Tasteless Price [ENGLISH]

A wine that tastes sweet is rare, but the bitterness kind of wine is common. The temporary burning sensation in your throat down to your senses brings you an ecstatic feeling.

But those are just temporary emotions.

As the daughter of a winery owner and the CEO for almost 10 years, I'm too eager to make a wine that tastes sweet, something that will let you feel that life isn't that bitter anyway.

But how can I make it if my life itself is not that vibrant? My feelings are the reflection of every formula I make…that's why sometimes it becomes bland, tasteless.

I heaved a sigh as I slammed the door shut and lazily sat on the swivel chair. Confused at everything, I almost smacked the keyboard with my sweaty hand.

“I only used you, Lushiane.”

My head is spinning, remembering those words is like a deep slash of pain by a thousand knives. Leaving me back to my darkest days when no one is there to light up my mood and mend my broken heart.

Do you know how it feels when you are unable to let out your frustrations? It feels heavy, and the pain of it drowns you deeply in the ocean where you can't call for help. It feels like your heart has been twisted by someone until you drew your last breath—and that someone might be the love of your life.

The one who you thought would protect you, always care for you, and love you for the rest of his life is the person who will make your heart scattered in the forest and leave it uncollected with pain.

My heart is lost, maybe because I’m expecting too much…I loved him as much as he loved me. But all he cares about is money.

Trusting him was my biggest mistake.

I glanced at my reflection in the glass walls. My puffy eyes show me how emotionally and physically stressed I am.

I only hope that I can go back in time and choose to avoid him rather than fall in love with him. Because loving him is my greatest regret.

"Believe what you want to think! But one thing is for sure—" his cold eyes met mine. "—you're a fool! You fell for my trick and now, what?! I want to get back the money that your dad stole from us. F*ck everything! F*ck this love! F*ck your feelings! My family shouldn't be treated like that. But because of you, our life becomes sh*t. Do you think I will love you after all the hardships we have been through, Lushiane?”

All he thinks is revenge…money. I got played, he won, I lost, and now, fate wants to play again.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I instantly wiped off my tears and cleared my throat before the door swung open.

“Ms. Meradeltas, the meeting is about to start. Everyone is waiting for you in the conference room.”

The feelings that have been buried a long time ago…get back on track to remind me of what has been done.

“Is he there?”

“Mr. Xalent? Yes, the head engineer is already there, Miss.”
