Chapter 13. So your type isn't funny, smart and gorgeous?
~~
It was a legendary person who said the words, “When there's a way to escape and you still don't take it, ask yourself why you want to stay.” That person was me, Myra Collins.
And I had said these words to Zivah a week back when she had claimed that she no longer had feelings for Sebastian but she didn’t know how to walk away.
The truth was she knew exactly how to walk away but she couldn’t because she had feelings for Sebastian, feelings that seemed to grow every passing day. And feelings that she didn’t want to face.
And now after a week, she was using the very same words on me.
“Come on Myra, you only said that.” Zivah argued.
I glared at her. “Exactly, don’t copy me. Make yo
Chapter 14. But I don’t do relationships. There was something about the way he looked at her, Regret or passion, or maybe a mix of both. Every time I saw Alex, I felt a pang of longing. The need to be with him was strong but the need for a normal safe relationship was stronger. I didn’t want to listen to my heart only then to regret ignoring my brain. I couldn’t be with him, not after all the decisions I made and the things I did. I couldn’t face him. So as I sat opposite Evan on our 5th date, I smiled as I saw him struggling to get the fries out of coke. Not surprisingly this happened every time with him. He claimed he liked fries in coke and then he would dip it in too long and it would get all soggy. “Dammit.” Evan cursed as the fries disappeared somewhere in the huge glass of coke.
Chapter 15. Yes, I’ll go on a date with you.I had spent most of the week looking for proof that Ray was the hacker but I couldn’t find any. He was good at hacking and covering his tracks. There was no possible way the code could be traced back to him and there was no back door that could show the location from where the hacking occurred.There hadn’t been any more hacking incidents but there hadn’t been any more progress in catching the hacker either.I was the only one who knew of Ray using the ‘4-4’ signature and every time I saw Athena which was almost every day, I would remember her and Ray kissing or Ray and that other girl kissing. I had devoted almost every second even outside the office in search of any proof and I was still standing at nothing.I slammed down the laptop, frustrated and annoyed. I needed coffee.Again.I made myself a cup of stron
Chapter 16. I think you would rule over a lot of hearts.“Where are we going?”“You’ll see.”“A hint?”“For the 5th time Myra, no I will not tell you where we are going. No, I will not give you any hint. And no I will not be throwing you in the ocean or kidnapping you.”I huffed, folding my arms under my chest. I turned to look out of the window trying to figure out where Alex was taking me.I kept raking my brain wondering the possible locations. Restaurants, 5 star hotels, museums, art events? Where do billionaires go on dates?And as we entered a building I looked over at Alex in surprise. “Where are we?”“Do you not have patience?” He groaned out. Entering the passcode for the gate.I shrugged. “No, not really.”He stopped the car in front of a building.“Your other flat?
Chapter 17. I'll buy you the whole damn garden.~~The date had taken a twisted turn and it was all thanks to my mouth that was not connected to my brain.“You will let me what now?” Alex questioned for the second time. He wasn’t moving, he wasn’t blinking, I was afraid he wasn’t even breathing.I tried to smile. “I will let you take me to another date?” I tried meekly.Alex blinked, shaking his head and standing up.“Fuck!” I cursed under my breath, knowing that the romantic moonlight date had turned into a drama filled night.“You know who the hacker is?” Alex looked at me with skepticism and a little distress.“Well.” I started, getting up as well. “Notknow. Just a hunch, you know?”Alex shook his head. “No I do not know. Who else knows this?”I sigh
What is your favorite series? Mine is Friends!!--Chapter 18. We can always spend the night. This time on bed.I have never liked hospitals.Most people don’t.It smelled too clean, of sickness and death. But then there was the air of hope and miracles too.We waited in the ER section, Ajay was the one who had called and was the first to arrive at the hospital. I sat on the chairs rubbing my nails against each other, the patience in me drowning as the nurses moved around with swift steps and stone cols faces.“What happened?” I asked, quickly standing up as Alex came. “Where’s Ajay?”“He’s gone to call Athena’s mother.” Alex informed.I remembered just yesterday Athena was crying about her mother and now this. I gulped as I felt a strong wave of sympathy flow for her. “I doubt she’ll come.&rdqu
Chapter 19. It would have worked, if it wasn’t for the wrong timing.“I didn’t do it!”“Please get into the car.”“But I didn’t do it!!! You have to understand.” Ray was screaming his lungs out, fighting the cops and trying to get out from their hold. “You have the wrong guy!”“Bloody fool.” One cop screamed in anger as Ray kicked his shin. The cop slapped him on the face, it was so hard that Ray’s entire face froze, his eyes opening wide. “Get this bastard in the car.” The cop ordered.This time Ray didn’t fight. Even from this far, I could feel the sting of the slap, poor Ray.“Are you watching it again?”I jumped up in shock, slamming the laptop shut. “No.” I squeaked out.Alex dropped down on the couch seat beside me, opening the laptop and watching the You
Woohoo! New chapter for you!--Chapter 20. Not every clownfish is called Nemo.~~“I still can’t believe Evan liked Athena. I mean how can anyone like her? She’s heartless.” I complained as I stuffed a fork full of Maggi in my mouth.“Maybe she’s just pretending you know.” Zivah said, trying to get the Maggi in her chopsticks.I rolled my eyes at her failed attempts at using the chopsticks. “Will you stop that? Just use a fork.”Zivah pouted, trying one more time before sighing and placing the chopsticks on the table with force. “Stupid long sticks, so useless. The people in Korean drama use it so effortlessly.”“That’s because they have been using it since childhood. For you, it’s been 10 minutes.” I muttered, almost finishing the Maggi on my plate. “Hurry up and eat it Ziv.&rd
Chapter 21. We are meant to be together. “Are you sure about this?”I continued scratching the back of my neck, staring at the page I had to sign before I could enter.“You don’t have to do this.”I have to, you have no idea how much.I thought to myself. Finally, I took a deep breath and sighed. I took the pen and signed my name in the book.“That way.” A disinterested hefty woman tilted her head at the door, not even glancing up as she continued to flip through an adult magazine. Both her legs on the table and her chair leaned back, she clearly didn’t care much about this job.I turned and smiled at Alex. “I am sure. I want to see him.”Ray Parker was going on trial in two days and I wanted to see him before I never had a chance to again. He was a friend at one point and I couldn’t carry this guilt around anymore.
