Chapter 20

Shit! shit! Shit! I realized that I didn't live alone anymore only When Gray dropped me at my apartment. How irresponsible of me to completely forget about my dear brother!? I only hope he didn't notice, which is wishful thinking. Of Course, He would notice!

Slowly, I tiptoe inside my apartment, shutting the door. When I turned back, I screamed in horror seeing Ruth and Jonathan standing in the living room with arms folded in front of their chest. Ruth smiled evilly but Jonathan looked angry and his glare made me want to run out of my place. Anywhere that wasn't within his reach.

“WHERE…THE …FUCK …HAVE…YOU…BEEN!?” Okay, I take back my words. He's in his maniac mode. The only time he has ever been this angry is when our old neighbor stole his puppy. The image of my old neighbor's bloody nose flashed in my head at that moment. “Get in here!” He roared at me. It didn't take seconds for me to scramble towards him.

    Chapter 22“Daddy Louis!” It was Noah who broke out of his confusion and ran towards his father. Jenna wasn't smiling anymore. Instead, she stared at her son, seemingly confused at his sudden appearance. I watched Gray's twin pick his son up and laugh when Noah said something in his ears. It made me wonder how Noah called both Gray his dad and Louis ‘Daddy Louis’ “Louis. What are you doing here?” Jenna took a step towards the father-son pair. Her tone slightly changes with her questions. It was so different from how she speaks with Gray and that intrigued me. Maybe it was because Gray had warned me that his brother was dangerous. The desire to find out about this man shocked me to the core. “Hi Mom,” Jenna took the whole introduction thingy to a whole level. She cleared her throat, “Oh right. This is Meredith, Louis.” At the mention of my name, his eyes shine with interest. He looks so kind and giddy, although he has the same face as his brother, I came to n

    Chapter 21It happened before I could even react, Gray was beside us in a flash. I don't know how things escalated that quick but One second, Zachary was kneeling beside me, and the next Second, he was being yanked up by Gray and they were in each other's faces. I jumped in shock and went instantly towards Zachary’s side trying to pull them apart which made Grey's seem even madder. “Oh My God. What are you guys doing? Gray! Let him go.” I shouted, scared that Zachary will get a punch without deserving it. “She’s not yours to touch,” Gray growled in Zachary’s face. I flinched at the anger in his voice. With much reluctance, Gray lets go of Zachary Collar but the latter is not having it. He growled and looked in my direction. “Meredith is not yours either. She and I went way back. It's not your business to act like the way you did.” It's obvious that Zachary was caught off guard with the way Gray reacted considering

    Chapter 19 I groaned in horror when I opened my eyes and was attacked with a killer headache when morning arrived. I was alone in Gray's bed wearing only my bra and panties, although We didn't have any sex last night, the guit starts to creep in, I felt uncomfortable to be lying awake in Melissa's fiancee bed. (That wasn't what you were thinking last night when you were ready to jump into the bed with him) I wish I could turn off my brain for at least a day so that I would stop feeling so bad. But what is done is done, I went with Gray willingly and obsessing over Why I shouldn't have done it won't erase the last twenty four hours. ‘It makes the world less unbearable If I am with you and I am addicted to you’ Gray words from last night echoed in my ears, I couldn't stop the butterflies fluttering in my belly. I was sure there was a wide grin on my face. “What are you thinking about?” Speak of the devil. Gray was watching me with arms crossed over his chest at the

     Chapter 18 Our Kiss doesn't last as long as I had hoped. We are interrupted by banging and cursing from the other side of the door. Gray doesn't let go of me even after I tried to push him away. He was relentless and held me still to his chest until the banging stopped and we heard the sounds of feet walking away. “Do you want to come to my place tonight?” He asked me, his blue orbs trying to figure me out. I wanted to lash at him, and slap his cheek at his suggestion but something about his gaze told me that he wasn't expecting sex but I don't make it easy for him. “Why Would I come to your place?” I asked, instead. He looked almost embarrassed at my question but hid it quickly behind his hard facade. “Because I want you to be there.” That seals the deal. Just a simple, affectionate word from him, and I was following him when he snagged me away from the bathroom and towards his car. Gray tried to open the door next to the

    Chapter 17  Finally, after the dreadful week of working and designing for the fashion week, I am oddly satisfied with how my designs work out. Zachary, bless his soul, was supportive and helpful when it came to helping me. He modeled, measured, and bought me food if I forgot to buy my lunch and dinner. Tonight is the night. The suit which I made would be worn by Zachary for the Runaway walk and it's killing me inside with nerves and excitement.For the evening, I wore my hair up in a bun with silver hoop earrings attaching my ears and colored my lips red that looked like I drank blood. It was my confident look(according to Ruth) but under the bold makeup and black sexy dress that has a slit in the middle that shows my thigh, I am filled with nerves, tension, and stress. Rose met me at the doorstep when I arrived looking like I belonged on the red carpet. She whistled and linked her arms around me, dragging me into the staff offic
