#Book 2 Chapter 18
” It’s okay. I can walk back to the house by myself.”
” Really? Okay then. I’m really sorry Nass. Byeeee” I watched him run towards a boat at a very quick pace before walking back to the terrace of the house.
I’ll just stay here for a while…
I sat on a chair that was sitting there since none of Keian’s men told me that this is also forbidden so I decided to stay here all by myself for a little while.
Gathering my thoughts altogether, I enjoyed the cold breeze of the ocean wind alone.

Keian narrowed his eyes at me as I enter the house.
” Where have you been?” He asked.
My eyes landed on the couch, the house seemed eerily quiet.
“Where’s Nami?” I didn’t mind answering his first question.
” She’s sleeping in the bedroom” then I turned my eyes to the room whose door was closed.
” Answer my question Nass” I sighed heavily.
“I just came from the terrace.” He strode towards me so I had to look up to meet his eyes.
” Liar” he whispered to himself.
My mouth gaped in shock. But this one definitely makes me want to laugh my heart out.
” You went to that f—ing guy you call your friend—”
“And how can you say that I did go to him?! Do you have proof that you saw me?” I raised my voice out of irritation and frustration.
” No. But I know–”
“Then don’t jump into accusations just like that! I was just at the terrace! You could ask your—”
” Shut up Nass! Nami is sleeping” I suddenly felt a pang on my chest.
Why? Why is he being like this again? Why do I feel less important than the other women?
“So what if she wakes up?! She shouldn’t be in this place in the first place. If you don’t want Lem here, then she shouldn’t be here either!” He suddenly grabbed my shoulder.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
” She was hurt Nassandra! Can’t you understand that!?” I could also feel my lips tremble while speaking.
” We made a promise! You made a promise that all your attention will be mine” My voice was getting rough as I said those words.
I can’t help but feel the bitterness eat me. I don’t care if that makes me the desperate one here.
He made a promise. He said he will keep his promise…
What I’m feeling right now is probably due to my pregnancy, too.
Don’t blame me for feeling… all of this.
“Are you really that desperate for attention?! You are not like this. The Nassandra that I knew is understanding in any situation right no—”
” Don’t tell me what I am and what I’m supposed to be! You also despise Lem and never wanted him to be here. Why does Nami—”
“Nass, we’re just going around in circles in this argument!” his grip on my shoulder tightened.
” It’s because you don’t understand what I’m saying!” He suddenly pushed me against the wall and cornered me there.
” You are the one who doesn’t understand. You don’t understand any of this… sh8t. Nami… I’ve been with her for 2 years! We spent a lot of time with each other more than the two of us do. I only know you for 9 months! Who do you think is the one I know the most?! You or her?!” My breathing hitches. All of a sudden I just felt suffocated.
” Are you saying that she’s more important than me?” He flashed a variety of vicious glare at me.
” At least she has no f—ed up past that could harm all the people around her!” Keian’s outburst echoed through the house which just added to the whole dramatic effect.
Whereas for me I felt like I just lost the ability to breathe. I went very still…
” Keian? What’s going on?” Keian turned to Nami who went out of her room while I maintained my eyes on the ground.
” It’s nothing… You should go back to sleep”
” I heard your argument. If you want me to leave, it’s alright. I’m the one being the disturbance here.”
” No—”
” It’s okay, Nami. You can stay as long as you want” I almost whispered.
Keian glanced in my direction.
I looked at him in the eyes and suddenly his eyeballs looked like they’re about to pop out.
” I am the one who has a f—ed up past after all” Keian’s expression softened. He took a step back from me and lowered his head.
” I’m going to stay at the tent. I have no intention of going to Lemuel…” He clenched his fists.
” Nass— no, I’ll stay there” I glanced at him, looking tired as ever.
“Just leave me alone, please” He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but in the end, he just nodded and turned his back on me.
I went out of the house again and went to our tent.
Why???
