Lana~Aaron walks out of the room in the pajamas I gave him, a smile cross my lips on seeing him looking so comfortable and cute, that too in my home.“Hey.” I whisper, patting the space beside him so he could sit down. He walks closer to me, taking his seat beside me, a smile crossing his features.“They still haven’t delivered it?” He asks and I shake my head. It’s been thirty minutes and the food hasn’t arrived here yet. I’m starving and I’m sure he is too.“Come here” he holds his hand out, pulling me to him. I took the hint and stood up, sitting on his thighs, my legs sprawled beside his so I could look at him. Aaron wraps his hands around my waist. “Called your mom?” He asks and i nod."We’ll go tomorrow but right now…" I trail off, gaze dropping to his luscious lips. His tongue powers out, circling his lower lip. “Aaron leans closer to me, rubbing our noses together "Don’t be shy, take what you want.” He mutters, giving me all the encouragement I need. I lean even closer to hi

Lana~This is it. I exhale, turning to see Aaron already staring at me, he clasps his hand against mine, squeezing gently in a reassuring manner.“Come on, let’s get this dinner started.” He tells me. I nod, looking out the windshield where my house was. Mother and Father are both in there, waiting for us.We got down from the car, I stood by the gate, looking at the building, a shudder ran down my spine. I felt Aaron’s hand encompass mine, giving me the encouragement I very well need."Come on, it can’t be that bad.” He mutters, taking the first move and pushed the gate aside. I follow his lead and stepped into the compound, walking straight to the door.I sucked in my breathe, knocking the door twice. “Hey.” Aaron calls out beside me. I hum, waiting for them to open the door. “I like you a lot, Lana Monroe.” He whispers. A smile made it’s way to my face as soon as he utters those words, immediately turning to see him already looking at me. He grins, holding my hand in his and brin

Lana~“Stop the car.” I felt choked up, like I couldn’t breathe well, like there wasn’t enough air and I was drowning in it.“W-what?” Aaron turns to look at me, his eyes widening on seeing me gasping for air, slapping my chest repeatedly, face red.“Stop the car!” The car comes to a halt, I immediately push the door open, rushing out of the car, gasping for air. I fell to my knees, clutching my chest and dragging my breathe as much as I can.“Baby, Lana what’s wrong?” Aaron ran from the other side, crutching on his knees as he holds my shoulders, trail of sweat on his forehead, eyes fill with worry, breathing uneven.“T-th-“ I couldn’t get any words out of my mouth, tears filling my eyes. Aaron holds my face between his hand, his eyebrow pinched with worry. He Sighs, pulling me to him and hugs me. I felt my resolve crumble, tears leaking from my eyes.“I’m here with you, baby. I’m here with you.” He murmurs, rubbing my back. My heart hurt so bad, I wanted to rip it open from my chest

Lana~A grunt escaped my lips as my eyes flutter open. I glance beside me to see Aaron sleeping peacefully, not disturbed by the incessant ringing of my phone.Whoever it is should be ready to pay for my lack of sleep. I got up from the bed, walking towards the table in the room where my phone vibrated. Ellie’s name displayed on the screen.I sighed, looking back at Aaron who wasn’t even bothered, bending to pick the phone, clasping the speaker against my clothe and walk out of his room.“Lana.” Her voice came out shaky and clogged up. I furrow my eyebrows, pausing to look at the phone to be sure she’s the one. Did I hear wrong?“Ellie, what’s up ? It’s literally six am.” I say, walking down the stairs barefooted."I know and I’m sorry but do you think you can come pick me up? I- I need your help. Sasha can’t coke.” She says, I pause in my steps, wondering what could be wrong with her.“Ellie, is everything okay? Are you done?” I ask, already getting worried with the way her voice sou

Lana~I walk into the house where Aaron was busy pacing around, eyebrows pinched in a confused manner. “Hey.” I say, dropping the bags in my hand on the table. He snaps his eyes at me, relief showing in his orbs.I quirked an eyebrow up, confused.“What’s up?“ I ask, slipping my feet out of the slippers I had on."You got a delivery.” He says, showing me the card and bag in his hands. “Oh, what’s this?” I ask, walking closer to home eyes on the purple large envelope in his hands.“I don’t know but it came along with this and just made me a little paranoid.” I take the envelope, wondering who would have something delivered to me especially since it isn’t my home.“Who would have something delivered to me when this isn’t my house?.” I ask and he shrugs, passing the bag and envelope to me, he walks to the table behind me, probably about to rummage through the bag I bought.I took out the card inside the envelope, furrowing my eyebrows as I look at it. Nothing was written in it. Just a wh

Aaron~"What do you think?” Kai asks, I drop the block of butter into the pan, humming without listening to what he’s saying.“Aaron, are you even listening?“ he whisper yells. I look up at him “what?” “Her, what do you think?” He asks, gesturing at Sasha who is busy talking to Asher and Rue. Oh, I see.“What about her?” I ask, quirking my eyebrow up as I look at him. Kai grumbled, almost whining.“You know what I’m talking about, don’t act coy.” He rolls his eyes.“Yeah, that attitude will get you nothing but more pinning.” I shrug, getting the a can of tiger pepper."You’re annoying.”“Just as you are.” I refuted, choosing to ignore him now. Of course I know what exactly he wants and means but it doesn’t mean it would happen miraculously for him especially after he teased me for days with Lana.Talking about Lana. I turn to look at her side of the kitchen, seeing everyone help her as she cooks. Yeah, even Sasha and Ellie choose her, leaving Kai with me.“How is it going?” I ask her

Lana~Aaron sat in his office, a mountain of files waiting for him. He runs his hand through his hair, a frustrated sigh escaping his lips as he glanced at the files again. The entire table filled with pending work."Maybe I should just take a break, I mean, I can still do all of this next week when we come back.” He says and I chuckled, placing the cup of coffee on the table.“No can’t do. We have three days holiday. I want to rest and not work. It’s better we finish up this and focus on a new week.” I say, taking a sip of my coffee. Aaron groans beside me."This is tiring but fine! You’re staying here with me, no matter how late it’s gets.” He warns.“Yeah yeah, wasn’t planning on leaving you.” I reply, walking over to the table, picked out four of the pending files. “I’ll get to work on these while you do those. Let me know if you need me and I’ll be here in a jiffy.” I tell him. Aaron nods, leaning back on his chair. I smile, dropping the files on his table and leaned close to hi

Lana~I sat down, replaying what Ellie had told me earlier. I can just imagine the hurt she would be going through after finding out about her mothers death.I sigh, leaning back against the chair to continue the work for today. I’m glad she has Sasha with her, at least it would make things better.I settle on work, sending and clearing the mails and pending work I had too. Hours later Aaron barged into my office, a tired smile on his lips. He walks into my office with a mug, dropping the mug on my table."Got you hot chocolate, thought you might want it.” He says and i smile, leaning back against the couch as i stretch my hands, feeling cramped up from typing."It’s already past seven?” I ask, he Huns in reply, walking towards the window. "It’s always so crowded.” He comments, viewing the city from the window.“Yeah, it’s NewYork after all.” I reply, taking a sip of the hot chocolate.“Are you almost done?” I ask, knowing I’d have to leave soon seeing as I’m almost done with work and

EpilogueAaron~I had less than ten minutes to get to her house, ten minutes to catch her before she leaves me for ever. Am I being dramatic? Maybe but it’s been too long and I can’t let it go on even more. My phone began to ring again, I glanced at the caller I’d to see Kai’s name displayed on the front screen. I put my AirPods into my ear and swiped right.“Where are you? Are you almost there?” Kia rushes out. I roll my eyes just as I take a turn. Why in God’s name does the police station have to be so far from her house. I let out a frustrated growl when I approach the traffic light, stopping the car.I have less than five minutes to go. “I’m almost at hers. I really hope she’s still there. God, I can’t take it if she’s not there.” My heart beat was going a hundred mile per second on the thought of not meeting her there. I would simply not be able to stand it.“Good luck!” Kai cuts the call. I gnawed know my lower lip as I look out the windshield, the numbed still going slowly. I

Aaron~The next day I woke up to a my phone incessant ringing. A grunt escapes my lips as I open my eyes, struggling to sit up and then reach for my phone. An unknown number was displayed on the screen.I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering who it could be. I swiped right, placing the phone against my ear.“Is this Mr Aaron Carlsen? We are calling from Area one police station regarding your complaint. We have arrested one miss Andrea Dawson for drugging against consent. Your presence is required." The person tells me. I felt my heart beat hike up to a thirty just on hearing Andrea has now been arrested. I remember spending the night speaking to Kai and telling him what had happened. I didn’t think she would be arrested so fast too. Oh well."Thank you, I’ll come soon.” I cut the call and got up from the bed, walked to the bathroom and had my bath. I stepped out a few minutes later, changed into something more comfortable for today and walked out of the room when I was done. I put my car ke

Aaron~“Where are you going to?” Father holds my arm, eyes boring into mine.“Where am I going to?“ I scoffed, jerking his hand away from me “I’m going to lay a complaint about your wife and Andrea drugging me, your son. Not like you care.” I rolled my eyes.“We’re coming with you, Aaron.” Asher piped up from he says with Rue.Father sighs, running his hand through his hair. “But, how and why would Melanie want to drug you?” He asks again“I don’t know, why not ask her since she’s standing over there.” I point at Melanie who had her arm wrapped over her chest, definitely not going to back down easily.“Fine! Call the police but I’ll tell them the same thing I told you, I had nothing to do with whatever is going on with you.” She counters and I chuckle“Really? That’s what you’re still going by? You did nothing but you met up with Levi and asked that he keeps what he saw that night a secret. You met him at the coffee shop and yet you’re lying through your rotten teeth. You do know that

Aaron~“What the actual fuck!” Kai exclaims, I couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. “Yeah, she turned my life into some sick ass soap opera. Andrea managed to drug me and Melanie paid the one person who knew it about off. I mean, I knew she was vile and all of that but never did it cross my mind that she’s actually this crazy.” I shudder internally on remembering just how surprised she was when she found out Lana broke up with me. Such a silly fake person.“So what are you going to do? Talk to Melanie? Andrea or Lana?” He asks and I sighed over the phone, I look up at the house I was currently facing.“Looks like it’s Melanie. I’m tired of her bullshit and it’s time she knows that."“I wish I was there for emotionally support and also see the tea. I wish you the best.” I chuckled over the phone, pushing the car doors open and stepped out, placing the phone properly against my ear.“Yeah, yeah, do you.” I cut the call, placing it into my pocket and walked towards the door. I had texted

Aaron~“So what you’re saying is, you think your stepmother might have something to do with this?” Ellie deadpans. “Well, she’s always wanted Andrea for me and it just seemed weird that Andrea was at the same place as I was and I’m sure you know it’s very weird that Melanie was with Levi, like what could be the relationship between them?” I ask, watching every of their faces.“Man.,this is more complicated than I thought. I’m sorry but your stepmother is a fucking wimp. If this is true and she’s toying with your life then it’s better you call her out on it. This is fucking ridiculous.” Sasha exclaims.“And what if it isn’t? What if you did cheat on Lana and all of these are just some fucked up reasoning you came up with? What if you did cheat on her, then what?” Ellie asks instead. I felt my resolve crumble as I look at her.She’s right. What if I did cheat on Lana. What if I’m not innocent and Melanie actually knows Levi from somewhere, then what? “I doubt that he did. Even before t

Oh sweetie" Sasha blurts out as soon as she sees me, immediately rushing to my side. She holds my arm, Pulling me closer to her."Hey." I whisper, voice hprase from all the crying ive been doing all day."I heard what happened and just so you know, he will get what's coming to him for even daring to look at another when you were in a relationship with him. I really can't believe the nerve of men."I couldn't help but chuckle on seeing seeing her talk so fiercly about it. "I'm sorry this is happening to you because you on't deserve any of this."I glance at Ellie who was staring at Sasha and I, her arms wrapped agaisnt her chest, she had the softest yet saddest smile on her face."Will you eat something?" Ellie voices out and just at that moment did i realise just how late it ws already, my eyes straying to the wall clock hanging on the wall."I- It's so late." I state but it coes out as a question instead. I sihed, shaking my head "Im not hungry,." I reply, manuvering my way to the co

Aaron~The next day, I wake up very much out of it. A grunt escapes my lips as I sit up, supporting myself with my hands. My head feels like it’s been pounded on severally. I squinted my eyes, rubbing my hand through my face. I went to the club with Kai and… I struggled to remember what happened and once again, found myself cursing at my memory. Why the fuck won’t I remember anything. This is very much embarrassing and tiring. Just how much did I..I didn’t get to finish that train of thought as the images of yesterday night came flashing through my head. Kai forcing me to stop drinking. Kai bringing me back home. Kai helping me to the bed. I tempered everything but it cost me another rush of headache.I sighed, getting up from the bed only to see that I am still in last night clothe. Kai could’ve at least helped me to change. I walk to the bathroom, stripping off my clothes and stepped into the shower to take a cold bath. My head still banging so hard.I finished bathing and stepped

Aaron ~“Hey! Watch it. You’re drinking way too much than you should.” Kai says, taking the bottle of alcohol away.“Just leave me. I’m so fucked, Kai. I’m so fucking fucked. I have no idea what to do so please, leave me to do what I want.” I snapped, grabbing the bottle back from him.We are in our favorite spot, we’d usually come here whenever we need a break from things. Whenever we feel tired and just need a moment to ourselves, you’d usually find us here.“Drinking isn’t going to solve half of what is happening to you now. Get your ass up and stop drinking so much.” He grabs the bottle back, his tone made it clear that he wouldn’t be giving me back,“Kai, things are so bad right now.” I tell him and he hums.“I feel so choked up. I spend nights trying to think and remember what happened that night. There is this huge burden on my shoulders. Lana refuses to speak to me. There is father, Melanie , the company’s new Mr Chen of Thai. I feel so bad, I’ve been working so hard on that c

Lana~“Do you have the silver hoops? I need it for my dress, it would look magnificent.” Sasha bursts into my room, already dressed and and missing a earring. My eyes sweeped over her Look, a smile making it was to my lips."Whoo.” I whistled, watching Sasha’s face burn bright pink. She had a short blue dress that settled just below her ass, showing a lot more cleavage. Her hair was rolled and brushed down, lips coated in red."If you weren’t in a situationship with Kai then be sure that I would date the duck out of you right now. How can you look so hot?” “There is no situationship with Kai. I thought I liked him and that’s all there is to it. I don’t like him anymore though so it’s fine.” She says and I pause for a second, the silver hoop she was asking for was in my hands.“Sasha..” I trail off, removing our conversation in Grenada. I don’t know what’s happening with her especially with Kai and her. what I do know is that Sasha is very scared and with good reasons too.“Let’s not
