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

Lana~I woke up, feeling hot and sticky. My eyes flew open, now staring at the ceiling fan. I grunted, trying to remember the things that happened the night before except nothing came to my brain. A hand was suddenly thrown over my waist. My eyes widen dramatically on seeing a living being hand on my body. I live alone! What the hell is- I turn to my side only to see a snoring Sasha beside me, mouth agape as she snores away. I throw her hand off my body, memories of the night came rushing back to me.I came to Ellie’s place and slept over. Ellie lives in a one bedroom apartment which means we all had to squeeze ourselves into her bed. That’s why I woke up sticky with sweat and feeling hot. Anyone that knows Sasha would know how clingy she is when sleeping.I got up from the bed, only then did I notice the other person who was supposed to be sleeping in bed, only that her place was empty. I furrowed my eyebrows, eyes still a little dazed with sleep, rubbing my eye a little, I walk to

Lana~A sigh escaped my lips, I dip my hands into the pockets of the jacket I had on, a shiver running down my spine. My phone begins to ring, almost making me stomp my feet in frustration.I pause in my steps, taking the phone out of the bag only to see Aaron calling me.“Hey baby.” His voice deep and rich, I smiled instinctively upon hearing his voice.“Hey hey.” I reply, continuing in my steps to the main road. “Are you out? Seems like where you are is busy. I can call-""I went to see my mom, she wanted this speak to me.” I cut him off and he hums over the phone."Are you home? I’m coming to yours.” I tell him of whichever he had no issue with. I cut the call, immediately dialing Sasha’s number. She picks at the third ring.“You done? Is everything okay? Do I have to come with a racket?” Sasha rushes out. I roll my eyes as I stand at the bus-stop, waiting for a taxi to pass by. “I’m fine and you don’t need to bring a tennis racket. I’m heading to Aaron’s place and would book our

Lana~“So that’s it?” Sasha asks and i nod, removing the keys from the door, turning to see Sasha behind me and Ellie putting the bags into the car. “Come on, we better not safe anymore time of not we would miss our flight.” I say, walking towards the car. Ellie had hopped in and Sasha sat beside her while I got into the seat next to the driver.Ellie has been busy exceptionally quiet for a while now. I know her mother’s death is something she’s struggling to come to terms with but I also know she’s thinking and thanking hard. It’s been years since she left the house and now she suddenly has to go back.I know how it feels to the frightened and nostalgic."Did you tell Aaron you’d be Traveling? I mean it’s quite impromptu.” Sasha asks behind. I hummed in response, remembering how clingy Aaron had got when I told him I would be Traveling with Ellie for her mother’s burial. While he is empathetic towards the whole situation with her, he also didn’t stop talking about how much he’d miss

Lana~We arrive in Grenada after five hours of flying. My back felt cramped and ass sore but the most important thing is finally being here. “Ah this was something.” Sasha groaned beside me, placing her bag on the floor and stretched. I turn to my right to see Ellie standing by the pole, eyes shut close, inhaling the air of Grenada.Grenada is a small town located in the northern part of America. "Welcome to Grenada, Ellie.” I whisper, glancing at her. She opens her eyes, a smile making its way to her lips.I haven’t seen her smile i days so it’s something.“Come on, it’s quite late and if we want to get there early tomorrow then we should sleep early too.” I tell them just as I flag down a cab.The middle aged driver gets out of the car, a bubbly smile on his lips even with how late it was. "Where are you headed?” He asks, eyeing our luggage.Ellie and myself turn to glance at Sasha who was lost in thoughts. "Sasha! The address.” I snap, watching her flinch slinky, a sage of red sl

Lana~“What do you think? Would everything be alright?” Sasha whispers beside me. I glance at her to see her staring at Ellie who stood a few feet a away from us, looking at the black painted gate.A sigh escaped my lips and I shrug, l genuinely hope things goes well but right now? We can only hope. We all woke up so early this morning and got dressed in our black outfit, not wanting to waste anymore time.Ellie was already out and waiting for Sasha and i when we got outside. We took a taxi to her house but unfortunately no one was there, which meant they were at the cemetery. Luckily there are only two cemeteries in Grenada. We saw someone who directed us to this cemetery, saying the family had to use this one.I shake my head, walking to Ellie who stood still outside the cemetery gate, not wanting face her fears just yet.I place my hand on her shoulders, feeling her flinch in my hold. She looks at me, eyes swollen from crying so much, face pale and thin."Come on, it’s time we go i

Lana~"It’s been years I last spoke to her. Did she tell you that?" Enrique asks, turning to look at Ellie and her brother. I share a glance with Sasha whose lips was puckered."Why don’t you go speak to her? Seems like you really want to talk to her. You miss her.” Sasha replied.Enrique looks at us, a sad smile displayed on his lips. "I- I don’t know how she would take it.” He whispers after a beat. I open my mouth to reply but got cut off by one of the attendees who wanted to greet the old man."Excuse me.” He says, stepping away from us. I sighed, turning to look at Sasha."This whole thing doesn’t sound well, it’s obvious he misses her terribly but he’s afraid she would shun him out.” Sasha tells me. I hum in agreement, wrapping my arm around my chest."I do hope they sort this issue out because they’re all suffering. I think it’s enough and time they stop.” I reply.Sasha reaches out to touch my arm, a comforting smile on her lips. "I want to“ she doesn’t get to complete her wor

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
