Meeting You Was Fate

Mandy was expressionless; her voice was odd and extremely cold. She talked to Daniel as if they did not know each other from three years ago.

"I know you hate me, but I'm going to die. Will you talk to me for the last time?" It felt like Daniel was begging for her agreement.

"I'm not heartless, but this will be the last time," said Mandy, gnashing her teeth. She just agreed to meet Daniel to get over the situation.

"Thank you, Mand." Regret resounded in Daniel's voice. Mandy sensed it, too.

Mandy was lost in thought again after she talked to Daniel. She used to be so familiar with his voice, but now, it felt like it came from a distance. She rested her head on the chair, remembering their meet-up.

Mandy reminisced on how Daniel had betrayed her on Valentine's Day. If not for that time, she wouldn't have met Nathan, and the Zhou Family wouldn't have suffered a lot. Everything would still be the same.

However, fate had decided!

She couldn't help but think of all the changes that had happened to her and Daniel. 'Daniel has changed. I have changed, too. Everything has changed.'

Mandy and Daniel never encountered any problems in their relationship. They got along well, and everyone thought they would end up walking down the aisle. She never thought that they would have to go on separate ways one day.

It felt like yesterday was just a dream. That sweet dream had ended, and Mandy was now completely awake, and reality had hit her hard.

Suddenly, Mandy missed the good, old days when she lived a simpler yet happier life. Daniel used to bring her breakfast every day. He used to wait for her downstairs every day at 7:30 p.m. without fail. They had studied together in Britain. They weren't in the same class, so Daniel would take her to her classroom first by riding a bicycle. After class, he would also be the first one to finish his classes and would wait for her at the door of her classroom.
