"I never thought you would want to see me." Dean said as he gestured to me to sit. I sat down on the sofa and Dean sat across me.

"I.. might overheard your conversation with Adrian in the hospital." When I was in the hospital, I walked out to find Adrian since he forgot his phone on the table. I overheard him talking to Dean about Phoenix.

"About what? We talked about a lot of things."

"About you want Phoenix to leave me." I said and he nodded.

"You both are not real right? You're only married because he wanted to save his ass from his parents." Dean said like it's nothing. He looked at me coldly and it was obvious that he doesn't like me.

    Angelo VanderI looked at Phoenix completely concerned. He's drinking alcohol like it's water and he's out of his mind. He looked out the window and it seemed like he got a lot of things going in his mind.I heard from Adrian that Dean made Phoenix choose between ILLICIT or Lana. It was clear to us that he's in love with Lana. He's still not admitting it yet but for me.. it was pretty obvious.Dean was pretty cruel to say that when he knew Phoenix needed both. Phoenix needs ILLICIT as equal as him needing Lana in his life. I don't know why Dean just let the rule gone when he knew Phoenix's starting to be happy."You okay?" I asked as I stopped him from drinking his sixth glass in 30 minutes."Lana wanted a divorce." Phoenix

It was a hard blow for me.Now, I'm looking at the divorce paper with Phoenix staring at me. He didn't say a word ever since he got into the apartment.

I pushed the paper to him so he could sign it."I'll sign it later." He said and I nodded. I got up from the sofa and walked towards the last box of my things that I alread

    Dean AlessandroI walked back to the office after Phoenix gave me his ILLICIT card and made the decision to leave instead of staying. I sat down and looked out the window. I could see Phoenix going towards his car as he called someone.It would be a pure lie if I say that I'm not hurt with his decision."Dean." I heard Chance walking into my office and I didn't even bother to turn to him."He.. left huh?" Chance asked as I saw Phoenix getting in the car. I didn't need to answer that because it was clear that Chance knew about it too. Chance stood near the window looking at Phoenix driving towards the headquarter's gate."He's happy, at least he leaves.. because he wants to be happy." Chance said and I could see Phoenix stop

I kissed his cheek to wake him up. He opened his eyes and smiled."Why.. are you dressed up?" He asked as he pulled me back to bed."I have to work again." I said and he held me tightly in his arms."Wake up, sleepy head. I made you breakfast downstairs." I wiggled out from his arms and tried to pull him out from the bed.

    Phoenix Sterling"I love you." I practiced saying it in front of the mirror. I looked so dumb right now but I couldn't care less."Lana Castroff, you're officially.. uhmm.. Lana Sterling. ARGHHHHH!" That's so cheesy and cringey. I want to scratch the wall so bad at this point."I love you." I said flatly and I sighed. I threw my body to the sofa and looked up to the ceiling.
