One Way Trouble
"What are you doing!" Jessica exclaimed in annoyance for the nth time, using her back to push away Aaron as her hands were coated with marination which she had prepared for the chicken. He stumbled backwards due to the force. He put both of his hands up in a defensive position. "I am just trying to help you." He fortified himself. She narrowed her eyes at him and pointed at the pan that was clutched in his hand. "Did I say I wanted that?" She raised a brow in questioning manner. He shook his head and put the pan on the counter. "I just thought you might need it, so I prepared myself." He replied with an innocent smile and blinked his lashes. She heaved a deep sigh at his response. She could not even be angry at him because he was just so adorable. He walked closer to her and held her shoulders with head hanging low. "I just don't feel good that you are doing all the hard work and I am of no help." He admitted. She placed her palms on either side of his face and pressed soft peck on
One Way The mysterious man
When Stephanie ran away from her hoise, she didn't have anywhere to go. At that vulnerable moment, an unexpected person appeared as a silver lining to her dark cloud. The man whom she had approached as a Predator, wanting to use him in her game of lies and revenge. However fate had different plans. Raiden Kingston, in her eyes was a bad guy, a villain, her enemy. After all her father would not be in prison if he had not backed up Blair in the case. Since the beginning, it was his fault. He should not have allowed Blair to the open a dead case. He had done the work of adding fuel to the fire. It was astounding, even to Stephanie herself, how Raiden went from being the devil of her story to being her saviour in hard times. She didn't realise when her gratitude towards him turned into admiration and then, to much more. Her initial impression of him had completely disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by the feeling of something that the world referred to as love. She did not even know t
One Way Stephanie!?
"Wan? Wan!" He snapped out of his dreamland after Blair's multiple attemps of trying to catch his attention. "You said you have some information." She urged him to speak further by tapping the back of his hand. He used his tongue to wet his suddenly dry lips. He took a huge gulp, trying to maintain a casual demeanor.When Wan called up Blair to tell her he had a lead, he never intended to reveal everything to her. Not until he had concrete evidence. Though he was hiding it for now, he had to warn her of the possible threat. That's why he had asked her to meet up."The thing is that," he swallowed down the thickness forming inside his throat. "Doing some more searching, I think, your aunt is not the perpetrator. Or atleast, not the only one." He informed.Blair shifted in her position. Without reacting much she just waited for him to speak further. She had an idea of where that conversation was going, but she could not reach any conclusions. Specially, when she was secretly hoping for
One Way Danger
Raiden was happy. After a long time, him and Jessica had spent a whole day together. They reminisced their older days, when they were just carefree kids. Lazing around, watching Spider-Man and striving on junk food.That day, they did the same. Watched Avengers, ordered a huge pizza with loads of cheese and snacked on the tons of sweets that Jessica had given him. It was such an unhealthy day, but every moment was worth it. It was like going back in time and living their childhood once again.Time flied like wind, and in bat of an eye, it was already near midnight. Since it was late, he insisted her to stay for the night. She went to her room to change. While working in the long corridor, her eyes fell on the door at the end of the lane. It was Stephanie's room. Though Jessica was okay with Raiden housing her, it did not mean that she trusted her. It was too early to let their guard down.'Let's have a talk with her.' With this thought, she proceeded towards the younger girl's room. Ex

One Way Threat
"Careful!" Raiden exclaimed when he saw Stephanie trying to sit up straight. He rushed to her side and put a couple of pillows behind her back. She laid on the soft pillows and moaned in pain while holding her chest. He instinctively rubbed her back and squeezed her arm to help her cope with the pain."Are you all right? Do you need something?" He asked, still holding her securely. She gulped and looked at him with shy eyes, just to find him staring back at her with eyes full of concern. They stayed in the same position for about 3 seconds before he pulled back and faked a cough. She dropped her eyes back down at her hands."Here, It's time for a medicines." He held out a few pills in his palm and the glass of water in other hand. She mentally gagged at the site of those bitter medicines, but took them anyways. She silently thanked him, avoiding his eyes at all costs. He heaved a deep sigh and sat next to her."Why did you leave? You were aware of what dangers awaited you and yet you

"I really have no idea." Aaron chuckled when Blair gave him a questioning stare. As per Miguel's wish, her and Calvin visited the Andrews mansion. They found Aaron and Mr Park in the living room. However, the older couple was nowhere to be seen. She wondered what could be the reason behind the invitation."They were fighting again. Dad's health is getting worse." Aaron spoke up, out of the blue. Mister Park nodded his head in agreement."Mr Andrews is looking into divorce lawyers." He revealed. "At first I thought it was not that bad because they were attending marriage counseling. But now, things doesn't look that good.""Dad is planning to get a divorce!? Why didn't you tell me?" Aaron exclaimed, feeling disappointed. If he had known everything from the beginning, he could have tried to solve it."I didn't want to hide it from you, but your father asked me not to involve you.
