As Anna responded to the blaring alarm from her phone that was reminding her that it was time to prepare for work, the grumpy woman instantly realized that had been a while since she saw her room looking fine. She was deep into the whole sadness thing even her room suffered a huge mess till she decided to arrange things the previous night. As she walked to the drawer to turn off the sound that was already irritating her, the side of her eye caught an object that she had not paid attention to for a while. Her sister’s phone. Leaning against the drawer, and taking a sigh, Anna’s mind traveled to the time Josh informed her of the hidden details of her sister’s death and she could not stop staring at the cracked screen of the device. She was still going to maintain her stance and keep the discovery of the phone from Josh but Anna knew she had to do something about the phone. With the hope that the phone would still be responsive and pinless, Anna grabbed her phone’s charger and connec

Alex made his way towards Anna who was now assuming a standing position whose her eyes never left Drake who was still keeping a stern look on the iPad in his hold. "Anna, are you okay now?" Her head slightly turned in Alex's direction as she wondered what the new look on Drake's face was. Instead of looking angry or perhaps frustrated, he looked rather... sad. It would have made sense since the news being circulated wasn't a good one. But this sadness... it had a different air to it and it bothered Anna a bit. But that was a fickle moment. As a warm hand landed on her forehead, she snapped out of her thoughts and shared a look with Alex who asked, "Are you feeling okay?" She nodded and swallowed hard when she realized how dry her throat was. As her eyes scanned the room for a bottle of water or anything that bears clean, drinkable, preferably sedative-free water, Drake walked towards his seat, he seemed totally oblivious to everything else. "You should go home," Alex said furth

As her alarm blared, Anna woke up to a strange feeling against her cheeks. Rising from her strange position, it occurred to her that she had slept off while chewing on her loveable junk meal from the previous night. Her eyes heavy with sleep, Anna was about to contemplate resuming her slumber despite the mess on her bed, but she was reminded of the message she received from the man she was planning to drag down. The message had to mean two things. He either loves sending random messages instead of being direct with his attempt to check up on her or he has actually found out who she is. Darcy Hendrick's sister. The sister to the girl who was murdered in his company a year ago. The girl who everyone thinks committed suicide. Anna could not begin to imagine how things would be in the office that day if the message had the latter meaning. But that didn't mean she wasn't going to go to the office. He made it a must anyway. Grudgingly, she got off her bed, got rid of the crumbs on the

Perplexity still running through her entire veins, Anna tried to push the man's lips away but somehow, he misread her and within a quick second, his hand was gripping the back of her head, not so hard, but firm enough to ensure he got to have a proper feel of her lips. Her hands on his chest as she tried to budge out of his surprisingly unyielding hold, Anna found herself undergoing a torturous tour in her head. Her sister's image came into her mind the moment his lips began to explore hers and as the kiss continued, she kept seeing a particular scene play over and over again. A scene where her sister couldn't stop gushing about a man she liked. Someone from her workplace. Without igniting it, hatred fueled her and she became more determined to break away from the kiss which was now turning intense even though it was one person doing the entire work. When her pushes did nothing, Anna resorted to an option that made the man yelp. Sucking on his lower lip which she had instantly bit

“What are you doing here?” Drake asked with certain disgust in his voice as he had his seat far away from the last person he wished to see at that very moment. Amelia wore a bigger smirk and she defied his attempt by walking even closer, her hands making sure to lean on the desk so that she was exposing part of her breasts in the man’s direction. Drake almost scoffed loudly. She really must think he was still into her. “I would have never guessed I would walk in on Drake Blunt making out with an employee. Whatever happened to your principles?” “What on earth are you doing here Amelia? The last time I checked, you broke up with me and I made sure to tell you never to meet me again.” Amelia clicked her tongue. “Are you still upset about that? I-” “If you have nothing to do in particular, please leave, I am a busy man.” “Do you like her?” Amelia ignored his words. “I hope you don’t. It will be quite sad if you decide to date someone less prettier than me.” Drake sighed hard. “Did
