As I returned to my office, I started sketching again to keep myself from getting bored. Later on, my face twisted upon seeing Olivia enter my office.

"Did you see your ex, Ameyst? He looks so yummy, right?" She teased, so I raised my middle finger in front of her.

"Oh, you saw your ex too? He looks yummy, huh?" I mimicked her, and she gave me an irritated look, which made me laugh out loud.

"Seems like I used the wrong word, hmm," I pretended to ponder. "Is he really your ex?" I laughed when she rolled her eyes. "See, you're sensitive."

"You idiot," she retorted, making me laugh. Eventually, I was interrupted when Kevin texted me.

Attorney Kevin:

Let's meet up at Café Star. I have something important to discuss with you.

Although puzzled, I replied to his text.

'Maybe it's important,' I thought to myself and continued talking to Olivia.

"Let's eat now. Phoebe texted me that we should all eat together," she said with a laugh. "Damn, maybe our CEO and the others put a spell on us."

    "I'm home," I said as I entered our house, but I was still thinking about what Kevin said to me earlier."Oh, dear, you're here," I heard Mama say as she came out of the kitchen. Saito was seated peacefully on the couch while talking to my father.A few years ago, when Dad and Mom got married, Dad had been searching for Mom ever since. He loves Mom, and Mom loves him.So, they got back together, huh?I hate love. I don't want to experience that again. The feeling of my heart shrinking, and not being able to breathe properly."Good evening, Dad, Saito," I said as I sat on the sofa. Mama brought me coffee, so I happily drank it."How was your day, sis?" Saito asked."You must be tired today," Dad said, but I just nodded."Your graduation is coming up soon, Saito. You'll be working soon! You're getting old!" I teased him."I'm really telling him now about you and him as the successor of my company," my dad said."Just give me money. I don't need your company. I'm working at the Foreister

    "What are you trying to do now?" he asked seriously. My mouth closed as I saw his serious expression."N-nothing.""Then why are you here, huh?" His eyes sharpened as he said that, making me gulp."Visiting someone.""Or visiting my real father?" He said, causing me to stop."No. You can ask the police there if I really visit your real father," I replied, bumping into him before leaving. I held my chest as I got into my car."He's damn scary," I whispered while holding my chest. When I calmed down, I started the car to go back to the company.When I arrived, I contacted Kevin to tell him I had done it and he should take care of the rest.But I didn't expect a Woman to answer! And she suddenly hung up, so I just sent her a message.When I sat down in the office, I held my temples because of what I saw earlier! Kyle with a serious face! What the fuck!'He's handsome right?' I thought to myself as I scratched my head.Because I had no customers, I was bored just watching. Meggay always h

    "I waited for you for so long, Savannah," he said while looking directly at me. "So give me another chance.""I guess it wouldn't be bad if you give him another chance to prove that he won't do it again."I remembered what Meggay said to me earlier. That didn't leave my mind because I knew she was right, and I was just turning a blind eye. I glanced at him again and saw him bowing his head."Hey," I smiled. He looked at me."You must go through the real process of courting. This would be your last chance with me, Kyle," I told him. I have to, I have to do this to forgive everything, to make my heart okay again. I saw his face light up and his smile suppressed. He looks so happy right now."Someone just clicked in my mind, that's why," I said and turned away from him."Thank you," I heard him say as I walked away.I left the building to go to the coffee shop. Once there, I immediately ordered an iced americano and looked for a seat.My face twisted in disgust when I saw Angelo with tha

    "Dad agreed to help me," I said as I sat down. We were all here to make a plan for me."Manipulating, huh?" Calvin said while looking at the laptop."The Pink Organization is moving again, but I think the former boss isn't with them," Meggay said, looking directly at me."So someone else is running the Pink Organization?" Phoebe smirked as she asked. Pink organization name is really is"Basically, yes. But for now, we should make a plan for Savannah," Meggay said seriously."So you want him to crawl?" Olivia smirked."Then make him like a dog.""Shut up, Olivia," I snapped at her."Since your Dad is going to take Angelo's major stockholders, do you think that's enough to bring Angelo down?" Meggay asked, making me laugh before putting down the chess piece I was holding."That's where Saito comes in," I said, playing with the chess piece. "He will take down what his Father offers him." I smirked."It's still not enough, Savannah," Meggay said flatly, making me pout."Why?" I asked."Sa

    I smirked when I saw the articles about Angelo's Woman. It looked like it had spread all over the internet. I love this drama, I should have spread this before, so that everyone will know how trash this woman are. And how trashy Angelo is. They deserve the hell and I'm giving the hell now. I'll make sure to make them crawl to me, that's what I promise to them. To make them crawl over me."Victoria is a husband-stealer.""Can you believe it? She's actually poor? Disgusting, my God.""That girl clings to anything, leaving her husbands for money.""I like these things on the internet," I smirked and stood up, still holding my phone. I love reading all the drama on the internet.I left the office to tell Calvin to post the video from seven years ago on the internet. I looked at my phone when it beeped, seeing a message.Dad Thomas: I got all the major stockholders.

    "But you weren't there. You were kissing with the woman I was jealous of," I said and laughed bitterly. I can feel the pain bloom inside of me when I said that. I remember once again."Savannah...""Let go. Leave," I said, recalling everything he had done to me. I just can't talk to them right now."Savannah, let me explain.""Just leave! I'm not ready to hear your explanation. I'm begging you, Kyle," I said, bowing my head as tears began to well up again. "I am still not ready for it...""I-I'm... I'm really sorry," he whispered and left my office.I felt a pang in my chest and struggled to breathe because of the pain I remembered. When I calmed down, I opened my cell phone again to check the latest issue.It was the video from seven years ago, the one where we were humiliated in front of many people... All the issues regarding that had been erased; all the media was silent despite witnessing the event. They were just paid off, that's why.I laughed loudly when I saw people bashing A

    "You! They lied to you, Savannah! Your Dad knew you existed, but he still left your Mom while she was carrying you." I stopped walking, feeling like I had been doused with cold water. I forced myself to face him. What is he saying?"Don't listen to him, Savannah," my Mom ordered. Why? Why shouldn't I listen to what he is saying?"Why? It's true, isn't it? Why won't you let her listen to me?!" he shouted, laughing."What did you just say?" I asked coldly, stopping everyone in their tracks. Mom looks like she froze."He abandoned you because he loved someone else when your Mom was pregnant with you!" he shouted. I feel like it slap me. My eyes widened with what he says to me. My ears are ringing so much."He even told your Mom to abort you because what happened between them was a mistake!"I felt my world crumble again to my core. My chest tightened as he said those things to me. Mistake? I am a mistake? I am a mistake...? No... My eyes were so shocked while looking at him."Stop it!" D

    "I was drugged by Jannah," I heard the fear in his voice. I froze with what he said. I couldn’t breathe and looked at him. What? What does he just say?"W-what?" I uttered, trying to calm down. My heart starts to beat so fast as I heard it from him."She put a drug in my drink," he said, starting to puff out air. He looked at me in the eyes. I could see him shaking, struggling to speak again.I didn’t know what to do as I looked at him. I was frozen in place."You should be careful with Jannah."I stopped when I remembered what Kyle'sMom had told me. He looked away, and I saw tears forming at the corners of his eyes. He's hurt right now, he for sure remembered everything."Kyle, what did she do to you?!" I asked."That night, I went to the bar like I always do. The waiter asked me to go to one of the VIP rooms because I'm a regular. He brought the usual drinks I order, so I drank them. At first, I thought it was nothing, but then I started feeling dizzy. Jannah showed up, smirking."

    His eyes were now dry, and he was looking at me with those sincere eyes that made me fall in love with him before.The rain stopped pouring as if it was done screaming. I wiped the tears from my eyes."What happened back then, Caelum?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes."My Mom had an accident that day, so I hurried there, but I didn't mean to leave you clueless. When I saw the missed calls I had, I called you at that time, but there was no response. I was so scared because you weren't answering any calls," he said, giving me a lopsided smile as he ruffled my hair."What about the penthouse?""Ah, that time. I was looking for a new condo to move into, so I brought all my belongings there, and only the one I was selling was left. It was supposed to be a surprise for you because I wanted to live with you," he said sweetly, taking off his coat to put it on my shoulder."What about the marriage?" I asked again, rubbing the back of my head."Ah, it was planned, but I canceled it and told them th

    "Soon, my ass!" I snapped at him and rolled my eyes.He chuckled and smirked afterward, making me want to punch him in the face."I don't want it," I whispered to him, making him stop.I looked outside at the glass wall, seeing the darkness swallowing the light. Outside seemed so peaceful with the small number of people out there.I wanted to inhale the wind again to find peace once more. I looked at him and called the waiter to get the bill, and I paid for it."I hope you enjoyed our dinner," I said as I grabbed my bag to leave the restaurant."Phoebe, wait!" he said, so I looked at him.Luckily, there were few people on the street. He looked at me with a lost face, inhaling a large amount of oxygen as he looked at me.The rain suddenly poured down, making me look at him with a serious face and a small smile."Why are you pretending to be happy? Why are you treating me nicely?" he snapped as he grabbed my arms.I sighed and tried to let go of my hand, but he insisted and held on so t

    "She's my sister, Phoebe, not my lover," Caelum said with a pleading tone. But I didn't bother to look at him again, just leaving him there dumbfounded.I went back to the office once more, trying to shake off everything he said to me. Why was he explaining this to me? I don't even care.I bit my lower lip as I thought, "Is he playing with me again?"I rolled my eyes and submitted the rest of the reports to Meggay. Opening my phone with too many thoughts, I saw a new piece of news. I clicked the link, and the video started playing."We're back with another update on this case. We suspect the family may have had another Daughter, as evidenced by clothes and a picture frame with another child. They are four in total, indicating another child or perhaps one who is old enough to work. We found no fingerprints of other people, and the picture frame with the other child's face is damaged. We suspect this person may be responsible for the entire family's deaths—"My jaw dropped at the news.

    I woke up in the familiar room; I suppose I am in my condo right now. But why am I here? I raised my eyebrows when I saw the sun rising once again.I looked around and saw my friends scattered in my condo. Olivia was sleeping on the couch, Savannah was sleeping on the floor with just one pillow, and Meggay was beside me.They were sleeping peacefully, as if they were just sleeping now. Why are they sleeping here?I rubbed my eyes and looked around. My head was full of questions regarding what happened tonight. I went to the kitchen to drink some milk and started making breakfast for them.I cooked bacon because Savannah loves it, fried rice with egg because Olivia loves it, and I also made tuna mayonnaise with egg and put it in a sandwich because Meggay loves it.I made coffee too because they love it."Oh, you're already awake," I heard Meggay's voice as I heard the sound of a chair at the counter. I smiled at her and placed the sandwich in front of her."Good morning, Meggay," I gre

    Trigger warning. (This chapter might trigger you, so stop if you need to.)I covered my mouth as panic took over my whole body. Meggay stopped me from killing that woman, waking me up from the darkness she had shown me.I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them again. I breathed deeply to calm myself."Meggay, I already took care of the DNA that led to her bones," TJ said, showing her a plastic container."How long until you find out who the person is?" Meggay asked coldly. TJ paused, thinking about how long it would take."Maybe tonight I can do it. I'm sure you'll still be at headquarters later," TJ said, and Meggay nodded in response.Meggay leaned closer to me and held my hand, smiling."You did your best out there," she said, giving me a soft smile. I kept looking at her."Your foster Mother is in the interrogation room. I asked Savannah and Olivia to bring Diana and your father along with her," Meggay said, but I couldn’t even respond.
