She walked to the grumpy receptionist, hoping she'll get an answer. "Excuse me,I'm looking for nurse Kira" she saidThe receptionist's scowl deepened. She typed away on her computer, ignoring Roberta.

Ruby got dressed for the party. Her hair was put in a usual ponytail, she felt so confident and excited for what was going to happen at the yacht. She applied another coat of lip gloss and stared at herself in the mirror. Mark invited her to spite Taylor. She had given him invites for a few people and she didn’t think it through that he would invite her archenemy, Ruby. Ruby smiled, she had been extra bored lately and was in the mood to cause a little drama online. It was true what people said about hurt, it only made you stronger and less afraid. Ruby could care less about how much money Taylor had or how strong she was.People always told her she was a female version of her father. She reminisced on the days she worked at the shelter, how she had to juggle working different jobs, being a daughter and a student. She had to support her parents in little ways even though they kicked against it. There was barely any money to eat, not even to talk about paying her college tui

The water was boiling hot but she didn't mind, she was mad at Carl.She was worried about so many things, she hadn’t received an update about the party from either Mark or Ruby, it was so unlike them. She helped Lorenzo to get into bed, he slept immediately, she imagined he meant everything he said and he was going to remember when he woke up. She decided to be more careful, she couldn't have thought that someone had followed her to see her son.After some minutes, she stepped out of the shower.She was dressed in a biker short and an old tank top. She watched her father pull out of the driveway, she hoped he didn't hear her and Carl argue over the phone.She was glad he was gone, the man made her uncomfortable. She walked to his room, now was the perfect time to search for his journal, she ensured he was deep in his sleep, the alcohol had knocked him out. She pulled out the drawer where Doris s

Nate woke up the next morning with a start, Ruby wasn't home yet. He had spent the night at his mothers house, she had told him that she invited Ruby over. It was an opportunity for them to sort out their differences and get back together but that didn’t work out as Ruby had developed a new attitude and she wanted nothing to do with him. He yawned tiredly, he spent the night tossing around on the bed. He feared Ruby was hurt especially after he found out that she went to party with Adam and Taylor. Adam helped him check the car monitor and he confirmed everything was fine. Nate sighed, it was a lazy Saturday morning, normally he would have played golf with some of his business partners but he decided to stay indoors, after the recent murder investigation and the supposed visit from the mafia, he decided to keep to himself, his lawyer advised him not to trust anyone, he believed the person who bought the land in his name was against the redevelopment plan he had proposed.

She had so many questions for her aunty, if she wanted her help, she had to come clean and be truthful. One thing she learned from living on the streets was that there was no rumor with a little bit of truth in it. "I'll be back by evening" she said to her mother"I'll wait for you then" she smiled "It's a pleasure to have you again this week” Doris smiled as she let her into the house. "Doris ,I have so many questions," Roberta said immediately.She didn't have it all day. "What could that be?""You sent me this picture" she said and pushed the envelope to her.

"No further evidence has been found" officer Malcolm said sadly.It was difficult finding a culprit or even a suspect at least. It made him feel incapable of his duties."No fingerprints? What do you mean?" Nate asked He was having a tough time."We were able to identify the bullets that were shot at his lungs as mk 15. The bullet is only available in America" "Mk 15?""Yes sir but I promise you,we are doing our best""Your best is not enough!"
