been starving for a while,” I said, eager to change the subject.“Sorry, Mia. Please, go ahead and eat,” Danica said kindly.Without another word, I started devouring the shrimp.“Are you seriously not going to take off your hat, Mia?!”

    I could still hear Romeo’s angry shouts as I jumped out the window. A cry tore from my throat when my back landed on something hard at the top of the garbage pile below.Despite the searing pain from the cuts and bruises, I forced myself to move. Eyes shut tight, I crawled away from the heap of trash.Tears, snot, and sweat mixed on my face, and I tasted the metallic tang of blood in my mouth. I sobbed uncontrollably, barely able to stand, but still, I pushed myself to walk.I wanted to run to the café and ask for help, but I didn’t want to drag my friends into this. Worse, Romeo might catch up with me if I dared go near the building.I walked away without looking back, ignoring the stabbing pain in my body. A crazy laugh escaped me when I spotted a taxi approaching.“Sir, please... police station!” I begged breathlessly as I scrambled inside. The driver didn’t ask questions; he drove off immediately.I cried harder, burying my face in my trembling hands. He stayed silent, eyes occasi
