Chapter 3

The sight that greeted him was one he would never forget. There she was always looks like an angel to him. Dancing with her groom on the dance floor. 5 minutes ago, they were officially a married couple.

Sian let out a heavy breath. How he wish he would be her husband not that man. But how could he ever think of that when all this happened was because of him. He had been the one who pushed her away. Broke her heart and now he wanted nothing more than to run and drinking himself to oblivious.

When he made a move to get away from the wedding, someone caught him without him noticed. The woman in his dream stopped her dancing husband and whispered something to him and made her way to the isolated man.

Sian was about to leave the spot he was hiding when he heard that voice. The voice that had hunted his dreams for years.

”Professor Reynald”

So cold yet so distance.

“Mrs. Durren” he greeted her. He swore that he saw something flashes in her eyes before she masked her face back.

“Why are you here, Sian?” That’s it. All of her compose melt away when she cannot longer stay cold to him. How she missed him!

Sian tried not to give himself away so he keep his face straight and cold. He tried to make some snide remark but thought better of it. After all, he came to make some peace with her.

”Mrs. Durren, I think it is inappropriate for you to speak that way with me since you are now someone’s wife”

The look Rachel was giving him was incredulous. Hurt was evident in her eyes. How can she still loved him despites everything he had done to her?

“Well, you are right professor. I am someone’s wife” it was barely a whisper when she said that. The word someone’s wife stung at his heart. Now he realized she was not his anymore or will ever be. But instead of congratulates her, he closed the gap between them. He let his guard down and stared in her eyes.

”I wish you a happiness with him. Let go of me, Rachel. Give yourself a chance to love him the way you do with me. He deserves that, your love”

A single tear drop from her eyes. Sian wiped away her tears and says,

“Don’t cry, sweet. It will ruin your face. You are and always be a gorgeous one to me, Rachel”

Rachel had enough of this when she threw herself at him and catched him off guard.

“I love you! Why can’t you understand that? Why, Sian, why?” She practically wet Sian’s coat with her tears not that he even cared.

From where he stood with Rachel, he noticed her husband seemed to search for his wife. He knows his time with her running late. Thinking it was a last time, he bent his head down and kiss her forehead.

“Go, Rachel. Your husband is searching for you. You don’t want him caught you seeking comfort in another man’s arms, do you?” Said him with a chuckle.

Rachel wiped all the evident of her tears. Sian took his chance to tuck her falling hair behind her ear and smiled for the last time.

“Let me tell you one thing before I went completely from your life, Sian. Keep in your mind that whatever had happened between will be a past. Our memories however will stay with me until the day I die so does my love for you. Remember me”

Sian was lost at words. He wanted to beg her to leave with him and wanted to say those three words she longed to hear but thought better of it. Then, he sent her away to her husband with a look of longing.

“Goodbye, my love”

End flashback….

He was mad about some student doing a good damn job at ruining his lecture. He wish nothing more than the boy to be expelled from the university he was teaching at.

He was about to make some rude comment at the boy’s exam paper when his door was knocked.

“Enter”

There she was. His most hatred colleague giving him her most sickening smile.

“Hello, Sian!” Her voice made him want to vomit.

“What do you want from me, Sybil?”

The woman named Sybil walked through and was standing at Sian’s right. Without further warning, Sybil closed the gap between them and whispered to him in a very dangerous low voice and perhaps seductive even.

“Don’t you miss me, baby?”

After the words came out from her mouth, Sian acted faster and pushed the woman down on her feet. He sneered and snapped at her,

“Stop this nonsense, Professor Evans! Shame on you!”

If only look could kill, Sybil probably has died a few times.

She got up and stared menacingly at him.

“You have no idea what have you done to me, my dear Sian. But let me tell you, I will never give up on our love and will run after you until you cannot resist me anymore, baby!”

Before she left, she gave him a flying kiss and blurted,

”You know, you are super sexy when you are your snarky-self bastard. I like it so much” At seeing Sian’s murderous look, Sybil Evans quickly got herself out before Sian could speak again.

That cheeky wench!

When Sian could breath properly again, another problem making itself known to him.

An email was sent by the Dean.

“To Professor Reynald,

You are requested to take over Professor Lynch’s class which is chemistry for she has an errand to run. We are sorry to cause any inconveniences for you but we promise that extra income will be reward to you”
