BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

JAMES’ POV

” I will not tell you this again, so you better let go of my girlfriend’s hand. ” the guy who held Alexa’s other hand said.

I was shocked after hearing what he said, so I loosened my hold on Alexa’s other hand. Alexa looked into my eyes and seemed shocked that I am pain because of what I had heard. Of course, I would be hurt because she was the only woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But due to the situation of our family-owned company, I let her go to save our business. The guy holding Alexa immediately grabbed the opportunity to grab Alexa away from me. I just looked in their direction until my eyes could not see them anymore.

” Leave them alone. ” Rhea threatened me and then passed me through.

I smiled bitterly because of what had happened. I am too late already. I was late fixing the problem faced by my family and returned to the woman I love the most. Due to the pain, I am feeling right now, I have decided to skip class and just went back to my condo. I cannot imagine how I could bear the pain if I saw them full of happiness. I lay down on my bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. I can still remember the day Alexa and I broke up.

*** FLASHBACK ***

” I love him more than you. No, scratch that. I love him the most and you have no space in my heart anymore. ” Alexa’s words really have emphasis.

I can clearly see the anger in her eyes. Will she not let me explain my side? Perhaps my explanation is pointless, especially since she already loves someone else. I forced myself to smile at her.

” Then I am letting you go. I am happy that before I get married, you find already the man who will love you. Goodbye, Alexa ” I said bitterly, and my heart broke into pieces.

I could not endure seeing her reaction, so I ended the call. Our relationship is ended. It is officially finished.

* knock knock *

” Get out of here, James. Have some embarrassment to Mr. Gomez. ” I heard my father shouting outside my room.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I smiled bitterly and started fixing myself. I am sure if my father saw me in this state, he would indeed punch me in the face. When I went outside my room, I did not bother to look at him and went straight to the dinner party, which I left when Alexa called. I sat on the bar stool and drank the wine in the front. You cannot blame me; I am just a heartbroken man. I was drinking a wine bottle when someone grabbed the bottle I was holding. I felt dizzy when I looked at who did that. I laughed bitterly when I recognized her, my fiancée, Rebecca Gomez.

” What did you think your doing? Stop this already. ” she said angrily.

” You do not know anything. The woman I love the most left me because she already knew about us, so gave that bottle back to me. ” I angrily said before I tried to grab back the bottle, but I failed. The worst thing was I fell into the ground.

” Stand up, James. ” she said while trying to help me stand up.

” Why are you still so nice to me? ” I asked out of nowhere.

” It is because I am really nice. If you want to win her back, you need to fix yourself then fix your company’s problem as soon as possible. ” She said while giving me an encouraging smile.

” How about you? ” I asked, but it sounded like a whisper.

” Do not worry about me. We did not love each other. Besides, I am sure with this beauty of mine, I could find the right one for me. So you! You told me that she is the one for you, so you should fix yourself and win her back. ” she said and then helped me to stand. Those words she said to me hit me with realization and brought me to reality.

” Thank you. ” I sincerely thank her.

She just smiled at me and helped me to walk towards my room. She left with no words to say when I finally laid down to bed.

” Wait for me, wife. I will be back. ” I whispered before I fell into sleep.

*** END OF FLASHBACK ***

I spent the whole time abroad to help my father establish our business again. It took more than one and a half years of waiting and working, but it is alright because I am also doing this for the woman I love. I still asked for news about her in the Philippines, so I know that she does not have a new boyfriend yet. And about the supposed wedding, Rebecca helped me to convince our families to stop the marriage. When we got the approval, I immediately grabbed the opportunity to return here to the Philippines, but I had already returned so late. My thoughts ended when I heard my cell phone ringing. Tsk, what did this girl need this time?

“Hello! “I irritably greeted her.

“Ow, is that how you greeted your future sister-in-law? “she said while laughing, which irritated me more. This girl is really getting crazy.

“She is happy with her boyfriend, now. “I coldly told her. I heard things being broken on the other line. Is she starting to lose herself?

“What did you say? Boyfriend? She had a new boyfriend. “She angrily asked me.

“Yes, the name of the guy is Ken Andrew Valenzuela. “I said. I even heard how she cussed terrible words and then laughed eventually. Is she really crazy?

“Destroy their relationship, “she said, but it sounded like a command to obey.

“No, she is happy already. I do not want her to be hurt. “I refused her command.

“Let us put this way, make a way to destroy their relationship, or you will not see her alive again. “she said, threatening me.

“Do not dare to touch, Alexa. “I said angrily to her.

“I am giving you the option, tear them apart or she will die, “she said, giving me goosebumps. I have also heard her horrible laughter on the other side. Crap, this girl is so devilish.

“Remember I can see your action, anywhere and anytime. Try to tell her this secret and she will eventually die. “she said, threatening me again. She did not let me to talked because she ended the call after she said those words. I need to protect Alexa no matter what happens.

THE GIRL’S POV

I ended my call with James. I smiled; it was really fun playing with their lives on my hand. Taste the revenge of the forgotten. If you are wondering why I am angry with Alexa, she has a big sin against me.

“I will take away everything from you, Alexa. Everything. I will not leave anything to you, especially Ken. I will take everything back. All things that should be mine. ”
