Bonita had been cycling around the city for over three hours using a borrowed bicycle from one of Edith’s employees, where Edith’s butcher and fish shop was located. At the time, Edith was busy at her shop, hosting two marketing representatives from a major company who were pitching a business collaboration.

Bonita explored various bookstores, bakeries, ice cream parlors, and clothing shops. Her stomach was full from all the snacks she indulged in, and her heart felt slightly lightened. It had

  • Somebody That You Loved   Extra Part [2]

    Drenched in sweat and immersed in inescapable pleasure, Bonita and Benjamin lost track of everything happening outside the campervan. It was impossible to count how many times Jeremy had tried calling the newlyweds who had vanished from their own wedding reception. He had traveled halfway across the world to attend his sister's big day, only to find her once again behaving as she pleased."Let it go; leave them be. Nothing bad will happen," Melissa said in a calming tone, patting the back of their son, Julian, who was snuggled in her arms. "Even if something does, they’ll figure it out on their own."Jeremy glanced toward Edith, who was smiling quietly in a corner of the resort they had rented as accommodations while preparing for the wedding. After years of estrangement, the resentment he once harbored toward his mother was gradually fading."Edith doesn’t seem worried. Boo has proven herself capable of traveling the world without causing trouble.""That’s only because Benjamin is wi

  • Somebody That You Loved   Extra Part [1]

    A deep, passionate embrace unfolded between the newlyweds as they shared a kiss under an altar set near a mist-covered waterfall. Friends and family cheered joyfully, celebrating the union of two hearts that had journeyed for years across the world to finally find their way back to one another in love.Only a handful of guests were present amidst the cold mountain air, including the bride and groom. It was an unconventional choice of venue, but nothing could deter Bonita and Benjamin from tying the knot after a long relationship filled with uncertainties.The bride's gown and the groom's suit were outfits they had owned for years. The altar was decorated simply with flowers and local foliage, arranged lovingly by Velica and Melissa over several days. Meanwhile, the warm dishes on the table, still steaming, were prepared by David and Zayna.Benjamin broke the kiss and gazed lovingly at his wife, a satisfied smile lighting up his face. “Thank you for letting me spend the rest of my life

    "Stop it!" Bonita admonished sharply.Benjamin’s laughter echoed against the stone walls. He found most of Bonita’s written points reasonable, though a few struck him as utterly amusing. "Are you sure you want to know about that? You might get jealous.""I won’t get jealous as long as you’re honest with me. I’m not jealous of things that belong to the past.""Alright." Benjamin replied, taking Bonita's hand and guiding her to the sofa. His gaze softened as it settled on the woman who, to him, shone brighter than anything else in his world. "Just to clarify, does this mean I’m officially your boyfriend again?""As long as you fulfill all the points written on that paper ..., then yes."The kiss Benjamin placed on Bonita’s lips caught her completely off guard. Before she could think better of it, Benjamin cupped her face, pulling her closer as the kiss deepened into a gentle embrace.Having grown unused to such intimacy after so many years, Bonita tried to match his rhythm. Her arms fou

  • Somebody That You Loved   75. I Will Make It Grow

    "That’s true," Bonita said, her head bowed. She had thought about it countless times—the decision to call off the wedding wasn’t just about Mea. "I went looking for my mother on the day we were supposed to have our date—the day you met Mea. My mother told me everything about her relationship with my father. I did love you, but ... I thought maybe it would be better to rethink the foundation of my feelings. I wasn’t sure if my love for you was pure or if I was in love with the idea of falling in love, like my mother once was with Frans."Benjamin’s hopeful thoughts came crashing down. Though there was still a glimmer of hope, Bonita’s reason for ending their engagement left him feeling empty."To be honest, I doubted whether you truly loved me. Falling in love at first sight is something I’ve always found hard to believe. When I found out about Mea, I thought maybe you only loved me because I might remind you of her.""You two are completely different," Benjamin clarified, his voice pa

  • Somebody That You Loved   74. Prisoner

    All the windows in Tristan's family stone house were barred, forcing Bonita to give up on escaping. She had searched every corner of the house for an opening, but there was no way out. She even tried calling out for help to passersby through the windows, but they ignored her as if unwilling to risk getting involved in helping a prisoner.The crescent moon appeared quickly. Bonita chose to wait patiently for Tristan to return the next day, planning to confront him for locking her up with Benjamin—even though Tristan's words about food and the guest room were accurate.Benjamin had already showered and changed into clothes he found in the wardrobe. He asked Bonita to freshen up and change while he warmed the food in the fridge, but Bonita, too annoyed, refused when she saw that all the women's clothing in the wardrobe consisted solely of sexy nightgowns.Her diamond earrings and white lace dress still clung to her body as she lay on the bed. However, her leather boots had been removed a

    "Are you using the same method as when you chose Mea's favorite flowers for our wedding theme?" Bonita asked, her expression grim.Bonita's question froze Benjamin in place. He hadn’t expected her to remember the flowers or even care about them after all these years."I thought I made it clear that I refuse to be anyone’s replacement.""You were never anyone’s replacement, Boo.""Don’t!" Bonita snapped, her voice sharp as she pointed a trembling finger at Benjamin. "Don’t call me that! I will never allow you to call me that!""Alright," Benjamin replied, his voice steady. "Let me say it again so you understand. You were never anyone’s replacement, Bonita."A jolt coursed through Bonita's fingers as he said her name, and she quickly crossed her arms over her chest, shielding herself from the emotional attack threatening to reach her heart."Listen," Benjamin began. "I chose those flowers because my father once gave them to my mother, not because Mea liked them. How did you even think t

    Years ago, Mea's departure brought a sense of relief, even though Benjamin often felt her absence. Still, that feeling was somewhat alleviated because they remained connected through phone calls and messages.Being childhood friends had made Benjamin and Mea’s relationship resemble that of siblings

    Spending the entire night listening to Edith's stories left Bonita wide awake, her exhaustion and sleepiness dissipating. To her, talking to her mother felt like gossiping with Velica. When her mother had left her years ago, all she had known was the sense of being abandoned and unloved. But now, a

    "Bonita must have gone somewhere," Jeremy muttered."I saw her packing her suitcase this morning. I thought it was because she was going out with you. She said you two were going on a date," Melissa said, her gaze sharp as it landed on Benjamin, who was seated on the living room sofa. "She looked s
