Chapter 1
It's been 6 long years…
But the past is still fresh from her memory.
Those long nights that always haunted her dreams.
The past that she tried to forget is now coming back.
He still looks gorgeous and dangerously handsome.
She is at a meeting for the merger of their company. Never did she thought that he is the CEO.
The meeting has ended, but she didn't understand a single word while listening to the discussion.
She stands up last and let all the people went out first.
She was taken by surprise when someone suddenly talked behind her back.
“Where have you been all these years?”He asked.
Upon hearing his voice for a long time, brought a mix feelings that she herself cannot even explain.
She didn't mind him and continue walking.
“Playing blind and deaf, my love…” Upon hearing what he said, memories came back, flashing in.
Those memories that she kept deep inside and buried.
He blocked her way. And she has no choice but to talked to him.
“Excuse me, Mr.Vergara. You are blocking my way."But he just laugh. Those laughter that she longs to hear.
"You left without saying goodbye, and that's all you can say?" He asked full of resentment. And the voice got a little louder.
He looked at the door, maybe someone had just entered.
Lance slammed the door and locked it.
Destiny is playing her life again. Of all the people he could encounter, Why Lance?
“Mr. Vergara, I don't have time for this. What are you talking about? ”But Lance’s handsome face got even angrier.
"You, what are you talking about. Nathalie! Just imagine that, after 6 years, I finally know your name." He shouted angrily.
Her heart moved upon hearing this. But that was all in the past. And you can't go back because it's hard to go back.
They both have their own life now.
“I really need to go! So please, if you'll excuse me. ”When he opened the door. Lance suddenly pinned her on the door.
She tried to let go, but he is so strong. He can smell the fresh mint on Lance breath.
“I miss you…” He said gently.
Did she miss him?
Lance kiss her and she lost her control and kissed him back with longing in her heart.
Nathalie, this is not right!
Her conscience will not stop reminding her to do what is right.
He pushed Lance and slap his face.
“I can sue you, Mr. Vergara. So, please don't do this again.” She forcefully let go of her body from Lance's embrace.
Lance was surprised and angry of what she did.
Next time, he will surely hold her tight and never let her go.
She finally went out of the meeting room. Walking as if nothing happened. When she entered the elevator. Her knees finally gave up.
Earlier her knees were shaking for no apparent reason.
Is she afraid?
Or excited?
Will she last in here? Or she will go back in France?
But her Daddy is sick, and she is the only heiress of their company. She cannot leave him.
She's done many mistakes and sinned so much when she was young.
She just needs to avoid Lance.
Yeah right, as much as possible.
************************
The next day, she stayed at home. She only sent her secretary to monitor the company to give her some possible news if ever there's a problem that may arise when she is on leave.
And she wanted to avoid Lance too.
But that man is a pain in her head. He even went to their house pretending to visit her sick Dad.
He will never give her a peace of mind.
She locked herself in the room until she heard someone is knocking.
"Miss Nathalie are you there?" He is here! And she was nervous to hear his voice again.
She did not answer, but he will never surrender!
Knocking her door again and again. Too painful to hear.
She decided to open the door and there he is, smiling so sweetly.
"Finally, you open the door." He greets her with a wink. And her heart flutter a bit.
"Don't worry, I'm just here for your signature only." He said showing her some paperwork.
That's all the reason why he went in here?
Why Nathalie, is there more?
Are you expecting something?
