CHAPTER 80 - Sweet Escape
Athena's POVI had just finished cooking fried rice, bacon, and eggs and was just about to set the table when Cloud stepped into the kitchen. He flashed a wide smile as he saw me, then went in to envelop me in his broad arms and draw me into a morning embrace. We lingered there for a while, living in the moment.We were then distracted when the coffee machine started to make a bothersome whirring sound. As we drifted away from each other, we both burst out laughing. I went to the coffee counter and started pouring two cups of coffee. The aroma of caramelized brewed coffee populated the kitchen atmosphere.In silence, we started digging into our breakfast. We just exchange meaningful gazes and sweet smiles as we successfully complete our breakfast. I absolutely loved how we were able to eat without needing to speak anything. Simply enjoying the plate of food and each other's company.We ended up going in

CHAPTER 81 - High School Friends
Megan's POVI have been going around in circles on the prestigious shopping center in the heart of New York when a familiar figure of a woman suddenly caught my attention. I narrowed my forehead as I tried to watch her from the distance. She was wearing a crop top, slim and fitted jeans, and high-heeled sandals. She had a luxurious bag on the side clinging to her shoulders, and she was wearing seemingly sophisticated sunglasses.Her hair was long and brown, with slight curves on the end. She was fairly white-skinned, and the way she carries herself instantly gives off the impression that she was rich, famous, and influential. Likewise, she also had a tall man wearing a black coat and trailing her from behind, mainly giving off an idea that he was her personal bodyguard.My emotions were filled with curiosity and astonishment when I have finally come to the decision of approaching the mysterious woman. Slowly and cautiously, I try to come up with

CHAPTER 82 - Deadweight
Cloud's POV"All I ever wanted was to hold your hand. All I ever wanted was to brush my lips into yours and keep you mine.. All I ever wanted was to glance at your face, your beautiful face, and your eyes filled with sparkling constellations.. Take me forever,"The entire ride in Chad's car was unusually quiet. Chad seemed to be so much engrossed in thinking of possibilities where Athena could be. Lovi's face was unequivocally filled with worry and sadness. While here I am, resting my back on the car seat and beginning to feel like I was about to go crazy just by thinking of Athena. Not to mention the song that was currently playing on the random channels of the radio that added up the misery and melancholy of missing her more and more each day.All I ever wanted was to hold her hand because whenever I do so, all the emotional upheavals and disarray seemed to vanish into the thin air. Like she was the primary reason of how I was able to

CHAPTER 83 - Hard Kill
Detective Amiri's POVI had been circling around the area and there seemed to be something odd and disconcerting I could not point my finger on. Another murder had been successfully accomplished, and this time was different, as the victim was an old man. A grandfather, perhaps.I am not completely sure how the culprit was selecting their next victims. At first, I have substantially concluded that maybe the killer was after young and beautiful women living in this town. Yet, the serial killed had proven me wrong once again when we suddenly found a few men who were also slaughtered. So I was guessing that the killer might be targeting the younger generations. Those who spend most of their time enjoying the best time of their lives and living life to the fullest. I even concluded that the culprit must be an envious one, seeing that the culprit did not want anyone living a happy and contented life.But after that latest conclusion, my theory has bee

CHAPTER 84 - Former Lovers
Cloud's POVI was pacing back and forth when I suddenly realized that I was standing there looking directly at a very familiar figure of a woman. The three of us, Lovi and Chad, have decided to stop by at the nearest convenience store, so we can grab something to eat and drink, after coming to a realization that we have been driving for long hours now and making random stops and trying to search if Athena happened to pass by on these places.The woman, dressed in a sexy and tight-fitting mini dress, seemed to appear sophisticated and full of elegance and splendid. She looks stunning and captivating in the way she dresses and carries herself. I tried very hard to dig my head further and my memory deeper, as the female really appears to be somewhat familiar and distinct.Fortunately, the woman suddenly turned in my direction, and she started to slowly and carefully lower her sunglasses, with a gobsmacked and absolutely petrified expression on her

CHAPTER 85 - Forever Partner
Cloud's POVLiana Holmes, I muttered to myself.To be honest, I never really expected to see her here in New York, of all the possible places this world has to offer. She explicitly mentioned before that she hated New York, and that she would never set her foot back in this place ever again.New York City has been so popular and had a prestigious reputation all over the world. It had become one of the movie's first-ever choices when it comes to selecting the right and perfect setting whenever they will be shooting some scenes. It was deemed as one of the world's humongous cities, where a thousand business investors and entrepreneurs managed to put up their respective enterprises and stocks, seeing a superb potential in the place.

CHAPTER 86 - Dark Secrets
Liana's POVI was now on my way to meet Megan for dinner, yet my thoughts were still deeply invested with my earlier and unexpected conversation with Cloud at the convenience store.Cloud was my boyfriend way back in college. He was not my first love, nor my first boyfriend, but he seemed to be greater than that.We were classmates in Business Management class in college. I was 17 back then and was a newcomer at the university when my family has decided to move to New York City since our family business somewhat became affected, and it detrimentally impacted our stream of income. We almost went bankrupt, so my father has decided to sell our house in Australia, so we can buy a new one at a cheaper one, and most likely live in a city where the cost of living would not be painful in our pockets.I was totally devastated and heartbroken during that time, as Australia had become so dear and close to my heart since I was raised in the same coun

CHAPTER 87 - A Birthday Surprise
Liana's POVAfter I finished drinking a glass of warm milk that night in the kitchen, I started to yawn lazily, as though that was the only thing that my system had been waiting for all throughout the night.Seeing how sleepy I had suddenly become was, my mother gave out a giggle. She combed her fingers to my wavy hair."Look how sleepy you are, honey. You better go and sleep to your bed," she murmured."But mom, I am not yet sleepy," I tried to insist dejectedly.She gave out a hearty laugh after hearing my response."Really, sweetheart? You could tell and reason that with your daddy, but you could never positively convince me about that! After all, I carried you for the entire nine months and even took care of you years after that, so I know you so well," she gave a good laugh.I turned to face her as I fight my eyelids, which were starting to droop heavily. "Where's dad?" I wondered out loud.I have noticed

CHAPTER 88 - Bankruptcy
Liana's POV"So when do you plan to inform her about it, huh, Suzanne?" I remembered my father yelling angrily at my mother followed by a loud thud of his brusque hands on the desk, which made me startle as I had never seen him lose his cool and temperament ever since I was born."I could not tell her, Rick! I am not ready yet!" I recalled my mother screaming back at my dad, with tears flowing down her cheeks.Furthermore, I have observed my dad start to rise from his seat and run his fingers through his head repetitively, annoyance and frustration could not be concealed on his face. "I cannot believe this!""Why is it so hard for you to support me with this?" my mother accusingly shrieked.My father gave her an incredulous look, with a disbelief expression authored all over his face. "Why would I support you, Suzanne? Did I ever ask you to do such a thing? You ruined our family! And I never asked for that!" he shouted.My m

CHAPTER 89 - New Experience
Liana's POVThe bright sun was brimming vibrantly on my face, which made me groan in frustration and annoyance. I pulled my duvet covers all over my body in an attempt to escape the blazing sunlight. I was determined to go back to sleep, as I had become unusually exhausted and depleted for the previous day's strenuous activity of moving in. Likewise, I continue to close my eyes firmly as the flow of memories started flowing to the mind that snaps me back from reality.Yes, we finally arrived here in New York City. We left our peaceful and scenic town in Australia yesterday morning, which had been delayed a bit slightly as our neighbors took the time and their turns in giving each of us some warm embraces and heart-wrenching farewells. Some even shed a tear, while some prayed for the entire family to guide us on our safe journey. I restrained myself not to break down crying, seeing all the nice and kind-hearted people that had become my second family in
