Chapter 41 – Whispering
(Tara's POV)
When I opened my eyes, I was startled when I realized my head was resting on his lap. Blake was staring at my face, his eyes looked at me adoringly, hoping it was not my imagination while he brushed my hair with his fingers.
Did I just fall asleep? I guess I did. I could hear Sean purring and mumbling as he ran around the aisle.
“How was your sleep?” He asked, kissing my forehead.
“Like a log,” Surprisingly, I slept so deep, with no nightmares, and I was still on the couch. I did not even feel Blake resting my head on his lap.
“I’m glad to hear that.” He smiled, still stroking my hair.
“Where are they?” I asked and tilted my head to look for Matthew and Eric. Right now, I could only see Samantha clearing up the things she prepared a while ago.
“They left already,” He said, helping m

(Blake's POV)I closed my office door to ensure that even if Samantha would scream or curse, Tara and Sean would not hear us from the outside. While in the car, I told her that Tara would spend the two days with me in the penthouse, and she did not need to go to the office for two days. She got to read my message in the parking lot, and she has been giving me looks that say we needed to talk.“What are you talking about?” Samantha snapped at me as soon as the door was closed. She did not bother sitting down. We were just standing by the doorway when she threw me the question.“I already told you, Sam. Tara will stay here until we leave for China,” I repeated, touching my nape with one hand while my other hand was clenched into a fist. I always hated it when she questioned my decision, and this was the first time she disagreed with me. Usually, she and Sean would not go up here when I brou
The Perfect Lie Chapter 43 - Curious Tara
(Blake's POV)I left Tara exploring the room, and I went to the home bar and hoped to drown myself in liquor tonight, but as I was about to reach the bottle of whiskey, I changed my mind. I don’t want to have another trouble with her tonight.What is happening to me?I scratched my forehead and went to the kitchen. Instead of drinking, I checked on the food she could eat just if she got hungry. I went to my office to pass the time and divert my attention and energy with papers I needed to review. I sat down on my swivel chair, and the sealed brown envelope caught my attention. The familiar logo embedded in the envelope and the tape used to seal it told me it was from Matthew. Printed on top of it where the word - ConfidentialWhat else is there to know when she told me everything? I placed it back to the top of piles of folders and took the next folder. I opened my computer and studied the details i
The Perfect Lie Chapter 44 - Surprise Guest
(Tara's POV)Blake looked at me as if he had something in his mind but could not share it with me. I shoved the doubts away in my mind, but sometimes I felt there were more things to discover. I stopped in front of his bedroom, and I turned to him.“Why does Mr. Williamson not allow anyone to go to his room?” I asked again, just curious. Samantha and Sean’s words echoed that I could go anywhere in his house except his bedroom.He opened the door, left it ajar. “Privacy, Tara,” He answered briefly. “His life interested a lot of people much that he couldn’t enjoy his private life anymore, and his bedroom is the only place where he could be himself, think about himself, and will share it only with someone he...” He stopped.I lifted an eyebrow, waiting for him to complete his answer, but
The Perfect Lie Chapter 45 - Shades of Color
(Tara's POV)I was ready to give in, not caring about myself, his world. All I could think now was Blake. As his hand crept down to the hem of my shirt, I heard someone clearing his throat that I was sure was not my imagination because I could feel Blake stiffen and utter a curse.A while ago, I was burning, but it was like a mass of snow swept over my body as he turned around to cover me. I crossed my legs and closed my eyes, wishing the earth would swallow me.“Good morning, Blake. Can we talk?” He asked that his voice was calm, soothing but with authority in his tone. Blake breathed a deep sigh before nodding his head but remaining firmly planted in his place. He must have been aware of what I was feeling at the moment because he refused to walk towards Mr. Williamson.“You must be Tara.” I heard him say that I peeked from his back. Still blushing, I greeted him. &
The Perfect Lie Chapter 46 - The Lies
(Tara's POV)“Miss?”I think I heard a voice or did I just imagine it?“Miss, we’re here,” The male voice said again. He was probably deciding whether he would just let me sit for a while or drag me out of the taxi. I blinked, realizing I was not imagining it. I am really here, and the taxi driver stopped the car in front of our apartment. I paid him and got myself out of the car, taking my belongings except for my heart and soul which I left with Blake.Walking without my heart and soul made me realize I was nothing more than a robot. I was glad, though, my brain, my useless and stupid brain, was still with me. I was relieved that Stella wasn’t here yet. I would have more time on my own and I could decide whether I would like to cry all day or just... maybe I have no other choice but to cry until I have no more tears to shed.I took my key out of m
The Perfect Lie Chapter 47 - Unexpected Guest
(Blake's POV)I walked to the large glass window of the hotel and looked at the colorful lights on the streets. This was the first night that Samantha and I could take an early rest, the night that I hated because it meant not using my energy and mind at work. Although, I believe she deserved it after days of working hard with me.I heard the ‘clanking’ sound of her stiletto shoes and saw her reflection walking toward me. She stood beside me, sighed deeply as she stared at nothing. In her hands were glasses of liquors, and she handed me a rocks glass of whiskey, while she has a brandy for hers.“It’s been two weeks,” She sighed, holding the glass with her two hands. She turned her back to Sean, playing quietly with her toy robot on the couch. She took a sip from her glass and waited for me to say something.I heaved a deep sigh. I was also waiting for her to say something but
The Perfect Lie Chapter 48 - Mistaken as Victor
(Blake's POV)“What are you doing here?” Her eyebrows drew together, and her eyes flickered with anger.“Hi, Tara!” I greeted as my heart hammered my chest, hurting me to see Tara again as she stared at me furiously, but only the chicken greeted me back. It clucked as it escaped from her hands. “Get out!” She said, looking down, but her breathing was quick and shallow. When I didn’t move, she looked at me, squinting her eyes. “I said get out!” She shouted, not minding the shocked reactions of her sisters beside me. I heard Ivana mumbling something, but Gianna hushed her right away.I closed my eyes, thinking I deserved all these. Tara has all the right to get furious at me after everything that had happened. I heaved a sigh as I walked to the doorway, but I was not exactly giving up. I would get out of her sight for a while, stay in the car, and
The Perfect Lie Chapter 49 - Three Yes in Vote
(Blake's POV)The rain has not stopped yet, and I was praying it won’t. I stood by the doorway listening to the hissing rain. Perhaps if it was just a drizzle, Tara must have pushed me away. I suddenly worried about their place because there were no lamp posts outside, and the only lights came from the inside of the house. My heart was aching as I recalled the day her father died, and I was furious again.“Uhm... Blake?” I turned around to see Ivana. She smiled shyly. “Please join us in dinner,” She invited.I nodded and followed her, although I was not hungry yet. I saw Tara sitting on the head seat, Gianna sat on her left-hand chair and Jules beside her. Ivana pulled the chair on Tara’s right-hand but did not sit there. She sat on the next chair beside it. I assumed it was for me, so I sat down quietly. “What’s wrong?” Gianna gave Jules a look
