Chapter 41
My mind is hire wired with curiously when I I left Lauren and dad to talk and even though I wanted to stay so badly I couldn’t because they have the right for their privacy… I thought of asking Lauren tomorrow but that would mean I’m being nosy. I didn’t even notice that I have arrive home, when I open the entrance door my eyes widen and I couldn’t hide my smile the moment I enter the house.
“What is this?” I laugh at Luke when he handed me a bouquet of flowers. “I don’t recall that today is a special day.” We hugged each other tight and he kiss my forehead and didn’t let go of my waist and look at me and didn’t say anything. I pouted and pinch his cheeks. “You’re so cliche.” I said with a smile.
“Admit it, you like it too.” He
Chapter42“Is everything okay here?”Luke and I are looking at each other when Pearl appears between us. She hold my arm to check me and I was still looking at Luke and now he’s looking at his wife…while pouting.I look away and face Pearl. “Yeah.” I nodded and give my attention to Luke. “Thanks… for saving me.” I said in a whisper and I can’t even look at him.“That’s enough. We should go home.” I rolled my eyes at Ezra when he appears out of nowhere and put his arms around my shoulder. “You’re drunk, I’ll take you home.” I gave Luke and Pearl a final look and when I saw that they’re looking at each other and communicating with their eyes I look away and back to Ezra.“Let&rsq
Chapter43What the hell is happening right now? My mind is full of questions and I need to know what is happening before I’m going to be crazy thinking about what is this all about.I can’t hear what they’re talking about but base on their expression, things aren’t good. I already erase the thought that Luke’s dad might be the mastermind of trying to kill me but the thought that Luke might be part of this scares me. What if that was really the case? I haven’t proven that his dad isn’t innocent yet as he’s still part of the list of suspects but what if they’re both in it together… and the question is why?“What are you thinking?”I look at Ezra who sat beside me. I can’t work with all these thoughts and I have
Chapter44 Part 1 I hold my necklace tight as I drive myself to the bar… I’m wearing two different necklaces… the one he gave me wasn’t expose but why do I feel like he knows something? I’m kind of scared. I know I should have given this necklace to Pearl but it’s the only thing that I have that resonate the human that Luke and I created.“What are you thinking?” I jump at my seat. I look around and I didn’t even realize that I’m already at the parking lot.“Nothing.” I said to Ezra as I go down from the car.He didn’t say anything as we went inside the bar… it’s already packed with people and the music isn’t as wild as it’s going to be later… We sat on the bar stood and ask for dri
Chapter44 Part 2Shit. I pulled away and his mouth open as we look at each other. My heart is beating so fast and I don’t know where to look or what I should do.“I’m sorry.” I said and there’s an awkward silence between us that I couldn’t bare it anymore.“Ana.” He calls my name with gentleness but I shake my head and open the door and ran my way home.Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I can’t remember how many times I cursed the moment I close the door of my room. That shouldn’t have happen! That was wrong. Ezra is my friend and we’re not like that… this is so wrong in many ways, this will affect our friendship and we’ll be awkward when we’re together. I just can’t pretend that that didn&rsq
Chapter45Part 1I jump a little and flinch as Luke said that, I was so shock that I didn’t even bother to look around. I don’t know how to react and I was so shock upon looking how betrayed he is… he must be really special to him but what makes me doubt him is when I met Dave he pretended like he didn’t know him as I introduce Dave to him… he just look angry and didn’t even bother to tell me that they know each other… it’s making me think who Dave really is to his life.“Luke.” I gulp as I said his name with so much gentleness. He looks at me with bloodshot eyes and I want to move my chair and comfort him but I try not to… I don’t want to be that type of girl who’s going to comfort a married man in his lowest.“I don&rsq
Chapter45Part 2“I can’t believe this is happening! You did this didn’t you?” She looks at me and I just rolled my eyes as I drink my wine.“Why would I sabotage my image?” I said as I put down the wine glass. “I don’t even like being bothered by the media, not like you who wants attention and now that you’re getting it, you’re angry?”I’m in a dinner together with Dad, Ann, Pearl and Lauren and Ann is ranting about the rumor that has been spreading around the internet and blaming it all on me.“Ana, that’s enough.” Dad said that made me pout, I do have a point they just don’t want to admit that.I look at Lauren and Pearl who’s silently looking at us, and Pearl sig
Chapter46Part 1I bite my lips as I dial Monica’s phone number, I haven’t contacted her for a while but the investigation is still on going, I don’t know if she’s still doing her job right but I want to the progress and if I can suspect between the few close people in my life.“I’m coming, ready the files.” I said and put the phone down and I was going to get inside my car when I saw James on the parking lot. My brow creased as he doesn’t see me yet, what is he doing here? “James.” I call his attention and his eyes widen when he looks at me.“What are you doing here?” He ask but I shake my head.“I should be the one asking you that.”“I was hoping I could visit the person that
Chapter46Part 2“Did something happen? Why are you drinking again?”“I’m just happy.” I said and smirk at Ezra. He raised his brows and sit beside me and order himself a drink.“Tell me about it.”“First, I think this investigation is going somewhere. And lastly I think Pearl still loves James.”“You’re still hoping about being with Luke? After what you’ve been through.”“All of what happen was not his fault, Ez.”“You said you would finally move on for good. This is not healthy, and your drinking habit is not healthy. Plus, even if Pearl doesn’t love Luke how about Luke? He loves his wife… and not… never mind.
