The dinner was more than halfway done when Zara got a call from the caretaker. She stepped out of the private room to talk.The caretaker told Zara that Trevor had started drinking a lot in the last couple of days. He was getting super drunk every day, and Sharon could not stop him or convince him to quit. She was really worried about what might happen and asked Zara for advice.Zara had a feeling something was wrong with Trevor's mood when she left Fleent. Now, she heard that he was drinking too much?She was worried that Sharon was stressing out about Trevor, which could make her sick again."Call me when he wakes up tomorrow. I'll talk to him," Zara told the caretaker.The caretaker said okay.After hanging up, Zara went back to the private room where they were all hanging out. However, when she got there, she found that Shelby and Charvi were the only ones left. The three guys had disappeared."Where did they go?" Zara asked.Shelby said, "They went to smoke, take some call

The night outside was pitch-black with not a single glimmer of light. The winter wind, with a touch of snow, slipped through the window cracks. It brought with it a slight chill that could not chase away the room's warmth.Zara reached out her pale, soft arm from the covers. She tried to turn on the bedside lamp.However, Yosef was pressing down on her bare back again, kissing her neck. She trembled uncontrollably as he did not let up, kissing all the way down her spine to the dip of her back.Zara was sprawled on the pillow, squirming as she felt ticklish. She tried to push the man away. However, Yosef just held her hands firmly. Placing them beside the pillow, he leaned in for a kiss.She squirmed, feeling that he was being a little too clingy.He had shown up at her place last night, sick and helpless like a stray dog. Now, he was sticking to her like a needy Golden Retriever.She had not planned on getting close to him again, but his persistent caresses made her lose control

Harper looked at Shelby with a serious expression.Shelby gently removed his hands, saying calmly, "If you're just bored and looking for someone to argue with, please find someone else. I have case files to read."Harper was upset by her calm and distant attitude. He held her hand a bit too firmly. "You're a lawyer, and I can't win an argument with you."He was acting out in frustration, and Shelby's voice wavered as she tried to calm him down. "Harper! Please, let's not do this!"However, Harper was not listening.He held her hands, trying to show her how upset he was. "You never call me 'Hubby', and I wonder if it's because you're thinking of someone else. But remember, I'm the one you're married to. I'm your husband."Shelby was taken aback by his strong reaction. She was unprepared for his intensity and felt overwhelmed. Her words came out in a shaky whisper, "Harper, please—""If he hadn't cheated with that younger student, would you be his wife by now? Would you? After all

Shelby thought Zara was just kidding, but Zara really did take her to dinner with Leah.They got there early and waited a bit. Leah arrived, fashionably late with her bodyguards in tow.She made her way from the entrance, her eyes locked on Zara without blinking. Zara looked back at her, and it felt like their stares were pulling them closer together. Zara was a bit taken aback.In just a couple of weeks, Leah had changed so much. She looked really worn out.Leah's appearance was usually striking, with her deep eyes and bold makeup that usually turned heads. However, at this moment, her face was so gaunt. Even with her makeup done just right, she could not hide how tired she looked.She was only in her 20s, but she already seemed to be showing signs of age.Zara, on the other hand, looked fresh in her neat suit with a mint green coat thrown over it. Her fair skin made the color pop. Next to Zara, Leah seemed dull and lifeless, like a piece of gravel next to a shiny pearl.Leah c

Unrequited love... The wind made Zara's skin tingle, but she still could not believe it. How could she find out if it was true?She remembered when they had that special meal, Yosef asked about a bunch of love letters.She thought it was strange how much he cared about it. Then, she wondered if he had written her love letters back in the day. Zara leaped to her feet, her eyelashes flickering with worry. She remembered leaving all those love letters at her house back at Fleent. She quickly dialed Shelby's number."Shelby, are you on your way yet?""Just about to leave. What's going on?""I need to go back to Starville with you. Can I tag along?"Shelby paused for a moment before replying, "Sure. Are you still at the restaurant we were at? I'll swing by and pick you up."Before long, Shelby's car pulled up, and Zara hopped in.Once they were on the road, Shelby finally asked, "Is this about Mr. Webb?"Zara's heart raced as she nodded, her lips pressing tightly together.
