At this moment the glowing and radiant mood of Erick this morning was nowhere to be seen. It was replaced by a cheerless, dark and sullen vibe around him.
For only God knows how long, he had stayed still on his chair unmoving while leaning his back with his eyes closed. The tears on his face already dried up.
Every thought in his mind was silenced into shock, denial, and grief. He laughed coldly, it was short and harsh.
"I have been fooled, haven't I? All this time, we've all been fooled by her, right?" he mumbled with disbelief.
He put his hands to his head, tugging his hair tightly. The desolation he felt was consuming him.
However in that darkest moment he still found himself thinking and seeing the beautiful image of his beloved woman. Elle's smiling face with her eyes filled with love just suddenly popped up in his consciousness.
