Chapter 11: He's No Longer Interested In Me.

I walked out of his study holding my breath and that ridiculous luxury gift set,which felt more like a bribe than a means of consolation, whatever it was I loved it.My face still feeling plumy and flushed from the note, and his exit words:"I’m not done wanting you, Renzy. But I’ll wait."Seriously? What was I supposed to do with that kind of confession?I placed my hand in my shirt.My heart was still racing. But life in the Wolfe mansion,didn’t pause or had time for emotional confusion.Diane was already in her room, half-dressed in her school uniform and pretending her socks were boxing gloves.“You okay, Renzy,?” she asked while throwing weak punches“Yeah.Just thinking about...stuff.” Even though I knew my condition showed how visible the lie was.She narrowed her eyes like a tiny detective, then started sniffing loudly. “ I can smell a lie,miles back,including those just two metres away?”“Believe me, there's no lie,” I said.“Okay renzy! but if there's anyone troubling you

Chapter 1: Slyly Seducing Shawn.

I was sick waiting for Diane. Even though it was an air-conditioned car with leathery seats which could automatically give a soothing massage, But I will still not okay,my thoughts and emotional breakdown generated heat that made me uncomfortable. Just as I was about to ask the driver to return home, I heard Diane’s jolly voice which was the cooler to my "emotional heat"she wasn't just running at a speed which could match up to a top athlete she was singing a goofy song which showed her excitement:“We are going to Thailand! Me, Dad, and Renzy! So much fun, we’re going to have a frenzy!”Seeing her smile immediately soothed my discomfort. I was about to leave the car to embrace her but she ran even faster as she got closer, so I opened the door, helped her in,“Easy!” I said, catching her in my arms as she collided into me when trying to enter the car.She giggled and practically danced her way into the back seat, kicking her feet and humming as if the world was her personal audien

Chapter 13: "Let the mind games begin"

I woke before the alarm, my eyes snapping open to soft morning light spilling through the window. Today was the day. The Thailand trip. The day everything changes from my appearance to my agenda. I stretched, letting the blanket fall off my body as I rose and walked barefoot to the bathroom. The cold tiles shocked me awake. I splashed water on my face and stared at myself in the mirror messy hair, sleepy eyes,dental retainers, And the faint memory of a dream I couldn’t recall But this wasn’t the time for dreams. It was time for strategy. I wrapped a towel around myself and opened the case in which I kept my skin products tiny but vital. It contained an organic soap I used to wash my face, a mild exfoliating gel, a mask, and a tinted lip wash that made my lips soft and pink. After my pre-shower routine, I moved on to getting ready for the day. I used a milky cream that instantly smoothed my skin, adding the right gleam. Honey-gold body mist with vanilla. Lip balm to make my lips

Chapter 14:A Trip Meant For Three.

The flight from Los Angeles to Thailand was long,14 hours and 26 minutes,but surprisingly calm. Somewhere over the oceans and beautiful views, time lost meaning. I dozed off, but would regain consciousness, waking to the scent of reheated meals,the low hum of birds in the sky.Despite the silence between Shawn and me, he managed to fill the cabin with noise,his voice. He ridiculously questioned Diane about school, her spelling test and her art projects. She answered eagerly at first, then started involving me into it, creating a three-way conversation I hadn’t signed up for.“ Renzy, how do you spell ‘gorgeous’?” Diane asked, her head tilted sweetly.It's one of the words we have to learn “G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S.” I spelt, still charmed by her intentful question.Shawn gave a faint smile behind the laptop. By the time we landed, it was early afternoon,about 1:30 p.m., local time. The plane touched down with a gentle thud, wheels screeching softly on the tarmac.Warm, tropical air wrap

Chapter 15: Intimate Night Intact.

At first, I wasn’t sure what I was seeing. Could it be the shadows playing tricks, and the distance was just far enough to blur detail. But something about his posture was off.He wasn’t just standing.His shoulders... shook.He brought a hand to his face, quickly. Then again. Wiping.Wiping something away.His strange behaviour made me gulp with guilt.Was he... crying?Shawn Wolfe?I stepped back, this was led by my instinct. My heart pounded with more guilt,like I’d done something I was never meant to do.But I didn’t leave, my curiosity made me stay back,I had to know if his current state was due to my slyish strategy.I found the hidden staircase that led up to his suite and walked, barefoot and slow, toward the unknown.I reached the door leading to his balcony where he was,just as I opened the door,he began rubbing his eyes roughly with his palm. His head snapped toward the sound of my footsteps and the turning of the knob, and in a blink, his expression shifted.Walls. Back up

Chapter 16: "Don't Leave Me Rennie"

"RENZYYYYYYY!"The scream sliced through the peaceful morning like a sharp knife.I sat upright, heart pounding so hard I thought it might burst. The sheets slipped from my shoulders as I stood up from the bed.Behind me, Shawn yawned softly, barely lifting his head from the pillow. “What the hel…”“Diane,” I whispered, wide-eyed. “It’s Diane.”Already scrambling for clothes, I grabbed his oversized T-shirt and wore my shorts back,as fast as I could.My legs ached from yesterday’s naughty exercises, but none of that mattered now."RENNY?!" Her voice cracked this time panic, heartbreak, raw and pure.I flew down the hallway, feet stepping on the cold tiles.There she was, in the middle of the hallway that led outside, small hands by her sides, tears streaming down her cheeks, hair wild like she’d been tossing in bed all night.“Where were you?! Why weren’t you in bed, all throughout the night?!”I dropped to my knees, pulling her into the safest hug I could give. “I’m here now, baby. I’
