Nathan's POV "What's the update?" I asked Sylvester after I got into his car. He'd called me hours ago to meet up at the parking lot of a popular tower building in town. I wasn't able to meet up immediately because one of our servers got a bug and I needed to fix it together with the team. "Not even a hi or hello. Straight up to the real matter like a true Lancaster," he joked.These days, I don't find anything funny so I didn't laugh."What's up?" I asked again."What's up your ass? Someone got on your nerves," "Not really, work's been hectic," I lied. "What are we doing here?" "Well, some of my boys traced the girl who owned the phone down here because they thought she wanted to meet with someone," He stopped, took a bite from his hamburger. "And?" I asked impatiently."She lurked around the corners for a while waiting for someone or so we thought but two hours later, she left," "Did she make any phone calls?"He looked at me, then smirked. "Nah. She wasn't even with a phone,

Alicia's POV"Hey, how was Spain?" Nathan asked before turning to his parents. That wasn't the question I was expecting from Nathan. Maybe it was me who had too much of an expectation. After lying to me about visiting Barcelona and showing me some stupid vineyard, I expected an explanation or maybe an apology, not Hey, how was Spain? Also, I never expected to meet his parents at the door when I got back. They were waiting by the door. I can't really tell how I was feeling when I walked into the house with them but I knew at some point, every word that came out of my mouth was with fear. I'd never had a conversation with both of them in an enclosed space like this before. It was new and scary. "Good," I answered weakly. I purposely didn't let him know that I would be back home today because I was still mad at him. I'd promised myself to ignore him completely. "You have no right to come into my house without letting me know," "You're such a shitty person, Nathan," his mother answ

Alicia's POVMinutes after I tried to process what just happened around me to no avail, I stood up and went to my room. I was exhausted from the trip but at the same time, I could also use a drink.On the other hand, I was too exhausted to go back downstairs to pick a drink or something so instead, I sat on the floor of my room and laid down with my phone in my hand. I surfed through the internet looking for something interesting while I waited for sleep but that was all useless because nothing seemed to interest me. Instead, I closed my eyes and began counting, hoping that'll help. All of a sudden, I found myself in a dark space. I tried opening my eyes but it didn't work. I looked around me and all I could see was darkness. Not even a beam of light. I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and fear gripped me by the back of my neck. I couldn't turn to look at who it was because if I'd turned, I wouldn't see anyone. I heard laughter from one corner, when I looked, it was a younger me,

Alicia's POVAll through the night, I barely slept and my fingers never left my lips. I knew I was supposed to regret the kiss but why am I not totally regretting it? A side of me wants to walk away from the house and never look back while another part of me thinks it's no big deal. After I realised I was kissing Nathan and got back to my senses, I stood up from the bed and moved away. He also stood up and walked out of the room. I couldn't even look at him as he did. He tried saying something but I raised my hand, signalling at him to stop. After he left, I realised I was stupid enough to kiss my ex-husband.Usually, when I make silly and crazy mistakes like this, I end up regretting it for a week, but the more I remember the kiss I had shared with Nathan, the more I couldn't get it out of my head. The way his lips danced against mine, holding my breath and releasing it for me to breathe. His hands in my hair, and his tongue moving against my lips. I knew I was done for. "Good mor

Alicia's POV"Mrs Lancaster, it's ten, I need to lock up in ten minutes," Reluctantly, I dragged my eyes away from the system in front of me to look at the security man. The only thing that resonated with me about what he said was he'll be locking up the building for ten minutes. He was standing at the door, looking at me with so much concern."Thank you, Mr Allen. I'll start packing up," "Yes ma'am," He closed the door and walked away. I picked up my phone to check the time and realised I've been in front of my laptop for seven hours, designing, resdesigning and designing again. It was a never ending cycle.At four in the evening, I left the orphanage for the office because I wanted to meet with Mrs Cadry before leaving. She usually leave the office by five. By the time I saw her, she was in a hurry but left me with instructions to meet with the senior Architect. It was my first time seeing the man since I started work and it wasn't pleasant. He had so much to say about me wherea

Alicia's POV"Goodnight Alicia. See you tomorrow," I waved at Joe as I walked towards the car with Nathan beside me. He opened the car door and I entered. "Seatbelt please," he asked. I nodded before adjusting myself and fixing the seat belt. He closed the door and came into the car. He had a deep frown on his face as if something was bothering him but I didn't know how to ask him about it. Was I really in the position to ask him what went wrong?"How was your day?" I asked instead. "Okay," he replied. I decided to leave it at that before he gave me a second monotonous response. He probably has something on his mind and I shouldn't bother him with my unnecessary questions. Moreover, I made it clear to him this morning that the kiss meant nothing. Could that be the problem? I turned to look at him and he did the same at the same time. I quickly looked away. "Are you comfortable working at that place?" He suddenly asked. His grip on the wheel tightened and he said the word wit

Nathan's POV "How bad was it?" Alicia asked. She would be the first person I'll be telling about the horrible event of that night. Even the police and college administration body couldn't bring it out of me, not even my old girlfriend. They all had their suspicion of it being a hazing but I never told. It was the most embarrassing event of my life and it left me with some unspeakable aftermath. I felt a touch on my scar and when I looked down, it was Alicia. She was already beside her and I watched as she gently traced the outline of the scar with her fingers as if she would hurt me if she wasn't careful enough. "Pretty bad. I had to be stitched up and spent the rest of the semester at the hospital. I only went back for my exams. I almost lost my life and the doctor said I was lucky to still be alive," I narrated as I recalled the event. Even though I was able to summarise the story in a few words, it was more horrible than that. "It must have hurt so badly," Alicia said. I look

Alicia's POVThe next morning, I woke up in Nathan's bed. The light streaming in from the window caught my eyes as I opened them. I quickly closed my eyes and turned to the other side of the bed. My eyes went wide as I took in Nathan's sleeping form. I looked around the room and realized it was his. Before I could think too much about it, my brain went to the memories of all that happened the previous night. I guess I got tired at some point and ended up spending the night in his room. And on his bed! Shamefully, I took a second look at Nathan who was sleeping so soundly like a baby. My eyes traced his face and I wished I could trace his face with my fingers. I snapped out of my stupidity before I could do anything I'll regret. I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. I gave Nathan one look to see if he was awake and had caught me leaving his room. It was when I got to the living area that I saw my laptop still sitting on the table I left it. I glanced at the unfinish
