"XAVIER VAUGHN. He is Lucius' younger brother. He's a bit weird. Sometimes he's overprotective of me, and there are times he just doesn't care. Kinda like right now. I think he was dropped when he was a baby, that's why he's like that." Latton explains while glancing at Xavier and watching how he flirts with different women. John giggled and nudged Lucian. He then made an excuse and took Vivian with him. Now Lucian and Latton are left in the lobby. Never once did she look him in the eye. Sensing the awkward vibes, she turned her back on him and started to move away. She then heard him ask, stammering his words, "How… How… How are you?" "I'm fine," she responded. She didn't even look back at him or ask how he was doing. This left a sore spot in him, and it's thumping in pain. It felt like a wound that kept on opening up no matter how many times it was sewn. He ignored the pain and followed her to the bar area where she asked for vodka on the rocks. He tried to start another conver

LUCIAN shook his head, and then said in a gentle voice filled with certainty, “No lies.” Then he lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead, "Why would you think I would lie to you?" She smiled bitterly, then replied, "I'm so tired of disappointments." Shortly, the music stops and then the host starts to speak. "Let’s ditch this place." He whispered into her ear. "What?" She asks while giggling at his suggestion. "I saw your parents are here to support the event. They might look for you." She explains. "They’ll understand. Let’s go." He said coaxingly. "Where do you want to go?" She asks curiously. "There." He says while pointing at the garden. They walk to the garden, away from the venue, till they become concealed by the hedge maze and trees. Lucian then embraces her from behind and starts sniffing her. She was startled, but she was unable to move as he held her tightly. She could feel the warmth of his breath around her neck, and the thumping of his heart on her back. "W
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 121 - June 19, 2026 (The Present Day)
[Continuation of the first part of Chapter 1] “March 31, 2024, is a Sunday, not a Friday,” the nurse says while checking Latton's vital signs. Her voice instantly jolted Latton back to her senses. She glanced at the door where the doctor had just got out of. “It’s normal that your memory is blurry. Don’t push yourself too much, everything will return soon.” The nurse added. When she looked at the nameplate she saw the nurse’s name was Karen. “Thank you, Karen,” she mumbles in a low voice. Karen smiled, then before she left she said, “We’ve already contacted your family members. They should be here in no time.” Latton nods. “I’ve lost two years of my life?” She said to herself. Her head still hurts, and her mind is filled with clouded memories, her thoughts are mashed, flashing like strobe lights. Shortly, a blurry memory enters her mind, and it confuses her further, “If I got shot on March 31. Why do I have memories beyond that day? Why does Victor’s face keep flashing in my m
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 122 - Poisoned Thoughts
April 1, 2024, A day after the Circle of Hope incident. AFTER knowing that Latton was out of danger, Lucian went to Malena, who at that time was in the custody of the LAPD. His hands were trembling in rage as he drove to the police station. Shortly, he arrived at the precinct and sat patiently in the visitation area while the police ushered Malena in front of him. “I'm not aiming for her. I'm aiming for you.” Malena yelled through gritted teeth. Lucian's jaw clenched in rage, he slammed his hand on the table. Startling, the officers nearby. If there were no glass separating them, he would surely grab her and strangle her. “What did I do to you?” He yelled back. She smirked, “You did a lot and people like you don’t deserve to be happy.” She declares. “If this is about me cheating…” He didn’t have time to finish his sentence when she intervened. “I don’t care how many women you sleep with. You want to know something real, Lucian? Nothing happened to us. Because you disgust me.
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 123 - Why Lucian?
April 1, 2024, 4:00 PM WHEN Albert woke up and saw the time he frantically got up from bed, Alison was sleeping beside him. He discreetly changed his clothes and ran to his car. “Shit! I fell asleep. I should not have gotten home to change clothes. I should have stayed in the hospital with my daughter”. He yells while starting his car. Unbeknownst to him, Alison was staring at him from the window of their room smiling eerily. “Sleeping pills work like a charm.” She said to herself. “Latton must be livid waking up without her father at her side.” She added while laughing maniacally. When Albert got to the hospital he was surprised to see that Victor was in there feeding Latton minestrone. “Good evening, Albert!” Victor greeted him while smiling faintly. “What is going on here?” He asked. When he saw Victor, his mood immediately shifted to annoyance. Latton sneered, “Victor is feeding me because my dominant arm was shot.” She said while pointing at the bandage on her right arm. “
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 124 - The Deal
LATTON is still in the hospital but was about to get released in the afternoon. Victor kept his promise and stayed in the hospital. He sleeps in the extra bed near Latton and this annoys Albert as he doesn’t like Victor at all, but he can’t force him to leave as he helps keep Latton calm. Against his will, he discreetly called Victor to the corridor and told him about the hearing that would happen later in the day. “The hearing against Malena is about to start this afternoon. Latton doesn’t know. I want you to accompany her to the manor and make sure she won’t hear anything about it. Do you understand?” Victor furrowed his brows, “Why are you hiding it from her?” He asked curiously. Albert glanced at both sides of the hallway to make sure no one was listening. Then he whispered, “We thought the case would be easy, but the defense attorney gave out evidence that states Latton was not the intended target and there’s a possibility that from first-degree attempted murder, will drop to s
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 125 - Malena's Flight
ALEX called Lucian after the trial and gave him the news. “Mr. Ripley accepted the plea bargain without any issues. As you requested, Malena will be transferred to the Pennsylvania Behavioral Institution today and will stay there for a year.” Alex explains. Lucian did not respond and only disconnected the call. “I hope that’s enough as payment.” He mumbled to himself. “I wish Latton waited for my explanation and would forgive me.” He added as he smiled mockingly at himself, gulped down his whiskey in one go, and threw the glass at the wall, shattering in an instant. Meanwhile, Latton was in her room when she heard a knock on the door. “It’s open.” She yelled. Soon, Victor enters her room, “I hope I did not disturb your rest.” He mumbles. She shook her head, “I’ve been resting for quite some time now.” She replied with a faint smile. He clears his throat and then says, “I know I swear to stay beside you till you get better, but I need to go to Texas. I have important matters to att

When Latton saw her brother he looked startled and it piqued her interest. She slowly moves towards him and then asks, “Hey, what are you up to?” He gasped, “Nothing.” He replied with a slightly high-pitched tone to his voice. “You look puzzled. Is everything okay?” she asks while narrowing her gaze. He nodded then swiftly moved away to go to their father’s home office. His weird behavior aroused suspicion in her, "What are you up to, Derek?" She asked herself as he followed his movements with a curious gaze. Shortly after, Derek knocked on Albert's home office and soon entered. “Have you seen the news?” He asks
