Preface

I woke up feeling happy today. I'm not sure why but maybe because today's going to be our company's year end party and I am so anxious to go out again coz its been ages since I last had so much fun. Come to think about it, it has been 5 years. Five long years since I have experienced genuine happiness. I miss my old life. My family, my friends, the carefree life and most of all, I miss him. Even though things didn't work out well between us, I still miss him and crave everything about him. I mean, I've met guys after him that tried to have a relationship with me but no one has ever filled the hole inside my heart since that fateful day. I could still remember it clearly like it was just yesterday…

(flashback 5 years ago…)

I was wearing the new dress that I bought on my way to the studio since they will be having their rehearsal today for their gig. I want to surprise him since it has been quite a while since we last saw each other because of our busy schedules. I bought him his favorite cake to calm his nerves since he has been so stressed out lately because its their first ever major gig. I am so excited to see him and I can't wait to hug him and kiss him… Oh God, its been quite a while since we last spent time with each other. We should really have a vacation after his gig and my presentation.

I arrived at the studio and met his band mate, Rex, who was shocked to see me there. It was weird because I think he was trying to stop me from going inside. Oh well, maybe it was just my imagination. I hurriedly opened the door and what I saw next made me drop the cake that I was holding.

Inside was the most vicious girl that I have ever seen and she has her hands all over my boyfriend. My boyfriend of 8 years. My boyfriend who seems to be enjoying the attention that he was getting from the bitch. I couldn't say anything. All I did was drop the box of cake that I was holding and that seemed to stop the bitch from what she was doing and the next thing I knew, I was running towards my car with tears in my eyes that were slowly blurring the view. I could hear my boyfriend calling me but I didn't stop. Instead I went inside my car and drove so fast that I hardly noticed that I reached a cliff. I wanted to jump and end the feeling but I couldn't. I could not do this to my mom since this would totally break her heart. I could not do this to my brother as well. So I decided to leave and forget everything.

When I got home, I hurriedly packed my bags and left notes for my mom and my brother. I could not tell them what exactly happened so I just told them that I had to accept the offer abroad and that it was urgent. I promised that I'll go home after the deal but I wasn't really planning on going back.

(present day…)

I wiped the tear that escaped my eye and mentally scolded myself for reminiscing. I hurriedly took a bath and got ready coz I have to leave early since I have to talk to the bands who were performing and also I have to meet our guest band performer for courtesy. Being the CEO of my company means serious business. And as much as I hate to admit it, I am a perfectionist so if there are major events, I personally organize it just to make sure that everything will go as planned. I mean, I have a staff that could take care of it but I want perfection. I have to make sure that all the events that I organized would turn out the way as planned and if ever there would be side tracks, it needs to be minor ones. And I always want to be hands-on when it comes to my company so yeah, call me a perfectionist then. Anyways, Yohanne, my personal staff told me that she could just meet the bands for me so that I would have plenty of time to prepare for the event later but I insisted. I wanted to make sure that the bands that will be performing later will be perfect for the event.

When I arrived at the hotel where our special guests were staying, I contacted their manager and arranged for them to meet me at the café. As I was walking towards the café, a vision suddenly distracted me. I think I saw someone who looks like him but I dismissed the thought thinking that it might just be the result of what had happened earlier.

As I was busily reading the email updates on my laptop, I was interrupted by the waiter and he told me that my guests are already here. So I hurriedly kept my things and placed them inside my bag and fixed myself. When they came in the room, I smiled and looked at them one by one. I had to admit they were good looking but there was one who caught my eye. It was the guy that I saw earlier when I arrived in the hotel. The very same guy who looked like the man who occupied my thoughts earlier. The very same man who broke my heart 5 years ago…
