Drown The Sorrows 

Phoebe’s POV 

I was watching Snow, sleeping peacefully on her bed. She cried an hour ago, looking for her mommy but I couldn’t do anything. I want to do something but I promised Kelly. I trust her that she can resolve this on her own. I know her. She’s kind but she won’t like it if I Intervene even if I have a reason. 

“Don’t you think you should tell your brother about Miss Kelly?” 

I looked at Luke when I saw him sitting on the couch when I was about to leave. As much as I want to stay here, I can’t. My family will look for me. They might discover about Snow and I want Kelly to come back and personally tell us about Snow. 

“I promised Kelly and I trust that she could end this mess her way.” 

“Doesn’t matter if it takes her long before she comes back?” 

I looked him in the eyes. “You’re friends with my brother, right? Why won’t you tell him?” 

He looked away and sipped on his coffee. “I don’t have the rights. 

“Same goes for me,” I said and gripped my bag, glancing at the bedroom’s closed door. “Keep her safe. If she wakes up in the middle of the night and looks for me, just call me.” 

I didn’t wait for his response. I went out of the apartment and was shocked when I saw a man standing in front of Kelly’s apartment. Beside him was a woman who kept on asking me about Kelly and myself for the past few days. I think her name is Mary. 

“It’s you 

you again, kid. Where’s Elle? I haven’t seen her for three days.” 

I looked at the woman. I want to growl at her and tell her that I’m not a kid but the tall man, wearing eyeglasses, made my heart skip a beat. Why is a swimming champion standing in front of Kelly’s apartment? 

I know him. I know him very, very well. Caleb Walter, a man just three years older than my brother, was a swimming champion. He was never defeated when he was still in college and he’s my inspiration. The reason why I joined the swimming team. 

“Hey kid!” The woman snapped her fingers in front of my face. 

I sucked my breath and glared at her before I looked at Caleb Walter again. I cleared my throat. “H–How… How do you know Ke–Elle, Mr. Walter?” 

Good thing Luke gave me a heads up about Kelly’s situation although we both don’t have any idea why she changed her identity. And damn! Did I just stutter? 

His forehead creased. His deep black orbs were mesmerizing me. God! I didn’t know I’d see him in 

person, 

“How do you know me, should be the question, Miss.” 

My lips parted. Not only his face and appearance, even his voice is handsome. 

I cleared my throat and offered my hand. “I’m Phoebe. Elle is my sister.” 

“SISTER?” The loud woman asked, shocked. “Elle said she’s an only child.” 

I grimaced and rolled my eyes. I want to suppress my bitchy attitude but this woman got on my nerves, when I saw her standing next to Caleb Walter. 

Drawer The Surrowe 

A 

I was about to lash out at her when Caleb Walter touched my hand, accepting the handshake and I felt 

like I saw stars. Fck! 

“Caleb Walter. I am Elle’s boss. I came here because she’s been absent for three days and she’s out of 

reach.” 

I watched his hand let go of mine as I bit my bottom lip and blinked continuously. What should I do? What should I say? I don’t know anything about how Kelly introduced herself and background to these people. 

“She didn’t file a leave of absence, Miss Phoebe. As a boss, I worry for my promising employee. I want to know where she is and how she is. If she’s sick, and or any other valid reason, I would understand.” 

I looked him in the eye. Does he like Kelly? He’s her boss but I know that he’s a President of a well–known company. He can just send someone to check on Kelly, not visit her himself. 

I took a deep breath. “My sister….went to the province. Our relative was sick. She’s needed there.” 

***Kelly’s POV 

Klay has been drinking the whole day. Again, I don’t care. I continued ignoring him, walking past him like I couldn’t see him. Ignoring him whenever he’s talking to me like he’s a ghost. I want to punish him for doing this to me. Taking me away from my daughter and torturing me emotionally shouldn’t be included in his choice of coaxing me. I hate him even more for doing this. 

I walked downstairs. It’s already 1 AM but I still couldn’t sleep. I probably won’t be able to sleep soundly in this house regardless of the fascinating view of nature. 

I went straight to the kitchen and when I saw the bottle of rum, I decided to drink. Maybe I could sleep after drinking half of the rum. 

I grabbed the bottle and walked out of the kitchen. I went to the balcony, drinking straight from the bottle! when I noticed someone in the pool area. 

Klay, sitting on the pool corner, with his feet underwater. He was holding a bottle of rum too and was staring at the water. He’s punishing himself because don’t wanna forgive him. Does he think it would work on me? 

I turned my back and rested my back against the railing of the balcony. I drank straight from the bottle again as I heard the loud splashes of water.
