The next time when Noémie woke up after one hell of a night and clash with Ajax, she felt even more miserable.Her eyes felt heavy and weary and sleep-deprived, even though she had slept through the whole night till noon the next day.Despite Mrs Halest’s best efforts, Noémie refused to leave the bed. And if Sonia Halest and the maids did manage to coax her to shower and change into fresh clothes, she declined their pleas to step out of her room.She didn’t feel like going anywhere or doing literally anything.All she wanted was to stare into nothing and just cuddle a pillow and stay in bed.Seeing Noémie so pained, Mrs Halest rescheduled the doctor’s appointment and told Noémie, with all the love and care she had in her heart, that she should rest, as much as she wanted, and that she would be right outside if the young woman needed anything at all.Noémie could only nod and offer a small smile.Something Mrs Halest felt was forced, never reaching her eyes.———Later that day, when Aj

Slamming the door of his car loudly shut, Vincent sprinted up the stairs of the same shabby house he had visited a few days back with Hannah and started pounding on the door.The muscles around his shoulders were painfully strained, his face dark with rage he never knew he was capable of. Clenching and unclenching his fingers, he waited impatiently.His right eye twitched when no one answered the door. Not a single sound came from inside.The frown on his face hardened. Taking a few steps back, he kicked at the door with all the force he could muster.“Open the fucking door!” he yelled from outside, growing more and more impatient, kicking and punching and one time even thrusting his shoulder against the door, almost knocking the poor thing off its hinged.When someone finally did open the door, cursing like a sailor as they did, Vincent gave a rough shove to the person, enough hard to send her stumbling backwards.“What the—” the woman hissed, scrunching up her face as she recovered f

In a different interrogation room, a woman in her mid-thirties sat uncomfortably. Fidgeting with her fingers and tapping her feet against the floor, she perched on the edge of the chair, with no one but an empty chair and table to keep her company.After what seemed like an eternity, a man walked in. “Sorry to keep you waiting,” he apologized before taking a seat across from her.The woman bit her lip, her chest heaving with how nervous she was. “I…”“It’s alright,” the officer said. “Take your time.”The woman frantically nodded, licked her dry lips, and rubbed the back of her neck.“Feeling better?” the man asked.The woman nodded.“Alright, let’s start then,” he leaned back and sighed. “Explain your relationship with Ruby Spencer.”“She is…” she swallowed, her eyes jumping from left to right. She licked her lips again. Swallowed again. “She is…she is my sister….my sister-in-law.”“Your husband?”“Died in a car crash. Four years back.”The man gave a thoughtful nod. “Ms Ruby Spencer

Once they pulled away, Vincent rubbed both his hands down his face, not wanting to admit that he had just indeed cried. Praying to the dear lord his brusque brother wouldn’t point out to make him awkward and butcher this whole brotherly moment they had going on for like five seconds.“Something got in my eye,” he stated before Ajax could. “Too much dust in the air.”Ajax could barely hold back a scoff. “Yeah, sure, whatever you say.”Seconds after Vincent disappeared from his sight, he came face to face with Noémie.“Hey!” she greeted him softly.The light pink dress clung to her body in a perfect fit, really making that baby bump visible to any foreign eye. Although to him, the sight brought an unfamiliar warmth to his heart, something he couldn’t quite explain it. Not with words at least.“Right back at you,” he said with a small smile but frowned when noticed the goosebumps all over her bare arms. “Ready to go home?” he asked while also taking off his suit jacket and setting it on

“I do,” she gave him an affirmative nod. “I think I’m ready to hear it.”Good for her. But was he? He asked himself.What if reminding her of that night made her hate him? What if she took it all wrong? What if it ruined everything he had achieved with her so far?Ajax sucked a sharp breath, his temples suddenly pulsing with a terrible ache.“Before I tell you…” he said, swallowing down a great deal of saliva and feeling his shoulders sag and tense at the same time. “I want you to answer me something honestly.”There was no hesitation in her eyes when she urged him with a nod.“Do you still have feelings for me?” he asked, averting his eyes towards the other part of the room, not quite able to match with hers, too afraid to find rejection in them.Noémie said nothing.Ajax could feel the dread in his heart spread like cancer. Rising up his throat and down his chest. Boiling in his stomach and making him want to throw up real bad.But then something else happened.He felt the pads of h
