Chapter 21    The last thing I expected was to had a peaceful life, happy me, happy life. It should be easy, right? But who am I kidding? If my life is tangle with the likes of this Spaniard count? It was a downright disaster waiting to happen.  You’re an idiot! I shouted at myself, making the same mistake again and again is the stupid thing to do. And being with the man who badly hurt me is another level of stupidity. And the most challenging thing was, I already know that.  The next morning. I think heaven that after long months I had a decent sleep. I have been deprived of myself since then. I hate to admit it, but I felt better than I had in a week. I had certainly gotten more rest in the past twenty-four hours of sleep than I had in a long time. I’m still yawning when I enter the state-of-the-art kitchen of Alejandro. I’m looking for crackers it helps me keep my nausea at bay, especially early in the morning. I wish th

Chapter 23   Alejandro’s                         Her smile, as bright as the sun, was the first thing that caught my attention. Vibrant and shining. So effervescent and full of unfettered joy that it arrested me, and I couldn’t remember what I’d been thinking just moments earlier, even our nonsense argument all faded away. I never forget this place because this is her favourite.             “Did you remember when you decided to ditch your work, and we came here? It wasn’t summer because the beach was not a perfect place for us.” Cameron asked, joy lacing in her soft voice, but her eyes betrayed her. “It was one of my favourite days. Imagine being on the beach together with the one you love. It is a perfect day.” and she closed her eyes. “When I listen to the sound of the wave

Chapter 25               I didn’t sleep that night. Not that I should have come as any surprise to me. I lay awake in my bed, reliving the past. I oath to move on, and yet here I am.             I remember when we first met, Alejandro and his pink handcuff when he easily defeated the culprit, and we indeed up laughing together when we found out that we were actually lost in that dark alley. And how he’d swept my feet off into a passionate and all-consuming relationship.             From the first day he asked me out, we hadn’t spent a single day apart for several weeks. By the end of the first month of our whirlwind courtship, I finally said yes. And that moment, I experienced how sweet my first ‘I love you is. I had never been quite sure why he’s chosen me. It wasn’t as if I was infe

Chapter 27               Alejandro’s               It was already afternoon, and I am worried sick when Cameron didn’t answer my calls I can’t even reach her. I let myself into the house and searched every corner of the living room and looked around for Cameron.             “Cameron?” I called on her name. But no one is answering. I even checked on her room. Luckily it was open, and I hoped that she’s just taking her nap. But the room was empty and messy.             My heart beats raced. What if something happened to her? The phone that I give her was on the top of the side table, still on the box. I rushed outside. When I saw the beach, I know her. She will break everything that I said once she was on the be

Cameron's   Once I get inside my room, I bolted the door behind me and sat on the edge of the bed, and outside I can hear a harsh loud knocking and Alejandro’s voice through the door. I was too angry to give a damn that he’d own the house; I don’t give a damn if he will destroy my bedroom door. Everything was fine, really fine, even though I don’t know what to call it. And now, whatever it was, I wanted out It was already enough that Alejandro had humiliated me with our past that was hanging on the edges and now that brainless airhead woman is piling on as well? Damn! Fuck them all! They could go all to hell. I drastically looked at my door when it flew open, revealing a livid Alejandro. Yeah, well, he wasn’t the only one, and I wasn’t backing down. I got on my feet and faced him head-on. “What the hell is wrong with you, Cameron? This is extremely not like you. What do you think you could accomplish by avoiding me? Ignori
