My sincere apologies goes to Team Travis. To be honest, I never imagined these two being together from the start, neither did I want to go down the cliche 'second male lead turns evil because he can't have the female lead' path. I never saw Travis that way and you can agree with me that he is a really good man who deserves his own happily ever after. Also, ewww. Realistically, I'd judge any woman who gets with her husband's uncle. I mean, she doesn't have to go back to the husband, sure. But getting with the uncle? Nope. Well, that's just me. What do you think? P.S. Things are about to get interesting. My hidden hints may take long to be revealed but they get revealed in a sweet way anyway. Anyone remembers the fact that Travis finds Beverly somewhat familiar? Hahaha! I'm excited! More chapters soon, stay tuned.
KIAN’S POV“Water…” That one word from a strained voice is the first sign of life Leslie has shown since I walked in here fifteen hours ago and it instantly jerks me out of my worried-stricken state. I grab the bottle of water that I kept on the bedside table for this expected moment, uncap it and
KIAN’S POV “Did you just say Mike?” I ask her, still paused by the door. It might not even be who I think it is but the sound of that name sends a rush of memories forward. I had gone through high school and college without friends. Everyone just wanted to be close because of the benefits they co
TRAVIS’ POV She is a horrible sight; one that’s bound to give a weak-minded person nightmares for weeks. Even as she is no longer that ‘animal’ I almost ran into on a dark road, but now a well treated human lying unconious on a hospital bed, that image of her from that night is still one that will
LESLIE’S POV It was a struggle to wait till the weekend to see Tammy as planned. I had to suck it up and go to work for the rest of the week. The second design team which is now my team practically does nothing but wait on the inputs from the first team that Daphne now leads. Everywhere I go, ther
KIAN’S POV I don’t think I need to rant anymore about how grueling my week has been. Because it’s the same routine with only a few changes here and there; buried myself in work, haven’t heard from or seen Leslie since that fateful day at the hotel, my mother won’t stop talking my ear off about ever
LESLIE’S POV With a track record of acting without thinking and also getting in trouble for it, you’d think I’d change. Especially when it comes to someone like Mike but it’s hard to think when you are shaken up and compounded with strong emotions that force your hand and your head. So despite know
LESLIE’S POV My skin crawls at his words. The bastard, making me seem like I am mentally unstable as a result of Tammy’s death. The policemen seem a bit surprised and I know it’s because Mike called me his sister. I also know he did it intentionally. That two-faced bastard. I just need to go into
KIAN’S POV There is something about silence that makes you feel like you are losing your sanity. It’s strong, potent and has a way of pushing you to the edge. And that’s because while the world around you is in silence, your head isn’t. The silence of the world at a time when you really need to h
CHAPTER 68 [Welcome Home ] ~SOPHIE~ “Please tell me you two didn’t fuck in here.” Celeste’s voice cut through the quiet like a whip, sharp and full of disbelief. I glanced over my shoulder, pausing mid-fold as I stuffed another sweater into my bag. She was standing above me, her arms crossed, a
CHAPTER 67 [ Whenever, wherever ] ~TRAVIS~ Having fallen for Sophie’s schemes more than once, I guess it was normal for my brain to process every unusual thing she does as a trick to lure me in. Perhaps, that was why I imagined her smirking when in truth, she was just as stunned as I was to fi
CHAPTER 66 [ In The Flesh ] ~TRAVIS~ They were still under the harsh glare of my headlights. While Justin didn’t exactly look his best, Sophie was…worse. An ugly sweater hung loosely over her upper frame, her hair was in a messy bun and was close to tumbling all over her face as she took Justin by
CHAPTER 65 [ The Real Deal ] ~TRAVIS~ The past week has been nothing short of exhausting. I had barely stepped foot into my office before I was bombarded with calls and meetings, my inbox flooded with contracts and reports that had piled up during the engagement trip. If it wasn’t work, it was
CHAPTER 64 [ Caged, Not Sheltered ] ~SOPHIE~ There were many questions; like how on earth she was in a place that was at least an hour's drive from her family’s mansion, and why she was chugging down cheap beer when I have only ever seen her enjoy the finest wine. The longer we stood there, wo
CHAPTER 63 [ Edge of Insanity ] ~SOPHIE~ In between the endless nightmares that were triggered by the events of the past week and waiting for Travis to reach out to me again, I had been pushed to the edge of insanity. I thought it couldn’t get any worse, but it did. It got worse. And now I
CHAPTER 62 [ Sugar Daddy ] ~SEBASTIAN~ (2) I’ll be damned if I have to suffer because my father was trying to correct his misdeeds. “Do you have a better plan?” My mother faced me squarely, an unimpressed look in her eyes. “Can’t we just ignore him? He’s too weak to do anything by himself any
CHAPTER 61 [ Daddy Dearest ] ~SEBASTIAN~ (1) “I am going to move into the estate with Sophie.” Daddy Dearest knew how to drop a bombshell—the kind that takes a while to recover from. It was also the kind that makes me wonder if all the drugs he’s been pumped full of in the past month have made
CHAPTER 60 [ The Hell for Bad Fathers ] ~SOPHIE~ I stared at him, convinced I’d misheard. “You want me to what?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I couldn’t help it. “Move back in,” my father repeated, his tone calm, as if he hadn’t just said something insane. Did he even hear
