"Yesterday's victory had been clinched," Max said, lying on his bed, in a video call with Chloe, "Wished we could be celebrating it together." He still cringed within, as he still withheld the collaboration with Kylian from her. He wasn't sure how long he could keep up with the lie, but he didn't know how she would feel upon hearing about it. The longer it tarried, the more tense it got, as the effect of the consequences amplified."Yeah...me too," Chloe said, from her end. She was taking a walk in the afternoon, through a dazzling scenery, at a park. She seemed to be escorted by a guide through the new grounds she found herself on."You know," Max said, sitting up in bed, "the sunlight just happens to make you prettier than you are, Chloe.""Don't you have anything better to do?" she teased as she continued walking."Luckily for me, the weekend is already here, I can watch your face all I want." Max grinned excitedly, as the early morning sun rays crept in through his window, signali

Gray was cruising through the less busy streets. There was traffic but not as much as it would be on a working day, and that gave him the ease of navigating his way through the paths just as he had watched in the footage.He had begun his drive from the airport in the early hours of the morning, just to be sure that he didn't make any mistakes. His drive for perfection and accuracy had never been up like it was at the moment.He was on the verge of cracking it, but also on the verge of entering the part of the case that could possibly involve serious, physical risk. He needed not to be told to bring his firearm along. If his projections had been accurate, he was very liable to run into some sort of threats, which had to be resisted by force.Thoughts of the risky side of what he was about to do kept coming at him, but he paid them no mind. He had made up his mind to avoid physical confrontation as much as possible and only make a killing when it would be necessary. His main job was ju

Sofia was still in doubt about what Diego's intentions were for him. Why was he suddenly nice to her? She had been too weary to question his initial kindness of letting her go and even feeding her, and giving her a place to sleep after all those nights on the hard cold floor of the cell where Alejandro had left her to languish.She was still on her bed, feeling sleepy. It was difficult for her to have any sort of rest, considering the circumstances of her release. She had feared that Diego could sneak into her room at any point in the night and probably take advantage of her in her tired state...but he didn't after all her hours of waiting. Now she was exhausted in the early morning hours.Sitting up in her bed, she wondered how long Diego was going to keep up with setting her free. Was he going to violate Alejandro's orders to keep her in captivity? Was her freedom going to be a short-lived experience of what could have been? She decided to take it all as it came. Her spirit had been

Kylian drove angrily through the busy streets, to head for the hospital, as each bend and turn, took him further away from his flight. He eyed his wristwatch after every passing second. Forty more minutes…still enough time. Emma was in the back seat, seeming to play unconscious, he had taken a few glances at his rare view mirror to see her wide awake. The whole scenario did way more than annoy him, but he could do nothing but sit through it. Kylian was determined not to let any of her silly acts withhold him from his little getaway.He blamed her for the fall, none of that mess would have happened if she hadn’t gotten in the way in the first place. The feeling of regret wasn’t in any way bothering him and that bothered him even more. He could possibly have killed his child before it got the chance to breathe its first breath.“Fuck…” he whispered under his breath. Why did everything have to go wrong? Was it just another way of karma telling that he had fucked up for letting Chloe out

“Okay, thank you,” Anthony said as he hung up, sighing. He had business calls even on weekends. His work seemed to be the only thing that kept him a bit motivated at that point, after what had happened the day before.Anthony’s morning was going a bit slow. It had been a literal struggle to get himself out of bed. He had looked forward to a weekend with Ollie, but his plans had been put on hold after Helen had acted up the day before. He had called and texted to apologize but his mind wasn’t settled yet.He wanted the seemingly dreadful weekend to be over as soon as it had begun, as he sat on his balcony, with his feet up on a stool, peering at the city’s view in the distance. It all felt like an all too familiar sight- he finds a lady, only to have Helen ruin it all. What exactly did she want from them? He was desperately out of ideas of what he would do with his weekend, forcing him to resort to making an unsuccessful attempt at returning to his long-forgotten musical hobbies. He

“Why did you actually bring me here?” Max finally had the guts to ask the question that had been on his mind but was continually stopped by the flow of the moment. The part of him that wanted to enjoy the moment kept silencing the rational part of him that wanted to come out of that bout without any hurt.“Why did you come?” Debby asked, smiling in a teasing manner that brought a wave of regretful emotions running through his bewildered mind. Indeed, why had he come?Max had no answer for that. He just sat staring at the small table at which they had been sitting. He had interrupted their smooth easy-going conversation with his question, which he was regretting at the moment.“You seem to be missing something, Max.” Debby finally broke the ice that was trying to settle over their conversation. She seemed like she had been enjoying their conversation, and she still was. “Someone, maybe.""What now?" Max looked up at her, a bit bewildered by her insinuation."Or rather, you're scared of

"Thank you," Kylian said as he took the bags of clothes from the smiling housekeeper. He had done a little online shopping to make up for the clothes he had forgotten in the car."Anytime sir," his English was a bit shaky, but at least understandable. His smiles seemed fabricated, which Kylian believed to be either from the hotel's policy or the huge tip he had gotten from him.Kylian shut the door, as he examined his spoils of war. He hoped that they hadn't gotten his size mixed up with some other inappropriate ones. Even if they did, he hoped it would be some bigger size, as he had a sore displeasure for tight clothes.He stood in front of his mirror, meticulously watching how each piece of clothing fitted on his body, wondering what impression it would leave on Chloe. He grew nervous with each moment as the moment he had been anticipating was drawing closer and closer. He would actually be meeting Chloe, away from all the eyes in New York.The flight had brought him in in the early

Max was beyond furious. What the heck was actually going on? Had the whole trip to Abu Dhabi been some perfect hoax to get the both of them to be all alone to themselves? “No,” he knew Chloe to be smarter than that. She didn’t show any signs of having anything to do with Kylian after the way their relationship had ended.Could Kincaid have been that foolish to trail her all the way from one end of the world to the other? He knew that Kylian could be obsessed with having things go his way, but never knew him to be that desperate over anything. It all went on to prove the profound effect that Chloe had on him.He had hung up as he couldn’t bear the unruly sight of the both of them together. He got up from bed as he tried dialing her number again, but he just couldn’t get through to her. Was this karma coming back at him for almost falling for Debby’s histrionics? If it was, he deemed it unfair, as it had come at him rather too quickly.A split second of reconsideration and some resili
