Chapter 131At the hotel roomTate took her from the restaurant earlier after the incident, and drove to the nearest hotel where he lodged a room for them so she could change her dress. "I'm sorry about earlier. I'll try to talk to Mom," he apologized to her after she walked out of the bathroom, clad in a white robe."It's fine. I'm glad I was able to let it off my chest. How was I back there? Was I cool?" Although she was broken and bittered deep inside, she managed to cover everything up with a smile."Yes, you were really cool, and I'm proud of you," he replied to her, and she smiled brightly."About my dress. Has it been washed yet?" She asked because the dress was taken away to the laundry as soon as they came into the hotel room."Oh, that? I guess they are still working on it. I already ordered a dress to be delivered here..." He paused and checked his wristwatch."They should be here any moment from now," he further said and stood up from the bed."You didn't have to order a

Chapter 133 "How're you feeling now?" Mason asked Knox as they stood side by side in the garden. Knox was still clad in the hospital wears since he hasn't been discharged yet. "I'm much better now. I'm sorry I haven't allowed you to have time for yourself lately. Everything is going to be over soon, and I'm forever indebted to you for everything you've done for me," He said to Mason. "Anything for my best friend. So, how's Aliyah? Is she completely healed now?" Mason asked him, and he nodded his head. "Yes. The wound is already closed, although she's still on medication. Also, the doctor asked us to come to the hospital biweekly to get her checked," He explained to Mason, and he nodded his head. "What about Tate?" Mason asked. "He has personal shits to deal with too, so he's taking some time off since Aliyah is here with me. I think his Dad's health is still deteriorating," He replied to Mason. "That's sad..." Mason commented and breathed out. "I spoke with Janice..." Mason sna

Chapter 135It was a beautiful and cozy evening. Aliyah had just walked out of the room from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her chest. Knox was already on the bed, wearing his robe as they were almost ready to go to bed."So, how did the meeting go?" She asked, sitting in front of the mirror."It went a bit well," he shrugged, and she raised her eyebrows, tilting her head to look at him confusingly."Lee said he's going to talk to her to turn herself in," he further explained, and she sighed briefly."I feel really sad for her. Nobody deserves to go through what she went through," She sighed sadly."Yeah, she has been through a lot. I feel sad for her, especially knowing what's going to happen later. Whether she turns herself in or not, she's going to jail for murder, and that alone breaks me. Her dad is to be blamed for all the shit that happened," He stated, and she sighed again."How do you plan to help her?" She asked him, rubbing oil on her body."I'm still trying to fig

Chapter 137The night was beautiful, so also Janice. She stood in front of her mirror, staring at her reflection, and wowed at the beautiful creature that was staring back at her from the mirror. The long purple glittery gown fitted her perfectly like it was tailored for only her. Her hair was falling freely down her shoulders with two braidings on each side, and some strands were falling on each side of her face. She had a little make-up on her face, a diamond necklace around her neck, and diamond earrings in her ear each. She was having a date with Lee, within the house, actually.She breathed out, tears brimming in her eyes as she stared at her reflection. How much pain she needed to hold in and pretend to be fine when she was dying inside. It hurts that she was trying to hold the remaining pieces of herself together when it was clearly not working for her. Everything sucks. "Everything is going to be fine," she whispered to herself even though she knew she was lying to herself. No

Chapter 139Aliyah checked herself out in the mirror and smiled at her reflection. She was getting ready for a dinner date at the cinema with Knox, and she couldn't help the excitement that filled her heart. It has been a while since she last tried it, and it felt like a dream was going to finally come true now. Cladded in a white hooded oversized baggy tracksuit and a pair of white sneakers, she looked gorgeous, especially with her hair packed in a ponytail and a face cap on her head. She was everything beautiful."I look great," she winked at her reflection, then took her phone and finally walked out of the room, heading to the living room where Knox was probably waiting for him by now."Oh, my goodness. My heart just fluttered," Knox covered his mouth in admiration as he watched her descend the staircase, and she blushed. The way he always admires and admits it is always sexy."You are so gorgeous," he cupped his cheeks in his palms and said to her, making her blush."Thank you. You
