Chapter 72 "Are you kidding me? Who does that, man? You went to confess your feelings to her, just like that?" Mason shrieked as his eyes narrowed at Knox's silly attitude. "What the fuck were you thinking? You think she would just jump up and be like, yeah, he is remorseful and wants me back now. Man, this is crazy," Mason lamented for the second time, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes sarcastically. "Come on, Man. You are making me lose hope, trust me. It's not that deep. Alright, I know this is crazy but trust me, man... I know what I'm doing..." "Oh, you don't, Knox. What are you even saying? You have not even taken care of Nina yet, and you are confessing your love to her? What if she agrees to come back to your life? What about Nina? Do you think that young lady would want to leave for another woman to come in?" Mason asked, and he sighed briefly as he reclined on the couch. "Ugh! Can you stop messing up with my head, man? It's driving me nuts. Just

Chapter 74 The sound of Aliyah's blaring alarm pulled her out of her deep slumber, and she groaned tiredly as she touched her forehead before she forced her eyes open. Her body felt tired that she could barely move a finger, but that only lasted for a few minutes before she was able to get herself out of the bed and strode into the bathroom where she did her usual morning routine of brushing her teeth, having her bathe, and doing every other necessary things. As she walks back into her room minutes after she was done bathing, she sighed frustratingly upon realizing that she was the only one now living in the house. She badly wanted to move in to live with her dad at this stage of her life, but then, she was avoiding drama with Lisa even though the woman didn't have anything negative against her. Pushing all the thoughts to the back of her mind, she dragged herself to the closet where she picked out some clothes and proceeded to her skincare routine, after which she got

Chapter 76 "Are you kidding me, Dad?" She scoffed angrily as she sprang up to her feet while looking at the man unbelievably. "I am not, dear. You need to do this. I know you are mad at him, and I understand how you feel, but still, you need him now. You can't possibly get someone else to do this for you, and you know it," Mr. Arnaldo tried to convince her, and she sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair frustratingly. It was unbelievable that her dad was trying to talk her into going back to Knox, who treated her like a piece of trash, and knowing it wasn't something she could avoid was driving her nuts. "Dad, do you have any idea how he has treated me? Do you know the pain I've been through while I was with him?" She reminded him, and he sighed as he stood up and held her hands. "Come on, baby. I understand how you feel, ok? I wouldn't have allowed this if we have any other choice, but we don't. I can't keep watching you wallow in pain like this. If it's r

Chapter 78 Tate was sitting along the hallway of the hospital while burying his head between his palms as many thoughts ran through his mind. Taking over the company was the last thing on his mind because it wasn't what he ever wanted, but then, it seemed like he didn't have any choice at this point now. He was torn between chasing his initial dream and doing his Dad's last wish now. The man had just a few more months to live, and he should do something that will make him smile in his last days, right? "Ugh! Why is this happening to me?" He mumbled and scoffed as he finally raised his gaze. His eyes were red and puffy since he hadn't gotten enough sleep in the last two days now. Taking a deep breath, he stood up to leave the hallway, but stopped on his track when he turned and found Aliyah standing there and staring at him. His heart dropped as he stared back at her. "Ali... yah..." His voice broke as he blinked his eyes to be sure that he wasn't hallucinating, and

Chapter 80 He stared intensely into her eyes before he finally covered the distance between them, as he claimed her lips. His heart stopped beating for seconds as he waited to get used to her soft lips after so many months. Since they weren't so close in the past, they never got to kiss like this, so he never knew what her lips tasted like. The kiss was slow, but intense, leaving each of them breathless as they explored each other's lips. "I'm going to take my time... Permit me just this one," he pulled away from her and whispered against her ear before he swept her off her feet without even giving her time to reply to him. Slowly, he lowered her to the bed, his eyes feasting on her naked body since the towel has left her body now. Now that he got all the time in the world to stare at her, he couldn't help but notice the beauty he never noticed all those times they were together. He was such a stupid man for running after other women when he had this beauty goddess at
