DAMIEN POV

The door slams behind us with a finality that echoes down the narrow hallway.

For a second we just stand there—three of us breathing hard in the dim stairwell light. Leah’s hand is still in mine, fingers cold and tight. Emily’s back is pressed to the wall like she’s trying to make herself smaller. Victor’s voice filters through the thin apartment door above muffled curses, then something crashing it fades as he realizes we’re gone.

Emily’s voice cracks “What the hell just happened

    LEAH'S POV “You look flushed today… what happened?” Emily asked immediately as I entered the car. I told her about the “Mr Hale” I met just now. Narrating my horrible experience with him and his “daughter”.I couldn't help but laugh at his tone of saying his name. He said it more like he was trying to convince himself that Hale was his name.“Did you say Mr Hale or Detective Hale” “Detective?” I sneered. “Nah he can't be…. This man looks like a pervert”“Really… then it can't be detective Hale,” she said, shaking her head.“Who is Detective Hale?” I asked, I don't know why his name came up when I was discussing a perv.“Well… he is a detective… and…” she drawled, looking for the right phrase to describe him.“I don't know much about him girl, he just happened always to pop up anywhere I am… especially at schools and shopping malls.”“Girl… I might be wrong but he sounds like a weirdo, just like this one here too… avoid all Hales”She laughed at my last sentence.“So… where are we go

I have always prayed for a life-changing miracle and here it is. I can't wait for how happy we will all be soon.Moving out of the house where most of my childhood memories were made hits differently, but it's worth it. It means a new beginning.The thought of going for real shopping makes my heart jump. The joy must be written all over my face because Elena could spot it as soon as I entered.“Good morning…. Hmmm, something is going on” she said immediately.“Yes… It's good news actually… but first of all, how is Ethan?”“Oh… he woke up yesterday… and he is back home by this morning,” she explained quickly.“Oh… isn't that too early?” I tilted my head, squinting my eyes.“I don't think he cares that much, he only cares if he feels okay and ready to work” she said“Okay,” I shrugged, dropping my bag.“Well, Elena…” I drawled, smiling. “What ….

    LEAH'S POV I'm certain he expects me to forgive him without a formal apology. I would never do that. He has to apologize with a sincere intention. Otherwise, we will just be strangers with benefits. Nothing more.I got inside shortly after the sex. Mum was already asleep and the house was quiet again. I wonder how he got my mum to call me downstairs when he could have just called me himself.I didn't bother to dwell on the suspicion for too long. I fell asleep as soon as I got into the room. My alarm beeping in my dream jolted me awake. I check the time and realize it's past seven in the morning. I sit up, and the evidence of last night can still be felt between my legs. I wonder when the arching sensation will stop.I sit up rubbing my eyes. My mind drifts to what he said yesterday. He was so sure of it that it felt like he was in the room with me.How did he know I was touching myself? Was he spying on me?Does he have a camera here?I recall the time he told me about my open win

It was supposed to be make-up sex. I can tell she wasn't having it.She used me for her ovulation. Not like I care but I am worried. If the sex has no power what will?There is a war coming, I can feel it. Although I have no idea where it is coming from, I know the least I need now is to fight with her. Fighting drifts us miles apart and it's not good for any of us.I am supposed to be settled and calm now but I can't do that. All I could think of was how angry she was when she walked off. I kept on driving. I shouldn't drive in this state. I am pissed and frustrated. And I still have a little difficulty moving about. And I'm even more revenge-driven than ever.Carlos.That imbecile.

    UNKNOWN POV “.... The mission mustn't flop. If it does you have yourself to blame” I warned you strictly after giving instructions.“Got it” he said, dropping the call.Well, it's finally over. Now I should move to the next phase—a very dumb but useful pawn.Victor. Since the time I saved him from Damien's grasp while he was trying to escape. He has been hiding since then. Giving him the illusion of safety. He needs to become useful now.Well, he has been useful before, he provided Leah’s number for the paranoid call we did after the flower delivery. That call exposed a lot of things. It shows Damien isn't all that wise when it comes to his woman. He made his gesture so grand and public simply because she received a flower from another man.He needs to do better, which he won't by the way.“Hello,” Victor's alert voice came through."Do you still need the money?" I asked. I already know the answer. A man like Victor always needs money. That's the beauty of desperation. It never runs
