"Come on, Gwen. It's going to be fun. This night club is super popular right now. Every big shot and celebrity has been going there lately," Stephanie tried to convince a twenty year old Gwen to join her. "Who knows? Maybe you meet someone that helps you with your modeling career," she continued, trying to persuade her friend. "Or even a cute guy to make out with."Gwen considered that. It wouldn't hurt to go out for one night to have some fun. She wasn't much of a party girl, but she was young and single, so why not? Maybe she could meet someone nice. She was already a model with a burgeoning career; she had a contract with a cosmetic company and was getting a lot of jobs lately. But it would be great to meet new people."Fine," she said, giving in to Stephanie's request.When they arrived at the night club, Gwen could see that her friend was telling the truth. The place was filled with celebrities and important people, and she didn't even know how Stephanie managed to get both of the

Gwen decided to end the conversation with Finn. She had nothing else to say to him, so she simply left the documents on his table and left the room, feeling awful. And he didn't try to stop her.A massive headache made Gwen feel even worse, and when it was time for the lunch break, she almost cried of relief. She could leave at least for an hour and get some fresh air. While waiting for the elevator, Gwen started to analyze the conversation with Finn again. Why did he have to say all those things to her? Why did it still matter so much to him? Could it be that he was still in love with her?But Gwen shook her head right after thinking that. It was an absurd. The door to the elevator opened and she entered without paying attention. And with that, she bumped into someone. Again."I'm so sorry," she said, looking at the stranger's face. And then, she realized that the person standing in front of her was the man from the bar from the previous day."I know you!" he said, widening his smile

Gwen was huffing like a dragon when she got back inside her apartment. If it was humanly possible, she would have smoke coming out of her nostrils. How could Finn think he could tell her what to do? She had every right to go out with whomever she wanted. Now, the first guy that showed interest in her is coincidentally his enemy? What a joke.She called Stephanie immediately to tell her friend what had just happened. Gwen hated to bring her to every situation she got herself into with Finn, but she had no one else at the moment."What? I can't believe that jerk said that to you!" Stephanie said, completely astonished. "Hell yes you're going to this dinner. I'll go to your apartment to stay with Cody. Don't worry.""But what about your appointment?" Gwen asked, worried."I'll reschedule it," Stephanie explained."No, you're not. I don't want to bother you with my problems, seriously. It's not necessary, Steph," Gwen uttered, upset for messing up with her friend's plans."Gwen, it's fine

Gwen tried to swallow, her mouth suddenly dry. She saw that coming. Of course she knew what he was going to suggest, she wasn't stupid.A split of second was enough for her to make a decision. She was tired of overthinking every single choice she had to make in her life. She should enjoy the chance she had to do something crazy for once, since the last five years have been spent being a good mother to Cody.All the things she watched young people do, she wasn't able to have. She loved Cody more than her own life, and she didn't regret anything related to him, but now life was presenting new opportunities to her, and she had no reason to deny."Okay," she agreed in a low voice. Gwen suddenly felt shy, and was certain that her cheeks were blushing, heat spreading from her cheeks down to her chest. Clyde didn't seem to have noticed, and if he did, he didn't care, because he continued to drive with a relaxed and cheerful expression on his face. Gwen was left more speechless once his car e

Gwen sneered, incredulous."So I wasn't wrong," she whispered to herself. Her legs gave in for a minute, and she had to sit. Her entire body was trembling now, and Finn was looking at her without understanding anything."What are you talking about?" he asked, trying to help her to sit, but Gwen shoved him away."Don't touch me!" she screamed.All her memories from that time came back like an avalanche inside her brain. She was trying to make sense of everything, but it was being very hard."Can you tell me what's going on?" Finn raised his voice, frustrated. It was clear from his face that he wasn't following anything and was nervous about her sudden anger. She almost felt pity for him, but the images inside her head were stronger than that feeling."So Vivienne has been your fiancée this entire time. She was the one engaged to you when we met, right?" Gwen asked, still trying to put the pieces together."We broke up on the day I met you. I told you that back then. So what's the big s
