“You left me on our wedding day, remember?”
Audrey pursed her lips. She held on his arm gripping on her waist, and slowly… Yes! Intimidatingly, she stepped forward, getting closer to him. Her eyes were locked on his dark iris, mesmerized by his pair of orbs in the darkest shade of brown; almost black, opposite to hers.
Ten years ago, she believed that opposite attracts. She was relatively glad when she actually realized the huge differences between her and Shane. From their looks and social standing, she was always at the disadvantage and just like how the heavens favored him, he got everything she didn’t have; endless growing talents, outstanding physical attributes, and influence.
“Tomorrow will be the third day. Don’t forget to pack your things after you sign the papers
‘What? Is he going to apologize for bullying me? Well, if he sincerely says he’s sorry then I don’t have a choice but to accept it.’Audrey waited for him to continue on what he was trying to say. A little delighted to hear his sincere apology.“I wanted to say that… I’m sorry for leaving you before,” Tristan said. His eyes were solemnly looking at her. “If I have known that my parents were planning to move, I should have had a lot of fun with you then.” He stroked her face with his hand and fondled her earring. “When I heard the news about your accident… I was troubled and the distress won’t disappear. I should have pinched your bun-like face harder. What if you died in the accident an
“What do you mean you can't?!” Shane shut his eyes when Audrey yelled at his face.He was dead-tired and was asleep when he caught a whiff of a lavish meal. The luscious smell forced his wobbly body to get up. Thanks to his hangover, he had a hard time stepping down the stairs.His eyes almost dropped from its sockets when he found Audrey in the kitchen. She was wearing an apron, and he wouldn't lie, she looked so sexy with her hair braided on the side around her head like a crown.“Good morning,” she greeted him and it took him off guard. He was speechless until she spoke again. “I'm making you breakfast since this could be t
A gasp of time passed before the forced and seemingly awkward laughed escaped Shane’s mouth.“What do you mean?” he asked and it annoyed her. Shane must have sensed the annoyance in her voice thus he zipped his mouth in a blink.‘Is he stupid? I love you, idiot, no, maybe I’m the idiot one here but for goodness’ sake! Why are you so clueless!!’ Is what she wanted to say, but she couldn’t. Audrey pursed her lips while rubbing her temple. “You know what, since we couldn’t proceed with the annulment as of the moment, just please… let’s keep our distance in public… for now at least since your mom isn’t around yet,” she said, heaving a sigh.Audrey leaned her back on the door frame. Folding her hands on her chest, she threw
Another wave of silence passed through. Shane was surprised at what she said. It was all over his face. Quietly, he stared at her who refused to look back. His mind was blown away, not by her tremulous voice but her words. He heard them, loud and clear.‘I took her first kiss,’ he thought to himself.He knew her, and she wasn’t the type to make up things. Shane could tell that Audrey was telling the truth, but he refused to believe it. For what reasons, there were so many on his lists.Audrey disappeared for years and who knows what happened of what she was doing all those years. After she showed up, completely different, and had changed
Audrey took a deep breath and sighed when the car exited the gate.“You seemed closer than the last time you talked,” Nathan commented. He was driving the car back to his apartment. “Well, I don’t want to pry on your marriage issue so let me ask you something else,” he continued when he got no response from her. “Are you going somewhere or should I drive you back to my place? ‘Cause we’re heading there right now.”“Hmm…” Audrey hummed. She was quietly looking outside the car’s window. Her solitary moment ended when Nathan pulled over to the side.“What happened?” she asked, completely inattentive to what was going on. “Why did you pull over?”Audrey
“Sì,” Audrey answered him when he asked if Nathan came. “You can talk to him later but first, where do you usually eat? This place is too messy and I could still smell the paint on the wall,” she rubbed her nose with her finger and hold the tall guy on the arm to drag him out of the place. “I remember you said there’s a garden at the back, let’s go check it out. We made you some nice food for today’s lunch.”Anderson pushed the glass door leading to the back. The colorful flowers almost blinded their eyes when they took a few steps to the left side of the building, following the footwalk made of white sands and colorful pebbles meticulously arranged in an artistic way, a flower garden was found.Built at
It was Friday and four days had passed since they visited the site and Audrey didn’t have any spare time to visit the place again. Nathan was right. She didn’t have a lot of things on her hand that needs her attention.First, the new recipes that she wanted to put on the menu in her restaurant. She only had a couple of dozens including the desserts, and she thought she needed more. For the past few days, she stayed in the kitchen, trying out various new recipes. And Nathan was her taste-tester.Second, the meeting with the GGE President, Harrison Smith. Nathan informed her two days ago that she needed to attend the meeting. He briefed her about the possible offers that the CEO would present just to make her sign a contract with them.In fact, the GGE didn’t really need to have her. They&rsqu
The night was long and Audrey couldn’t sleep even after yawning many times. She shut her eyes and took several turns to the side but it was as if the drowsiness she had vanished into thin air after she found herself lying down on the king-size bed in the master’s bedroom.She would check the time often and every passing minute felt like an hour to her. Hey, eyes started to get tired but her mind won’t give her a break. She had been overthinking about the things that could happen while staying with Shane in the same house. To add up with her worries, her mother-in-law was expected to stay with them for a while.Shane would definitely have no problem acting out like a ‘perfect’ husband he could be. Well, as for her, she could cook which was one of the ‘basics’ a woman should learn at least when getting married. Other than cooki
