AMAYA'S POV Our talk continued as we got inside the mall. For once, I got worried that one of her bodyguards might be working for Hugo and his Dad but Francoise was confident enough that they aren't. So I let myself have less tension. "You don't have to worry about them overhearing our conversation. I got them all on my side. The waiters and other staff at that dinner, even some of those family members. I know that you have noticed that they're fake." She continued while scanning some outfits hung on a stand."Well, they're not good actors and actresses, that's for sure. And you're not bad yourself." I said as a reply standing behind her looking for these piles of goods as well."I know right? I love it when they buy it. Those poor Crocs are hungry for money. -Oh! This is cute! Look! This could suit you!" As she picked up a red slit dress that disturbed our talk.Though still, I'm worried that maybe sometime later she might stab me in the back. I don't think she's acting on this one
AMAYA'S POVI am currently in my office facing all the documents I needed to sign and review. Yet behind this bunch of works, My forehead rests in the palm of my hands while my elbows are on the table. Overthinking or reconsidering all the other possibilities. I couldn't relax at all after my encounter with that police officer. She didn't want to let Hugo know about it that as soon as Hugo came into her office, we already changed the subject. Like I was just having a conversation with someone who was a fan of mine. Though something tells me that I needed to meet her again. She might know something I don't. I might have been misled by a different suspect or something. Maybe it's a good thing that Max shouldn't be here with me now. I can't risk seeing him getting hurt too. I still love him behind all that. I can't keep lying that I don't anymore.My head feels like it's going to explode."Hey Amaya, I am starting to get worried about you now. How about you take a break from work?" Vaniq
AMAYA'S POVAfter I told Max about how strange the aggregation of these siblings is he seemed to take it into the matter and would look into it as well. Despite the distance between us, we somehow managed to reconcile after a month of not talking to each other. There was just too much in hand. When I finished all my work at the office and it was time for us to go home, I didn't come along with Vanique and Noah. Instead, I chose to stop by the hospital where Flynn was admitted. He's still comatose but they said he was getting better. I just hope he won't have any more complications after he wakes up. Such as forgetting things or more than that. He's been a good person behind all the mean things I did and I am always thankful. Also, I needed to talk to the hospital staff about his transfer to LA since his twin sister, Fylissa, asked me if I could do something when I was talking to Max on the phone earlier. Their parents would be more at ease if he would be in their care. Knowing all th
AMAYA'S POV As we left the restaurant and arrived at the parking lot. Hugo drove so fast and suddenly stopped the engine in a dark alley as if we were hiding from someone. We sat still inside the car for about thirty minutes. I didn't talk or tried to ask him why. But based on his actions, it seems like he is avoiding Francoise. That he knew exactly the possibility of her following us everywhere. And for once, I don't want that either.Before he started to drive back, Hugo let out a huge sigh. "I'm sorry about Francie. I didn't want her to ruin our date either but I have no other choice. If I'll resolve it differently like not letting her join us. It will escalate the situation. As I have said before, she's different." He said while leaning his head on the wheel. To be honest, I could feel the same frustration that he is feeling right now. There is something about her that doesn't complete the puzzle."Don't worry. I understand." "Anyway, Would you like to come with me to my place?
AMAYA'S POVI was awoken by a ray of sunlight coming out of my window. I loved how the light touches my skin every morning. Since my mom stayed here, she often opens the curtains for me to at least notice that it was already morning. Though I appreciated it because it makes me feel at peace the second I open my eyes before continuing my day with unhealthy thoughts. It feels surreal. It helps to clean up the confusions I always have and straighten it to my actual goal. I didn't want to get up from my bed just yet since I was enjoying the moment but my mom got my attention when she knocked on my door to inform me about someone who just arrived at my house. "Hugo's Downstairs waiting for you. If you don't mind me asking dear, Haven't you settled with that fake engagement yet? It's been a month so people may have forgotten about it already." Her concerned tone is very well appreciated now since we fixed our relationship. I know that she didn't mean it bad now, not that I usually overthin
AMAYA'S POVWith blistering confidence, I confronted the women waiting in the lobby of my building. As I took a step closer to them, their faces got more and more furious and it made me think of how desperate they are. Maybe they tried to hold on to them because they thought these men changed.One charged at me and slapped me while the other two were trying to stop her. Well, if this is the only way for them to resolve such things then I will not change my mind about continuing the case."Who do you think you are that you could accuse our boyfriends of raping you! Do you think you are that mighty to just choose random suspects to waste your money with because you don't have anything to do with it?! Your article is fake!" "As if we believe that someone like you goes to the same school our boyfriends went to. Are you that sad Ms. Wescott?! Is that the consequence of being too rich?!" I couldn't control myself from being aggressive as well since they started it. So I pressed her cheeks
AMAYA'S POV As soon as the trial was adjourned I was relieved to finally be out of their radar. Those criminals couldn't speak for themselves the moment I arrived. Even after I talked for myself. I continued to walk outside the court and as expected there were too many media again trying to interview us. But we just went straight to the car as Noah assisted us till we got inside. Malia patted my shoulder as if she was saying that I did a great job at the court today. I just looked at her and gave her a slight smile as Noah proceeded with driving. Though before we could even move farther from the crowd someone suddenly called on my phone. It was an unknown number. It was very unusual for me to see an unregistered call on my phone and yet something is telling me that I would not regret answering this one. The moment I said my greeting, I heard a very familiar voice from the other side. At that moment, I couldn't be happy enough to hear that voice. "A-Amaya?" Heavy breathing in between
MAX'S POVI didn't like what I heard from Malia at all. True, Amaya and I do have constant communication to make our relationship work but it looks like it wasn't enough. Amaya needs the physical me beside her. The one that should be comforting her or supporting her with the rape case. But no, it was someone else who is with her right now. That fucking Hugo is ruining my chance in this relationship!I gave a strong thump on my table as I saw Fylissa's reaction right in front of me trying to peacefully finish her coffee. It was priceless. She continued sipping it though but I couldn't handle seeing her so calm after witnessing me lose my control. She may have given me a shocked face earlier but I don't like it. Vesna's response could be different."Ugh! If only your brother was already awake then I wouldn't need to worry about Amaya being entangled with that strange French guy!" I exclaimed in frustration and turned my back from Fylissa and looked through my window. I can see the stree
