AUGUST I decided not to say anything to her for now and give her time to process this new information.After a twenty-minute drive, we pulled up at the driveway of the house.I opened the door for her, helping her out and giving my keys to a guard.“Bring the box in the backseat in,” I instructed another guard and he nodded.“Can you take me to my room?” Drea finally spoke for the first time since we left her stepmother's house.“Of course.” With that, we slowly walked down the hall and into her room, where I helped her get settled into the bed.I dragged a nearby stool towards the bed and Yoon a seat in front of her, taking her hands in mine.“Are you okay? Do you need anything?” I asked, staring at her.Her eyes remained on our hands.“Do you think Dad was right?” She asked.My brows furrowed.“About what?”“About her leaving?”I took a deep breath in, before exhaling.“I think… your father believed every word he wrote.”She looked up at me, her eyes welling up again.“Why would sh

AUGUSTWhere is she?I was dying over here.Before Ivanka could continue talking about her gambling methods, I interrupted her.“I should probably go check on Drea.” I forced a smile, standing up.“Off you go then.” She smiled, taking a sip of her wine and winking at me.Huh?I walked down the hall to the bathroom and placed several knocks on the door.No response.I slowly pushed the door open and looked inside the restroom.She was not here.My heart began to beat faster against my chest.Where was she?I checked the nearby rooms and was about to shut the door when I heard a sob from inside the room.I paused, pushing the door open and walking inside.I saw a door on the other side of the room and walked towards it before pushing it open.My eyes landed on Drea who sat on the floor, her body shaky with sobs.My eyes widened.“Drea!” I exclaimed, bending down and taking a seat next to her and cupping her face in my hands.She had tears streaming down her face.My heart tightened.“Wh

DREA“What? Why?” He asked, his voice sharp.“Just do it.” I hushed, just as Ivanka walked back into the room with a tray of snacks in her hands.“Here you go.” She smiled, looking at August.“I’m going to the bathroom.” I declared, getting up.August looked up at me with a frown on his face.“Should I help—”“No!” I quickly declined, looking between him and Ivanka.“Keep him company.” I flashed a fake smile at Ivanka.“Don’t worry.” She gleamed, looking at him.“Where is the bathroom?” I asked her.“Down the hall to your right.”I nodded, and with that, I began to limp down the hall.When I was sure I was out of their line of sight, I stopped in my tracks and began looking for Ivanka’s room.That was where most of the things were last time.I pushed open the door and took everything in.It was way more spacious than the room at the previous house with a huge queen-sized bed in the center and a small couch tucked into the corner of the room.The vanity was huge and was located next to

DREAI was so sick of this.I was so sick of staying at home and doing nothing.It had been two weeks.Two weeks since I got discharged from the hospital.I hadn’t left the house ever since.I had to take a special leave from school to recover because of my leg.I was still working on my new horizons project which of course…was impossible.All I did was sit around and wait all day.While the danger was still out there.I needed to find answers.And answers weren’t just going to find me while I was sitting down at home.But where do I start from?And how?I slowly stood up from my bed and limped my way towards August’s office.I placed three knocks on the door before twisting the handle and stepping in.His eyes lifted off the papers he was analyzing as he took off his reading glasses, looking up at me.He immediately stood up and reached my side, guiding me to a nearby chair.“I told you not to walk by yourself.” He warned, letting go of my arm and rounding his table before taking a s

AUGUSTWithin minutes, I saw his car pull up in the driveway through the glass building.Ian stepped out dressed in a matching blue set which was a pair of joggers and a hoodie.He rang the doorbell and I stopped Drea just as she stood up to go and get it.“Don’t even think about it,” I told her, and she stuck her tongue out playfully.I smiled, turning my attention back to my guest.I slowly made my way towards the front door and pulled it open.Ian stood there with an unreadable expression on his face.“Hi.” He muttered.I moved aside, gesturing that he come in.He nodded, stepping into the house and heading towards the kitchen where Drea sat.“Hi Ian.” She smiled, and I watched him bend down to hug her.“How are you feeling?” He asked her, pointing to her leg.“It’s torture!” She sighed, closing her eyes slightly.He laughed as a response, before the house fell quiet.“So….” Drea started, and I looked at her.“Talk to him.” She mouthed, her eyes wide.I cleared my throat, scratchin

AUGUSTI dished our dinner onto plates, just as Drea limped into the kitchen with a yawn.My eyes widened and I immediately went to her side to support her.“You are not supposed to be walking around like this!” I exclaimed, helping her sit on a stool in the kitchen.“I won’t die if I walk, you know.” She stated.I picked up her food from the countertop and placed it in front of her.She breathed in the scent with her eyes closed and a lazy smile on her face.“Smells amazing.” She said excitedly, clapping her hands together.A smile made its way to my face.So adorable.“Well, dig in,” I told her, placing a fork in her left hand and a knife in her right.I watched her cut into her steak before putting it in her mouth.“So good!” She moaned, taking another bite.I took a seat in front of her and started eating my dish.Could use a little bit more salt.“So,” Drea started, wiping the corners of her mouth with a napkin. “What happened with you and Ian?” She asked, placing her cutlery bac
