1. Divorce?

Sarah seemed unusually cheerful that evening, all because her husband had just texted to say he would be coming home early. That rarely ever happened on a weekday, especially this close to the weekend. Without the slightest suspicion, Sarah hummed happily as she prepared dinner for her husband.Perfect.Once everything was arranged on the dining table, Sarah quickly freshened up, making sure Declan wouldn’t catch the smell of smoke or spices clinging to the clothes she had worn while working in the kitchen. She changed into a cotton home dress patterned with lotus flowers that fit perfectly around her slender figure.The sound of the greeting came with the click of the front door opening. It had to be Declan.“Haiii… honey.” Sarah smiled as she welcomed him. She quickly reached for Declan’s right hand and kissed it before taking his work bag from him and carrying it inside. “Looks like you’re not too busy today. I’m happy to see you home this early.”Sarah followed closely behind him,

2. Still The Same

Two Weeks Earlier...“Let me introduce you to Ms. Natalie. Starting today, she’ll be taking over Mr. Arman’s position as Marketing Manager,” Mr. Julian announced, introducing the beautiful woman standing beside him.Declan froze for a moment, trying to process what was happening right in front of him. His eyes never left the beautiful woman who was smiling back at him. He knew her. He knew her very well.Natalie Carter, a beautiful name for an equally beautiful woman. She had been Declan’s best friend since their school days, the popular girl who had been admired by countless boys back then. Declan had been the only boy who was truly close to her. Wherever Natalie went, Declan was never far behind.It had been nothing more than a simple friendship between two teenagers. But just as people always said, perhaps there was no such thing as a purely platonic friendship between a man and a woman. Usually, one of them ended up developing feelings. Declan was proof of that.He had secretly fa

3. A Strange Feeling

Declan woke from his sleep. He glanced at the red wall clock beside the wardrobe. It was still four in the morning. He blinked slowly, only to realize that the bed beside him was empty and cold. For a moment, he almost forgot that just a few hours ago, he had divorced his beautiful wife.So why did he suddenly feel as though he had lost something?Strange, wasn’t it?He was about to leave the room to get some water when his eyes landed on the large suitcase sitting in the corner. For some reason, he suddenly felt compelled to check the wardrobe. He slid open the glass door. Sure enough… a large portion of its contents was gone.Only his clothes and personal belongings remained. Sarah must have already packed all of her things into the suitcase. The quiet woman must have done it while he slept. Declan sighed softly, trying to push away the strange feeling that had suddenly settled in his chest.“Wake up … you should take a shower first.”“That’s what happens when you work overtime unti

4. Only I Loved

“Morning, Ms. Sarah. Wow… what brings you here this early?”Mr. Harry, one of the security guards assigned to watch over the row of shop lots where Sarah’s salon was located, greeted her with surprise.“Morning, Harry. Some workers are coming to renovate the second floor today, so I wanted to get things ready first.” She answered with a small smile.Sarah was only telling a half truth. She really was expecting several workers to come in and renovate the salon, and she needed to give them some directions. But they weren’t scheduled to arrive this early. She had deliberately come to the salon before dawn because she needed to keep herself from losing control every time she saw Declan. The man who had divorced her less than twenty-four hours ago for a reason she considered completely ridiculous. He didn’t love her.Sarah clicked her tongue bitterly every time she thought about her ex-husband’s absurd excuse. Weren’t there plenty of happy marriages that had started as arranged marriages w

5. Possibilities

For the past four days, Declan had felt that something was off with his emotions. Several times, he had been overwhelmed by deep sadness and guilt, only to feel the complete opposite not long after. Declan could only come to one conclusion, his separation from Sarah was the reason behind his emotional ups and downs. Perhaps it was only temporary, a result of having to readjust to a new situation.Just like last night, when Declan saw Sarah returning from the salon. Once again, Sarah barely spoke to him, other than greeting him when she entered the house or asking permission to enter his room. Yes, Sarah actually asked Declan for permission to enter a room that was technically still hers, too.“Can I come in? I left some of my clothes there,” Sarah said, making Declan, who was sipping his coffee, stare at her in surprise.Declan let out a long sigh. “Just come in, Sarah. That’s your room too.”“Not anymore,” Sarah replied, keeping her gaze lowered.“If you don’t want to
