A Love Trap

The photo was old and faded but you could still see the beautiful face of the little girl. Her face was tender and her cheeks were rose colored. She wore a princess skirt which complimented her beautiful black hair.

She had a bright smile on her face as she intimately held the arm of the boy beside her.

Jeremy recalled her sister while he stared at the photo. He remembered how sweet she was when she called him brother.

His eyes reflected too much agony. He thought that if he hadn't taken his little sister outside to play then left her alone, she might have been with him right now. He was overwhelmed with regret.

He had no one to blame but himself. His sister wouldn't have been lost if he had been more responsible back then.

Jeremy pondered about what happened to her after the tragic event. He hoped that someone adopted her. He was anxious about how she would've been treated if she did become part of a new family. He always thought that his sister was cute so she must've been cared for and loved by others too.

Jeremy was determined to find her sister. He would stop at nothing for them to be together again.

His eyes swelled with love and tenderness as he stared at the little girl in the photo.

Meanwhile, Andrew and Ashley left the café.

Andrew grabbed Ashley's hand and walked out with her. He didn't say anything as he dragged her out of the place.

Ashley was startled by Andrew's actions. She was confused about why she felt somewhat scared and guilty.

She had no relationship with Andrew. He had no right to meddle about her blind date.

Ashley finally had the courage to react to Andrew's actions.

Ashley looked at Andrew with determined eyes. She then tried her best to get her hand out of his grip, but she failed. Andrew held her so tightly that she wasn't able to break free.

Actually, she felt that Andrew's grip got tighter every time she tried to break loose.
