The silence in the room has never been this loud ever. Georgia walked through the room painted in pastel color. But the bright lights illuminating couldn’t even lift the weight in her heart. This is the condominium that she and Lawrence lived together in. And now that walked alone in this wide space, the silence didn’t fail to make her feel so alone ever.“I don’t know what to do anymore…” her voice cracked as her knees weakened. With the wall behind, Georgia got the support of her back. She bit her lower lip, trying to resist the urge of crying. “What am I gonna do?...” This time, Georgia finally let her tears roll down her cheeks.She’s stuck with the decisions lying on her hand. What exactly is the right thing for her to do right now? Keep on going through this and marry him and forget what she knew? Or cut her ties with him after confronting him on the face? Just thinking about the series of choices in her mind breaks her already.“Sweetie…” perhaps it was because of her occupied
Did she make the right call? The man she was together with for three years… is it really right for her to cut everything? Georgia took a long sigh as she took a sip on the hot coffee inside the cafe. Actually, leaving a note in his sleep last night just seemed like a really dumb call to her. After all, they’re bound to meet in the hospital.Unless, she would make it obvious to avoid him–which is likely to happen. She doesn’t have enough guts for a confrontation yet.Rather than keeping up and marrying him while ignoring what he did, Georgia chose an action that would give them peace eventually–even if it takes long for peace. She chose a path where both of them would be free, and let fate decide what’s going to happen in her and his life.“Having deep thoughts?” as her gaze floated blankly, a familiar irritating voice suddenly ensued from behind. Her head responded quickly and turned to where the voice came from. There she saw the annoying smile on the face of Primo.As Primo felt ack
“Sweetie… what’s the meaning of this?” Lawrence’ low and soft voice ensued as he looked at Georgia with the face of shock. He was holding the piece of paper she left last night. Georgia looked down on it when she saw the slight tremble in his hand that held it.But she quickly removed her eyes from it. Lawrence felt his world crashing as he saw that reaction. Then, he moved his gaze toward her knuckles… her empty fingers. Just as what he read on the letter, the ring isn’t there anymore.“I’m so sorry, Lawrence. Please, excuse me.” Georgia avoided his gaze and walked past him. The grip on her knuckles was so tight that she could dig her nails on her skin. She walked away with heavy steps, leaving him behind.Lawrence's jaw dropped as his eyes floated blankly out of surprise. However, something caught his attention that cleared his vision. A car from across suddenly rolled down the windshield, revealing the presence of the person he knew who’s wearing shades. Despite the shades, he cou
“But you’re aware that I’m busy, right?” Georgia still has more to say regarding the invitation she received. It was already obvious by her profession! To her surprise, the response from the other line left her jaw dropped.“I got your schedules cleared already. You’ll also be having paid absences. I will also get your dress delivered later. You have nothing to worry about. All I need is your presence.” Primo responded calmly. He basically has everything covered already, without even letting her know in the first place!Since when did he do that?! Does she even have more excuses to decline this invitation?!“I don’t accept answers other than your acceptance, Mi Amore. I’ll pick you up before evening by tomorrow. Get your beauty rest for the meantime~” thinking that he paused, Georgia was about to speak. But then, she was quickly beaten to the punch. He still has more to say!“And oh, by the way, don’t be that bothered by Rapha’s presence. He’s your personal bodyguard from now on.” And
Due to the fact that Georgia left the condominium she shared with Lawrence, she had nothing on the roof. Fortunately, she remembered her older brother whose house is currently empty while he’s away working as a pilot.After getting his permission, she went straight there in an instant and stayed for the night–which also meant Raphael tailing behind her. Now, one thing that she’s only worrying about is the party later. “Honestly, you really didn’t have to do this. I can manage myself.” Georgia spoke in a matter of fact. She was making breakfast for both her and Raphael who was patrolling outside.“Ma’am, you’re saying something?” Raphael quickly stood by the door and peeked over at her. Georgia halted from making toasted bread and sighed. She thought he was inside like the last moment she saw him!“Never mind. You tell your boss that I don’t need you.” She said and prepared the coffees. As she was done, she brought the breakfast to the veranda where Raphael had been sightseeing the ne
All throughout their banters, Manuel, who’s in the front driving, was just listening to all of it while occasionally stealing glances at them. Boss, this is so unlike you. He doesn’t even know what to react other than to be amused by such a behavior he had witnessed.“Mi Amore? We’re here…” a soft masculine voice suddenly rang on Georgia’s ears. She felt something hard in her head. It was as if she was leaning on a person. Slowly, her consciousness went back from drowsiness. Then she gently rubbed her eyes, careful not to smudge her makeup. “We’ve arrived.”The same voice ensued, prompting her to look up. And her eyes widened from being sleepy when she saw Primo so close to her! He could even feel his breath! With that, she quickly sat straight upon realizing that she had been leaning on his chest!“That seemed like a good sleep, Mi Amore.” Primo remarked that is followed with his grin. Georgia was about to get out of the car, when Primo quickly caught her arm. “I’ll do it for you.” H
Georgia sat frozen on her seat as her eyes followed the man who’s smiling so widely as he reached the center of the platform. She knew him for years. She had been with him for years. But… Why does he look a lot like a stranger to her right now? It was as if she didn’t know him entirely.“Who are you really, Lawrence?” Georgia murmured. “Why do you keep… surprising me?” What more there is about Lawrence that would surprise her? “I knew it.” Primo beside her muttered, but she couldn’t even pay attention to him as her eyes were tightly glued to Lawrence who finally looked in front after handshaking with Chairman Granger. Funnily enough, she was the first person that he laid his eyes into.Just like her, he is also as shocked as she was, slowly washing away the wide smile he has on his face. They locked into each other’s gazes that no one wanted to break. Georgia looked thoroughly at him. The face looked the same to the Lawrence she knew, but… at the same time, it was as if she never met
He in fact expected it to happen when Georgia pulled him closer to her, but the way his heart reacted was out of this world. Primo didn’t even know that he’s capable of feeling such. He just feels like floating in the clouds right now, as the woman he has been keeping his eyes on finally made a move on him with the kiss.Primo expected this encounter with Lawrence, as well as Georgia’s reaction. But he didn’t expect the kiss!“G-Georgia…” As Georgia slowly separated their lips apart, then she heard the voice of the man watching such a scene unfold before him. It was Lawrence, muttering breathlessly as his eyes widened in utter disbelief.“That was my response, Lawrence. Please… stop it already.” Georgia answered as she locked her eyes on him for him to know that she’s firm and remain unmoved in her decision. She saw the look of shock in those eyes that she used to admire the most.Silence occurred next. While Primo was still recovering from the shock, Georgia and Lawrence on the othe
He couldn’t be wrong in his guts. Primo had this feeling that the commotion that happened back in the venue was staged. He even has a person in mind–that, too, couldn’t be wrong. The way Lawrence made a subtle gesture in the eyes of the intruder… it was as if he was indirectly hinting him that the intruder had done enough and now can go.Hence, he also gestured to Manuel to chase after him. They will soon know the truth once that intruder gets caught. The question right now is, why? Why are they making a fuss in a prestigious event?“Primo…” his line of thought broke, when he heard that soft voice calling his name. His eyes cleared from thinking a lot and looked beside him. Georgia held her head low. He was waiting for her to say something, but she looked troubled in his eyes.“I’m sorry…” Georgia muttered, widening the eyes of Primo who didn’t see that coming. It was just for a brief moment, when he realized what she meant. Now, he’s reminded by that act of betrayal right in front of
The day after Georgia was kidnapped and imprisoned in the headquarters, Primo immediately called for a meeting with the core members of the organization. At the meeting space in the main building of Prime Innova Corporation consisted of Samuel, Heinrich, Manuel, and Primo himself, were seated on a circular table.“We’ve known our man. Now, what are the plans? Should we go directly to himself, or include the entire organization?” A pale man with a mole under his eye who’s at the same age with Primo, named Heinrich, started as he casted glances at each one of them.“I presumed you already know the answer to that question, Heinrich,” Primo answered. “Freegal Organization has been our archenemy ever since they tried to get in our way in the past. Let’s not focus on one person only, rather, let’s end this for once and for all.” He added, which everyone in the room agreed.“How do we start?” Samuel, Manuel’s twin, asked. That’s the question everyone is anticipating to get answered.“Let’s t
