"Hey.""Hey.""It's been long and I know my call came out of nowhere."Elena nodded. "Indeed it did. Wasn't expecting it.""I've been feeling guilty, Elena. That's why I couldn't call."Elena sighed. "I understand the part of you unable to help me, Emily, it's the fact that you didn't call. It's like you just vanished out of my life."Emily nodded. "I know. It's just...whenever I ask for your help, you're always there for me but when you came to me, all I could do was turn you down, I just...I felt devastated. Like I couldn't show myself to you."Elena shook her head at her friend's way of thinking.Emily Wyatt was her best friend from school. They went to the same college, studied different courses, and became friends with Evan, and even though they weren't all that rich, just being together as friends made them happy.Emily wasn't able to help her due to financial circumstances and she understood. Her parents wouldn't be able to help her, especially since she was a pregnant woman.N

On her way out of the restaurant, Elena spotted a guy who seemed to be trying to make her stop in her tracks. He was handsome with low beards and it did make her stop walking as she turned to him in confusion."Hi." The man said in between breaths.Elena nodded. "Hi. Can I help you?"The man smiled. "I'm Gregory, what's your name?""Elena." She replied giving the man a small smile.Gregory nodded. "I've been... I've been trying to talk to you one-on-one but you seem always busy and hard to approach.""Why do you want to approach me?" Elena asked with puckered forehead.Greg chuckled. "Isn't that obvious? You're a very beautiful woman. I know it could feel somehow to you but if you don't mind, can we be friends?"Elena wanted to open her mouth to talk, but..."You can't." She suddenly heard. She sighed at the familiar voice which was confirming that Alex has arrived.Alex walked closer to them, standing beside Elena and in front of the guy. "Go find another woman to woo."Greg scoffed.

After coming out of the captain's office, Liam walked toward his desk to see his partner completely focused on whatever she was looking at. He got curious and dragged the paper toward his side. "What are you looking at?""No." She immediately stopped it from moving further. "It's just something." She said, trying to cover the content on it.Liam's eyes met something familiar. He removed her hand and raised it to look at it. His brows were furrowed at the content on it, then he stared at her. "How did you come across this?"She shook her head, lowering it. "It's nothing."He dropped it back on the table and tilted his head at her. "Emily, how did you come across it?" He repeated.She gulped and looked at him. "It's just... I'm... I'm only helping a friend." She confessed. "She was wrongly accused of infidelity, it cost her her marriage but she was innocent.""Is this friend Elena Miller?"She gaped. "How did you know that?"Liam nodded. "Why wouldn't I? I have a friend named Alexander

Emily sighed, getting frustrated since she hasn't been able to find anything suspecting about Fiona. She kept someone on her tail to give her updates on where exactly Fiona goes apart from work and all she could get was the mall, grocery stores, convenience stores, and a bar, although she was told she frequented the bar at exactly four, so now she's outside her boutique shop waiting for when Fiona comes out so she can know who or what she always does in a bar.As she patiently waited for Fiona to come out, Alas she did. She made sure she was out of sight and watched as Fiona got into her car and drove off. Then she started her engine and followed covertly.They drove passed intersections til they got to very busy street where things are sold, and people walking around, it was noisy.They drove at a slow pace and cornered left, then Fiona pulled the car into a curb. She looked around causing Emily to bend out of sight and she watched as Fiona walked into an alleyway.She put her face c

Elena woke up to another brand new day. Her eyes met the blinds of the window still closed, but there was still sun streaming a bit out of it. She sat up from the bed, looking at the time. It was eight in the morning.She sighed, knowing Alex already left for work again, taking the kids with him to their new school. Thankfully, those kids haven't caused any problems whatsoever.These days she's been finding it hard to catch him going to work, although he says he wakes her up before he goes but she just never remembers and she hated it.The doorknob clicked, causing her heart to skip a beat, then her brow raised as she saw Alex walking in with his face focused on his phone. He was dressed casually. White T-shirt and black trousers. It confused her.He looked away from his phone to see she was finally awake. "Hey, sleepy head. Good morning." He greeted her with a smile on his face and sat on the bed, facing her. "How was your sleep? I bet it was fine.""You're not dressed for work today
