Chaotic Resemblance のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

         The house is cold. Not because of the lack of warmth but also the lack of life. Sited at the kitchen counter was Damien, his dirty blonde hair falling over his face as his head was bent forward. Unmoving in that position. He had nothing else to live for, no fight left in him Everything he loved, cherished, and cared for was gone. His first love, Lauren was now married to his ex-best friend Nathan, his fiancée, Jane was now dead because of him.     He sits upright, only to pick up his glass filled with alcohol as he lets it slide down his throat. He needed to not feel, that was all he wanted now. He slammed the glass on the table just as his phone rang. It was Luke, his private investigator, who connected the call on the last ring.     “Tell me you found something,” said Damien, with his voice rough and around the edge.  

  On days like this Lauren hated the mornings because she would have to face the fears the day would bring. She turned to face little Harry whose face was pressed into her neck. She watched his tiny form breathe and take in life.     She remembered when she first found out she was pregnant. She had to be angry that the baby growing inside her would remind her of what she had lost, what could have been. But with time she started to love her little bundle of Joy. He was the one that made life bearable for her, he made her life worth living.     Lauren wondered why Nathan never mentioned the baby looking like Damien. The two had been best friends since childhood so he was bound to know where the green eyes and jet-black hair came from.     She felt Nathan stir on his own side of the bed before she felt his hand embrace her and Harry. Lauren was sure they looked like the perfect

Stones crunched under Damien’s tires as he pulled into the driveway where Lauren was waiting for him with Harry in her arms. He came out of the car and opened the door for her. “You did not have to do that,” She said as she got in, carrying the little boy close to her chest. Damien said nothing and got onto his own side of the car. Lauren watched him from the corner of her eyes as he pulled out of the house, his jaw unmoving. She looked out of the window, if he wasn’t going to speak to her then she wasn’t going to say anything either. “I called the hospitals ahead of time and there's only one with an opening to directly meet the doctor” he explained as he pulled into the hospital. Lauren immediately felt a chill when he stopped at the car park. This was the exact hospital she had woken up to, only to learn that she was married to Nathan. There was just something about it that was unsettling and the fact that Damien might have called ahead of time to make plans wi

Five minutes to go. Damien was furious but he didn’t let his anger consume him. he waited as they inspected his jet before deeming it safe for flying. He was going to his summer house in Hawaii, where he could unwind before thinking of the next thing to do. He checked his watch, he was already late. He wondered if Lauren was waiting for him, or if she already figured out he left. His best guess was that she would be happy with her now perfect little family, he was no longer there to pose a threat to them. He bet Nathan would even throw a party that he removed him from the picture for good. “We're all set,” One of the attendants told him. Damien brushed off his suit before walking towards the jet, knowing that he would never set foot here again. This was perhaps the last time he would see his parents unless they finally decided to leave their home and travel elsewhere. He didn’t know why they were so adamant about traveling and leaving their home. Well, if he was married to

It had been a long time since Lauren heard the birds sing early in the morning or the early sun come down to kiss her skin a good morning. She smiled as the birds sang louder, their sweet melody making her drift in and out of sleep. She was afraid to open her eyes, she didn’t want this bliss she felt to come to an end. She felt Damien turn on his own side of the bed and drape his arm on her torso. “Regretting what happened already?” he said, his voice still deep with sleep she snuggled closer to him, his body keeping her warm “Not at all”. “Then what are you thinking of so early in the morning,” He asked. He snapped his eyes open when she didn’t answer for a while. He smiled, signaling that he had nothing to worry about “I don’t want this moment to end” she confessed “This is the happiest I’ve been since I woke in that hospital” she said. She reached out and kept her palm on his face “And it’s all because of you” “I hate that everything turned out this way,”
