A simple and romantic dinner welcomed the two after entering Kaizer’s room’s balcony. Lauren could only shake her head and smile while looking at the decoration on the balcony.“Aren’t you being too competitive?” Lauren teasingly commented about the setup of the table. Earlier, while walking on their way to the cabin suite, Lauren suddenly remembered the dinner arrangement they talked about. She didn't doll herself up and just keep it simple because she thought that they would only have dinner at the dining hall or in one of the restaurants on the cruise ship. That's why she did not expect this kind of setup. Never in her life has she experienced the things in front of her right now. Who would take a risk to do that for her… right?One more thing, she doesn't have that much leisure time to spend on such things. She is too busy thinking about how her life is gonna survive every day.However, like any other girl, Lauren also wanted to experience romantic things with the one she loves.
Lauren was peacefully sleeping when she woke up from the loud knock on the door. She drowsily opens her eyes, then looks at the clock on her bedside table. It's already eight in the morning. It means that she overslept.All she could do was blame herself for not being able to wake up from the alarm clock. She was exhausted last night from work because there are many people who need to be accommodated in her workplace. In the end all of them work overtime because of that.“Lauren! You bitch, open this damn door!"Hazel continues to knock and shout in front of her room. Hearing this, Lauren quickly got up.Her hair that almost reached her waist, was in a mess as she doesn’t have the time to comb it. Wearing her old pajamas, she lazily opens the door. "What do you want?" Lauren nonchalantly asks her sister.She had no idea what Hazel’s problem was again, right now. Besides, she also doesn’t have time to accommodate whatever it is. It must be ano
After the confrontation, Stella and Fernand leave the room. Disappointment was seen in Fernand’s eyes, while there was a sly smirk on Stella’s lips when she turned around. The mother and daughter pair surely planned this all along. They make sure she can't retaliate against them.Only Hazel and Lauren were left inside the room.Hazel smiles triumphantly. She slowly walked towards Lauren – who's crying right now. She even mimics Lauren's cry and acts as if she's wiping her tears.“Tsk. You really look pitiful right now.” A wicked smile clearly showed on her face. “You will never win against me. Don't you know that?"Lauren glared at her. "Are you happy now? You destroy my reputation in front of our father."“Duh, of course! Dad doesn’t even care and believe you anymore. And soon, you will be kicked out of this house! But too bad... you’re not yet destroyed to the point you can't stand on your feet." Hazel laughed, then grabbed Lauren's hair. “If you
Minutes have passed and all that's left in the room was Lauren. She’s still sitting and crying on the floor. She's used to that kind of scenario, but she doesn't know why the hell she is crying right now. Maybe because her father won't believe her anymore or is it because she realizes that from the very beginning, she doesn't have someone to rely on.Her stepmother and sister were always scheming behind her back and she always falls for it. She’s too weak to retaliate, and she’s too kind to plot and scheme back on them. Because above everything that they have done to her, Lauren is still believing that someday… they will change.Lauren sighs. It’s too late… too late for her to realize that it won’t happen.She stood up and composed herself. Why would you cry on something that is not worthy of your tears? She scolds herself for being weak at that moment.Lauren wiped her tears, then she looked around at that messy room. From today onwards, she’s goin
Theo turned around to face Hazel and held the girl's hands.Concern was written all over his face.Hazel bit her lower lip, she knows that Theo only cares for Lauren as a little sister, but she can't help it. Her sister is beautiful and she's jealous of Lauren. She's able to get the man's attention without exerting any effort.“We all know how hard-working Lauren is. Therefore Hazel, as her sister you should remind her to rest." Theo reminded her.“You know babe, I always talk to her about it, but she's hard-headed. She doesn't listen to me anymore. I don't know what to do with her. Our parents were also worried about her." Theo knows how worried Hazel is for her sister. "Maybe you need to talk to her again. Persuade her, maybe this time she will understand you. And if she's not still listening, I'm the one who will talk to her about it. I don't want you stressing yourself over a small thing." Theo hugged Hazel for her to calm down. She unconsciously tightens
Lauren was so focused on her work that she didn’t mind what was happening around her.The moment she looked at the entrance, shock was written on Lauren's face. It was Hazel. Greeting the other guest as she entered the venue.Lauren was nervous as hell! If her sister knows that she’s there, Hazel for sure would do anything to embarrass her. It’s because she loves seeing her have a hard time.They didn’t know that she was working and even if she was working or not… they don’t care. They assume that she’s living her best life, partying… going somewhere… and creating problems. But it is still different if her sister finds out that she’s working there.Thus, she was sure that if Hazel saw her right now, she would tell it to their parent. And if that happens, she might even lose her job. Like what she did a few years ago.Lauren quickly retreated, and because she was in a panic, she didn't notice the person at her back. She almost lost
Lauren makes a trip to the top deck after she finishes organizing the luggage to her designated cabin. She only brought a handbag and one suitcase that had enough clothes for her during a one-week trip on the cruise ship.Soon enough, the cruise ship set sail.Lauren tucked some stray hair behind her ears and stared at the sea. Watching the fiery sun moving towards the sea. The sky horizon turned into a brilliant blue, consisting of mixed colors of red, orange, and yellow. The breeze hummed in silence and in harmony with the waves that gently hit the cruise ship. The waters below reflect the breathtaking scenery.Lauren silently admires the scene as her hair sways as if it’s going with the flow of the wind. She felt a sudden ease in her mind and body. These past few days she felt empty inside, but as soon as she stepped on this ship… the exhaustion she felt was gone like a bubble that popped into the air. In contrast to what she felt in their house, the
The woman could only look at the couple who were whispering with each other in front of her. Her gaze trailed off to Kaizer’s hand that was holding Lauren’s waist. By looking at them you can see how well their chemistry was with each other. They suit each other. “I don’t even know you and I don’t want to meddle in your problem.” Lauren firmly said in a whisper. She took a vacation to get away from the problem even for a moment, but who would have thought that in less than a day… Seriously? She was only there for a few hours but there was already a problem. It seems luck wasn't in her life. “Just this one miss. I promise I will pay you back. Anything you want in return for your help." Kaizer whispered back to Lauren. Kaizer doesn't even want to ask for help from others, but in his current circumstances, he has no choice. He noticed a while ago that the woman has no interest in him and it was a sign for him to ask f
