Alessia's POV It didn't take much time before we got to Patrick's home and if I must admit a torturous ride for me. Patrick made sure I didn't have much breathing space away from him, he touched me all through the ride. Placing wet kisses on my hands. Saying that it irked me so much was an understatement. I really can't seem to place a reason why everything with him seems so uncomfortable now and I refuse to admit it's for a certain someone. Keeping my face bright, we got off the car and entered the house. Patrick's parents Carla and Ryan were at the door to welcome us. "Oh my darling, you look stunning." Carla complimented. Ryan chuckled, "just like I had envisioned, you both look perfect together." I smiled tightly trying to keep my eyes from rolling off into their sockets. Patrick all the while stood still smiling like a Cheshire cat. We got ushered into the house and straight to the dining table. The whole table was set and looks overfilled, might as well call the whole nei

Alessia's POV A burst of rage spread through my insides as I dropped off Allen's car. This would be the first time I would go to bed angry and still wake up mad at everyone. I couldn't believe Patrick's audacity to think he can harrass me whenever he can. I don't blame him though, my mum and the rest of the family have given him so much leverage. The Buffon thinks he owns me. "Don't take that steam into the school premises Alessia. You look like a raging bull." Allen called out from the driver's side. "Mind your business sucker!" I glared at him. Bringing out my phone, I typed hurriedly on it. Sent a message to Patrick to meet me at the car park. I had intentionally begged Allen to bring me to school really early, to avoid having no choice but to get into Patrick's car when he comes horning this morning. To my surprise, Allen who hardly does anything for anyone didn't argue with me. Instead, he got dressed early and was waiting out for me by the time I got down. Today must reall

Collin's POVThe soda Alessia has in hand definitely has been spiked or probably got mixed with alcohol. How we went from me assuring her about her family's love for her, to her professing love to me surpassed me.An awkward laugh escaped my lips, "what did you say?" I inquiredHer mouth was wide agape for a while, before she close them back up. "Oh please don't mind me. Was just a slip of the tongue." She laughed out a bit too loudly."Okay." I smiled back at her.The apartment looks really nice and simple, nothing felt too much or out of place. They were just the perfect fit. I would love to stay in a space like this, to cap it all it's kind of serene for the environment the building is located in. The only faint noise you would hear is the passing of cars. "Now I guess it's time to ask my own questions." Alessia smiled, she has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. "So sorry for my outburst the other time.""It's all good. Tell me what would you like to know?" "Just want to

Collin's POVSince I had no bicycle or car to ride. I did the ninja style run through the streets to get to the park. Luckily, I can really run around as fast as flash could go. Probably not like flash but averagely like flash whatever that means. I almost threw an excited punch in the air when I realized that I arrived early before Ashley. The last thing I want is to look unreliable by keeping her waiting. I was short of breath when I sat on the stone chair made for seating in the park. I felt a cold bottle of water caress my cheek."Did you run all the way here?" Ashley asked as she handed the water to me.I swallowed the whole bottle content before responding to her. "Thank you so much." I said gasping for breath.Shaking her head, Ashley sat next to me. "why in the world did you run here when you could have taken a taxi or something."I shrugged meaning into the chair as I threw my head back. "That would have been a waste of money. The park is the closest to my house aside school

Alessia's POVThere is a common trait in the Winters household, the moment everyone has had dinner you wouldn't see any family member in sight any longer except for the workers. Everyone is either locked up in their room retired for the night or doing whatever it is that keeps them away from the large living room. It's no surprise that everywhere was quiet when I walked down the stairs with Cara. What I saw in the kitchen was the last thing I expected to bump into. The moment Cara put on the light, Allen yelped from the kitchen island he sat on pouring the content of the glass he had in hand on himself."Shit! What the hell Cara?" Allen bellowed, sending death glares towards the both of us."Are you a child of the dark night? How can you stay in the dark all alone drinking." Cara rebuked, picking up a pea from the bowl near her and threw it at him. He did dodge it though.I was more amused by the scene. It never occured to me that Allen drinks, seeing him refill his mini glass and gu
