“Kyle's expression was one of confusion, his brow furrowed as he asked, "What do you mean I kissed you?" He looked at me like I had just spoken a language he couldn't understand.
I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I realized I had said too much. I tried to brush it off, to pretend like it was no big deal. "Well, forget I said anything," I muttered, looking away from him.
But Kyle was not one to let things go. He arched his brow, his eyes narrowing as he asked, "Are you now making things up?" His tone was incredulous, and I could tell he didn't believe me.
I just glared at him, feeling a surge of annoyance. I couldn't blame him for not remembering the kiss, not when he had been drunk at the time. But still, it stung that he didn't recall it, that he thought I was just making it up.
"Can you go out now?" he asked, his voice firm "I really need to work on my laptop now before I freshen up."
I rolled my eyes, feeling a surge of skepticism.
The thought of going to the TV show was still lingering in my mind, refusing to be shaken off. It was a constant reminder of the potential risks and consequences that Kyle and I might face. As I sat in my room, I found myself pondering the possibilities of what could go wrong.I decided to take my mind off things by checking out the TV channel that hosted the show. I brought out my phone and navigated to the channel's website, curious to see what their latest show was like.As I scrolled through the website, I came across their latest episode, which featured a minister and his wife as guests. I watched the episode, and it seemed to go well for them. They answered the hosts' questions with ease, and even though I could tell that some of the questions made them a bit nervous, they were able to handle them with poise.But what struck me was that they were a real couple, they’ve been together for years and they got children and that made all the difference.

After Harry had left, I sat down on the couch in the living room, my mind reeling with thoughts. The conversation with Harry had left me with more questions than answers, but it had also given me a glimpse into the complexities of the Prescott family.I thought about Harry, about the pain and the anguish that he had endured. Probably he wasn't that bad after all, I thought to myself.His actions, his behavior, it all seemed to make sense now. The death of his mother, probably it had all contributed to his development of dissociative identity disorder.But as I sat there, my thoughts turned to Mrs. Prescott. How can someone be so crazy and cruel like that? I wondered.She had destroyed her own daughter, had driven her to madness and despair. And now, she was trying to control me, to use me for her own purposes.I remembered Kyle's words, his warning to me not to work too much in the office. Probably he knew about his grandmother's plans,
I sat in my room, but my mind was elsewhere. Mrs. Prescott's favor weighed heavily on my thoughts. She wanted me to take over the company, leveraging my unique position as the carrier of her grandson's child.I let out a sigh, frustration etched on my face.She had dangled the offer like a carrot, tempting me with the promise of revenge against those who had wronged me.She knew I had wanted revenge "Take over the company, and you'll have the ultimate revenge," she had said.But at what cost?And what was her motive?Why did she want me, an outsider, to take the reins?I wasn't even related to the Prescott family, except through the child I carried.Then the rumors swirled in my mind about Harry who taking over the company.Why did Mrs Prescott asked me first ?Was it a power play? Or something more sinister?I thought about my threat to Kyle.Had I been foolish to think it would work? What if he didn't reinstate Freya?Would I really take over the company?The thought sent a shiver
I sat in my room, replaying Kyle's words in my mind.He can't really mean it, right?There must be something he's hiding, something he doesn't want me to know. But the doubt lingered.What if it's true? What if he really killed his own brother?My mind raced with questions. Why would he do that? What could drive someone to commit such a heinous act?I thought back to the picture of Kyle and his brother under his pillow. Did he look at it out of guilt or nostalgia? The ambiguity unsettled me and I went to the bathroomAs I showered, my thoughts shifted to DK. I hoped he was okay, recovering from his collapse.Lost in thought, I spent more time in the bathroom than intended. When I emerged, I dried my hair and heard voices downstairs.Curiosity piqued and I made my way to the living room.Seven maids stood in a row, their faces expressionless.Kyle sat in a chair, sipping a drink.I met Frey
"Tell me the truth," I demanded, my voice firm but laced with a hint of trepidation. I hoped he wouldn't hurt me.DK shut his eyes, his face contorted in anguish. He let out a deep sigh."Sorry, I can't do this," DK said, his voice cracking.He abruptly exited the car, leaving me stunned.I quickly unfastened my seatbelt and chased after him."You can't do what exactly?" I yelled, my feet pounding the pavement. "Are you lying about having Dissociative Identity Disorder? Who are you exactly?"DK halted, his back still turned."Just stop, please," he yelled back, his voice laced with desperation.I recoiled.The smiling DK, who always seemed carefree, was finally showing his true colors.Maybe I could get him to reveal something."Wow, are you finally showing your true self?" I pressed.DK's hands clenched."Are you Harry now? Huh?" I taunted.DK touched his temple and a low groan e
