NICK'S POV

Present Day...

England

I didn't really want to come here to party or to meet new investors for the company though it would be nice to be working with English men. I heard all of the elite families were invited to this party so I was hoping Damon and Savannah were here too.

Until I finally spotted her the second she entered the doors wearing a bright sparkly red dress with her huge stomach in front of her. Her hair was wavy and long. Her make up was just light but she's still beautiful. She grew fatter now but she's still goddamn gorgeous. I began following her every step around the ballroom hall but I was a few steps behind her.

I still followed her secretly as she sits down on a table with Damon. She eats peacefully while her husband talks to the other women next to him. She doesn't look happy being here with her husband. She looks sad and she looks like she doesn't want to be here right now. I know she wants to leave.

She forks her foods, moreover playing with it, she doesn't look interested on the people around here. I take a sip from my champagne until she stands from her chair. I stood up too. Damon grabs her wrist and pulled her down. They talked for a while. I think they're having a little fight but Savannah finally headed out of the room.

I take a long drink from my glass and followed her as she heads out of the door. We walked along the hallways but I was just following her and I think she doesn't know that I'm following her. She just keeps on walking and she would turn when there's a corner. I don't know where she is heading but I'm sure she doesn't know where to go too. I still followed her anyways.

Until she enters a room and as I read the sign from the outside, it reads as garden planetarium. She enters peacefully and I followed her in. She walks closer to the fountain and slowly moved her head up to the angels with trumpets. She moves her head back down to the fountain. I started walking closer to her sneakily.

"It's a wishing well." I called out.

She froze and turned around. Her eyes dilated when she saw me. Her fists curling into a ball and she looks at me impassively. I knew it, she won't be expecting me to be here. For some reason my heart is beating fast. It's been a while I haven't seen her.

"Hi." I greeted her with a smile.

Looking at her like this after all these years, makes me wish to turn back time to when she was still mine.

"Hi." She speaks.

I took a deep breath in. "How are you?"

She gazed at me and started walking while I started following her again. I gained a little speed to catch up with her and when I was close enough from behind her, I slower my pace. Every step she takes, I do with the same foot.

It felt like I was her shadow and everywhere she goes I follow.

"I'm doing good." She glanced at me over her shoulder. "How about you?"

Finally we stood next to each other and continued walking around this magnificent cultured garden.

"Missing you." I say.

She shyly looks away and smiled at herself. "I told you don't come and find me. But here you are."

"I was invited by Mr. Edwards."

Her face falls. "Oh." I think she was expecting that I came here for her.

She continued walking ahead and I pulled out my hand from my pocket. I want to hold her hand for a while and just feel her touch that I'm longing for. But I don't think she will like it.

"But when I heard it's here in England, I came as soon as possible." I said.

"You didn't want me to come and find you and this birthday party is my reason of coming here in England..." I trailed.

"But a huge part of it is mostly because of you." I added.
