Hailey's pov:After my classes got over, I headed to Riley's house instead of going to Mr Louis office because Riley didn't show up for the college. I thought I could ask her the reason for not coming to the trip when I saw her at college but she didn't show up at college either. When I tried calling her, she didn't pick up my phone till now. Why isn't she calling me back? I'm going to her house and confront her. In this way, she can't run away from me. At Riley's house, it was locked. When i asked the neighbour, they didn't give me a proper answer which made me more confused. Where did she go? Let's go to the diner then. Minutes later, I came to the diner where Riley works as a part-timer. I asked her colleague, Gina. Her answers surprised me more than the neighbours. She said that Riley quitted her job at the diner. Why would she quit her job? What made her quit her job? What's going with you, Riley? When i felt my necklace getting warmer, I left the diner and walked away from it

Hailey's pov:At the cafe, While i was getting rid of expired goods from the storage room, my phone rang. Patrick, "Why don't you just pick up the call and talk to them? It's been ringing since morning. It's 5 pm now." I turned off the phone and said, "It won't ring again." And put it in my pocket."Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?""No." "Then why aren't you picking it up?""Because that's not my boyfriend." "Oh. Okay." He gave an awkward silence and went to the counter after throwing away the trash. When I'm done with my work, I walked into the cafe and continued service. "Two espresso macchiato and one cappuccino, right?" When the customer nodded, I said, "It'll be ready in five minutes." And went to the counter to give Patrick the order. While I was waiting for it, I saw Harry walking into the cafe. What is he doing here? How the hell does he know where I work? I saw him taking a seat and raised his hand to take his order. Since the table belongs to Elise, she too

Hailey's pov:At college, while I was doing an errand for Mr Grey, I thought of asking for his help so I waited for others to leave the office room so that I could talk to him. Mr Grey, "If you're done, you can leave to your class, Ms Walton." And continued writing something in his notebook. What if he told my parents about it? Father is already mad at me so I dropped my plan and walked out of the office room thinking about a way to get one million dollars quickly. While I was thinking, I noticed my necklace. A crazy idea came to my mind so I headed to the classroom.When the class got over, I went to Austin's desk. When he tried to ignore me as usual, I said, "I have to talk to you. Meet me at the rooftop after the lunch break." And moved out his way. An hour later, I waited for Austin on the rooftop. Austin came late asking, "What do you want to talk to me for?""I'm going to charge you for the blood you're consuming from me." He gave a weird look and let out a smirk asking, "How

Hailey's pov:After I arrived at the street where Riley sent the address, I messaged her that I reached and got a reply from her that she's nearby. I put my phone back in my pocket and waited for her looking either side of the street. It looked empty which scared me a little. As I was waiting for her, I saw Riley walking towards me from my right. I ran to her and gave her a hug. She returned the hug asking, "What's the emergency? Why did you ask me to come see you? What happened?"I opened the zip a little and showed her what's in that bag saying, "One million dollars like you said. Is this enough for them or do you need more?" Riley closed the bag asking, "Are you insane? How did you get this money? Did you ask your parents? Did you ask them?" I looked away from looking at her and said, "No. I didn't ask them." "I got it from… it doesn't matter who it is. Just take the money and give it to them. And, stop hiding yourself from them from now on." And gave her the money. "I can't ta

Hailey's pov:When I woke up, I was in the hospital. When I tried to get up, my hand felt heavy to even lift it up in the air. When I took a look at it, it was bandaged well. What happened to my hand? I touched it to feel the pain and I remembered what happened. Riley?! I removed the trip's needle from the back of my hand and got out of the bed. And when i came out of the room, mom and dad were sitting on the three seater chair. Seeing me they came to me calling out my name, mom, "Hailey! What are you doing out of the bed?" I peeked through other rooms asking, "Where's Riley? What room is she in?" Mom held my hand saying, "Calm down. Calm down, Hailey. Come on, let's go to your room first."I brushed her off asking, "Where's Riley? I want to see her." And started looking inside every room I came across. "I want to see her right now."Dad, "Hailey, listen to me." When I ignored him and kept looking for Riley, she grabbed both of my shoulders and said while looking into my eyes, "She

Hailey's pov:A week later, Since I felt bored and alone, I couldn't stay home any longer and came to college.As I walked in the hallway, everyone stared at me but I didn't give attention to any of them. In the classroom, I became invisible from my own friends and classmates. No one talked with me or asked for my help on anything. The teacher who asked me to run an errand for him everytime now forgot my name. People in the canteen treated me like trash so I walked out without eating anything. I went to Alex's classroom, but he wasn't there. His classmates said he's on leave today. When the second bell rang, I was on the way to the next class, I saw Alex walking somewhere. Didn't they say he didn't come today? I walked to him and called out his name, "Alex." He looked at my bandaged hands and asked, "Why didn't you stay home and rest until you recover?"I hugged him as soon as I realised he still cares for me. He broke the hug and said, "I have to go. Take care." I held his hand

"The President asked you to meet him when you're here, Sir.""Okay, I'll go ahead. Thank you for informing me." And headed to the president's cabin. When I entered the cabin, the president said, "I heard the campaign went pretty well. As expected, you gave your best even though it's not your position. Thank you for your hard work, Mr Perez." And placed a letter on the table saying, "And, I want you to do me a favour. While I was thinking about a person to send for our latest advertisement success party, you came to my mind, Mr Perez. I hope you're free this weekend to attend this party on behalf of me."
