Grayson's POV"I'm here. Why do you wanna see me?" I questioned after being silent for over an hour and just staring at her. I can't stay here any longer, she's not talking to so there's no reason for me to stay here. "If you have nothing to say, I'm outta here.""Are you really like this?" At last, she speak up. "Like this what?" I inquired. But she just chuckled and remained staring outside the window, which made me confused what's really wrong to her."I'm giving you a voice to speak up, but you wanna stay shut and make the time flew faster.""We made this together, Gray. But you're treating me differently after losing your child, you suppose to stay in my side. Not dealing unimportant things to avoid me!" She looked around and her sharpest gaze made me understand her pain. However, I am completely immune to pain. "So your demanding my attention? Is that what're you trying to imply, Erika?"She scoffed, "Your colder than an ice, and this isn't you when you lead my way into thi
Patricia's POVI never been here before not even once, that's why this isn't Gerald's property which is confusing for me. The mysterious man who help him, he definitely the owner of this small house located at nowhere. I am grateful he told me Gerald's conditions, but still cannot believe Grayson done it to him. What is happening to them? After Grayson stop showing up to his mansion and totally abandon me, I knew he's after Erika. He may kick her or show no mercy on her the day she was kick out of the mansion, I also knew Gray won't let her go easily. Especially since he started being that man who caught my attention. So far, Grayson still coming house but sleeping on the different bed. He's avoiding me and I can feel it because whenever I'm trying to approach him, he's pretending to call someone or walking away before I could able to talked to him. "You should take a rest and visit your mother. She is worried to you, Patricia," that familiar voice, I'm sure it's him. I turned a

However, I'm grateful we ended up friends after all those struggles we face. Maybe we are meant to see again, and forgive each other.The fresh air coming from the lake is comforting. I never thought this beautiful land still glowing even though we're getting out of the calendar soon. "You made a good role to raise my son, Robert. He become a man I wanted to be and letting him be on your side is the right choice I ever made," he said. "That's the least I can do to pay my sins, Fred. We are friends, but I destroy our friendship. She's the only woman who show me the life isn'
Gerald's POVWhat's this light? Where it coming from? This isn't heaven because they never accept sinners and I am sinner, which is one of the reasons. I slowly moving my fingers before opening my eyes and exposed to a dazzling light coming from the ceiling. And then I tried to get up t have a closer look because this is not my room, neither hospital room. "Gerald!" Patricia's voice surprised me and quickly approach to help me get up, "What are you doing? You supposed not to get up.""Where the hell I am?" I questioned.

Gerald's POVSilence wrapped the whole room and he seemed to be thinking how to start our conversation. I'm not stupid enough not to think he'll thinking a way how to convince me, even though we have resemblance I can't just accept him like nothing happened. Trying to avoid his gazes, annoying stares, uncomfortable presence and also the fact he's my real father. I killed the fake on and took advantage of it just to be part of mafia organization, they accept me with no doubt and even thinking I'm a fraud. Perhaps he really thought I can be deceived easily and, Hector wanted to use me as his weapon to kill Grayson. "I don't know how to start this chat, but if you had doubt on listening to me. Then asked me questions, maybe it'll help you accept me..." He finally talked. "Why would I do that? You were just a man whose curious about my situation, save me from death to have another chance to explain your side. Then you what me to listen? Isn't it ridiculous, Fred?" I said."Is that hat

I decided to visit my brother and mother who's on this house, and own by Grayson. Well, I didn't even expecting him to have a small house near from the sea. So, this house is more on vacation house that is far from the city. However, I'm nervous because after all the things my mom and I fight about, she's still my birth mother and without her I'm not here. "Ready to meet them?" Grayson's voice made look at him, and smiled because somehow he change. "I think so...""What's wrong?" He asked me with concern. "It's just that... I'm scared to face my mom and had no words prepare, even things to discuss. Maybe I need more time to be prepared?" "No, Erika. You already prepared everything and all you need to do is say everything to her, maybe it'll help both of you to forget?" He answered. Am I dreaming? I mean, Grayson is a little bit weird for me today
Erika's POV"He's handsome and charming," Mom commented. I just smile and looked back at the shore where my brother and Grayson talking and playing. She's not aware about my role into Grayson's life but I don't have any plan telling her because no mother wants their daughter to sold her body to be a surrogate."Erika?" She called my name, so I turned to her."Why are you seemed bothered?" She asked. "Nothing, mom. Just thinking what my life be if it's wasn't for him, although I already disappoint him. I lost our baby and didn't know how to start over..."She held my hand and uttered, "I know how hard it was, but maybe that baby wasn't for you. I mean, I know you wanted to have a baby badly, but maybe it's not your time to have it. Just wait patiently...""I can wait, mom.

"Even though you want us to disappear, we can't. I don't wanna ruin your alone time, but I'm afraid so that your father wanted to take you with him."I stop from reading after hearing it, "I know but he can't forced me to go with him. I rather be shot by your legal son again than wasting my life with him, so I'm not coming with him."My decision is final and no one can change it since I still have business to deal, and don't wanna leave it unsolved. I don't care if he's my legal father and he had the right to take me, but I'm too old for that. I don't need any parents consent on what I shouldn't do and should do. "Listen, Gerald. I made a mistake for distancing you to me because I thought if you get close to me. It's going to be hard for both of us to separate.""Don't push it, Robert. I have no t
