RYAN POVWords alone can't describe how I had felt for the past two days. Without her, it was difficult to remain too well. I had to eat alone, cook, and sleep alone, this reminding me of the time I was single. And when I finally saw her, with that beautiful smile on her face, I felt my heart full. It was glaring to say my heart felt too full and tight, at the sight of her. She was the one for me. And when she drew me into a warm embrace, I felt my body suddenly light. I felt like not leaving her. I breathe in that familiar scent, reminding me of how it calms my soul. I felt my heart throbbed when she said those words: “I MISSED YOU”It made me the happiest man on earth, just in the arms of my darling wife. "Aww. You guys are making the single ones like us jealous with the scene in front of us.” I groaned at Eva's comment, as Ariel chuckled against my chest before pulling away, our eyes locking each other briefly. Those brown eyes. How, I have missed them so much. "You would

ARIEL POV Ryan pressed his lips against my forehead, my heart suddenly felt too full and tight. He locked eyes with me, as he gave out a groan. "I will miss you.”He mused, his eyes with hidden emotion I could not easily decipher. Ryan had to travel with his dad for the next three days, and to be honest, I felt a big part of me not willing to let him go. Slowly, I was becoming attached to him day by day. "I will miss you too. Don't forget to get me some presents.”I let out a lopsided smile as he chuckled. "I will never forget that.”He paused, as his stare left me for a few seconds. He held my arms, as he looked in my eyes. "Why am I feeling reluctant to go? Maybe I should just cancel the trip.”He rasped out. My eyes squinted, not sure if I heard right. "This is because of your dad, right?”His facial countenance changed immediately. "What do you mean?”He didn't meet my eyes again as his grip on my arms slowly left. “You are still angry with your dad, aren't you? I felt that

RYAN POV Just like a flash of light, reality dawned on me. I was extremely tense, as I paced to and fro the hospital waiting room. My muscles were unable to release, and goosebumps clouded my body. It was as if I had seen a ghost. If this is a dream, please wake me up. I kept tapping myself to be certain I was in reality and not a dream world. It was difficult to think straight. My phone rang for the umpteenth time as I groaned out of frustration. My frustration only grew into anger when I saw that familiar number. "Mr. Martin, the fake investigator. I am sure you got my message.” I seethed, my right hand in a fist, in an attempt to calm my angry self, but it didn't seem to be working. “I swear that I made a thorough investigation about Miss Evelyn. Even the remains of her body found were tested and confirmed to be hers. Maybe the person you saw was a doppelgänger.” He explained, but I was not buying that. It was Evelyn…. Evelyn, my wife. "I will let this slide for a tempora

RYAN POV If there had to be something I would have given myself a full mark for, then it would be the fact that I kept boundaries with Evelyn throughout our ride to the States. It wasn't easy, but yet, I did. She had always been the less clingy person when we were still dating. I did most of the clinging. But since she was aware that I was her husband, she was clingy, to be honest. I almost thought she was a entirely different person. Every tine I glanced at her, I felt nothing but sympathy and pity. That only made my throat and heart lock tight at a bitter sense of feeling in my gut. I exhaled, allowing myself to follow Evelyn who seemed to be taking a peculiar kind of attention to the mansion I got for her. She stared for as long as she could, especially at the sitting room, her guardian standing a few distance behind her. The mansion was painted deep blue, as it was her favorite color then. I could still remember how most of her things, as well as her clothes, were blue. It

RYAN POV I shook my head, taking strides toward her, as I held her hand. "Ryan, you are back.”She looked surprised. I couldn't help but took note, she didn't use a pet name for me. Great! That was probably the least thought I should have right now. “Milady, I can explain. You don't have to leave.”I voiced out, and I was sure sadness was boldly written on my face right now. Her laughter erupted, and I was lost for some seconds. The light illuminated on her face, making her look radiant. Her blonde hair falling over her face. She did the most unexpected thing, as she held me in an embrace. I felt lost, as her smell wafted through my nostrils. It reminded me of faint soothing fragrance. "Ariel. Are you…" She pinched me, as I choked slightly on my words. "Can you keep quiet already? I'm not leaving you.” Just like a gust of air, I felt relief and calmness instantly, my inside slowly turning into jelly. I was happy. It felt good to have a wife like her, but I still could
