CLAIRE’s P.O.V.
Three days to go before we leave the country, and a week before Darren and Kate’s wedding day. I shouldn’t have care less, but I can’t help myself. After what Kate had told me at Herrera Corp., I didn’t have a good night sleep.
“We are going to New York! We are going to New York!” Alexa clapped her hands out of excitement.
I didn’t told her about what happened the other day. I lied to her. I said that Darren and I saw each other but the truth is, we didn’t, ’cause I went home right after seeing his new fiance.
I continued to packed my things up, forcing to kick some random thoughts about him. I grabbed my stuffs and stood up in order to put it in my luggage. But as soon as I did, I felt dizziness and I almost loose my balance. Alexa looked at me, worried.
“Are you oka
CLAIRE’s P.O.V. Our plane landed ten minutes earlier than expected. Alexa and I breathed the fresh air, coming from the wide airport. Dad smiled at us as one of the flight attendants help him with his wheel chair.“I’m so excited to see grandma, Claire! I can’t wait to spend some time with her!” Alexa jumped up and down out of excitement.“We are going to see her sooner or later, so please, keep calm.” She just laughed at me before clinging her hand on my arm. We walked towards the airport building, for our grandma was surely waiting for us there.“Grandma!” Alexa ran towards her as soon as she came into our sight.“Alexa! Finally, I met you. You’re making me remember Clara, your Mom.”“Really? Mom look like me?” My heart melted as I thought that Ale
DARREN’s P.O.V.“So, what color do you want to be the theme of our wedding, Darren?” Kate asked annoyingly. She’s been asking me so many questions since we arrived in here. I’m wondering why do I need to participate in this preparation when we already hired a wedding planner and everything.“Anything...” I answered, bored.“But I want you to choose,” she pouted, trying to look cute. I sighed. If this is the price I’m going to pay in order to forget that woman, I’ll be willing to do this rather than suffer silently in pain. I can’t even stand hearing her name. She even had the face to tell me about her leaving the country. I admit it, it did bother me for a moment thinking that she’s leaving and I could never see her again, forever. But after a while, I realized that maybe that decision of hers is for th
DARREN’s P.O.V. After I finished eating, I took my plate downstairs and drink a glass of cold water. I didn’t call Dad for I know that he’s surely busy right now. Besides, I can take care of myself. I can still remember his wide smile when I thanked him earlier. He looked amused, and seeing him happy for the very first time, my heart melted. Maybe I’ve been too stubborn to him lately. I should have considered his feelings when Mom died.“Sir Darren, someone wants to talk to you on the telephone,” one of our maids informed me.“Okay, thanks.” I walked towards the nearest telephone inside of our mansion. I answered it with my voice full of curiosity.“Hello? Who’s this?”“Darren.” I felt shivers run down to my spine when I heard my bestfriend’s cold voice.
DARREN’s P.O.V.“You’re not yourself.” Those words are the ones that Mrs. Katheryn Frias told me for how many times now since I arrived here. Today is the day that we’re gonna shoot our prenuptial photoshoot. Again, I’m with Kate and I still couldn’t decide whether or not to continue this wedding.“Okay, one, two, three, say cheese!” the photographer energetically stated, trying to lighten up the mood. I bet he saw how Mrs. Frias treated me in this event. Kate looked embarrassed because of her mother’s random rants, but I didn’t mind them. They just continue to fired some words towards each other while Kate is glaring towards her mother’s direction. My heart and mind was now fully occupied by the love and doubts I’m feeling for Claire. I’m still hesitating to fight for her beca
DARREN’s P.O.V Before going straight to her tomb, I decided to went at the nearest flower shop first. I picked out and bought some white roses for my mom, for I knew that she wanted this kind of flowers. White as a sign of purity and peace. As soon as I arrived at the cemetery, I parked my car and hopped down, holding the white roses. I inhaled the fresh air, coming from the open and peaceful field of the place. I walked to where she’s currently laying at, before kneeling down on the soft bermuda grasses. “Hey, Mom.” I smiled at her tomb. “I brought something for you.” I put down the flowers before wiping the dirt off on her tomb. “I’m sorry... I haven’t visit you for a while now. So many things happened in my life but still, that wasn’t an enough excuse for me to forget you. I’m really sorry.” I took a deep breath. “You know what? Dad and I are finally talking to each other again. I
DARREN’s P.O.V. I ran as fast as I could not bothering to get a cab or something for I have nothing but an empty pocket. I just continue running towards the path of her house, hoping that somehow like a miracle, I could see her angelic face again. I was running like a mad man, until I finally reached their home. The gates and doors are locked, windows are sealed and you can’t see any bright lights inside.“Claire!” I shouted, waiting for the impossible to happen. “Please open up! I’m here! Please forgive me... I’m sorry...” I trailed off, clutching the bars of their gates. I felt my heart ached as soon as I remember her face the day that she bid her final goodbyes to me. Her heart was badly wounded, and it was all because of me. Sometimes I thought that I should’ve just listen to her at the first pl
DARREN’s P.O.V. Two years had passed. Yes, two fucking years. It already took me a pair of year on finding the girl of my dreams. Time passed by so quickly and I treated each time with my outmost power to search for her. I even hired different private investigators and send them on their respective places–all the states that brings snow to the people. I’m here at Alaska, hoping to see even just a glint or shadow of Claire in here. But I didn’t, even just a single strand of her hair... I exhaustedly lay down on my chair after a long day of skiing trying to have a peace of mind for a while. Sometimes I thought about what if I just give up? But I didn’t want to. Claire is my life. Dad told me that our company is doing very great now even if Mr. Armando Frias decided to sell his shares to one of the members of our board after
DARREN’s P.O.V. It’s been exactly twenty six days since I started to stay here, in front of the mall. I’m still hoping to see her, even if it’s impossible to know if she came here for the thousands of people who passed me by. I’m currently sitting on the bench, taking a sip from my drink. I looked closely enough to the people to identity whether they are my love or not. I’m wearing a hoodie and a sunglasses so that if ever Claire saw me and she’s still mad, she wouldn’t run away just like what she did before. My attention gets fully occupied when I saw someone walking... Like Claire. I instantly stood up, not wanting to missed this chance if ever. I ran after her, grabbed her hand and called her name.“Claire, wait!” I received a hard slapped coming from her.“Who the heck ar
