Alison Pov...I find myself keep on stopping in Downtown city for no reason. That place is really something to die for. Every time I walk there, I feel like I am always enlightened and refreshed. Whatever magic charm that place has, it doesn't matter to me as long as I am comfortable and happy. Jacks Coffee shop is one of my favorite now. I will stop by at his branch in California when I come home.Last night I brought Linda with me. I asked her to find if they still had a better place to lease or for sale. I feel at ease staying there and I'm sure Dwight will never step there now that we win the bid. I plan to bring my brother and Cali there tonight."What is beautiful today that you keep on smiling out of nowhere?' My brother asked, joining me."I just fell in love with Downtown City. We should visit tonight so you will see what I am talking about. Ali, I can't believe there is a place like that here in Los Angeles. I have lived here for two years but never been there. I exclaimed,
Devon Pov... Working with the Smith Group isn't easy these following years especially Dwight become rude and perfectionist. The board of directors is always asking what he actually wants to let them do. He even intimidated them to fire them if nothing met his standard. Luckily, the company is still working fine. Only his plan to get Downtown City failed. The job he offered them is already in the downtown. They want businesses that won't compete with each other. We just learned the city is a friendly zone, that's why! If we just learned that earlier, we could beat the Flavors of Asia had offered. I was in the Thompsun building checking all the new tenants. The Variety Cuisine will open tomorrow. That's why I want to make sure everything is followed before their launch tomorrow. I have already tasted their food and I definitely love it. I'm almost done inspecting when Dwight called. I immediately rushed to Downtown City after receiving Dwight's call, furious and intimidated. I arrived
Alison Pov... I just want to stay at home right now and curled up on my blanket, but I had work to do. I can't really run from any inevitable face off with him, especially now that he knows I am here and we are working on all the same buildings. We will eventually bump into each other most of the time. My brother watched me prepare myself lost and unwilling to do anything. He already prepared our early breakfast, even my coffee, but my mind still wants to go back to the bed. "Alison, stop whining and start preparing to go to work." He chastised. I slumped my body on the sofa, shaking my head. "I can't Alejandro. What if we bump into each each other again? I can really face him now, but I can't stand to be called a murderer." I cried, pitifully, shaking my head. "You can't run from him forever, Alison. Always expect the inevitable. That's the only thing I can be sure of, my dear sister. Remember I am just here waiting for your call." He explained, emphasizing every word. I went bac
Georgina Pov... I am not just pissed and annoyed seeing Alison again. I was terrified about seeing her. She will never have Dwight again. Dwight is mine now! When Jack arrived and treated as VIP, Dwight was pissed, dragging me out of the restaurant. "Dwight! Fuck! You are hurting me!" I cried, pulling my hands with his tight grip on my wrist. He threw my hands frustrated. I don't know if it was because of Jack being treated as a VIP or because of Alison. What if he likes Alison now? Alison is different now, she is bold, fierce and smart. "Dwight, don't tell me you will let her trample us like that? Do you really believe her?" I ranted, wanting him to punish Alison. "Just stop Georgina! Can't you not see we are the intruders! Why not check what is Variety Cuisine and Flavors of Asia, it will save us next time!" He growled, totally pissed off. Why is he dumping his frustrations on me? I am also pissed at her. "Why are you mad at me?" I cried. "Shut up Georgina. Today is not the ri
Thomas Pov... I can't believe people are still nasty when doing business. I can't let them slide on what they do in my business. I've been in different businesses since I learned how to read and write. My father raised us to be responsible and diligent. No one in his eyes pass our immature and irresponsibility. I also owned media used for advertising. Still grateful INC didn't corrupt the unwanted news that happened just a minute before closing time. I immediately booked a flight to reach LA. I am worried Alison would be in trouble because of this matter, but she surprised me again as I expected. She handles them very well. I know she can handle LA that's why I sent her here, but there is one thing I know she can't handle, her heart. She can say she moved on and forgot everything, but deep inside it wasn't. She has perfect reservations in her heart. If she moved on, she should have given me the chance, but 5 years she is still holding on. I didn't have time to run in Downtown City
Dwight Pov...Since that incident, I can't sleep and have always been disturbed. My anxiety is kicking me for the first time. What Alison told me disturbs me so much. Devon once defended Alison, which we ended up fighting, almost losing him as my friend and trustworthy partner. He once said, that what if what you heard that day was not true? How are you going to fix the mess? You can't easily mean broken trust! Then here comes Alsion, saying You might put me in jail right now, but I'll be out in just a second. I hope one day you will not regret this! What does she mean by that? How could she be out for just a second?I locked myself in my room and kept on thinking about those words over and over again. I know Jack has been fond of her ever since, so whatever they have isn't bothering me. Jack doesn't know anything about what happened but he never likes Georgina. He dislikes her the most. That was the reason she left Los Angeles!I love Georgina so much! When she broke up with me to fo
Alison Pov... I don't have plans to be reunited with Dwight, but I didn't expect an unpredictable, inevitable circumstances that would most likely will change my life forever. That accident 5 years ago wasn't my fault, but to learn she would never bear a child for the rest of her life was already a big punishment for her. I haven't given her my punishment yet but she got what she already deserved. I should have danced and celebrated her misfortune, but I wasn't raised by my parents to laugh at someone's misfortune. . I know my brother is already worried that I didn't come home last night. The fact that my car is still left at Thompsun building. I thought he was just scaring me, that's why I showed him I am not scared of him, but I was at the wrong pace again. I can't do anything when she handcuffs me. I stay quiet all the time, but when he cuff my hand on the bed. I am already terrified. I always anticipate his move wrong. When he totally undressed himself showing everything
I didn't have a good sleep, worried about my sister. I kept on pacing back and forth waiting for the door to open. He will never sleep over without telling me. He knows I am worried here! I didn't have any choice but to call Cali if she knew where Alison was, but she was surprised when I asked her. As per Cali, they both separated at the Thompsun building after their sumptuous dinner while visiting the shop. I even called Laude but he said they were not together as he had a meeting with someone else in Downtown City.I am frustrated waiting for her till dawn. I just slept for two hours. It is already six in the morning but I still can't see my sister. What the hell! I am scared something might happen to her while I am here. I can't forgive myself!"Alejandro!" Cali uttered upon opening the door, startling me."Cali, did Alison call you?" I asked, really worried."No! It's impossible for him not to call you or inform me of her whereabouts." Cali muttered, confused.I hissed, frustrated
