Save Him 121|Her Dirty Little Secret
They were at a Porsche dealership in Rock Castle in less than ten minutes. The salesman went above and beyond to make them feel like superstars, showering them with his first-class treatment while he tried to sell them one of the most expensive cars in his fleet.Levi would have signed the paperwork for a Cayenne Coupé if Natalie didn't storm out of there, annoyed out of her mind, and they spent a few minutes arguing on the sidewalk."Come on! What the hell was wrong with that car? It's a solid family car!" Levi demanded as he leaned down to stare at her eye level.She stood her ground, refusing to back the hell away from their argument. "It was insanely priced! I told you I need something small and simple. No one drives such fancy cars in Sparrow Beach!""Okay," he relented as he held up his hands. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to get the best for you.""I don't need the best," Natalie explained. "I just need something practical.""Fine, let's go find something practical then!" He claspe

Levi had reserved a table at Skyline, a restaurant on the rooftop of The Castle, one of several hotels owned by Van Holt Industries.The reviews Natalie had read on their way were mostly positive. Every man and his dog who had left a five-star rating couldn't stop raving about their 'out of this world' roof garden dining experience, vibrant ambience, and stunning views of Rock Castle's sunsets.To her disappointment, though, nothing much was said about the food. But then again, everyone who lunched and dined at Skyline wasn't there for the food. The place was a well-known networking hub for the bigwigs and wannabes of the entertainment industry, and if it wasn't for Levi, there was no way Natalie could have secured a booking.She looked up from the elegant leather-bound menu, and when she found him staring at her with a small smirk on his face, she dropped her gaze back to the laminated pages in her hands.Natalie knew he was thinking about their tryst at the boutique.It was all she'

"Mr Van Holt," Mark stood up and shook the man's hand while Natalie gawked at him, taken aback by the uncanny resemblance to his son."Mark, Son, we've received complaints of a public disturbance. If you don't keep it down, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave.""Our apologies, Mr Van Holt. We got carried away a little," Mark apologised as he sat down again."Son? What do you have to say for yourself?"Levi scoffed and stared into the distance. When it was obvious he wouldn't get an answer from him, Levi's father turned his attention on Natalie."And who do we have here? Could the young lady perhaps be responsible for all this chaos?"Natalie was about to introduce herself when Levi looked up and glared at his father. "Leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with any of it."The older man stared at her for some time, his eyes shifting between her face and Levi's arm wrapped possessively around her shoulders, and all Natalie could do was squirm in her seat, unsure what to say
Save Him 124|Million Dollar Questions
After the crazy morning she'd had, Crush was everything Natalie didn't need. Noisy, packed and chaotic. She wanted to bail as soon as she arrived, and if it wasn't for her curiosity about Colleen, she wouldn't even have set foot inside.But her compulsion to get to the bottom of the truth far outweighed her desire for peace and silence. So she bravely waded through the packed room and did her best to avoid bumping into the sweaty, intoxicated crowd swaying to the latest anthem on the dance floor.She'd almost reached the VIP booth where Emily and the other three ladies were waiting for her when a long shadow loomed over her, blocking her path.Sheer terror rooted Natalie in place when she looked up and found herself ensnared in the moss-green pools of Andrei's eyes.His lips twitched upwards in a slow smile, but the rest of his devilishly handsome face remained as cold as ever. "Well, well, what have we here?""Mr Ivanov," Natalie managed to say in a surprisingly steady voice. But the

"Please, Daisy, this is important." Natalie gently touched her arm and gave her a pleading look. "Did Jewel overdose that night? You don't have to give us the details. Just a simple yes or no will do."Whatever Daisy had seen that night must have been so horrifying because she'd turned as white as a sheet of paper, and the fear in her eyes was almost palpable. "I can't—I'm sorry. Aunty Viv…She made me sign an NDA, and if she finds out I told someone, she'll kill me."A month ago, Natalie would have thought she was exaggerating, but after seeing firsthand what Aunty Viv was capable of and the crowd she hung out with, she didn't blame Daisy at all for wanting to keep her mouth shut."I thought this was just a normal meet up, and you wanted to trade tidbits about clients," she said as she reached for another glass and gulped it down in one go before she grabbed her Chanel handbag and draped it over her shoulder. "But I can see you're about to dig your own graves. I want no part of this!"
Save Him 126|Timeline-Part 1
When Levi came to pick Natalie up from Crush after his meeting with the security team wrapped up earlier than he'd anticipated, her plan to piece together Colleen's timeline before she vanished was still that—a very vague plan.She didn't want him to panic or raise his hopes until she had solid proof or a promising clue, at the very least. So when he asked about her afternoon, Natalie was evasive."How did your meeting go?" she asked as she followed him out of the club to the waiting car at the entrance."Not as well as I'd hoped. We don't have any new leads, but at least we know now Colleen's not locked up overseas." Levi opened the door for her and gently pushed her inside.They were on the move as soon as he slipped in beside her. Zachary and Carlos made small talk with her for the ten-minute ride to Green Point.Levi invited the two men in for a nightcap, but they declined. They were eager to get home and get some shut-eye."Are they married? Do they have kids?" Natalie asked as t

Still not sure what she was looking for this time, a disappointed Natalie scanned through Colleen's Instagram again. She and Emily had spent most of their afternoon scouring the socialite's page for clues, but nothing in the missing woman's posts before her disappearance had given them any hints as to her fate.After a few minutes of mindless browsing, she scrolled through her phone and sent Seth a text, asking for a copy of the file he and Mark had shown her earlier.Natalie couldn't believe her eyes when her email chimed with the attachment. She'd expected the PI to give her a hard time or at least refer her to Levi."Okay, let's see this," she murmured as she accessed the file and opened up a PowerPoint presentation to plot out Colleen's timeline.For two hours, Natalie lost herself in Seth's detailed notes on the case and the report from the doctor in Smiths Town. By the time she pushed her laptop away, she was still no closer to the truth, but she had a starting point.October 28
Save Him 128|Bound To Fail
After his fight with Natalie, Levi wasn't in the mood to keep working. In fact, he wanted to storm back into her room and demand they talk things through. But, duty called. The server wouldn't bring itself back online.So he drifted back to the kitchen, grabbed a few slices of pizza and an ice-cold beer from the fridge and logged back in.He spent the next two hours barking instructions at the dev team to get the server up and running again. The longer they were offline, the more money he lost. And if there was anything he hated more than fighting with Natalie or not knowing where his twin was, it was losing money.He was still on the phone, lost in the abyss of troubleshooting and patch deployment when a vacant-eyed Natalie strolled past him in the living room in that same eerie way she'd done the night before.Tonight, though, Levi was prepared for her. He cut the video call, sprung to his feet and dashed after her, stopping her before she could slip out of the front door.Careful n
