Ken’s POVIt’s been a week that I have been working on this problem that I have with Dianne. I want to nullify this marriage before Chelsea learns about it. I couldn’t see her while having this problem. I want to make sure to finish this before visiting her and tell her about it so I can explain.“You don’t have to make up stories just to divorce me” Dianne entered the office saying that.“What do you want?” I coldly asked without paying attention to her.Just a few more steps and everything is done. I can finally set free from her and I have nothing to hide from Chelsea.“You’re acting like we've never been in love with each other”“Are we? I can’t remember”“Don’t make me look stupid. You signed it and so do I---”“And then what? You run away?”She looks stunned when I say that. Of course, she can’t deny that because that is the truth.“That means you were looking for me?”“What do you think?”“I think… you loved me”“You guessed it wrong. I was looking for you to confront you about
Chelsea’s POVWe are on the way to see Zae’s mother and ask about the time that she visited Zae on the night that she died since the guy next door told us his wife had seen her. She might feel that this is a little inappropriate but this is the only way I know to find the culprit.After hitting the doorbell, someone came out.“Who are they?”“We’re looking for Ms. Marissa, is she there?”“Can I ask for your name so I can tell her?”“Sure. I’m Chelsea, Zae's friend and we want to talk to her for a while”“Wait here”After a while of waiting, the helper came back and let us in.As we entered, we saw Zae’s mother in the living room, smoking with her sleeping robe on. She told us to sit in front of her before she squeezed out the cigarette.“You’re Zae’s friend?” she asked.“Yes”“What do you want?” she uninterestingly asked.“We want to ask if you visited Zae on that night that she died”“I did” she answered with no hesitance.“Why?”“Don’t tell me you’re suspecting me as the one who kil
Chelsea’s POV“Come in”Stacey invited me in. We’re meeting at her house since she told me that she has something to tell me. Whatever it is… I have no idea.“Please take a sit”I sat in the couch in front of her and acted as naturally as I could.“You should drink first”She offered me food and drinks too.“Thank you for the offer but I can’t drink juice anymore”“Is that so…”“By the way…what is it that you want to tell me?” I asked.“Did Zae’s mother come to you?”“No”She’ll surely suspect me if I say yes.“Okay… the thing is… she has a voice recording and she’s been using that to blackmail me”“What voice recording?”How did she know about it?“It was supposed to be an audition piece. I wanted to enter showbiz so I could be around Zae and it happened that she’s the veteran actress who partnered with me to do the audition and last minute she decided to change the script and when I delivered that, she secretly recorded it and she’s been using that to blackmail me”“Why didn’t you r
Dale’s POV“Why are you making stories? Stacey is my girlfriend---”“I am not making stories, Chelsea!”“Then what is this?!”“This is the truth! I know that I wasn’t good to you but I can never attempt to kill you---”“Tell me… I am curious about this… you denied that you met the guy who fabricated the pill… where were you then? Why can’t you tell the truth?”“First, I don’t know who that man is! I never seen him and I never brought a pill to him! I can’t to the court where I am because…”“What?”“Because I am having an affair with a politician!”An affair?“You mean a relationship with a married man?”“Let me make that clear, they’re divorced”“That’s pretty valid but that’s not enough to prove me your innocence”“I understand. You have every right to be mad at me. But you know what you made me realize? That was drifting apart. Every day, it gets harder to reach each other and that is because I pushed you away. Because I am obsessed with my career and want only the best for you, I d
“Are you sure you don’t want me to come?” mom asked.“Yeah. I’m good. I want to visit him before I leave the country” I answered.“I am sure that he’ll be very happy to see you”“So am I. I’ll go ahead, Mom. I need to buy flowers before going there”“Sure. Take care”I took my car key and left the house. It’s been a month has passed when we finally sent Stacey to jail. We have enough evidence that could prove all her wrong doings and Ryan also helped up with his testament but he didn’t escape the punishment. He was also sentenced to a short-term imprisonment but he accepted it since he acknowledged that it was a pure mistake that he willingly did because of Stacey.I stopped at a flower shop and bought flowers.“For your lover?”“Eh?”“I’m sorry. I am just curious. White flowers look pretty and neutral. It would fit for anyone”“Oh… is that so… give me a bouquet please”“Sure”She started arranging the flowers and the moment she finished, I paid her.“You don’t want to put some letter
[heavy single gasp]What the…[gasping continues]“Where am I?”“What happened? “I don’t understand what’s happening and I can’t process everything right now. I have to catch my breath.[slowly calms]I look around to see the place and I am sure I am not in my house.This place… looks like a condominium… yes, I am right. The blinds are open and the sunlight is flashing through the transparent big glass wall and I am probably on a high floor.[deep sigh]I wonder how I got here. Did I hook up with a girl last night? Was I drunk??Grr, I’ll figure out everything later. I have to go back now. My fiancée is probably waiting for me.I push myself up from the bed but…“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”“What the---”I rapidly close my eyes again and hoped that it was a mirage. I can hear my heart beating so loud and fast.I took a deep breath before opening my eyes again hoping that something just glitched…[slowly open eyes]“AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”What is happening to me?!! What the f*ck is
Chelsea’s POV[rain pouring out heavily]The weather probably knows what I am feeling right now. It conceals the tears that come out of my eyes.“I missed you, Dale” I whispered.I'm sure he heard me, or he's only an inch away from me. I'm still thinking about him.I visited him every day for days after he was buried, simply to cry in front of his grave, trying to soothe the agony. I'm at a loss for how to divert my attention. How can I ever get past this?I turned to face the ground and felt the rain pour down on me, competing with my tears.[sobbing]Huh? The rain stopped?No. It didn't, but I couldn't feel it any longer. I lift my head and see an umbrella on me, and as I glance back, I see this lovely lady holding it for me. Her beauty had taken my breath away. She was dressed entirely in black, which made her glow, but it was her eyes that drew my attention.Why do those eyes appear so sorrowful and agonized?I'm not sure, but there's something incredibly familiar about her that I
Chelsea’s POV“It was nice meeting you Zae” I escorted her outside and Ken is just there waiting.“I hope this wouldn’t be the last time, I’ll see you again and… I’m sorry about earlier” she apologized.I laugh awkwardly and assure her that everything is great and that I understand. She began going towards her car, where Ken was waiting, and I decided to go inside first to change my clothing.To be honest, I'm still stunned by what happened. I'm perplexed.When I told her I felt at peace after meeting her, she almost kissed me. What exactly was it?It's simply incredibly odd. She was only being herself, but she had a significant impression on me, and I couldn't get upset or throw her out because of her odd gestures.“I missed you”Those phrases keep playing over and over in my head!! She said this before attempting the kiss. I was too surprised to respond right away. Gosh! What exactly is all of this? I'm completely distracted.“Chels” I turned back and it was Ken, “that girl is reall
