Erika's POV"What's wrong with your friend? Why left already? I just prepare him a food," mother said, I looked to the tray she's carrying and take it. "He already left, mom. Asher had a job to done and his boss will get mad of him," I answered. I place down the tray to the coffee table, and then pull her to seat. After all the odd we experience in one month, maybe it's time for her to know what's the truth. The truth I've been keeping from her and terrified to open the conversation."You look stressed; what's wrong?" She checked my forehead, and I can see how worried she was for me.Mom is my best friend, and she always knows when something is wrong. Even though I didn't tell her what the problem was, she could sense the worry in my voice when I called her earlier, and it bothers me that she can always tell when I'm stressed, even when I don't say a word.She became involved in my problems real quick and immediately suggested solutions and ways to make me feel better. We're not clo

Patricia's POV"You're not welcome here," that's all I stated after opening the door and reveal me the man I despised.He was looking at me with blank expression and no any signs of happiness or sadness through his eye, which made my heart ache but not in pain. It aches because or raged that rushing through my veins. But my sharp gaze didn't affect him, he pushed the door and head inside without my invitation. That is why I immediately close the door, and followed him inside to stop. "I told you, Grayson. You're no longer welcome and should've get my permission before entering," I am desperate the halt him from entering my life again, and whatever he's plan has to be ended. "Maybe you forgot, Patricia. This house bought by my father's money which means I have the right to enter this premises whenever I wanted to," he said which is not surprising to me. "Fine. You own this house, so what? Your father is my mother's husband, he gave this house to her as their wedding gift. Which mea

Nicholas's POVI am patiently waiting to their living room because Patricia is taking a shower according to her mom. She welcome and let me wait inside, even though I can sense this is not a good idea after all. Patricia rejected my help, and sided to the man because she was hurt by Grayson. It must be her revenge. "Here's some water while waiting for my daughter and I hope you have a long patience," Priscilla said."Thanks and yes. I can wait until she's finish."She seated on the opposite chair and said, "You're a good man, Nick. I am thankful because despite my daughter's stubbornness, you came back to change her heart. All of a sudden, I felt relieved.""Don't be, Priscilla. As long as she's trying to keep the facts with her, we're not safe yet. Did you even force her to speak or maybe comfort her?" I said.Priscilla shook her head slowly, "She's depress and giving her enough space to think everything but as I've said, she's getting stresser."I sighed and start losing my remaini

Grayson's POV "Where's Erika? Did she left already?" Asher asked and seated down. "Do you still see her?" I answered. "Psh, so sarcastic. Nicholas still not coming home. I guess he wanted to stay with Patricia until she tell him everything.""Let him be. That's his choice, not us."I close the book that I'm reading and leaned back in my chair, this is the most frustrating day in my life and getting mad at Erika wasn't part of my plan. It wasn't planned, but she disobey me and now I have think a plan how to pay for my bad behavior.Gerald is like a catastrophe, like a hurricane which give enough frustration to me. I should've shot him several times until he's out of breath, but I doesn't thought of other possibilities before leaving him in that place. I should've came back and shoot him on his chest until he died. "What are you thinking?" Asher questioned. "Nothing. Just some thoughts about my mistakes. I shouldn't have carelessly think he's going to rotten on that place, and shou

Grayson's POVThey bring Patricia's body out of the house and the cops begin checking the house to find every useful clues left by her or maybe a suspect who is behind her death. I looked at the corner when heard Priscilla's cries, she's devastated and the cops can't talked to her properly. They couldn't interview her because of that.
