It suddenly became quiet. Moses was no where to be found. But his men were still lurking around. We had to use sign language, which I suck at it. Philip kept signaling me to do something I just couldnât guess. We were separated after being shot at. We couldnât communicate. We had to leave, if we wanted to stay alive. I scanned around to see if there was an opening. The was, but unfortunately Moses was close by, holding a gun. âFools, you think you can outsmart me, oh you donât fool me. I am going to get rid of you and make sure your dear Eric regret ever knowing me!â, Moses kept rumbling. I locked eyes with Philip, using my hand, I pointed at the opening. He nodded. I had a gun, but with only a bullet left. I couldnât dare waste it. To get out of here we need to come forward. Attacking

His eyes widened. He was angry and fired up.He would have smashed his brotherâs face if he was in front of him.Diana tapped him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.âWhat do you want?â I continued to ask.âAre you with Cloud?ââNo,â I answered without thinking. I knew it was a trick question, but I had nothing to lose.âWhere is he then?ââDo you plan on asking me questions about your brother, or will you tell me why you are calling?âHe was silent for a moment. âI want to help bring down George. He is not fit for the company,â he muttered.âOh, why call me when you can just call your brother

After solving the murder case, Diana and her team made arrangements to leave George in the hands of the New York Police department.We all met at my my resort for our final gathering. Diana led the meeting. âThanks guys for all your help in solving this case, I am glad I called for your helpâ she said.âNo need,â Philip said with a smile. It was obvious he had feelings for Diana.Why did he marry Racheal in the first place? I wondered.âFortunately everyone came out unharmed,â Diana praised. She turned to Phoebe. âThank you Phoebe, for your loyalty and trust,âPhoebe smiled at her. I couldnât more prouder to the boyfriend such an amazing woman, I said to myself.Unbeknownst to me I was being watched. âDonât make it too obvious you have fallen for her, itâs disgustingâCloud pointed out. I glared at him. He wasnât alone , Vannessa and Fin tagged along. âDo you
Ericâs POV I couldnât hold it anymore. A little touch from Phoebe can make me hard. I noticed how shy and fluttered she was as she stared into my eyes. I pretended to be upset in order to see how she would react. It was so cute to see her fumble and try to please me. I took advantage of that and asked her for a kiss. She gave me a perk mot a kiss. I thought it was cute and sweet. But a man who was head over heels for her, I couldnât just take a peek as a kiss. I pulled her closer, cupped her cheeks and deepened the kiss. I forced my tongue in her mouth and danced along with hers. Her face all red. She was beautiful all fluttered and red. I broke away for us to breathe. âYou cheatedâ almost out of breath Phoebe muttered. âCanât I?â âCome with meâ âWhere toâ âHmmm, somewhere magicalâ She chuckled. She claimed she had lot of scares but I donât see any. I walked her inside bed room. We sat on the bed and felt buterflies in my stomach. Whenever i am wi
Phoebeâs POV We arrived earlier than expected. Maybe I was still nervous. Eric being the gentle, held my hand throughout the drive. We arrived at a big house , with lot of flowered decorated in front it. It was beautiful and magical. I couldnât believe my eyes. I glanced at Eric. Still holding my hand, he smiled. âI know I am handsome, you can limit the stare,â âHeyâ I yelled. He chuckled. âI meant What i said earlier. They are not as scary as you may thinkâ he convinced me. Andrew parked the car and took the lead. There was gigantic gate protecting the beautiful house. You needed a security check before entering. I was in doubt, why we hand to get out of the car before seeing the guards. âMy family are pretty secretive. You need to crack open their shells before you can get your hands on them.â Eric explained with a chuckled. I didnât understand a word he hand just spoken. What the hell was he saying?â Andrew came back, He informed Eric on what he had discussed with
The Li Residence Mr. Li was angry with Racheal for agreeing to divorce Philip. He was very disappointed in her. For the first time, Mr. Li raised his hand to strike her, but his wife intervened. Speaking in Chinese: "Donât, she is still your daughter," Mrs. Li said. "Donât defend her, she is a failure just like her brother." Racheal lowered her head, feeling as disappointed in herself as her father was in her. She knew she had failed her father and family. She blamed herself for being soft and gentle towards her enemies. Suddenly, she knelt before her father. Her brother and mother looked on, surprised by her reaction. "Father, I know I let my guard down and allowed my enemies to thrive over me. But I promise, no one makes a fool out of the Li family. I will make them pay for the humiliation they have put me through. I swear on everything I hold dear." With determination in her eyes, she vowed to make her enemies pay. Her father smiled, proud of his daughter once again. He b
Ericâs POV The smell of flowers was refreshing. Vanessaâs pale skin contrasted with her red hair. She was indeed beautiful, then and now. Everything about her was elegant and classy. She was a princess in her world. I kept stealing glances at her even though she was so close. Our arms nearly touched. âYou donât need to stare at me like that. I already know I am beautiful,â she remarked jokingly. I chuckled. âYeah, I know.â âYet, still, I am not the one in your heart,â she said with a smile, pointing at my chest. I knew the smile was a sad one. I returned the smile. âYes, indeed.â âYou donât need to feel guilty.â âI donât.â She chuckled. âYouâre still the same,â she laughed softly. âI didnât mean that. I do feel bad for not remembering our childhood together.â âProbably because it wasnât important. You know, when people lose half their memories, they usually forget the things they regard as unimportant,â she explained. Her voice was soft and quavering. âI wil
Ericâs POV Aunt Greta told a story about my grandfather and his father. She said we were quite similar in many ways. Just like my father, we were both stubborn children. Grandfather fell in love as a kid while traveling with his father. Unfortunately, the girl in question was an ordinary Thai girl. She was beautiful, he said. His father wasnât interested in creating such a connection. In times of war, a love that was supposed to bring people together instead created a rift between a father and a son. His father led to his first loveâs death, and on his dying bed, he asked for forgiveness, but my grandfather refused. Aunt Greta wanted my help to convince my grandfather to visit his fatherâs grave. So here I am, standing in front of his door, hoping he would open up, since I have been coming for a week now. âGrandfather, you donât need to act like this. I just want us to talk. This is your last warning.â No response from him. This was my only option. âIf you donât c
Philip's POV Everything feels like a dream. I'm trying hard to be friends with Eric, but itâs difficult, especially since he got married. Heâs a changed man. Heâs always smiling now. I heard he loves visiting Phoebeâs home country. The point is, heâs happy, and Iâm just here in my office, drinking alcohol. We found out who attacked Ericâguess who? Rachael Li. I expected that. Sheâs unstable and needs help, which is why I sent her to a psychiatric hospital, since Iâm technically her husband. But things are clear now. No hard feelings. She claims she has changed, and who am I to judge? Iâve changed too, but not entirely. I still lack the courage to confess and apologize to Diana for being a jerk. Six months should be enough to get my act together. "Ping!" "Who the hell is disturbing my..." I pause when I see whoâs calling. "Diana," I mutter. I clear my throat and answer, "Diana." "Can we meet?" "Yeah..." "Someone wants to see you. Can you make it right now? Iâm in front of th
A Few Hours Ago⌠Phoebeâs POV It was high time I faced my fears and made things right. I decided to visit my father. Mama accompanied me, and the moment we entered the police station, I asked her for some alone time with him. She nodded in agreement. I approached the officer at the front desk and politely asked to see my father. He directed me to the waiting area, where I took a seat and waited for him to be called. Soon enough, he appeared. He seemed to be doing well, smiling as he took his seat. âIs there something you need? You havenât visited for a while now,â he said. âBeen busy,â I replied. âYeah, I can see that. Youâre getting married.â âHuh!â I exclaimed, surprised. He chuckled softly. âDonât be surprised. Your marriage to Eric is everywhere.â âHmm. I just want you to listen. Will you do that for me?â He nodded. âIâm sorry.â âHuh?â âDonât be surprised. It was bound to happen anyway,â I giggled. He chuckled again. âIâm sorry for being a bad father, for
Phoebeâs POV As expected of the most famous family in Singapore. Mr. Hong makes our unprepared marriage London to the public. Everywhere is flooded with the news of the number one bachelorâs marriage, ERIC HONG. Itâs not easy being his soon to be bride. The hate is as equal as the love. People think king i donât deserve to be with him. He is too precious for me. Catrina snaps at me interrupting my thoughts. âGirl where is your head. You canât be distracted when you have a big wedding at hand. More importantly you are the brideâ she points out. âExactlyâ âHuh!âshe exclaims. âWhat are talking about?â Ella asks. I sigh. âI havenât you guys seen the hate comments on the news. No everywhere. Itâs hard to be the bride when you are the only one who seems to be happyâ I explain. They stare blankly at me with a frown. âI didnât think you care about what others think about you?â âMe too, guess people do changeâ âThat is not it. I feel like itâs being rushed. We are not
Phoebeâs POV Mama has all the reasons to be upset with me. I did tell her I was not having sex with Eric, and now it turns out I am pregnant. She keeps dragging me along. I donât know where we are heading. She probably doesnât know either. âMama, mama, mama!â âWhat?!â She finally pauses and lets go of my hand to face me. âWhat? Do you have anything to say now?â âNo I donât, but I need to know where we are going l, we have been walking and itâs getting dark. We are a few steps away from the hospital I think itâs best we..â âNo, we are not going back to that place. I know what you are trying to do here and it wonât work on me this time aroundâ âMama, listen pleaseâ âNo, I am not going to listen to your lies anymore. I have had enough of you trying to act smart with me. Yes may not be the best mother in the world but, I did want you to end up like me. I am trying here Phoebe. I wish..â her voice breaking. âMama,â I call, softly. âNo donât say a word. I am not done yet. You tol
Ericâs POV âCongratulations, you are pregnant,â hearing the doctor announce such news, my eyes widen. I canât believe it. She is really pregnant. I blink, trying to grasp what he just revealed. Forgetting that I am not the only one surprised. âWhat!!!â âDoctor, you must be mistaken. There is no way my daughter would be pregnant. She hasnât been with a man before, please do your checks well.â âHuh!â I exclaim, and Grandfather Hong and Aunt Greta exchange glances. They are in shock. The doctor is the most shocked. He glances at Phoebe and then to me. âMama, calm down. Itâs probably a mistake, right, doctor?â She winces at the doctor. Unfortunately, the doctor seems to be an honest man. He still insists on the fact that she is pregnant. Honestly, I have been hoping for such news. The last time we made love, I didnât use a condom. She passed out, so she hardly remembered what happened after. And that is good news. She would probably have my neck if she finds out I am the cause
Phoebeâs POV âHello, little brother, do you miss me?â she smiles. Little brother? Mr. Hong is not the eldest? I canât believe it. She is pretty and rich; it makes sense if she is related to the Hongs. I pause and stare at the two people who are arguing. Instead of being surprised, Eric is smiling like he knows what is going on. I wonder what is happening. I didnât know Mr. Hong had an older sister. Eric isnât the only one who seems unfazed. Her presence interrupts everything. Everyone is staring at us now. I thought it was supposed to be a birthday party. My stomach groans. I am still hungry, and yet I canât even eat anymore. I draw too much attention to myself with the way I am eating. This isnât like me at all. I donât understand why I am like this. âWhat are you doing here?â Mr. Hong asks. âIs that how you welcome your older sister?â she answers. âI ask again: what are you doing here?â âAnd I say again: is that how you treat your older sister?â He glances at Eric. âDid
