KAYLA POV

Slowly adjusting to the light intensity of twilight, I just laid down smiling for no reason. I came to realization that yesterday's night was just a pivotal moment of my life. My life was engulfed in sadness and painful regret as a result of my father's painful death.

I couldn't recall that I had this jovial personality within me. This continued until I had this dinner at Lucas yesterday. His manner of approach was unlikely other days. He just had like a father-daughter discuss

    KAYLA POV The penthouse was masterpiece adorned with glass and steel. It was a work of art that was associated with Lucas as he loved artwork. Remembering the mansion's heavy oak and stone materials is a relic for the betrayal I got from my father whom I thought was my hero. Leaving that place might be a move for my healing process but it won't be easy.I went inside the penthouse to be marveled by the floor-to-ceiling windows it points to the sky. For the first time in several months, I realized that there is still peace in the world. I guess that was freedom calling out to me. Being free from sneaky cameras and being constantly watched is a past era. "It's really quiet here", I whispered to myself. Lucas moved past me and kept his hands on the railing. "I've sent the security team to sweep this place for any hidden cameras or bugs but nothing has been found. They've cleared the area that it's safe". "Can I really start over here as my safe zone?" I asked him as I maintained eye

    KAYLA POV The silence which presides in the study was terrifying as it seems to rule over everyone and everything in that study. Before being here, I had to look for a place to clear my head. The study was a good choice but Lucas followed me. I sat before the bright light of his twin monitors and Lucas standing behind me. "I don't think you should do this", Lucas said as his hands was resting on the arm rest. "You know that Clara is Hunter's blood and she will make sure she poison the well and spoil the waters". "My mind can't settle as if it seems my belief was based on a lie. If it's true, then the drive will prove it", I said as I turned to face him. "This drive has raised my curiosity to the max and I can't stop it". Lucas did hesitate for a while but he gave the permission. I thought the screen will only to one video but it came out like a directory which comprise of files organized by dates and rooms. It includes file names like Master Suite, kitchen, dinning hall and their

    KAYLA POV The dining hall in Lucas' mansion seemed different from the way I did see it. Probably it's because I didn't pay detailed attention to it. The crystal chandelier gave a mesmerizing light over the long mahogany table where chairs were arranged accordingly in a orderly manner. This place houses the members of the board before in one of their meetings but this is for a special reason now. Today, I sat on a chair there as a guest which my mom and Lucas played the role of a hostess and host respectively. Before approaching the table, my mom already brought in everything we needed for this dinner. These two have a terrible history with me but I realize what change can do if it's given an opportunity to oversee. Even the betrayal from my mom hasn't died down completely, there's still space in my heart to accommodate her. There's a significant change I noticed in her. Her original motive with Lucas was being a premium gold digger who makes sure she and her world is satisfied. But

    KAYLA POVAfter my experience in Zack's room, I excused everyone to be alone for a while. With that, I went to the poolside which I sat down looking at the undisturbed waters. The aesthetics of the pool is still the same way I remembered it. It shows the amount of work the housekeepers put in order to keep everywhere in check. The water surface provided a portal for my illusion to set in. Memories of the time I spent with Zack displayed on the water surface. It felt so real that I nearly stood to get a hold of it. Walking steps behind me interrupted me as I turned to see the person. "Kayla, I really want us to talk about something important", Lucas said as he walked towards me. He sat beside me as we faced the swimming pool together. "I really want to back to the company to clear my name from those sneaky rumors spreading around", I said as I still focused my gaze on the pool. "That's why I'm here, Kayla". His eyes switched position as I sensed it. Eventually, our eyes met with ea

    KAYLA POV A brief uncomfortable silence was in our midst as we looked for who will break it. Eventually, the cold wind made its appearance breaking the silence on the surface. I was so tensed up because I fear about anything going wrong here. "Joe, thanks for protecting her", Lucas finally spoke as he looked at Joe who reciprocated. Joe didn't say anything at first but I decided not to say anything yet. "It's alright", he responded to Lucas and he turned to me. "Kayla, let's get back". From his tone, I knew he didn't welcome Lucas fully even if my heart still had a space to accommodate Lucas. Then, I realize that it's high time I stepped into the situation before it worsen. "Lucas, so where are you headed", I asked Lucas. "Wherever the wind takes me to but I'll like to return to my mansion", he said as his gaze was on me. Joe already deciphered what I want to bring up but he choose to stay calm. "Pls, I will like to sit and talk things together, Kayla". This plea was from Lucas

My plans was going back to the old bridge house as there's something unknown that is calling out to me. According to my instincts, I felt like going there alone but Joe hesitated for a while. But he has to accept since I was stubborn on going on this adventure. Since we were still in Switzerland, we returned to New York together as he offered to drive me to that house. "That place possesses different memories which you might not like, how would you cope?" Detective Joe said as we both entered his SUV to begin the journey. "Since I need complete and total recovery, I think facing it will strengthen me instead of the opposite", I responded while looking at the bustling street of New York. He nodded slightly as his attention was on the road. After some time, we entered the deserted street which lead to the old bridge house. He stopped at a distance to the bridge house whi
