Max was beyond furious. What the heck was actually going on? Had the whole trip to Abu Dhabi been some perfect hoax to get the both of them to be all alone to themselves? “No,” he knew Chloe to be smarter than that. She didn’t show any signs of having anything to do with Kylian after the way their relationship had ended.Could Kincaid have been that foolish to trail her all the way from one end of the world to the other? He knew that Kylian could be obsessed with having things go his way, but never knew him to be that desperate over anything. It all went on to prove the profound effect that Chloe had on him.He had hung up as he couldn’t bear the unruly sight of the both of them together. He got up from bed as he tried dialing her number again, but he just couldn’t get through to her. Was this karma coming back at him for almost falling for Debby’s histrionics? If it was, he deemed it unfair, as it had come at him rather too quickly.A split second of reconsideration and some resili

"What's the meaning of this Debby?" His inner instincts had told him it had all been a setup from the start, but his much stronger lustful intent had led him on to walk right into her trap in broad daylight.He vented out the seething furnace within him into voicemail as she hadn't picked up any of his calls. Just how many things were bound to go wrong that morning? First, it was Kylian showing up at Chloe's doorstep. Now it was Debby sending him a pic of the both of them sharing a seemingly romantic moment from the previous day.Max still wondered how she had gotten those pics. Had she been that desperate to get it done, even to the point of having someone to take the pictures in the background while she did her thing?It wasn't all coming out well. He had planned a peaceful weekend of rest, all alone in his home before prepping for his trip to Abu Dhabi the next day. Now he was thrown into an awful frenzy that he couldn't just shake off. For each moment those pics were with Debby, h

Kylian was soon lost as he realized that the Warner Bros. World had actually been a world of its own, which had him wondering how in the world he would be able to find Maya in such a park. He had heard a lot about the place but hadn’t thought it would live up to the hype as much as it was doing at the moment- he was literally overwhelmed.He wished he had some sort of tour guide to take him through the cold lonely world he found himself in. The air conditioners made it a literal cold world. He wished Omar could have been there to ride him through this one. He had already become that fond of him within their brief conversation. They had exchanged contacts before they parted ways.The memory of losing Chloe to Max forever was slowly creeping in again as he found himself all alone, watching families and couples troop in and out of different parts of the park. Her words and her gestures were soon replaying in his mind. “Oh come on…not now,” he hated having to sulk over anything that could

“Remember, play it cool.” Hilda’s voice on the line made it all seem much more uncomplicated than it was. “Don’t make it too obvious,” she went on, “She’s as smart as her father. If not smarter.”“Jeez! You’re making me more tense than I should be right now,” Ollie said, feeling all the pressure of the moment. She could imagine Helen sitting comfortably on a sofa as she comfortably gave out the orders for the almost impossible plan she had suggested during the weekend.“Am I?” she asked, chuckling over the line, “ Well don’t screw this up, or you could kiss your fairy tale with Anthony goodbye. Forever.”“Alright, that’s enough,” Ollie said, about to hang up, “I’ll let you know how it goes.”“Good luck.”Ollie was finally left alone in a world of her own. She had gone over the first phase of the simple plan to get Helen to mess up things between her and Anthony.The first day of the week had gone awfully fast at work. She was going to spend her lunch break at Helen’s school, hoping t

Emma felt a renewed confidence as she drove from the hospital to the home she would soon be referring to as one of the places where she’d once lived.She felt in charge. She felt like she had finally had a say in what her life was going to turn out to be. Her mother’s plan gave her a kind of confidence that she couldn’t quite explain. It felt like she had been suffering all the while for nothing.Looking at the city flying by her window through her shades gave her a vague sense of exhilaration. It had been a while since she had enjoyed a simple decent ride in the city. It felt like she had been missing out a lot being with Kylian.Her phone buzzed. She was pleased to see that it was her mum. “Hello, Mom,” she said, leaving it on loudspeaker.“Hello Emma,” she said. “How did the trip to the hospital go? How’s our baby?”“Our baby’s doing just fine, the scan showed that it’s still intact. Nothing to fear.”“You better take care of yourself and our little one. You are literally carrying
