A broken heart
Robin goes to his bed and lies down, covering his eyes with his hands.“I don’t feel well.”“The thought of Lucy not staying by my side suddenly, worries me, I don’t know why.”“What are you doing, Lucy?”.“Why did you told me to leave from your side?”. “I…..”.He closed his eyes, trying to adjust his eyes to the darkness in the room, though the room wasn’t that much dark as there was one candle lit in the room.A few minutes passed, and then there was a sudden knock on the door.“Are you asleep?” an woman’s voice called from outside the door.He gets up on his feet, and walked over to the side of the door.“Who came at this hour?”.“Noir, is it you?”.“Yes, me.”“Open the door, I have something to talk about with you.”“Uh, okay.”He opens the door slowly. Noir stood there with an half-smile on her face.“Sorry for bothering you.”“No, it’s alright.

First morning in his house
After her mom left, Lucy opens her eyes and gets up on the bed.She stared down at her hands and clenched her fists out of anger.“Why did I had to act out like that for nothing?

I should tell her to sleep on the bed. What’s the time?”.He glanced at his phone to see it’s only 7 in the morning.“Oh shoot!”.“7 o’clock. I need to wake up Lucy so she can get ready for office. But before that I need to do l

What did you use to make it different?”.“Oh, that Billy, our new chef made. He’s hired by your dad for cuisins.”“I see.”“Is Mr. Lee still taking care of our garden like before?” Robin asked with an plain face.“Yes and no at the same time.”“He comes once a week and instead of him, his daughter comes here to tend the garden.”“Oh, when did he had a daughter?”.“After you le

Are you alright?” her mom asked in a frantic tone.Lucy takes a sip of water and puts away her phone.“I’m fine,” she added, wiping away the corner of her mouth.“How did you choke?” her mom asked.“That’s……”.“Nothing.”The article contained the pictures of Robin and Christina hugging onto each other while the party was going on.“He did made it to the headlines, didn’t he?”.“What if my parents find out about it?”.“How will they react to this?

I’m so late.”“I should-“.She heard the nearby whispering of the people who were around her.“Isn’t she the wife of the guy who was seen the other day with other woman?”.“I feel pity for her who has to put up with everything.”Lucy ignored all of their whisperings and kept walking.Suddenly, she bumped into someone.“Ah, sorry.”“Can’t you see where you are going?” a remark came from the other side.She looks up to see Julia standing.Julia patted away the dirt from her dress.She glared at Lucy.“Use your eyes from next time.
