Zach quickly got to where his private jet was parked and just before he entered, he received the information he had asked Luke to send to him. He went through it and saw where Paige would be lodging for three days, as well as who her roommate was. He stared at Hilda's picture and tried calling Paige one more time, but her number still did not go through."Let's go," he said to the waiting pilot, giving instructions to take off. Thirty-five minutes later, Zach's jet landed, and he called Paige's number again but still couldn't reach her. Sighing, he headed to the location of the hostel where she was lodging. Once there, he stood outside and called Luke.When Luke answered, Zach said, "The information you gave me wasn't comprehensive enough. What is Paige's room number?"Luke apologized, "I'm sorry, sir. I must have accidentally omitted it. I will send it to you right away. But, umm, I just want to remind you that it's a girls' hostel, so men are not allowed to go in. Besides, I wen

Candy felt so happy and began to say inwardly, "Finally, I'm going to have my revenge, Paige. You have no idea what more I have in store for you."Meanwhile, Hilda who stood behind Candy began to tremble. She could still recall how many men the man searching for Paige last night had carried with him, and how terrified they had made her feel. She had been so afraid to tell Candy the truth, so she lied that everything went according to plan. She did not dare to mention Zach to Candy since she stood to benefit by being a member of Candy's group.She was hoping that by pleasing Candy, she would boost her popularity in school, as her father wasn't as well-to-do as Candy's.As Paige made eye contact with Hilda, Hilda looked away, feeling even more afraid. She kept hoping that Paige would not get the chance to expose her for what she did last night.Meanwhile, the lecturer whom Candy had lied to last night when Paige did not show up was very upset with Paige. Candy had told him that Paige wa

Paige and Zach stared at each other, smiling. She finally chuckled and wiped her eyes, "I guess you're right. I'm really a crybaby. Oh, by the way, I noticed that Hilda did not perform. When I didn't see her yesterday, I didn't think too much of it. But even today, she didn't show up. I asked Cynthia and Freda about her, and they both said she scaled through the first day but didn't show up the next day.""So, what do you want to know about her?" Zach asked.Paige smiled, "Well, I don't know why... I was thinking whether... I was just wondering if you maybe had her expelled or something."Zach smiled, "That's nice. You're beginning to think like me.""Really?""Yes, I mean being able to figure out that I had her expelled, that's you being smart.""Umm... Thank you, I guess," Paige said."What exactly do you think happened to you on that night?" Zach asked."Well, initially I thought that Hilda made a mistake. But I later figured out that she deliberately set me up. I mean, she stole

Paige broke down in tears as Zach held her in his arms. After a while, she stopped crying.He wiped her tears and asked, "Do you feel better now?"She shook her head, "All my life I saw him as my dad. After my mom's death, I could not understand why my own father suddenly hated me so much.Those people treated me so badly but do you know that that is not what hurts me the most? My mom was the sweetest person I ever met.I never saw her and Anthony fight even once. He practically worshipped the ground she walked on. He fawned over her all the time and always went out of his way to put a smile on her face.She gave him everything, including her company but the fact that Candy is just a few months younger than me proves that he was the one who cheated my mom but today he called her a whore before the entire world.It hurts me so much that he can just say anything about my mum and people will start badmouthing her. How can I bear such disrespect toward the person I loved and respected the

When Zach got so close to kissing Paige, she felt his breath fan her face. Before she could open her eyes, he got up and turned his back on her.As her eyes opened, she stared at him wondering why he had been so close to her. He had his back to her for a while but finally turned.When he saw that she was awake and looking at him, he was surprised."Mmmmmh... When...when did you wake up?" he stuttered."Just now," Paige replied. "I felt your presence and smelled your cologne.""Oh, okay," Zach replied.For some reason, he suddenly felt awkward around Paige."Sorry for keeping you," he said. "I just had so much on my plate, probably because I traveled and wasn't around for a while.""I get it," Paige said. "It's already past twelve and almost one, what are we going to do?""You know what? Let's forget about going to the agency for now," Zach replied. "You should go to school, so if there's anything that is expected of the winners, you can attend to it. I will quickly drop you off, okay
