I checked my phone that was in my pocket. “I didn’t receive any calls from the police about him,” I said. But as soon as I said that, my phone rang. It was the New York police. Veronica and I looked
“I remember everything now.” I blinked once. The thing I’d been afraid of was now finally happening. “Y-you do?” I said. I myself was not even sure if it was a question or a statement. Arzhel looked at me. I tried to read him, if remembering everything made him mad or not. But I couldn’t read an

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
I looked at them. They all nodded in agreement. We continued for the rest of the meeting and finalized our numbers.
