Chapter One (Page Three)

As silly, as this might sound, to some people, Hailey was far too much in the mist of things, to see things clearly. Plus, how would she accept the fact, the fairytale and Cinderella romance, which she believes so much, are just stories?

In relationship to the abusive nature of Sam, Hailey choose to believe that this is merely a “no pain, no gain” situation and choose to believe that, true happiness require sacrifice.

Chan actually liked Hailey, when they first met, but Hailey had been dating Sam, for about a month by then, so Chan moved onto other girls.

Chan noticed there was something a bit off about Sam, right from the beginning, but because he liked Hailey during that time, he believed his judgment might be compromised and therefore decided to keep his silence.

For some odd reason, nobody really understands, Chan became the person, Hailey started to turn to, whenever she has relationship problem with Sam. Despite the fact that Chan moved onto other girls, he originally, still treated Hailey like a friend and as a result, listened to her, wining emotional problem, in the beginning.

However, as time passed, Chan eventually started to lose patient with Hailey, especially considering the fact, Hailey would defend Sam at all cost, when Chan speak ill of him. Plus, Chan never trusted Hailey 100%, he always kept in mind, there might be a slim possibility, with a plot twist and Hailey might turn out to be the one that really have a problem.

Chan is not a mind reader, but his instinct tells him, Hailey is in denial and is lying to herself, but he did not know why and the only advise he could give Hailey is that nobody could help her, other than herself and she need to, admit she got a problem, whatever that is and talk to a psychologist about it. An advice, Hailey was not willing to take up.

Eventually, Chan lost patient with Hailey and no longer want anything to do with her and after Hailey and Sam dated for around one year, Chan cut Hailey off completely and if it wasn’t for Emma, Chan still wouldn’t want anything to do with Hailey.

Emma and Chan met in a bar. When they first met, Chan was looking for nothing more, then a booty call and he got one out of Emma, but one week later, his mother came to visit from Hong Kong and to try to get his mother to stop nagging him, to find a girl and settle down, on a constant basis, he called Emma up and asked her out. Chan only asked Emma out, because he wanted to get his mum, to stop nagging him.

Unlike most people, Chan and his brothers Tang and Wang and his sister Mulan, doesn’t see the important of finding a girl, getting married, starting a family and have kids, as far as they consider, they can live with or without it. So, they are not eager to find a soul mate, in fact, they don’t care whether they find one or not and that worried the hell out of their conservative mother.

Chan was originally planning to dump Emma, the second his mother return to Asia and if it wasn’t because his mother stayed for a three whole month, Chan would never find quality within Emma, which make he finally decided to give Emma a real shot, which is the fact Chan got everything to gain from this relationship and nothing to lose, that he actually enjoy spending time with Emma enough that been in a committed relationship with her, felt opposite to feeling suffocating and considering the fact Emma is knock out hot, making it pretty cool to show her off to his friends, so after two years of dating, one preen-up that Emma signed and that she is Ok for Chan to put their house under Chan’s mother’s name, so he won’t lost everything in a separation, Chan and Emma moved in together.

Then, two years ago, Sam and Hailey moved in together. Before Sam and Hailey moved in together, Sam would only hurt Hailey on emotional bases, but after half a year, they’ve been living together, Sam started hitting Hailey too and those attacks Sam conducted, are physical assault.

Chan started to become the person, Hailey turns to, whenever she is having problem with Sam. Chan still want nothing to do with Hailey, but consider the fact he hasn’t seen Hailey for almost nine years, he figures whatever problem that caused Hailey to trap herself in that relationship, is gone and decided to help her again, by letting her sleep on the couch.

But it turns out, Hailey still hasn’t change and once it became obvious to Chan, he started wanting nothing to do with Hailey again.

Coincidentally, Emma and Hailey went to high school together and now because of Sam and Chan, Emma and Hailey got back in contact and are now BFF.

Chan has already lost patient with Hailey again and if it isn’t because of Emma, he would already gone from only letting Hailey sleep on the couch, to only allow Hailey to sleep in the hallway outside his apartment, to stuffing her in a motel somewhere he can’t see and then finally close the door on Hailey forever, again.

“So, are you going to work today?” Emma said

“Yap” Hailey said

“Are you coming back here, afterwards?” Emma asked

“I’ll go home.” Hailey said

“Why am I not so surprise, it is always the same drill.” Chan said dryly. “I swear to god, if my kids ever ended up in a school you teach in, I am pulling them out of that school, right away.” Chan said

“So, you think, I won’t be a good mother?” Hailey asked

Chan frowned “Are you fucked kidding me? Look at you, you can’t even take care of yourself and you even got a horrible taste in man, A.K.A jackass guy. I swear to god. Why you don’t, just dump his, looser ass, already?” Chan said
