The room hung heavy with tension as Regina and Hills remained in their respective positions, an unspoken rift dividing them. The silence between them was palpable, each lost in their own thoughts and emotions.As Regina lay with eyes barely closed, Hills couldn't help but steal glances at her. He noticed her feigned slumber, a facade she had erected to avoid interaction with him. Hills, unable to contain himself any longer, broke the silence. "Having trouble sleeping, Regina?"Regina, keeping her eyes shut, responded curtly. "Can't you see that I'm sleeping? Or are you blind?"Hills sighed, his voice filled with understanding. "No, Regina. I'm not blind. I can see quite clearly that you're pretending to be asleep."Regina let out an exasperated sigh, rolling her eyes in frustration. "What do you want, Hills? Can't you just leave me alone? I can't stand the thought of being in the same room as you, let alone sleep close to you."Hills fell silent, contemplating Regina's words. After

For five days, Regina wasn't herself anymore. She couldn't bring herself to call Hills because she felt really ashamed of everything she have done. She couldn't believe Hills meant every word he said at the hospital, that he was going to give her the space she need. Could that be it? Did he really mean to give her that? Does that mean he has broken up with her already? Regina was clearly devasted when Hills did not call or come to check up on her. She misses him but heck! it's all her fault he's not coming for her.These past few days , she kept staring down at her phone hoping that he'd at least call but to her disappointment, her phone never beeped with Hills name on it.Several times, Regina kept thinking of calling him instead but that isn't a good idea... What would she say if she calls him? How would she even put it?Just yesterday, Regina tried to ask Daphne about Hills and why he hasn't come to the apartment all this while and Daphne said nothing and that he only called to a

"Goodness!! I'm glad you're back home Regina! I was just about to call you" Daphne Said as she opened the door wide for Regina to step in.Regina looked around, then stare at Daphne with a frown."What happened? is there a problem?" Regina asked."I think there is Regina. Mira has been behaving kinda weird since last night she returned from school. You were with Hills and it was just me and her. it's like she's the complete opposite of herself""What do you mean?""Mira refused to have dinner last night and said she wasn't hungry. Then just few minutes ago, I asked her to have breakfast but she refused and was blatantly rude to me. Mirabelle has never behaved that way towards me before and I wonder where she got that attitude from""No Daphne, not my Mirabelle. She can be rude to you" Regina objected, confusion still written all over her face."That's not all, come have a look.." Daphne pulled Regina along and stopped right outside Mira's door which was slightly ajar."Look, she says

"Daphne? Where is Mirabelle? Where is my daughter?" Regina asked as she got to Mirabelle's school and found Daphne outside with Colin and a woman that should be in her late fiffies as well."I don't know Regina! I'm as confused at well. Mirabelle is missing""What are you saying Daphne?" Regina was trying to fight back her tears couple with the fact that she isn't too strong, her emotions is getting the better of her and if things aren't cleared up, she might loose it completely."Excuse me Ms. Are you the mother to the little girl?" Asked the middle aged woman. Regina looked at her and nodded."I'm sorry for the trouble ma'am, but it was reported that your daughter has not been seen in class since lunch break. Actually, there's a man that has been coming over everyday to see her and we really suspect he took her"Regina held the woman's clothes."What are you trying to say? A man has been paying my daughter visits for sometime now and no one bothered to inform me about it? Why are yo

Martina had the receptionist bribed again when she was told that Damon checked out already. She didn't want to believe her ears. The receptionist gave her the keys to Damon's room to see for herself. Getting there, she found the entire room empty. Damon's bags and clothes are not longer in the wardrobe."You lying snake!! How dare you leave after everything? I helped you and you were supposed to do same to me until we all get what we want but you left even before I could get mine. Just pray I don't get you Damon" Martina cursed underneath her breath.Everything is messed up. All thanks to Damon!! Everything she worked hard for is now ruined by Damon. Now the police are on their toes and by now, she's sure Hills must have showed them the video and they're probably searching for her.Life has taken a different turn on her. She never imagined that ever in her life, she'd be referred to as a criminal and begin to live in hiding.Right now, Martina has no idea what to do but she has to
