I asked instead of eating the food served at our table.Anthony, Conrad's father looked at me intently."You can see him tonight if you want," he uttered then sliced the steak and took a bite."Dad," Conrad butted in as if he is against his father's idea."I talked to Thomas and he has no plan on running away so don't worry son," he assured then smiled at Conrad. I looked at Conrad and when he looked at me, I immediately look away."When do you plan to start your wedding preparation?"

Tears fell from my eyes while removing my sandals and after a while, it turns into loud sobs that fill the room."Why are you crying?" he asked but I didn't bother to look at him. My head remains bowed and after a while, I covered my face using my palm and continued crying."You finally realize your mistake?" he coldly asked once again and this time I lift my head and faced him with tears cascading down my face.I bet I look ugly because my make-up is ruined from all that crying but I don't care."I miss my life," I uttered while looking at him with my eyes filled with anger."Being with my friends made me realize that this isn't the life that I want.

When I am done I stepped out of the room and walked towards the kitchen.I saw Conrad's firm back and even though I already saw his bare back I can't help but be amazed at how well-built his muscles are."Good morning," he uttered after a while which made me jump a little. I thought he isn't aware that I am standing behind him but I guess I underestimated his senses.I swallowed hard then greeted back."Good morning," I responded then walked towards the refrigerator to get bottled water.I lean my back at the sink while drinking the water and stealing glances at Conrad. I choked when he caught me and our eyes met so I immediately look away and wipe some water that I had spit out. "Are you okay?" he asked
