"Nothing, I'm just saying," Luke mumbled and walked towards the toilet leaving Leah staring at his back with a bad feeling. Soon Luke came back again, then said, "Your life was ruined once because of a billionaire, why would you want to sacrifice your happiness once again by dealing with people from the same background..." Luke half-whispered.
Leah shook her head, not understanding Luke's strange behavior. "Adrian is different from Jerome, don't compare the two of them! Seriously, What's wrong with you!" Leah turned around leaving Luke to stand behind her unresponsive.After managing her feelings that were a little messy because of Luke's words, Leah returned to the dining table where Adrian's family was talking while occasionally bursting out laughing."Hey, you're back!" said Adrian while wrapping his arms around Leah's waist. Leah nodded and smiled broadly, looking at Adrian's face, which was red from the alcohol he had drunk.Luke's woLeah bit her lip, choosing to ignore Luke's message. After turning off his cell phone, he walked over to Mia who was sitting on the edge of the pool, hugging her knees."Hi," said Leah then sat down next to Mia. Mia turned her head, her face looked very puffy. Suddenly guilt hit Leah, "Are you feeling better?" asked her, putting her arm around Mia's shoulder.Mia shook her head, "It feels like a big rock stuck in my chest until I couldn't breathe, I've never felt this way just because of a man..." Mia sobbed, she covered her face with her hands, tears dripping from between her fingers.Leah was silent, she didn't know what to say. After reading Luke's message to her earlier, she couldn't just close her eyes and pretended that Luke liked Mia too."Do you think Luke doesn't like me?" Mia asked while sobbing occasionally."I don't know, I'm not good at reading people's minds, but I think so, which man doesn't like you, I mean you
"Can you explain what happened?" asked Leah, by that time she and Adrian were already in their room. Adrian stood by the window, gazing at the artificial lake and golf course which were visible from his room on the third floor."Look, I'm sorry for not telling you, but I did that so we can stay together..." Adrian said after he turned around and met Leah who was crossing her arms in front of her chest with a grim face.Leah shook her head, not having a good feeling at all. She knew something shocking would come out of the mouth of Adrian, the person she trusted the most in the whole world."Tell me, what did you tell your mom to get her to accept me?" Leah asked, her voice shaking.Adrian rubbed his face frantically, he held both of Leah's arms, "Please don't leave me, I did that because I wanted everything to run smoothly ..." Adrian didn't even dare to answer Leah's question. Leah let go of Adrian's hand slowly, disappointment marked on
The plane landed smoothly at JFK airport, Leah stepped fast out of the airport, her face partially covered by a mask. Even though all her business with Jerome was over, she still frequently worried that someone might follow her.In the taxi she was pensive, thinking about what she would do after this. She must do something for her life because after all the money she has will run out. If she stayed in New York, she will also continue to be haunted by the shadows of Jerome and Adrian. Should she follow Jessica's advice to move to another country?Jessica? Ah, how was she right now? After the prosecutor's office confiscated almost all of Jerome's property for inspection? Leah suddenly felt worried about her sister's condition? Could Jessica survive?But Mindy's words telling that the person who pushed her was Jessica made Leah's feelings change.Jessica was indeed her older sister, but what Jessica did was completely unforgivable. Le
"Why don't you just show up as yourself?" Henry asked in surprise as he looked at Leah's different appearance from head to toe."It may be safe there, but appearing as Leah Abigail will make it difficult for Suzy, all the nuns are very loyal to Jerome," Leah replied as she adjusted the wig on her head.Henry nodded his head, "Okay! So now we are a married couple that Suzy once saved?" said Henry repeating their disguise plan. Leah nodded and chuckled, "Don't worry, some police officers are even still there and are still looking for evidence, nothing will happen," Leah tried to calm Henry's visible panicked face.Henry took a deep breath then let it out slowly, his fake mustache tilted a bit because he was breathing too hard. Leah laughed and adjusted Henry's mustache. "Okay, you ready?" asked Leah, rubbing her palms together. Henry nodded, "Hell Yeah!"As Leah had expected, several policemen seemed to be on guard everywhere, making Leah an
Mindy immediately refused Leah's invitation to move to Paris, she chose to stay with Donna for a while until she recovered. She was sure, Jerome would not dare to disturb her ever again."But I can't leave Mindy here, I don't want to burden you..." said Leah as she chatted along with Donna.Donna shrugged, "I don't feel burdened at all, besides you and Adrian gave me a lot of money, it made things easy for us. Mindy is like my own sister, I'm not having any trouble in taking care of her. And also, in a few weeks, she's already can sit in a wheelchair."Donna took a deep breath and then touched Leah's shoulder, "Just go to Paris if it makes you feel safe, don't worry about us here," she said earnestly. Leah couldn't hide her emotion, she looked down and rubbed the corners of her eyes."So you broke up with Adrian?" Donna asked, her face looking very sad because she knew how hard it was for them to be together.Leah sighed."I don't know,
Leah's plane landed smoothly in Paris Charles De Gaulle, slightly weak from Jetlag, Leah pulled her suitcase and walked towards the lobby, Henry must have been waiting for her there. As expected, Henry and the woman who must have been his girlfriend, waved from a car with an open hood."Bienvenue Leah!" said Henry cheerfully as he stepped forward to give Leah a short hug. "This is Esmee, my beloved lover who I often talk about," Henry said introducing Leah to Esmee. Leah came forward to kiss Esmee on both cheeks, which was what French people do whenever they see each other."Come on! You must be tired," Henry called after he tucked Leah's suitcase into the trunk. Leah nodded and sat in the back. Since it wasn't too cold, Henry left the hood open so Leah could enjoy the view freely.Along the way Henry and Esmee took turns telling Leah everything that they had been through, making Leah feel very calm because at least she had friends here.
Leah walked down the bustling streets of Paris feeling lighter, was it because Adrian had just called her? She shook her head, unsure of her feelings. Now that she would just take it easy, the life she was leading was so tense and tiring, it was time for her to ease up on her rhythm.She turned in a corner, her steps were fixed on a bakery that looked very attractive from afar. Ever since she was in school, the thing she always wanted was to sit in front of a cafe in Paris with a cup of coffee and a piece of warm croissant while watching the passers-by in Parisian fashion."Bonjour, puis-je avoir un café noir chaud et deux croissants au chocolat?" said Leah in French, still stuttering because she had only learned it a while ago. The woman across from her nodded, then served Leah without a smile making Leah wince in confusion.She pulled out an empty chair and sat on it. While sipping her coffee, she suddenly remembered her older sister,
Damien sighed,"Can we talk about something else? I'm not comfortable talking about it..." he said after a moment of silence. Leah waved her hand, "Yeah of course! Sorry, I'm not sensitive enough," Leah mumbled a little guilty. Damien smiled a little, "No problem," he said then put his hands into the pockets of his jeans.While chatting lightly, a few moments later they finally arrived at the restaurant they were going to. "Well, sit here, I'll order the meal directly to my friend," Damien said while blinking one of his eyes. Leah nodded, she looked around her, several people seemed to be busy chatting while enjoying their food.Leah was rested her face on her hand, while suddenly she remembered something. She, Adrian, and Damien sat together in the restaurant where she was sitting at the time, they chatted while enjoying steak and wine, but the appearance of a woman interrupted their togetherness, Leah closed her eyes remembering who the woman with th
