"Please, this is the last one." "No. The answer remains the same, sir. You won't get anything from me. Go to hell." And the deafening slam of the door marked the end of Tyler's attempts to see Laura today. But he was still standing at Laura's door after getting very rude rejections so many times. It might have been a bit of an exaggeration to expect Laura to suddenly change her mind and open the door to let him in. Just your fucking dream, Ty! Tyler cursed inwardly. There was no way Laura would turn to meet him. The woman had even tried to avoid him by moving house three times. Ever since Alex was thrown into prison, Tyler has been trying to find solid evidence to convict Alex. The prosecutor's office is not willing to grant his demands to Alex because of the weak evidence he has. Alma's murder case could not bring Alex to justice for his guilt. The court mocked him for having imprisoned a businessman without evidence. In addition, several newspapers started writing disgusting stor

Harper knew her fears were ridiculous and overblown. She was even still shaking after Alex left her house hours ago. She asked Chase to accompany her for a while. To reduce Chase's suspicions about the pizza in her room, Harper asked Chase to eat together and asked Chase to chat about anything. Anything but about Alex and her fears. She was really afraid that Alex would terrorize her even more after this. Moreover, Alex began to sniff about Chase's whereabouts. She couldn't risk Chase's life for her complicated problem with Alex. She was a fool not to have predicted that. Tyler also didn't say anything when they met three days ago to celebrate Amber's birthday at Amber's favorite restaurant. At that time Tyler avoided discussing anything related to Alex's case and was just having fun celebrating his fiancé's birthday party. She thought Tyler did it on purpose because he didn't want to ruin Amber's joy on her birthday. Turns out she was wrong, Tyler didn't talk about Alex's problem be

Alex's SUV stopped right at the edge of the sidewalk that separated Harper's yard from the street in front of her house. The two-story house is dominated by brick red and light brown colors on each wall. The roof of the house is pointed upwards with tall windows on each floor covered with sweet-looking vines. Perhaps Harper deliberately grew the vines so that her house would be different from the houses belonging to her neighbors who had the same building style. At the front, there is a step that connects the small terrace at Harper's house with the main door that will lead directly to her living room. Too bad the houses in this area don't have garages, thought Alex when he saw the cars belonging to Harper's neighbors scattered around the sidewalk. Alex could see Harper's car parked neatly in her driveway. Yesterday it was too dark to see around the house. The house Harper bought seemed comfortable enough. The area is so quiet. Away from the hustle and bustl

Harper sticks to her original intention of not sleeping after Alex leaves her. For an hour and a half, Harper sat alone in the kitchen with the coffee grounds clumping together at the bottom of the cup. Brielle, who came at five minutes to six, looked at her in surprise because she didn't look okay in her eyes. But the smart Harper managed to find a good excuse to be in the kitchen before six. Apart from that, Brielle also found another cup in the sink. So Harper wasn't completely lying about her story to Brielle if she'd woken up before six o'clock and then accompanied Alex for a cup of coffee. But not long after that Alex excused himself back into his study to work on the pile of documents he needed to read, so in the end she was alone in the kitchen until Brielle arrived. Harper thought it was the most perfect tale to tell Brielle. She didn't want to make Brielle worry about her relationship with Alex. "What can I do for you, Brie?" "Nothing. I'd rather you just sit there and ea

"I'll take it to the kitchen and wash all the dishes." "Harper, you don’t have to. Sit here with us." “Lydia… you've prepared a really great meal today. Now it's my turn to clean all these plates,” Harper pointed at all the dirty dishes scattered on the table. Everyone seemed very hungry and very happy to eat whatever Mrs. De Castro served today. Harper was no exception, she had eaten well today even though she was in a bad mood after her fight with Chase. "Okay. We'll wait in the living room then. Thanks, darling." Mrs. De Castro kissed Harper gently on the cheek and walked off to the living room with her husband to relax. Maybe the romantic couple will read their favorite book while listening to soothing classical music. Harper felt proud to stare at the romantic couple. Since the first she has always dreamed of growing old with the man she loves, then they will share various kinds of happy moments. But it looks like it's all just hope. Her love story is tragic. The man she lo
