Chapter: EPILOGUE“Are you sure you don’t want me to come?” mom asked.“Yeah. I’m good. I want to visit him before I leave the country” I answered.“I am sure that he’ll be very happy to see you”“So am I. I’ll go ahead, Mom. I need to buy flowers before going there”“Sure. Take care”I took my car key and left the house. It’s been a month has passed when we finally sent Stacey to jail. We have enough evidence that could prove all her wrong doings and Ryan also helped up with his testament but he didn’t escape the punishment. He was also sentenced to a short-term imprisonment but he accepted it since he acknowledged that it was a pure mistake that he willingly did because of Stacey.I stopped at a flower shop and bought flowers.“For your lover?”“Eh?”“I’m sorry. I am just curious. White flowers look pretty and neutral. It would fit for anyone”“Oh… is that so… give me a bouquet please”“Sure”She started arranging the flowers and the moment she finished, I paid her.“You don’t want to put some letter

I know that I wasn’t good to you but I can never attempt to kill you---”“Tell me… I am curious about this… you denied that you met the guy who fabricated the pill… where were you then? Why can’t you tell the truth?”“First, I don’t know who that man is! I never seen him and I never brought a pill to him! I can’t to the court where I am because…”“What?”“Because I am having an affair with a politician!”An affair?“You mean a relationship with a married man?”“Let me make that clear, they’re divorced”“That’s pretty valid but that’s not enough to prove me your innocence”“I understand. You have every right to be mad at me. But you know what you made me realize? That was drifting apart. Every day, it gets harder to reach each other and that is because I pushed you away. Because I am obsessed with my career and want only the best for you, I d

Chapter: CHAPTER 44: SURVIVEChelsea’s POV“Come in”Stacey invited me in. We’re meeting at her house since she told me that she has something to tell me. Whatever it is… I have no idea.“Please take a sit”I sat in the couch in front of her and acted as naturally as I could.“You should drink first”She offered me food and drinks too.“Thank you for the offer but I can’t drink juice anymore”“Is that so…”“By the way…what is it that you want to tell me?” I asked.“Did Zae’s mother come to you?”“No”She’ll surely suspect me if I say yes.“Okay… the thing is… she has a voice recording and she’s been using that to blackmail me”“What voice recording?”How did she know about it?“It was supposed to be an audition piece.

She might feel that this is a little inappropriate but this is the only way I know to find the culprit.After hitting the doorbell, someone came out.“Who are they?”“We’re looking for Ms. Marissa, is she there?”“Can I ask for your name so I can tell her?”“Sure. I’m Chelsea, Zae's friend and we want to talk to her for a while”“Wait here”After a while of waiting, the helper came back and let us in.As we entered, we saw Zae’s mother in the living room, smoking with her sleeping robe on. She told us to sit in front of her before she squeezed out the cigarette.“You’re Zae’s friend?” she asked.“Yes”“What do you want?” she uninterestingly asked.“We want to ask if you visited Zae on that night that she died”“I did” she answered with no hesitance.“Why?”“Don’t tell me you’re suspecting me as the one who kil

Chapter: CHAPTER 42: DEATH THAT SAVED MEKen’s POVIt’s been a week that I have been working on this problem that I have with Dianne. I want to nullify this marriage before Chelsea learns about it. I couldn’t see her while having this problem. I want to make sure to finish this before visiting her and tell her about it so I can explain.“You don’t have to make up stories just to divorce me” Dianne entered the office saying that.“What do you want?” I coldly asked without paying attention to her.Just a few more steps and everything is done. I can finally set free from her and I have nothing to hide from Chelsea.“You’re acting like we've never been in love with each other”“Are we? I can’t remember”“Don’t make me look stupid. You signed it and so do I---”“And then what? You run away?”She looks stunned when I say that. Of course, she can’t deny that because that is the truth.“That means you were looking for me?”“What do you think?”“I think… you loved me”“You guessed it wrong. I was looking for you to confront you about

She’s not used to you being far from her” Kyle stated.We loosen up and I see Dad standing in front of us.“Dad…”“Welcome back…”He reached to me and hugged me while tapping my back twice.“You prove to me I was wrong… You did great” he sa

Chapter: EpilogueQUINN’S POV“I’m sorry. I know it wasn’t enough but… I am sincerely sorry for everything”I am at the jail to visit Tyler. We haven’t talked since the first time again that we saw each other. I asked him so many questions about the past.It was great to open up everything to him about what happened to us before. I asked him if he loved me before and I think he’s giving an answer with all honesty. Not disappointed though that he doesn’t love me that much but I’m over it anyway.“I am sure that you will understand that I couldn’t forgive you that easy after what you did”“I know. It’s too late for me to regret everything”“Yes, you are”“But I still hope and wait for your forgiveness, Quinn”“Eventually… maybe I will… who knows?”“Yeah. That’s great”He smiled at me and I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t smile back even if it was forced.After seeing him here, everything felt so light to me. This is what I have been waiting for to finally be happy and free. I just want justice and n

Chapter: Justice and RelationshipEVANDER’S POV“What did she say? Did you convince her?” Tyler rushed to come to me.I took a sigh and speak, “No”“What?!! Tsk! That girl is so hard to talk to!” he rants stomping his feet.“You should face this mess, Tyler. It’s about time for you to clean this up” I straightly told him.“What?! Are you insane?!! Are you telling me to admit that I raped her and send myself to jail?!! Don’t be stupid!!!”“I am not stupid!! I am telling you the right thing to do!! She’s traumatized! I witnessed how cold she is and how she cried in fear when it almost happened to her again and you’ve caused that to her!!”I am already shouting at him. It just feels so heavy inside. It’s so difficult for me to choose between the two of them.“Did you understand the consequences? Remember that you’re in this mess!!”“A ness that you put me into!!”“So, you’re blaming me now?!”“Yes! Because technically this was all yours!! Now I regret why I helped you and put the girl I love into this misery”“So, it’s

Chapter: End of Beginning For Us?RHYS’S POV“He’s back”I keenly observe how her reaction changed. Her aura darkened and she was on that cold Quinn again.I wasn’t lack of knowledge that the previous, Quinn was slowly getting out of her shell and I am happy that finally she loosens up and that’s actually one of the reasons why I distanced myself. If Evander is the reason why she’s getting back to her old self, I don’t want to ruin that opportunity for her.“Are you ready?” she asked.Am I? I don’t know what to do as of now. Everything feels so messy and hard to deal. I’m not fully prepared for this day to come. Never thought that day is finally now.“Not sure though”“You should be. It’s about time”“You sure about this?”“When I will be sure if not now? I can’t let the opportunity slip that he’s here so I can finally send him to jail. You’re willing to help me, right? You promised?”Yeah, I did and I have the intention of doing that promise. I don’t want to disappoint her just like I did before.“That’s the reason w

Chapter: He's BackQUIN’S POVAfter a talk with mom, I headed upstairs and immediately throw myself at the bed but I also have to get up to fix all my things I brought back from our quick vacation.Huh? How did this cap get into my bag? Who put it in here??I dashed downstairs and check the living room where mom and I talked and surprisingly, I saw the cap that Evander handed me.Then means that this cap isn’t mine but it exactly looks like mine. I bought that from a souvenir store in the resort. Who could this be?I’ll just return this to him tomorrow maybe. I couldn’t have this if mine is at my bag.…The next day, I woke up early and I am able to catch mom downstairs so we had breakfast together. It’s been long since we haven’t eaten together since we got here.“Can we do this often?” mom suddenly asked.I just smiled as a response while chewing my food.“I kind of miss us together in the dining… those happy moments with your dad---”“Mom…”I don’t want to hear anything about him.

Chapter: ChangeQUINN’S POV“Is everything set and ready?” Rhys asked after we are all gathered outside.“Evander is not here yet---”“I’m here!”He’s coming close with his bags on his shoulder until our eyes met and I have to look away because I f*cking feel awkward!This is not me! I always have the ability to play with guys seducing them just to get revenge and now he can easily tame me. This is so irritating.“Let’s go” I said and pull up all my things and walk first before them.We ride a to the airport silently and I like how quite it is. After reaching the airport, we buy tickets and waited for a while before we take off. Every one of us is already inside the plane so I have to find my seat beside the window, as what I always like to be positioned.I seated and waited for Rhys to come since he’s last on the line while I am first so I got a seat first among us all.“Where are you going?” I asked when I finally saw Rhys but he’s passing me towards the back.“My seat is at your back” he simply st

Chapter: Quinn and the twoQUINN’S POV“Quinn!”And the devil is here again. He will never get rid of me. He sits beside me like nothing had happened. I don’t know how he can act so normal after what has happened or maybe it’s just me who feels a little awkwardness because that kiss.“I lose balance that’s why it happened” I spoke to him. I have to say it first before he thinks of something else.“Hmm… that sounds impossible but okay…”“Are you saying that intentionally did that?” I fiercely asked while glaring at him.“Woah, I didn’t say anything like that” he denied.I felt a sudden irritation after his response that he tries to deny what he just said.“Why don’t you just leave me and come with them?” I irritatingly spoke.All of them were enjoying dancing with the loud music and annoying lights that get to my eyes. I don’t want to come here but since I was the reason why they haven’t didn’t enjoyed yesterday, I just want to at least come and have my presence here and let them enjoy the night.“You will be al
