Ever since she knew about Caitlin and everything that she doesn't know before, they often quarrel about a little thing. For Brian to restrain himself from hurting her, he always left her alone in the mansion.
Sometimes their fight will drag for about a week, and sometimes it's only a few days. And Brian always returns home at night time when she already asleep. Only that time can he avoid quarreling with her.
He loves her, but his love is intoxicating with his obsession. He can't control himself when it comes to her. And because she was pregnant, he tries as much as he can to be gentle with her, but she always ends up picking a fight with him.
Everything is wrong in her eyes, and he doesn't know how else he can handle her.
In her eight months of pregnancy, she asks his permission to return back to her adoptive parents' house in Singapore. She plans on staying with her parents for a few days before she returns again to the USA.
Since she was insisting on going back to Singapore, Brian let her go. He said that he will be joining her there a few days later since he still had a job here. He doesn't know why, but these days her mood a bit brighten.
She was super happy when he grants her wishes to go there. He thought she reacts like that maybe it was because she was missing her parents and that's why she was happy. Well, as long as she's happy, he will try to cooperate with her demands.
"Is everything already packed? Why you only bring a small bag?" He asked when he saw she only bring her backpack.
Lisa smile. "I don't need a big suitcase. I don't intend to stay long." She takes out a necklace with a weird small rod before she put it on his neck. Secretly activate it while caressing his hair.
"I want you to try to remember a sweet moment with me when I'm not around. Maybe from when you start noticing me until now?" Lisa smiles show him her pearly white teeth.
Brian frowned. "And why is that?"
Chuckles, she said. "Nothing. It just for a momento. Maybe someday, you'll need it." She said and turned her body around to the chauffeur.
"We can go now." She said to the chauffeur and kissed Brian on his cheek. "Goodbye. Take care when I'm not around anymore."
Brian smiles. It's been long since she touches him. He grabs on Lisa's hand and pulls her into his embrace. "Don't do something I don't like, okay? I love you." He kissed her on the lips, and Lisa let him.
"Yeah..bye." She gets inside the car and waves her hand to Brian. Her face was filled with a smile. It makes him a bit happy. After a long time, finally, she was cheerful again.
…
Lisa landed a bit late that day. She went to her parent's house and chatting non-stop with them.
She was so happy, like enjoying her life to the fullest. The next day, she went to downtown, and while she was eating ice cream at Merlion Park, she saw someone who she known. Familiar with his figure even from afar.
"Harry?" She said, and run to him. She was so happy when she saw him today. She thought she would never saw him again.
She didn't notice the traffic light has turned green when she crosses the road and...
Screech!! Bang!
…
Harry turned his head around when he heard a loud sound from behind him. The moment he saw the woman who was already lying down on the ground, he immediately bolts to her.
"Lisa?! Lisa...Oh my god, help! Call an ambulance!" He shouts, and a few bystanders make a call for an ambulance.
"Ha-harry.." She smiles. Slowly opening her eyes when she feels so dizzy and a bit blurry.
"Don't talk, Lisa. The ambulance will come right now. Breathe..follow me." He guides her to breathe while he already cries a bit. Why the hell is she in here right now? In this country? Isn't she in the USA, why?
"Hey, …I-I need to give you something.." She hardly said, and slowly she pulls her necklace. "This.." She inhales deeply. Her baby was still moving inside her tummy, but her chest was so hard to expand for breathing right now. Probably she got severely broken ribs right now. Which means, her chance to live is quite low. With the running blood from her injuries...there's no chance for her.
"Harry…please, save my daughter first when you arrive at the hospital. And…" She held his hand tightly, even though it was tough for her to keep breathing and talk at the same time.
"I.." She inhales, "I love you, Harry." she hardly exhales. She tries to smiles. If it was her last day in this world, she wants him to know how she feels about him. For a very long time, her love for him never fades.
Harry wipes his tears and nose. "I know. I love you too. I love you so much. Hold on Lisa..I-"
Lisa grips his hand tightly when she felt a sharp pain in her chest. "I'm sorry...I didn't..marry you." Her hand falls on the ground while her eyes still open, looking at him.
"It's okay…I won't marry anyone else." He said, and his body was trembling so hard when he knew she already passed away.
"Lisa…" He tries to find her pulse on her hand, but she was gone. He cries while all the onlookers help to calm him down. Slowly, he closed her eyes while his tears fall like a broken dam.
A minute later, the ambulance arrives and bring her to the hospital. Her baby was in a critical condition. But luckily, the baby was saved.
…
A few hours later,
Harry was still waiting in front of the morgue with Lisa's parents. He holds on Lisa's necklace that she gave to him tightly.
When Brian comes to the morgue, the first person he beat up is Harry, and he just let Brian beat him like a doll. If that's the only way, he could calm down.
It takes a bunch of guys to stop him from punching Harry while Harry never utters one word at all. "It's your fault she died!"
Harry nods his head. He agrees with his statement. Yes, his fault for causing her death. If only he finds courage and says his love to her from the beginning, this would not happen.
He only comes here to send medicine for Alex, but who would've thought that Lisa was here too today? She did run to him, didn't she? Is that a reason why she….died?
It's all because of him.
"Brian, that's enough. If my daughter saw this, she'll be sad. Please don't accuse Harry of something that he didn't do. Harry was the one who helps her and your daughter. Please, this is a morgue, not a ring to fight." Mr. Ling said firmly.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Ling," Harry said, and he took out a picture from his wallet to give to the old man.
"This is her favorite picture. She always likes this picture of us, so, if you don't mind.." He reaches Mr. Ling's hand and gives the picture of Lisa to her father. It's a picture that Harry treasure the most.
Mr. Ling pat on Harry's back. He knows how close they are. Of course, if compared between Harry and Brian, he would prefer Harry as his son-in-law. But her daughter chooses Brian as her husband.
"I will bury it with her." He said, and Harry hugs the old man. "Thank you," he said and leave the morgue.
He's not in a state to walk anymore. Not until his twin brother fetch him up and bring him back to the hotel.
Harry misses her funeral day as he can't even move from his bed. He was very sick. A sudden shock which makes him in grievance for so long. It took him a year to finally let her 'go.'
And he didn't marry anyone as he promised to her. He was hoping that somewhere, somehow, he'll meet her again in another universe or in another life.
…
"Milady?" Kiera speaks up when she already has done with showing all the life records of Lisa, Harry, and Brian.
Lily curled up and cried as much as she wants. Harry was right. It should be better if she did not see this... it's heartbreaking when knowing that her mother had so many difficulties in her love life.
She was crying there until she falls asleep on the floor.
