EPILOGUE !The Christmas ball was soon beginning and I’d be expected to be beside my father as we were the hosts. The ball room was the former basement which had been renovated into a ball room. It was first my mother’s hideout but now it was a ball room. I didn’t want the memory of Hannah to dampen my mood today.I stand at my balcony with the glass of champagne I’d grabbed downstairs before coming up, watching other people from above. Maybe I wasn’t really watching them, I was more of looking for someone, Kayla.It’s been hours already and she wasn’t coming. I’d gone in to the theatre room several times to check on her.Okay fine, I meant to spy on her, but her blinds were down and I couldn’t see inside her room. This year, I had a reason to buy her a gown. The previous years I just had to watch Jonathan buy her gowns as gifts but this year I told him to not buy her gowns and that I’d give her a gown for the ball.

Chapter HundredHow long has it been since I got out of my room and lived? How long has it been since I came back from my coma and shunned everyone out and locked myself up, depressed and crying for the child I never had?I don’t know. Janel, Xander and Asher came to see me at the hospital but apparently they have a grudge with Hunter so they haven’t been to the house since then.

After that, I was taken to the hospital and placed on birth control.Hunter must be having it worse than me. He found out about his mom and the child. For Hunter to resort to violence when adults were around and ruin his golden boy image, he must be taking the news harder than I was. I should go and see him and stop telling him I needed space to process everything. What’s there to process again? We were both not okay and needed each other. Everything is finally over. No more secrets. Nothing. The least I can

Chapter Ninety EightA screen lights up and a video begins to play. It’s a recording of my father and a lady talking. He seems to be hiding the camera from the lady, so I don’t get to see her face.“Do you regret what we did?” the lady asks my father. Her voice is disturbingly familiar.“I don’t know.
