After going back to Natalie's room, Elena sat on the bed, thinking about everything that had happened. Natalie asked, "Were you able to find out who tried to frame you?" Elena shook her head, "No, I wasn't able to find out the culprit. But I wonder who it could be."Natalie was surprised because she had thought she was the only one who was out to destroy Elena. The fact that there was someone else made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't like the fact that they had gotten caught or that their plan wasn't successful. She knew how much Elena would have been humiliated if the plan did not fall through. She wished she could meet them. Perhaps if they could work together, it would be easier to teach Elena the lesson she wanted and make Kyle give up on her.Back in his room, Kyle called one of the officers who had arrested the woman and asked, "Have you been able to find out who she's working for?" The officer replied, "No, she has still refused to speak. She keeps claiming that someone
Elena sighed without giving Kyle a reply; the last thing on her mind was food. The fact that she had spoken about her past made her remember things she didn't want to, and she already began to feel sad. Kyle, who was still sitting beside her, waiting for her to say what she wanted to eat, noticed her silence. Minutes passed; ten, and then fifteen. Seeing that Elena wasn't still speaking, Kyle turned to stare at her. He wanted to ask her if she wasn't hungry, but then he saw tears dropping from her eyes. He was surprised."Elena, what is it? Why are you crying? He asked."Elena wiped her tears, saying, "It's all your fault for making me speak about the past." "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."Kyle moved closer and wiped the tears from her eyes. As she stared at him, she noticed the mark he had earlier shown her on his face where she had slapped him, and she sniffled, "Umm, aren't you going to do something about your face? It's going to leave a scar.""I did get a balm," Kyle said.He
When it was morning, Elena opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. She saw Kyle, who was already awake, sitting down and staring at her. "Good morning, beauty," he said.She rolled her eyes, "Good morning, Kyle."Getting up from the bed, she picked up her clothes, which she had cleaned last night and left to dry, and took off Kyle's shirt from her body before wearing hers back. "I'll just go back to my room," she said. "And about what happened yesterday, don't think too much about it. It will be in your best interest if you forgot that it happened. I just got carried away, and it meant nothing to me. Also, I spent the night just like you wanted, so I'm hoping you'll keep to your agreement and put what happened yesterday behind you, especially the incident where I slapped you."Kyle smiled, "So you're telling me for the second time that I should forget that something so amazing.....""Oh, come on, Kyle. We both know that you deliberately put me up to it. This was the reason you wante
Elena went back into the room, quickly put on her dress, and came out. She smiled at Mr. Ferdinand and said, "I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting, Sir.""It's fine," he replied. "I know women usually take long, so I expected to wait.""Oh no, it isn't that," Elena said, smiling."Shall we?" he asked."Yes," she replied.Together, they left the hotel and made their way to the back. As Kyle had described, there was a bonfire party with more than three fires, and people surrounded them. They were all wearing bikinis, and swimsuits, and having a good time. Elena looked around, wondering if Kyle had arrived. She checked the time and saw that it was exactly the same time he had given her. She was about to ask Mr. Ferdinand if he wanted to meet Kyle, but he said, "Okay, I have a few things I need to attend to with some business partners. I'm sure you can enjoy yourself, and I'll see you during the meeting."Elena nodded and watched as he walked away.Samantha sat across from Mr. Lowell,
Seconds and minutes passed as Elena kept staring at Kyle. She knew she couldn't reject him in front of everyone, as he'd be thoroughly embarrassed. In the past, she would not have cared about the effect her rejection would have on him. But after what Kyle had done for her in the past few days, she couldn't bring herself to humiliate him. In the end, she placed her head on his chest and hugged him. Everyone began to cheer for them and soon turned their attention back to what they were doing.Kyle stared at Elena's head and circled his arms around her neck. For a moment, he had been afraid that Elena would reject him. Although she did not accept him, the fact that she did not chase him away rudely, as she usually did, showed that he was making progress, and he was content with this for a while.He cupped her cheeks and kissed her. Afterward, he smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Elena.""Thanks for what?" She asked. "I didn't even reply to your proposal.""I know," he replied. "Bu
Chad turned around and went back to his office, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart. He wanted to call Elena to talk to her about how he was feeling, but he knew she was probably dealing with her own problems, so he decided not to.Meanwhile, Elena sat in her room, thinking about all the words Natalie had told her earlier. Natalie had warned her that Kyle was going to hurt her again and she was right. Elena had confessed to Kyle that what hurt her the most was that he went for the only girl her best friend loved. She knew that Chad would be heartbroken if he found out, but it was also possible that Mara would hide it from him and not let him know. She decided to tell him; she wouldn't let him be a victim of such deception. After hesitating for a while, she finally picked up her phone and called Chad.Chad, feeling down at this point, saw her call and knew what she wanted to tell him about. He did not feel like talking about it, but he did not have a choice because Elena wasn'
Elena nodded, "Okay, Kyle, I understand everything you're saying. It's just that... well, let's just put it behind us and see where this goes.""Okay," Kyle replied, "I got a call from the police officer who arrested the lady who tried to set you up, and it turns out that the person who contracted her was Mr. Ben.""Mr. Ben? The Mr. Ben from Josa and Co?" Elena asked.Kyle nodded, "Yes, he's the one. Apparently, he's also one of your enemies.""Yes, he is," Elena said. "He never tried to hide his detest for me.""His plan was probably to humiliate you." Kyle pointed out."So in the end, it turned out not to be Natalie. You see, I told you that she was...""Oh come on, Elena, this doesn't absolve her of being an evil person. I already told you what she tried to do to me. You know what, now that we have known that Ben is an enemy, we need to be sure. If you can convince me that Natalie is not an enemy and means well for you, I'll back off.""So what are you trying to do now?" Elena aske
When Natalie finished her phone call, Elena heaved a sigh of relief. She had tried to convince Kyle earlier that Natalie was different from the person he assumed she was. After all, Elena had spent most of her childhood with Natalie and could tell when she was being sincere. Kyle had insisted on tapping Natalie's phone line, so Elena had taken the opportunity to find evidence to prove to him that Natalie wasn't her enemy. Despite the urgency to leave, she hurried to Kyle's room.Upon arriving, she exclaimed, "I told you, I told you.""Told me what?" Kyle asked, opening the door for Elena. He was expecting good news from her and she seemed happy, yet hesitant."Natalie isn't who you thought she was," Elena replied."What do you mean? What happened?" He asked."I listened in on her phone conversation like you said. She was talking to her brother, and all she had to say about me were positive things. She genuinely wants the best for me, and she has no idea that I tapped her line. It wa
