Chapter 44 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.
Chapter47“Here’s your schedule for the day.” Kate gave me the tablet coldly and exited the room with a gloomy face.I sigh, I didn’t expect her to come to work and seeing her here breaks my heart. She’s my friend… I’m her friend and I have betrayed her and that pain will forever be engraved in her heart.I thought because of my busy schedule I would forget all the emotions and the memories of last night but I can’t even work as I keep spacing out… that’s when I decided to talk to Kate.I gather all my thoughts before going out of the office to her table. She didn’t even gave me a look when I sat on the chair from her table.“Kate.”She looks at me coldly. “DO you ne
Chapter 48 Part 1I didn’t even realize that I close my eyes and that I was holding my breathe, it was just a peak but I felt so sinful. I pull away and look at him, he closed his eyes too but when I pull away he opened it and looks at me.I shake my head feeling nervous and seeing him panic made me more scared. “This is wrong.” I said in a whisper only intended to myself but he heard me, and I didn’t even realize that I was holding my lips. It felt so good that I forgot what was right and wrong, I became irrational and the thought of kissing him again excites me. “Fuck.” I whispered loudly and gather myself together and stood up. Luke was just looking at me the entire time… it made me concern but I shouldn’t so I begin to walk away without saying another word.“Wait.” I close my eyes tight as I stopped walking because of a force on my wrist to stop me.“Luke, just go home. GO home to your wife.”He ignore my statement and made me face him, he’s now holding both of my hands and my bro
Chapter48 Part 2“Thank you.” Lauren suddenly said that made me look at her.“You deserve it.” My eyes immediately shifted to the man and I didn’t even realize that Lauren was saying goodbye as she has somewhere to go to.When she left I look at the man as he’s looking at me and before I could say anything he pulled me by the wrist and drag me to the bathroom and I can’t even protest because I was in shock of why he dragged me here and locked the door.“Let go of me and explain this madness.” Maybe he found some evidence that can help the case?“I know it’s you Pearl.” His hawk eye turn into a gentle one and he hold me with careful and I’m just confuse, is he shitting on me?“Are you bull
