PROLOGUE

Dr. Roy Ezekiel M. Arguello

I let out a few bad words as I drove down the dark and slightly steep road of Kenon Road. I don’t know how far I am from the city but that’s all I want, to be far away. I want to stay away until I can no longer feel the pain of my heart or the falling of tears that I never thought I would shed for someone, ever.

I could no longer drive properly so I quickly stopped the car on the side of the road. Not only did the cold breeze greet me, but so did the big lion’s head. My chest ached even more when I remembered that I always brought her here.

I marched towards the edge of the ravine. I could see nothing but darkness. My eyes were burning because of unstoppable tears.

"SHIT!" I screamed and hatred and pain echoed in my voice. "I don't know where I went wrong! I gave my all to you. W-why haven't I been good enough ?!" My shout echoed again throughout Baguio but no one answered the question that bothered me.

"Sean, baby, I want more ... but you have to go .... Roy will be coming soon."

My tears flowed as my fist clenched in anger and pain as I remembered what she had said to him as I stood in the doorway. I hated her for the teasing and the pain he caused me but I knew it was time she looked at me and she apologized, I knew I would accept her again.

The fool, I know, but I love him so much. So before that happened I left and drove away from him. And this is where my car took me ... and still, I couldn't escape her.

"Stupid fúcking love." I said emphatically as I removed the sim card from my cellphone.

I need a new start. Without her presence and without her memories clouding my mind. I need to go somewhere else where I don't need to remember her everytime.

I cussed when I turned on my phone for the last time and saw Trinity on my homescreen. She put it on before I left for the medical mission three months ago. She was sitting on my bed and she was turning his back on the camera. She was wearing nothing but my whitecoat. Her smooth shoulders were exposed, she was seductively looking at the camera while her light brown long curly hair was down on her bare shoulders. Her beautiful green eyes were staring at me through the camera and her red plump lips were parted.

Just like that, it seems like she didn't hurt me because my heart is beating for her again. It took all my willpower to turn off my dámn phone. I will probably regret what I am about to do but I know that when I don’t do it I have no destination if not back to her.

I swallowed and went even closer to the cliff until I could feel the metal wedge on my legs. I took a deep breath before I threw the cellphone and my broken simcard into oblivion. There was a hollow in my stomach, as if my heart had fallen. I just threw away the device full of our memories. However, I did not allow myself to repent. Instead, I wiped away the amusing tears and walked over to my Range Rover.

I will leave before she reaches me. I'm leaving before I'm a fool. So I went home to my apartment. I did not glance at any of our pictures on the wall as I walked out with a suitcase of my belongings. I only looked back when I was on the road and about to exit Baguio. This will be the last time that I will ever set foot in this place and that will also be the last time that I will ever let myself be attached and feel something for someone else.
