Melvin stared at Paige in surprise and back at Lina. He found it hard to believe that Paige had done such a thing because it wasn't consistent with her personality.Paige had already made up her mind that she wouldn't give Lina the chance to ruin the relationship she had with her father."Oh, stop pretending, Lina," Paige told her. "What do you think? That by playing all these little pranks, you'd ruin my relationship with my father? Why are you so selfish, by the way? I was separated from him for eighteen years; you've enjoyed this love for so long. Give me a chance to get to know my father better and stop all these unnecessary pranks because you're jealous. They won't take you anywhere, and won't change the fact that I am 'Paige Melvin Lawson.'""I'm sorry, both of you. Sorry, Lina, but just go back to your room. Come on, Paige, we need to talk." Melvin said to both of them."Yeah, I do too," Paige replied.Melvin held her hand and led her to the room while Lina stood there starin
Paige spent time, talking to Zach on video after freshening up, until she began to feel sleepy."You should get enough sleep, although I doubt that is possible now," Zach told her after hours of speaking to each other. "It's already two a.m., and since you're going to school tomorrow, I should allow you to sleep.""But I really don't want to sleep," Paige replied."Yeah, I don't want you to sleep either, but it's very important for you to do so.""Alright, in that case, goodnight, Mr. Zach." She said."Goodnight, Sunshine."After the call ended, Paige thought about how amazing her day had been until she finally drifted off to sleep.The following morning, she got dressed for school, and when she came out, her dad was waiting for her so they could have breakfast together.Lina was also at the dining table. Paige didn't know what her dad had said to Lina, but the latter smiled at her and said, "Good morning, Paige.""Good morning, Lina," she replied with a smile. "Good morning, Dad, sor
Minutes earlier, Zach sat in his office, staring at Paige's picture with a smile on his face. He was thinking about how she would react to the surprise he wanted to give her when his phone rang.Seeing that she was the one, he quickly answered the call.He answered the call and placed the phone by his ear, but heard nothing from Paige."Hello, Sunshine. Are you there?" He kept asking; however, there was no reply.He repeatedly called out Paige's name until five minutes elapsed. Afterward, he concluded that her network might be bad and hung up.He waited, just in case she tried calling again, but she did not, so he tried calling her.When he called her, however, she did not answer the call. He kept on calling more than six times, but she still did not take his calls. He became worried and realized that something was wrong.Now that the misunderstanding between him and Paige had been cleared up, he was convinced that she would not ignore his calls for any reason.Besides, she had been t
Hailey paced up and down, waiting for Williams' call. She stared at her wrist, which she had slit, and smiled. "It was all worth it," she said.Having understood her brother, Williams, all these years, she knew that if she merely requested, he would not have agreed to go against Zach's relationship for her sake. So she had deliberately put up the drama of fainting on the day Zach confessed his feelings to Paige.She also slit her wrist because she knew he would not let her die, and she'd eventually succeeded in blackmailing him emotionally. Now that he had agreed to help make Zach hers, she felt a lot at ease.All she had to do was sit back and wait for the results to happen. He had left the house, telling her that he wanted to observe Paige for a few days to understand her better; the things she liked, and what she spent most of her time doing. That way, he'd be able to know how best to win her over and create misunderstandings between her and Zach.She was waiting for his call beca
Williams drove Barbie straight to her house. Once they arrived in front of her apartment, he opened the door of his car for her to come out."Thank you very much," she said to him and began walking towards her door.He stood for a while, staring at her, and a plan suddenly formed in his mind.He went after her and said, "Hold on, Zach asked me to see that you get home, so, I should make sure you actually get inside the house.""Alright," she nodded.As they walked towards her door, he asked, "Do you stay alone? Or, do you live with your parents?""I stay alone," she replied. "My parents aren't in the country right now, so, I'm all by myself.""That's interesting. Okay....so, I guess I can....""Would you like to come in?" She asked. "I mean, I could offer you a glass of water or wine, or something. Just to show my appreciation for everything you've done for me and Paige, today.""Okay, let's go in." He replied.He followed her into the house and sat on the couch in the living room."N
After leaving Blanca and Co, Zach had his driver, whom he had earlier called, drive them to Paige's school. It was a little late at this time, but they were allowed to drive to the parking lot, and Zach got into the passenger seat of Paige's car.Rather than going to the driver's side, she stood by his side and said, "Please, can you drive, Mr. Zach?""Why do you want me to drive?" Zach asked.Paige smiled, "Because I love staring at you. I want to watch you while you drive."Zach shook his head, smiling, "In that case, hop in, Sunshine. You know I can do anything for you."Paige happily got into the car, while Zach moved to the driver's side and drove her back to her father's house.Once they stopped at the entrance, Paige looked at her watch and said, "Today I'm home early. It's just a few minutes past eight.""Yeah, I don't want us to make your dad unhappy in any way," Zach replied. "Will it be possible to see you tomorrow?""Of course," Paige replied. "I do have a lot to do in sch
Paige opened her eyes in the morning and began to get ready for school as quickly as she could. She came out of her room, and saw her dad and Lina, waiting for her at the dining table. She joined them at the table and took her seat.Seeing that her father was all dressed up for work, she smiled, "You're looking handsome and sharp today, Dad. I've never seen you leaving for work so early.""Yes, I have a very important meeting," he replied.Lina, who was sitting at the table, asked, "Can we eat, Dad? I'm running late.""Okay, dear," Melvin replied.Paige briefly regarded Lina, seeing that the dress she wore was the same as the one Zach had recently gotten for her. Paige decided not to comment on it and focused her attention on the food in front of her.Paige was about to take a spoonful into her mouth when someone rang the doorbell. Lina got up, ran towards the door, and opened it while both Paige and Melvin focused on the door to see who it was.It turned out to be a delivery man a
Once they got to the class, Paige looked at the guy who had held her hand and pulled her hand from his hold."Thanks for that," she said to him.Afterward, she turned and wanted to walk away, but he said, "Hold on."As she turned and looked at him, she realized that she was seeing him for the first time."Are you a new student?" She asked.He chuckled, "New student? Paige, I should be asking you that question.""Me?" Paige shook her head. There was no need to go into an argument with him, so she said, "If that is all, excuse me.""I said hold on, don't be so fast.""What is it?" She asked. "You helped me back there, and I said thank you.""Well, there's a reason why I helped you, Paige Summers.""Paige Summers? So you know my old name?" She asked."Well, yeah, because we are partners." He replied."Partners? What does that mean?""Are you always this clueless?" He asked. "Everyone knows about the music project, and you're my partner.""I was paired with you? But how can that be? The l
