All Chapters of One Way: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Neither me, nor my family have anything to do with what happened. You have to trust me!” Raiden scoffed loudly, making sure that the girl noticed his reaction of disbelief. Trusting her was the last thing he would do. He could not put his faith in someone who claimed to be the daughter of a criminal. “Give me one reason why I should trust you.” “You are the only person who knows who I am. No one is aware of the fact that Byron chase has a daughter except for you. I am not lying, you are the only one who can help me, please.” Stephanie begged. She did not care if she sounded desperate. Maybe because she really was. She wanted to get away from Britney, from their house, from the place where she was kept like a prisoner for years. Raiden Kingston was an influential person. The main motive why she revealed herself to him was to make him trust her. Only then would he agree to be on her side. But of course it wasn’t easy to convince him. He was the sharpes

    "Yes Ms. Blair, I am pretty sure I have tried everything. No one has seen her for days." Wan informed .   "Ok but don't stop looking and report me every littlest detail." Blair pressed the disconnect button and continued stirring the bone marrow soup which she was cooking for Calvin.   With passing days, she had became more and more skilled in household work. She could go grocery shopping alone and not come back with wrong ingredients. Her knife skills got visibility better. She did not cut herself every minute and did not leave the food in oven for extra 30 minutes. Did not need YouTube to guide her through the kitchen and did not have to raid the whole place to find salt.   Calvin was greatly impressed by how much better she had gotten. Since he was not able to help around much but you always try to assist her with small tasks arranging her papers and making the bed.  

"A fancy restaurant?"   "That's too boring."   "An amusement park?"   "Too noisy."   "Camping under the stars? That will be so romantic!" Blair gushed tapping Calvin's shoulder. He laughed and held her hand tightly and continue to drive with one hand. She was trying hard to guess where he was taking her for their date but till now, none of her guesses received a blue tick from him.    "I did think of that but the mosquitoes made me drop the idea." He admitted with a chuckle.   Blair sighed. No matter how much she is strained her brain, she was not able to figure out his secret date plan. She leaned back on the passenger seat and pouted. She looked so cute with puckered lips and puffed out checks, he wanted to grab and kiss her senseless then and there but he ended up just ruffling her hair.   "Don't trouble your pretty little head to

Blair smiled when she saw Calvin in the kitchen. He was making something. She quietly tiptoed towards him, being very discreet, trying not to make any noise.   Calvin was about to flip his pancake when he felt someone hugging him from behind. Blair wrapped her arms around his torso and rested her head on his back.   "Well, this is new." He chuckled. She wasn't the type of person who would show much physical affection. Not because she did not like it, but because she was shy. She always got an adorable blush crawling up on her face whenever they were close and he loved to see her like that.   "I missed this so much." She whispered, still holding him tight.   "Missed this? You mean hugging me? You sound very different from my Blair." He finally flipped the pancake which was just seconds away from being burnt. He smiled to himself since he was pretty sure he had succeeded in making her blush. &n

Jessica had some questions. She sat in the living room and waited for Raiden to arrive. It was almost midnight but he still had not returned. His phone was off too. It wasn't new for him to work till late so she wasn't worried much. She just wanted answers.   "Why are you calling my brother?" After that, Stephanie had cut the call. Jessica never got to know what business she had with Raiden nor did she get a chance to ask him about it. She was determined to get her answers.   Raiden entered the house with his head hanging low. He seemed different. His usual, straight and uptight way of walking had changed into a slouched posture. He put his bag on the table and begin to walk upstairs. Jessica didn't fail to notice his unusual behavior. He never left his bag here and there since it contained many important documents.   "Raiden, we need to talk."    He cleared his throat. "Can we talk later? I am
