"5, I met you. Understood that I was born to marry you. You were silent, you were shy. But I managed to make you be my friend.

At age 13, I fell in love with you. I loved your cheeky smile.  I loved the way I am the only person you rely on.

At age 17, I became yours and promised myself to you. I pledged to wait for you no matter how long. You were sweet, caring, and treated me like I'm the only woman in your world.

At age 18, you left. Moving to another country to meet the future that you are born to. I waited but you hardly called.

At age 25, you came back for me, but you're not the man I knew.
From the day I was born, I was meant to be his. It was okay. Everything was great. I loved him as we played on the playgrounds, as we watched grow up- and he loved me. Suddenly, he left with his father to go to Italy leaving me behind for seven years, he came back but he wasn't the same.
From the day I was born, I was meant to be his. I was happy to be his. But he was no longer the man who I was betrothed to"

His betrothed

　　Two weeks had passed and I am tired for the day. I have been working by day and studying by night every day and I feel so sleepy. By the end of my shift today, I went straight to the cafe to study. If I can, I do not study in my bedroom. The bed is always calling my name if I do so. Nonetheless, I managed to drive my way home at night. Matteo informed me that he cannot pick me up today since he is busy at work. He sent one of his men to deliver the car here. I don’t understand why he keeps insisting on picking me up. It really is not necessary. He literally is busy with work, he handles a good number of companies for heaven’s sake, plus, I do not have to deal with him as often.


　　On my way up to the penthouse, I decided to check my phone. I haven’t been able to actually turn it on today since I was so busy. The only time I turned it on was when Matteo texted me. I noticed the date today.
