Chapter 5

Shelina had a mockingly low heart thought.

But her face remained calm, with no change in expression.

But not everything is as Shelina thought.

"No way, by serving me. However, by accompanying me to tell your story, "

Andrew denied it as if he realized his previous words had been a little ambiguous.

"What?"

Shelina's eyes widened in surprise.

Her mouth was open and she was speechless.

What exactly does this man mean? Telling stories? Is he serious?

He said this as if Shelina's life story was more interesting to him than having her serve him in bed.

"Could you tell me about your life, Shelina?" Andrew inquired, hopeful.

Shelina, I'm afraid, declined his request.

Is he for real?

Andrew took his words seriously.

This is the first time a man has approached Shelina and asked her to tell her life story.

So far, no one has taken notice.

They only want satisfaction and smooth conversation.

Nobody treats Shelina as gently and compassionately as this man.

Shelina initially refused to tell him, claiming that she couldn't share her story with a stranger until he finally began to tell his own life story.

The story of a man who adored his late wife.

Until it gets late at night.

We also slept together without having any sex.

There wasn't even a single kiss on the lips.

Andrew was hugging Shelina as they slept in the same bed.

This is Shelina's first time sleeping with a man without having any sex at all.

°°°••°°°

A warm and soft object against Shelina's forehead jolted her out of her reverie.

Andrew kissed Shelina on the forehead.

Provides soothing warmth.

Shelina realized he was someone who meant a lot to her.

Her Hero.

And Shelina doesn't deserve to have her decision to marry him questioned and doubted again.

"I got it, come in and sleep soon." Andrew's hand affectionately stroked the top of Shelina's head.

Shelina gave him a wide smile and nodded. And began to get out of the car, briefly waving until Andrew's car passed by.

Shelina walked into her apartment on the seventh floor. The building's silence enveloped me. Shelina's mind was lulled by thousands of thoughts.

Marcus.

Shelina has been missing this figure for the past five years.

She urgently wanted to meet and avoid this person.

A figure who never reappears in Shelina's dreams again.

Come back now. It arrived just as Shelina was about to embark on her new life. The person who spoke the first word in Shelina's life.

Shelina was her first love, kiss, and man.

She'd never be able to forget or erase it.

She is engraved so deeply in the heart, imprinted in such a way that she cannot be erased.

Shelina is awakened by the sound of the elevator.

She realized he needed to go outside and walk back.

Down the quiet and lonely hallway until you reach one of the apartment doors.

On the apartment door panel, Shelina entered a series of password combination numbers.

And entered right away when the door opened.

Her presence in this apartment was always met with silence, darkness, and loneliness.

Andrew has provided Shelina with a spacious and luxurious apartment.

In the dim light, his feet moved slowly.

Shelina didn't want to switch on the light.

Remove the agonizing fifteen centimeter high heels earlier.

When Shelina's feet touched the cold floor, she let out a sigh of relief.

She walked down the dimly lit living room in the dark.

She let go of the handbag in this manner until it fell helplessly on the floor with a loud enough sound.

Shelina didn't mind because she was too tired to care and was only concerned with putting the luxury bag on the table.

Shelina pushed the bedroom door open gently.

Continue walking towards the bed.

The moonlight shines brightly through the large glass window that separates the room from the balcony.

Shelina dropped her body as soon as she stood on the side of the bed.

She floated helplessly and quickly landed on the soft mattress, her arms spread wide.

Shelina closed her eyes, inhaled deeply, and exhaled slowly.

When she opened her eyes again, the plain sky greeted her.

The previously postponed dinner gathering was resumed.

Like a crumpled tape that keeps playing without stopping.

Marcus was as surprised as Shelina.

She trembled as she remembered his piercing and intimidating gaze.

Not out of awe or longing.

But because of the pain, she realized that everything had changed.

Shelina...

It's impossible to be with him again.

He is only Shelina's past, and Andrew is her future.

It makes no difference how difficult the challenges are.

Regardless of how hard people try to stop them.

Shelina simply wants to be happy with him.

The man who is the light in her darkness

Andrew Herbert, Shelina's future husband

Without being able to hold Shelina, tears flowed.

Cannot conceal his sadness, wound, and pain in her heart.

She hoped that these were her last tears for Marcus.

Because he is nothing more than Shelina's past.

The past that had become an unforgettable memory that she could no longer hope to repeat in the present or in the future.

Nobody knows or can guess how God wrote your destiny.

The same fate has befallen Shelina.

Marcus was her boyfriend five years ago, but he is now Shelina's future stepson.

Shelina didn't know Andrew five years ago, but he is now her future husband.

No human being can predict or read the future that God has outlined.

Anything is possible if He wills it.

And shelina can only hope and pray that at the end of this, there will be happiness.

°°°•°°°

Shelina has packed some clothing and necessities.

There are only two large suitcases.

Andrew will take care of the rest.

Even though she has only lived here for six months, Shelina has fond memories of it.

Shelina, on the other hand, will miss the atmosphere of this place.

The most comfortable place for her to be in solitude and silence.
