Chapter 2: IN BETWEEN THE THREE Kelvin stopped at the entrance of the hotel he had seen in the picture, he looked at it coldly, but calmly though the fingers in his pockets were clenched tightly.After taking a deep breath, he walked into the hotel without thinking too much but was left helpless as he realised he didn’t even know where he could find Diana as the picture didn’t show that.He could see the waitress carrying drinks around the hall looking like they were in a hurry and no one even stopped to ask him if he needed something. After some thought, he decided to look around first and if he still couldn’t find her, he would think about something else—“Miss Diana is really a great woman, I wasn’t expecting her to really pull this off. I really envy her..”Kelvin paused in his footsteps, his body stiffened and he turned slowly only to realise the one who had spoken was a woman on call, he raised an eyebrow in deep thought but seeing the woman had begun to walk away, he followed

Chapter 4: A DEVASTATING INCIDENT Kelvin stood there as he watched Diana walk away with Harry. He didn't call out to her or chase after her, he looked at their backs until he could no longer see them, then he lowered his head and let out a hopeless smile, but then it turned into laughter. He laughed at himself, at everything that had just happened, he found it funny, but the laugh wasn't cheerful, it was—Cold, cheerless and depreciating.He let out an exhausted sigh, raised his head high, and without looking at the people who continued to whisper to each other as they looked at him with all sorts of gazes but most of all—Sympathy.He chuckled calmly as he walked out, “Even an outsider can see clearly, but you still can't.” he muttered and continued to walk out in heavy steps.***Kelvin knocked on the door of Elsie and waited with a calm expression on his face. He had no emotions on his face and it was like he had only gone out to get something and had not just experienced a devasta

Chapter 6: THE GUILT Kelvin's eyes pierced through Diana whose head was bowed in remorse. He could feel her sadness and guilt and though he didn't want to do this anymore, her last word had hit him hard. He hasn't forgotten that Mia was their daughter, and they both had equal rights on her, when he thought of the crying face of his daughter who had pleaded with her mother not to leave her, Kelvin’s heart couldn't help but clench in pain.He swallowed hard, closed his eyes tight, clenched his fist, though he already knew the decision he would make, something inside him wasn't willing, but, his little world, Mia…“She wouldn't be happy, she would cry for her mother, and might even hate me. I can't let her hate me.” Kelvin thought, opened his eyes back, and looked at the woman he had given his whole best to, and let out a resigned sigh which was heard by Diana.Diana immediately raised her head fast, her red pitiful eyes stared at him like her world would collapse if he left her. “Thi

Chapter 8: JUST SETTLED Diana stood at a loss, she stared dumbfoundedly at Harry and felt so confused. Her body froze as she looked at the healthy Harry and the woman he had called his mother. Suddenly, his words settled in her brain and she snapped out of it, her brows furrowed as she parted her lips, “No, I am—” “Diana!” Harry, who had guessed what Diana was about to do, cut her off, making her even more confused.She looked at Harry with so much confusion, then realised he was trying to tell her something, but it seems he didn't want his mother to hear them. Harry smiled at his excited mother, then turned to hug Diana and whispered in her ear, “Please, can you help me this one last time?” He gritted his teeth then explained, “My mother had a severe heart condition. She is gravely ill, and before passing away, her last wish is to see my girlfriend” he said sadly.Diane gasped in shock, her eyes turned sad and when she looked at the kind woman standing at the door still smiling a

CHAPTER 10 – THE FOOTAGEThe glass trembled in Patrick’s hand as the screen replayed for the fifth time. He wasn’t breathing anymore... just watching, jaw clenched so tight it could’ve cracked bone.The curtains were drawn tight in Patrick’s private suite, shutting out the city’s lights. Only the glow of the massive screen on the wall lit the room, casting restless shadows across the marble floor... replaying the grainy motel footage he had just received. Only one man in the city had access to the motel CCTV system... the fucking owner of course. A greasy rat who owed Patrick more than a few favors. That rat had sent the footage over earlier with a message: “Boss, thought you’d want to see this.”Patrick wanted to strangle him for sending it. And thank him for sending it. And smash the whole damn computer for showing it.Patrick sat forward in the leather armchair, one elbow on his knee, fingers pressed hard against his mouth. His jaw worked like he was chewing glass.On the screen, J
