In the Rain

Peony walks along the road still wondering where her life went wrong. Across the street many people walked, cars went past, the wind blew and she strolled along. The thunder cracked and the lightning streaked the night sky. She was determined to prove herself but how and from where will she start. In every attempt she failed. Never in her nightmares did she imagine she would be accused of being a homewrecker and an intentional liar.

"I'm tired," Peony sighed walking on her own. She had her work piled up, her author's job during the night and the director during the day, her mother's medicinal and hospital expenses rising with each passing day. Her savings dwindled and she also needed to pay Benedict the contracted amount.

In these, she rarely slept. Her health recovered even for a few days and set back to zero as her attempt in revealing Ash's true nature in front of Natalie's parents.
