Phang Nga (Phra Thong Island): New House-
Liphan finished her shower and got dress. She had made up her mind to forget everything that happened last night. She got through it the first time that everyone thought they had sex, so she can get through it this time. This time is different though. This time she really had sex.
Prince had left the house and Liphan felt relieved that he did. She really didn’t know if she can pretend to be okay. Liphan doesn’t know if it would be a good idea to visit Beige either. She d break down if she did. This time she really betrayed her cousin.

Phang Nga (Phra Thong Island): Market-
“Be careful,” said Son as he grabbed onto Beige’s arm before she tripped on a wooden plank.
Beige kept a careful gaze upon Son throughout their expedition. He is a caring guy. If only he didn’t do what he did to her, it would be so much easier to let him off the hook. Perhaps she would be in love with him. Perhaps he’d be a great father to her baby. But, he took everything away from her. Everything she loved. All she could do now is let him try to redeem himself, something she’s never let a defendant do before. After meeting Son, she has become so weak.
Prince walked along the market and some of the vendors called out to him and asked how he is enjoying the island and being married to Liphan. All Prince could respond with is a nod and a smile. He really didn’t know what he could say. When he married her, he wasn’t in love with her. He in fact never thought of her as a woman. But, seeing her stubbornness and her selfless acts towards her friends and family has really made her different. She is different from other women he has met before.
“Kwang was stubborn, opinionated, and fierce. But, I was able to read her. I was able to see her weakness, see that she can break,” thought Prince.
“Beige…she was cute, polite, and just. I was also able to read her. Then she suddenly left and I pretended to…” thought Prince. Then he looked across through to the other vendors in the next row.
Son grabbed onto Beige’s hand and placed it on his arm. He smiled at her tenderly as she smiled back. She began to relax, but then a smell caught her nose and she felt nauseous. Son sensed it and asked the vendor for a plastic bag. Prince decided to rush over and see if everything is okay with Beige.
“Looks like our marketplace isn’t good for a pregnant woman’s hormones,” chucked the vendor.
Prince reached Beige and Son in time to hear the vendor’s comment. Beige looked up from her plastic bag and saw Prince staring at her and Son. Son looked up and his expression was worrisome. Prince walked up to the two and told them he wanted to know the truth. They all walked back to the house.

Phang Nga: Boat-
“You are out of your mind,” stated Gai. “You really want me to be pregnant or something don’t you?”
First chuckled and apologized to Gai. He promised he won’t bring up pregnancy again unless she brings it up. Gai told First that she just has food poison and that she isn’t pregnant. So they continued on their way back to the island.

Phang Nga (Phra Thong Island): Old House-
Prince, Beige, and Son sat around the table and Son began to speak first. He told Prince about how he met Liphan and his family situation. He then told of how he met Beige and knew about her family. Then, he told about the night of the rape. Prince should be raged, but he felt guilty instead for blaming Liphan for all the mess. He also remembered how Nick got Kwang all to himself.
“The good guys never win,” thought Prince to himself realizing that perhaps Beige is now in love with Son.
Beige then looked up at Prince and told him that she was blackmailed by Son. But, she also told Prince that it was her fault for allowing the blackmail to happen. If she hadn’t run away from Prince in the first place, they wouldn’t be in this situation. She decided to tell Prince that their marriage was all a set up by their parents. And then she told Prince that she had fallen in love with him and that’s why she didn’t want their marriage to be a lie. She then told Prince that Liphan didn’t know anything that happened. Son interrupted and told Prince that he confessed everything to Liphan a few days ago. She helped him resolve his debts.
“She also knows that I love Beige. I asked for a week to treat Beige right before turning myself in. And now, Beige is pregnant…with my baby,” stated Son.
Beige was shocked by the love confession. She knew deep down that Son had feelings for her, but she didn’t think it would affect her this much.
“It’s just hormones,” thought Beige. Then she started bawling.
“You love him too,” stated Prince. “I know you do.”
Prince is able to read Beige before she realizes this herself. Beige is still in denial that she loves Son.
“How can I love my rapist?” asked Beige.
The two men didn’t know how to comfort Beige. One who had fallen completely in love with her and one who fell for another.
“What’s up with all this crying?” asked Gai as she stepped into the house.
Everyone turned to look at First and Gai holding shrimp and lobsters that they bought from the ranch.
“Oh, you all finally find out the truth about things?” asked Gai.
Prince excused himself and Gai called after him to tell him to invite Liphan over for dinner.

Phang Nga (Phra Thong Island): Bay-
“Khun Noo Liphan, you’re not supposed to be here until next week,” stated a pear farm worker.
Liphan looked at him and told him she wanted to work because it is boring staying at home. She walked around the bay check marking her list as she completed each task like she once did before getting married.
“Whew, what an exhausting day. Never thought it’d be this tiring returning after a break. It at least made me forget about…” thought Liphan. Then she smacked herself in the head for thinking of last night.
Liphan went to her office and sat down in her chair. She twirled her chair around trying to forget everything. After a few minutes she gave up on trying to forget and placed her head on her desk. Soon, she drifted off to sleep after a tiring day returning to work.

Phang Nga (Phra Thong Island): New House-
When Prince arrived home, Liphan wasn’t there. He went upstairs and carefully opened the door to the bathroom. He hadn’t showered since the morning and hated that he had let himself out of the house smelling like alcohol. It was very unlike him. After stepping out of the shower contemplating what Liphan told him that morning, he decided to take Nick’s advice and do some yoga. Prince didn’t bring his mat with him, but found some cds in his cd case and ran downstairs to place it in the cd player. He began to listen to the soothing music and stretched to the beats. After doing that for an hour, Prince turned off the music and Nick’s words rang in his ears.
“I love her,” stated Prince. “I really do love her.”
The sky is now starting to get dark and Prince worried where Liphan had gone to. “She couldn’t think of harming herself…could she?” asked Prince.
“No, she’s not that type. She’s strong-willed,” stated Prince.
Prince got up off the floor and walked to the screen door and peered out. There were no signs of Liphan returning.
“I don’t want to get a divorce, ignorant girl,” stated Prince. “I want to stay married.”
Prince’s heart began to beat faster and faster thinking about what he wants to say to Liphan.
“I can’t stand here and wait for you to return. I have to go find you,” whispered Prince.
He ran to grab his sandals and opened the door and ran down the road, not knowing exactly where he’d find Liphan.

Sydney Australia-
“Hey Thomas, where is Annie? “ asked Mary as she opened the door to let Thomas into her flat.
“Oh, she said she’ll meet us at the rink,” said Thomas.
Mary grabbed her keys and her wallet and the two headed out to the ice skating facility. Annie showed up 20 minutes late and noticed her brother trying hard to flirt with her friend. She laughed and approached the two teasing her brother. Mary looked at Annie funny, hinting that she didn’t like the teasing. She really likes Knight and she doesn’t want her friend’s teasing to lead Thomas on. Plus, she doesn’t want Nappa’s leftover. Even though, Knight sort of dated Nappa first. Even if he claims he didn’t.

Phang Nga (Phra Thong Island): Bay-
Prince asked around and some of the workers who got off their shift told Prince that Liphan had gone to work today and they are surprised she hadn’t headed home yet. Some teased Prince of whether he wasn’t good enough to make her satisfied at home. They gave him a pat on the shoulder and continued on their way.

Sydney Australia-
After dropping Annie off at her apartment, Thomas walked Mary to hers. Mary placed her key in the key hole, but Thomas quickly grabbed her shoulders and puckered his lips to hers. Her eyes grew wide.
“Mary,” stated Knight as he witnessed his girlfriend kiss another guy. He dropped the vase he bought for her and ran off.

Sorry for the wait. Just been very busy lately.
--------------------------
Omg, so long since I last updated. Sorry
Been busy with work/I have a hard time thinking of what to write next. I had a summary written out, but obviously nothing went as planned and now I want to know what you want more of in this story. Is it going okay? Do you want more sweet scenes, more fighting, more drama, more interaction between certain characters? Let me know. I originally planned for this to end at Ch. 18 and because I changed the storyline, it can still end at 18, but it will be rushed. And I don't want that. I totally bs'd this Chapter 17...haha. I realized I've always made my characters part from each other and I don't want that in this one. So, if I add drama, it'll be different
Give me ideas please!!
