I got into my range rover and drove over.I reached my destination and got out of my car whilst grabbing my gym bag. I went to the metal door and two guards were standing there, blocking the entrance,"Name," said one of them."Black Wind," I replied. I saw the color drain from there faces and they both gulped. I smirked. They then opened the door and they let me in. The gym was empty, good.I wrapped my hands up and started my workout.I started with my casual: 50 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, I climbed the rope, and then, went to the punching bag. I started punching over and over again until I couldn't feel my hands. My knuckles were bleeding and I was tired. But I kept on pushing myself to my

All I did for the rest of the week was this exact routine.I worked extra hours every day but, I'm glad that it's finally over. I'm so exhausted, I'm glad it's the weekend.I have been wanting to go to a bar to clear my mind and get drunk off my ass.Once I had gotten home and taken a shower. I decided to wear ripped jeans with a black crop top and black heels and hit the bar.This time I took my other car. I know, I know what your thinking. Anastasia how many cars do you have?! Well, haha, ten, I know what your reaction is, You have ten cars?! Well, yeah, as I said, I love cars. I have a lot of money, so, I spend it on cars, also, I help the poor. I used to be in their position, I have been on the streets, so, I know the feeling, besides using my money only on cars? Why not donate some of it to the poor?

Yes,It's true that I have to end the story Must Date The Playboy. I already planned out everything. It just doesn't feel right to end it the way others want it to be, a happy one.What happened to Chloe? Does Nathan come back? Is River really an underdog? Does James and Tori end up together after what happened? And where the hell is Zach?Do you believe in, Love is sweeter the second time around? Do you believe in second chances? Or do you stand to believe in the saying past is past and learn to let go?

** TORI's POV **I woke up with a smile plastered on my face. I stretched my arms to the other side of the bed, expecting Zach to be lying beside me, much to my disappointment no one was there. As I opened my eyes I'm in a bed, alone. I rubbed my eyes and sat up glancing at the surroundings thinking that he's sitting somewhere.I stood up taking a tour around the suite to find him."Zach?"I called out trying to ride along with his surprise.Where are you? Breakfast in bed perhaps? Pondering at the thought of me and Zach together again made me wonder how we're going to face everyone. I assumed when he said those three words last night we had an understanding.He wants me as much as I want him.As I checked the dining area of the suite, I saw silver platters carefully prepared as if a grand feast will take place. One thing I noticed though was a big cup of probably hot choco as if it was just prepared secon

** TORI'S POV **He's here. I heard the bell rang.I barely slept last night. Aside from the fact that I was busy packing for my supposedly vacation, I can't help but think why I even said yes to his offer.Checked the clock and it's four o' clock.Right on time.I can really say that going with Zach to Mexico is really a bad idea. It made me think twice if it's what I really wanted, and somehow I know I can be happy if I spend the next forty-eight hours with him. I had to be selfish. I know it's not going to be as easy as what we thought, saying goodbye and forgetting everything? What if we can't fulfill the promise we agreed upon? What if in the end, I'll keep Zach for myself?I dismissed the thoughts in my head. Today's the day that we'll have to forget everything and act as if nothing happened. We know that we need this. We will forget the lies, the drama and leave everything in New York. It's just going to be

** TORI's POV **"Please. Leave." Zach's words were pleading and I can feel the pain in his voice. His eyes were still closed and it's clear that he doesn't want me near him. I'm somehow thankful that his eyes were shut, because the tears in my eyes were flowing freely. I'm trying my best to suppress my sobs.I watched him for about a few more seconds and then I took my retreat. I can't bear it anymore. I don't want to see him like that. I ran as fast as I can, away from him, away from this premise. I ran outside the school and hailed a cab to my house. There I started to burst in tears.I kept picturing Zach. At that moment, I want to come to him. To take back all the things I said a while ago. That it's not true that I don't love him anymore because in reality, I still do. I love him so much that it hurts.But I can't back out now. I have to do this for Chloe. I once promised that there is nothing coming in between our friendship.

** ZACH's POV **In his own odd way, I guess, my dad, don't know how to be normal after all. He's being a father in his own unique way.Now that everything's settled, all I have to do is clean up my mess. I won't let Tori go this time around. I won't let her slide off the palm of my hands unless she hears me out.I'm ready to tell her everything she wants to know.I went to the third floor balcony, expecting James to be there. But to my disappointment, he's not. I've been calling him to ask if Tori said something to him but he's unreachable.Where in the world could he be?I've been to the studio, the library, and every possible place I could find both of them. I'm very certain that Tori's not with Nathan because he left the next day I learnt about his doings.Honestly, I didn't want him to leave right away but he insisted that he needed this break so that I could have the opportunity to explain everything to Tori.

** ZACH's POV ** 'What's keeping him so long?'I'm at one of our hotels in California where he's staying. It took me not long enough to know his location all thanks to good old Boris.With the perks of being an Anderson, I can do whatever I want. I can ride a private plane anywhere. It saves me a lot of time and time is what I need in this situation. I have to settle this once and for all. It's time to face my father.I've been thinking a lot. How I hate myself right now. Why didn't I hear Tori's explanation before? Why did I leave Mexico all of a sudden? Why didn't I ask for any explanation? And why is it that I waited a week to seek her out?I hate myself for being such a narrow-minded person. The moment I learnt that Tori used me, it never occurred to me that I used her as well. I came clean and only thought of myself. I blamed her for everything well in fact we just did the same. We used each other.If it weren't for Na
