ATLASTen missed calls from my beta is what welcomes me to Palm Springs. I knew that would happen, which was why I didn’t connect my phone to the wifi on the plane. And Andrew is pissed, rightfully so.But he should undertones the only reason I didn’t tell him this is because I know he’ll try to convince me to change my mind. To leave it and let nature run it’s course. But you know what? I’m fucking tired of how the universe is running things and I’m taking matter into my own hands. Writing my fate now.I didn’t even go to the hotel I will be staying at. Or I’ve thought to get maybe an apartment, a penthouse. I’m sure Jade will want to be visiting her family even if we don’t live here anymore. They seem very close, from what I’ve seen from afar.It wasn’t hard to get the address of her father’s house. He was the king here. Gaining entrance into the property was another thing. Because we were stopped at the first gate. And the house has three leading main gates. You have to pass throug

JADEI tried to convince myself I didn’t see anything and it was just my overactive mind breathing fake scenarios. But it felt real. It wasn’t just a dream because I know what I saw and as much as I tried to convince myself it isn’t that. The truth is glaring at me.Jaiya noticed how I was getting flighty and she kept asking if anything was wrong. Not wanting to worry her, I lied ad said it was nothing. There was no need to scare her too unless is was sure it was something serious. For all I know, it could be the paparazzi. They liked following me like endless flies. And I’m saying this with the utmost respect seeing as they were doing their jobs.It just so happens that they have the most annoying job in the world and it makes me sick.We went back to the penthouse. Deciding to walk since that was how we came. I kept looking over my shoulder had expecting to see the an following us. But it was just a busy road with everyone minding their business.I thought we would get jumped, kidna

JADEI freeze hearing that. Jaya doesn’t look any better with her widened eyes, almost filled with horror. I tried to come to terms with it. Remembering the weird energy I felt between them. But I said I was going to mind my business so I never brought it up. Now, I don’t know if I should have or not. Because she looks like she is about to have a metal breakdown.“Once?” The question slipped out. And I wanted to smack myself in the head because why does it matter if it was once? She seems haunted by it.I was ready to apologise for stepping over the line when I saw the slight shake of her head. It was very small, I would have missed it if I wasn’t studying her so well.“Twice?” Another subtle shake of her head. I reached for the bottle of water on the coffee table table and gulped down more than half of it in one go. My stomach rumbled, not agreeing with it because it was one things happening to my body to another. “How many times? Jesus.”The way I sounded must have been funny becaus

JADEI didn’t understand what Jaiya meant by that. Why did she have to reject Damien? They seem to like each other well enough, so what exactly is coming between them? It doesn’t make any sense to me. Though, she looks like she is not in the right frame of mind to answer that question right now. I didn’t push her either, I wrapped my arms around her and comforted her until she stopped crying.We were both quite for the longest time. The only sound that could be heard in the apartment was the honks of cars from outside. And even that was faint.The doorbell rang and I got up to answer it before she could make a move.When I opened the door, there was no one there. The anxiety started coming back at full force. I remained calm, as much as I could with shaking hands and peeked looked around. But there was nowhere toe even look, it was just a little foyer that leads to the elevator. I pressed the elevator button and it opened a short second later. Which meant, no one was using it. Who ran

ATLASJade hasn’t reached out or even looked for me. At the very least, send a message. I thought she would do at least one of that after the message I left her, but nothing. It was like I wasn’t even existing and that was the worst feeling ever. I hated every part of it.I would take her anger any day. Her yelling or telling me anything she wanted, over this simple game of ignoring me. It was making me go crazy.I find myself pacing my hotel room more times than not. Staring at the telephone in the room and waiting to be called from the reception because she is here asking for my room.Or just looking at my door, expecting her to knock and just walk in.I have thought up every possible scenario you can think of and none of that has happened yet. The only thing I am doing is wearing a hole in the carpet on the floor of the room. I couldn’t turn my phone off because I was hoping for a call or message form Jade. So, I muted Andrew instead. Because he was still texting me.I think he has

ATLASI don’t know why I thought Ford would seem different, now that I knew exactly who he was. Not just come very rich businessman. Though, as much as he was in my good books for taking Jade in and everything, I still have a little doubt about him, knowing he is friends with Brandon.That man may share the same blood and name with my father, but they couldn’t be further apart. Even a random stranger could have more similarities to my father than him. To know he is hid blood brother. It pisses me off for some reason.Ford leads me to his office, which was a subtle message that I didn’t miss. he was too professional to tell me to get out of his house. He would never say those exact words, but going out of his way to show me I’m not welcome, now, the political side of him will do that.Maybe I can see how they are friends with Brandon. They were all so manipulative, silent in how they controlled you because they’ll make you think you’re actually doing what you want.I remind myself to b

JADEAfter losing through the security footage and reaching the conclusion that it was tweaked, we decided to he’d back to the house because it didn’t feel safe anymore in the penthouse. Even with all the security, if someone could get in and out without being seen, then who knows what else they are capable of.While the car was rolling through the driveway, I noticed figure heading towards the gate.“Is that—“ Jaiya took the words right out of my mouth. Our attention was both on the man who was walking alone, looking like he couldn’t not anything going on around him.I sat back in my seat and released a breath.“What is he doing here?” Jaiya once again said the words I was thinking, only she sounded a lot more angry than confused.I was positively speechless. Atlas? Here? It looks like some sort of bad dream.“I guess we just solved the mystery of the invisible roses bringer and anonymous tipper.” I muttered under my breath, closing my eyes and forcing myself to not look at where he

JADEDad said he’ll give me time to think it over, which was shocking. I mean, I really couldn’t understand the man anymore. One time, he acts like he wants me to get rid of Atlas in the next second, and in the next minute, he is acting like someone trying to get us back together, I’m getting confused now.It has been a day since I came home and saw Atlas leaving, and now, I had to live with the reality that he was close. Jaiya said meeting him would be the best way to fire figure out what he was doing here. But I wouldn’t do that unless I had absolutely no other choice.Just the thought of it makes my belly churn with anxiety, and I am no doctor but I know that is not good for me or my baby. Speaking of which, I rechecked the time on the digital clock, estimating how many minutes until Antonio arrives.After the day long closed door meeting they had, he’d headed to his apartment and slept because he was really exhausted. Dad was the same too because I haven’t seen hi since our conver
