My shoulders slumped. I have nothing to say at this very moment. Ellwood was right, he's always right. I can't argue with him. I turned my back on him and opened the cabinet where his spare clothes was. "Here, change. I'll wait for you outside." I didn't stay there for long and went upstairs to change in my own room. I'm expecting Hezekiah to be there. He already wore his white T-shirt and maong shorts. He was only in his slippers and is currently drying his wet hair with towel. He stopped what he was doing when he saw me. I walked straight to my walk-in-closet and looked for something to wear. When I went outside, he was still there, but he's now leaning on the doorway. "When are you planning to make your visitor leave?" He said while crossing his arms over his chest tightly. I arched my brows at him, "Actually, I invited him for a dinner tonight. There's nothing wrong with that, right?" I walked closer go him

The day came so fast and gone. I don't know what day it was or what month it was. I don't even remember when was the last time I smiled, I can't even recognize the feeling of being happy and alive. And I came to the point that I couldn't find anything in my heart. It was void. Ellwood was still in Australia. I don't know how long he'll stay there. I also don't have news regarding to Mom and Dad who's still on their vacation. I've been locking myself inside my room and not letting in any visitors, even Hezekiah. Zuay and Tawin visited me more often. But even so, I just couldn't stand up and go back to my old self. I felt the door opened so I closed my eyes and fixed the blanket that was covered over me. "The kids are here." I heard a deep voice of Hezekiah behind my back. I closed my eyes to the tightly, I still can't forgive myself for what happened. It was my fault that my child died. I didn't take care of myself and I let myself be t

I halted in front of the door. I took a deep breath and controled my nerve as I gripped the door handle. When I opened it, everyone almost looked at me at the same time. My eyes darted to Hezekiah who's sitting comfortable at the center seat. On his right was Zuay beside Tawin. "Meredith! What a surprise!" Zuay and Tawin stood up and kissed my cheek. "Did the meeting started?" I said cooly. "Not yet, we have a lot to talk about after this, huh?" Zuay whispered to me before they went back to their seats. I walked and sat in front of Zuay while Hezekiah was kn on my right side. I can feel his stares boring onto me although I wasn't looking at him. So I tried my best to smile at everyone and didn't spare him a glance. "Where have you been, Meredith? It's been long since we last saw each other." I turned to one of our partners with the Malls. She had branches on almost all of our malls. "I just had to take care of s

"Do you want to go with me?" My eyes went to him in so much confusion. The smile grew over his face. His tongues passed through his lips before nodding slightly. "W-Where are we going?" I panicked a little. "In Manila, I'll check the site for the new Mall." he answered. He now rested his arms at the table. I had to breathe properly to show no interest of his offer. But I became even more ashamed because I couldn't answer right away. "I already booked a ticket to Manila." He added with a hitch of a brow. "It will help you so you'll get familiar about how to run your company." I contemplated. He has a point, it can help me if I start from the basics. And what's wrongif I go with him? We'll go there for work so there's no reason to be nervous. "I want to go with you..." I answered without a blink. I didn't feel tired even if we traveled from Queensland for a lot of hours. My eyes were too busy looking around. The o

My tears formed in my eyes. The pain throbbed in my guts. I endured the ache forming in my heart. My lips were trembling, unable to say anything. "There is no cure for all the pain and hatred that I put you through. I maybe the biggest asshole and an idiot for letting me to forget you and leave you behind with full of misery..." he added. I shook my head repeatedly. I don't want to hear what he's gonna say because I'm not yet ready to hear anything about Alessandra. "Please, let's just not ruin this night..." I said in a low voice. He didn't speak, he just looked at me like he was reading my thoughts. "Come here..." he used his big arms to pull me into his chest. I felt him kiss my forehead gently while facing the cityscapes. Right now, all I really wanted is to be on his side, to feel his embrace and steal this moment with him. I glanced at him when his phone rang. He answered it while not moving beside me. He only stood strai
