Bea's past still affects her no matter how hard she tries to forget it. She still couldn't bear to be in the same room with them not because she was still in love with Austin, but rather because the guilt was still there. Yes, they already had talked about it before and had closure but Bea was trapped and had no courage to face them, not when she just started to hang out with Anna. She's trying to make new friends but her fear of condemnation hunts her. Anna seemed to know Lauren. They know each other, and that makes Bea run with fear in her heart. But deep within her soul, a small part of her wished and hoped that Lauren would at least keep it a secret from Anna. Or could it be that Anna knew already about it? Could it be the reason why in the first place, she's aloof to her?"Stop overthinking, Bea."She murmured to herself while walking absentmindedly on the street, holding the paper bag they bought a while ago. But her mind couldn't stop from having wild, negative, and worst scen

"Happy birthday, Simon."Everyone Simon passes by greets him a happy birthday."Thank you."He would reply and then move again to the next table to check his visitors. He was only planning to invite his colleagues and some close friends but he ended up inviting almost everyone for an unknown reason. It's his day, so he'll definitely let everyone enjoy and rejoice with him. "Simon! How are you, dude? Long time no see."Mark, his cousin. He clearly remembers that he didn't send him an invitation so he wonders how he was able to come inside."Mark!"He approached him and did a fist bump. "I thought you're still in Singapore?"He asks. Mark is known as a trouble maker, so his parents send him to Singapore to reflect on the damages he's been giving his family. But it seems like Mark didn't learn anything at all. "I came straight here. How could I let your party pass, right?"Simon forced a smile as he tapped his shoulder and whispered."Don't even think of ruining my party."He reminds

"Sorry about what happened last night."It was too early in the morning when Evan called Simon for news."Where is he?"Pertaining to the guy who harassed her girlfriend."He's in jail now. Don't worry, I made sure that it won't be easy for him to get away from this. How's Bea?"Evan turned and gazed at Bea who was peacefully asleep in bed. His lips formed into a smile, remembering that they were now official."She's totally fine. Anyway, just update me if anything happens. I gotta go.""Sure, bro."He ended the call and sat on the bed and stared at his sleeping girlfriend. He fixed the strand of hair on her face. Asking how he got himself such a beautiful and lovely woman."You're still beautiful even when you're asleep."He opened his phone camera and took a stolen shot of her. He immediately hides his phone when Bea moves."Hmm,"She groaned as she opened her eyes. "Good morning,"and gave her a kiss on her forehead. She was shocked at first and was about to kick him for doing tha

Bea had been rolling back and forth in her bed, with the lights off, yet still couldn't get herself to sleep. She even had done almost all sorts of positions she could think of, yet her soul was driven by her fantasies with Evan, leaving her widely awake. They had already gone home to Evan's condo after staying in his resthouse for two days and one night."Urgh."She groaned and sat with a long face. "Who the heck is Lineth?"She mumbled with frustration. She clearly told herself not to think about it too much, but her mind seemed to be always swayed by the wind. There are things we want to not think about too much, yet make us anxious all the time, uncontrollably. "Okay. Bea, breath."She closed her eyes and then inhaled deeply, redirecting her focus onto something else, setting her mind at peace from all the useless thoughts that kept on bugging her, nonstop. Bea knew to herself that jealousy is her weakness. Maybe, because she's tired of losing the people around her. She's tire

For Bea, an arranged marriage is just like a fairy tale seen in movies; she had no idea that this practice was still prevalent today. She had been staying with Anna in her condo for days on end. She won't let her depart from her side."Why are men so stupid, Bea? I have already told Simon, clearly as crystal, to quit fantasizing about getting me back in his life. Yet, why does he still keeps on sending me flowers?"Anna grumbled while holding another bouquet from a delivery guy."Can't you still not forgive him?""Hmp, where did he get his luck?"Bea shook her head in disbelief while hearing Anna retorted proudly, yet her expressions said otherwise. It was clear to her that Anna loves Simon too, no matter how hard she tries to push the guy away. But Anna seemed to like being chased."Wait, this is for you."Anna handed her the bouquet of flowers. Bea took it with a perplexed expression."Maybe he already got tired of chasing after me, Bea. Simon no longer loves me. What should I do?"
