[Hannah]Kevin's words struck Hannah's heart like an arrow. Whether he was joking or not, what he had just said made her feel weak. This was bad. Hannah hadn't expected Kevin to end up stronger than her. Just a few words from him, and she felt as though all her strength had drained away."I mean, there won't be anyone else in the office who's as noisy and as annoying as you. Maybe I'll miss getting ambushed out of nowhere in front of my office." Kevin shook his head. "I think I've developed Stockholm syndrome. That's terrifying.""Yeah, go book yourself an appointment with a psychiatrist," Hannah joked, trying to sound as casual as possible. "It means you've already gotten used to having me around, best friend."She put emphasis on the word “best friend”.Kevin frowned for a moment. "I guess you're right. If you suddenly stopped bothering me, it'd feel like something was missing."Hannah blushed and rubbed her nose. "I don't like it when you're this honest.""I've always been honest.

[Imani Flashback]I met Lily when I was already 18 years old at Maple House, a group home for children who had been abandoned, separated from their parents, or orphaned. She was only 14 or 15 at the time.Lily had no parents. They had died in an accident, and she had no relatives who could take her in.Me? I was a little luckier. I still had parents. It was just that my father had a terrible temper. My mother left him because, people said, she could no longer endure his beatings. Eventually, my father was sent to prison, and, well, I had no choice but to stay at Maple House.I was actually preparing to leave the place. I was the oldest kid at Maple. Even though they allowed me to stay until I turned 21, I felt old enough to live on my own. I had a part-time job, so I had enough money to do that.But the moment I saw Lily, I felt I needed to stay at Maple a little longer to protect her.On Lily's first day at Maple, she almost took her own life. She wanted to be with her parents. She w

[Imani Flashback]"How far along are you?""Twenty weeks," Lily replied with a bright smile."You only have a few months left. He's going to marry you, right?""Richard said he would, but he needs time to convince his family."My heart immediately sank when I heard those words. So far, all Richard had given her were promises."Lily, this is exactly what I was afraid of. What if his family says no?""I don't really need his family's approval. All I need is Richard by my side."But the idea of Richard leaving his family to be with Lily sounded like nothing more than a pipe dream. If Richard had truly been serious about Lily, he should have married her from the start instead of getting her pregnant and hiding her away in an apartment.He should have introduced Lily to his parents from the very beginning and asked for their blessing. But Richard came from a wealthy family. They would never willingly accept an orphan with no known family background.I kept all of those thoughts to myself b

[Maria] Auntie Imani broke down in tears as she told me everything she knew. Her eyes were swollen as she continued to sob. Jamal brought her a box of tissues. I wasn't sure whether he'd heard our conversation or not.I could only stare blankly, trying to process everything she'd told me.Stories I'd never known before.I wiped the tears streaming down my cheeks and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. Of course, my mind didn't settle that easily. Too many thoughts were swirling inside my head.I had always believed that, in some way, my father really did love my mother. From Auntie Imani's story, it seemed like that was true. It's just that my father loved her in the wrong way. What he did wa

[Hannah] Hannah felt like she had made a huge mistake.Forget trying to talk things through nicely to Maria, at this point, she had done something far worse. She had revealed the secret to the very person it was supposed to be kept from. This wasn't just a breach of the NDA. Wasn't this the kind of mistake at work that could get her sued?She bit her lip in confusion as she headed back inside. She walked over to Kevin, who was sitting there looking completely relaxed, as if nothing in the world could possibly be wrong in his life."Kevin. Do you have any money?"Kevin looked up at her, staring at Hannah in confusion."I need to borrow some."
