When Ramon emerged from the door, John fired a question at him right away.
"How's her reaction after receiving the phone?" asked John.
"She demanded to have her old phone back. I told her that you will return it after sometimes. Then I told her that she can curse, scream and shout at you any time of the day whenever she feels like doing it. All she needs to do is call you," answered Ramon.
"Good job Ramon, let's go back now and put all these things inside the vehicle," John motioned his head on the assorted things strewn in the hallway.
"Why don't we wait for a few days, Boss. Maybe Catherine will no longer throw a fit and will demand the things to be put back inside. Let's just instruct one of the nurses to cover the things with a piece of garments or blanket for the meantime," he suggested.
John agreed. "Okay, we just leave those things outside for a while. After three days, we will bring it all to the Jade Tower. Let's go!" said John.
They entered the elevator heading to the ground floor to go back to Infinity Jade Tower.
<<<0>>>
That night...
Catherine was staring at the shiny new phone she was holding in her hand. She has no plan to use it but it's the only communication she can use to reach out to her family outside of the building. She will call her family tomorrow.
She checked the contacts, only one name registered on it, John the fucking cheater!
She sighed.
She began typing rapid-fire messages...and sends them all to John.
'I hate you so much!'
'I hate you so much!'
'I hate you so much!'
'I hate you so much!'
'I hate you so much!'
'I hate you so much!'
'I hate you so much!'
'I hate you so much!'
'I hate you so much!'
Then she cried again, her uncontrollable sobbing wracked her whole body with sadness and agony. The truth is...she still love him so much but his betrayal and cheating devastated her to the core, making her so fucking miserable inside.

~Infinity Jade Tower~
John was having a shower inside the bathroom. He heard his phone beep many times signaling him of incoming text messages. Based on the sounds it may be more than 8 text messages. Who could be texting him so many messages at this late hour?
Done showering, he donned the bathrobe on his naked body.
He exited the bathroom and went to the bedside table to pick up his phone. His heart fluttered when he realized that the text messages were all sent by Catherine. But after reading the messages, he felt deeply saddened and disappointed that all her messages contain the declaration of her scorching hatred towards him.
But after a while he smiled...she's now opening up to him in a gradual manner without her knowing it.
He typed a message and resend it to her ten times...then he walked towards the closets to find something to wear.
Done donning the chosen clothes, he lies down on the bed, a smile appeared on his lips. He missed Catherine so much and their baby inside her tummy. He finally gets her pregnant at last! In spite of everything that happened, he was truly happy that she's finally carrying their son. One of his wishes finally come true, he is now a Dad!
The next step is to make her marry him as soon as possible!
He shuts his eyes and dreamed of her.
...
~Mystic Bay Twin Tower~
In Catherine's bedroom...she ignored the text messages that her phone received a while ago.
But no matter how hard she tried, she can't ignore the beating of her heart that was urging her to read his replies.
She picks up the mobile device and starts reading the text messages...
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
'I love you so much, Catherine!'
After finishing his repetitive endearing text messages, she put back the phone on the bedside table and started crying again. How can he be so weak not able to resist another woman's temptation? Was his love for her isn't that pure and intense that's why he was easily tempted by that woman? Even if they will continue their relationship, can she still trust him? How will she know that he won't be tempted with another woman again if they finally got married? What if his womanizing ways will get worse after their wedding? How will she able to protect her heart against him?
...
~Infinity Jade Tower~
For the next thirty minutes, John was waiting for Catherine's reply that didn't come. He sighed. He typed his last message for her for the night, then tap send. John put the phone in the bedside table and prepared himself to sleep. Hoping by tomorrow when he wakes up the hatred she felt for him magically disappears.
He sleeps on that night with Catherine's eyes throwing daggers in his mind.
...
In Catherine's bedroom...
She had finished crying for the beautiful love that gone too soon. Maybe John is not the right guy for her. Maybe there's someone out there who is waiting for her that truly deserves her love, loyalty, and devotion. That's why she must not hurry to marry him even if she is pregnant with their child. From now on... she must teach herself not to feel anything for John anymore.
If one day she can learn to forgive John, that also be the day that she no longer loves him. As for now the love and hate she felt for him were intertwine, she had a hard time separating them and it's making her feeling so conflicted inside. Maybe if she can't see him for a long time, she will be able to stop loving him and her hatred for him will also fade away a natural death.
She will hold on to the old saying that says...' Time can heal everything including the painful affairs of the heart.'

After forwarding the messages to Young-soo which was sent by Inha, Eunbi waited impatiently for Young-soo's reply to her message, and at the same time she was way too excited to message him after a long. She couldn't stay at one place for a few seconds, she walked from one corner to the other in her room by holding her smart-phone in her hand. She was way too tensed for his reply as though a high-school student wait for the final exam results. 
As soon as her phone vibrated for a message notification, she looked at her phone to check who has sent her a message, and it reads Young-soo's name on the phone's display. She opened that message with an excitement and read the message. After reading his message she thought, 'why is he apologizing in behalf of her for her mistake, is he really having feelings for her?'
She sat down at the couch at her room, 'why do I thinking about him, and why do I care whether if he date Inha or some other woman?' she asked herself and gently slapped her cheeks with both of her hands, 'come back to your sense Eunbi, you guys have already got divorce so you don't need to think about him. Now all you wanted is that Inha should not disturb you by sending you some messages, or call you to your contact number.'
She replied to his text message, "thank you so much." Then she typed the next text message, "how are you doing?" but before she touches the send icon, she erased the message which she has typed, kept her phone on the bed side table, and went to bed.
Young-soo read Eunbi's text message and made a call to Inha's contact number but she didn't answer his call, and his call has been forwarded to an automotive voice message system. He tried once again to reach her through her phone even this time she didn't answer his call. Young-soo felt so agitated, however he convinced himself by saying, 'maybe she might have been sleeping now, after-all it was a tiring day.'
He removed his shirt and pants went to the bathroom, filled some warm water in the bathtub, and got in. He lay down in the bathtub and relaxed himself.
Next day in the morning, Jaemin send a car to Young-soo's house for Young-soo to go to the office. When he reached his office he attended the weekly meeting and returned back to his office room in the afternoon. He sat down on his chair and loosened-up his neck tie, he took his phone and made a call to Inha's contact number, and today she answered his call in a few rings.
Inha: "Hello~ why are you kept on calling me since last night, are you checking me whether I am alive or not?"
Young-soo: "Now why are you speaking to me as if I have hurt your feelings on purpose? Furthermore, I didn't contact you to know how you're doing. I want to know why you send the pictures of us taken together yesterday on the double date to Eunbi's phone number."
Inha was bewildered on what he was talking about, therefore she checked her phone whether she's sent any messages to Eunbi last-night without her knowledge, but it shows that she hasn't sent any messages to her yesterday, and her last text conversation with Eunbi was a few months ago. "No, Young-soo I didn't send any pictures to Eunbi's phone number."
Young-soo: "stop lying and accept the truth to me, Inha. If you didn't send her those messages from your phone number then who would have sent that to her? If you don't know how to lie then just accept the truth. I'm warning you for one last, if you try to disturb Eunbi again I'll make you face the consequences so badly. If you wanted to take revenge on me try to revenge me directly, stop involving Eunbi in this matter because Eunbi and I don't have any relationship between us. Therefore, behave yourself."
Inha was annoyed with him as he kept on yelling at her without letting her to speak, "have you finished saying what you have wanted to say?" she asked him and paused for a few seconds, "now listen to me, I swear that, last-night I didn't send any messages to Eunbi. I don't care whether you believe it or not it's up to you, but that's the truth. I don't have any intention to lie to you, and one day you will regret for blaming me unwanted." She said and hung up the call.
Inha was clueless that what happened to Young-soo and why he does not believe her words. She roughly flipped her hair from left to right with annoyance.
Actually, yesterday what happened was, after quarreling with Young-soo Inha checked in to the hotel at Jeju Island to spend the night. She lay down on the bed and cried helplessly, her heartache when she recalled her conversation with him. After a while she ordered a bottle of wine, drank-up the entire bottle, and fall asleep on the bed. Since the moment she left from the caravan camp she didn't take out her phone from her handbag until next morning.
After speaking to Inha over the phone Young-soo contacted Eunbi and assured her, "I have spoken to Inha and I guarantee you that she'll not disturb you anymore. And may I know from which phone number she has sent you those messages?"
Eunbi: "I received those messages from her same old phone number."
Young-soo: "Oh I see."
Eunbi: "Why are you asking me about that, is there any problem?"
He doesn't want to share his phone conversation which he had with Inha, "nothing, you carry on your works," he replied her and hung-up the call.
Eunbi expected him, at-least today he would ask her that, how she is doing. She felt as disappointed in him as he didn't ask her anything like that. However, on the other hand she felt so happy to hear his voice over the phone after such a long time.

During afternoon school Ye Jin was busy with students. After school she opened her message box in her phone to check whether there's any messages or not. To her surprised there wasn't any, she went through all the message inbox but realized that really there were not any new messages. She began reminding all her past days and she was amused thinking that she's at the highest peak of her life. While thinking her lips curled upward and there was a pleasant sense in her heart. She thought might be Chen Hei is busy now with his nephews and doing babysitting.

So she suddenly open the message inbox of her Weibo and send him a text, 
" Are you there? Are you babysitting?" 
" Had lunch? "
Then she thought to add " Are you ready to go back home? Done with your packing? " But she couldn't add it, because she thought that it might sound like she's extremely close with him...after all she has taken their relationship as just friends. 

As soon as she reminded herself of him returning home to his native place she couldn't help but felt uneasy in heart. This feeling was something she never had before.

 Instantly her heart was troubled and she became utterly anxious. As she was in the middle of her train of thoughts, her phone vibrated  "Ding dong" and then she opened her Weibo to check messages and Chen Hie's text was there. She saw his messages, " I'm with my cousin outside and already had lunch with him. " Then she realized that he told her yesterday about his cousin's arrival.

"Ding dong" her phone vibrated again " How about you? " She lifted her finger in numbness of her heart and replied, "Yeah I had just now too."
 After thinking a while she text him again, "Are you ready to leave tomorrow?" and pressed sent.

As soon as she sent she thought about to go to his home to meet him last time and see his face last time. As she thought the word 'last time' her heart couldn't beat normally instead it was numb and sorrow engulfed around.

Again her phone vibrated "ding dong" and the message notification popped up on home screen, she saw word, 
"I already left....." as soon as she read her heart skipped one beat and pain engulfed her heart and it was like sharp knife piercing her heart. With trembling finger she opened her chat page with Chen Hei and she saw the words clearly, "I already left .....I'm on the way to get city bus."

 As soon as she saw Chen Hei's texts instantly her train of thoughts couldn't help but began racing 'Isn't he was about to leave tomorrow?'

 Yes he told me that he'll leave on Tuesday but why he's leaving today?

It was the first time for Mo Jingshen to confess his love to her, and he did it publicly. Ji Nuan was secretly happy. 
They drove home, took a shower, changed, and sat down on the couch in the living room. They leaned against each other and began to kiss.
Suddenly, while kissing her passionately, Mo Jingshen held her waist and placed her on his thigh. His warm, thin lips moved slowly from her lips to her chin, cheek, and ears.
Then his lips moved down to her neck and went lower.
The man's kiss and breath moved all the way down from her collarbone and rested on her soft, gradually standing nipples. His hand also silently reached into her nightgown from beneath. His warm hand grabbed her soft breast, and his breathing became heavy. 
She was in an ordinary pullover nightgown that was not conservative or sexy and could only be taken off over her head.
Before Mo Jingshen had the time to throw away the nightgown he took off from her, the cell phone on the tea table suddenly rang… 
"Ding-dong…"
It was a text message.
Ji Nuan was pressed against the couch by Mo Jingshen. She didn't realize she was lying on the couch until she heard the ringtone. Before they entered the bedroom, Mo Jingshen had stripped her almost entirely naked, so she immediately opened her eyes.
Mo Jingshen only paused for a second. Full of sexual desire, his low and deep voice became hoarse. "Ignore it. Let's continue." 
Then he lifted her chin and continued French kissing her. 
Ji Nuan. "…." Why does Boss Mo like having sex on the couch lately?
"My cell phone is ringing."
"I heard it."
"Then let me read it."
"It's just a text message."
"I'll just take of a look at the message. I seldom received spam messages. It must be from a person I know."
"En, no hurry. Just ignore it."
"Mo Jingshen..."
The cell phone kept buzzing. It seemed that it had received more than one message.
Who would keep sending her text messages at midnight? No one else would do it except Xia Tian.
"No, no, come on. Get up…"
The cell phone kept buzzing on her ear, and Ji Nuan couldn't concentrate.
Mo Jingshen ignored her refusal. He had wanted to press her down and teach her a good lesson since he saw her smiling happily at other men during dinner. Now that they had finally hit home and she happened to be very cooperative tonight; they shouldn't waste such a good time for an idiot who sent messages at midnight.
Ji Nuan couldn't stop him, nor could she push him away from her. She bit her lips and said helplessly, "Just let me take a look at the messages, all right? What if there is an emergency? Let's continue after I read the messages, okay? Just spare me for one minute."
Hearing her words, he finally stopped. Then he narrowed his eyes and said hoarsely, "I spare you one minute, and you'll pay me back for an hour, right?"
"…"
What a beast!
Not getting her answer, he was going to strip down her pants which were the only clothes left on her…
"Okay, okay, an hour, I promise. After all, even if you don't spare for a minute, it's up to you how long the sex will take," Ji Nuan complained. It was actually pointless whether she agreed to his demand or not. It was just lip service. 
Mo Jingshen finally stopped.
Ji Nuan hurriedly got up, gathered her messy long hair on her shoulder with her hand, picked up her cell phone, and took a look at its screen.
Seeing this woman sit on the couch almost naked in this cold weather and reading the messages without covering herself with clothes, Mo Jingshen frowned and patiently waited for her to finish reading the messages, taking her into his arms from the couch with a straight face. He took her to the bedroom, kicked the door open, gently placed her on the bed, and covered her body exposed to the cold air with the quilt. 
As Ji Nuan expected, it was Xia Tian who bombarded her with text messages at midnight.
Xia Tian. [Boss, the performance report and financial statement of the studio last month have been sent to your email. Please check it!]
Xia Tian. [I have to say you really have sharp eyes. During the last two months, I didn't do anything else but dealt with the investors who came to negotiate the transfer of land and properties. I didn't even touch the properties with high market value. Even some shops and plots that you had bought randomly were being crazily sought after by investors with a unique vision.] 
Xia Tian. [Even the lowest prices they offered would be enough for all of us to live a well-to-do life for years. We will earn a net profit of over forty million yuan! But I didn't sell them because I think the prices can be raised further. You are not in a hurry to sell these properties anyway.] 
Xia Tian. [By the way, Chenfeng Company wanted to buy the plot at Dawang City on the east for 350 million yuan. Do you think the price is fair? Will you sell it?]
Xia Tian. [Your small studio is like a hidden gold mine. No one knows that you have so many treasures in your hand. If you sell all the properties, your studio's working capital will be even more than those of many listed companies! How can you call it a 'studio'? You are just too low profile! Good lenses, bad frames!]
Xia Tian. [It's still early. Why don't you reply to my messages? Are you sleeping, or are you rolling in bed with your dear husband? Tut, how can you value sex over friendship?!]
Xia Tian. [By the way, dear Boss Ji, now that you are so rich, don't complain to me how poor you are again! I may have to take refuge with you after I disown the Xia Family people. Do you need a sidekick? Come on, leave a place for me by your side. I need a patron!]
Xia Tian. [I remember you just took over Han Tianyuan's company several months ago, didn't you? You only spent thirty million yuan to have this studio, right? I checked our finance and projects yesterday, only to find out that the profits we made had been ten times more in just a few months. It turns out that you were right to insist on doing real estate!]
Then there was another pile of babbling. Ji Nuan read all her messages and replied. [One day, you will see a hundredfold increase in profits. The next few years will definitely be a good time for the domestic housing market to soar, but a tall tree catches the wind. We'd better keep a low profile. After all, there are so many real estate big shots in China, we will certainly have a hard time if they gather up to suppress us.]
In less than a minute, Xia Tian sent her a [Give Me a High Five] emoticon.
They knew each other well. For most of the time, as long as Ji Nuan gave her a hint, she would understand her plan.
When she finally put her cell phone down, Ji Nuan found Mo Jingshen was not in the bedroom. She grabbed her nightgown and put it on, got off the bed, and entered the bathroom. She tied her hair up and turned on the tap to wash her face with cold water to cool her hot, blushing face. 
Looking at herself in the mirror, she spotted a string of hickeys on her neck.
She had to go back to T University tomorrow. These hickeys were located too high and were hard to hide! It seemed that even a turtleneck sweater wouldn't be able to cover them… 


Having been reborn, she takes one glance at her ridiculously handsome husband and wonders if she had suffered from brain damage back then—she had actually demanded for a divorce with him. Repeatedly! 

In her previous life, she had been deceived by her relatives who eventually led her to her tragic death. With this second chance at life, she vows to cozy up to her husband both literally and figuratively to destroy all her enemies and to take down the women who hid behind their scheming, innocent facades. She would be in control of her own happiness!

This is a sweet, doting love story featuring an intelligent female lead and a perfect male lead who's good at turning her knobs.

Imagine school kids taking some famous song or well-known speech and corrupting the words for humor.

Imagine the works of Ancient Grecian scholar, Cicero, and producing it in Latin (common tongue, vulgate)

Imagine print paper press technology taking "unknown text" and making nonsense with text alignment and missing punctuation.

Imagine digital publishing software taking corrupted paragraphs to show how professional a document you might create.

Paragraph alignment, word spacing, text alignment.

And there is 'Lorem Ipsum'; a paragraph out of context, for the wrong readership, corrupted of all meaning.

Have we really given it any thought?

Did language scholars sit down and discuss it in social circles.
Could the missing words be a secret code, and a way of passing messages amongst secret societies with secret handshakes.

Will code breakers discover hidden messages in breaking down the original Cicero text and Latin version?  Will the answer change if you consider the alignment and direct of words written in ancient Greek (a language that might transcribe leftward or rightward or a combination; depending on the age they wrote it).

I doubt it.  It doubt anything meaningful would be discovered; because the simplest answer is usually the correct one.

Lorem Ipsum exists because of corruption, reproduction, retelling, reprinting, misspelling, cut and pasting, and editing.

It is something to consider as I write today.  Will my word survive, and if they do survive; would I recognize them?

Expositionary Discourse.  The target is levity, but my aim might not be reliable.  Please leave me kind reviews!  This series will update with no advance schedule.

Alexa wakes up with continuous pings on her phone and stretches her hand out to grab the phone without coming out of the blanket. "It's 5am, who is pinging me early in the morning", she stares the screen for few minutes in shock after seeing Reo's name on screen. "He got up so early" she starts reading the messages. "Hello Beautiful" followed by next one with "Sorry, I am overwhelmed with yesterday's chat. I am not supposed to call you beautiful" then another one "Not that you are not beautiful, you are the most beautiful women I have seen after my Grandma and my Mom, but should control myself" and then "Good Morning Angel", and then "Oppss Can I call you that, I am not stealing your nickname from Yie but it suits you a lot. I will stop it if you don't want to me to call you with that". She chuckles while reading all the messages.

She tries to reply to the last message when a new message pops up again from Reo "I am sorry, I think have woken you up with my messages" before she could receive any new message, she sits up leaning her back on the wall and start replying "Hey Good Morning, how many sorry are you planning to say today? You did wake me up but I think its fine as need to go back to my Hotel to freshen up. And yeah you can call me Angel, it's a name given by Yie but not many call me with that. So how come you are up so early"

Reo on the other hand halt doing his morning exercise after seeing blue tick mark on his message giving him an indication that she had read his messages and holds back his breathe after seeing typing comment on the chat but smiles widely after receiving the text from Alexa.

"I usually get up this early for my morning exercises and thank you for allowing me to call you Angel. By the way did you stay at Sasha's place?"

"Oh yeah, I stayed back and was planning to leave now for my hotel"

"If it's ok with you, Can I drop you? I am either way awake and can grab coffee together. Only if you are ok"

Alexa rubs her eyes to double check the message as was finding it difficult to digest the text from Reo, the person who only know to give order was waiting for her response.

"I don't want to trouble you, will take a cab"

"You will not be causing me a trouble but will hurt me by rejecting my offer"

Alexa stares the screen for another minute this time not because of the text reply but because the photo which Reo has send along with the text "Omg, I never though Reo can click just puppy face picture" and then she replies back

"Who can say No to such puppy face, will be ready in 10minutes. See you outside Sasha's house as don't want to wake her up so early in the morning" Alexa jumps from her bed and slowly moves to the washroom to freshen up without disturbing Sasha who was sleeping next to her.

Reo on other hand screams in excitement and goes for a quick shower to get rid of the workout smell and change to a pair of sweatshirt with track, put on his sport shoes, leaves his hair half dried and wears his one of the favourite Rolex watch. He walks out of his house towards his car while rolling his keys in air. He jumps in the car and texts Alexa again "I am starting now, Cya soon at the entrance"

Alexa gets ready and pack her stuff which she has carried yesterday in her handbag and before leaving writes a good bye note for Sasha and places it on the bed table next to her. "I am sorry dear, leaving early as need to freshen up in Hotel, Cya soon at the studio for the final day practise. Love A"

Alexa checks her phone and reads the text from Reo which is been send ten minutes before and knowing the speed he drives, she knew he is already there at the entrance. She put on her sneakers to complete the look of her summer yellow flower colour umbrella model dress. She quietly walks out of the house locking it behind and as expected Reo was there in front of his black BMW leaning himself on the car door while watching his phone, probably waiting for Alexa's reply.

Alexa walks up to him and coughs to grab his attention "Sorry for being late"

"Wow…I mean no…Have just arrived" Reo fumbles while replying to her. This was the first time he has seen her this early with sunlight to the minimum and the cool breeze landing on her face and her hairs swinging from one side to other. He sees her finds uncomfortable and quickly grabs his track jacket from back seat and pass to Alexa to cover herself as she was shivering due to the cool breeze.

"Thank you, I have my cardigan in my bag. I was not expecting it to be this cold thus wrapped it up inside" She pulls out her cardigan from her bag and wears the same before moving to the other side of the car to board.

They go to their Hotel and took some rest. The next two days, they explored Japan. On Saturday, they went back to China. When Hua opened her room door, She saw her brother inside her room. 
  "Hui.... What are you doing here?!! (hugs him)... I missed you so much..!!" Hua exclaims
  "Ahh... Suddenly.. So much affection..!! Disgusting!!" Hui teases
  "Shut up... You don't know how much I missed you...!!" Hua says
   "I was just teasing you" Hui replies
Suddenly, Shen comes inside her room. 
  "Woahh... Sorry for disturbing you both..!! (goes out)..." Shen says
  "It's okay.. Come in Shen" Hua says
  "(comes inside)... Who is he?!" Shen asks
  "He is my brother Li Hui. He was working in South Korea for a long time." Hua says
  "(greets him formally).. Nice to meet you. I'm Xia Shen!" Shen says
    "Ohh!! He must be my Brother in law! (smiles).... I should show him my best!" Shen thinks
  "(greets him back)... Nice to meet you too" Hui replies back
  "(shows Hua the agreement paper)... Hua.. I want to speak to you about something important!!" Shen says
  "Ahh!! Hui.. I want to speak to Shen alone... Can you leave?!!" Hua asks
He leaves the room and waits outside. Shen sits in Hua's bed with Frustration. 
  "Ahh!!! I'm getting rid of this agreement... I want to tear it off...!!" Hua shouts
 "Don't get angry...." Shen says
  "Why don't we burn this agreement off?! No one knows that we are Couples because of an Idiotic S** Agreement?!!" Hua says
Hearing it. Hui enters their room. 
  "S** Agreement Relationship?!" Hui exclaims
They both were scared. They couldn't hide it anymore. They explains it to Hui. Bai and Yuki also visits Hua's house. 
  "It's because of a S** agreement, we are in a relationship...(suddenly they both enters her room)" Shen says
  "Hello... S** Agreement?!!! What is it about?!" Bai keenly asks Shen
Hua and Shen looks at each other with confusion. They explain everything about their agreement to Hui, Bai and Yuki. They were all shocked hearing their story. 
  "Awesome....!!" Bai exclaims
  "Woahh... Shen..!! You're really something..!!" Yuki exclaims
  "(takes down notes about their story).... I'm gonna write everything" Hui says
  "Stop it Hui..." Hua shouts at him
  "Guys... Please don't spread it to everyone.. I beg you..!!" Shen asks
Everyone nods their head. 
   "That means... It's not True Love...!?!" Hui asks. Everyone look at them keenly. 
   "We don't know what's happening around us..!?! We are in.. A.. Very bad state now.. Don't know who we are?!!?... I hate living like that...!?!" Hua frowns
  "Why don't you burn the agreement?!" Yuki asks
  "Yeah... That's a good idea.. But, I'm getting some text messages in Weibo from a Stranger." Shen replies. He shows the text messages to everyone. 
   "Shen.. I know about your S** Agreement with Hua.. If you ever try to cancel it.. I'll show this picture to everyone." A text message
   "A picture of Hua and Shen in the bed together" One more text message with the picture. 
  "Omg..... Who sends text messages like this?!" Yuki exclaims
  "Wait.. Look at the photo.. (everyone looks at it keenly. Hua and Shen gets shy)... There is a Stamp Mark... This photo is shot by... Ming Mei" Hui says
  "Ming Mei..." All four exclaims expect Hui. 
  "Who is Ming Mei?!" Hui asks
  "She is my Personal Assistant.. (get angry)" Hui says. Gets one more text message
  "Hahah... It looks like you found out the culprit... But, it's false.. Ming Mei is not the culprit" Text message
   "Wtf is going on?!" Hua frowns
   "Why don't we track down her Weibo account?! I know many people who work in Weibo.. And mainly.. I'm a detective!! So, they will allow me to track down!!" Hui says
  "You're a DETECTIVE?!!" Everyone exclaims expect Hua. 
  "Okay.. Leave it aside... Hui.. Can you do it now?!" Hua asks
   "Hmm.. Yeah!! (tries to call his friend)" Hui replies. Gets one more message. 
   "Don't try to be too smart to track me down.. You can't do it even if you have a Detective or Police by your side." Text message
All gets irritated by the text messages.It's already 10:00 pm. All decided to stay at Hua's house. Yuki and Bai sleeps in the guest room. Hui sleeps in his room. Hua and Shen sleeps together. 
  "Shen.. I'm scared (hugs him)... Will I really leave you?!" Hua asks
  "(hugs her tightly)... Don't worry... I'm always by your side (kiss her for a long time)" Shen says
Hua was at peace when Shen kissed her. Her fear flew away.
  "I'm not sure whether I'll be by her side..!! (cries)" Shen thinks in his mind
  "(notices his tears).... Shen.. Don't cry..!! (gets up)..." Hua says
Wakes him up and take him to the rooftop and looked at the stars. 
  "Shen.. Do you know that there is a star always close to the moon?!" She asks him
   "Hmm.. Yeah!! What about that?!" He asks
   "We are like that Star and Moon. We will be always close to each other. No one can separate us. Understood?!" Hua gives him confidence. 
  "(comes close to her and kisses her)...." Shen
They went down and slept peacefully. They don't know what problems will they face in the future. They cherished each and every moment.

What happens when you're forced into sign an agreement?? What about S** Agreement? 
On her first day of her job, Li Hua is forced into a S** agreement by Xia Shen. (cause he was drugged at that time). After 10 years, they are not married to each other but, they meet in an unexpected way.... 
"After finishing our agreement, we will be separated. Till then.... We will love each other. We will cherish our moment together!"

KINABUKASAN ay inaasahan ni Janine na nandoon na naman sa kabilang gusali ang binata. Hindi siya nabigo nang masilayan niya ang motorsiklo nito. Wala sa sariling lumapit siya kahit wala naman siyang dahilan para lumapit. Oh, yes, she brought his raincoat. 

"Hi," panimulang-bati niya.

"Hi, there!"

"S-Sorry, hindi ako nakapag-reply kahapon. Busy..." dahilan niya pero ang totoo ay hindi niya alam kung ano ang ire-reply.

"It's alright. You can reply whenever you're available," tipid itong ngumiti.

"Uhm, may inaabangan ka?"

"Wala naman."

Nangunot ang kanyang noo. Bakit ito laging nandoon kung ganoon?

"Ah..." imbes na magtanong pa ay napatangu-tango na lamang siya.

"Siya nga pala, nakalimutan ko iyong jacket mo. Raincoat lang ang nadala ko kasi mabigat sa bag, e."

Akmang kukunin niya iyon sa kanyang bag nang pigilan siya nito.

"Just keep that, para may gamitin ka ulit kapag umulan."

"Hindi, okay lang ako," tanggi niya.

Kumunot ang noo nito.

"Dala ko na ang payong ko. Actually, I bought a new one. Mas magaan kaysa sa una," esplika niya.

"That's good then," anas nito.

Saglit na katahimikan ang namayani. Lumingon siya sa motorsiklo ng binata. Ang gara ng motorsiklo nito, mukhang mamahalin. 

"Ite-text kita kung dala ko iyong jacket mo bukas," basag niya sa katahimikan.

"Alright."

Napalingon siya sa mukha nito. Ang tipid naman nitong kausap. 

"What's your name?" namamaos na tanong nito. Napahinto siya saglit. Oo nga naman, ilang beses na silang nagkaroon ng interactions pero hindi pa rin nila kilala ang isa't isa.

"Princess Janine," pakilala niya. Wait, that's too long. "Just call me Janine."

"Janine," anas nito.

Pakiramdam niya ay maliliit na mga daga na nagtatakbuan sa kanyang dibdib. Bakit ganito ang nararamdaman niya?

"Hm," tumango siya. "Ikaw?"

"Louie,"

Bahagya siyang tumango. Hindi pa rin niya mapigilan ng pagkabog ng kanyang dibdib kaya naman ay nagdahilan na siya.

"B-Baka hinihintay na ako sa amin. Mauna na 'ko," paalam niya.

Tumango ito. "Ingat ka."

Pagkauwi niya ay ginawa niya muna ang lahat ng kailangang gawin. Matapos maghugas ng pinagkainan ay naghilamos na siya, at tinapos na ang assignment niya, weekends naman pero ginawa na niya ang mga assignment para bukas, pagkatapos nilang maglaba ay makakapagpahinga siya ng maayos. 

Lagpas alas nueve na nang mapagpasyahan niyang mahiga na sa kama. Pero hindi siya makatulog kaya naman napagpasyahan niyang mag-cellphone. Her phone isn't the latest model, hindi rin siya nakagagamit ng internet dito dahil de-pindot. Hindi siya binibilhan ng bago dahil calls and texts lang naman daw ang kailangan niya. About the Internet, she can browse on their computer. Or that's what her tita Sheng said.

Pagkuwa'y may naisip siya. Mabilis na tumipa siya ng message:
Hi, Louie.

Pikit-mata niyang s-in-end iyon.

Ilang sandali lang ay nakatanggap siya ng reply:
Good evening, Janine! Have you eaten your dinner?

Omg!

She typed in: 
Yeap! Kanina pa. Ikaw ba?

Louie:
Yes. I ate dinner with my family. Buti gising ka pa? It's getting late.

Napabusangot siya. Ayaw ba siya nitong ka-text?

Louie:
I'm just concerned that you're tired. We can text tomorrow so you could have a good rest :')

Ah, iyon naman pala ang ibig niyang sabihin. Kinuha niya ang unan at niyakap habang tumitipa:
Medyo pagod na nga. I was about to sleep but I remember to text you. Nasabi ko kasi kanina na ite-text kita kung dala ko ang jacket mo bukas pero wala namang pasok.

Hindi niya iyon pinasa at binura ang mensahe. She typed in a new one:
Oo sige, will text you tomorrow. Good night! :')

Louie:
Good night. Huwag ka nang mag-reply para makapagpahinga ka na. 

She turned off her phone before she could text back. Baka kasi hindi siya tuluyang makatulog. 

She slept with a light smile on her face. 

Naging instant textmate niya si Louie matapos niyang ibigay ang numero rito. 

"Siya nga pala, noong Foundation Week namin, bakit nagpupumilit kang pumasok?" tanong ni Janine nang makita niya ulit ito sa katapat na gusali ng kanilang paaralan. "Pwede namang bumili ng ticket, pero nagpumilit ka pa talaga na wala kang pera." 

"I really didn't have money then, I forgot my wallet," sagot nito. 

"Pwede namang umuwi at kunin muna iyong wallet mo, pero bakit gustung-gusto mong pumasok noon?" kuryosong tanong niya. 

Saglit itong tumahimik bago nagsalita, "I want to be honest with—"

"Luigi?"

Sabay silang napalingon nito sa babaeng nagsalita.

"Betatche?" nagtatakang tawag niya sa apelyido ng estudyanteng nasa harapan na nila ngayon.

"My! It's really you! Ano'ng nangyari? You stopped texting me," bati nito sa katabi niyang tila naging bato na.

"Jenny," bati ni Louie sa ka-schoolmate niya nang makahuma na. 

She knows her, sikat itong varsity player ng volleyball. At ito rin ang itinanghal na Ms. GHS noong nakaraang taon, magkaklase rin sila noong grade seven sila. Paano nitong nakilala si Louie? Wait, who's Luigi?

"Ayaw ko mang aminin, pero medyo na-miss kita," bahagyang tumawa si Jenny sa isiniwalat sa binata. 

"M-Mauna na ako, nandiyan na si Erik," sabad niya nang mamataan ang sasakyan nilang minamaneho ng kanyang kuya. Nag-text kanina na susunduin daw siya dahil pauwi na rin naman ito galing sa unibersidad na pinapasukan nito.

"Wait lang, Vergarra, magkakilala pala kayong dalawa ni Luigi?" wika ni Jenny na tila ngayon lang siya napansin.

Wala sa sariling tumango siya at lumayo na.

"Ja," tawag ni Louie ngunit hindi na niya nilingon at pinansin pa.

Nang makasakay siya sa sasakyan ay nilingon niya agad ang dalawa na mukhang may seryosong nang pinag-uusapan.

Magdamag niyang inisip ang tagpong iyon kaya naman kinabukasan, paggising niya ay namumugto ang ilalim ng kanyang mga mata. Hindi rin niya in-on ang cellphone, hinayaan niyang lowbat iyon. Hindi na rin niya dinala sa eskwelahan. 

Maging sa klase ay nawalan siya ng pokus hanggang sa mag-uwian na. Hindi siya dadaan sa main gate gaya ng lagi niyang ginagawa, bagkus ay sa second gate na kahit medyo malayo iyon sa sakayan.

"Vergarra, wait!"

Napahinto siya nang marinig na may tumatawag sa kanya. Si Jenny.

"Kanina pa kita tinatawag, hindi mo yata ako naririnig," ani nito habang nagmamadaling makalapit sa kanya. 

"Pasensya na."

Out of respect, she stopped walking to wait for her. Kapagkuwa'y huminto sila sa shed malapit sa second gate. 

"Siya nga pala, pasensya na kung hindi ko napansing magkasama kayo ni Luigi kahapon. Nagulat lang kasi ako na naroon siya," panimula nito.

"Luigi?"

"Iyong lalaking kasama mo kahapon. Nililigawan ka ba niya?" direktang tanong nito.

Sa kanyang isipan ay panliligaw na ang ginagawa ni Louie sa kanya. Ang paghihintay nito tuwing tapos na ang kanyang klase, ang palaging pagte-text nito sa kanya...

"To be honest, Luigi was my suitor before. We were supposed to meet last Foundation Week but he didn't see me before the pageant has started. Kailangan na ako sa stage," casual na paliwanag nito. Ito kasi ang master of ceremony sa pre-pageant nang gabing iyon kaya kailangang nasa venue lamang ito. 

Hindi niya alam kung bakit nito sinasabi iyon sa kanya. Palalayuin ba siya nito kay Louie? Luigi? O kung ano man ang pangalan nito? Napabusangot siya.

Pumalatak si Jenny. "Now I know why."

Kumunot ang kanyang noo.

"I mean, don't get me wrong, ah, he's nice at all. Pero nagtaka lang talaga ako na bigla siyang nawala. Hindi lang pala sa mag-jowa na-a-apply ang ghosting, pati sa suitors din," naiiling na tumawa ito pagkatapos.

"Why are you saying all of this to me?"

"I'm saying that you should be careful. Luigi is a playboy. Halata naman, 'di ba?"

Tumango siya dahil iyon naman talaga ang impresyon niya sa binata.

"But believe me when I say, he's nice. He actually explained to me yesterday that he was still texting me, he's been asking me to meet him, that he'll wait for me everyday..."

Kung ganoon pala, si Jenny ang hinihintay nito araw-araw? And here she thought he's been waiting for her so he could see her. 

Ilusyonada ka, Princess Janine. 

"He said he wanted to tell me that he'll stop courting me. That he doesn't really like me," saglit itong bumuntong-hininga. "Sayang, I like him pa naman," dagdag pa nito.

"Akala ko ba hindi na siya nagti-text sa iyo?" hindi napigilang komento niya.

"That's what I thought, too! Nakalimutan kong nagpalit na nga pala ako ng sim card. 'Tsaka hindi na rin naman ako sa main gate dumadaan, sinusundo na ako lagi rito sa second gate," paliwanag nito. She sighed, "And lately, I realised I kinda miss him."

"Bakit hindi mo siya sagutin ngayon?"

"Masokista ka rin, Janine, 'no? Talagang itatanong mo sa akin iyan?" she's a little bit sarcastic. 

Hindi siya nakasagot.

Ngumisi ito. "Don't worry, I know you like him. I can sense it."

Maang na napatingin siya rito. Was she that obvious?

"Huwag mo na akong pagselosan. 'Past is past' ika nga kahit wala naman kaming past talaga." natatawang pansin nito sa pananahimik niya. "We weren't really a thing. Ako talaga ang unang lumapit sa kanya. At dahil alam kong hindi siya tumatanggi sa mga babaeng gustong maka-fling siya, lumakas ang loob ko."

Tumahimik siya. Ready for more information.

"Imbes na lumitaw na ako ang nanligaw, sinabihan niya akong liligawan niya ako. How nice of him, right? Playboy siya pero hindi manloloko. Maloko siguro, oo."

Hindi sila magkaibigan ni Jenny, hindi rin sila close, pero hindi siya na-offend sa paraan ng pagkukwento nito. Hindi ito trying hard na makipag-usap sa kanya. Hindi gaya ng iba na feeling close.

"Basta, nililinaw ko lang sa iyo na wala kaming intimate relationship ni Luigi."

"Thanks for telling me, Jenny."

May pakiramdam siyang mula sa araw na iyon ay hindi na last-name basis ang pagtawag nila nito sa ngalan nila. She had this feeling that they'll become friends. Not so close, but good friends. 

"O, sige na, nandito na ang sundo ko," paalam nito at kumaway sa kanya.

Pagkauwi ay 'tsaka pa lamang niya ch-in-arge ang cellphone. Pagkabukas niya ay nag-ring agad iyon. Nasagot niya nang hindi sinasadya. 

"You're phone was off all day and last night, too. What happened? Are you alright?" bungad ng nasa kabilang linya.

Imbes na patayin ay hinayaan niyang ongoing ang tawag.

Louie sighed heavily. "I'm sorry about yesterday, I was about to tell you—"

"Nasabi na ni Jenny sa akin." putol niya sa sasabihin.

"I still want to tell you everything. I want to be honest with you."

"Feeling ko naman, nasabi na lahat ni Jenny. Sige na, may gagawin pa ako," agarang sagot niya. Muli, ay malalim na bumuntong-hininga ang nasa kabilang linya.

"Alright."

Iyon lang? Pumayag na itong tapusin ang tawag? Alright? Pinatay na niya ang tawag. Ilang sandali lang ay nakatanggap siya ng text message pero hindi na niya binasa dahil sunud-sunod na ang pagtunog ng kanyang message alert tone. Paniguradong kanina pa ang mga text messages na iyon kaya nama'y hinayaan niya munang mag-charge ang cellphone. 

Naiinis na tinahak niya ang daan papasok ng banyo para makapag-shower muna. Halos mamula at mairita ang kanyang balat sa madiin na pagkuskos ng bimpo dahil sa inis na nadarama.

Matapos niyon ay kumain na siya ng hapunan. She washed the dishes right after they ate. Habang nagpapahinga ay kinuha niya ang nagcha-charge na cellphone, binasa niya ang huling text ni Louie sa kanya. 

Louie:
I know you're tired. Magpahinga ka agad. Marami ako ng text sa iyo, hayaan mo na lang ang mga iyon. 

Nagpasya siyang basahin ang ibang ibang text messages bago mag-reply rito. Laking-gulat niya nang mapansing ang daming mensahe ni Louie sa kanya.

Louie:
Nakauwi ka na ba?

Louie:
I'm sorry about a while ago,

Louie:
Please reply.

Louie:
Text me when you're done with what you're doing.

Louie:
Are you still awake? If you are, text me.

Louie:
I can't call you, you're phone is unattended. 

Louie:
Oras na. Baka natutulog ka na. Good night. Please text me tomorrow.

Ang sumunod na mga mensahe ay kanina lang.

Louie:
Good morning. I hope you slept well. I'll wait for you later.

Louie:
Your phone is not ringing. Are you alright?

Louie:
Did you eat your lunch?

Louie:
I'm here...

Halos isang oras matapos ng text na iyon ay may text ulit ito. 

Louie:
I'm still here. Nakauwi ka na ba? If yes, text me, and I'll go home. 

Louie:
Please reply so I would know if you're okay. I'm starting to worry, Janine. I didn't see you at your school. Wala ng mga estudyante rito.

May humaplos sa kanyang puso nang mabasa ang mga messages nito. Nakonsensya tuloy siya na hinayaan niyang naka-off ang kanyang cellphone. Halos manlaki rin ang kanyang mga mata sa huling text nito na wala nang estudyante sa school. Does it mean he waited that long? 

She typed in a new message:
I'm sorry,|

She deleted it and typed a new one:
Hi, I'll be seeing you tomorrow, ok? ;')

Pagka-send niya ay mayroon agad itong reply. 

Louie:
Thank you. I'll be there.

"Don't cry, love. I'm missing you more..." garalgal ang tinig ng kasintahan ni Janine na si Louie. "I'm sorry," anas nito.

"Don't be sorry!" napalakas na sambit niya. Pilit na pinapakalma ang sarili. 

"I'm not sorry for missing you, hon. I'm sorry for myself," namamaos na untag nito. 

"Please, no..." pinunasan niya ang luha gamit ang kanyang palad. "We'll keep on fighting. Isang taon na lang naman. Mabilis na lang iyon," utal-utal at pumipiyok na usal niya. 

Ngunit siya ay hindi sigurado kung kakayanin pa ba niya ang isang taon na wala ito sa kanyang piling. Kahit pa bigyan ito ng panandaliang bakasyon ay nasisiguro niyang hindi iyon sapat para sa pangungulila nilang dalawa. She couldn't stop herself from crying with the thought that from now on, they may live far from home- far from each other's arms. 

Sure, they have a lifetime ahead but how can they spend it together if her beloved is on the other side of the world?

She was the only young miss of her family. Her family loved her, she had talent in martial arts,looks that could bring down countries and a good fiance-the third prince, she had a bright and cheerful personality. She had everything a lady could wish for.

However her fiance thought that she was too powerful. How could he do as he please if his wife was strong and had the backing of the immortal general who was her grandfather. He could not defy the marriage chosen by the emperor, so he plotted against her in secret and he succeeded.

Before she took her own life she said: I will return as a ghost and will make all of you pay.

She lived countless lives in different worlds, as a human, beast, monster, pet, even demon. She kept a seed of power from every world inside her soul which she refers to as "the core".

Her core returned to her lifeless body and the bright and cheerful young miss was gone .
