LOGINIt’s been a week. We’re staying in Arzhel’s house. And Jarred was nowhere to be found. After he was seen in the hospital, no one knew his whereabouts. We couldn’t track him anymore. We didn’t even know if he was still in Los Angeles, but we didn’t want to get too comfortable. We still assumed he w
“What happened?” Arzhel asked the moment I entered the room and leaned on the wall to breathe. I gulped and blinked. I smiled. “I need to use the bathroom,” I reasoned. Arzhel chuckled. “Don’t they have a bathroom there?” he joked. I already started walking to the bathroom. “I was already in
“I will visit him later after I feed you and give you your meds,” I said. He smiled. “Thank you,” he said and gave me his sweetest smile. “But what am I? A kid?” he joked. I pouted. “No, but you're injured,” I said. He laughed. I saw Veronica roll her eyes. “Anyway, what happened to the perso

When I arrived, she was already there, sitting and sipping her tea. She flashed her signature fake sweet smile. I couldn’t believe I once believed that those smiles were genuine. I just rolled my eyes and sat down. I put my phone on the table, facing backward. “What do you want, and why do y
“Noooooo!” I shouted under the pillow while shaking my head. I heard the door unlock. I immediately ran to the bathroom to take a bath and run away from Arzhel. I looked at myself in the mirror. “You’re so dead now, Lia!” I whispered, embarrassed and irritated. I stayed in the bathroom for one
Instead of listening, I faced him. I held his chest. I saw him gulp. My eyes went to his Adam’s apple. I touched it. My body was suddenly burning with desire too. I did not know if it was the effect of alcohol or him, or maybe both. I looked at him in the eyes. My gaze went down to his lips. My o
