After bathing, Paige came out of the bathroom and got ready for bed. She began to go through the songs she was going to rehearse with Sammy in school tomorrow since he had insisted that he wanted everything to be done within the next three days.She couldn't wait to be done with him so she wouldn't have to look at his face anymore.She thought about the issue with Lina and decided that she was going to ask Zach about it in person, and focused her attention more on the song she was going to perform in school and the other one she was going to perform at the upcoming concert.She did not realize when she fell asleep, and even when Zach called, she was too asleep to realize that her phone was ringing.Since she went to bed early, she woke up quite early. Seeing that she had gotten two missed calls from Zach, she decided that she was going to call him after getting ready for school.However, after taking her bath, her dad knocked on the door and told her that there was a parcel for her.
Zach stared at Williams as he spoke on the phone. He was surprised, though, because he had been with Paige about three hours ago, and she never said anything about wanting to speak with Williams or even having his number.He watched Williams, who was smiling from ear to ear, speak to Paige until the call ended.Afterward, he asked, "Umm... How did Paige get your number? Did you give it to her?"Williams shook his head, "No, I didn't. I'm surprised, though, that she called me. But, I guess it's a normal thing since I'm the best friend of her boyfriend.""Yeah," Zach said. "So, what was the call about?""Nothing much, she just said she would like to meet with me.""She did?""Yeah, I guess it must be something important," Williams said.He got up."You're leaving?" Zach asked. "But we've not even finished our meeting."Williams smiled, "I know, but come on. Paige Lawson, the beautiful and amazing Paige Lawson wants to see me, how can I say no? It's like my own girlfriend wants to see me
Paige stared at Zach as she contemplated the right answer to give him. Eventually, she sighed and said, "I am sorry, Mr. Zach, I haven't been honest with you about something.""Really? And what haven't you been honest about?" Zach asked."Well, I made a promise to someone, and that was the reason why I couldn't tell you because I did not want to break my promise."Zach nodded, "Okay, I'm still waiting for you to go ahead and break it."She chuckled, "Well, you know Barbie; the girl who gave up her spot for me at the Spark girls contest and also did her best to help me when I was faced with the issue concerning Link's girlfriend.""Yes, I know her," Zach said."It turns out she has the hots for your best friend, Williams.""What? Barbie has the hots for Williams?" Zach shook his head. "How is that possible? First of all, he's way out of her league, and I don't see her as his kind of girl. I mean, Williams loves many women, and they look a certain type of way. She definitely isn't one o
Zach and Paige spent the day playing by the beach, swimming, and sharing stories from their childhood.His phone rang and he answered it when he saw that it was from Hailey. "Hailey, it's been a while," he said while stroking Paige's hair."I wanted to confirm if this is the Zach I know or if it's someone else," she replied.He was surprised, "What do you mean by that?""I'm really surprised, Zach," she said. "I thought we were very close and you cared for me but it's surprising that I moved out of your house and you didn't even notice or try to find out why. I haven't been myself, I was diagnosed with a mental disorder and even attempted suicide but the one whom I considered my own never cared to call even once or check up on me.I don't know what happened to us or when we fell apart but I just want to use this opportunity to tell you how disappointed and betrayed I feel." As she spoke, Hailey began to cry and Zach was shocked by her words."I'm so sorry, Hailey," he quickly apologi
Zach stared at the naked Hailey and recalled William's words. He concluded that she wasn't in her right mind and quickly picked up the sheet, covering her with it."What is going on, Hailey?" he asked. "Do... Do you know who's sitting by you?"Hailey, who pretended not to be in her right mind, asked, "Who are you? Do I know you?"Zach wondered if people who suffered from depression also usually lost some of their memories. But then he shook the thought off his mind and said, "It's me, Zach. Your friend."She gasped in surprise, "Zach?" She got up and sat upright, allowing the sheets to fall off her body once again.As Zach stared at her bare chest, he picked up the sheets and covered her body, asking, "Why are you naked?"She shook her head, "Zach, you finally came to see me?"He sighed in relief, "Okay, it seems your senses are back. Hailey, I'm really very sorry. I didn't know you were going through something so serious, and I've just been...""It's okay, there's no need to explain,"
After Paige ran out of the room in tears, Hailey felt so happy. She had planned this moment meticulously and even hired a photographer. The plan was to take pictures of her and Zach naked, and anonymously send the pictures to Paige while ensuring that her face was not obvious in the picture, but Zach's face was.She didn't expect that it would turn out so much better and that Paige would arrive on her own. She planned to kill two birds with one stone; after taking the pictures, she would have sex with Zach and guilt-trip him into marrying her, leaving Paige sad and heartbroken. She didn't expect that Zach would agree so easily, but since they were planning to use Barbie to cause misunderstandings between Zach and Paige, she was hoping that during that period, she would get Zach to give up on Paige and marry her.Now that Paige had already seen things with her eyes, all she had to do was relax, and allow Williams and Barbie to continue their drama, and in the end, Zach would be all h
Candy lay on her bed crying. Her life had suddenly become one bad dream that she wished she could wake up from. How did things get to this point? The world seemed to have gone in reverse as Paige was now living her life while she was living a life worse than the one Paige used to live.She was now too ashamed to step out of the house or go to school yet her father wouldn't stop giving her fake assurances. Despite all his promises, nothing had worked out. No, this was definitely a bad dream and the time has come for her to wake up.An idea suddenly crept up in her mind and she widened her eyes. Paige became a sensation even before she was reunited with her father so someone must have helped her. Although she had many times accused Paige of sleeping with older men, she never had irrefutable proof. It was all based on assumptions.Now, she was going to find out who was helping Paige. No matter what it took, she would find him and strike a deal with him.Lina walked into the boutique with
Zach was still holding Paige in his arms when the doctor knocked and came into the room to check on him. "How do you feel, Mr. Fletcher?" He asked."Better, I guess," Zach replied. "Thank you so much, doctor, for coming when you did.""Just get as much rest as possible and I will be back tomorrow to check on you," the doctor said before leaving."You heard the doctor," Paige said to him. "Lie down and get enough rest, Mr. Zach. For the rest of the day, I will be your nurse and your PA. If there's anything you need, trust me to get it for you."Zach smiled, "Yes, ma'am. I will do just that but first of all, I need to speak with Williams."Zach received his phone from Paige and was about to call Williams when his phone began to ring."Speak of the devil," he said to Paige before answering the call."What did you do to Hailey, Zach?" Williams asked Zach the moment he answered the call.Zach was taken aback by the question because he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Williams."Hai
