Chapter 100
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 100<\/p>\n
The weather in Cabinda at the end of September was just about perfect. The air was calm, the sky clear and blue like polished glass, with clouds drifting by in all kinds of shapes.<\/p>\n
It was especially nice up in the mountains.<\/p>\n
Eagle Peak was a well-known vacation spot in Cabinda. But the area Bonnie was in was still under development. No tourists in sight. Just empty hills and her, with plenty of space. She set her drone on the flattened ground, ready to work.<\/p>\n
The client\u2019s car was parked far off in the distance. After checking out the site, they\u2019d told her they needed to visit the new sports center in Phase One and would meet her back here in two hours.<\/p>\n
Bonnie took advantage of the time, taking extra aerial shots from every angle she could think of.<\/p>\n
Reviewing the video on her phone, she couldn\u2019t help but catch glimpses of Phase One: the winding road up the mountain, the racetrack, the Ferris wheel, the lakeside villas. All of it felt so familiar.<\/p>\n
Three years had gone by, and she could still remember how happy she and Lawrence had been here together.<\/p>\n
She remembered slipping behind the wheel of Lawrence\u2019s favorite sports car, zipping around those mountain turns\u2026 or at least, trying to. It wasn\u2019t long before her nerves got the better of her and she pulled over.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d laughed at her, called her chicken, but his eyes burned with that intensity that always made her catch her breath. Leaning across the seat, he\u2019d unbuckled his belt and kissed her, warm and fierce.<\/p>\n
They\u2019d gone on the Ferris wheel, too. Lawrence had picked up the idea somewhere that if you kissed at the very top, your love would last forever.<\/p>\n
So naturally, they rode it again and again, never getting bored.<\/p>\n
Bonnie used to tease him for being so superstitious, saying it was just a cheesy clich\u00e9 from some romantic drama. But Lawrence believed in it with all his heart, and even took her on a special trip to a temple.<\/p>\n
But instead, she locked eyes with him through the glass. Calm. Controlled. Then she turned around and walked away.<\/p>\n
Lawrence shut his eyes for a moment, breathing in and out, hands trembling on the steering wheel. He really had run out of options. Bonnie wouldn\u2019t take his calls, wouldn\u2019t see him. This was the only way he could get her to show up.<\/p>\n
He clenched his fist, steadying himself, then finally got out of the car and hurried after her.<\/p>\n
Bonnie picked up her pace. Wind tugged at her skirt, flung strands of hair into her face. None of it compared to the storm going on inside her. She could hear Lawrence\u2019s footsteps behind her, and the anger she\u2019d been trying to bury finally started to boil over, fierce and raw.<\/p>\n
She clenched her jaw, refusing to let herself speak a single word to Lawrence. Her walk turned into a jog, then a run, desperate to avoid being dragged back into his orbit on this quiet mountain road.<\/p>\n
Lawrence watched her go, his heart heavy. He couldn\u2019t help but think back to three years ago, up at the ski resort. They\u2019d fought there, too. Bonnie had been so stubborn, ignoring his explanations, carrying her snowboard by herself, stomping away from him in the snow, one determined step at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-768","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
