Standing at the centre of the kitchen, Lewie's hands ransacked everywhere as he looked for his phone; he had dropped it in anger earlier when he stormed into the kitchen. "Where did I keep my phone?" he murmured. Torn between placing an order online or making a fast meal at home, he had to choose to make the meal himself since he couldn't find his phone. At this moment, he needed something that would be ready quickly. He kept scanning the kitchen, looking for food that would be ready in minutes. "Korean combo ramen and belly pork," he muttered again, his hands searching inside the cupboard for it; this was the easiest and fastest food that came to his mind. A few seconds later, the kitchen had changed both in scent and orderliness. Lewie had made a mess out of the kitchen. Selene, who had finished her meal, stood at the door, staring at him without saying a word, one hand on her waist while the other hand was carrying used plates. Gently, Selene walked to the kitchen sink to k
The warm water had splashed on Selene's hand, making her wince in pain. Lewie stood at a place unbothered; he took no step forward, nor did he look back or care to know what happened to Selene. He continued walking to his room. "Did you not hear me cry out in pain? Do you want to pretend like you heard nothing? Do you now dislike me so much that you don't even care about me again?" Selene asked in pain, her eyes burning red in anger. Lewie gave no response; he kept mute and went his way. "I kept blaming myself for everything, even when I knew I did nothing wrong. You locked me out of your study room without letting me explain; I tried apologising in every way I could. I woke up very early in the morning so I could prepare your favourite dish, but what did I get in return? You snubbed me! Even when I slipped while carrying the dish I made for you, you never cared to help me out. You didn't even look in my direction, you didn't care to know if I was okay or not. I almost injured mys
Slowly, Selene was pulled to her feet. She held onto her Saviour's waist while her head listened to his heartbeat."I'm Sorry, I didn't mean to go through your stuff", she apologised without raising her head."You don't want to talk to me? Do you know how sad I have been since last night? I couldn't sleep last night." She pressed her head tightly against his body. " Say something, please," she begged in a baby voice."Huh, Huh, Huh!" He cleared his voice. " But I'm not angry with you, it Le......" He was cut short by Selene, who didn't allow him to finish off."Are you serious? Or are you just saying it so I can let go of you?" She asked, her head up trying to look at Lewie's face, but was shocked when she saw who she had been holding.All this while she held the waist of the man who had saved her, and was apologising, she thought it was Lewie who saved her, but she never knew it was Leon.In shock, she tried to push Leon away but she lost her balance and ended up falling, hitting
Selene flinched in shock, and she unconsciously took four steps back. Her back is against the bookshelf. "What's wrong, Lewie?" she asked gently, her voice barely out like a whisper. "What do you think you are doing? huhh!! Going through my stuff" Lewie's face darkened as he looked at the photo she held in her hands "I was just trying to........"She tried explaining, but her voice faded when she noticed how angry Lewie was with her. Without waiting for her to complete her sentence, Lewie dashed forward, dragged the photo out of her hands and trashed it in the nearest trash bucket in the study. "Don't you dare touch my things again, without my consent, " he snapped at her. His finger pointed at her, his voice loud and void of emotion. "I Never meant to........." Lewie, who wasn't giving her any listening ear, interrupted her. " Can you leave here now!?" He asked in a low forced voice that sounded harsh. "Can I explain?" Selene pleaded, her eyes holding emotions. Lewie grabb
Lewie pushed through the door; he had received a call earlier telling him that Selene was hospitalised. Without exchanging pleasantries with the nurses. "Selene Silver?" He asked in between breaths. The nurse was still trying to register what he said when he spoke again. "Where is Selene Silver?" This time, his voice was loud and sharp. The nurse, startled by his voice's sharpness and urgency, pointed in Selene's direction while talking to him. "Room 203, go down the hallway to your........" The remaining words died off slowly. Before she could complete the statements, Lewie was halfway down the hallway. In his eyes, the hallway looks unending, but he finally reaches room 203 with a long big stride. He gently pushed the half-opened door open and froze. Leon was seated beside Selene on her bed, his eyes downcast, and his hands held Selene's pale, fragile fingers. She lay still and pale against the hospital bed. Lewie's stomach dropped, and his breath hitched when he saw
*****FLASHBACK***** After Leon and Selene's mini confrontation, Leon went to his room while Selene sat at the sitting. Her thoughts went back to the night she spent with Lewie. Would she want to pretend like nothing happened? Can her heart also pretend with her? Why does she feel that way about Lewie? Maybe she was just a fling, does Lewie feel anything for her? All this and more are running through her mind. Having decided to listen to her heart, she walked around the room trying to build her confidence on how to confront Lewie when he came back. While practising how to confess her growing love for Lewie, she made a deal with the wall clock never to take her eyes off it. Suddenly, the door was opened, and there stood Lewie in his suit, looking stressed out. His shirt was half unbuttoned, and his tie was. “Why are you still awake??” He asked as he looked at his watch and took a step forward. “Nothing!!! I just wanted to…” The remaining words went back to her stomach, making her
