*Patricia’s POV*Stuart gave me a ride towards the hotel despite my hesitations. This made me think that I was just imagining things. Maybe I thought he loved me, but he was just playing along with the game that he and Kaz agreed upon. I could not sense any sign of jealousy from him. He was even smiling when he opened the car door for me.‘Stuart,’ I sadly noted, ‘what are you doing to me? Why am I so willing to be your toy if you are just playing games?’I went straight to the hotel without looking at him when I exited his car. I do not want to see his smile because it reminds me of my defeat. I allowed him to kiss me many times, but we have not talked about it. His kiss felt good on my lips, and strips of guilt hit me every time our lips parted. He was lik

*Stuart's POV*Everyone gathered around the table to discuss Kaz's problem. I learned he was in trouble because of a picture that went viral on social media."So," Angelo spoke, "who was the girl?""I dunno," Kaz answered with frustration," she was just one of my fans.""If she is just your fan, how did she end up on your bed?" I asked. I was referring to the girl lying next to him in the photo that went viral on social media. KAZ clearly has no idea that the girl took a picture of them together. He was sleeping half-naked when the picture was taken."As far as I can remember, I met her in a bar. I was drunk, so I cannot remember how we ended up in my room," Kaz explained."Wait," Mago interrupted, "let me get this straight. You were drunk when that happened? I thought you stopped drinking?""I decided to drink when I learned that Patricia was alone with Stuart on Angelo's island," KAz answered instantly."Are you blaming this incident on me?" I raised my voice."Hey, hey!" Marco taps

*Patricia's POV* The other day, a lunch was delivered to me with another note. The note's number is 21, and its watermark is 'L.' Yesterday, a child came to me when I left the building. She handed me a heart-shaped box of Ferrero Rocher. The girl told me that someone asked her to give the chocolates to me. I am not fond of eating chocolates, but how did the sender know that Ferrero Rocher is my favorite chocolate? The box of chocolates has a note numbered '9' with a period as a watermark."Patricia," one of my co-teachers called, "Madame would like to see you."I nodded at her before heading to the office. Madame was my ballet teacher before, but since many of her students have become part-time dance instructors at her Dance Studio, she has become our Dance Studio Administr

*Patricia’s POV*I was lying wide awake on my bed as I stared at the ceiling trying to think for an excuse to stay away from Stuart. I am sure that Stuart will do something to get even with me after what happened in the hotel. I am afraid that he will ask me to warm his bed, something that I know I would be willing to give. But I must stop myself. I cannot be the same Patricia before, the one who is willing to give everything without asking in return.I still love Stuart and I am willing to give myself to him but he has to give himself to me also. I just need him to tell me that he loves me. That is the only thing I would like to hear from him to assure myself that giving ourselves a chance is the right decision.But Stuart has his ways and I wonder how I can escape him today. I lo

*Stuart's POV*"What happened, Marco?" I called, "How come my reservation became two rooms?" "Have you forgotten that you hired Patricia as your personal assistant? She may have checked your reservation and changed its details."I silently cursed after remembering that Patricia had access to all my transactions. This can't be! My plans will only work if she knows about it.Kaz fixed his problem by telling everyone he was already engaged. This way, the media's attention now turns to knowing about his fiancé. I feel that Kaz will introduce Patricia as his fiance, and I cannot allow it to happen."How about if you make sure Patricia gets pregnant," Marco suggested."I am not that desperate, Marco," I answered."Then do something," he uttered, "Kaz already told us about his plans to pursue Patricia.""Patricia does not love him," I interrupted."I don't know, man," I heard him say, "Kaz was there for her when you announced your divorce."Fvck! Why didn't I think of that? Marco's right. I
