ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV

 

This means that I can no longer go anywhere that I want to, considering that money is the first thing that I should have when I’m thinking of traveling to some place. 

 

I let my own feet wander around; I don't even know where I should first head off to. Mostly now that I don't have anyone to provide me with financial support. 

 

The sun was already burning my skin; it is currently afternoon, and there are even more people outside now compared to when I first arrived in this place. 

 

As I was letting my subconscious bring me anywhere, I bumped into someone. I almost stumbled to the ground, but the person was quick enough to grab me by my waist.

 

“Sorry. Are you alright?” he asked, and when I turned to look at him, I opened my mouth. “Y-you…”

 

“G-Greyson?!” I mentioned his name in shock before I fixed my posture and thanked him afterwards. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you still studying in another country?” I asked out of curiosity.

 

“Turns out I wanted to spend my time here rather than going somewhere else that I’m not even familiar with,” Greyson answered as he scratched the back of his neck.

 

It’s been such a long time since the last time that we’ve seen each other. We had been friends since the first year of our high school years; we even had mutual feelings with one another that didn’t further develop due to our personal reasons. 

 

My parents didn’t want me to have any men around, while Greyson wasn’t permitted by his father to have me as his girlfriend, not unless we both have something to feed each other with already. 

 

When we confessed about it later on, we just laughed it off. Luckily, our friendship didn’t end at that point.

 

“What brings you here anyway, Angelique?” he questioned me.

 

However, I suddenly felt a sting in my heart when I heard how he pronounced my name. It’s not like how he used to say it before when we were still studying together. 

 

I don’t know if this is just because we’ve been apart for too long or if maybe my guts are correct this time.

 

“Come again?” I asked him to repeat the same query.

 

“I said, why are you here, Angelique?” I continuously blinked as my foot started moving backwards, away from where Greyson was standing. “What’s the matter?” he inquired, but during that time, I noticed how a smirk escaped his lips.

 

“You can’t be...” I mumbled to myself as I tried to remember the person who was on the phone earlier. 

 

Even though he didn’t mention his name, the similarity was more than enough to prove that they were the same man. 

 

“G-Greyson Giovanni, you’re the one who filmed the entire scene that happened yesterday night?” I asked, hoping that he would somehow reject it and say that he has no idea about it.

 

But instead of hearing it, he didn’t refuse at all.

 

“What if I am? Do you recall now what it is that I’ll be wishing for?”

 

I immediately gulped when I remembered what kind of person he was. Despite the fact that I loved him at some point before, I knew that he was some sort of bullshit right from the start. 

 

I just didn’t give much attention to it since if I really were in love with him, I’d be more than willing to accept him as is.

 

In an attempt to run away from him, I glanced from side to side and checked for every possible spot where I could make my escape route. 

 

I moved in haste after a few seconds and moved in with the crowd, but he was undeniably quick to catch up to where I was. Maybe it was due to the fact that he’s a man while I’m just a woman.

 

“There’s no use in running away, Angelique. You know me well; if I blurt something out, you know that I won’t hesitate in doing whatever it is.” I heard him clearly, as if he were just beside me. 

 

When I gazed sideways, I saw him casually following me around, like it was no big deal for him to match my speed. Before I was even able to sprint to the corner, he took hold of my arm, which made me stop running. 

 

He was too powerful, and no matter how hard I tried to pull my arm away from his grip, it just wouldn’t budge. “You’re just hurting yourself, Angelique.”

 

“Where are you planning to take me?” I asked when he suddenly led the way to a spot where there was no one around.

 

Greyson decided to let go of my arm. “I’ll ask you seriously just once, Angelique. Your decision would greatly affect the exposure of your video, so think wisely before you open your mouth to speak,” he said with such a straight face. He had no expression, to be precise. 

 

I just nodded my head in accordance with what he wanted.

 

“Actually, I changed my mind. I’ll leave you with no choice but to come with me tonight. I’ll be waiting for you at my club; I’m sure that you still know its whereabouts, so I won’t be sending you the address anymore.” He winked at me before he turned his back around. 

 

But he didn’t move forward since he still had something left to say to me. 

 

“By the way, when you come tonight, make sure to bring your most outrageous dress.”

 

“E-eh?” I immediately reacted to what he said so that he would not go. “I was robbed just now.” 

 

I looked downward as I played with my own fingers. It’s kind of embarrassing to say something like that, as if I am asking for money.

 

Greyson faced me once again. “Nevermind, then. Just don’t forget to show up tonight. If I don’t see you before midnight, I’ll upload the video everywhere. You’re well aware of how fast people are when they’re spreading news like that,” he uttered before completely moving away and leaving me behind in the dark.

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVIt was night time when I arrived at the park that was supposed to be filled with a huge crowd, considering that it’s currently a weekend. I gulped as I could even hear my own rapid heartbeat because of how peaceful the surrounding was. I had to grip onto my bag to not lose my strength when the time calls for it.“Greyson? I’m here,” I yelled out his name as I tried to let my eyes wander. “Let’s go home, okay? It’s already been a week since you left the house. You still have a lot of cleaning to do, right? Stop hiding and just get your ass out of here,” I added, trying to sound brave despite knowing that I could pass out in fear any second now.The wind has gone colder and stronger as I felt it brushing upon my skin, sending shivers down my spine. I didn’t receive any response from Greyson, and minutes have already gone by.“Just give me any sign that you’re here, Greyson. I’ll leave if you don’t send me any signal,” I demanded, hoping that I wouldn’t see any sign

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POV“You’re still kidding around, aren’t you?” I asked with a short laughter, trying to make Greyson admit that he wasn’t serious with his reply. I tried to move away from above him, and compared to when he prevented me earlier, he simply let me go now. “Why aren’t you saying anything?” I clicked my tongue, annoyed by his silence.Greyson stood up from his bed and walked ahead of me, heading towards the exit of his room. However, I didn’t let him as I grabbed onto his wrist after I followed his tracks.“Don’t follow me around, Angelique. I’ve got some important business to do that I just remembered,” Greyson coldly demanded, forcing me to release my grip on him. “And to honestly answer your question just now, I don’t understand myself either. Most of the time, I’m yearning for your presence. But at the same time, I still long for someone else’s touch,” he murmured in between his tiny breaths.I stared blankly

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVSeveral minutes have already passed by. Greyson and I have been staring at each other without uttering any words. I doubt that he could think of anything that can get him out of this situation. He only has one choice—and that is to tell me the truth. If Greyson chooses to tell me a lie, then that would destroy all the trust he had built up after betraying me because of his other woman.“Angelique, let me explain…” Greyson sat beside me on the edge of his bed.I furrowed my eyebrows in frustration as I avoided having eye contact with him. “If you’re going to explain something, then get on straight to the point,” I coldly said. “I won’t believe you if you try to tell me that you merely got that poster from somewhere online or through some illegal shops,” I added.“I’m not that dumb to say that.” Greyson gave me the poster, showing it to me like it was not  the first time that I’ve seen it. “Do you really not

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVGreyson tried to pull me back from the three as we were outnumbered, but I kept my feet frozen to the ground, which caused him to tighten his grip on my wrist to force me to make eye contact with him. “Don’t tell me that you’re going to choose them and make a complete fool out of me, Greyson.” I gave him a ferocious gaze, so that he would be intimidated.I heard Greyson heaving out a loud sigh. “Are you seriously still doubting me after all these times?” he replied with a shake of his head.  “If Gwynneth says that she has strong evidence against you, what do you think you could still do against this situation? You mustn’t forget that you’re also just a human… and worse, you’re a woman,” he added.I bit my lower lip in irritation, seeing that there really was no choice other than to leave. I tugged the edge of Greyson’s shirt, pulling him away from the spot of the three. I doubt that Lian would be able to take my mother’

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVThe moonlight shone directly in the direction where Lian and my mother were standing. They were at the corner of a building in some sort of an alleyway where there was no one around other than themselves. As I was attempting to walk ahead and confront the two of them, I felt two hands holding both of my wrists—one was from Greyson, and the other was from Gwynneth. Both of them were preventing me from reaching their spot, as if it wasn’t what we came here for.“Why are you holding me back? My mother is literally standing a few meters away from us!” I uttered and despite wanting to scream my lungs out, I held myself back as it would definitely alert Lian. “Don’t tell me that you’ve already known that my mother was together with Lian? Is this how you’re going to betray me all over again, Greyson? Are you still not done with your games?” I consecutively questioned him out of frustration.Greyson released my wrist as he pulled me away from Gwynneth’s hold. “You’re ove

    ANGELIQUE SLOAN’S POVNo matter how many times I tried to convince Greyson to go straight home and just let me visit Gwynneth’s home by myself, he wouldn’t let me be. I couldn’t help myself but to wonder if he found an excuse to see her, or if he simply didn’t want me to come there by myself.“Your face is like an open book, Angelique. I know that you’re overthinking about the possibility that I merely wanted to see Gwynneth and that I’m using your mother as an excuse,” Greyson suddenly said, taking me aback as I stopped my tracks.My feet somehow felt cold, frozen to the ground as I stared at Greyson’s back, unable to believe that he might’ve read my mind. “H-how did you do that?” I scoffingly asked, filled with curiosity. “Anyhow, are we still far from her house?” I changed my query, trying not to get teased by him.Greyson shook his head once as he pointed his index finger in front of us. “Gwynneth’s house is the only one that stands out in this area,” he murmured as I glanced upon
