CLAIRE’s P.O.V.       If I fall, I lose. That’s the first thing I thought when I entered Darren’s world. But if it’s him, I’m willing to take the risk. Having him wasn’t so bad after all. Playing his game is worth it, I’ll admit it. And there’s so much more possibilities that’s waiting for the both of us. But one thing is for sure... And that is I already fallen in love with him.“Where have you been?” Dad asked, as soon as I stepped inside of our house. Thank God he’s fine now.“Uhm... Work?” I answered, unsure.“And what exactly is your work, Claire?” he asked, his voice was full of authority.“I’m still a teacher, Dad.”“Then who sent us those items?” He pointed towards our kitchen table, full of goods and other stuff.“I did.”“How come?”“Dad

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.“I love you.”        He didn’t answer me. He just caressed my back gently, planting an uncountable kisses on my forehead. Although he didn’t say anything, I have a feeling that his actions speaks louder than words. Maybe he loves me too. Just maybe.        I let my tired self be asleep in his embraced. He continue to comb my hair using his fingertips as I slowly drowned myself into a deep slumber.         I woke up the next day feeling a pain in my core. Then I remembered what happened last night. I smile to myself because of that. But Darren wasn’t here by my side anymore. He’s missing, though I didn’t worry too much for I withhold the assurance I needed last night.         I try to look around, only seeing a note at the bedside table. I picked it up before reading it. I blushed as my mind pr

DARREN’s P.O.V.“You know what, let’s talk about this on a more private place,” she stated, faking a smile to those staring children.“Fine.”          I motioned her towards my car. She hopped in, not bothering to ask me for some help. She also put the seatbelt on her own. I’m still looking at her, confused at her latest actions.“Claire...”“Please don’t even start. Let me think for a moment first,” she cuts my sentence off.        I drove to the park, thinking that maybe this could lighten up her mood. After making our way to our destination, we finally stopped. I hoped down, rushing to the other side of the car in order to open the door for her. But she was already out too.“Why are we here?” she asked coldly.“Claire... I’m uh...” I don’t know why I’m stammerin

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.“Wife...”        His eyes were now open, not wide enough but I know that he can see me.“Am I d-deaming?” he asked, smiling to himself. “You look beautiful as ever... I’m sorry for hurting you... I’m sorry...”         I stiffened as he slowly brushed his fingers to my cheeks, wiping my tears away. Is this true? I felt guilty for a moment, knowing that I didn’t listen to him earlier... I should have patiently waited for his response. I shouldn’t have let my stupid emotions get in the way of our relationship.“Please don’t cry...”“Claire! The cab is ready!” Elijah rushed to us.         Darren slowly drowned off to sleep again. I help Elijah assist him inside of the cab. We’re both quiet the whole trip, no one wants to utter another word. Until fina

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.          The moment that I saw Darren standing a few meters away from me, I instantly felt secured. Maybe he did feel the same way as me... Just maybe.“C-Claire...” That voice struggled to pronounced my name.           I turned my gaze upon him, surprise seeing him for the first time after we fought in this place. I tried to uttered some words, but I couldn’t. I can’t believe that Darren will find me right after what happened to us.         He ran towards me before giving me a tight hug. My heartbeats undergo palpitation as soon as his body touched mine. I wanted to say something to him, but I can’t find the right words.“I-I’m sorry...” I heard him whispered.          He set me free from his embrace before looking at me straight in the eyes. I’m still stunne
