LOGINKayla TWO DAYS LATER The past two days have been a hellhole for me. I didn't go anywhere. I haven't received either Riley, Camilla and Noah's calls. I kept turning it off. I kept swiping the red button of each call till I got tired of it.Answering Ryder's call wasn't an option either. He'd continue to push till he gets the truth from me. Ryder came around yesterday. He kept knocking on my door, calling my name, pleading for me to let him in. But I can't do that when I'm in a mess,I don't even know if I'm sane anymore.Trash packs of snacks filled the house at every space and it hurts that I always turn limp whenever I remember the words of Noah. How can I be a twin?, that too with Noah?. And Camilla's word?. I don't even know what to say. I can't imagine the possibility of Riley betraying me.Earlier today, I got a message from Noah. It had a PDF document attached to it. I knew it was info about Riley and Camilla's claim.Since then my phone has been on my table while I stared bl
Kayla We sat in his car as he listened to me and when I finished my last sentence,he let out a deep sigh that I felt was a little exaggerated.“Do you think I could be of help to you?." His eyes locked with mine and for a moment I felt uncomfortable." You've always been of help to me, Noah.” I replied fast and avoided his gaze. My eyes swept over the city and everyone walked to and fro with their daily schedules in mind." You're with Ryder Brooks now. Right?” I nodded my head and he sighed for the second time since I entered his car."Yes.”He blinked twice like an action suddenly dawned on him. Is something wrong?Does this have to do with Riley as well?”He shook his head in denial. " No.” he finally said after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence.My tensed muscles relaxed and I closed my eyes. I can't even grasp what Camilla just told me and now this.. the fact that the atmosphere is totally weird and awkward makes me feel something is wrong.Noah turned to me, his lips parte
Kayla THE NEXT DAY I watched as Riley’s fingers worked on her keyboard while her eyes fixed on the screen. “You've been staring for a while now. Don't you have any work on your desk?" She snapped and turned fully to face me. I played with my pen while my mind wandered aimlessly without a clue. " How’s the hotel going?.” I finally asked. She raised her brow, spiralled her chair to face me completely. “That's random." She smacked and said to me, “You haven't told me much about the hotel ever since our company came out of bankruptcy. Or ever sim I had something to do with Ryder." I turned it off my system and relaxed on my chair. She blinked her eyes rapidly and avoided my gaze. “It's going well. Making a name for us and with time we'd get there." My lips curved into a smile. “We'd all get there." I said softly to her and she nodded and turned to her system, she clumsily knocked off her hot latte on the floor and it spilled over some files. “I'm sorry." She whispere

Kayla OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL “What did my dad talk to you about?" Ryder didn't even spare me a glance nor did he even think of giving me an answer. He smacked his lips and put both his hands in his side pocket." Guess?” He grinned at me.Guess?. Would I even bother to ask if I guessed it right?. “Forget it.”He smiled and held my hand. “Good thing he's fine. Now you won't get to bother yourself about him for now. Should I get you something to eat?What should I cook for you? Are we going over to your place?.” He opened the car door for me and ran around to the car.“Let's just have pizza. Go back to work,” I turned to look at him when he accelerated the car engine. “Why do you come around while Liam does the work?" He popped his eyes. “Huh?"“Riley makes me do all the work because her husband is in distress.” He chuckled. " I'd do exactly that.” We stopped at the Nile Restaurant that wasn't far from the office and Ryder walked in to get what I ordered.I realized that I didn't let h
Kayla The next day The morning breeze hit me from the window and clearly reminded me that I needed to get my lazy ass off the bed and go to work. Trusting Riley to do my work wasn't a good idea and the thought of the stack of files that waited patiently for me on my desk made me shudder. Of course I was all alone in this.. I was soon ready after a whole catastrophe I made and called breakfast. An outrageous amount of soap I added to my bath water.. and the clumsy messy bun I made. What's even wrong with me? I really hope the drive to Moreno Enterprise won't be another temptation. Well,it wasn't. And Riley won't stop pestering me no matter how occupied I am. “Apart from the nights where you both had a contract. Have you both done anything else?” My pen seized to move when she asked me that question. " See. You both have. And I can see he's good.” She patted her desk slightly. " What?” " He's good. That's why you stopped moving and your face.." She gestured round my face.
Kayla Everything just sounds so surreal for me,the fact that I didn't tell anyone about this makes it a lot harder for me.I've been thriving for a long time to take the Moreno enterprise to the top, but a single shot from someone I don't even know had all my hard work going down the drain.“You s
Kayla “Riley what's the best chances of having Logan Vaughn have a conversation with me,I need to talk to him”Riley looked up from her computer as I stood up.Well I'm just about to have lunch and I figured out I might need some fresh air and maybe go to a restaurant to eat out.“Logan Vaughn doe

Kayla I stepped inside my father's company. ‘MORENO ENTERPRISE ‘ My body jolted in fear when the sound of popping of wine and opening of sparkles containers filled the air. My lips curved into a smile. Every workers remembered. It was another year of celebrating a marriage I haven't enjoyed fo
