Chapter: Chapter FortyKyle's POVWe stood at the sidewalk for over five minutes just staring at each other. I spent my time looking for her and not practicing what I'd say if i actually saw her again.This was weird. This silence was the loudest. It was us calling out to each other without knowing what to say."This is awkward." She said after kicking a stone with her foot."Tell me about it! We were never like this"I examined her. Her eyes were still sparkling and the dress she wore without a doubt made her looking astonishing."So what are you doing here?"I looked at her for a minute. Is she really asking me why I'm here!? Isn't it obvious?&n

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-NineKyle's POV"Fine. I'll tell you." She finally surrendered."Go on..""I know they had an aunt in LA. Glendale to be specific.""Great. Give me the address."She took a pen from the desk and wrote something and handed it over to me. I read it and it looked legit."Thank you. Let's keep this encounter in this room.""But first...Mr Peterson, You are fired!" I turn my attention to the man behind me."But she told you what you wanted, why am I getting fired?" He grumpily complained."Managers don't have sex with the people they are managing." I said before exiting the cafe.

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Eight Kyle's POV Did I just hear him right? Did he just say her mom died?! "Are you being serious?" I asked with a faded smile. "Yes. They had her wake last week and the funeral, I guess is on Saturday? I'm really not sure." Ashton explained and so many things began running through my mind. "I need to see Alexis. Right now." I muttered under my breath and made my way to my car parked outside. I can't begin to imagine how she must be feeling. I drove to her house and knocked at the door and waited for a response but nothing. &nbs

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-SixKyle's POV"Rise and shine sleepyhead!!!" A tiny voice echoed through my room. I groaned clutching to my pillow and turning the opposite direction.It was silent for a minute. Maybe she left. Then i heard the curtains rails move and like a surprise,a bright ray of sunshine hit my face."No..." I cover my face and sit up straight. "What the hell Em?" I say with a scowl on my face. "Someone's a little off today,what happened last night? Was the party not good?" She looked concerned."No. I don't want to talk about it" i look at her and run my hand through my chestnut brown hair.

Chapter: Epilogue "Leo!" I heard someone faintly call. "Leo!" The voice called again. My head went from the gravestone towards the direction of the voice. A blurred view of Thalia came into my sight as I stood at the corner of the venue. "It's time to say goodbye to her." Thalia informed me. I couldn't come to terms with the fact that Riona was no longer with us and more so that she died right in my arms. "You have to. You were her only real friend." Thalia said in a bid to encourage me. I looked up at Thalia who forced a smile as our eyes met. If she can be so strong after losing her sister then I can definitely do better. After taking a deep breath I followed behind Thalia who lead me

Chapter: Chapter 40R I O N AHe's dead?Thalia grabbed my arm and burst into tears while I didn't know what to feel. I wanted to also cry but I just couldn't.We walked out of the doctors office and into the waiting room where Leonardo and my mother waited for us.Leonardo looked up at me with hopeful eyes but I slightly shook my head and he released a depressed sigh.Thalia stayed glued to me and couldn't control her sobs, I didn't know how I could comfort her because I was also in pain.A while later, Leonardo came back with three cups of coffee in his hand and gave Thalia and I ours then one to my mother and then he held the last one in his hand."I'm really sorry." Leonardo told us both before Thalia hugged him.As we sat down my phone buzzed and it was a call from boss, I excused myself and walked far away so they cou

Chapter: Chapter 39R I O N AAs I sat in my car my mind drifted away to the fact that my dad was in a critical condition and was currently in the operating room getting operated on.My palms suddenly got sweaty from the anxiety and I rubbed them hard.I looked up to the roof of the car and took a deep sigh and silently prayed for God to help my dad come out of this successfully.I looked down and it made me chuckle lightly because I know I had no right to ask God for anything because I know all the things I've done in my life but the funny thing is everyone only remembers spirituality when they have problems, so what is the guarantee that my prayers will be answered?The passenger door opened and Leonardo hurriedly got into the car before slamming the door shut."I've told my mom to leave

Chapter: Chapter 38R I O N AHow is it that he still trusts me?It's weird how I just confessed to being paid to kill his mom but yet he's still trusts me?I need to make this work, I have to.After securing a nice parking spot at my undercover agency, I took a deep breath before I walked into the store."Good day Riona!" He greeted from behind the counter before looking into his computer. "You're not supposed to be here today until you complete your work?" He questioned." I need to speak to the boss and it's important, tell him I'm going in." I informed him."Kay then."I pushed through the doors leading up to the boss' office before knocking on his door."Come on in Davis!" His voice so high pitched and sounded rough.Seems like he's in a bad m

Chapter: Chapter 37L E O N A R D OI leaned against the wall as I waited for Riona to return from the doctors office with a positive response but after waiting for a while and no response, I decided to go down to the reception."Good day." I greeted the nurse at the counter."May I help you?" She asked in a polite tone but kept her eyes glued to the computer in front of her."Yes, I came with Riona? Riona Davis and I noticed she tried to pay for something else even though the operation fee has been paid for, is there a new charge or something that she still needs to pay?" I inquired and the nurse looked at me before typing away on the computer."There is no extra charge, I think she isn't aware that the fee has been paid already but I think she will be informed by the doctor in charge of her father's case." She informed me."Okay then, thank you." I

Chapter: Chapter 36R I O N AWhat did Keith mean by that?Was it Keith that made my mom find us?Is he in cahoots with that woman?These were the questions running through my head all day at school.Maybe I could tell Boss about what happened with Keith and he can help.Yes, I'll go there after I leave the hospital."Hey!" I heard Leonardo's voice call as I approached my car."Hey." I greeted with a quick smile."Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned look."Um..." I tried to understand what he meant by that question."You looked really worried today whenever I saw you like something was always on your mind, do you want to talk about it over coffee or something?""Oh," I realized. "I'm going to the hospital right now so I do
