While Vanessa was still lost in her imagination between her and Alex, even adding up things that had not yet happened, Becky walked in, her hands full with different home appliances which she had gone to get since she believed Vanessa forgot to buy, but it would be necessary. She walked into the kitchen, dropped everything, and then went in search of Vanessa, who was still sitting by the veranda, smiling to herself as she covered her cheek, knowing it was all hot from excessive blushing. Becky stood at the doorway to the veranda for a while, staring at her, hoping that she would get to realize her arrival. But yet Vanessa was still so lost in her imagination until Becky couldn't help but clap her hands loudly while Vanessa stood up, almost about to stumble to the ground in shock as she arranged herself and turned around only to see it was Becky. She smiled and sat back down as Becky slowly walked towards her, humming a music sound.

The next morning, Becky opened her eyes and was surprised to see herself in Vanessa's room. Even her clothes were changed to a night dress. She sat down and rubbed her eyes, calling out to Vanessa, but yet no answer. She stood up from the bed and slowly walked out of the room. "Vanessa," she called again, but yet got no answer. She went to the kitchen, and on the counter was her breakfast. She could not help but smile because Vanessa was treating her like a princess that she never imagined she would be. She opened it, and it was a very decent Italian breakfast, just as she expected. It seemed as though Vanessa was still connected to Italy because she refused to let go of it in any way. That was when it dawned on Becky. Vanessa had come back to work again. She couldn't even believe it. Yes, she had known Vanessa for so long and knew that she was always busy with business in Italy. But she had no idea

Alex, listening to the words Vanessa muttered, could clearly understand what she was trying to say. It was more than obvious that Vanessa could not continue this anymore. She was now in a tight spot. He slowly let go of her as he caressed her hair gently. "Is Lucas still stalking you? Does he want anything from you? Do you want me to deal with him?" Alex asked as Vanessa shrugged before walking into the building. He could not help but follow after her as he needed answers. He knew that there was something Vanessa was not saying. They soon entered. Vanessa sat on the sofa and motioned for him to sit. "What you don't really understand is I don't want to be involved with any of you guys anymore. I just want to be far from the both of you. Pull me back, and I don't want to be pulled back. And I think if anything should get more heated between the both of us, I won't help but fall in love with you, and I don't want that," Van

While everything was getting heated up between Lucas and Alex, Vanessa was having the time of her life already constructing her company and visioning how it would expand and become one of the best in the state. She was so occupied that she hardly even came back home to sleep. And now that she had removed Alex from her thoughts in total, it made her concentrate more on her business. She knew what she was saying when she said that the both of them would be a distraction to her. Now that none of them were in her way, she was able to do whatever she wanted and stay away from all of them while being at peace with herself. It had been a few days since she met with Becky, and she was slowly missing her. She decided to go to her office and pay her a surprise visit. On her way to Becky's office, she had to wait for the red light as it seemed that students were crossing over to end while some were coming down from the school bus. She looked afar and she could see Alex's house. It made her rem
