The following day, Riele went over to Charlotte's house. She was unable to get any sleep because she didn't trust Utter with her best friend. What if he decides to hurt the baby? She arrived at her place and pressed the doorbell several times but there was no sign of Charlotte. She was about to kick the door with her leg when the door opened only for Charlotte to see Riele in a karate style. She was shocked."What is going on?" She asked.Riele cleared her throat, ignored her question and went inside the house. "What took you so long to open the door?""I was just coming out of the bathroom and you didn't tell me that you were coming around." Charlotte was watching her friend search the whole apartment. "What are you looking for?""Where is he?""Oh! Kim?" She asked.Riele came to meet her and she could tell that something definitely happened last night. "Yes, Kim. The one you said came over last night drunk, the one...""Chill girlfriend, I know the Kim you are talking about.""Well

Jay and Madison were through with the shoot and Jay ran to meet Riele who was lost in thoughts as she walked aimlessly around the company. "Hey," he called.She turned to look at him and flash him a bittersweet smile. "Hi, how was the shoot?" She asked.Jay could tell that there was something different about the way she sounded. He knew something had happened in his absence."It was okay. I finished fast so I could catch up with you. What are you doing here though?""I was just getting some fresh air.""Is there something you aren't telling me?""Uh?"Jay held her hand and pulled her close. "Your face..." he stroke her face. "...your eyebrows..." he touched them as he straightened. "...and the sound of your voice tells me something is wrong.""It is nothing... I just...""Is it because of what happened last night? I apologized and I told you that I will wait for you.""No, Jay, it is not about you.""Then who?"Riele bit her lips as she looked at Jay. He was so worried about her. Why

Kim and Jay were seated in the office discussing about something important. "There is a new gig and I feel I had to let you in on it." "What is that?" He passed the documents over to Jay and explained the details to him. "We will be going to California for a fashion show and from what is written there, you can see that our presence is very important." Jay flipped the pages as he read the documents. "So you are saying that we are all going for this trip." Kim nodded. "You, me, Madison and Charlotte." Jay stopped reading when he noticed Kim stopped without calling Riele's name. "Aren't you forgetting someone?" "Who?" he pretended as if he didn't know what he did. "Where do you leave Riele in all this?" "It is not compulsory for her to be there." "What is going on, Kim?" "How do you mean?" "I thought you were trying to build a bond with her but with what I am seeing, I feel like you are trying to distant yourself away from her." "That's not true." "Really?" "Can we not talk

Riele decided to visit Charlotte after work and then go home later. She entered the apartment and saw her preparing dinner. "You love cooking," she dropped her bag and joined her in the kitchen. "It is not me but the baby. ""But the food will still pass through you. ""What are you driving at?" she cast her a quick look before going back to what she was cooking. "I am saying that you love food."Charlotte laughed. "How was work today?" "Well, the usual.""What did Jay and Kim say about your dress?""Nothing.""What do you mean nothing? Were they busy?""Kim is acting strange and I don't like it. "Charlotte noticed the sadness in her voice. She knew they had so much to discuss so she turned off the gas and gestured for her to sit down. "What happened?""Remember yesterday I told you that he came around...""Without any purpose, which of course I doubt."Riele looked at her and she could tell she was making fun of the whole Kim coming without a purpose thing. "Are you going to b

Riele got home and she was happy to see Harry awake, watching T.V. She stared at him for a while and she remembered how much he troubled her when he was younger. He has grown into a big boy and she can't wait to see more of him. For a young boy, he is handling matters pretty well. She hasn't sat down to talk to him about things but one day she will. "Harry, I am home." He rushed to meet her and took the things she brought with her. "Welcome sis." "Why isn't the door locked? I have told you several times... " "to shut the door whenever you are out…I know." He locked the door. "How was work?" "Exhausting." "And Mr. Kim?" he turned to look at his sister who was already giving him weird looks. "Since when did you and Mr. Kim become close friends?" "We aren't friends yet but I would love to be close to him. He seems like a sweet guy. I prefer him more to that Jay guy." "Jay is a very sweet person. You are just saying all this because you haven't met him yet." "Maybe and maybe n

It's urgent."The assistant hesitated for a moment, but then complied with Utter's request.

Charlotte had to walk Harry home before going back to her own house. On the way, she met Madison and Utter talking and laughing. She greeted Madison but ignored Utter. “Hi, Maddy,” she greeted with a smile. “Shouldn’t you be at work?” “I was fired.” “What?” She nodded and went on to tell what happened, but she hid the part where she slapped Riele. “I pleaded with him to forgive me, but he was adamant,” she shrugged. “I don’t think that makes any sense.” Charlotte thought about the whole scenario, but they didn’t make any sense to her. “Why would Kim behave so irrationally?” Madison shrugged. “I see you are doing pretty well.” She smiled and nodded. “Yes, I am.” “Who’s the father?” Madison asked, without a second thought. “Um…” she bit her lips and glanced at Utter, who was waiting for her response. “Is your child a bastard?” Madison whispered. “No, he is not. I just can’t tell you who the father is.” She patted Madison’s shoulder and left. Madison couldn’t believe what had

Riele had no idea what to reply to him. She couldn’t tell if he was serious or if he was pulling her legs.“I promise that I won’t hurt your feelings, Riele.”“Um…Kim, I don’t think we should…” She tried to leave, but he held her hand and pulled her closer to him. He lifted her chin so she could look at him.“I love you, Riele. I know we started on the wrong foot, but believe me, it made me realize that I love you.”“Kim…I can’t…” he placed his index finger on her lips, shushing her.Riele had no choice, but to remain silent and listen to his confession.“Give me a chance, that’s all I am asking for.”“Kim…”“Don’t turn me down without knowing my true intentions, Riele.”“I…”“Do you love me?”“I…” She bowed her head. She didn’t want him to see her tearing up, but he did before she could hide it.He lifted her chin and saw her teardrops. He pulled her face closer and kissed her eyes. “I don’t want to make you cry, and I never want to see you cry.”“Kim…”“Do you love me?”She nodded s

At midnight, Kim took his phone and sent a text message to Riele. “Where are you now?”“I thought you worked after seeing your mom.”“Is everything okay with your mom?”“I’d appreciate it if you would reply to my text messages.”He dropped his phone close to his bed hoping to hear a beep or something, but there was no notification at all. “Are you home now?” he heard Jay asked on the phone. “Is everything okay with you? Do you feel fine?”Jay entered the room where Kim was and sat on the bed. “Does that mean I will see you tomorrow?”After a few seconds, he looked at Kim who was looking at him back before looking away. “I am sure he wouldn’t mind.”No one needed to tell Kim who Jay was on the phone with. He folded his arms and listened to their conversations. “Okay, I will see you tomorrow then.”“How is Charlotte?”“Okay. I have to go now. Bye.”He hung up and dropped his phone on the shelf beside the bed. He was about to lie down his head when Kim stopped him. “How is she?”“W
