~The Author's Story~
…Chapter 4…
The vacation on Hawaii was quite fun but we stayed there for four weeks. Sting and I were back from Japan. I sighed. Four more weeks and I will be back traveling- leaving my Stingy in Japan…
We entered our house. Tiredness was painted in our faces not even Sting said one word since the flight. I sighed while I plopped my way to the bed. I stared at the ceiling sleepily while Sting take off his shirt and lie down next to me.
"Did you enjoy our vacation, Lucy?" Sting asked looking at the ceiling.
"M-hmm…" I hummed closing my eyes.
"I'm so tired…" Sting complained.
"So am I… But it's worth it… We had fun though…" I said smiling while closing my eyes.
"Hell, yeah…" Sting agreed smirking.
"One more month then I will go to Rome, Sting…" I whispered still closing my eyes.
"Yeah, I'll be back to my fuckin' business too…"
"Don't worry, I'll be back after two weeks…"
"Yeah, two fuckin' weeks without you…"
"I will make sure I'll be back home early…"
"Oh, and yeah I forgot to tell you- I want you to have this." Sting said getting off the bed.
He opened his suitcase and took a small white box.
"I saw it on the market back at Hawaii…" he said while opening the white box revealing a silver broken heart pendant with a black string.
"I wore the other piece so wear the other one."
"Thank you, Stingy…" I whispered to his ear while jumping on top of him.
I noticed he was wearing a similar pendant but it was the right part of my one.
I get off my husband and wore the cute pendant he gave me.
I checked it out on the mirror while Sting was lying on the bed.
"I love it…" I whispered plopping back to our bed. I gave him a kiss in the neck and went back to my position just now.
"And talking about souvenirs- Did you bought Bro the souvenir he asked before we went to Hawaii?" Sting asked me.
My eyes shot wide open.
"I was about to ask you the same thing!" I shouted at Sting.
We were both dumbfounded and wide eyes in shock. Sweats of perspiration started sliding through the sides of our head.
"What are we gonna do?" Sting said with a panicked look on his face.
"Don't… tell him?"
We chuckled at my little joke.
After a month just doing nothing but cuddling with Sting on the bed made me feel lazy but happy I get to spend my holiday with my husband. And I am gonna make sure I will buy my Stingy a gift if I went to Rome.
I give Sting my one last passionate kiss after I kissed him for like ninety-nine times before I went on board into the private plane, which dad hired every time I go travelling for my articles or meeting another author.
"Bye, my Stingy… I love you…" I whispered in his ear and gave him a kiss on the lips once more.
"Bye, my Lucy… I love you too…" he whispered back returning my kiss.
I walked to the private plane dragging my suitcase behind me. I waved to Sting fully while he waved back in return. I went on walking and reached the spot where the plane is set. The guards opened the door for me and smiled.
"Welcome aboard, Lucy-san." They all said in unison.
"Yeah, thanks."
I entered my room inside the private jet which is filled with my own books that I published in the bookshelves and papers where sticked to the wall neatly. My own laptop and typewriter sat on two tables with my rolling chair. My room is just as clean as I left it before I went to Africa.
It had just been a minute when I received a message from Sting.
'I miss you Blondie…'
I rolled my eyes.
'I miss you too. Make sure to eat three times a day and don't stay up late and make sure you had enough food on the refrigerator and shop once a week. Do not drink any liquors just because you are stressed and don't even think of going in the pub. I'll kill u if u do… I love u…' I replied back with a huge smile while tapping on the screen fastly.
'Yes ma'am… I love you too… Take care, okay?'
'Okay, you take care too.'
And by that I off my phone and sighed. It's gonna be a long day without my Stingy Bee again…
I change into my favorite PJ and bunny slippers which usually I kept in my closet during travelling…
I decided to open my laptop and plopped to my bed as I put on my glasses. I opened my laptop and continued the part where I had left it back at Hawaii.
After what seemed like hours, I decided to check on my fridge for break. (A/N: I always do this if I ran out of things to say or when I'm hungry…) I took out my strawberry ice cream out of my fridge.
I sat on my bed comfortably eating my ice cream while reading one of my books… I checked my Facebook status to see my notifications… I don't know, but I only check my status if I go traveling.

My eyes went wide when I saw my notifications is all about Sting liking this and that. What a stalker…
I decided to reply all his nagging and sighed. I closed my laptop to see that I don't have any more ice cream. I placed my laptop in my desk and put the ice cream container on the sink.
My husband is such a stalker… But I still love him…
Suddenly my phone went ringing. I hurried to my bed while I pick up my phone and answer it excitedly. But the dialer's number seemed to be unfamiliar.
"Hello?" I asked the caller.
"Is this Mrs. Eucliffe?" the caller asked me. Now I'm getting pretty nervous.
"Um- yes…" I answered nervously gripping my phone.
"I'm afraid I have a bad news for you…" the caller said.
Bad news? My heart suddenly started beating fastly and my palms just got sweaty.
"Wh-what is it?" I asked almost in a whisper.
"Mr. Eucliffe had an accident. A lorry bump into him and his body had not been found." The caller said sadly.
I stood there with wide eyes in shock. My knees started to feel weak while I collapsed on the carpeted floor. I didn't answer the caller as if there was a huge lump stuck in my throat. Tears started pouring down my cheeks while I ended the call. I sobbed hurtfully as if there were needles poking my heart. My heart- It just broke into millions of pieces.
Sting- his body was not found…
I quickly dialed Mams's number with my hands trembling with shock.
Tears were pouring down my cheeks while the phone ring in my ear.
"Lu-cy dear…" Mom sobbed on the phone.
"Mams, i-is it true?" I said trembling while sobbing.
Mams just sobbed on the phone while tears continued to pour down my cheeks.
Why? Why must this happen?
I need to go back. I need to-
I ended the call while I ran to the pilot's room with tears pouring down my cheeks as I ran fastly. I reached the pilot's room fastly while tears continued falling down my cheeks.
"Lucy-san is something wrong?" Macau, my private pilot asked me worriedly.
"We need to go back! Something urgent has happen!"
"We can't do that Lucy-san we are already in Turkey…" Macau said worriedly.
"If you don't bring me back then I'll go back myself!" I threatened Macau.
Macau scratched his head and nodded.
He turned the plane's wheel while I head back to my room sobbing.
"Lucy-san are you alright?" Mirajane, my personal flight attendant asked me.
"My hu-husband h-he had a c-car a-accident." I said sobbing collapsing into the floor.
Mirajane wrapped her arms around me while I sobbed into her chest.
"There, there… Don't cry… I'm sure he will recover…"
"They d-didn't f-found his b-body…" I said and sobbed painfully into her chest once more.
This is not possible… My husband is not dead.
Time skip:
~Japan~
I rode in a taxi while leaving my suitcase into my plane. Dried tears surrounded my face while I was still in short sobs.
I reached Mams and Pop's mansion. There were sounds of crying once I entered the house.
Mams was sobbing while sitting down. Pops was covering his face with his palms and Jenny, Sting's big sister was comforting mom while she was crying.
I gasped when I saw a white coffin with white flowers the family noticed me standing there with tears started falling down my cheeks they stopped what they're doing.
"Lucy, dear…" Mams said in a whisper.
I walked to the coffin to see that there was nobody there.
"They said he had vanished during the accident…" Jenny said wiping her tears with her hand.
I dropped into my knees and started sobbing endlessly while I felt arms wrapping around my shoulders.
"Sshh…" Jenny said patting my back.
"It hurts so much, Jenny. It hurts so much that I could barely breathe…" I said sobbing while tears started to fall down my cheeks again.
"We know how that feels, Lucy… Don't be sad… Maybe there is still a chance that he might be alive…" Jenny whispered.
I inhaled deeply.
"Why? Why does this have to happen?" I asked still sobbing.
"Don't worry, dear. We'll find him- we're sure of it…" Pops chimed in sadly.
Before I even know it, I was fainting next to the empty coffin.
