Keeion’s POVI didn’t even wait for Sydney to speak on the other line. I dropped this call after I said my decision. Maybe she's smiling now because she's got the answer she wants from me. This is exactly what she has always wanted. Now that she has figured out a way to make what she wants easier, this is what she does to me. I’m aware that she’s manipulating me. She uses what she knows to get me. She knows as much as this is my weakness at these times and there is a good chance I will give in to her. What she was planning has already happened.I sighed and put the cellphone down on the bed. I went to the glass window of the bedroom to view the quiet night city where we were. Massive buildings can be seen from below and bright shops that are open 24/7. I stayed there for a few minutes to calm down and be able to think clearly.I don’t like what Sydney is doing to me. I don’t want to do the things she makes me do. But for the sake of clearing my name and saving the credibility of the c

Ellie’s POV"What are you doing here?" There was a tremor in his voice.Sydney's reaction was startled when she turned to see me. Her eyes widened in shock so she stood up at the same time. She was holding the back of the chair while looking at me.Even its companion could not believe that they were facing me now. They never thought I would catch them here. That in the crowd, they will still see me in this restaurant. Well, I was also surprised. We were both just surprised. After all, I should have been the most surprised of them.I mean, they really have a connection. The reaction of the two of them was not normal. If they have nothing to hide, this is not how they will act. They shouldn't be surprised or even apprehensive even though I've learned from them. Why are they nervous if they have nothing to hide, right? No matter who catches them they know, that’s just nothing. They just prove that my guess is true.“I should be asking you that, Sydney. What are you doing here?” My gaze f

Keeion’s POV“Ellie is in danger right now. If you want to go to her, this is the exact address where she is now. Hurry up because she is in danger.”I stood up in shock and nervousness that I felt after I read the text message from the unknown number. That person just texted and I immediately read it because I was currently holding my cell phone."Keeion, is there a problem?" Tedson asked.Even he was shocked at my attitude. We were currently talking about the company’s operations so it surprised me when I suddenly stood up."Someone messaged me," I said.I don’t know if I’ll believe it right away. This came from an unknown number and messages are widespread today that if not scams or chain messages are pure threats."Oh, what did that person say?" he inquired after he closed the folder it held. He first stopped reporting to me to find out what message I had received."Ellie is in danger right now."He frowned. "What?" he asked aloud. “Who said that? How is Ellie in danger, didn’t yo

Ellie’s POV“Ellie, can you come home first? You need some rest. The other day you were here, you didn’t get enough sleep. Come with me now.”I was taken aback when Arya tapped me on the shoulder. She was carrying a large bag in which were placed the clothes we used yesterday and today. It's already seven o'clock in the evening and it looks like she's going home to Keeion's condo to get things back the next day. This was also her routine the other day, the first day Keeion was in the hospital.I sat up straight and faced it. “I'm fine, Arya. I'm just here next to Keeion until he wakes up.”"Are you sure? We will take care of you if something bad happens to you. Keeion will definitely not like it if you feel bad when he wakes up.”I smiled to let her know I was fine. "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to me."“Oh, okay. I'll go home first, huh? I'll just come back tomorrow and maybe Tedson will come here later so you still have someone with you.”I just nodded.I followed Arya's gaz
