The lost boy

Chapter 1 The lost boy

In a small, quaint village nestled amidst rolling hills, a sense of tranquility usually permeated the air. However, on a misty morning, the calm was shattered when young Timothy, a curious and adventurous boy of ten, went missing. The village buzzed with worry as he parents, Mr and Mrs. Thompson, frantically searched for their beloved son.

Chapter 2: The Search Begins With heavy hearts and minds filled with worry, the villagers rallied together to form search parties. They combed through the dense forests, calling Timothy's name in hopes of a response. The village constable, Mr. Harris, took charge of the operation, ensuring no stone was left unturned. Hours turned into days, but there was no sign of the lost boy.

Chapter 3: A Whisper in the Wind As hope dwindled, a peculiar rumor began circulating among the villagers. Some claimed to have heard a faint whisper in the wind, a voice that resembled Timothy's. Whispers of hidden pathways and secret adventures floated through the village like ethereal specters. Though skeptical, the villagers couldn't ignore the tantalizing possibility of their lost boy being alive.

Chapter 4: Following the Clues Determined to find Timothy, a group of villagers decided to investigate the whispers. They delved into old manuscripts and listened to stories passed down through generations. It was said that deep within the forest, there lay an ancient tree, rumored to possess mystical powers. Legend had it that those who approached the tree with a pure heart could unlock its secrets.

Chapter 5: The Enchanted Tree Guided by the tales of lore, the search party ventured deep into the forest, their hearts pounding with a mix of trepidation and hope. After hours of navigating through winding paths and thick foliage, they stumbled upon an awe-inspiring sight-a towering oak tree, its branches reaching toward the heavens. Its gnarled bark seemed to whisper secrets of forgotten times.

Chapter 6: Unraveling the Mystery Gathering around the tree, the search party noticed a small opening at its base. Heartbeats quickened as they cautiously stepped inside. The air grew hushed, and a gentle glow enveloped them, as if the tree itself welcomed their presence. Symbols etched on the walls hinted at a hidden world beyond their understanding, while a soft breeze carried the sound of distant laughter.

Chapter 7: A Glimpse of Hope Deep within the heart of the enchanted tree, the search party stumbled upon a forgotten chamber. And there, sitting amidst a bed of moss, was Timothy, his eyes wide with wonder. He recounted his extraordinary journey-a path that led him through secret tunnels and mysterious realms, where he met magical creatures and encountered tests of courage. Though he yearned to return home, Timothy discovered a part of himself that he never knew existed.

He has all the traits that you wished for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's inlove. He's inlove with her. For him, she was the completion of his dream, a perfect wife and a mother to be with his children. He would give her everything including his own life. He would sacrifice his world for her. But she left him. She betrayed him. She broke his heart into pieces. And he turned into a cold, heartless, rude and an arrogant billionaire, who would do everything to show her that she's no longer important into his life. Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing. His heart still aching for her. And that's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfill my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. He offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "She's pregnant." He blurted out and i almost stumbled on where i am standing. I just gripped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart is unbearable but i managed to stay calm. "Wow! Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement as i remembered him saying... -cheating would not be the reason to break our marriage- of course i couldn't accuse him of this as 'cheating' because she was the real reason why we are pretending as a couple. He still love her. He's still inlove with her. And that's when i made the biggest decision in my life. Taking all my strength and a piece of my heart that still hanging on a thin rope... I left him. Taking also my biggest secret in me... that i've already fallen inlove with him. And somehow i learned a lesson; 'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who still inlove with his ex and who only uses you to get her back again into his life..'
