LOGIN~ Writer's point of view ~Loise followed behind Orion as he led her through the luxurious hotel lobby and toward one of the private suites reserved for their meeting. She had been quiet throughout the journey, still irritated by the way he had practically forced her to attend the dinner.The suite was beautifully furnished, with a long dining table arranged neatly in the centre, expensive paintings hanging on the walls and soft golden lights illumissnating the room. A few staff members stood nearby, waiting to attend to their guests, while Orion casually checked his phone.“Have a seat,” he said, gesturing toward one of the chairs.Loise did as she was told, placing her handbag beside her before adjusting the hem of her blouse. She glanced around the room, wondering how long the meeting would last, and whether she would be expected to participate in whatever business discussions the two men had planned.Thankfully, she didn't have to wait very long.A few minutes later, the door open
~ Writer's point of view ~Andrew was a little stunned by the girl's bold move, but the surprise didn't last very long before he found himself responding to her kiss, pulling her closer as his arms wrapped around her waist. Andrew found himself kissing her back with more intensity, his lips moving against hers as one hand settled firmly at her waist while the other travelled up her back.Alexis let out a soft sound against his mouth, her fingers tightening around the back of his neck as she rose slightly on her toes to keep up with him. She had expected him to push her away or, at the very least, give her one of his usual irritated lectures, but she certainly hadn't expected him to kiss her back like that.For someone who always acted as though he couldn't stand her, he was doing a rather terrible job of keeping his distance.When their lips finally parted, Alexis sucked in a breath, her chest rising and falling as she tried to catch her breath. She stared at him, a smirk slowly sprea
~ Writer's point of view ~Loise rushed into the hospital, her heart thumping furiously against her chest as she hurried through the corridors, barely paying attention to the people she brushed past along the way. Her phone had somehow managed to pick up a little signal just when Andrew called, and the moment he informed her that Madam Silvia had been hospitalized, she hadn't wasted a second before making her way there.She had barely caught her breath when her eyes finally landed on Andrew, who was seated on a bench outside one of the hospital rooms, his elbows resting on his knees as he stared down at his phone.“Andrew!”He lifted his head at the sound of her voice, and Loise hurried toward him, her hands trembling slightly as she tried to steady herself.“Is she alright?” she asked, her voice carrying more worry than she intended.“Yes, she's okay, Miss Loise,” Andrew replied, slipping his phone into his pocket as his gaze settled on her. He still didn't particularly like the woma
~ Writer's Point of View ~The building was an abandoned structure somewhere in the suburbs, far away from the busy streets of Manhattan, with cracked walls, broken windows, and patches of peeling paint that made it look as though nobody had stepped foot inside for years.Andrew parked the car a short distance from the entrance and cast a glance at Alexis, who was staring at the building through the passenger window.Despite the fear gnawing at her insides, she managed to offer him a slight smile."Thank you," she said, turning toward him. "I really mean it."Andrew raised an eyebrow."For what?""For choosing to come with me, even though you didn't have to. And for the loan."He stared at her for a moment before looking away, pretending her words hadn't affected him."I'll come get you if I don't see you in fifteen minutes."Alexis nodded, reaching for the door handle."Okay.""And keep your phone close.""I will, my sweet boy."Andrew's expression immediately darkened and she giggle
~ Writer's Point of View ~Alexis stared at her phone screen as she sat on a bench by the roadside, her fingers wrapped tightly around the device as though it were the only thing keeping her from completely losing her mind, while sweat trickled down her forehead and her breathing remained uneven. The first button of her shirt had come undone, and a few strands of silver hair clung to her damp forehead, but she couldn't bring herself to care about her appearance. She had called her mother repeatedly, hoping that perhaps the first call had been a mistake, that maybe she had managed to escape whoever had attacked her and would soon call back to explain what had happened, but every hour that passed by, she knew it was unlikely. Where was her mother?Who had taken her? And why hadn't they called back?Alexis lowered her head, rubbing her sweaty palms against her jeans as she tried to calm herself, but the more she attempted to think rationally, the more her mind wandered toward the worst
~ Writer's Point of View ~"Alexis?"Dylan's voice reverberated throughout the room, his eyes widening as he stared at the woman standing before him, and the moment she heard the disbelief in his voice, a smile slowly spread across her face."Oh, you finally recognized me?" she asked with a soft chuckle, casually making her way toward a nearby table before pulling out a chair and sitting down. "Took you long enough."She crossed one leg over the other, looking completely comfortable as though she hadn't just walked into a room full of people who had spent the past hour betting on her absence, and judging by the way everyone continued to stare at her, it was clear that her appearance had left them stunned.Nadia, on the other hand, looked as though she had just seen a ghost.Her knees nearly gave way as she stumbled backward, one hand instinctively reaching for the table behind her to steady herself, while her eyes moved over Alexis's face. How was this possible?How had the girl they
