My heart was beating so fast as took a glance at the ring, it has a little diamond on top of it. And when our gaze locked, his eyes were like that again, full of emotions, from the coldest Achilles I’ve met to this one. It’s quite different but so heartwarming to see. “Then be my man, Achilles.” The only words came out of my lips. His eyes slowly widened. “You won’t take it back right?” He asked unbelievably, as he waits impatiently on my answer, it was all visible on his face. “Do I look like I’m kidding?” I shot back. And before I could blink his arms were completely wrapping me now tightly. “Thank you, baby, you have no idea how happy I am tonight.” When he removed his brace from me, he took my hand. “This ring will keep you remembering that there’s a man r

Frozen by his last words, another strike of pain crossed my chest.   “His first love?” I asked, hoping that he’ll answer differently this time. Achilles never mentioned that he has a childhood best friend and his first love. I thought his mom is the only reason why he hates women.   “Yes, Jada.” Taken aback when Caleb speaks again, I heaved a deep breath to calm and stop myself from the urge of tears wanting to fall.   “Therefore, she was his past….” I paused for a moment and give him a cold gaze.   “I am his present.”   “No matter what his reason is, it won’t validate what I’ve witnessed with my two eyes, Caleb. They were kissing. The woman is on top of him, half-naked.” I continued, trying to explain to him that this isn’t all about that woman, and who she is in his life but rather the scene that I’ve witnessed with my two eyes.   “Is it no

Awakened by the sound of the strong splash of waves, I lazily get off my bed feeling all the heavy pain right inside my chest just to be greeted by the sunlight touching my skin as I opened the window of the cabin. A small smile escape my lips, I will never be tired of seeing this kind of scenery every day. The day was too good to be ruined by what happened last night. So instead of locking myself in this cabin just to avoid seeing him, I’d rather enjoy this amazing paradise right in front of me. I quickly remove my shirt and shorts, revealing my white two-piece bikinis, and walk toward the tempting blue ocean as the white sand slowly coats my feet. “Catalina needs you, and I don’t?” I asked him unbelievably. “Let me remind you Achilles, I’m your girlfriend. She might be your first love, your first heartbreak, and your first i

“P-please?” No. That’s what I wanted to say, simply because I’m not a masochist to do that. However, a part of me is convinced that I can’t say no to her hopeful facade. Before I could open my mouth, the door suddenly opened. I wanted to thank that person for coming in at the right time but when I recognize who it was, things get more complicated. “Achilles! I thought the business will be over this late afternoon? It ended soon huh?” Catalina run toward him and hugged him. But the man’s eyes were settled on me. “By the way, I’ve met your secretary, Jada. I like her!” Catalina exclaimed smiling widely at me. I smiled back and stands up. “Maybe I should leave you two for a while. Call me when you need me, Mr.Coleman.” I casually said before I walk straight ready to vanish from their sight

The moment he turns his back, guilt instantly rushes through my system, no one should be blamed but you Jada. I was staring at his back, memorizing his build like this will be the last time we will meet until he completely vanished. My knees fell off onto the subtle sand. "Jada." Martini's voice echoed as he's trying to hold me up but I didn't budge, my tears were continuously gliding down freely. He’s gone. "Why did you do that?" He asked.  But I don't know how will I answer that when clearly there’s only one reason behind this. "Jada, it's alright if you don't tell me..." "Why do I feel like happiness is too impossible to reach." I cut him off. No matter how I tried to bring myself together, I’ll always end up being shattered. "Jada." "Whenever I think everything is going fine, someone or something else will come up to ruin everything. Am I that bad to experience this, Martini?"I asked him straight
