Masuk“Just finishing some tasks so I could hand them all to you,” she said. I looked at her laptop again. I was about to tease her, but then I saw her nervously glancing at her laptop too while smiling widely, trying to act innocent even though she herself knew I caught her. In the end, I just slightly
I looked at Adrian. I wanted him to meet Arzhel and get to know more about him as a man, but then, I needed to talk to Arzhel first, knowing that he didn’t like how Adrian reacted back in New York. “I want you to know him,” I started. “He’s a changed man now, Adrian,” I said. “But I need time.” H
I swallowed and released a deep breath. I also closed my eyes for a moment. “Okay, face him,” I told myself. As soon as I opened my eyes, I started to hear footsteps coming my way, and when I was about to fully push the door open, someone from the inside pulled it. I waited for the door to be ful
“You’re not coming with us, daddy?” she innocently asked. I actually expected her voice to be full of pain and disappointment if ever she would ask that question, but I was so proud to hear her voice full of understanding. She might have realized that Arzhel and we have our own houses here in Los

I couldn’t think of any reason. I was not yet allowed to tell him the truth. I needed to give him the same reason I told him before. “He is my friend,” I said. Arzhel pressed his lips, then released a deep breath. He looked at me. His eyes were full of warning. “I will give you one last chance,
I slept in the visitor's bed in Arzhel’s hospital room. When I woke up, I heard Arzhel’s voice and another man’s voice. “I’m sorry, Mr. Arzhel, but we can’t discharge you yet.” I looked at them. It was the doctor. “Yes, you can. I’ll get a doctor to monitor me at home,” Arzhel said. There was aut
