CHAPTER ELEVEN

Anika's P.O.V The sun's rays, like golden streams, gently kissed my closed eyelids, coaxing me awake. I groaned softly, feeling the light invade my sleep. Moving with a sense of urgency, I rose from my slumber and hastened to the curtains in my room, pulling them together to block out the intrusive morning light. With a satisfying yawn and a refreshing stretch, I shed my nightwear and retrieved my pink gym set from the wardrobe. It had been far too long since I last indulged in a jog, as work had kept me preoccupied. Eager to rejuvenate my body and mind, I tied my hair into a ponytail, donned my workout outfit, and slipped into a pair of pristine white sneakers. My cordless headphones wrapped around my head, filling my ears with the captivating melody of 'Into You' by Ariana Grande. Descending the stairs, I noted Nana's absence and assumed she was still resting. Stepping out into the fresh air, I embarked on a jog around the vibrant neighborhood. After a refreshing jog, I return

CHAPTER TWELVE

Anika's P.O.V The door burst open, and Laura entered in her nightwear, her hair disheveled, and her face pale, clearly just waking up. "You guys are being so loud. Can you keep it down? I'm trying to sleep you all" she yawned then she turned to my direction, noticing me. "Anny, you're here?" she asked, surprised. "Yeah, I was bored at home, so I thought of coming here," I replied as she sat on Madison's couch, resting her face on the arm. "Ooh, okay" she muttered and I couldn't help but feel that Laura's behavior was unusual. Whenever I visited, she'd be thrilled to see me and eager to share life updates but she wasn't acting the usual way she always acts. I hoped she was alright. I returned to what I was doing, trying to ignore the strange atmosphere around me. "So, what were you guys talking about that woke me up?" Laura asked, looking at Lim. "Just something unimportant," Lim interjected. "We were discussing the girl Lim has a crush on, the one with a flower name," Madis

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Kelvin's P.O.V I let out a groan as I felt a gentle tap on my skin, pulling me from my peaceful slumber. "What is it, Mom?" I murmured, pressing my face against the soft pillow. "You're nearly late for work again! Hurry, take a quick shower, get dressed, and stop watching that movie. I told you to avoid it, but you never listen," she scolded. Suddenly, I realized what she meant, and my eyes shot open. I was indeed running late. After my mom left my room, still grumbling, I hurriedly took a shower and dressed as swiftly as possible. A white T-shirt paired with black pants and shoes was my go-to outfit, ensuring I dressed presentably. Rushing downstairs, I quickly wolfed down my breakfast. "Slow down, or you'll choke on your food," my mom cautioned, but I paid little heed and continued eating. "Bye, Mom," I said as soon as I finished, eager to leave for work. "Whatever, just go to work," she replied, shooing me away. I chuckled and gave her a peck on the cheek, to which she rol

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Anika's P.O.V I found myself on the couch in my office, having finished my work, but suddenly feeling bored. To pass the time, I grabbed my phone, unlocked it, and began scrolling through my gallery. As I went through the pictures, my mood shifted when I stumbled upon the folder I had created of Richard. Without hesitation, I clicked on it. As the photo opened, I zoomed in, studying it closely. Memories of Richard flooded back, and I couldn't help but miss him dearly. His smile and everything about him – he looked so handsome in this picture. It was a photo I had secretly taken of him during our vacation when he was shirtless, looking at the sunset. I couldn't resist capturing those moments; he looked incredibly attractive. A smile crept across my face as I reminisced about all the wonderful experiences we shared. Despite everything, I couldn't help but still feel love for him. It might sound foolish, but these emotions seem beyond my control. Reflecting on all that I had done fo

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Kelvin's P.O.V The lunch with the receptionist, Marbella (Mara for short or Mirabel, as she informed me), felt somewhat uncomfortable. Once I finished eating, I left the cafeteria mainly because of the discomfort caused by the stares and whispers from the other ladies there. I was used to this attention, but occasionally it got creepy and disturbing. All I wanted was to enjoy my meal in peace, nothing else. Heading back to the office, I noticed Stephen sorting some things out. She looked up and smiled at me, the same warm smile she had given earlier before I went to the cafeteria. It struck me as unusual, but I didn't dwell on it for long. Soon, a female staff member informed me that the department manager was calling for me. I excused myself, informing Stephen, who nodded in response. As I made my way to the manager's office, the staff member who had alerted me latched onto me and gave me a weird smile, which made me feel uncomfortable. However, her appearance wasn't relevant

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Kelvin's P.O.V I sat down on the floor beside my boss, the sassy woman, who was still asleep. Even in her slumber with her eyes closed, she looked pretty. Her hair cascaded softly against the couch, and her lashes rested gently on her cheeks. As she adjusted slightly on the couch, her lips stretched, creating a charming dimple before returning to their peaceful state. Mesmerized, I watched her sleep, and when I noticed some strands of hair on her face, my fingers instinctively moved to gently brush them away. I found myself unable to withdraw my hand and, instead, it continued down her face, cupping her cheek. My thumb tenderly touched her soft lips, and for a moment, I felt the urge to move closer and kiss her. However, I abruptly stopped myself, realizing how inappropriate and wrong it would be. I let go of her face and stood up, disturbed by my thoughts and actions. "What the hell am I doing? Why the hell would I want to kiss her? it's so wrong, I don't even have any kin

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Anika's P.O.V I was at Laura's place, and we were engaged in a lengthy conversation since it was only us in the house. Lim and Maddy were at school, while Laura's parents were toiling away at their workplaces. "That person is very cold," I expressed to her as we sat on her bed. "Yes, and the most painful part was him lying to his father about the whole situation," she replied. "And his father believed him?" I asked. "Who wouldn't believe their son over a total stranger? and besides he looks like he is spoiled rotten in his house so his father does everything his darling son wants," she retorted, prompting a sigh from me. 'Oh, the endless drama of guys. I'm grateful to escape from it.' I thought. "Let's do something fun," she interrupted my thoughts. "It's been a long time since we last spent time together," she remarked. "What should we do, what do you suggest?" I asked. "How about we go shopping?" she suggested. "Is that necessary?" I groaned as I wasn't excited about the i

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Laura's P.O.V OMG, Steve was kissing me! I never thought it would happen in a million years, but it did. My heart raced as I stood there, frozen, with Steve's hands on my waist and his lips on mine. They were so soft and warm, and I couldn't bring myself to push him away. Eventually, I managed to pull away from the kiss and collect my thoughts. I wanted to ask him why he did it, to scream at him, but my brain froze, and I chickened out at the last moment. "I'm going now," I said hurriedly and walked quickly to my room without looking back at him. Once inside my room, I couldn't face anyone. I felt confused and frustrated with myself for not reacting strongly, like slapping him or yelling. Leaving without doing anything felt unreal. Back in my room, my friends Anika, Lim, and Madison tried to talk to me, but I ignored them. I shut the door, locked it, and screamed into my pillow. 'Why did Steve kiss me?' I thought. I didn't understand my feelings anymore. All my anger seemed to v

CHAPTER NINETEEN

Anika's P.O.V I stared at Richard in astonishment and disbelief. What was he doing at my office and how could he have the audacity to approach me after all the terrible things he put me through? I felt deeply hurt and betrayed as if my heart had been shattered into pieces. Though a part of me wanted to lash out and unleash my anger on him, I managed to remain composed. Why did he choose to come here? I was finally starting to move on from the pain he caused, but his mere presence reignited the memories of our past together. It reminded me of the false love he once portrayed, and how I had been deceived by this monster. After an awkward silence, I finally found the courage to speak. "Why are you here?" I asked, my voice trembling as a tear streamed down my cheek. "Anika," he began, attempting to get closer. "Don't," I whispered, halting him in his tracks. "Don't you dare come any closer to me," I seethed. "I'm sorry," Richard's voice cracked. I wiped away my tears. I needed

CHAPTER TWENTY

Anika's P.O.V "Really?" Richard's voice was filled with happiness over the phone. "Yes, after much thinking and consideration, I realized that I was just being selfish not to give you a second chance. Moreover, everyone deserves a second chance in life," I stated, and I meant every word. "So, you'll forget everything I did to you and accept me back?" he asked. "Yeah," I smiled. "I still can't believe this," he said, and I smiled. "You better believe it." After talking for a while and catching up on things, he hung up, promising to make it up to me and treat me right. I exhaled, still in disbelief that I was back with the love of my life. I was so happy that the guy I once loved and still love was talking to me again. It felt like a dream come true for me. My Richie is back for real, and I didn't see anything breaking us up this time. We were perfect and cute together. I was glad Richard had changed for real, and I was sure he would never break my heart again. I sighed and sm
