“I didn’t do it!”
“Please get into the car.”
“But I didn’t do it!!! You have to understand.” Ray was screaming his lungs out, fighting the cops and trying to get out from their hold. “You have the wrong guy!”
“Bloody fool.” One cop screamed in anger as Ray kicked his shin. The cop slapped him on the face, it was so hard that Ray’s entire face froze, his eyes opening wide. “Get this bastard in the car.” The cop ordered.
This time Ray didn’t fight. Even from this far, I could feel the sting of the slap, poor Ray.

I jumped up in shock, slamming the laptop shut. “No.” I squeaked out.
Alex dropped down on the couch seat beside me, opening the laptop and watching the You

Woohoo! New chapter for you!--Chapter 20. Not every clownfish is called Nemo.~~“I still can’t believe Evan liked Athena. I mean how can anyone like her? She’s heartless.” I complained as I stuffed a fork full of Maggi in my mouth.“Maybe she’s just pretending you know.” Zivah said, trying to get the Maggi in her chopsticks.I rolled my eyes at her failed attempts at using the chopsticks. “Will you stop that? Just use a fork.”Zivah pouted, trying one more time before sighing and placing the chopsticks on the table with force. “Stupid long sticks, so useless. The people in Korean drama use it so effortlessly.”“That’s because they have been using it since childhood. For you, it’s been 10 minutes.” I muttered, almost finishing the Maggi on my plate. “Hurry up and eat it Ziv.&rd

We are meant to be together. “Are you sure about this?”I continued scratching the back of my neck, staring at the page I had to sign before I could enter.“You don’t have to do this.”I have to, you have no idea how much.I thought to myself. Finally, I took a deep breath and sighed. I took the pen and signed my name in the book.“That way.” A disinterested hefty woman tilted her head at the door, not even glancing up as she continued to flip through an adult magazine. Both her legs on the table and her chair leaned back, she clearly didn’t care much about this job.I turned and smiled at Alex. “I am sure. I want to see him.”Ray Parker was going on trial in two days and I wanted to see him before I never had a chance to again. He was a friend at one point and I couldn’t carry this guilt around anymore.

Chapter 22. Pick a movie from Netflix.The scariest part isn't the feeling of loneliness or the darkness surrounding the intense pain or even the depths of ignorance.It's the realization that you have intentionally surrendered yourself to isolation, deprived yourself of emotions, lost the ability to smile and sold your soul to agony.And I had lost the ability to smile. I had lost the ability to feel anything except for that creeping hollow of pain in my abdomen and the strong waves of loneliness in my heart.I just lay there, in the dark, staring at the blank ceiling. No matter how many times I tried, no matter how many times I called, no matter what I messaged, the response had been the same – none.I didn’t have tears in me anymore, I wanted to cry. I did. But I was empty. I had cried too much, the pillow had stains all over it and so did my Panda blanket. So instea

And for the last one month, even the media didn’t know where the famous eligible bachelor was.I sighed, placing the coffee mug on the table and leaning my head back, staring out of the window and my mind took me into memory lane, 8 years back.I was a teenager then and still deciding on what to do with my future. Among the few friends I had during school, I had one friend that many didn’t know of.

And my mind turned blank.The axis of my world had tilted.Fate, my dear, can be a tricky friend.There were a thousand words I had thought of saying to Alex Bianchi when I would first see him. A hundred ways to frame the sentences and tens of ways to explain everything. But now sitting in front of him, on the 23rd floor in his B building, holding a cup of hot coffee – all I could think of was –What the bloody hell?I started at the milk coffee, hot vapors dancing over my face, both my palms now numb to the heat from the mug. I was breathing steadily yet I felt the blood in my brains was vanishing.Instead of giving Alex

I watch the News.”I snorted. “That’s why you are so boring.”Alex glared at me. “I am not boring.”“Then watch it with me.” I smiled, raising my eyebrows, daring him to say no.Alex groaned, closing his laptop. “Fine but just one episode.”“Two.” I bargained, grinning and starting the first episode.“No, one.” Alex argued, groaning as he sat and seized the popcorn bowl from my bowl.“Hey!” I protested, reaching for my cheese popcorn.Alex leaned back, his arm with the popcorn bowl stretching behind his back. “I am watching this stupid ser

He didn’t even glance back. “Just don’t be.” He paused. “-you.”I scoffed, walking at a brisk pace trying to match his pace. “What isthatsupposed to mean?”Alex ignored my question. He stopped briefly at the door of the rooftop lounge. “Under the name Ricci or asshole.”The desk staff was a pretty lady dressed in navy blue vest and skirt uniform with a golden bow tie. She seemed taken aback at Alex’s words. “Sorry, Sir. What was the reservation name again?”Alex exhaled loudly as if tired of taking the name over a hundred times already. “Ricci. Sebastian As

Sometimes we forget to take care of the things we love.“Have they caught the guy from Athena’s hit and run yet?”Alex looked up from his laptop at my sudden question. “No, the license plate was a fake and the nearby cameras caught the image but he was wearing a cap so his face is not visible.”I sighed, slumping down the couch beside him. “Why would anyone target Athena?” I put up my legs on the table and crossed my ankles.Alex lightly slapped my thigh. “Feet off the table. How many times should I tell you?”I twisted my lips in annoyance but reluctantly kept my feet back on the floor.“I am not sure. But we are tracking it down.”I scratched the back of my neck, staring the plain glass table in front.“What?”So lost in my thought, I jolted when Alex’s hand touched my shoulder.
