Where it all went wrong

prologue

Nash turned his gaze to the sea AGAIN when he saw his brother Nathan sitting on the adjacent wooden lounge.

"Don't tell me that there are so many sexy chicks here on the beach that you don't pay any attention, Nash?" Nathan still yelled at him. he even smiled at a woman who passed in front of them whose chest was almost bulging from wearing a two piece. "It's a girl who makes you cute but you still don't care. Why did I have a brother as stupid as you? Tsk. Should I blame him for entering the seminary?"

"Just don't mind me," he said to his older brother before wearing the dark shade on his eyes. He looked around slightly. It's not as crowded as it is crowded at VF Beach and Resort in the town of San Andres. Their family owned that paradise Iugar.

he rarely goes there because he prefers to stay at their hacienda. If his older brother hadn't forced him to go along with it

at the resort he was definitely not there. He would rather take care of the hacienda than enjoy the outside world like Nathan. Happy go lucky.

"You're welcome, Kuya Nash, have fun from time to time. It's not that you're always serious about life. You're not getting any younger, remember. So learn

enjoy."

When it teases, it calls him

'Kuya', he looks better because he is more matured

than here. she is only twenty-nine and Nathan is thirty-one. Since he doesn't take life seriously, so far no one can introduce a serious girlfriend to their parents. On his case, his brother is the opposite. since he has served in the church for several years, he feels that even having a relationship is sacred. He just lost the desire to pursue seminary when his grandfather died, since he came home to them he has not returned to seminary.

his meditation was interrupted when he noticed the woman immediately looked away when he turned to where she was. Because she was wearing a shade, she was able to observe him freely. He couldn't deny that his ex was too strong, that's why even his pet reacted. at least he knows how to appreciate God's grace.

And he doesn't know why he doesn't seem to want to take his eyes off her beautiful face if his big brother Nathan doesn't react.

"Do you see the core of the sexy and beautiful woman in the red two piece? damn, that's how a woman is made up. You'll see, I can date that too. Or I'll be with him later." There was a smile on his lips as he kept his eyes on the woman who got up and went to the sea to bathe. The woman he was looking at before Nathan took the scene.

Shaking, he washed the palm of his brother's face, who barely blinked at the woman who was walking away. He seemed to want to cover the woman's body because even his Kuya Nathan was almost drooling.

Aren't you, Nash? even mock a part

"Sometimes it's not just a woman's job

"Mo," he looked at her before looking at her. He just chose to lie down. But his eyes remained fixed on the woman who couldn't take his eyes off of him. What's wrong with this and even he himself couldn't stop staring. this?

He took the towel he was carrying and placed it in front of his manhood which was still hard. Damn, what's with him? Why did his body react that way to that woman?

chapter 01

Joanna turned her face to the window of the plane she was on, she was going to the Philippines from New York. Until that moment, there was still a trace of deep sadness on her beautiful face.

He is saddened by what happened to his best friend Ivy. and until now he still can't accept the loss of his best friend who he considers almost a real brother.

Three weeks ago, his brother, Shin, admitted to him that his friend's life would not last much longer, which shocked him a lot. he had brain cancer and it was less than four months ago when Ivy's symptoms appeared. What's worse is that it's stage four right away. At first it was a constant headache. I thought it was just caused by

being a workaholic but only when the pain got worse did he consult a doctor. And the result of seeing it is to shock its world.

even from him, his friend kept his illness a secret, so when he visited him at the hospital where he was, his condition was very bad. If his brother hadn't informed him of his condition, he wouldn't have known. So from Norway where he is

based, he immediately went to Ivy in New

York. Far away from her beautiful face and sexy body, he saw that he felt sorry for her. The last time they were together was last year when he visited her for vacation.

he is like his brother, he treats him the same way. So it's just like that if he is affected by what happened here. Since he is an only child. Because in the Philippines back then, they were together since elementary school. They just separated

when they both went to college. Her mother took her and educated her in Norway, but that was not an obstacle because their communication continued until Ivy's family migrated to New York when she graduated from college.

Because of what happened to her friend, Joanna left her mother's job and business in Norway for a while. They own a Jewelry Store, and the two of them and their mother, Mila Cross, design each jewelry collection they release, she is a retired nurse in Norway. because of the influence of his step-father Henry Cross, he and his mother became more familiar with their business. It also has a branch in London.

At the same time as he closed his eyes, he remembered the reason why he went straight to the Philippines instead of back in Norway...

"Before I d-die, Joanna," said Ivy in difficulty

voice "C-Can you do... do me a f-favor?"

He really wanted to hold his friend's hand but he couldn't for fear of hurting him. He couldn't even hug her because her thin body was already very sensitive. Even though he was in tears, he tried not to let the tears fall from his eyes. He stood firm in front of her.

He nodded. ((At least, Ivy. As long as you're having fun.'' He forced a smile. He closed his eyes first

Little opened his eyes.

"I-I want tom-make even to him. Joanna, I'm s-sorry. I didn't... I didn't tell you that

n-I had a secret affair b-before. But not

that took time. I want him to feel you

s-sick when he left me, Joanna. P-Go visit him in San Andres. The V-Villa Franca family is well known there. their p-eldest son avenge me s-for him. Loved him a lot and gave him everything but... but cheated and just left me. Until now

s-it's still very painful..." he slowly closed his eyes. May

tears still flowed from the side of his eyes. That's a sign that it's still hurting.

He doesn't know that. That someone hurt too much here. Because he is very happy and almost everything he tells him is all happy things that happened here. And San Andres is the neighboring town in his province. He would have asked his friend if

that was the name of the man he was referring to when he heard the small sound from the life monitor

its support. It was as if his soul suddenly fled

from what he saw, he was seeing a flatline in his life support

ivy

((Ivy," he said quickly looking back at his friend. it no longer breathes. His chest tightened. ((N-No. 'Don't please, Ivy!!!') he almost gestured to his friend. That's when his tears started to fall one after the other. He couldn't

even stopped himself from hugging his lifeless friend. ((Ivy!"

AFTER Ivy's body is cremated, the friend's ashes will remain in New York for forty days before being brought back to the Philippines according to Ivy's request. Ivy's grandparents are also buried in the Philippines and her family seems to have a reason to return home to the Philippines.
