Chapter 41 - Table for three
AMAYA'S POVAfter I told Max about how strange the aggregation of these siblings is he seemed to take it into the matter and would look into it as well. Despite the distance between us, we somehow managed to reconcile after a month of not talking to each other. There was just too much in hand. When I finished all my work at the office and it was time for us to go home, I didn't come along with Vanique and Noah. Instead, I chose to stop by the hospital where Flynn was admitted. He's still comatose but they said he was getting better. I just hope he won't have any more complications after he wakes up. Such as forgetting things or more than that. He's been a good person behind all the mean things I did and I am always thankful. Also, I needed to talk to the hospital staff about his transfer to LA since his twin sister, Fylissa, asked me if I could do something when I was talking to Max on the phone earlier. Their parents would be more at ease if he would be in their care. Knowing all th

Chapter 42 - That Dark Secret
AMAYA'S POV As we left the restaurant and arrived at the parking lot. Hugo drove so fast and suddenly stopped the engine in a dark alley as if we were hiding from someone. We sat still inside the car for about thirty minutes. I didn't talk or tried to ask him why. But based on his actions, it seems like he is avoiding Francoise. That he knew exactly the possibility of her following us everywhere. And for once, I don't want that either.Before he started to drive back, Hugo let out a huge sigh. "I'm sorry about Francie. I didn't want her to ruin our date either but I have no other choice. If I'll resolve it differently like not letting her join us. It will escalate the situation. As I have said before, she's different." He said while leaning his head on the wheel. To be honest, I could feel the same frustration that he is feeling right now. There is something about her that doesn't complete the puzzle."Don't worry. I understand." "Anyway, Would you like to come with me to my place?

Chapter 43 - The Hunting Prey
AMAYA'S POVI was awoken by a ray of sunlight coming out of my window. I loved how the light touches my skin every morning. Since my mom stayed here, she often opens the curtains for me to at least notice that it was already morning. Though I appreciated it because it makes me feel at peace the second I open my eyes before continuing my day with unhealthy thoughts. It feels surreal. It helps to clean up the confusions I always have and straighten it to my actual goal. I didn't want to get up from my bed just yet since I was enjoying the moment but my mom got my attention when she knocked on my door to inform me about someone who just arrived at my house. "Hugo's Downstairs waiting for you. If you don't mind me asking dear, Haven't you settled with that fake engagement yet? It's been a month so people may have forgotten about it already." Her concerned tone is very well appreciated now since we fixed our relationship. I know that she didn't mean it bad now, not that I usually overthin

Chapter 44 - All in one pace
AMAYA'S POVWith blistering confidence, I confronted the women waiting in the lobby of my building. As I took a step closer to them, their faces got more and more furious and it made me think of how desperate they are. Maybe they tried to hold on to them because they thought these men changed.One charged at me and slapped me while the other two were trying to stop her. Well, if this is the only way for them to resolve such things then I will not change my mind about continuing the case."Who do you think you are that you could accuse our boyfriends of raping you! Do you think you are that mighty to just choose random suspects to waste your money with because you don't have anything to do with it?! Your article is fake!" "As if we believe that someone like you goes to the same school our boyfriends went to. Are you that sad Ms. Wescott?! Is that the consequence of being too rich?!" I couldn't control myself from being aggressive as well since they started it. So I pressed her cheeks

Chapter 45 - Second Phase
AMAYA'S POV As soon as the trial was adjourned I was relieved to finally be out of their radar. Those criminals couldn't speak for themselves the moment I arrived. Even after I talked for myself. I continued to walk outside the court and as expected there were too many media again trying to interview us. But we just went straight to the car as Noah assisted us till we got inside. Malia patted my shoulder as if she was saying that I did a great job at the court today. I just looked at her and gave her a slight smile as Noah proceeded with driving. Though before we could even move farther from the crowd someone suddenly called on my phone. It was an unknown number. It was very unusual for me to see an unregistered call on my phone and yet something is telling me that I would not regret answering this one. The moment I said my greeting, I heard a very familiar voice from the other side. At that moment, I couldn't be happy enough to hear that voice. "A-Amaya?" Heavy breathing in between

Chapter 46 - Paranoid Effect
MAX'S POVI didn't like what I heard from Malia at all. True, Amaya and I do have constant communication to make our relationship work but it looks like it wasn't enough. Amaya needs the physical me beside her. The one that should be comforting her or supporting her with the rape case. But no, it was someone else who is with her right now. That fucking Hugo is ruining my chance in this relationship!I gave a strong thump on my table as I saw Fylissa's reaction right in front of me trying to peacefully finish her coffee. It was priceless. She continued sipping it though but I couldn't handle seeing her so calm after witnessing me lose my control. She may have given me a shocked face earlier but I don't like it. Vesna's response could be different."Ugh! If only your brother was already awake then I wouldn't need to worry about Amaya being entangled with that strange French guy!" I exclaimed in frustration and turned my back from Fylissa and looked through my window. I can see the stree

Chapter 47 - Heartbeat
AMAYA'S POVWhen I returned to the office, all I could think about was how disappointed Hugo would be after what happened in the hospital. I mean I never thought of having that sort of scene as soon as I found out that Conan's safe. I don't want to make things awkward for us the next time we meet though so maybe I'll just invite him for a drink? At my favorite club perhaps? Yeah, maybe that would do. I'll call him and we'll enjoy the night after our work. Time flies so fast and it was already four in the afternoon. I will be ending my company duties but all of a sudden, the board asked for an emergency meeting. Why on earth would we need to have a meeting? I am already so excited about my upcoming date with Hugo but they tend to ruin my excitement. But still, I have no choice but to attend since Malia is back and she's the most strict executive assistant I ever have. For her, the company comes first. "I'll be going to a club after this meeting. Do you want to come?" I tried to invite

Chapter 48 - Wedding Preparations
AMAYA'S POVWhen I got that call, I immediately ran towards the hospital as everyone tried to keep me outside while most of the doctors were trying to stabilize Flynn's situation. The only thing I can only understand is that the cardiac monitor was beeping abnormally. My feelings were all mixed up and being sober is not helping me at all. I couldn't think straight for one second and my body was trembling in anxiety. All I could do was cry under my hands. I hope everything will turn out well.Finally, one of the doctors came near me informing me about Flynn's condition and it struck me when he said that he was awake. I ran towards the room and I saw Flynn's eyes looking around him. I cried even more in happiness. I held his hand as he looked at me. His eyes don't say he was happy to see me but more confusion. I looked back to the doctors behind me, wanting an answer to why Flynn couldn't recognize me."Since the spinal cord is connected to the brain, there is a huge possibility that he

Chapter 49 - Francoise's Surprise
AMAYA'S POVAfter that day, I felt amused by how Hugo and I coped with the situation. It could have been worse. Other than that, it looks like we made it up already. Later today, I planned to go back to the hospital where Flynn is confined because the doctors called that his tube has been removed now. That news excites me because that means Flynn is getting better and I could already let him keep up with the events. When I arrived there, I was terrified to see the person standing by his bed talking to him. I had doubts upon entering the room because it might trigger the thoughts behind her head. Though I also don't want to see Flynn dead behind this door. I have to choose between those two. So instead I slowly walked near them as if I didn't want to disturb their talk but Francoise still made her turn towards me when the door clicked. I looked behind her to see if Flynn was alright and he was fine. He even waved at me and smiled. "So Francie? What made you visit here?" I asked not to

AMAYA'S POVHow exactly did I suddenly got married? I should at least remember something, right? How drunk were we last night? I thought it was good enough that I woke up with none of my clothes missing but ended up being married.Hugo and I stayed sitting on opposite sides of the bed silent. We are both trying to remember everything that has happened. Did perhaps someone come inside the room and suddenly call out a priest? Or a judge? There needs to be a lot of files to get a marriage certificate, have they gotten mine already? Is this a fake one? But no, I don't think so. I am holding the marriage certificate in my hands right now and I don't see any fake infringement. Everything seems original. Will there be news about this? I hope not. What am I going to do? I am already messed up enough, should I make an argument with Hugo? Well, technically it's not his fault either. We are both victims here. We are suddenly married to each other overnight and yet we keep thinking about how it's
