“You help me cover up Maya’s real identity. With that, I’ll make sure Maya would never get Alexander. They could play around and meet like this, but they would never get married.” Mrs. Simons grinned devilishly, “If you help me, I will make sure you win in the end.”
“Alexander… will be mine?”
Mrs. Simons nodded and Stephanie, who felt so lost and in pain at the moment, agreed to help Mrs. Simons without hesitation. Stephanie thought it made sense. If Maya discovers the truth, it would be a happy ending for her, and Alexander- Maya would be better than Stephanie in every way. She would be richer, more famous, and a better match now for Alexander.
She knew she could not let that happen.
Like her father always told her, she must always be perfect, and she was not allowed to lose. Stephanie glanced at Maya and Alexander as she said to Mrs. Simons, “I want Maya out of Russia after the party.

Alexander then pulled Maya back, and having lost her balance, Maya ended up hugging Alexander. Maya turned her face towards Alexander’s. She could smell the faint woody and fresh scent that used to be her favorite scent. She felt the intense chemistry once again.Her heart was beating like crazy, her pupils dilated, and she could not think straight. All Maya could do was look at Alexander, and in that instant, almost immediately, all her defenses broke down. She thought to herself, how unfair. All Alexander had to do was show himself to me, and I was back to being the doe-eyed girl that was irrevocably in love with him.The thought of it infuriated Maya. She promised herself never to be in the same position again. She promised not to associate herself with Alexander because nothing good ever came out of it, but there she was, being swept off her feet so effortlessly.“How are you? Have you been eating your meals right and now skipping until

Alexander let her sleep for a while longer to sober up. He removed his coat and used it to tuck Maya since it was cold outside. Alexander gently patted Maya to help her sleep. Maya smiled, and she muttered, “Will you disappear the moment I open my eyes?”“I won’t.” Alexander replied, “Not this time. Not again.”“Really? You’ll come to see me after I wake up?”“Yes, although I think you’d punch me in the face if you meet me sober.”Maya just laughed it out.Oli, Ryan, and Sally ended up following Maya to the garden, but as they saw her with Alexander already and cozy as she slept, Oli teased, “Well, at least I won’t have to make such a scene after all.”“I knew Maya and Alexander would still end up together no matter what.” Sally scoffed, “Well, she’s drunk and asleep. I guess we won’t be able to talk to her after all.

Feeling the cold air of the night, Alexander stated as he closed his eyes, “Do you reckon everyone at your party already left?”Pedro replied after he took a glance inside the venue through the huge glass transparent doors. The lights were still on but there was no more music so Pedro figured everyone already left or at least majority did. He replied, “Maybe.”“Didn’t you say that Maya would surely come at this party because of the guests you invited?”Pedro nodded. He paused for a while before answering, “I had to make sure Maya would come and stay here at Russia.”“You’re the one who put alcohol in the fruit punch, weren’t you?”Pedro was hesitant whether he should confess of just completely deny it but after seeing Alexander’s reaction, he figured Alexander wanted the same thing, so he nodded then he asked, “You knew?”“Well, the fa

“Hey, how come you take her back home. Just so you know, I don’t trust you well enough to let you go there alone-“Pedro cut him off and said, “I don’t know where Maya lives currently, so I’m dropping her off at her friends’ house. I’m going there with Sam so you don’t have to come. Besides, are you sure you want to meet her friends after what you did to her?”Alexander gulped hard. He knew Maya’s friends through Maya’s stories and all that. Despite never actually meeting her friends, Alexander knew he was in deep trouble after all the pain he caused her.Alexander said, “Fine. You can take her home but for the record, I’m not scared of her friends-““You should be.” Pedro smirked teasing Alexander, “Trust me, I met them.”Alexander scoffed, “I’ll meet them properly next time when things are more… stable.”

Inside the mansion, it was awfully quiet. Pedro could hear the crickets outside and the birds chirping from the complete silence as Oli and Sally judged him silently. They all sipped coffee after Pedro carried Maya to her room.Finally, Oli broke their silence, and she asked, “So, do you like Maya?”Pedro almost choked on his coffee, he replied, feeling all flustered, “I… I do. I like Maya.”“And what do you like about her?” Sally asked.“Everything.” Pedro answered, “I like everything about her.”“Even when she snores late at night? Or argue a lot? Or even if she’s too loud?”Pedro nodded.The two sipped their coffee in disbelief. Pedro then said, “I know I controlled Maya before. I practically locked her in Russia as my sister requested but upon knowing her, I… I just did not want to let her go. It was really selfish, and I was confused

“I figured the silhouette was yours because of this.” Stephanie reluctantly broke the glass case near Kate’s old room and grabbed the Emerald green Greenwillow brand handbag there. Stephanie explained, “I saw this bag on the picture and coincidentally, at the video of the orphanage too when you left Maya. I figured only one would have this bag in possession since it was discontinued, and there was only one of this manufactured because it was Kate’s work. Kate made it as a gift for her aunt, and that is none other than you, Mrs. Karin Simons.”Mrs. Simons scoffed, “I’ve always loved the bag but thinking that Kate made it was disgusting, but still, I had to keep up the act and wear that bag every day.”“This green bag is the only physical evidence that would bring you down. If the video of you handing Maya over at the orphanage with this green bag, your alibi will fail, and they would know that you weren’t

So, Maya walked her way towards Alexander. Her steps were light as to not distract Alexander, who was casually sitting, book in his hand, and the light was naturally hitting his black hair. Alexander looked like a scene from a movie.Whereas Maya was a mess, she barely brushed her hair, and her clothes were a mess because Oli chose the first set of clothes that would fit her for the night, and her face was not yet completely clean from all the make-up last night.Ugh, this sucks. Maya groaned as she thought to herself, this is not how I planned our meeting to happen. In fact, Maya never planned to cross paths with Alexander ever again. Maya awkwardly greeted, “Hello. Erm… uh, about last night-“She was worried that she most probably did something stupid, then her thought ran along the lines of what would Stephanie do to me now? The last conversation they had was when Stephanie texted Maya she would be late because sh

“Aren’t you going to give me a chance to explain?”“No. Now leave before I punch you in the face.”Alexander said, “I’m actually quite surprised you still haven’t done that already.” Alexander continued, “Anyway, I can’t leave. I just told you, you owed me for all the trouble last night, and it wasn’t cheap too.”“You’re making it up. I don’t remember anything like that.”Alexander smirked, “Oh, but you remembered what you said and did to me-“Maya immediately covered Alexander’s mouth and whispered to him, “If you say anything- even one word about it to Oli or Sally, I’ll kill you, okay?”Alexander nodded as he was continued teasing Maya.Sally raised an eyebrow, “What were you saying, Alexander?”“Nothing.” Alexander smirked at Maya and continued, “I probably r
