In the end, Gryphon didn’t show up at the event at all. Andrea knew that he was there minutes earlier before it started, but not even seeing a shadow of him there made her wonder. Moreover, Parker had spoken of something strange. That mother only had a few fears, and so she was sure that Parker knew that disturbing Gryphon’s phone call was bad for the company.It’s just that she waited for him at the event hall for the next two hours. Almost everyone else had gone home, but Ashley and Sammy continued to wait with her. They were just sitting at the side while the egress of the event was underway.With a hotdog sandwich wrapped in the expensive paper of the restaurant in the hotel, Andrea watched the grand showcase get torn down piece by piece. It was like she was staring at her fantasy life being ripped apart now that the show was over. Gryphon

Seconds turned into hours, and soon, the launch was already weeks away. Andrea could notice how Gryphon was rarely going home, only to shove himself against her in the morning when he did. Unlike the last few days of their honeymoon, they barely slept together—not to mention be in the same bed. On days that Gryphon refused to leave the house, he would stick to the bed all day.The soft lock of the study clicked as Andrea opened the door with a twist. She was supposed to let the cleaning robot vacuum the floor, while she dusted the surface. However, what she saw on the couch was a sleeping Gryphon. He had his arm on his eyes, forcing himself to rest while the lights were on. It’s also noticeable how the computer played its screen saver as if it was unattended for a while now.Andrea only placed and turned on the round cleaning robot on the floor. She

Field day… It was a field day for the media people waiting outside the function rooms for anything interesting. After all, they were all waiting for the guests coming and those who would show up very late to the party. However, lo and behold, what they caught in action was nothing anyone in their ranks would imagine happening on this very day.Roxanne Cromwell, a prominent name in their city, was arrested for possession with the intent to sell. She was caught keeping the supply inside one place that no one would suspect as her transaction place. When she was brought to the lobby, she was hiding underneath a police officer’s jacket. She didn’t want to be arrested while wearing almost nothing, but she was not allowed to take minutes to get clothed.Then again, the police were sensible about this. They kept the cameras off her as much as they co

The sunlight she saw when she left the Dawson Villa already ran out. Her eyes were now looking out the darkening night sky that slowly descended into the city. In a few more minutes, the whole place would be completely devoured by it. However, Andrea didn’t mind; her world already succumbed to the abyss, and all that was left were bittersweet memories.Soon enough, Andrea got off her stop. She took the pre-packed luggage for her and walked around to the apartment that should belong to her for a few weeks. Along with it came a new name and identity that she should get used to.Her hair was hidden underneath a beanie that had fake hair framing her face. She had a facemask on, simulating a sickness that kept people from getting too close. Her eyes were also obscured by fashion glasses that looked like prescription ones. The shapely body was also hidden under

“Gabby! Gabby, wake up!”She roused into the sound of a male voice, but the sound that she thought it had wasn’t the one that continued to ring out. Andrea opened her eyes and saw an older man looking down at her. An older woman was at her side, seemingly paler even if she had a tan complexion.After staring at them for a few seconds, Andrea began to remember where she was supposed to be and how she found herself there. She sat up and held her head with a hand, raking her fingers through the digitally permed dark-brown dyed hair that only reached her chin. When she brought her hand down, she smiled at the two people with her.“Thank you, Tommy, Marlene. I really appreciate you helping me tonight.” Andrea then looked down at herself. She was still wearing her work apron that had a hand-s
