(Anastasia's POV)I drag Byron out of the arcade wearing his frowned face. Well, I just kick his ass in the street fighter game and he keeps wanting another round but I noticed the death glare of the kids behind us so I decided to drag Byron out of the arcade. We've been playing in one game for two hours since Byron won't accept defeat."C'mon, just one last round." he insists.I laugh causing him to frown. "Kids in there would practically kill us if you insist on another one round, Byron."He groaned and stare at the entrance of the arcade center. "How much is this building?"My eyes bawled in surprise. "Are you planning to buy this building?"He didn't respond yet he keeps glaring at the building like he wanted to eat this in whole. Seeing the determination in his eyes, I drag him out in front of the building and hailed a cab. We jerk inside his car, forcing him to drive. He let out a sigh before he start the engine and drove away from the arcade center."What were you thinking? Do y

(Anastasia's POV)We arrived at Albany at 5:25.SHIT!!!! I jerk off his car and wave at Byron for a goodbye. I was about to open the main glass door of the entrance building when someone's familiar voice called me."Ana?"It's Caleb!! thank God! I thought he was already upstairs."Why did you wait outside? I can at least greet Mom.""Uhmm... I-It was late s-so I'm wondering if I... I will wait for you here..." I'm trying to hide my nervousness as I am sweating furiously. "And besides, Mom was sleeping when I came out of the unit."He nodded and glance at his watch before he walks to my position. He pulled me beside the main door as I am blocking the entrance of the building and kissed my head."I'm sorry if I'm late, there was an urgent meeting held," he explains."It's okay. Shall we?" I said.Caleb smiled and held my hand before we walk to his car. I took a glance at Byron's car in the opposite direction but his car was gone. He must be dashing off before Caleb might see him. We both

(Caleb's POV)I woke up with a warm feeling on top of me. I slowly open my eyes and saw Anastasia sleeping soundly as her naked body wraps around mine. I groaned and grab the blanket to cover our body, then back into hugging her tightly.While caressing her back, the scene yesterday flashes into my mind again.I saw her...Coming out from the other car.And I recognize those plate numbers.I know that belongs to Byron. That car where she came out belonged to Byron. She was with Byron yesterday.Why...Why did she lie?Why she's with Byron?But I don't want to jump to a conclusion. She said she loves me. Anastasia loves me. I won't suspect her feelings towards me were not genuine because I know that she really means everything she says but... why did she lie to me?She already knows how much I hate Byron, should she take the initiative to distance herself away from him? cant she reconsiders that to be on my side?I want to get angry.I want to scowl at her.But I don't want to see hurt

(Anastasia's POV)Today, I was spending my day with Ally, I've been so busy with my life that I forgot I have a best friend who's planning to have a vacation here. We haven't seen each other for many years and I feel like there are way too many secrets between us.We were at the cafe in front of the airport. "By the way, how many days were you going to stay here?"She shot me a glare, I mean... death glare.What?! Did I say something weird? I was just asking though. Is my question sound offending? It is not like I'm kicking her out this instance but I was just curious dude."I was hoping that you prepared something special for my special day. And yet, you're asking how long am I going to stay here? Are you serious right now, my dear Anastasia?" she sneered with her raised brows.Her special day?I spotted a calendar on the wall... SHIT!It's her birthday!! What the fudge am I thinking?!! forgetting her birthday is a huge sin for her."O-OH! Happy Birthday, Ally! H-How can I forget your

(Anastasia's POV)I squinted my eyes to adjust my vision as I am not sure because only the woman's back was flaunted in front of me. As I was walking slowly, I accidentally bump into the edge of the couch causing me to groan in pain as it directly hit my thigh. I rub my thigh while silently cursing."Ana?" I raise my head to see Caleb walking towards me. "Are you okay?" he asks but I step back causing him to stop in his trance."What... What is she doing here?" I pointed at Lianne, standing and staring at me with full of vengeance."She--" he was cut off."Caleb we're not done yet!" she yelps irately.I chuckle, "Not done with your smooching?" I ask Caleb with raised brows."Wait-- what? What smooching are you talking about?" he ask with full of confusion plastered on his face.I just roll my eyes while scoffing at his so-called innocence. I didn't respond and walked passed him but he suddenly grabs and pull my arm causing me to bump into his chest. He leans closer and smells my face,

(Anastasia's POV)"Something happened to us."I am left breathless like I am running on a treadmill, or rowing away as if some ghost from the past is chasing me. There is burning in my lungs as I desperately try to draw in enough air to sustain functionality. Slowly, I felt my heart punctured a million times over by tiny pins. It feels as if his statement left me numb, not even slightly painful, just numb.H-HOW DARE HE DO THIS TO ME?! I THOUGHT HE LOVES ME. IS THAT ALL A LIE? AM I THAT DUMB TO BELIEVE HIS WORDS AND TRUST HIM FULLY?I feel my face flush a deep shade of red, and I scrunched up my features as I avoided his eyes. A lump in my throat was about to burst and it really did, a low whimper started to let out from my mouth as my tears falls spontaneously. I cover my face with my palms and turned my back to him. I held my knees to control my breathing.I can't face him. I can't show this side of me. I don't want him to see how weak and vulnerable I am today."But that was in coll

(Anastasia's POV)Everything was packed. The luggage was ready in the car. I wanted to clear my bladder so I went to the bathroom one last time.The Campsite was hours away from here. So, it's going to be a long journey. I brought along Alice and Adam. Damian had ordered 10 pizzas just in case we get hungry along the way and don't see any restaurants.Yes, Damian was coming with us. He just arrived from Australia last night, and Caleb invited him to this camping which makes me more furious as Lianne was joining in too.What a perfect situation!Stepping out of the bathroom, I saw Caleb carrying luggage, striding to the main door. I guess it's time to go.I strode outside the mansion and felt envious of the expensive cars lining down the garage. Damian and Adam brought their sports car Ferrari but we are not using their cars as we were driving Caleb's Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to fit us all in one car instead.Once inside the van, me in the passenger seat as Caleb is the driver today, our

(Anastasia's POV)The surrounding was buzzing with energy and excitement. We were told that the Camp will officially start tonight. Until then, we had to set our tents. We could look around if we wanted to. The boys and girls were separated. So, Caleb, Damian, and Adam had to go to the other side of the river which flowed from a huge waterfall in the middle of the clearing. There was a bridge connecting both sides. It looked pretty cool.When the guys left, Caleb didn't even take a glance at me which makes me feel more annoyed and frustrated.Why is he that angry?I should be the one who's angrier as I saw him kissing Lianne the other day, though it's not him who initiated it.I rolled my eyes at him and scanned the surroundings. All the females present were around our age. There were no old ones which I was glad for. I didn't need those cranky and judgmental ass ladies spoiling and ruining my Camp. There were blondes, brunettes, redheads, and colorful heads like Ally. Some were short

THALIAMy eyes began to well up with tears of conflicting feelings. Anger, worries, and longing came out all at once. He disappeared without a trace after saying he would come back, and God knows if he’s alive or not. He made me fucking worried for nothing!“Where were you?” That was the only thing I asked.“I have to take care of something–”“Then why did you have to vanish like that?” My voice cracked up in the end as I failed to control it.He avoided my eyes with guilt lingering all over his face. I don't know what to feel. But there's only one thing I could figure out after seeing him again.“To protect you from harm.”I firmly shut my eyes, tears streamed down my cheeks as his words were like hitting my chest with a knife. All he could think was to be my protector, whereas here I am thinking he might have chosen the others over me.Am I being too selfish?I wiped my face as I looked around. Good thing my bodyguards are outside the university. “What happened to Uncle Michae

THALIAI flinched as I was startled when my phone suddenly rang. I got up in bed, sighing as soon as I saw the time. It's almost three, but my eyes won't even close just a bit.My attention was switched to my phone, which still kept ringing. Who would call at this hour?I answered it without looking at the caller.“Wha–”“Thalia.”My brows furrowed at the familiar voice in the end. I checked the number, but it's unregistered.“Ca-Cassie?”“I'm sorry for barking at the wrong tree.” My jaw fell as soon as I confirmed it was her. I jump off the bed and gaze outside the window.“Where are you? Who's with you?” I desperately asked.However, I heard her chuckle and sighed deeply.“I intentionally took the chance that my mother used to work with Laverde and got in as their so-called illegitimate family member.”Her words left me baffled. So… she's not a real Laverde?“What's your reason?”“I have found evidence and took a chance to get closer to the enemy.”“Evidence of what?”“I only want

THALIAI inhale sharply as soon as I exit the building. My chest feels heavy and tightened, and I don't know how to cope with the pain deep inside of me.My fingers firmly curled around the handle of my handbag.It's just my hunch. It's just my guts. It's just my suspicion that it was Damon. But why don't I feel this suspicion is real?I hate it.My phone rang, and Damon's secretary was plastered on my screen.“How was it? Is it Damon?”“No.”Then why did that jerk get Damon's phone?I scratched my temple as I walked to my car. I entered my car with a frown.“Where did that robber find it?”“He said a woman came and sold the phone.”I paused and confusedly thought about who that woman could be.“Woman? Who?”“He couldn't recognize her because she covered almost her face.”Why do people love covering their faces? Scared of the sunburn or hiding from the authorities?Since it's a woman, there's no way Damon is in trouble. So, I don't give a fuck with that woman who stole Damon's phone a

THALIAMom and Dad quickly went to Paris last night. Leander and I left here in New York so that we wouldn't be embroiled in the quarrel with Laverde.It's my mother's family, so I'm afraid Mom will break down. I heard her screaming to Uncle Adam on the phone before they left. I sighed as I put down my spoon on the table. I glanced at Leander, who was also in deep thought in front of his breakfast.“What's gonna happen now?”“What else? Mom possibly cut her ties with them.” I tightly shut my eyes in frustration. Why are there traitors in our lives? “Are we just going to stay here and wait? Mom might break down.”Leander let out a frustrating sigh. “Dad is with her. Also, they won't let us tag along with them.”It's been two decades since that happened. Doesn't the grandfather's case have a statute of limitations? I wonder how they found evidence despite the long period since it happened. Anyway, if it really proves my granduncle was the suspect of my grandfather's death, I hope he

THALIAOne week.It's been one week since Damon went missing. I even helped in looking for him but to no avail. Not even the authorities could find Damon Kane. There's no body or anything that can lead to his whereabouts. It was as if he vanished into thin air.I was depressed and cried every night while I had this hope every day of finding him together with the authorities.My parents and Leander didn't complain about how I poured everything into this search and rescue. They can see through me how desperate I am just to find him and I was hoping he's alive and in a safe place.Uncle Michael, who caused all of this, was on the run and hiding somewhere. Where's his courage to kill off my father's happiness now? Maybe he was also the reason why Leander's secretary was abducted and injured. Leander poured his soul into finding her but was also abducted by Uncle Michael. As of now, I don't know why Leander's secretary was abducted.I refused to talk to Frederick. Not because I hate his

THALIAI mustered my courage to point my gun at the person who was about to invade the car, but I stopped to see someone as my reflection, sticking his head through the window.“Leander!”“Thalia? What the hell are you doing here?!”I immediately jerked off from the car but was greeted by a woman leaning at the car. She was wearing corporate attire without a coat, and a red stain was visible on her dirty, white sleeve. “Who is she?”“My secretary. She's injured.” Leander opened the door, and I helped him place the girl in the back seat.Why is his secretary here? Did he come to get her?A rustling sound inside the forest, followed by repeated shouts from men, made us freeze.“They followed us.” My brother growled.He pushed me inside the backseat and entered the driver's seat. He was about to start the engine hastily, but I immediately stopped him.“Wait, Damon is still not here!”“We don't have much time.”He shoved off my hand, but I stopped him again.“No! We need to wait for Dam

THALIAI immediately wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me and kissing him harder than before. He lifted me and placed me on his lap, wrapping my legs around his waist. Our lips remained sealed. It was like we couldn’t get enough of each other, devouring one another. His hands were moving down, under my shirt, his fingers skimming over my skin, sending a rush of blood to every part of my body. His touch gave me the feeling of longing, and I relished every second he pushed his tongue and lips against mine. I lowered my hands and yanked his shirt up. He broke apart long enough to pull it over his head and toss it aside. His hands slid around my head, pulling me back to his mouth. I ran my hands down his abdomen. It was firm, with the perfect amounts of dips and ripples. His lips traveled down my neck and shoulders as he whispered sweet words in my ear. I gasped when he suddenly reclined the seat and softly moaned as I grabbed his face to meet my lips to communica

THALIAThe whole ride was filled with silence. He is driving his Ferrari while I'm here, sitting in the passenger seat with a lump in my throat. I don't know why I suddenly felt anxious being alone with Damon. The last time we saw each other, we were both fuming in our situation. But still, here I am, wanting to be with him while ignoring the supposed protocols.I gazed at him and saw his furrowed brows and solemn eyes focused on the road. Did he feel the same? Did he feel the awkwardness between us?"H-How did you find us?" I killed the silence."Actually... Leander and I talked before the abduction."I immediately gaze at him. "A-Are Are you the one who caused his wounds?" "Of course not. Do you think I'll harm your brother in that way?"I looked away while reprimanding myself for thinking he would do such a thing."N-No... you would not.""When I was going home after meeting him, Leander's secretary called me and tracked his phone." He explained, which left me with no choice but

THALIAI held my chest and felt my pounding heart while hearing his voice, calling my name repeatedly. Is that really him? Did he come to rescue me just like in fairytale movies?It's only been weeks since I haven't heard his voice and not seen his face, but it felt like I hadn't heard from him for years.The back of my eyes warmed, and I chuckled silently at my thoughts.He's always there when I'm in danger. He came to my rescue when I needed him the most. He's really indeed my knight in shining armor--"HERE!" I flinched when Leander shouted near my ear as he pounded his fist on the wall.That woke me up, and I immediately screamed at the top of my lungs. "DAMON, PLEASE SAVE US! THE CONTAINER IS BURNING INSIDE!""FUCK!"I leaned my ear on the wall when I only heard him cuss but eventually distanced myself from the wall because it was getting hotter."Are you sleeping?" He said while coughing.I raised my gaze and glared at Leander but he only scoffed annoyingly. I was about to talk
