Was it just her fantasy? What happens when you find love and lose it? Will the heart remember?
Chapter 1 The Party Invite
Tia was sitting on her desk. She just published a new short story online. She has a few loyal fans who always look up to her stories. She also earns a little bit of money out of it. She closed her laptop and took one last look around the room. Today was her last day in the dorm. She just graduated from Qing University.
Tia went out of the dorm with her suitcase and found her bandmates already waiting for her. The band has been around for 3 years and is quite popular in the university scenes. Tia is the second vocalist, Marcus is the lead vocals and guitars, there's also Jason on guitars, Wright on drums, and Sam on bass. Tia and Marcus met at freshmen night and instantly became friends. They had a shared interest in music. Sam was Tia's dorm mate while Jason and Wright were Marcus' classmates.
Tia worked part-time at a pub called, The Whiner. The rest of the guys would also hang out there especially during her shifts. One night a band that was supposed to play did not show up. Since the pub owner has heard Tia sing, she offered her another opportunity. She didn't want to do it on her own and decided to tell Marcus about it. They tried to play one night at the pub and realized how much they loved it. They then decided to officially become a band.
Outside her dorm.
Jason helped Tia load her suitcase into Marcus' Jeep. When everyone was already inside, Marcus announced, "We got an urgent gig request for a private party on an island."
"We never do private parties." Sam was confused looking at everyone. They always performed at music festivals, university nights, and at the pubs near the uni belt.
"The sponsor offered a huge fee. I thought we could give it a try." Marcus explained. Everyone knew that Tia needed money right now as her brother is currently sick. She has worked multiple part-time jobs while they were still in the university to save money for the surgery.
"Urgent? When and where is this?" Wright asked.
"It's on Hainan Private Island. I've got ferry tickets for 2 PM later." Marcus answered. It was just about lunchtime.
"Isn't that a high-class resort?" Sam was shocked.
"Must be some upper-class party." Jason smiled playfully at Wright.
"It's overnight accommodation. All fees paid by the sponsor so we get the talent fee clean." Marcus assured everyone.
"Well, there's always a first." Tia sighed. She was also not sure about it but if there's an opportunity she doesn't want to miss it.
They grabbed lunch at the Burger Joint across the university before heading out to the port. Tia dreaded this trip because she easily gets seasick but she needed the money so she had to endure it.
Tia made a quick call to her aunt informing her that instead of arriving today she will need to be out of town for a gig. Her parents had died in an accident so she was left to take care of her brother. Good thing her parents had insurance money for her studies that is why she worked hard to graduate so she can fulfill her parents' wish and at the same time take care of her brother.
At the airport.
Kyle's plane has just landed. It has been 5 years since he left this city. He stayed in London to study Business at Oxford University and at the same time manage the family business there. He left this city with a heavy heart and if not for his family, he wouldn't want to come back here.
Upon walking out of the Arrival gate, people couldn't stop looking at this very attractive man. He was very tall and had a well-toned body. He had chiseled jaws and deep-set eyes but his face looked so cold that people would be scared looking at his eyes.
Zane, Moore, and Brandon are Kyle's closest friends. They have known each other since they were kids. They have always tried to persuade him to come back so when they heard that he was coming. They had to be there.
"Welcome back, brother!" Zane greeted Kyle. They are blood cousins but they are like brothers since they were about the same age. They grew up together and were only apart when Kyle had to go abroad.
"Come on. Let's go!" Moore dragged his arm heading back to another runway.
"Where are we going?" Kyle looked at him coldly.
"It's Moore's idea." Brandon patted Kyle's shoulder with an apologetic smile.
"Don't worry. I already called your parents and they know." Zane quickly assured Kyle.
"I'm tired from a long flight." Kyle sighed but he still followed them to Moore's private plane. He thought it must be one of his private parties.
It was just a short flight. Moore Gu is the heir to the Gu Hotels and Resorts, this island was one of their high luxury resorts. They checked into their rooms and Kyle decided to rest for a bit. He also made a quick phone call to his parents to inform them about his whereabouts.
