The next morning, I message Cole, asking if he'd be able to meet up.

His reply came an hour later, *Sure, where?*

So I sent him the address to a coffee shop, then went to take a shower, changing into a red long sleeved top tucked in a gray baggy trousers.

“Where are you off too?” Emery had asked once I got down the stairs, my hair packed up in a neat bun.

“I'm meeting with Cole.”

She nodded. “Alright.”

Then I noticed her own dressing. “Are you going somewhere?”

“Yeah, I'll be taking Donald to Sam's place. That's where he'll spend the weekend,” then she muttered, “apparently.”

This obviously distressed her, so I had to head over, placing a hand on her shoulder. “I know this is gonna be a little weird for you, but believe me, every child needs to be with their dads. Even if it's just for the weekend.”

She nodded, offering a small smile. “Yeah, I know.”

I gave her a warm hug before saying my bye, then leaving for the car, which drove me straight to the coffee shop.

    The photo was of me and Cold while we chatted in the coffee shop.‘This’ looked like a couple-like photo.Oh goodness.When Dale's meeting seemed unending, I decided to leave, heading back to his place.Sophie was sitting like she'd been awaiting my presence, leg crossed over the other's knee.I had no idea how I looked, but it was enough to land a satisfied smile on her lips.“Did he finally realize what a waste of time you are?” She asked, but I ignored her, falling on the chair opposite hers.At the moment, I didn't care about her insults. All I needed was to see Dale. To explain everything to him.Never had I felt this worried to prove myself to someone.Well, at least not since the first accusation that led to our divorce then.And now, something similar was happening.Something told me that, just like the last time, this false news might just be orchestrated by her.“I've always wondered what he sees in you.” Sophie scoffed. “If I were a guy, I'd never—”“Shut up, okay?” My pati

    “No.” I muttered, head shaking like that would erase what was on my screen. “No No No No.”This couldn't be happening.Oh gosh, how could I have been so careless?I should've known. I should've known that the media are hungry for any juicy sight. As long as it brought them views.What was I thinking? Goodness, what on earth had I been thinking when I hugged Cole in a public place.What would Dale think? How would he react?Shoot, he'd be mad. He was bound to be furious.I ran a hand through my hair, dropping my laptop as I rose to my feet, involuntarily taking to pacing back and forth like that'd bring a solution.After a few breaths to calm myself, I dialled his number. Just to be sent to voicemail.That made me cup a fistful of hair in my hand. “No.”This shouldn't be happening. At least not now, when we were just a few days in.Quickly, I put on my slippers, then hurriedly left the house for my car.“Take me to Dale's.” I quickly told the driver, who heeded, driving off. All the w

    Sophie took in a deep breath, muttering. “Oh gosh, how did I get here that this bitch gets to talk back at me this way.”Dale's frown made her huff, grabbing her luggage as she stomped off.Amber glared at me before following her.All I did was roll my eyes, not interested in the drama.Dale moved over, his arm finding my waist, as he gave my forehead a peck. “I'm so sorry about all these.”“It's okay,” I mean, I wasn't going to just sit back and cry if she tried being insultive.Obviously.Also, it wasn't like I was living with Dale.So I won't have to see her everyday.“You sure?”“She's your sister Dale, and she's in a real situation right now. I'm not going to be the reason you don't help your family when they're in need.” His family hated me, and I felt the same way.But that had nothing to do with him or his relationship with them.And I wasn't going to stop that.“You always find ways to make me love you more every day.” He rubbed my cheek with his thumb, giving my lips a peck

    “Sophie?” If I said I wasn't surprised, then that'd be a lie.I hadn't seen Sophie since the day I left their place three years ago, so this sudden appearance was a total surprise.“Yup, it's me.” It was only as she walked in that I noticed the luggage on her hand which she wheeled with her.“Uh, what's going on?” I asked, shutting the door once Amber also walked in.“Get me something to eat, I'm hungry.” She fell on the couch, leg crossing over the other as her arms spread to lean against the armrest, giving off royalty.I gave her a one over look, all the excitement in me dropped to the minimum as I smoothly sat on another chair.“I see you’re still alive. That’s unfortunate for my peace.” I said calmly, watching the frown that grew on her face.“You bitch, I can't believe you still have the guts to talk even after everything you've done.” Amber interjected with a huge frown.“Everything I've done?” I scoffed, elbows propped on my knees so I could lean forward. “You all should be gr

    “I didn't kill them.” The words were gritted, my fist clenched so hard, the veins popped out of my arm and neck.Because I really didn't.A few years back, while I was still the head manager at the company, I'd strategized a way to improve the company's stocks and status, but in return that had led to a destruction in many other upcoming companies.Sadly, Chloe's parents' company was a part of that.Their company had been into such a wreck that it depressed and stressed them so much, they both fell badly ill and died from the stress.I had felt guilty when I heard the news, but what I wasn't aware of then was who their children were.Not until a few days till I divorced Chloe when Nora's family figured it out.Instantly, I'd filed for a divorce, because not only had I not loved her this much then, but I knew the longer we were together, the more likely it was for her to figure out the truth.And that would hurt her.So I'd just let her go, using the opportunity of her being framed as
