"What did you do?"

"I already told you I didn't do anything." Becky turns to look at them with an angry glare, "Do you guys seriously think I'm capable of what? Kidnapping a grown man by myself? Who do you think I'm? James Bond?" She scoffs.

"Becky..." Freen begins.

"No." Becky cuts her off. "We all know I'm not the only one who holds a grudge against him. There is plenty of people who despises him. It could have been anyone. If there is one thing he does constantly, it's pissing people off."

"Fine." Richie hums, "But where were you?"

She let's out a deep sigh, "I drove to Pattaya. I went to my house, I looked around. I don't know, I just needed the peace and the quiet only that place could give me."

*****************************

"Hey! You okay?" Becky asks as she enters their bedroom and spotting Freen in deep thought. She was already in bed, under the covers.

"Mmm." Freen hums, then raises both of her hands beckoning Becky to come closer, "Come here! Kiss me."

"Nope." Becky mumbles, "Not doing that." But she still gets into bed and under the covers.

"Becky...." Freen whines.

Becky shakes her head, "I'm still scared about last night, what if I had hurt you? Why didn't you tell me?"

Freen huffs, "I was afraid of your reaction and I didn't want you to stop."

Becky kept looking at her unimpressed, not making a move.

"I want you Becky." Freen whines again.

Becky laughs, "After I talk to your doctor on your next appointment."

"You can't do this to me." Freen huffs annoyed.

Becky grins, an amused smile on her face, "I'm not doing anything."

"Exactly. You can't deny me sex." Freen says crossing her arms over her chest.

"When did you become so needy?" Becky chuckles.

Freen shakes her head, but she can’t hide the traces of the smile that’s pulling at her lips. "You were away for a month, I'm touch starved. And sex starved."

"It's just a month. This is probably the hormones." Becky sighs, but there’s a playful undertone.

"Whatever. Just come here and kiss me." This time Freen doesn't hold back, she pulls Becky by the collar of her pajamas until their lips meet in a heated kiss.

"Freen..." Becky breathes out when she feels Freen's hand on her breasts squeezing lightly. She let's out an involuntary moan.

"Hmmm.." Freen hums.

"Maybe not tonight." Becky says abruptly pulling away from the kiss.

When Freen pulls back, her eyes are searching, she’s also a little breathless, "Why?" A look of guilt crosses Becky's face or Freen thinks that's what it is.

"I'm tired, and not really in the mood." Becky murmurs, her eyes almost pleading.

"O..okay." Freen doesn't argue, but she knows something is wrong. Because Becky is never someone to say no to sex.

"Becky?" Freen calls once they settle into bed on their respective sides, "Can I ask you something?"

"Yes." Becky responds, turning on her side to face Freen.

"Do you miss him?" Freen asked breathing heavily, "Is that why you went back there?"

Becky frowns in confusion, "Miss who?"

"Saint." Becky's body tensed, she looked at Freen, her eyes wide in shock, "What?" Becky shakes her head, "Where's this coming from?"

Freen sighs and shuts her eyes tight.

"Do you..." Becky pauses, "do you miss him?" She asks, Freen's eyes suddenly opens, Becky's gaze piercing through her.

Freen sighed and chewed her lip, "It's not that I miss his presence, it's more about those times when everything wasn't so dreadful, I know it was still complicated but still somehow simpler."

"I can understand." Becky said, bringing her hand to Freen's cheek gently caressing her.

"But I wouldn't want to change any of what happened, Freen." Becky says, "I know it's selfish, I know and I still regret everyday that I hurt you. But if I hadn't met him, I wouldn't have met you. If I hadn't met you I wouldn't have found my way back to myself, because you Freen, you are my person, my soulmate, the love of my life. Regardless of how we met, I cherish every moment I had with you. And will continue to do so."

Becky gently wiped the tears that fell from Freen's eyes.

"So do not think for a minute that you're not enough for me. Cause you are everything I want and God knows I'm not worthy of your love after what I had done to you." Becky releases a deep breath, Freen places her hand over Becky's which is still resting on her cheek. "I still wonder how you can choose to love me every single day after everything. So no Freen, I didn't go there because I missed anyone or because you weren't enough, I went back because no matter what had happened there, that place still gives me comfort. I just needed to quiet the buzzing in my head." She falters, voice breaking.

"I’m sorry," Becky breathes, lowering her gaze in shame.

"No." Freen corrects, her voice impossibly soft, impossibly warm. She reaches out, tilts Becky's chin up and meets her reluctant gaze with a smile. "Don't be so hard on yourself. Becky nobody has ever made me feel the way you make me feel, no one has ever loved me the way you love me. You are everything I ever need."

She stops, struggles for a moment, searching for the right words, but there were no right words, there was only one thing that kept repeating in her mind, "I love you Becky."

"I love you too." Becky says softly, before leaning forward to press her lips against Freen's.

"Is that your phone?" Freen asks pulling back.

Becky sighs as she reaches out to take her phone, "It's Heng."

Freen frowns, "Why is he calling at this time?"

Becky shakes her head having no clue, "Put it on speaker." Freen says.

"Heng?" Becky answers.

"Becky! Where are you?" Came Heng's panicked voice from the other end.

"At home."

"Is Freen and Lyra with you?"

"Yes. What is going on Heng?" She exchange a look of worry with Freen.

"Becky listen to me very carefully, Nam and Richie are on their way to you. Nam will stay with Freen and Lyra and make sure they are alright. But you, you need to leave with Richie. He will take you somewhere safe."

Freen grabs Becky's hand, tightening her hold, the fear evident in her eyes.

"Safe?" Becky mumbles, "What happened Heng?"

"Where is your engagement ring?"

Becky suddenly looks down at her hands not finding the ring there, "I...it's not here."

"Did you have it with you when you went to work?"

"I did." Becky says thinking back, "Oh!" She exclaims as if she suddenly remembers something, "Someone spilled coffee on me this morning, I took the ring off when I went to wash myself. I must have forgot."

"No you didn't. It was all part of his plan."

A terrible dread rises in her chest, "What plan?"

"He is framing you. The police are already on their way."
