I quickly let go of his hands, glancing everywhere else except him. My heart began to throb fast. This time, it wasn't due to Alvin kissing me or touching me but because I felt my ears were playing tricks on me."Uh... Er." how could I be so stupid to accept such a promise that easily?I should've known I couldn't trust Alvin with something like this. Making a promise to him? I finally gained the courage to lock my eyes with his, catching his gaze off amusement."Are you sweating over this? The Air conditioner is on," he touched my forehead with two of his fingers, shaking his head."Alvin, this- I can't-your request.." I didn't know what to say. Why was he always giving me a reason to be scared of being close to him? He chuckled, curled an arm around my waist, pulled me closer to him, and planted a kiss on my forehead."You seem to lack understanding of what at least means," he chuckled."There's no need to stress yourself over it. It's just been a big happiness for me. I love child

I re-read the message multiple times for it to sink into my head. Someone wanted to kill my Alvin? Oh God. Where on Earth was he?I quickly called his phone.He answered the call almost immediately. "Hello?" He sounded so tired."Where are you?" I scrunched my face in worry.The sound of the door opening distracted me. "I'm right here." He said. I ended the call and threw the phone to the bed, sprinted to him, pulled him in then locked the door."We have to leave immediately.""Right now?""If it's possible then yes.""I already said that but we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning." He kissed my forehead."I received a crazy message." I held his hand and pulled him with me to grab my phone. "I just received a message from someone who said he or she wants to kill you and it'd be easier since we're in Paris."He chuckled. "Is that some sort of joke?""It's not funny at all." I glared at him."Let me see the so-called message.""Yeah, you'll see." I clicked on my phone messages but

"Amanda?" He repeated."Yes. I'm sure she's behind this. I don't trust that crazy friend of yours."I nodded. "She's the only one I can suspect right now."Alvin laughed. "You must be mistaken. I'm certain Amanda wouldn't do anything as stupid as this.""Oy?" I scoffed. "She's a devil in disguise. Didn't you see how she was smiling while you were around but the second you left, she revealed her demon to me, claiming to love you and I have to stay away."He ended his laughter. "Okay, I agree Amanda might be crazy sometimes but I know she can't be behind this.""How can you be certain?" I glowered, hating the stupid trust he had for her."We've been best friends for ten years so of course I know her well enough to know she can't do this.""I'm certain she is behind this. She wants you to think I'm crazy then lock me up in a mental hospital so she'll take my place but I won't let that happen. I'll be your wife for as long as I live and there's nothing she can do about it." I didn't care

"Who is Samantha?" I asked again, soaked in a pool of worry."I trusted you to not mention her name. Please leave." Alvin drew his lips into a snarl."So you're sending me out of your house? Wow." Amanda snorted, glared at him from head to toe then angrily left the terrace."Alvin, tell me who Samantha is right now," I ordered.He gazed at me, anger was still burning in his eyes. Without another word, he walked away and left the terrace, letting my mouth drop to the ground. I tried to let the fact that he was hiding a woman's identity sink into my head before leaving the terrace too. Was Alvin cheating on me? Was it because I wasn't fulfilling his sexual desires? Oh no, I was going to die if he left me alone for another woman. There was no way he had stopped loving me when I was already feeling this way for him.I was still arguing with myself about whether or not I could tag this unique feeling and attraction as love. If not love, then what was called love? It had to be it but how wa

My poor heart was throbbing hard. I tried to scream or run but I couldn't seem to move. She quickly wrapped her hand around my wrist, the knife was smiling its sharpness at me like it was ready to slit my throat."Go upstairs and don't say a word." She whispered, glancing around, and started pulling me towards the stairs.I was too scared to even attempt to run so I let her pull me to my room. God, save me. I internally prayed. She shut the door behind her, sauntered to the bed, and gently pushed me to it, shushing me again though I wasn't speaking. Gosh, how could I not have thought of Faith? She had the same red hair as the person who was spying on us at the company. Who else could've known that I cried my eyes out except three of them? There's no way I could've suspected her, I thought she was a good friend. So she was the devil in the disguise of an angel? She glanced around, still pointing the knife at me before her gaze finally rested on me."F-Faith... wh-what's... what's happ
