RIGHT

Chapter 1

A/N:   RIGHT is a story of love and heartbreak, of choosing and losing, of staying when it hurts and leaving when it feels impossible.

I promise you this: by the end of this book, you will be an emotional wreck.

So, keep your tissues close and try not to fall for Aiden because no matter how tempting he is, he was always meant for Emerald.

Happy Reading!

"Celestine."

A melodious yet mournful voice arose from behind her. She swirled, slowly, to face the person.

" Why did you come here, Erasmus?" Celestine asked. Not long ago, tears still lingered on her face, with the raging storm inside her.

The man took a step closer to her, as the myriad of words swirled in his head; nevertheless, he said the words that he knew, she desperately yearned to hear from him for a long time now.

"I had to come." Erasmus's eyes were blazing with the fire of ferocious passion. "Because I love you."

Silence fell.

Anticipation increased.

The intensity of his words has crumbled her heart. It was too late now to confess. She cried too many times for this very day, and longed to hear these very words for too many nights, but now all she could feel was bitterness and anguish.

Then, without a sound, she ran away. Runaway with confession lingering in the air, breaking his heart, leaving him with the deepest despair and in the dark. And worse, breaking her own heart.

Love is really twisted, isn't it?

Some fortunate ones fell in love, they immersed themselves in love, they fought for love, and in the end, they won love.

Some unfortunate ones fell in love, they immersed themselves in love, they fought for love, and in the end, they almost had it, almost. Because they give up when it was only mere odds away, and they are defeated in love.

Reluctantly, with a heavy sigh, I closed the book ' Dangerous illusion'.

I was running out of time; I should have stopped reading an hour ago and headed to the bathroom. Nonetheless, the thick desperation inside me compelled me to continue reading the book.

Of course, it was not because I was curious about the next happening as I had read the same book, a considerable number of times, that each line was engraved in my brain like data in the computer, but rather it was because the next part was the sequence I loved to read time and again.

Tick.

Tick.

The light of dawn seeped into my room; there was a pearly glow in the sky. The silence was so thick that one could easily hear the dropping of a pin. Sitting on the chair near the window, I could clearly gaze at the dancing trees, the chirping of birds, and the grass peeping through the concrete, giving the inspiration that, however difficult the situation is, there is always a way to overcome the problem. At that very moment, nothing could stop me from admiring nature, not even if the world was ending.

A new day has arrived.

I looked up at the azure sky, hoping that this new day would bring something good because hoping was the only option left for me. Suddenly, another wave of cold air drifted around me, giving rise to shivers on my body from the cold. My grip tightened on the blanket, which was wrapped around me and protecting me from the harsh breeze that was springing through the window.
