LESLIE'S POV

The drive to Willowbrook took five hours and then one more hour to reach Kaida District. The drive was the longest and most uncomfortable one I have ever been on.

Why? Because Saint decided to focus on driving only rather than converse with me and that had been going on since we woke up in each other's arms that morning. So, we were basically ignoring the elephant in the room.

I sighed and placed my head on the window, wishing for this long trip to be over.

I glanced at Saint when

    LESLIE'S POVI pressed my palm on my lap as we entered the Baxter estate. My stomach coiled and I had to take several deep breaths to avoid vomiting the breakfast Saint had forced me to eat.“Huh? Is someone moving away?” I heard Selene mutter beside me.I followed her eyes to see a big moving truck parked and obstructing the road. We had no way of passing except if the truck moved.Selene hissed and left the car and I did the same. If there was no way, then I would have to walk all the way home.“Excuse me.” Selene walked up to one of the men surrounding the truck. “Is someone moving in or moving away?”“Someone is moving in.” The man replied as he marked things on his notice board.“Can you move your truck then, please? As you can see, you have occupied the whole pathway,” she explained.“I'm afraid we can't do that, ma'am. We work with time here and until our mission is complete, we can't move an inch.”“What?” Selene scoffed. “That makes zero sense. Do you have any idea where you

    LESLIE'S POVMy hand clasped the steering wheel tightly, my pulse beating erratically. My eyes darted to the side mirror for the umpteenth time and I cursed at the black car still on my trail.“Turn left.” The GPS unit distracted me. I bit down on my lips and turned left. “You have reached your destination.”I gripped the steering as I stepped on the brake. It was probably a bad idea to stop when someone was obviously following me but driving around was not the right option either.I pushed the car door open and stepped out with shaky legs. I glanced at the car from my peripheral and noticed that they had parked as well. They weren't even trying to hide it anymore. I was at least grateful that they didn't rush at me like I had feared I turned away and pulled my blazer tighter around me. The air was chilly, despite it being the middle of summer. Perhaps it was because of the amount of souls wandering about, stuck between earth and the afterlife.I walked up the short but steep stairs,

    LESLIE'S POVMy eyes stayed trained on the walls in Saint's room. I had no idea what made it interesting but I had been staring at it for the past one hour.My bottom lips trembled and I sucked it in to avoid another episode. I thought I couldn't produce any more water works but I was wrong.My hand gripped the front of my dress and I eventually looked away. I had to see for myself. My legs swung from the bed to the floor and the door opened as I put on my slippers.“Where are you going?” Saint frowned as he put down the full breakfast set on the bed, beside me.“I want to return to my room,” I lied.“No,” Saint refused. “I cannot allow such a barrier to be between us. We've been in my room together for a few days now and we're good. Why don't you just move in here permanently?”I exhaled through my nose and shook my head. I've always loved to be in Saint's presence but all I wanted was to get away this time. “We've already crossed so many lines.”“Fuck the lines, Leslie.” He crouched

    DIANA'S POV“Behave yourself when we get inside. Remember that you have to impress your in-laws.” Dad turned to me.I rolled my eyes, my hands gripping my purse tightly. “I never asked you to bring me here so don't expect me to bend backwards for anybody.”“Diana!” He whisper-yelled. “Everything I am doing is for your own good.”“That's hilarious,” I chuckled. “Considering your dealings with the Whitmire family, aren't you just trying to expand your business? It has nothing to do with me and everything to do with your selfishness.”“You!” He almost blew up before he remembered where we were. “We will talk more when we get home. For now, force a smile on your face and don't mess it up.”I scoffed and quietly followed him into Whitmire mansion. My eyes moved around lazily before settling on the large family. It was my first time seeing Dalia’s six brothers and it was not surprising how much they grounded her. They were tall, handsome and muscular.However, it no longer looked like prote

    LESLIE'S POVMum.She looked the same. The mole by the side of her nose, her petite figure and her favorite red dress with white, now brown with age, polka dots. I took a step towards her but Saint pulled me back.“Your mother? Where? The street is empty, Leslie.”“She’s there. She is right there.” I pointed in the direction I had seen her but the space was now empty. “Huh? Where did she go? She was just there a minute ago.”Saint sighed and hugged me. “I know you miss her very much and I promise you we're going to find her soon.”I pulled away. “What are you saying? She's right there. I saw her. Don't you believe me?”“I believe you—”“Then let's go in search of her.” I grabbed his hand and tried to pull him to the other side.“Hold on, Leslie. Calm down.” He held my arms. “Tom and Orlando will go in search of her. If she's really around here, they will find her.” He pulled out his phone to message my shadow bodyguards.I bit down on my lips. I had already wasted too much time. She

    LESLIE'S POVI could still feel the sting of the slap but even that could barely hold water to the ache in my chest. I knew I wasn't accepted in the Baxter family yet but to see it acted out like this….In front of Liliana too.Even a stranger could turn them against me.“Selene! It was a mistake,” aunt Tiara said. “We..were swayed by that waitress.”I glanced at the waitress but I couldn't recognize her. Why was she trying to defame me?“Since it's a mistake, let's correct it from the very beginning.” I looked away to see Selene walking up to Liliana.My eyes widened when Selene hit her on the cheek.“Selene!” Liliana shrieked. “How dare you—” Her face whipped to the side when Selene hit her other cheek too. “You…you…”“Oh my.” Selene waved her hand. “It was a mistake. I was swayed by my anger.”“What?” Liliana held her reddened cheeks, her face contorted.“Did you think you could hit the matriarch and get away with it?” Selene rolled her eyes. “Saint will never hit a woman so I decid

    LESLIE'S POV The security guards barely paid any attention to me as I ran past them after the gate was opened. That was good. That means Mother had not given them the order to shut me out yet.Something could still be done.My legs burned with the amount of strain I was putting on them but I didn'

    LESLIE'S POVI opened up my closet as I got out of the bathroom, my eyes on the clock. I would be late if I didn't hurry. I paused as I noticed an unfamiliar dress hanging at the end of all my worn out clothes. It was a blue fitted formal dress with buttons arranged on its front and puffed out slee

    LESLIE'S POV I wrapped my scarf around my neck tighter, a little bit of it covering the bottom part of my face, giving me the perfect disguise. I bit down on my lips as I looked up at the Baxter Empire building for the second time that week. I have felt nothing but regret since last night. What i
