“I'm going back to New Jersey and ask my mother everything I should know,” I said in full determination.
I know it’s important to charge the Spencers family with everything they did to me, to Noah, to Blade, and family.
But, compared to my dilemmas, Maybe it would be better to choose to build myself first. How can someone as weak as I wrecked a fully established family.
I have to go back to my mother because she knows better every reason why she took me away. I don't want to think that she once again ruined my life.
I want to be mad with her.
But I can’t do it because I know she has reasons.
I know I said then that I would not return to New Jersey without having succeeded here in Denmark. But, I think I did become successful in finding my own treasure. I found a family here that can also be the reason for my return to New Jersey.
“I'm going with you.”
Noah brought me back to reality. I was stunne
“Wake up sleepy head. It’s past 3 pm in the afternoon. You haven’t eaten anything yet.” I heard someone’s voice along with the gentle jiggling of my body. I howled as I tried to pull back the blanket that is being snatched from me now. “Crystal… come on, wake up...” “Hmm… I don’t-” Wait a second, isn’t that Liam’s voice? Oh my god, Crystal… “Hey, come on, get up. You have to at least eat something.” Liam forcefully snatches from me the blanket that covers my face. I didn’t want to let it go because it is so embarrassing. Did I really sleep in Liam’s room? For real? And what did he say? It’s already past 3 pm in the afternoon? The heck? “Hey… seriously. You might get sick if you won’t have something to eat.” Liam uttered in a hushed tone. I felt a hand grab my head and it gently lifted me up. Liam removed the blanket that covered my face as he stared into my
“You’re going back home?” Liam asked and it was as if I had just heard his voice like this. “Yes, I have to talk with my mom about the whole truth. Why did she take me away from Noah and his- our dad… ” When Liam suddenly got up from his seat my eyebrow furrowed. “What’s wrong? Why are you so jittery? ” “Before you go back to New Jersey. I have to show you something, and you have to trust me. ” He said as if he was restless. “I don’t think I can trust you again Liam.’ I said at the back of my head. “What will you show me? Is it that important? Because Noah and I have to leave tomorrow morning to go back to New Jersey.” I'm also confused because of Liam's rage. What is going on and is he suddenly like this? That he seemed excited or he just had a worm in his stomach. “Just come along with me,” he said as he grabbed my hand and dragged me outside. I tried to control his wa
“You're not kidding, we're really going to ride a speed boat…” I am at lost as I am staring at the sea. “Why would I lie to you?” I looked down when I felt Liam hold my hand slowly. I looked up to see him but he was just smiling and waiting for the speed boat to arrive. Why is Liam acting like this? Why does his treatment of me seem to have changed? He never treated me like this before. My lips parted as I was about to say something, but I couldn’t continue and just waited for the boat to arrive. There's something in me that I want him to stay like this… “Let's go.” Liam took care of me when the speed boat arrived. I just chose not to speak and quietly followed what Liam wanted to happen. After all, he said that we're going to a place that was important to me. Even though I was confused by Liam’s actions, I shouldn’t have lost my composure. It is dangerous to be with him alone in the wate
I laughed bitterly loud. “Have you forgotten, Crystal? We're still legally married,” Liam added, causing the corner of my lips to twitch and create a smirk. “Married by paper. Even your own cruel mouth proclaimed it. You may also have forgotten why we both got married? You wedded me because you were in desperate need of someone. And I— simply promised to marry you in exchange for a great sum of money, which I badly needed.” I blurted fiercely, as my stare was not deviating from him. “After I finished my job, you gave me the money you promised. You helped me out financially, but you entirely shattered me. I don’t even know if I should thank you.” I was given a large sum of money in exchange for my marriage to Liam, and I won't deny that it helped me financially during m
“Why do you look so weary?” Noah asked as soon as I got to their house. “Did that Spencer happen to do something to you again?” I glared at him as I took off my bag, and Liam's coat. “Why are you glaring at me?” He rose from his seat as he helped me put my bag on the table. “Where is Trina?” I asked. “Noah, you should be nicer to her. Trina doesn’t like being restrained, so just support her in everything and accept who she is. Besides, she's already like that before you two met. Trina never wears intimidating dresses to grab men's attention-” “You don’t have to worry Crystal, we’re all good. She’s in my room and talking to your sister.” Oh, right.
My hands trembled as I stared at his message on my phone. I don't know if I will just double tap his message and leave him on seen. I have run out of words to say. What am I? A teenager? How can a single text from a person make me blush. I'm not even a teenager who's just experiencing an infatuation. It's like the feeling that your long-time crush messaged you unexpectedly, and it will make your heart seem to be suffocated with the force of its beating. You are lost in words and can't help but to smile. I positioned my fingers on the keyboard to reply to his message. [Liam? What are you doing on i***a? And why have you created an account just now?]
“Hey.” I heard someone’s voice as I was in the depth of my dreams. “Mmm?” I groaned and still did not open my eyes. I tried to straighten my body because I feel a bit sore on my hip caused by my position. “Hey Crystal, we're in New Jersey.” I was taken aback by Noah's words. I quickly peeked out the window and saw the flight attendants and staff personnel waving at us. “Finally, we’re in the place where you and Trina grew up. I can’t wait to see some places where you guys can enjoy yourselves.” Noah's voice sounds happy. I'm glad he is lighting up my mood.
Noah and I are now in the backseat of the car. Every time my skin touches his leather jacket, I can't stop giggling with laughter because it's still hot regardless of the air-con. I left Liam's message on seen, because I am not sure what will happen after returning back here in my hometown. I don’t want to give him a false hope and then in the end I won’t be able to come back. I still don’t know mom’s reasons why she did that. So as long as I'm not sure what my decision will be, I don't want to end the words I'm going to give. “So this is how it looks here,” Noah uttered as he was gazing outside the window. “Don't overreact Noah, there's actually not much difference.” I chuckled. Honestly, it’s not like we go to a desert island. Noah's reactions are always above the expectations. There are no camels walking on our side which made it look very odd compared to Denmark. But what I love in Denmark, and what made me fall in love in that country is the designs of their buildings. As
