(Scott's POV) I stared at Allison, waiting for her to say something, but she remained quiet, just staring back at me with eyes filled with guilt. "When you said you spent the night at Elena's house because she was having issues with her husband... was that a lie? Did you spend the night in his hotel suite—and kiss him?" I asked again, hoping she’d say something—anything at all. "Yes, she did, Scott," Stefan answered on her behalf. "She lied to you. Gosh, her lips were so soft when I kissed her. Tasted like vanilla," he added, clearly trying to provoke me. I fell for it and punched him in the face. Anger and jealousy surged through me knowing he had kissed Allison—my woman. When she said she’d been celibate after we broke up, I felt honored. It meant I was still the only man who had been privileged to kiss her, touch her, and do whatever I wanted with her body. But now, I’d just found out Stefan had kissed her. Stefan laughed, wiping the blood from his lips. "You're so piss
(Writer's POV) Bonnie smiled sweetly as she designed the cake she had just baked with lots of love petals. She was planning on giving it to Peter because it was his birthday today. "I'm sure he's going to love it," she blushed. "What are you doing, Bonnie?" her mom asked when she entered the kitchen with her dad. Her parents came over to spend the weekend with her. "I'm baking a cake for Peter. It's his birthday today," she smiled. "Who's Peter?" her dad asked. "Peter is her boyfriend. The man she has refused to introduce to us," her mom answered on her behalf. "Mom, it's not like I don't want to introduce him to you. He's been busy and that's why I'm yet to introduce him to both of you," as always, she defended Peter. "No man is too busy for the woman he loves. If he really loves you, he would make time to be with you and get to know your family," her dad said. "Peter isn't like other men. Besides, he doesn't need to be with me every day before I can be convinced he loves me
(Writer's POV) "Do you want to eat lunch with us?" a group of female interns asked Alex, who had buried his head in his work. Alex lifted his head from his computer and smiled at them. "No, I can't. I have to finish my assignment." "We all have assignments to do, but that doesn't mean we can't go out to eat, right? Come on, Alex, join us, it's going to be my treat," one of them said while the rest nodded their heads, smiling at him. Alex is the most handsome one among the male interns, so every female interns wanted to bond with him. "I'm really sorry, but I can't. Maybe next time." "That's what you always say. Why can't you hang out with us? Do you have a girlfriend who is so toxic?" another asked. "I don't have a girlfriend," he muttered. "More reason you should hang out with us. You never know, you might like one of us," another said and the rest giggled. Alex looked at them and sighed. He knew it would be impossible for him to love another girl who isn't Bonnie.
(Allison's POV) I blushed hard as Scott slipped his hands around my waist. "Aren’t you becoming obsessed with me?" I simpered. "Yes. I’m madly obsessed with you," he whispered, kissing my cheeks, and I blushed even harder. "I’m going to try my best to make up for the times I wasn’t there for you," he whispered again, and I chuckled. "Aren’t you going to work?" I asked, even though I wanted him to stay at home with me. I didn’t have much to do at my clothing line, so I decided to take a day off from work. We had the house all to ourselves because Liam and Clara visited Aunt Hilda. "Work can wait. You’re more important than anything in the world." "Stop being cheesy." "Do you love it or hate it?" he murmured. I licked my lower lip with a smile. "I love it," I answered, and he kissed my cheek again with his hands hovering around me. "I want to eat you up right now… I just can’t get enough of you," he said as he turned me to face him. I blushed like a teenager in love. He pecke
(Allison's POV) Bonnie held her cheek as she looked at me in surprise. She hadn’t expected me to slap her—neither did I. But she had gone too far, and I needed to make her think straight because it was so obvious she had lost it. She even dared to sleep with my brother! “Did you just slap me?” she questioned. “Yes,” I answered firmly. “I slapped you, Bonnie, and I will do it over and over again if you don’t watch your tongue. I came here so I could talk to you, but it’s obvious you’ve gone mad. You should see a psychiatrist because that’s what you need!” I snapped at her and turned to leave, but Bonnie held my hand. “Allison,” her voice choked with tears. I turned to look at her, and she was already shedding tears. “You were right about Peter. He doesn’t love me like he claims he does. He’s gay, and he was just using me to hide the fact that he’s gay. I was just so heartbroken when I found out the truth from him, and I didn’t know how to face you because you’ve been right all a
(Scott's POV) "I furrowed my eyebrows as Peter handed his resignation letter to me, his head bowed in what I couldn't read—maybe guilt or shame, I couldn't tell." "Why are you handing your resignation letter to me?" I asked. "I'm sure you must've heard what I did to Bonnie. She's Allison's friend, and you really care about those who are important to her," he muttered. "So you made a decision on your own, by wanting to resign? You think that's what I would want from you?" I inquired. He looked at me, but he didn't say a word. "I asked you before if you sincerely loved Bonnie, and you told me you love her, only for me to find out you were using her to cover up your real relationship. If you had a sister, and she was treated the way you made a fool out of Bonnie, would you have found it funny?" I asked, and Peter shook his head. "I'm angry about what you did, but that doesn't mean I'm going to have you fired. Being gay isn't such a big deal—you're the one seeing it that way
(Writer's POV) Bonnie lay on the bed with sadness written all over her face. She was still not over her breakup with Peter. It hurt because he was the first man she had ever opened her heart to love. Her relationships with other men over the years were mainly for fun and not because she wanted something serious. "I guess this is how my exes felt whenever I broke their hearts. This is karma slapping you in the face, Bonnie" she murmured to herself, wiping the tears from her eyes. The door creaked open, and knowing it's her mom, Bonnie pretended to be asleep. Right now, she didn't want another epistle from her mom. Her parents had already found out that the man she was dating was gay. Her dad was considerate about how she felt, but her mom only gave her an earful about not choosing the right man. "Bonnie," she called out, but Bonnie pretended to be sleeping while faking a yawn. "Don't trick me, Bonnie, because it's pretty obvious you're not sleeping," her mom said. Bonnie
(Writer's POV) "Alex!!!!" Clara screamed his name loudly, holding a megaphone, standing outside his house. He had gone back to his apartment but was still grieving over what Bonnie had said to him. He had even taken a few days off from work. "Alex!!!" she called again, her right hand holding the megaphone and her left hand placed on her waist like the troublemaker she is. "Come out of your house, Alex!!!" she shouted again. The other residents were all staring at her from their windows, but Clara isn't the shy type, so she cared less about their unending stares. "Alex!!!!" Alex finally came out of the house, giving her a scornful look. "What the heck is your problem?" he demanded, because indeed Clara had a problem. Who in their right mind comes to someone's house to scream their name through a megaphone? That person had to be Clara—she acts crazy when she wants to and sweet when she feels like it, and right now, she's totally in her crazy mood. Clara approached him with a

(Allison's POV) My aunt and my brother were beyond shocked when I told them how Stefan had lied about being crippled. Aunt Hilda and I had visited Alex in his condo, and I decided to tell them about it, but I left out the part where he tried to rape me. They wouldn't take it lightly, especially Alex. I didn't want more drama, which was why I deleted that part from our conversation. "I still can't believe Stefan could lie about being crippled. I thought he was a decent man," Aunt Hilda said, clicking her tongue. I also thought the same way, but now I understood who he truly is, behind the facade he was putting on. "I'm sure he did that just to get your attention, sis. Have you talked to him?" Alex asked. He wouldn't have asked such a question if I had told him Stefan tried to rape me. He would have been on his way to confront Stefan right now. I smiled and shook my head. Ever since the day he tried to rape me, I blocked his number. Scott had insisted we file a case agains
