Lana~“What?” Sasha bellows, eyes widening, lips parted in shock."Accident? When? What happened? Is she okay? How is-“ She rambles on.“Father told me she’s okay and I believe but I should leave no. I’m taking the flight to New York so I can see her since she’s asking of me. I won’t be able to go back and check on Ellie. Please tell her why happened. I’ll call immediately after I land.” I tell Sasha. I already had my bags with me, dressed in a sweatshirt and pants when I knocked on Sasha’s bed early this morning. "Of course, I’ll check on Ellie and be right on my way too.” She tells me.“Alright, I should get going now after all I don’t want to miss my flight. See you.” I leaned closer to her and kiss her on the cheeks.~~~Minutes later I found myself inside a cab, driving towards the airport. I felt nervous and scared. What if my father was just downplaying my mother’s accident to me? What if it’s more serious than he let on? What if- I had so many 'what ifs' parading my thoughts.

Lana~I step into the house, a such escaping my lips as I turn on the light. Finally, I’m in my home. My body feels like it’s been run over severally but at least I’ll finally be able to cuddle in my bed and just rest.I kick my slippers off, drop my bags on the couch, and walk towards the kitchen, turning on the light and pulling the refrigerator door open. I took out a bottle of cold water, poured it into a glass cup, and gulp it in a go.Father’s words from earlier came rushing into my head. He wants to see me and he wants us to talk. Really, I don’t even understand what’s going on anymore. Father says mother would be coming back to his house to rest for her recovery. I still don’t understand how she got injured if she’s supposed to be Traveling according to what she told me but then again, seeing the forlorn gazes they shared, I didn’t want to ask.My phone began to ring loudly, jolting me out of my reverie. I walk out of the kitchen, going straight to the couch where my bag sat.

Lana~I walk into my office, leaving Aaron to have the meeting slated for ten am. I still could t stop wondering what it is that he wants to tell me. My brain running a hundred miles per second on thinking about it.Does he want to break up with me? Did I do something wrong?Does he have second thoughts about our relationship? These questions plagued my mind with no answer for it. Before leaving Aaron’s office, i couldn’t help but notice the tightness in his jaw, how he avoided my eyes, flinching slightly when I touch him. All these are things that happen when one is about to break up and looks like it’s my turn.Oh shit. He is really going to break up with me.This revelation had me pausing what I was doing, mouth parted slightly, heart beat going up to a hundred just thinking of it.Is this really it? Breaking up few months after we got together? I tried racking my brain, thinking of what exactly I did to make him want to break up with me. Was it the trip? Or maybe the cooking han

Lana~Unfortunately, i found t hold back, right there and then in the taxi taking me back home, my resolve crumbled.“Miss, are you okay?” The driver asks, our eyes meeting through the rear view mirror.“Huh? Yes, I’m fine.” I reply but he didn’t look convinced. I couldn’t help but wonder how crushed my face must look if he looks this worried and just at that moment, did I feel the dampness on my cheeks. Slowly raising my hand to feel the tear that trickled down my chin.Oh, I’ve been crying and I didn’t even realize it.I hurriedly wipe the tears tricking down my chin now looking out the windshield. ‘I’ll be okay, I’ll be okay.' I mutter like a chant inside my head."We’ve arrived ma’am.” The drivers voice broke me out of my reverie. I blink twice, looking up to see that we’ve truly arrived at my house. I paid the driver and got out of the car, attempting to walk into the gates when the driver calls me back.“Miss.” He says, smiling rather softly at me. "Everything goes.” He tells m

Aaron~Fuck fuck fuck…Fucking Andrea.How could I have let this happen? Oh for fucks sake. Nothing can ever beat the fear that coursed through my veins when Lana heard what Andrea said. Nothing would ever beat the betrayal in her eyes, the contempt, the disdain and disgust. The worst thing is I deserve every bit of it.How could I have allowed this happen? I should t have gotten so drunk that night. I shouldn’t have gone to the club nor should I have even entertained Andrea when she came up to me. I grabbed my phone from the table, placing a call through to Kai, knowing he would be the only one to help me. What am I supposed to do? I cheated on Lana! Me of all people. Oh goodness.“Hey man, what’s up? I’m just heading to the-""I cheated on Lana-“ I blurt out, cutting him off. Kai inhaled sharply.“What the fuck Aaron?” He snaps. I grabbed my hair, wanting to pull it out from the root.“I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t fucking know. I- she broke up and she- fuck!” I slam my hand

Lana~ "Lana, What's wrong?" Ellie rushes to my side, face pulled into a frown as she shuts the door close with her feet, she drops her bag on the couch. I agressively wipe the tears on my face, taking a seat on the couch opposite her. . "I-" A pause. I sniffled, swallowing the lump in my throat. A shuddering exhale escape my lips. "Lana...What's wrong?" She asks, kneeling and places her hand on my knees, her eyes filed with worry and care. "You aren't supposed to be here, not right now." I say and she nods, biting her bottom lip, eyes loosing focus just for a second and she's back. She blinks twice and sighs."Aaron asked me to check up on you. I don't know what's going on but he seemed pretty agitated. she pauses for a second, looking at me again with very keen eyes. "Tell me what's going on?" "Aaron cheated. He cheated on me and that too with his ex-girlfriend." I blurt out, saying it out loud it made me realize just how true this is, not in a million years did i see this comin

"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 hoarse from all the crying i've 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 don't deserve any of this."I glance at Ellie who was staring at Sasha and I, her arms wrapped against 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 was already, my eyes straying to the wall clock hanging on the wall."I- It's so late." I state but it comes out as a question instead. I sighed, shaking my head "I'm not hungry,." I reply, manuvering my way

Lana~“What are you doing here?” Aaron gasps like he wasn’t expecting me to open the door. He stood in front of me, eyes red and swollen like he had been crying, hair tousled and sticking up in different directions. That’s good, at least I’m not the only one looking horrible right now."Lana, Lana I have to ““What do you even think you’re doing? You’ve got a lot of guts coming into my home and speaking.” I snap, wrapping my arms around my chest as I lean against the door, watching the man’s shoulders sag.“Please, I know I fucked up so bad but you have to let me explain. I- I can’t lose you, please.” He pleads, looking at me with those eyes, the same ones I had cherished.I scoffed, looking away for a second, the image of Andrea spread out beneath him came to my head and I shut my eyes closed wishing these images would stop wishing I wouldn’t have to keep thinking about this."What do you want, Aaron? To tell me how you couldn’t help but fall in love with your ex? How I was as only

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

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
