Twenty-two: Interrogation
The chattering and noises of other students inside the cafeteria are audible.
I finished the last piece of orange and waited for Rodrick to chew his last apple.
When done, we agreed to go and I offered to give him a brief tour of our campus before finally heading to the soccer field.
“Are you usually this kind, Shane?” he asked while we strolled around the bleachers.
I turned to him and smiled.
“Not really, but since you are the best friend of Erwan which is my dear fiancé, I figured I should be nice to you.”
He chuckled.
“You’re interesting. Are you somehow in love with him now?”
A shrug escapes my shoulders before I let out a sigh and respond. “No, but who knows. Maybe if we try, we can somehow click.”
“Be careful, Shane.”
“Huh?”
“If you think you can’t stop yourself from falling in love with him, please make

Shane's POVThe man turned to my direction and adjusted his reading glasses. He shook his head and blink for probably five times before finally deciding that I am indeed real.The bark of the dog from the distance can be heard up here, but apart from that, the room is still and silent.Jeez, my fingertips felt like they were about to freeze.How come I did not thought that someone might be here? I was so sure that everything will go according to my plans.

The Fake Engagement Twenty-five: The shooting
Erwan led me to his car after the commotion inside his room. He is not talking to me, his eyes are fixed on the road as he drove.“Aren’t you going to ask about what just happened?” I started. I want him to say something, I want him to clear my accusations.He glanced at me for a moment and turned his gaze on the road again.“You don’t trust me, Shane.” He mumbled. It is barely audible, but I managed to catch every word that he said.“I am not making excuses for what I did. I am aware of my faults and actions and if you’ll give me another chance, I promise to trust you in every step of the way.” I don’t know what I am saying but I am not used to his silence, so I am trying to lighten the atmosphere as possible.“Look, Shane. I am not mad at you. I just don’t want you to put yourself in danger.”“But I am in danger.”“Yes, you definitely are
The Fake Engagement Twenty-six: Doubts
Until now, I am still thinking about the red note that Shane mentioned about. What was it? What was in the red note? Why is she accusing me as the one who sent it to her?“Mr. Fuenter, are you listening to me?” I shrugged my thoughts away when I heard his business-like tone again.“Yes, sir,” I responded.“Seems like you are thinking about something that’s far away. Mind sharing your thoughts?” I shook my head. I know that he is not interested in my thoughts.“No, sir. I am sorry, I am just thinking about who can be behind all of this.”“If you’re just listening attentively, you should have it figured out by now.” He said, annoyance in his tone.“Mr. Fuenter, this matter is very serious for me. It is a matter of life and death and you vowed to protect my daughter’s life.”“Of course, sir.”“Now, pay attention. Here is the

The Fake Engagement Twenty-eight: Trevilla
Erwan’s POVI don’t know what’s got into me. Maybe it is because of the happiness that I feel while being with her here that made me embrace her the moment I catch her.I felt her hands reaching for mine and held it as she turned to face me.We are alone together in this isolated sea, away from everybody. I tried to distract myself from being lost in her eyes but it didn’t work because I found myself cupping her cheeks. Before we knew it, our faces are just inches away from each other, our lips becoming closer and closer.I can’t stop myself from adoring her. She’s beautiful and sexy. The strands of her hair being blown by the wind, she closed her eyes and I took it as my cue to finally kiss her and wrapped my arms around her.At first, we are both not moving, we just enjoy the moment of being this close with each other. Then my lips started to move, and she respond to it.I pulled her muc

There’s too much traffic.” She kissed both of my cheeks and linked her arms to mine.“Oh, by the way, where is Liz? She wants to talk about something important, right?” she asked.“That’s what she said when she asked to meet up here.”We walked to a milk tea shop inside the mall because she told me that she suddenly felt thirsty.“She’s running
The Fake Engagement Thirty:
Erwan hissed in fury and tried to dial the number again, but to no avail, the receiver didn’t answer it.“He’s someone close, he’s watching you and everyone around you,” he said, standing up. He walks to and fro, his forehead creased while he snaps his fingers there and then. It doesn’t seem like he is talking to me, it is more like he is talking to himself. “I knew it, he has a plan. He is just waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. I need to figure out what he’s planning,” he mumbled, still pacing in the living room.“Erwan,” I said, holding his arm but it doesn’t seem like he heard me because he is still mumbling to himself.“Erwan!” I yelled and gripped both of his arms.He stopped and turned to me. His eyes looks dazed as if he is trying to figure out who I am. He narrowed his eyes and shook his head. He inhaled a deep sigh and released it in a few seconds.
