>* Never stop doing good. *****----- Joseph -----I closed my eyes for a brief moment as I allowed all her words to sink in before finally opening it back. " Mira... You do know that I care about you a whole lot, right? " I said slowly insinuating every word." I do. " It took her a while to answer... And when she did... I could almost feel the emotion in her voice.And for some reason... I could understand." Am sure you also know that I don't see you as a burden... Rather I see you as a part of me. I can never let go of... One which is super important and priceless. I will never cease being thankful for you, Mira... As you and you alone completes me. " I sighed in between my speech." You know, Mira... I sometimes find myself wondering... How my life would have been without you here with me. Would it really be worth living? Would I still be carrying the burden of bitterness and resentment towards my parents for abandoning me? Or would I be better? " " Mira... You are
>* You are unique and important. * ****----- Evie ----As much as I hated to admit it, sometimes I feel like the third wheel between Joseph and Mira.Though the duo had tried their possible best not to make me feel that way... Still I just couldn't help it.I am human after all... And no matter how strong I claim to be... I still find myself succumbing to my feelings and emotions.Though... Emotions can't be trusted as they are never stable and always fluctuating. Yeah... I never really had a close friend till I met Mira. And one thing I always wanted and prayed for is a best friend who would be mine and mine alone.One whom I won't have to share with anyone as I wanted my best friend to be exclusively mine.Meeting Mira... I thought my dream had finally come true until I heard about her and Joseph's long history together.To be honest... I was sad. The fact that I only came second... Hurt a whole lot.Perhaps it isn't meant to hurt and I was just feeling possessive.But

Boss, Mr Edison is trying to make a move. " " Let him... " He smirked before adding. " Then make him regret ever making a move. "" Sure, Boss. "" Good. " Joseph said as the call finally ended.

As the story will be proceeding in another series. You know, guys... Every single moment I spent writing this book was an adventure. I went through a variety of emotions while writing...
