“She is on her way now,” Alisiar sends Caleb a text.

"Shall I join you to talk to her for a while so that you can establish a sort of connection?" Alistair asks

“No, I've got this." Caleb shakes his head.

“Just take the other room, Venita is likely to stay till day break” Caleb tells Alist-air and he

agrees with him.

"Good luck." Alistair smiles knowingly.

Five minutes later, Alistait texts Caleb to come down because Venita is waiting at the lobby and as Caleb enters the lobby, scanning the area until his eyes lands on Venita.

She is sat on a plush couch, sipping a cocktail, her curves accentuated by a fitted red dress and Caleb's pulse quickens as he approaches her.

"Venita," he says, his deep voice drawing her attention and her eyes lock onto his, a sultry smile spreading across her face.

"Caleb," she purred, setting her drink aside. He sits beside her, his proximity igniting a spark of attraction.

"You look stunning," Caleb compliments, his gaze roving over her.

"We can't leave yet." He emphasizes "What's wrong?" Melanie's eyes narrow "We left the nurses at home. They were resting in the guest room when we left the house, and it didn’t cross our minds to invite them," Ryan says as he pulls out his phone.

What's up?" Ryan kisses her cheek. "We need to talk." Karen's expression turns serious. "What's going on?" Ryan's instincts tell him this wouldn't be a casual conversation. "I know you spent the night at Melanie's house and you guys shared the bed." Margaret leads him to the living room, gesturing for him to sit. "How did you...?" Ryan's eyes narrow. "That's not the point. The point is, you're a grown man, and I trust your judgment. But I want to remind you that Melanie's been through a lot… She deserves respect and care." Margaret's stern look silences him. "I know, Mom. I care about her deeply." Ryan nods, feeling a twinge of guilt "I know you

He does t know a lot of things about Melanie, but from what Caleb told him, she seems to be really close to her twin sister, for her to leave her comfort zone to come to stay with her, but her sudden refusal to go to her sister's house, sort of threw him off guard, and now Caleb is not saying anything concerning where they are supposed to go from here, and now he is left wondering where to take them.He glances at the rearview mirror, catching a glimpse of his best friend's concerned expression and his babe's stony silence.

She has been trying not to let it get to her and just figure out a way to deal with her issue with her mom so that things will not get messy at all.She has also been looking forward to seeing Caleb all morning. For some reason, she wanted to speak to him about the latest development, because she didn’t want him to think that he was the problem, or he did something to her when she decided to go MIA like she always does because she can’t come up with a better option, and especially after the lovely breakfast that he had sent her way, she had even taken extra care to dress nicely after Alistair left her room, hoping to make a nice good impression.She has a yellow and black long off-shoulder sundress, with a slit that reaches all the way to the

    As soon as Kali drops the call, Melanie’s mind reels. She wonders how she will deal with the situation when she finally gets to that bridge while stuffing all her things in the mini-traveling bag she brought with her.“In the next few hours, I should be out of here, but where do I go from here?” Melanie questions herself as she routinely stops forcing her unfolded clothes into the bag.“The only people I know here are Kali and her little family, but I can't even go back there because what if I get comfortable in my sister's house and my mom decides to pay her a surprise visit?” Melanie ponders, and she shakes her head, to dismiss the idea of going to Kalinin’s house because she knows that for her mom to wake up one morning, and decide to visit her, then she can also do the same to her other daughter and it won't be strange in her dictionary.“I also know Ryan, but that man wants nothing to do with me since he hasn’t left me a message since he left, nor has he tried to even call or rea

    As soon as Melanie hangs up the call with Shirley, she puts a call through to Kalinin almost immediately. It tells her that the line is busy, but instead of just letting her sister call her back, she persists with the call until her sister picks up her call. “What the F is wrong with you?” Kalinin asks her angrily as soon as she picks up her call. “Shirley told me that Mom went to Pearl Coast, and I wanted us to agree on what you are going to tell her before you spoil things way beyond what I can salvage for her,” Melanie informs her sister. “What is that supposed to mean?” Kalinin asks pissed. “I figured that you may not be able to come up with something very fast, so I decided to call you immediately,” Melanie let’s get sister know. “You should know that I won’t tell our mother something that you haven’t told her, because I know how she likes to blow things out of proportion and also overreact,” Kalinin hisses as she says. “Whoosh!” Melanie exclaims. “I can’t believe that you

    “Hey, I got the surprise delivery that you asked your best friend to deliver to my room, and I am grateful for that.” Melanie’s eyes sparkle with gratitude as she types the text that she wants to send to Caleb before she procrastinates and forgets to do so. As she types, she smiles to herself.She hit send, but the messages only ticked once; they didn’t double-tick, which can only mean one thing: his data is not on or he is not available.“Excuse me, Alistair, do you know where Caleb is? I tried texting him to thank him for the breakfast, but the message didn’t deliver,” Melanie says, frowning as she turns to Alistair.“I’m afraid Caleb is unavailable at the moment, and that is exactly why he sent me here to drop food off for you, so that you can know that you are still on his mind,” Alistair’s expression turns sympathetic.“Is he okay?” Melanie asks with furrowed brows.“He is perfectly fine, there are just a few things that he needs to sort out quickly, which is exactly why he is in
