Becky shrugged and spun her chair around "Millionaire, billionaire it all sounds the same to me. My point is, if I was married to a millionaire I'd be in the Bahamas right now, sitting on the beach and getting my spa treatment done" "And that explains why you're still a single mother" "Sorry to burst your bubbles but I actually enjoy being single. Way better than having one man and dealing with mother-in-law stress" she chuckled. Dawn sighed. Suddenly reminded of Amanda. "Speaking of mother-in-laws. Amanda is in town" Her brows jumped up with interest. "Amanda the green witch?"

"You can go in miss." I looked up at him and mumbled a thanks. He gave me a single nod and left while I entered the room. In the middle of the room was a black couch. A loud rap music was busy playing loudly in the room, something that sounds like 'Eminem' I think. But Nicholas was nowhere to be found.

She didn't know how everyone felt but according to their attitude, Calantha knew things were not good, so she tried not to bother anyone. The bus parked near where she lived. Calantha got out of the car and walked into the dilapidated little apartment building. This place didn't even have an elevator. She dragged her tired body up five floors, came to a small room in the corner, searched until she found the key in her pocket, plugged it in the lock, and entered. In the brightly lit room, the TV was showing a certain movie. She took off her shoes and shouted loudly, "I'm back."

Until I didn't realize that I was sleeping in Hamdan's lap. I woke up when I heard noises from outside. I then opened my eyes, and looked at the room where I was. Turns out I was still in my mom's room. I then looked at the door, I then got up and walked out. I can't find where Hamdan is. But when I was outside, I looked at Hamdan who was serving some food on the dining table with Keiko's voice screaming from earlier. I smiled, Keiko was still here. I salute my only friend.

Please don’t let me die, I still have so many women to bed! Bob the security guard stayed in a hunched position for what seemed like a very long time, praying to every enlighted name he knew, from Jesus to Krishna to Buddha. “Bob…” a voice called out. Bobs eyes shot open and the hair at the back of his neck literally stood up. Shit…no..stay away…. “Bob….” the voice called again. Leave me alone…. A cold bony finger poked his back and Bob screamed, jumping up, “AHHHHHHHH!”

I embarrassed myself with his elder brother? I walk as fast as I can to my room, to save myself this embarrassment and banged the door really hard. All seconds added that I think of what happened, put more fury in me. I laid on the bed and put the pillow over my head, to avoid my eyes from seeing light."where are you Mr. Richards? I want to go back home, plus I miss you" I say out loud, I really do miss him and now, I can't control myself from these feelings I've been having lately. I'm the only one in this room. Then I hear "Here." Huh? I'm starting to hear things. I feel this is my mind imitating is voice and I say.

~ MAYA’S POV "Where am I?" I questioned myself scrutinizing my surrounding. I am in the middle of the forest. I don’t remember being here or how I even got here. Vexing thoughts and scared images pile up in my mind, trying to make sense of my situation.

I realized my old illness, the one that hadn’t flared up in ages, was acting up again. I’d never told my family about this old condition. It was tied to my past in the country, something I’d never wanted to bring up again. But only then did I remember—the medicine was in the drawer of my bedside table. I tried to speak, but my jaw refused to obey. Suddenly, the monitor screamed with urgent beeps. Dr. Mercer rushed to check the readings, fingers flying across the controls. "The subject's extraction module is malfunctioning. We need to transfer her to the backup room where there's an identical extractor that can sync with your helmets remotely." He said.

She… she’s really here. Right here. In my arms. My lips part slightly. “Amara…” I call softly, barely recognizing my own voice.

Lena's Pov "Where am I?” My voice was a hoarse whisper, echoing in the silence of the unfamiliar room. My head throbbed, a dull, relentless ache that pulsed behind my eyes. I blinked, trying to clear my vision. I didn’t remember coming here. Was I….in paradise? I was so sure hell wouldn't be as beautiful as the room I was in. A creak broke the silence, the sound of a door opening somewhere nearby. I panicked, jolting me fully awake.
