Exactly one hour later after my nap, I was standing right in front of the five-star hotel where I’d be having the fun of the night. Not that anything in my life was fun in the first place.I entered the hotel and the hotel attendant rose up from her seat when she saw me.“Welcome, Miss.” She smiled politely at me while I nodded.“Is he here?” I asked. “Yeah, he was at the restaurant earlier but…” she trailed off as she glanced through the computer on her desk. ‘He’s at the hotel’s club.”“All right.” I smiled at her and began to head towards the club.As I got closer to the club, I went through my bag to get my mask and when I had it in my hold, I was quick to cover my face with it. We wouldn’t want anyone seeing my face, would we?“Geez!” I exclaimed when my forehead stung from the sudden collision.“I’m so sorry, Miss.” The person I bumped into hurriedly apologized.I raised my head slightly but before I could get the chance to see who it

Ryan’s POVI gulped slightly as I sat up. Taking a deep breath, I glanced sideways at my alarm and just then, it rang.It was a routine, somehow a habit I had formed, to always be awake a minute or two before my alarm clock rings. I shut the stuff up, let down my legs, and stood up to head for the bathroom.I did my normal morning routine of brushing my teeth, taking my bath, and getting dressed for work. Just when I was about to button up my shirt, my phone rang. I reached out to grab it and without checking the ID, I swiped across the screen and placed the phone close to my ear. I waited for the caller to speak while I continued with what I was busy with.“Hey sweetheart,” I heard that cheerful voice.“Morning, mom” I smiled as I moved over to my shoes collection to pick the pair I’d wear.“How was your night, darling?” I paused when I heard her question. My mind ran back to last night.I didn’t realize I’d zoned out until her voice from the oth

Ryan’s POVI pulled out my car keys after I was assured I parked the car properly. I reached out to the board I placed my phone on and I picked it up. I opened the car door but before stepping out, I grabbed a plastic bag that I had earlier placed in the car.Letting out a deep breath, I head towards the house after locking the car doors, pressed the door bell and waited patiently for the door to be opened. While waiting, I unconsciously tapped my fingers with my back to the door. “Ryan!” I turned at the sound of the surprised voice. “Aunt Melinda,” I smiled at the middle-aged lady who seemed so surprised to see me.  Aunt Melinda, as I call her, worked at our house even before my birth. She was someone closer to me after my own mother. She made my childhood fun-filled and so lovely that I was never affected by the fact that I couldn’t see much of my parents around.&n

Samantha’s POV“If it isn’t my baby…” I smiled with fake courage as I stared back at him with the same intensity. Even with the small mask he had on his face, I undoubtedly recognized him. How can I forget this man? “We meet again.” “Yeah,” he nodded. “I’ve been dying to see you again.” “It’d have been better if you were dead.” I mumbled slightly, enough for him to hear me.“Nah!” he shook his head and chuckled. “I can’t die like that.” “Leave guys.” He ordered the four men that stood behind him and they filed out.I kept quiet and expected him to say something when he continued to stare at me. For him to be right here in my presence, he definitely tracked me down. Or someone probably gave him the information that I was back.“How did you find me?” I asked. His mouth moved into a sma

Samantha’s POVI hurried out of bed as soon as the alarm clock rang out. I can’t believe I slept in so late. I rushed into the bathroom to get myself ready for the day’s work.After observing the proper hygiene routine, I got dressed as usual in my suit and pant. I gelled up my hair and styled it to the masculine type that I always go with. Once I was done, I took an observant look at myself and I was certain I was good to go. I grab the necessary things I needed and rushed out of my room. I glanced briefly at my wristwatch and I realized my phone would get disturbed soon by calls.I didn’t even get the chance to complete my thoughts before my phone rang. “Damn it!” I hissed when I saw Philip’s name flashed across the screen. I swiped to the receive side and placed the phone close to my ear.I made sure I held it in place with my shoulder while I moved closer to the kitche
