"Trust me, Orson. Give it two weeks. She'll be back crawling. "Only you'd still have the patience to wait for her. "My account's been blocked as well, but the old alumni group chat is still alive. I'll shake things up and get her back within two weeks."

Just a quiet home settled back into its rhythm. Evelyn looked at them both carefully, as though memorizing the sight. “So,” she began, clasping her hands in front of her. “You’re really going back to the city.” “Yes,” Aaron replied gently. “Work starts early Monday.” “And Lily’s been putting off meetings long enough,” Evelyn added knowingly. Lily sighed. “You’re both conspiring against me.” Evelyn stepped closer. “No. We’re reminding you that your life didn’t pause. It waited.”

"That's your problem, not mine. Lionel tried to kill me. He committed assault with intent to harm, and I won't accept any mediation. Save your breath." Rhiannon cried, "Why must you do this? Are you trying to ruin him completely just because we're close?" I didn't say anything and walked away, not wanting to waste any more energy arguing with her. People didn't turn bad overnight, and hearts didn't drift all at once. "It's snowing, Boss," Jane said, handing me an umbrella. I declined it and kept walking. It was the first snowfall of the year. I couldn't help but think back to when I confessed to Rhiannon. It had snowed heavily that day, too. When she nodded, it felt like the whole world lit

"Seems someone couldn't wait." "You know who it is?" Zachary asked. Sarah sat down, smiling. "It can only be those few people. We'll find out, and we'll settle every score."

Vivian screamed in fury. She had waited a long time, not even sleeping the day of the incident, just waiting for news. But all she got was notification of failure.

Not whole. But watching. Waiting. Learning.

"If you leave right now, I won't hold you accountable for ruining my fun!" I took in the disdainful look in her eyes and felt a wave of pity for myself. Today was Annabelle's birthday. In order to make her happy, I had booked out the most lavish restaurant in the city and prepared a diamond ring worth tens of millions of dollars. However, not only had she not shown up despite agreeing to come, but she also hadn't even bothered to answer her phone. I waited from six in the evening until eleven at night, at which point even the waiters began shooting me odd looks.

"How was your day?" "Fun! Blocks! Friend!" My chest fills with warmth. "You did so well, baby." "I am brave," he adds proudly. I smile. "Yes. You are." That night, the waiting begins. Every minute feels longer than it should, and every notification makes my heart jump. "They said a week," Renlo reminds me. "It has been hours," I reply. He laughs. "You are going to drive yourself crazy." "I already am." Three days pass, slow and heavy, and by Friday, I stop hoping. If they wanted me, they would have called.

Finally. After more than two hours of waiting, Rowan's patience was hanging by a thread. The Whitmore Group had meetings worth millions scheduled today. His inbox was overflowing. His phone hadn't stopped ringing since morning and yet here he was sitting in a lounge waiting like an intern hoping someone remembered he existed. The only reason he hadn't walked out already was because this was Vale Group. Any other company would've been told exactly what he thought of their professionalism by now. But the Vales?

Venessa's pov It has been exactly one week since I received that strange phone call, and ever since that night, in the back of my mind there's something that keeps telling me that I'm being followed and watched but I can't pinpoint who and why would someone do such a thing, I mean why me? Also, I started having nightmares every night and as always it would be the same. I kept having that same nightmare, where I'm being chased by someone and I keep on running towards a dark alley until I reach a valley and as always I would wake up instantly, sweating and shaking violently.

So, shoo shoo attraction like really go away. “Is something wrong with your own food?” I shook my head clearing my thoughts to see everyone staring at me. “No!” I replied, turning to my side to see him frowning at me. “Then have it.” He said, shaking his head and finished his while I started. “Do you have internet here, Nakul? My data pack is over and I need to check my mails.” Di suddenly said making James stiffen. “You can do it tomorrow after having a data recharge.” James pointed out.
