"Piper, I am sorry. I know that I do not have the right to ask you to forgive me. I am really sorry. All I want is for you to forgive me," Leo said.

Piper did not say a word. She didn't know what to do. Prue's death was a great impact to her. She was like a mother to her. How can she marry a man who caused her death?

"Leo, I am sorry. I loved you but that is not enough to cover my guilt towards my sister. I can't possibility accept you," Piper said coldly.

Leo gazed at her eyes and gave a last kiss before leaving.

Piper stood at the same spot, seeing Leo leave with a heavy heart.

Leo was hoping that there will be a future for both of them.

From the first day, he knew that they can't be together.

They were meant to be at the opposite side.

Love can't help anything because there will be revenge and hatred as a barrier.

May be it is better for them to go on with their separate lives.

It might be hard but it is better for the future.

A year after Prue's death, Phoebe and Cole remained together while Piper was lonely.

She had not dated since then. She often said that none of them match her. Deep down inside her heart, she loved Leo. It's not easy to missed someone and not being able to be with him.

Sometimes Piper hides and cries alone. She desperately wants Leo. She missed him so much. It is like her flesh was slashed again and again. It hurts.

Though she was on a dating hiatus, there were men out there waiting for her. It's not only Leo but Dan too.

Dan did express his feelings towards Piper but she rejected him. Dan rejected her once because of her background. She is a witch and Dan freaked out. Which man could accept that your future wife is a witch? He was shocked and afraid then but now he realized that he needs her. He loved her very much. Guilt and sorry was suppressed in him. He will not give up on her. He will wait for her.

Then there was another man who slowly felt in love with Piper. That man is Phoebe's husband, Cole. Cole seems to be lovely and caring husband but he has his hidden secret. He can't help falling in love with Piper. He loves Phoebe too but it is fading. Since Phoebe became a famous columnist, she neglected him. He felt lonely and Piper's spirit to go on without her loved ones such a Prue and Leo amazed him. He gradually felt attracted to her. He wanted to express his feelings to Piper but he knew she wouldn't accept him. Piper will not betray Phoebe and she still have feelings for Leo. She just didn't want to admit it. Sometimes Cole treats Piper with extra attention but Piper never realizes any difference. She treated him as a brother in law. Nothing else.

Only fates will decides who will be Piper's prince.

Cole just kept that feeling to himself. He couldn't be so selfish.

Then Dan came. He went to P3 to talk to Piper.

"Piper, I know that I had disappointed you. I am truly sorry but don't I get another chance? I really missed you since the day we broke up," Dan stood in front of her, begging for her forgiveness.

"You knew that I am not like you. I can't be a normal wife. And my love for you is gone," Piper responded.

"You missed Leo?" Dan asked.

"No, it's not him. I can't accept you because we are from two different worlds. It's not possible," Piper replied.

"Leo left you! If he still loves you, why hasn't he return? The fact is you need to go on with your life. One day you will need a family, a man that loves you. Accept me. Let me take care of you," Dan said.
