บททั้งหมดของ Stolen Lover: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Seated in front of my vanity mirror, I looked at myself unhappy. I couldn't hold my tears to fall and it felt like something squeezed my heart.  The pain, sorrow, and chaotic emotion were the culprit why I felt suffocated.  I'm totally shattered. I used to be protected and loved. I get all the attention I wanted. I didn’t want to be neglected. But lately, being treated that way made me tired. I’m tired of being let down. I’m tired of being sad. It taught me that to endure hurt is a waste of time. I realized - that's not what I wanted. I opened my drawer and picked up paper and pen.  I wrote a letter and with a heavy heart, I left it on the table next to my bed. I believe it was the right thing to do - for myself and for those who were affected by my childish behavior. In front of my luggage - I sighed, composed myself, held my chin up, and thought, “Woman, this is best for everyone, go on, try to find some new environment, take some time for yo

  Ring... Ring... Ring... That was my alarm. Arrrgghhh! Still sleepy but must go to university because of my last semester's final exam. I needed to pass so I could finish college and make Chadrick proud of me. He’s my greatest inspiration, my deepest why, and My Knight!. Eager to complete BS in Business Ad, - yes, I enrolled for a business course because I wanted to fit in with Chadrick’s world. I chose Chicago University because of the tri-semester program they were offering. With that, I could get my degree faster and join Chadrick in the mundane of business. I didn't care if it’s tough as long as I’m with him. I didn't want to get late for school that was why I pushed myself for a quick shower. Left only with my lingerie’s I looked myself in the mirror. I got long legs with my 5’7 height. My body curve is in great shape at 19. “Whoa! I turned into one fine lady and it suited me. After the shower, I walked into my closet full of wardrobes. I c

I looked at Chadrick and it was visible that he knows why I acted like that. There was a hint in his eyes that he wanted to comfort me, but decided not to. I realized that in the span of five months he has changed. I focused on my studies to finish early, unaware that in that period of time someone was able to snatch him from me. I’m on the edged of losing him to that woman for good. It felt like my world crumbled down in an instant. My stomach was churning and pain’s burning my chest. I couldn't breathe. I felt jealousy about his past relationship with other women but with Vanessa, it's different. I could feel that he was serious about her and worst, he will really marry her. I don't know how to move on with my life if that happens. I looked at Andrew and requested him to walk me to the car. It could be seen easily from him that my legs were shaky because of uneasiness. He sat up and informed them that he needed to go too for he has early businesses to sort out tomo

Marco dialed his number using my mobile phone and put it on a speaker. After three rings, “Hello Alle?” he answered. I thought he wouldn't and that surprised me. “Hi, sorry to call you at this time,” Marco spoke seriously. “Who are you? Why Alle’s phone with you?” Chadrick reacted immediately. Maybe he wondered why it was a man's voice. "I’m Marco the cousin of Alle’s best friend Bella," Marco introduced himself right away. "I called because I’m having a hard time with these two drunken women. I don’t know who to call. I saw your only name in her emergency calls," he started to explain. "Sorry to bother you but will you able to fetch her in the Club Serene 16th floor Agua Hotel? I’m afraid I can’t handle them both," he added. Though he sounded serious, he was smiling and winking at me in front of him. Crazy! “I’ll be there in 10 minutes. Please keep them safe,” Chadrick replied instantly. Marco dropped the call and beamed like an

After I showered, I changed to a floral dress with a length above my knee and decided to put on some lotion. My brother suddenly appeared from my door “Alle, what will happen now?” I answered him with the truth that I'm not sure about Chadrick's decision. Nothing happened between us but Dad won’t believe me. But still, I’m so ashamed that they witnessed us under that state. Arrghh!.  “You’re likely to get Dad a heart attack,” he clucked his tongue. “Yeah, I know and I felt sorry for that” I replied wearily. We were all in the dining to have our breakfast. My Dad, Mom, Andrew, and Chadrick. I chose to sit beside Andrew across from Chad.  No one has ever talked and all that could be heard were clicks of the utensils. I bowed my head and thought, "Jeez! awkward!". After a few minutes, Dad put his utensils down and placed both his elbows on top of the table as he clasped his hands. “Alle, after breakfast you need to pack your things," he said seriously.
