Sitting on the Waikiki beach was refreshing as Rex promised her, it was truly a memory. After getting enough suntan on the beach Cherry stood up from the picnic mat a random stranger gifted her and walked to the only bar on the beach. There she met different people chilling and talking randomly, she decides to fetch some light snacks from the bar and hoped to contact Rex as soon as possible. Cherry recalled the hours before now when she waited patiently for Rex to return back to the suite which he didn’t, almost a day had passed and he was yet to show up. Cherry felt betrayed and abandoned, she felt like he did it on purpose to punish her for nothing. How inconsiderate for him to abandon her in a room she is unfamiliar with, and in a country she’s never been into. The loneliness she experienced that night was very depressing and traumatic due to her past life of living alone, fending, starving, and having nobody to lean on but it all changed when she started spending

A month after… A month has passed since their arrival to Hawaii and they were yet to do any work-related stuff, most of the time spent in the past few weeks was either on the beach or in the hotel watching movies. Cherry felt the need to confront him but got distracted by every movie he offered. What creeps her to the bones was Rex constantly shadowing her every place she goes except for bathroom breaks sometimes her bedroom which she was forced to lock because of him, so annoying. Just as Rex promised, her weekly payment keeps hitting her account but what was the need? She barely even left a hand to do anything and her bank account was flowing with money, not that she complained but it is just really useless and strange. Every day was the usual, bread and chocolate drinks for breakfast, movies at noon, and chaos dinner time. And a few times when he needed her skills he’ll only let her arrange some blank documents that didn’t need to

Cherry angrily drags herself forward, snatches the garment bag Peter threw on the couch, and stomped into her room. She slams the door behind her and went to sit on the bed. Cherry gets even frustrated with herself for dancing to his tune, again and again, Rex somehow knows how to break her using his own commands and she reluctantly follows every order despite putting up a fight. When her eyes glanced at the garment bag holding her dream gown something brilliant popped into her mind and she goes to check her reflection on the mirror. “This old me is getting a once-off makeover.” Cherry walked into her walk-in closet to fetch some things to get ready then she goes into the bathroom for a quick shower, after a warm scrub she steps out in an oversized towel too heavy to walk about but she still killed it. Cherry pampered her skin with some cream and powder before putting on the royal blue dress and the shoes Peter selected for her. She goes back to the c

Ray led her to a set of stairs and turned her so she was facing him. “I will have to cover your eyes now.” He said. “What! Why?” Cherry asked with an attitude. “Just trust me, you will love what you see.” He assures her. “I do hope so or I will have your neck!” She threatens. Ray chuckles and stands behind to cover her eyes. She allows him to lead them up the stairs until they were outside the house through a balcony. “Are you ready?” He asks. “Always!” She sighs. Rex removed his hands and stayed beside her. "So what do you think?" He asked. Cherry blinked rapidly to clear her vision and stare at the view in awe. "Wow!" She exclaimed. "I know right. I used to come here with my mom when I was a child, she loves this place." Ray says which touched her heart. It was the first time he ever said something about his family. Cherry always knew there is a tiny part in his heart that had a lot of compassion. "Where is sh

Rex followed the ambulance closely even breaking traffic rules until finally stopping in the parking lot of the hospital. He wasted no time entering the building, searching the busy reception for signs of Cherry. Because the ambulance was faster and avoided most traffic Rex wasn’t able to meet up after they pulled over. He became restless thinking he was in the wrong hospital.“Excuse me, sir, are you looking for someone?” A nurse approaches him.Rex showed his ID stunning the young nurse. “Cherry Gilles…” He asks eagerly.“Sir? I- I didn’t know it was you, such an honor-” The nurse worshiped his presence and regrets not recognizing him earlier because of his messy state.“CHERRY GILLES!” He holds her shoulders asking with his eyes deep into her soul.“Do… down… down the hall, but you will need to see the doctor first his office is the first you will see when you
