Days passed and Achilles remained to be cold as a block of ice to me. After that day he didn’t try to talk to me like he promised, his treatment never changed, or more got worsened. Well, it’s better this way for me, I was trying to distance myself from him as well.   Despite his behavior toward me, I have proven my emerging feelings for him. My heart beats so fast whenever I got too near him, that often happens every morning if we’re both in the kitchen. It’s kind of awkward, or maybe just for me.   I have never been too conscious of my physical appearance even if a man lingers around, just now. Like today, seeing my reflection in the mirror made me a bit uncomfortable, I was wearing a white dress and has very light makeup on my face. I just put some blush and gloss for my lips, my eyelashes were curled naturally so I don’t have to make efforts for it enhancing my hazel eyes. I let my big curled hair fall, making me look mo

As we proceeded to the game, the first spin stops with Cassie. “Truth or dare?” Caleb asked. “Truth,” Cassie replied cheerfully. I opened the beer I took and drink it. “Do you like someone, cousin?” Caleb asked. “Of course, to be honest he’s just in front of me right now.” I almost choke myself with the beer I was drinking. Seriously? That loud? Is she purposely letting Achilles hear it? “Woah, that was too straightforward, I was only hoping a no or yes for an answer, but you indirectly pointed out who he is.” Caleb retorted and chuckled. My forehead creased as I took a short glance at Caleb to see his reaction, as expected his face was blank. Was he happy that Cassie likes him? The game went on and obviously, Caleb

The cold wind embraces me as I went out of the veranda, the dark sky greeted me and some stars were visible shining, standing out in the darkest of the night. I put my gaze to the ocean with its waves sending back and forth restless to the land, the way it moves uncontrollably made me smile. It’s like it’s trying to communicate with me, and it completely understands, gives sympathy to what I am feeling inside. My eyes landed on the two shadows sitting on the bench and for the second time today, my heart hammered in pain. Why do I feel like the game isn’t starting yet I already lose it? I turn around, I don’t wanna see them anymore. As tears started to pool again, I hush myself and went directly to my bathroom in front of a mirror. I glared at my reflection and wipe the tears immediately before they could fall. Come to your senses, Jada. You are not here to build any romantic feeli

As I watched them enter the penthouse, I felt my knees weaken but I managed to walk towards the bench near the seaside. I can’t believe it, she went that far so that Achilles make his choice? Unbelievable, she’s gone insane, she probably loves Achilles so much that she didn’t bother to think twice to take her life. No, let me rephrase it, she’s obsessed. No one in their proper state of mind will do it. I shouldn’t have trusted her, it was her plan since the moment she apologized. How naive I was to be fooled. As the cold wind embraces me, I hug myself calming myself from the throbbing pain building inside. While watching the ocean go back and forth, its tranquility fully vanished and was replaced by an uncontrollable wave. I thought everything will be fixed tonight. I thought the weather will finally find its peace, but no, it’s exactly the opposite, the storm quickly approach when I least expected it.It’s getting cold, especially since I was

Two weeks had passed and we stayed in Mr.Kiko’s hut. We’ve decided to stay here for our safety, the island isn't safe for us if we’ll go back to the penthouse. Mr.Kiko’s place is hidden in the middle of the forest and it’ll be hard for them to find us here. I tried my best to remain cold to Achilles, he kept on apologizing but I didn’t budge. I wasn’t that kind of woman who’ll quickly melt just because of his looks, apologies aren’t enough without actions, that’s what matters most. Not because I like him, he’ll be exempted on my principles as a woman. Besides, I realized that liking him is the last thing I should do right now and focus on my battle instead. “Jada are you ready?” Mr. Kiko asked. I glanced at my right leg, it was healed already but there are times that an excruciating pain hunts me. Mr.Kiko s
