Chapter 45 Part 2 “I can’t believe this is happening! You did this didn’t you?” She looks at me and I just rolled my eyes as I drink my wine. “Why would I sabotage my image?” I said as I put down the wine glass. “I don’t even like being bothered by the media, not like you who wants attention and now that you’re getting it, you’re angry?” I’m in a dinner together with Dad, Ann, Pearl and Lauren and Ann is ranting about the rumor that has been spreading around the internet and blaming it all on me. “Ana, that’s enough.” Dad said that made me pout, I do have a point they just don’t want to admit that. I look at Lauren and Pearl who’s silently looking at us, and Pearl sig

Chapter 46 Part 2 “Did something happen? Why are you drinking again?” “I’m just happy.” I said and smirk at Ezra. He raised his brows and sit beside me and order himself a drink. “Tell me about it.” “First, I think this investigation is going somewhere. And lastly I think Pearl still loves James.” “You’re still hoping about being with Luke? After what you’ve been through.” “All of what happen was not his fault, Ez.” “You said you would finally move on for good. This is not healthy, and your drinking habit is not healthy. Plus, even if Pearl doesn’t love Luke how about Luke? He loves his wife… and not… never mind.

Chapter 48 Part 1I didn’t even realize that I close my eyes and that I was holding my breathe, it was just a peak but I felt so sinful. I pull away and look at him, he closed his eyes too but when I pull away he opened it and looks at me.I shake my head feeling nervous and seeing him panic made me more scared. “This is wrong.” I said in a whisper only intended to myself but he heard me, and I didn’t even realize that I was holding my lips. It felt so good that I forgot what was right and wrong, I became irrational and the thought of kissing him again excites me. “Fuck.” I whispered loudly and gather myself together and stood up. Luke was just looking at me the entire time… it made me concern but I shouldn’t so I begin to walk away without saying another word.“Wait.” I close my eyes tight as I stopped walking because of a force on my wrist to stop me.“Luke, just go home. GO home to your wife.”He ignore my statement and made me face him, he’s now holding both of my hands and my bro

Chapter 49  “I’m glad you came, I was nervous you won’t.” I chuckle as I hug Lauren… Mom. I’m still not used to calling her mom but I’ll get there. “Of course I would come, I feel sorry that I decline on Christmas.” “That’s okay, I don’t mind. I know that you have your way of celebrating these events.” I nodded and I can’t help but look at my surroundings. I’m fascinated by her house, it’s modern, simple but with a spark of elegance, it’s beautiful and it resonates her. She invited me to celebrate New Year with her family and at first I was hesitating because I don’t really know them that well and I hate to admit that I didn’t find anything about her children on the internet. She’s a private person a

Chapter 50 Part 2 “Why did you bring him here?” Ezra whispered angrily at me while looking at Luke who’s now talking to someone on the phone. “He’s Luke, Ez and he’s help us, he’s calling all the security that he can get.” He shake his head but later on nodded and before I knew it I’m now sitting on the van and listening to the plan, Ezra and Luke are the one talking and the two look so different as they plan it all out. I was so caught up by the shaking of my hands and nervousness that I didn’t realize that I had to bring all my money. I tug Ezra’s clothes and he looks at me annoyed as they stopped talking. “He wants my money, all of it.” I gulp and my tears began to fall. That made them all stopped.
