I would be lying if I told myself that I don't love Ace. Of course, I do.? If I don't love him that much we will not last for five long years.

I guess, I never got tired of loving him but I got tired of the man he has become.…

Hunger had finally taken over me. Before I went straight home, I headed straight to the nearest fast-food restaurant for a quick meal to satisfy my cravings. I couldn't wait to arrive home and eat since I had nothing to eat inside my room, and if there was anything edible, it needed some cooking which would be tedious against my growling stomach. My baby kicked from my womb and I can't help as tenderness swelled inside me, she too was hungry and couldn't wait to eat chop suey and ice cream which is a…

It was too late to brace myself from the blow, the truth erupted like a bomb, it shattered my whole being. Lying on the cold, hard floor was my life—it was broken, and beyond repair. I was too numb to even respond that I did nothing but stared at her with empty, hollow eyes, incapable of holding emotions. This was beyond any nightmare's description....this was the definition of hell. Hell which Ace should be suffering... Not me. "What happened Doc? My initial blood pregnancy test was negative!"…

Fierce fear gripped through my heart, my air passage tightened and suspended my breath. My knuckles turned pale as my clutch tightened its pressure on the rectangular table, clinging to it for dear life. Impatiently, I waited for the doctor to erupt the news like a volcanic blast. "Please Doc, tell me the truth. Am I dying?" Striking brown eyes framed by thick eyelashes stared intently at me. Doc Tara, the stunning doctor of St. Luke's Hospital,?said nothing. Her fingers nervously smoothened the…

The rain poured with rage on the afternoon sky. The howling wind rattled the window frames. From the gap on the partially open window which I reminded myself to close and still forgotten to do the task, I could see thick mist forming, it depressingly shrouded the view to Amelie's garden which I hoped and prayed was spared from the gloomy weather's wrath—particularly her newly planted babies would still be alive when the frenzy was over. A gust of wind trespassed on the crevice of the window and it…

"Even hell will not accept you, Ace," I told him without filters hoping the words will leave a sting in his cold, black heart. "The Devil will not want a rival in your form," I added, my narrowed eyes never once left his face. "If you hate me that much, just kill me Phoenix. Take my life as a payment for the sins I committed." He replied without even blinking an eye. Maybe I was right, Ace lost his sanity already. I should not wonder, it runs through his family. "Even if I kill you over and over…

I swallow the lump that had formed in my throat as I fought the urge not to burst into tears. My blurred eyes shifted to the paper in front of me and I picked the pen up and held it tightly until my fingers hurt. This is it. My signature holds the key to the other door that will lead me to a brand new life. Soon, I will become a free woman and my soon-to-be ex-husband will forever be out of my life. I should be happy, I thought painfully. I ignored the stabbing pain in my chest and lifted my gaze to…

Did you really think I'd just forgive and forget, no After catching you with her Your blood should run cold, so cold You, you two timing, cheap lying, wannabe You're a fool If you thought that I'd just let this go I never saw Ace so uncomfortable like he did now. His face was beet red. Sweat formed on his temples inside the air-conditioned coffee shop. I even caught him swallowing hard several times which was far beyond normal.?His eyes darted away from mine as he tried to evade the…

His words reverberated inside my thoughts. Each word turned into pointed arrows attacking my heart and reaping it into multiple pieces. I thought I had had enough pain. Well, I was mistaken. As long as I am with Ace, the pain will never stop haunting me. Ace was the first man I ever loved... He, too, was the first love I lost. Indeed, it was true that first love is the sweetest, but no one warned me that the first cut is the deepest. Forgetting him was an impossibly difficult mission I needed to…

"I will miss you, Mom and Dad." I dried the tears that had fallen to my cheeks as I? knelt on the ground where Mom's ashes lay underneath the surface of the earth. I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat and did my best no to wail like a child. Don't cry Phoenix, my inner self tries to console me as I? test how long will I bear the pain without bursting into tears. My fingers placed the bouquet of freshly-picked flowers in front of the tombstone, while my eyes traced the letters carved…
