Phang Nga-
“It’s really nice out here,” said Mary walking along the beach with Knight.
“We still have 3 more beaches to visit before heading back to Australia. Our beaches are simply beautiful,” stated Knight.
Blank came running down the beach calling after the two, “Free sea food at the resort today! Prince and Liphan are doing their monthly guest banquet! I can’t believe I forgot all about it. We came at the exact right time!”
Knight and Mary laughed at Blank’s excitement. Mary linked her arms with Knight and Blank came and linked his arms onto Knight.
“Peurn, you’re supposed to link arms with Mary. She’s the girl, this seems really gay,” chuckled Knight.
“Whatever!” shouted Blank.
Then as they were skipping along ambeautiful foreigner jogged by in a lime green bikini. Both Knight and Blank turned to look and their eyes followed her down the beach. Mary noticed and unhooked her arm from Knight and nudged him in the shoulder. Knight smiled and turned back towards her.
“Jealous?” asked Knight.
Blank excused himself and ran after the foreigner.

Phang Nga (Hat Khao Lak): Resort-
“My wife has on a very fancy and sexy yellow dress,” smiled Prince as he finished putting on his vest.
“I know,” smiled Liphan. “I’m glad I’m just going with the messy bun look tonight.”
Prince wrapped his arms around Liphan’s shoulder and gave her a peck on her cheek, “A messy bun cannot compare to the real mess we made moments ago.”
Flashback
“So glad we have a new bed again, similar to the one we have at our house,” said Prince.
“Me too,” said Liphan.
The two had just arrived at the resort from the island. They had not stopped by in a month since Liphan’s parents have been back for a while. Siwah told Liphan he wanted to rest at home because her mom wanted to be closer to Mei Mei. Ta really loves her new granddaughter and was jealous that Yatna frequently visited and got to see her more than she did.
Liphan went to grab a towel in the bathroom and came out to the bedroom again and started to pull off her t-shirt and shorts. Prince sat on the bed and took off his shoes. He quickly glanced at his wife. Her body has gotten better over time.
“It’s the yoga we’ve been doing together,” thought Prince.
Prince pulled off his shirt and Liphan smiled at how Prince is still fit after two years.
“It’s because he doesn’t eat the food I cook him,” thought Liphan. “What kind of man watches fat content?”
Liphan wrapped her towel around and walked into the bathroom about to close the door, but a foot prevented the door from shutting. Liphan peeked out; Prince smiled at her with luring eyes. She couldn’t resist that eye of his and that little smirk that he puts on when he wants something. She also can’t resist that plump lip of his.
Liphan opened the door for Prince to come in. Prince closed the door behind him and picked his wife up and pushed her against the shower wall. The cool tiles pressed against Liphan’s shoulder and sent shudders. Prince grabbed where Liphan had tucked in her towel and released it so that it fell on the shower floor.
Prince rubbed his hands along Liphan’s arm and clasped onto her hands and raised it above her head as leaned in to kiss her tenderly. Their tongues synced with one another and the temperature rose between them as they both wanted each other.
Prince pulled Liphan off the wall and she pressed him against the wall herself. Prince smiled and reached for the nape of her neck and kissed it tenderly. Liphan smiled as Prince teased her and she teased back.
When they finished, Liphan turned on the water and Princed scrubbed Liphan’s back for her. Liphan put her hair up in a bun while she dried herself off. But, Prince stopped her in her tracks and picked her up and put her on the bed. He wanted her more and more today. It was as if she gave off the feline scent. She even meowed for him which made him go crazy for her even more.
End Flashback
“Yeah, look at the bed, I have to make it myself so the housekeepers don’t gossip,” said Liphan.

Bangkok-
Two days alter the couple and Mei Mei went to visit Yatna. Yatna had a meeting to the attend to so the couple decided to go to a carnival held at the Paragon Mall. After a fun-filled time the family came home. Prince noticed a car in the driveway and wondered who would be here. Yatna’s car is also in the car port. Prince got Mei Mei out of the car seat and carried her in while Liphan grabbed a shopping bag and a cracker box.
Inside, Yatna sat awkwardly in the living room and a man sat across from her with his back towards Prince. He looked familiar. Yatna eyed in Prince’s direction and the man turned around.
“Dad!” remarked Prince.
Liphan came in all smiles, but noticed Prince trembling. She put the bags down and walked over beside her husband. She reached for Mei Mei and Prince handed her to Liphan. Prince walked slowly towards his father. His dad jumped up from his seat and wrapped his arms around Prince. Prince looked at his mom shocked.
“I’m sorry,” said Robert Rattan Chase. “I was so into that lying whore that I completely ignored your mother and you. I know I’m wrong. I’m so sorry son.”
Yatna was shocked that Robert had appeared at her office today after his break up with his long time mistress. They chatted in the office and Robert apologized for calling her a cheater when he had no real proof that she had cheated on him. Yatna told him to apologize to Prince, not to her. Yatna told Robert that she never was in love with him and that he had the right to be mad at her about that. She did love another man. But, she never slept with the other man while being with him.
Robert hugged his son even tighter, excited that he got to see his only son grow up to be a handsome young man.
Prince walked with his father to the courtyard outside and the two had a chat. Prince cried and released all his doubts, fear, anger at his father. Liphan watched from the window and Yatna calmed her down. She told Liphan that Prince is alright and he will manage to cope with his problems. She told her that at least he doesn’t run away from his problems like he used to. He faces them now.
Liphan walked out to the garden and sat looking out at the sunset. She still remembered the last time they visited and Prince had kissed her underneath the tree. It was a beautiful evening. Liphan rested her arm on the table and rested her head on top of her arm. Her heart still rushed thinking about how things will go with Prince’s father. Prince had told Liphan about many things that he has gone through and she never thought Prince would have to face his father like this. Prince had told her that there was no way his father would ever walk back into his life and she had waited two years with him and he never did. All of a sudden, he appears.
She knew the situation with her father was different than what Prince’s situation is and it hurts her that his father denied him as a son and suddenly appears to ask for forgiveness. Prince has told her he is willing to forgive, but he doesn’t know if he can ever mend the relationship.
Liphan felt cold hands grasp her shoulder. She shuddered from the coldness and the sudden touch. Her head shot up and she turned to look in the direction of the hand. It was Prince. His eyes glistened with tears and his nose bright pink. Liphan began to tear and stood up. Prince quickly grabbed hold of her in his arms and cried his heart out.
“I forgave him like I said I would,” said Prince. “He asked if I would change my last name to his and I told him I don’t know. I told him I am satisfied with Yodsaman.”
Liphan cried, “Me too, I’m satisfied with Yodsaman too.”
Prince didn’t want his dad to come into his life and suddenly run it when he has been out of it for a long time. His father merely treated him like he was jus there and nothing more. His mother couldn’t even give him his father’s last name because of the accusations. Now Prince felt like it isn’t fair for his dad to come in and tell him he wants him to change it because he suddenly accepts him as a son now.
“Take your time Prince. He is the man who gave you life,” said Liphan.
“I know. That’s why I can forgive him,” said Prince. “And I’m going to stay a Yodsaman.”

Sydney, Australia-
“We’re getting married!” squealed Mary as she got up in the morning.
She cannot be any happier because Knight had finally proposed to her. Her mom had told her that they will hold a wedding for her as soon as she graduates. Only another year to go. Both Knight and she have been going to school nonstop, taking summer courses to finish early and everything. It is all worth it in the end because she gets to marry him quicker.
Flashback
“Wow, you look lovely,” said Knight as he could not keep his eye of Mary at the banquet entrance.
Mary put on a long summer maxi dress with a beautiful lily in her hair. Knight grabbed onto Mary’s hand and led her into the banquet hall.
“Wow, the Wissinh’s go all out!” stated Mary. “It is lovely the way they make their guests feel this special.”
Music played throughout the evening and all the guests had a blast eating and playing games. A roulette table was set up in the corner and Knight urged Mary to go and play with him. Blank surprised the two by scaring Mary. She punched Blank in the stomach, but noticed the girl from the beach earlier. Mary spoke in Thai and asked Blank where she is from and how the heck he managed to catch her.
The foreigner all of sudden spoke in Thai, “Hi, my name is Katleeya Melnik. I actually grew up here in Thailand. And my family is from Moldova. Sorry to have made you guess I was a complete foreigner.”
Mary was embarrassed and apologized to Katleeya in English. Katleeya told her to call her Meow and that she prefers to speak in Thai. Knight whispered to Mary and told her that her face is pink and that it’s okay to feel this way because he feels this way all the time. Mary flicked his wrist and he squinted a bit from the sting. He grasped her hand and pulled her to the roulette table.
“I want to be on red!” shouted Knight.
Mary whispered to Knight and told her that he should pick black. They protested back and forth and Meow chipped in and told them that they should go for the black. The first roll was a loss. Knight grumbled to Mary for being bad luck. She felt ticked off at him, but he made that face that made her forgive him.
They still had 100,000 baht left. Knight said, “All in on black.”
Mary gasped at the bet. She didn’t want him to go that much in. That will be a lot of hard earned money. The wheel spun and the ball started to slow down on the black. The wheel stopped and it landed on red. Mary teared up thinking about Knight’s decision to go all in. But he kept a smile on his face as if he didn’t lose much.
The dealer turned towards her and the woman dealer started to peel off some skin. Mary started to get grossed out, but then she recognized the dealer.
“Mom?” asked Mary.
The dealer smiled and said, “Mary dear”
Mary’s jaw dropped. “I accept your proposal to my daughter,” said Mary’s mother.
“And I do too,” said a man who walked out from behind the curtain.
“Dad!” shouted Mary.
Mary’s dad began to explain, “Knight had called us and told us that you two got back together. He told us that he wanted to marry you and that it’s best if he proposed to you before you decide to break up or get too busy for each other again. So, he came up with this idea to propose to you. Do accept his offer of the 1,000,000 baht he just gambled total on you today? We certainly already did.”
“No,” said Mary quickly.
Knight’s face turned pale white. Mary turned to Knight. “No, I don’t accept the money! Why is love about money?”
Color began to rush to Knight’s face again. “I want to say that I love you. And all that money shouldn’t be a concern in our marriage.”
Knight dropped on his knees and Blank handed him the ring. The music had been signaled to stop by Liphan. Everyone eyes Knight and Mary. Mary blushed bright red as Knight began to tell her how beautiful she looked.
“It seems like only yesterday that this beauty walked into my classroom. Well, the classroom that I rarely attended, but that day I was lucky to be sitting there and seeing you the first day you arrived. You made me into a better man. You made me want something and made me work for it. I have you to thank for that. You made me into a man that cannot live without you. Mary, you’re my everything. Will you marry me?” asked Knight.
“Knight, you’re my knight and shining armor. Of course I’ll marry you!” shouted Mary in excitement.
Everyone cheered and toasted the newly engaged couple.
Liphan smiled seeing such a wonderful proposal. Prince walked up to her and grabbed her hand. He whispered, “I’m sorry I couldn’t do that for you.”
Liphan kept smiling and turned to whisper back, “I don’t care about that because I love my proposal too. It was unique and not many women can say they had a proposal like I did.”
Knight picked Mary up and twirled her around in joyfulness.
End Flashback
Mary grabbed her things and ran to get ready for school. Knight will be stopping by to walk her.
A knock came at the door, so Mary rushed to open it.
“Thomas,” said Mary.
“Mary, I’m sorry. I told Nappa a big lie and now she is flipping out. She threatened that she will kill you so I came down to see if you are still okay. She left last night and called me this morning,” said Thomas.
“So you two were the ruckus that everyone screamed down the hall about,” said Mary.
Suddenly Thomas yelped and grabbed onto his shoulder. Mary stood looking at his hand as he raised it off of his shoulder. His hands were blood stained . His eyes grew wide and he turned in the direction that the bullet had come from.
“Nappa!” whispered Thomas.
Mary couldn’t believe someone got shot right in front of her. She pulled Thomas into her apartment and closed the door and locked it as quickly as possible. Mary pushed Thomas away from the door and rushed to get her cell phone. Mary dialed Knight’s number and started panicking into the phone. Gun holes were being shot one by one through the door. Thomas slouched down in front of the balcony window. Knight informed Mary that he was downstairs and that he is on his way up. Mary begged him not to because Nappa is out there opening fire at her door. Knight called out and security officers tried to stop him from going up to the dangerous floor. But, Knight couldn’t have it. He had to be there. He quickly ran up the staircase. And saw the security officers trying to calm Nappa down. Knight walked closer to Nappa and she suddenly turned her head towards him. Knight began to sweat as Nappa began to point her gun at him.
“You used me! Now you’re with her! The whore who slept with my boyfriend. Why does she always take everyone away from me? He told me he couldn’t accept my baby because he is having a baby with her! That bitch!” screamed Nappa.
Mary heard everything through the door. Her heart raced even more because Thomas had told a big lie. She also worried about Knight out in the hallway. She couldn’t have Nappa in that close range to Knight. Nappa shouldn’t be shooting at her man. She’d rather get shot than let him get hurt. Mary rushed to the door and clicked it open.
Napa turned to Mary. “So, you finally open the doorway you imbecile. You steal everything away from me.”
Napa turned the gun to Mary again and both Knight and the security guards knew they had their chance to run and stop Napa. They all rushed towards Napa and she began to panic knowing they are all coming at her. Mary closed her eyes as the gun pointed directly at her heart. Napa pulled the trigger….

She had used up all the pellets. Napa dropped her gun and Knight ran to Mary and caught her just as she was about to hit the ground in shock that she had survived being killed. The security guards grabbed onto Napa and pulled her out as she screamed down the hall. Police officers waited for her at the first floor and arrested her for attempted manslaughter. Mary hugged Knight and held on tightly to him. He did the same.
The ambulance came and got Thomas on a stretcher. As he was being carried by, he reached out to grasp Mary’s arm and thanked her for saving his life. Knight pulled Thomas’ hands off and told him that he thanked Thomas for being a jerk and thanked him for saving his fiancé’s life by being shot first at the doorway.
“Thank you for not doubting me one bit about the whole being pregnant with his baby,” said Mary.
Knight held onto his bride-to-be and the two decided to take the day off of school to calm down what they had just been through.
“Nothing can stop us from loving each other,” said Knight.
“Nothing,” said Mary. “Nothing can stop our wedding!” she added wittily.

Phang Nga-
Prince put on shorts and a yellow t-shirt ready for his morning jog. It’s been a while since he got to run again. Liphan has been getting up early to make him and Mei Mei breakfast every morning before she heads to the bay for work. Life has been very fulfilling and lustrous since they got back from Bangkok.
After his morning jog, Prince sat down at the kitchen table and ate the porridge that Liphan made for him. Mei Mei left with the maid to the other house because Prince had to do some work at home and Liphan will be at the bay all day getting orders ready to ship. Prince went to the sink to wash his dishes, when he heard the sound of music coming from upstairs. That surprised him because nobody should be home right now.
He walked out into the living room and noticed that the music is coming from his bedroom. Prince climbed the stairs quickly and opened the bedroom door abruptly. Inside, Liphan sat on the bed facing the door wearing a red laced lingerie. Her hands rested on their satin bedspread as she looked at Prince luring him towards her.
“What’s all this?” asked Prince as he stepped in the room and closed the door behind him.
“Shh,” said Liphan and she motioned for Prince to come closer.
“It’s your birthday, you forgot already?” asked Liphan.
Prince had forgotten it was his birthday because so much had happened recently.
“You know why I was mad at you after the first birthday you attended of mine?” asked Liphan. “I didn’t want to talk to you for a few days after because I received another present from you when I got to my room. You know what it was? It was a sex book!”
“What? I didn’t get that for you!” remarked Prince.
“I figured you didn’t choose any of my gifts because I kept all of your gifts anyways and I wore one of the gifts you gave me. That hairpin, but you didn’t even compliment me on it once. That’s why I knew you didn’t pick it out. Anyways, I want to use what I learned from that book,” smiled Liphan.
Prince leaned down towards Liphan’s lips and kissed them tenderly. “Hmm, red wine flavored lip gloss.”

Phang Nga – Sail boat-
Liphan laid on the blanket that Prince had set down for her. He repacked the lunch basket and sat down next to her on the blanket.
“It’s been so long since I did something like this,” said Liphan.
“You took another man out sailing before?” asked Prince.
“Of course I did,” said Liphan. “My dad Siwah! He taught me how to sail with our assistant.”
Prince chuckled and laid his hand on top of Liphan’s shoulder and leaned down to kiss her on the cheek. Liphan wrapped her arms around Prince’s neck and he smiled at her as he leaned in to give her kisses on the lips.
Prince pulled himself off and laid down next to Liphan. She cuddled in his arms as the fish splashed around them. The breeze flicked her hair into Prince’s eye and his reflex closed then. Liphan chuckled seeing him squint. She reached for her hair and pulled it off his face.
“Prince, I have something to tell you,” said Liphan as she rested her head back on his chest.
“I love you?” asked Prince teasingly.
“No, silly man,” said Liphan. “We’re having a baby.”
Prince opened his eyes wider, but the sun rays blinded his eyes. He quickly turned to face Liphan and ask if she meant that a baby is growing inside of her.
Liphan nodded a yes and Prince smiled widely and pecked Liphan’s forehead, then her cheeks. And finally her lips. Tears rolled down his eyes in excitement. He will be a father to a second child!
“I love you,” said Liphan.
“I love you,” said Prince.
He held Liphan tighter and they both soon closed their eyes and fell asleep under the brightly lit sky and the cool breeze of the sea.
