CHAPTER 40
 Geraldine and I were silent at first, just staring at Len in shock, but after a while, we were able to recover and invited Len to join us. I introduced them to each other and because they have lots of things in common, they easily got close, much to my relief. And because of that, I was able to calm down and didn't make move out of anger which was just good.Len asked about what happened, so I told her about the note and she too, was curious as to how did the note get here. Even she doesn't remember anyone going in the kitchen aside from her, Mirna, Caleb, and of course, the guards."I'll ask the building for the CCTV footage, I'm sure we would know in time whoever got here without the guards knowing. I'll talk to them as well, but first, we have to get on that Stephanie."Geraldine told her about Stephanie and about our issue way back in college which Stephanie brought up today. I wasn't surprised when she actually knew who was Stephanie. Accordin

CHAPTER 41
 Different smells from smoke, liquors, and expensive perfumes; party lights in hot pink, scarlet, green, blue, and yellow danced around; the loud stereo that was making the ground almost shake welcomed us the moment we entered Night Play, the bar where Stephanie usually goes for bar-hopping. Night Play wasn't my kind of place, hence I was uncomfortable at first.Thankfully, Len and Geraldine were here to accompany me. We have plotted a plan against Stephanie while in the car and we decided to let some time first after we arrived here before ruining Stephanie's night. Len pulled me to the bar where a bartender immediately came to serve us.Because they ordered Tequilla, that's what I ordered as well. When the bartender moved to serve our orders, I roamed my eyes around, observing the place and how people acted, so I could easily blend in. The people here seemed wild and free, they seemed to be out of their minds and just doing whatever they want.Dri

CHAPTER 42
 Caleb Craige'sI was emotionless as I watched them drink on the bar, men trying to get in their way but my private guards who were now in disguise were blocking them. Half of the guards, the ones who came with them were outside for standby, while half of them came with me when I decided to follow them here. After they left, I hastily went to our bed to change into casual clothes since I couldn't go here with my business suit still on.The damn press was still waiting for us outside the building and even a few meters away from the company building's entrance. But thankfully, they weren't as many as when we just got off the plane from Maldives. Maybe because it has been a day since they tried to get anything from us but nothing and I wasn't planning to give anything to them, anyway. It has been planned that Hazel and I will hold a press interview exclusively by Zamora News Agency, the interview was supposed to be today but I knew she was not yet ready. And

CHAPTER 43
 Caleb Craige'sEverything was red as I hastily walked down the dance floor where Hazel, her friend, and my cousin were enjoying dancing and seemed to be interested in hooking up with damn strangers. The party lights flashing different colors were gone and there was only scarlet around as I felt my blood boiling."Ouch!""Sorry,""Yow, bro, what's your problem?""Fuck you,"I wasn't looking at anyone as I strode through the crowded dance floor, making my way to the spot where Hazel was. I was pushing everyone just to get there as soon as possible, saying sorry whenever I would hear a woman's voice complain and a cursing whenever a man would complain. I could feel their dagger looks at my back but I wasn't giving any damn as my goal was to get to Hazel.When I finally reached the space where she was, the red I was seeing around me became intense as if the whole dance floor was painted with blood. And without any word or wh

CHAPTER 44
 Hazel Quin'sWe were having the best out of us, wild and free under the spell of alcohol, dancing without thinking of anything and anyone through the party lights flashing different shades of hue, and through the loud stereo blasting loud party music as everyone rocked with it. I was out of my mind, I knew that. But I wasn't giving a damn as I was enjoying, I was living one of the best and wild nights out of me.I didn't know what was happening anymore, I couldn't see Geraldine and Len anymore because we were moving around the dance floor as we danced with everyone. Even so, I didn't mind it and continued getting lost in Night Play.The night goes deeper and deeper until I was totally lost, then I felt hands touch my waist, and instantly, I knew it wasn't Caleb. I wasn't feeling anything even when the hand started moving up my body, unlike to Caleb's touches where I would instantly feel something, the connection, the bond connecting the two of us.

CHAPTER 45
 Caleb Craige's"I'm sorry, Caleb.""I'm sorry, mom.""I'm sorry for being a failure.""I'm sorry for ruining your life.""I'm sorry for being a mess."A sigh made its way out of my lungs as I laid Hazel on our bed. She was now asleep but she was talking and still apologizing, mumbling something every five minutes or so would pass. I stood straight and went to the bathroom to ready a basin, a water that came fresh from the faucet, and a towel to wipe her body.When I have everything that I needed for cleaning her, I walked into our walk-in closet to choose comfortable clothes for her. She didn't even have the chance to drink even just a glass of water because she fell asleep after crying for an hour while she was in my arms. She was blaming herself for what happened.But then, as I've told her, it was my choice to follow them there because I knew that whatever they did might backfire on them. It was also my choice

CHAPTER 46
 Caleb Craige'sIt was already late when I woke the next day from my deep slumber. Hazel was still sleeping beside me, I would understand if she would wake up late with her head spinning. The drink they had was probably still on her system right now, from her smell, I could say that they took Tequilla. It would pass as a strong drink for someone who's not used to drinking like Hazel. Then, if the bartender mixed something strong in the Tequilla, I wouldn't be surprised if she would vomit when she woke up.Kissing her forehead, I stepped out of the bed and headed to the bathroom to take a morning shower. And to make sure that I would wake up for real, I turned the shower cold and I shivered as the water poured on me, almost freezing me.A sigh of relief escaped my lungs when I was done dressing up for this day. The remnants of last night were gone and I knew a cup of black coffee would complete it. I was trying hard to forget the face of the bastard

CHAPTER 47
 Caleb Craige'sMirna smiled at my words, tears were pooling at the corner of her eyes. She sniffed to suppress them and took a deep breath, then stood up and poured herself a glass of water. After gulping it down, I was expecting that she would be back professional but I was surprised when she walked towards me and hugged me from the side.And because I was surprised, I was immobile for a while, didn't know what to do. Mirna was the type of person who doesn't show her affection too often especially with our setup, she rarely does this. But then after about two minutes, my arms moved to hug her back."Mirna, are you being soft now?" I joked which earned a chuckle and a playful slap from her at my arms."I'm still your strict assistant and aunt, Caleb. Just give me this time because I am glad that you are seeing things differently now and that you have a direction now. I guess I have to thank Hazel soon,""Thank me from what?"Ou

CHAPTER 48
 Hazel Quin's"You mean our interview would be scripted?""Not totally scripted, we would just choose what to tell the public while making sure it would satisfy them.""And how sure are you that it would work?"The smile on his lips then turned into a smirk, "Simply because that's what I've been doing for all these years now whenever the press is sticking their nose to my personal life."Instantly, questions started coming one by one in my head and each one needed to be answered out of curiosity and confusion. All of it has something to do with him and my previous plan— the ridiculous plan I had to learn to forget when we were in Maldives. And now, questions regarding that plan with what he said started bombarding my head.Questions that needed to be answered as per my journalism persona, my mouth and mind were dying to ask. But I wasn't just a journalist and I wasn't on duty now, I was a girlfriend who needed to respect h

CHAPTER 49
 "I like you the way you are when I met you. But if you have to be fierce and bolder to protect yourself, then so bet it, baby. I don't mind, you are still my beloved anyway. And if you need back up, your boyfriend is here, I'm just here, okay?"Those words brought a smile to my face. I was really lucky to have him, my decision to resign on CBNews and apply as his secretary was one of the best decisions I've made. Although it was because of my plan before, at least, it changed and now I am having the best of him, enjoying his love and everything that he could offer.Now, I was smiling alone in the living room as I read my journalism modules again. Caleb has gone into the company since he needed to attend to the workload waiting for him in Craige Inc. when we went to Maldives for our week vacation. He was packed with back-to-back meetings and documents to review and then we were scheduled to meet Mr. Zamora later for the press conference regarding our trend
