Chapter: Chapter 121_ Forgive Him
Bob turned to Briella, nodding his head toward the door. "Go check who it is," he said.Briella nodded and stood up immediately, almost running to the door before flinging it wide open. She scowled when she saw that it was Ace. "It's you," she grumbled."Hey, kiddo." Ace raised his hands and ruffled her hair, making Briella's scowl deepen. He was always doing that to her, knowing very well that it annoyed her."Stop it," Briella hissed, slapping his hand away while Ace just winked at her. "Why are you here? Don't you always come back at night?" she fired, glaring at him.Both of them had always bickered since she had known him. That was because Briella was holding a grudge against him. After all, he had not been exactly pleased that Kate had come to her rescue that night, and she had also overheard Ace telling Kate that she looked suspicious and that Kate should be careful around her.Even though Ace had apologized for his initial assumption about her, Briella would not let it go easi

Chapter: Chapter 120_ Nausea
Bob was busy setting dishes on the dining table when he heard the door open and turned his head. "You're right on time," he enthused, waving Kate over. "I made your favorite meals today."Kate opened her still-sleepy eyes and yawned loudly before she could stop herself. She walked lazily to the table and looked at Bob. "Good morning, Uncle. What did you make?" she asked as another yawn escaped her lips."See for yourself," Bob said, nodding at the table, his eyes watching her carefully. He couldn't help but notice how she had been sleeping too much lately and constantly yawning.A week had passed since the night Kate had shown up at his doorstep with her minions, and they had been living off him ever since. Ace always went out early before anyone woke up and came back late at night, while the girl Kate had saved the other day had taken it upon herself to visit Kate every day to keep her company, a gesture he was grateful for.He had noticed that Kate enjoyed the young girl's company a

Chapter: Chapter 119_ Briella
"You put yourself at risk," Ace said, frowning at Kate. "That man could have hurt you if I hadn't reached you in time."One moment, he had seen her walking toward the building and had taken his eyes off her as he parked the car, and when he got out of the car, she had disappeared from his sight.He had raised an eyebrow as he wondered whether she had entered the building, and just when he was about to confirm his thought, he heard voices coming from across where he stood.Ace lost it when he recognized Kate's voice, and he rushed to the scene, reaching there in time to stop the man from striking her.Kate's voice softened when she heard the concern in his voice. "Thank you."Then she turned to the girl beside her. "Are you okay?" she asked, her eyes scanning her body.The girl's body trembled as she managed a nod."Who was that man?" Ace asked, looking suspiciously at the girl. "And why were you with him at this hour of the night?""Ace," Kate warned."What?" Ace asked with raised bro

Chapter: Chapter 118_ Redhead Girl
Lucas stiffened as Kate's sentence replayed again and again in his head. 'If I stay, I’ll eventually hate you. I feel suffocated being near you, Lucas.'His hold loosened around her, and Kate used that as an opening to leave his arms. She stood there for a moment as they stared at each other, their hearts hurting for one another.Then, Kate turned around and ran away from the garage, letting her feet lead her far away from the villa while Lucas stood there like a lost man, watching her disappear from his line of sight.She had promised never to leave him, Lucas thought sadly, as a lone tear finally slipped from his eye.Ace removed his gaze from Kate's direction and looked back at Lucas's face. Seeing how broken he looked, he felt like his heart was hurting, too.'Fuck,' he cursed silently, not knowing if he should stay behind and comfort Lucas with his presence or go after Kate. He was torn between his loyalty to Lucas and his duty toward Kate, and he didn't like the feeling one bit.

Chapter: Chapter 117_ You Hurt Me
“It was you?” Kate whispered.Lucas exhaled as he watched her, his eyes mirroring her pain.His mind suddenly replayed the conversation he had with her when she had told him about her parents' accident. She had blamed herself for it, thinking she had been responsible for their deaths.But no.It wasn't her fault.It was his.He was responsible for that accident.He had been the one who had run them over with his car.He could remember telling her that he was going to find the person behind the accident and get justice for her.Lucas's stomach dropped at the thought because now that he was faced with the truth, he realized he had been the villain in her story all along.How would he punish himself? Turn himself in?'You could stay away from her,' a voice said in his head, and Lucas shook his head immediately.No!He didn't think he could do that.Letting her go would kill him. He was going to accept any punishment from her except staying out of her life.Reaching that conclusion, Lucas

Chapter: Chapter 116_ The Truth
Lucas’s expression filled with worry the moment he noticed Kate’s reaction, and almost immediately, his chest tightened once again.He stepped closer and placed his hands gently on her shoulders, turning her to face him. “What’s the matter, Kitty? You look pale,” he asked softly.Kate slowly raised her trembling hand and pointed at the car. “That car…” she whispered. “Why is it in your garage? Who owns it?”Lucas glanced at the car before looking back at her. What was happening? Wasn’t it a new car that his uncle had just gotten for her? Why was she talking as if she recognized the car from somewhere?Confusion clouded his face as he looked at her. “Honey,” he called gently. “The car is for you. Uncle Julian got it as a gift. That’s the surprise he was talking about.”Kate’s lips curved bitterly. Yes, she was surprised, but not for the reason Lucas thought. Judging by the confusion on his face, she knew he had no idea what that car meant.She shouldn’t be asking Lucas about the car.
