It was Veronica’s idea. I twisted the doorknob slowly. I looked at Jessica, who just stood and came closer to me. James was sleepin
It’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 released a deep breath and played it again. Stephanie sweetly smiled. But then, she did not answer it. “What are your thoughts that Mr. Arzhel and his ex-wife are now business partners?” another reporter asked. That question made my heart skip a beat. Stephanie’s forehead started to crease, li
He laughed but didn’t bother to deny it. My teasing laugh slowly turned into a bittersweet smile. Adrian saw how Arriana grew. He treated her as his own daughter, and as someone who acted as a father to someone who was not really his child, I knew it hurt him knowing that Arriana’s father was clos
Two days since the renovation started, and since that almost intimate moment with Arzhel. “I’ll never understand why you had to cheat.” What he said kept appearing in my mind every once in a while. Why did he ask me that question? Does he have what-ifs too? I shook my head, as if he would feel t
