He walked around the bar, which was beaming with loud music and dim blue light, but couldn't find her anywhere. At some point, he contemplated going back home and telling Ivy that he couldn't find Gina, but the thought of her reaction alone scared him. After a futile attempt to find her, he decided to go outside the club in search of her. Upon getting outside the club, he heard a familiar voice that made him stop to have a look. His eyes were caught with Gina, who was lying on the garden bench."Why are you still here? You should be home by now," Gina asked drowsily as she struggled to take off her scoat."What are you doing here?" he asked tiredly as he heaved a sigh of relief upon finding her."I want to have some sleep, get lost," Gina mumbled, finally taking off her coat."You can't sleep here; let's go back home," he requested even though he knew it was all a waste of time as she was already drunk and wouldn't respond."You're not the boss of me; I can sleep wherever I want," Gin

She huddled behind a tree for coverage as her heart began racing really fast. Gina was still hiding behind the tree as she tried to nurse her injury when she felt water droplets on her head. She looked up, and her eyes were met with sharp fangs over her head and the face of an angry werewolf with dark eyes. She got a panic attack merely seeing its face. She placed both hands over her head to shield herself as she waited for the angry animal to devour her, but a black werewolf came out of nowhere, pushing the brown werewolf away from her and throwing it off its feet. Gina peered at them behind the tree as she watched the two werewolves fight to the death. The black werewolf turned out to be a lot stronger than the brown werewolf as it pinned its head against the soil but suddenly let go, leaving it to escape into the woods. The black werewolf stood from a distance as it stared at Gina, who was too shocked to think of running. She hid behind the tree, covering her face with her palm as

Gina's breath hitched, her eyes searching his face for a glimpse of emotion. But all she found was a flicker, a fleeting warmth hidden beneath the cold exterior.The spell was broken as Ralph gently released his hold, allowing Gina to regain her balance. His features reverted to their impassive state, as if nothing out of the ordinary had transpired.Gina, her heart still racing, offered a small understanding smile. She didn't need words to convey her gratitude for his support. She knew that beneath his icy facade, he had shown a rare vulnerability.“that was an epic fail” ralph muttered breaking the awkward silence, with his left hand still resting on her waist slightly and his eyes fixed on her. Gina’s eyes darted towards a young couple who seemed so engrossed in the dance, probably being too extra as they were dancing and spinning each other with every ounce of strength in them. The man pulled the lady in a romantic way which came out a bit too aggressive to be called “romantic” an

"I want this," Zayn whined, pointing at a pair of white Jordans inside a glass display case.Gina walked over to the display case to check the price tag. A silent gasp escaped her lips when she saw the price – $20,000 for a pair of ordinary kids' sneakers. She took a few steps back towards Ivy and whispered to her, "Are you sure about this store? Everything is crazily expensive here. Maybe we should go somewhere else where they sell affordable items.""Don't tell me you already feel sorry for him? Don't worry, he can definitely pay for everything. Besides, it is only a few thousand dollars. Our shopping target is $500,000 or...," Ivy replied with a wink."Wait, what!? $500,000? Are you serious right now? That's a lot. How do you expect me to pick items that cost so much?" Gina whispered in shock."What do you think I meant when I said 'you're going to be leaving him bankrupt'? Besides, the debit card has no limit, so step aside, chicken!" Ivy said with an eye roll as she made her way

Gina's request to go to Florida to find her mom left Ivy and Ralph surprised, but they understood the significance of the journey for Gina. Ivy decided to stay back and take care of Zayn and asked Ralph to accompany Gina for some reason.The next week, Gina and Ralph stood outside their house, ready to embark on their journey to Florida. They had packed a few essentials, including the old journal and the photos they found in the box as they loaded their bags into a white pickup car.“you bought a car” gina asked folding her cold hands inside her jacket“i did” ralph answered putting his luggage and gina’s luggage in the trunk“you never told me” gina muttered, not surprised as how he randomly buys expensive property“how? you’ve been avoiding me for the past few” ralph said to her with a final glance as he closed the trunk and walked over to the driver’s seat“can you drive?” gina asked in shock“no, i’m on a mission to get us both killed” ralph answered sarcastically while gina rolle
