Flashback 9~As Antonio and Rania walked by, hand in hand, his eyes met Lexi's, and for a fleeting moment, Lexi felt like she was frozen in time. Antonio's gaze lingered on hers, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. Rania, sensing his attention, turned to follow his gaze, her eyes narrowing slightly as she took in Lexi's stricken expression.The sound of cheering and whistling gradually faded into the background as Lexi's focus remained fixed on Antonio. She felt like she was drowning in a sea of emotions, unable to look away from their direction. Sasha, noticing Lexi's distress, placed a gentle hand on her arm."Hey, are you okay?" she whispered, concern etched on her face. Lexi nodded, trying to compose herself. "Yeah, I'm fine," she lied, forcing a weak smile onto her face.Raven chimed in, "Let's go then, the show is over." Sasha replied excitedly, "Not yet, the talent show is next week, and I couldn't be more thrilled!" Lexi's curiosity got the better of her, "What's the talent

Flashback 11— "Oh my fuçkin’ Gawd," he exclaimed. His hand was still on the phone screen, his fingers tracing every curve, every contour of her face. He badly wanted to take off every piece of clothing on her body, rip it off and pin her to his bed, under his mercy. She wouldn’t like it, he knew, but he couldn’t help it. And he didn’t care either. It took all his self-control to stop looking at the picture. He went back to the group chat and typed a response. When he was done, he left the chat, and his eyes caught another message from a contact saved as 'Bella Mia'. Bella Mia: Let’s meet. He smirked after reading her message. She finally texted him, after he had waited so long. Yeah, he waited, 'cause he knew she would come running back. Nickolai had been right when he said he took Rania to school to make her jealous. She probably hadn’t realized it, but he saw it, the shocked look on her face, replaced by jealousy and anger. It was satisfying. He went to G****e and search

Flashback 13—Lexi walked on the stage with confidence, her heels clicking on the floor. When she reached the front of the stage, she kept her hands on her waist and smiled. Goosebumps rose on her skin as she felt someone's hard gaze on her; she roamed her eyes through the crowd, and that's when she saw him. His gaze was unrefined, a proud smirk sitting on his face; she couldn't decipher if his smile meant he was proud of her or he had other shady things running in his head. Anyways, she was thankful for the fact that he came to her rescue when she was in need of it, despite all she had done. She maintained her walking steps without mistakes; she moved to the left in front of the judges, raised her hair net a bit to reveal her face, and one of the judges clapped. She turned around and cat-walked out of the stage—her steps iconic.Behind the curtains were Sasha, Raven, and Rania, who were waiting for her. "You were amazing, Lexi. I knew you would kill it!" Raven said with a proud grin,

Flashback 15—His lips came crashing down on hers with a fierce intensity that left her breathless. He pinned her against the wall, one arm braced against the wall, the other cradling her head as he deepened the kiss.Sophia just stood there, shaking so hard that it felt her bones would rattle out of her skin. She couldn't take it anymore, so she turned around, running away from them.She wished she could unsee everything, but no – she couldn't; the image of their kiss was living rent-free in her head, in her mind, and even in her bloodstream.Fûck! She shouldn't have followed Lexi when she saw her going upstairs. Now she was the one getting burned, beyond measure.~As Antonio deepened the kiss, Lexi gasped. He took the opportunity and slid his tongue into her mouth, down her throat.The kiss was feral; he kissed her madly, like his life depended on it.Lexi could hear her own heartbeats in her ears, and before she knew it, she was kissing him back with the same mad intensity. Her ha

Flashback 17—Emily stepped back, glaring at Lexi, her fingers tightening around the hem of her dress."What did I expect from a spoiled brat like you? You don't appreciate anything I have done for you. Yes! We are two years apart—you are eighteen and I'm twenty—but that still gives me the right to tell you what's best!" she shouted, and Lexi fired back."No! You don't get to control me—not now, not ever. You say you want to help, but you are the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen. Why don't you tell us what really goes on at the club? Are you just a waitress? For you to be paid that large amount of money every month? You hardly reply to your messages or pick your calls. Even Mom is fed up with you, and yet you wanna advise me. Fine, maybe I'm a brat—but you? You're a damn liar, Emily!" Lexi shouted angrily, and Emily landed a hot, stinging slap on her face."I work day and night, picking up everyone's shift, giving Mom the money just so she could pay for your damn education. Yes, I d
