As we walked into the house, the warm glow of the living room lights enveloped us, and the soft hum of the air conditioner provided a soothing background noise. 

I turned to Kyle, who was already making his way to the couch, and asked, "So, you think we're going to ace it at the TV show tomorrow?" Kyle sat down on the couch, but he didn't respond. He just stared blankly at the TV, his expression unreadable.

I added, "Just don't forget what we practiced," trying to keep my tone light. But he still didn't respond. He just kept staring at the TV, his eyes fixed on some invisible point.

I shrugged and headed to the kitchen area to grab a glass of water. As I poured myself a drink, I couldn't help but think about the story Harry had told me about the Prescott family. 

They were indeed complicated, with secrets. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I thought about what I had become a part of.

I gulped down the water, feeling the cool liquid sli

    "I think you should go back inside now," DK said, standing up. I looked up at him, still trying to process everything."And Keith, why is he still not showing himself?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me."Even I don’t know, and I don’t even know his whereabouts," DK replied. "And I don’t know how he even looks like now. All I know is that he’s alive, he has always been. Even Harry thinks he’s dead," he said and I stood up."What really happened?" I asked. "Why did everyone suspect that Kyle was the one who killed his brother? And about the person you said he killed, are you also sure he was the one who killed him?" I asked, a part of me still really not wanting to believe all this.DK turned to look at me and sighed."I think it’s time for you to..." He paused and then continued, "You know, just stay away from the Prescott family," he said.Well, he didn’t need to tell me

    I opened my eyes, and I was surprised to see that I had slept off. My head was on the bed, and I was sitting on a chair next to the hospital bed.Then I looked at the bed, and I didn't see Kyle and I quickly scanned the room.That's when I saw him, sitting on the couch in the room.I quickly got up and went to him. "You should be on the bed," I said and he looked up at me, and for a moment, our eyes locked."Well, I'm tired of the bed," he said, his tone normal , like we were discussing something mundane."And how did I end up in the hospital?" he asked, his eyes curious and I was taken aback by his question.Did he really not remember what happened?I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond."You collapsed," I said finallyDid he remember what happened before he collapsed?I looked at him, trying to read his expression. But he just sat there like nothing was wrongI c

    I couldn't believe what I was hearing"What do you mean?" I asked still trying to process the bombshell she just dropped. Mrs. Prescott seemed amused by my confusion, and a sly smile spread across her face."What I'm trying to say is I approached you on purpose," she said, her words filled with an air of confidence.But I was having none of it. "No, you're lying," I shot back. "Amy did that because she hated me and wanted revenge for what happened."I was still trying to connect the dots, but Mrs. Prescott's words were like a puzzle I couldn't solve."She told me she had set me up with another man, not knowing I would end up with Kyle," I saidMrs. Prescott moved closer to me, her eyes locked on mine, and her hand reached out to caress my face."You still believed her?" she asked. "She played the game wisely, and you ended up in the trap," she saidI angrily jerked my face away from her hand, my an

    My eyes widened in shock, and my hands shook as I played the next video. It was a lady in a maid's uniform, and she was being interrogated."What do you have to say?" the lady behind the camera askedThe maid took a deep breath before speaking. "The young master killed the cat," she said "I was surprised, and the look on his face scared me." She paused, collecting her thoughts before continuing. "Then, when I found out what happened to the cat, I asked him about it. He told me the cat's meowing sounds irritate him." Her voice trailed off, and she looked like she was reliving a traumatic experience.The maid's words were followed by a pause, and then she continued. "The next day, when I asked him about it, he said he didn't remember anything." Her expression was one of horror, and it was clear that the experience had left a lasting impact on her.As I watched the video, I felt a chill run down my spine.The maid's words painted a d

    Kyle accompanied me to the room and once inside, I headed straight to the bathroom to dry off, the warm towel a welcome comfort against my chilled skin.As I stood in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but think about Kyle's behavior.If he truly pitied me, wouldn't he just let me go? Or was he trying to be kind so I'd stay? The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth, I had no intention of staying here any longer than I had to.After drying myself off, I opened the bathroom door, expecting the room to be empty. But to my surprise, Kyle was still there.He stood there and we looked at each other for what felt like forever. Then I sat down at the vanity, ready to dry my hair. I reached for the hair dryer, but before I could grab it, Kyle swooped in and took it from me."Well, let me help you," he said with a small smile and I was taken aback.Help me blow-dry my hair?I took the dryer back from him

  • The Billionaire’s Contracted Bride   A Moment of Sincerity

    The ride back home was silence, a heavy stillness that filled the car. I didn't wanna ask him anything, didn't wanna pry into the thoughts that seemed to be consuming him. Whatever he was up to, I just hoped it wouldn't affect him or anyone.When we got to the mansion, I unbuckled the seatbelt and turned to look at him, but he was already looking at me."Thanks for today," I said, trying to break the silence, but he only smiled. It was a small smile , the kind that hinted at unspoken words."I'm sorry, but I won't be escorting you inside," he said and I nodded"No need, it's okay," I saidAs I was about to unlock the car door so I could get out, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his hand around mine and before I could react, he pulled me into a hug. It was a sudden, unexpected movement, and I felt a rush of surprise and confusion.I tried to break off from the hug, but he only tightened his hold, his arms wrapping around me lik
