Keerah's POV,"shit happens sometimes," Eric said, and I remained silent, thinking about what could have caused them to break up, even though I know he was probably head over heels for her when they dated because even now I feel he still loves her from the way he was talking about her."You still love her, don't you, that's the reason why you said you couldn't fall in love with me right"? I uttered in a soft voice, more in a statement like than a question, but Eric remained quiet.His silence held more answers than his words would ever tell, and that made me feel like shit.Even though I didn't want to admit to myself, a huge part of me was silently hoping that Eric would fall in love with me, but seeing how much he still loves his Ex, I don't think I stand a chance I'm just going to remain an island fling to him.The thought that I was just someone Eric used as an island fling to get over his Ex, made me feel a sort of tightness in my chest, a feeling I only get after having a nightm
Keerah's POVThe drive from Eric's house to where we were going was a short and silent one which was not my ideal expectation of what would happen as we went out to have fun.Eric parked his car in the parking lot of a place that had different forms of stuff, which made the place looked like a huge playground.Nobody was within sight just me and Eric and he was about to get out of the car when I quickly reached out my hands and grabbed his stopping him midway to opening the car door.He stared at our hands and then raised his head to slowly stare at me when I called his name slowly."Eric," I said slowly, the way I called his name, making it sound like it was holding thousands of messages within it.The look in my eyes saying thousands of words that I couldn't let past my mouth."I...," I said then paused and took a deep breath before deciding to continue..."I...," I started to say again, deciding to confess how I truly feel about him, but then the words didn't leave my mouth, it's l
Third person's POV.Jade got out of the bathroom after taking a quick shower, she entered her room and ransacked through her wardrobe to find something to wear.Most of her clothes are dirty and scattered on the floor of her living room because she hadn't done laundry for the past one month.The only wearable clothe she could find in her wardrobe was a mini wine red dress that Eric had gotten for her when they were still together.She knew wearing that dress would make her look so pathetic in front of him, but she couldn't care less, so she picked up the dress and throw it on, before leaving her apartment to go to his house hoping she would see him there.***Whereas at the Duke Walter's mansion, Akeerah's mom was still sobbing uncontrollably while Damien hugged her while he stood there thinking about how the stories don't match up.Because just a few days ago, they received a call from the detectives that they got a lead on the kidnappers, so why would they suddenly call and tell the
Eric’s POV,"You still love her, don’t you, that’s the reason why you said you couldn’t fall in love with me right"? Keerah uttered in a soft voice, more in a statement like than a question, but I remained quiet.I didn’t know what to say to her. I couldn’t outwardly deny her accusations, because what she said aren’t entirely a lie, neither are they the complete truth.Since I couldn’t tell Keerah I still love jade, and I couldn’t deny and say I don’t, I decided to just tell her something that might be believable.However, before I could say it, she quickly said I shouldn’t worry about it, and that I didn’t have to answer her question.I could clearly hear the disappointment from the way her voice sounded, but I know she was trying to act okay."Hey, that’s not the reason why I said that, I just didn’t want you to expect anything from our relationship, it’s not because I still love her," I said, breaking the ice like silence.Keerah remained quiet not even a word left her mouth at wha
Keerah’s POVWhen we got home from the park, we were met by someone strange who was standing by the house entrance.Although what was weirder was the look on Eric’s face when he saw the person.I was ecstatic after the fun we had only a few minutes ago, but little did I know that the happiness would only last until we were back at the house.The person standing by the door was a girl with striking facial features with beautiful green eyes, who was wearing a red gown that was just above her knees.When we were walking back to the entrance to the house from the garage, I wasn’t really looking forward, I was staring down at our hands that had been intertwined together since we left the car, but when Eric stopped abruptly, I looked up to stare at his face and ask him why he stopped, but the look on his face as he stared forward with a hard face was what made be turn my face to see what he was staring at.I didn’t understand why he would freeze because he saw someone, so when I looked up I
Third person’s POV,Eric ended the call with Harry after telling him he was coming over to the crime scene.So he hurried to throw his clothes back on before leaving while yelling a few profanities.He knew it probably had something to do with his father because that man does everything he can just to mess up his life, or so he thought.Eric had forgotten about the events that just occurred as the only thing in his mind was the fact that he couldn’t believe his father could do something like that to his innocent team leader.Park Min was very close with Eric, and Eric knew some of his family members. Park Min was from South Korea but he and his family migrated to Australia only a few years back due to some business his family wanted to set in Australia.Eric couldn’t believe his father would play dirty, because the rule of the Molis Mafiosa was not to harm anyone who isn’t holding a gun.But also he knows Molis Rick, he knows he can do anything even play dirty tricks just to achieve w
#previous chapter And why are you people searching for her in the bodies of the dead as if you were told she’s already dead," Damien said again and both the detectives looked at each other confused before looking back at Damien who had now moved closer to the body to check who it was even though he knew it wasn’t her even before he raised the covers.When Damien raised the covers, he yelled "shit!," at the gruesome sight in front of him before quickly covering it back and then turning to glare at the two detectives because he knew it wasn’t Keerah the moment he opened the covers."You guys better do a great job and find her from among the living because she’s not dead and you should know that," Damien said monotonously before getting out of the scene and going back home to inform Mr and Mrs Duke Walter that their daughter is still alive and that she was going to be found no matter what because he was going to make sure of that.Eric’s POVAfter I dropped the call with Harry only one
Keerah’s POV,I decided to go back to my room, but before I climb up the stairs, the front door flew open and Eric walked in looking a little distorted.I stared at him for only a few seconds before turning my face around and started to climb up the stairs."I’m sorry," He yelled from the doorstep where he stood, and I stopped slightly but did not turn to look at him, and then I continued up the stairs as he didn’t say any more words."He couldn’t seriously be expecting me to be jubilant of his miserly apology that held no meanings in it right," I let out feeling furious that he didn’t try to stop me again for the second time when all he needed to do was that and I would forget all about being mad at him.Maybe I should have told him I want to go home, and that I don’t want to continue staying with him since our relationship seems to have no future whatsoever.I can’t believe he would abandon his current girlfriend and take off with his ex; someone who had done nothing but hurt him.I
