Chapter 47
“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
Chapter49 “I’m glad you came, I was nervous you won’t.” I chuckle as I hug Lauren… Mom. I’m still not used to calling her mom but I’ll get there.“Of course I would come, I feel sorry that I decline on Christmas.”“That’s okay, I don’t mind. I know that you have your way of celebrating these events.” I nodded and I can’t help but look at my surroundings. I’m fascinated by her house, it’s modern, simple but with a spark of elegance, it’s beautiful and it resonates her.She invited me to celebrate New Year with her family and at first I was hesitating because I don’t really know them that well and I hate to admit that I didn’t find anything about her children on the internet. She’s a private person a
Chapter50 Part 1I yawn the moment I wake up feeling the pain in my head. I sit up and look around only to find that I’m not home, it’s not my favorite place even though it’s part of the bar for the reason that I can still smell the liquor from down stairs and it’s still early but there’s already loud music that I can hear from a distance… I only get to stay here when I’m pretty drunk and can’t drive myself home.“You’re finally awake.”“Kate, what are you doing here?” I asked as she approach me and handed me a bottle of water.“Yeah, I’m the one who drag your ass up here. You were drunk and I just save you from getting killed by your sister.”My eyes widen when she said that and just like flash
Chapter50 Part 2“Why did you bring him here?” Ezra whispered angrily at me while looking at Luke who’s now talking to someone on the phone.“He’s Luke, Ez and he’s help us, he’s calling all the security that he can get.”He shake his head but later on nodded and before I knew it I’m now sitting on the van and listening to the plan, Ezra and Luke are the one talking and the two look so different as they plan it all out.I was so caught up by the shaking of my hands and nervousness that I didn’t realize that I had to bring all my money.I tug Ezra’s clothes and he looks at me annoyed as they stopped talking. “He wants my money, all of it.” I gulp and my tears began to fall.That made them all stopped.
Chapter51“Miss Ana, what can you say about the people who lost their loved ones during the bombing?”“Are the accusation about the bombing your fault really true?”“Fans have been saying that this is because of your arrogant personality that you made a lot of enemies in the past?”“Do you have a suspect of who did this?”“Did you compensate the lives that you have caused?”“Are you leaving because you feel guilty?”“Why are you escaping the chaos that you have caused?”I remain my poker face as the question continue, the crowded people, the flash flashing before my eyes and the clicking of the camera, and I continue to walk wi
Chapter52“Here you are, we thought we wouldn’t find you.” Lauren hug me tightly and Yen gave me this weird look that made me roll my eyes at her.“I bump into Luke. I didn’t know he’s here?”“Oh, I also found out that he’s an investor. He has been increasing his asset. Where is he now?”“I don’t know.”I should probably say he has gone home? I think my words will drive him to go home but I guess not because Lauren’s eyes are glued to my back and before I knew it they are conversing with each other and Yen use that an opportunity to poke me on my side ways.“What was that all about?”“I don’t know, you probably shouldn’t have left me alone with
Chapter53 I feel like the time stop as I look at him. He’s here… he came back, all the pain that I have been keeping on the ride came back to me like wild fire and I don’t understand myself anymore… I don’t want to be a cheat… especially to my sister, and Luke is just a temptation and even though I keep reminding myself about that, I just fold when he’s near and my decision is clouded by just looking at him… and I don’t want him to be reason why Pearl and I are fighting, I’m over it but my body doesn’t seems to agree especially that the tears I have shed won’t stop even after seeing Luke.and why does he have to see me like this?“Answer me, Ana.” He whispered and I shake my head as I cover my face using both of my hands.
