-Eri Jones-

Suzy and Rose had been good company for the whole day. It took a lot of convincing before they finally left the house in the night.

I wasn't sure how right they were about what Don had done, but one thing was for sure, if he'd allowed Leila to offer mom that money, things wouldn't have taken this turn.

I was obviously going to forgive him, but I just couldn't swallow the fact he knew he was the one who caused my mom's death and he still married me.

I sighed laying on the bed with Hane sleeping beside me.

"You alright?" Well, I guess she wasn't asleep.

"Yeah, I guess."

There was silence for a while. "Are you going back?" It came out just above a whisper.

I pondered on that. There was no way I could live the rest of my life without Don, neither was I sure I could spend it with him, knowing that he was part of the reason mom isn't with me.

"What do you think I should so?"

Silence. We both just stared in the darkness.

After a moment of silence, I assumed she was asleep which

    "Would he be okay doctor?" I asked the man I assumed to be in his early fifties.He stared at me through those obviously thick glasses. "Well, he was hyperventilated due to anxiety or stress which led to carbondioxide deficiency and led to his dizziness and fainting.""And the fact he obviously isn't eating didn't help his situation."Worry passed me by, planting a part of itself on me. "So what do I do?""Just let him rest and ensure he doesn't stress himself." He looked like he was done, but continued. "Also, make sure he eats well and is hydrated, okay?""Yes doctor. When will he be conscious?"The look on his face didn't speak any positivity. "I'm not sure, but I can assure you he'd wake up."I sighed. "Okay, thank you."After a small smile, the man left with the company of one of our bodyguards.I went into the room. It was Don's room. Staring at his weak soul laying on the bed, I realized how much of this was my fault.I was back in the house and I'd never missed it any more. I

    -Rose Dern-Straightening my hair and skirt like I always did when I was in front of this door, I placed my card into the hole causing the door to unlock.I opened it slowly, my heart doing the beating it always did in his presence.I ambled in, closing the door behind me.When I turned to Darien who rose his head from the laptop, a smile playing on his lips which only caused a fluttering in my heart."Good morning Darien." I bowed a little, heading to my office."Good morning." His voice always sent shivers down my spine.I held the door to my office, opening it when he said; "you look beautiful."I turned to him, the color rising to my cheeks, which I hoped was covered by my hair."Thank you." I hoped my smile wasn't ugly because that was how I felt.I entered the office, closing the door behind me. I went to my seat, placing my head on the desk.Gosh Rose, why on earth can't you control your self in the presence of this handsome guy? You've dated different men so why is this one so

    -Eri Jones-"Thanks so much for getting the stuff for my sister's wedding, she'd be so pleased." The joy depicted from her expression as she stared at the obviously expensive clothes, make-up kit and jewelries."It was nothing." I assured her. "You know, I'd love to see this sister of yours before the wedding. What was her name again." Hane seemed lost in the expensive stuffs in front of her. "Huh?" That was when she stared at me."Her name? Your sister?""Oh you mean Kate.""Yeah, Kate. So when can I meet her?" I smiled at her.She shrugged. "Whenever you want. She's not the type to like publicity, she wants her wedding to be just family and friend, no drama or anything.""So does that mean I won't be able to see her?"She shrugged again, staring at a beautiful diamond necklace I'd gotten for Kate."You can see her on the wedding day, but if you're insistent on seeing her before that, I'm sure she'd be able to squeeze you into her busy schedule."She tugged her hair behind her. "I m

    I pulled my brows together, squeezing my eyes shut, pulling my chest forward while Hane tried to put the zip of the extremely tight purple knee length gown up."Almost done." She said reassuringly, although I was certain the zip wasn't going up any further.I held my breath, hopefully it'd help make the zip come up.Finally it did and I was able to breathe again, although the tightness of the dress limited my breathing.I turned to Hane who seemed proud of herself for pulling the zip up completely."Thanks.""You're welcome, but I just don't understand why you want to dress so fancy." She sat on her bed.Her hair was packed roughly to the back, making it obvious she'd just woken up."Well, I want to head to one of the biggest mall in New York with Suzy and maybe some people in the media might notice me, so I've got to look fancy enough."I walked to the huge mirror in her room, turning to see how the cloth popped out my curves."And, I also want June to know I'm equally as rich as she

    The sound of mumbled words filled my hearing. I could feel my neck hurting. I felt a cough stuck somewhere in my throat, desperately pleading for me to rescue it, but I had a feeling if I did, it'd come with much pain."She'd be fine." A voice I knew I'd heard before but couldn't quite recognize."Okay, thanks a lot." That was Don's voice.What were they talking about and why were they talking about it while I was asleep?Couldn't they be anywhere but here?My head suddenly began hurting, giving me a feeling I wasn't asleep.I gently pushed my eyes open. At first I was greeted by the white ceiling, then turning my head, I sighted a crying Hane.To my other side was a worried Don. And at the door was a man leaving with someone else I assumed to be a bodyguard.What was going on? Well, only one way to find out. "What's wrong with you two?"They both turned to me in shock. "You're awake." Hane let out a breath of relief. "Thank goodness you're safe."I sat up on the bed. "Of course I'm s

    -Eri Jones-I still needed to recover from the traumatizing experience from June.I hadn't gone to work since then and I wasn't doing that till any news was bought to us by the police on June's whereabout.The door opened with Don ambling in. A small smile on his face.He hadn't gone to work today because I'd insisted I didn't want to be alone, though Hane was with me."What's up?" I asked, scrolling through my Instagram page, seeing different comments from people.Apparently, the news about June hadn't escalated yet. Don had told the police to do their search in secret so as not to tarnish the Silvers image and affect their stocks.He walked towards me, sitting on the bed beside me. "I just got a call from the police."With that, I jerked my head to his direction, eyes wide in interest. "And?"He sighed, pursing his lips. "Apparently, they haven't found her."My heart dropped. "But...""There's a high possibility she's ran back to Dubai."That made me breath a sigh of relief. "She's

    -Eri Jones-Since June had been in Dubai, life had been so peaceful.No fear as to where she might be or her stalking me or sending threatening texts. I'd been happy and so was Don.Today, as a way to celebrate our happiness, we'd organized a family dinner. Everyone was invited."How do I look?" I twirled around in the gray flare knee length gown I had on."Beautiful as always." Don's admiring look made me blush."Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself." Hot was the definition of how he looked.He hadn't overdressed unlike I had, still he looked so handsome. Especially since the shirt he wore popped up his biceps and broad chest.Gosh, how did I get this handsome dude to myself alone."I'm so happy June and her insane nature is somewhere else." I stared at myself in the mirror, picking a brush from the desk beside it, brushing my hair."Has she been found?" I continued brushing my hair."Not yet, but I'm sure she'd soon be found." He sounded so certain, I had to be assured."Well

I felt my head fallen which was probably the cause of the extreme neck pain I felt.I felt a strong pain at the back of my head and wanted to rub it when I realized my hands wouldn't bulge. It was tied together behind me.Realization dawned on me that I was actually tied to a chair. Arms tied to the back and feet tied together.What was happening? I remembered being hit on the head with something and Hane running towards me.Hane. Oh no, where was she? How was she? Kate would be so worried. Did she end up getting married or came to search for Hane.I opened my eyes, straightening my extremely hurting head.Where was I? The whole place was foggy. Filled with puffs of cigarettes.The air in my lungs choked at the scent. I couldn't breathe normally. The place was obviously too small for cigarettes.But that wasn't my concern at the moment. Where was Hane and was she alright?I noticed a figure strutting through the air of smoke.I s

    Three years Later"Oh my Eri, you look stunning." Suzy said, staring at Eri with much brightness in her eyes.Eri stared at herself once more in the mirror of the place they were in.Suzy was right, she did look great. She had on a dark blue spaghetti handle ankle length gown that popped out her curves, showing a moderate amount of her cleavage.Her hair, which had been cut to shoulder and dyed brown, was left to sway on her shoulders and made her look even prettier.The makeup artist had done wonders to her face. She was the definition of beauty."And you don't look too bad either." She threw a glance at Suzy who was dressed in a gray knee length gown that was flared from the waist downwards."Although you'd have looked prettier if you were coming with a man behind you, like seriously you're twenty-four, when would you get a boyfriend."Just like she'd been doing everytime Eri asked her the question, she rolled her eyes.

    -Don Jones-As I was typing on the laptop, I suddenly felt bad for the way I'd treated Eri.I was too busy to give her enough time. She was a human after all and needed some attention.I was sure she thought I'd forgotten about our anniversary, but I hadn't (which would've been the dumbest thing if I had).I didn't want to pay too much attention to it as I'd planned a surprise for our anniversary and I knew myself, if I was to pay too much attention to it, I might ruin the surprise one way or another (as I was terrible at keeping things).The vibrations from my phone on the desk beside my laptop, interrupted my thoughts.I decided to ignore it. I needed to finish work and didn't want any interruptions.Realizing it wasn't nice to ignore messages, I reached for my phone. It could be a client or something.I unlocked the phone, puckering my forehead when I noticed I'd gotten a text from Eri.She barely ever texted me. Why would she do so all of a sudden?I clicked on the message.'Dom,

    -Rose Dern-Stretching on the very soft and comfortable bed, I sat straight on the bed.It had been two weeks in Canada and I hadn't found a reason to regret my decision.Darien hadn't made any move on me yet, which I was comfortable and glad about.We mostly ate, talked and worked.We'd also not met his family yet, but we were supposed to go today and truth be told, I was really nervous.I went to the bathroom in my room, took a shower and brushed my teeth, then came out with a towel wrapped around me.I reached for my suitcase that lay beside my bed. Opening it, I began selecting clothes.I needed to look beautiful to meet Darien's parents. I couldn't just go looking whack, they might just throw me out as they were obviously rich and probably wanted their son's girlfriend to be the same.Finally, after about ten minutes I decided to put on the flare red off-shoulder knee length gown.I sat on the chair in front of the mirror, picking up the brush on the small table in front of me.

    -Rose Dern-I stared nervously at the black suitcase in my hand.Was I really doing the right thing? I mean, traveling all the way to Canada with a man I hadn't dated up to a month, was that a smart idea?Not to talk of the fact I would be meeting his family. The Mr and Mrs Stan.That thought made me shiver."Enjoy your trip, and don't forget to call, okay?" Suzy pulled me to a warm hug which I returned."Bye now." I pulled apart, allowing the bodyguard to take my suitcase from me, placing it in the boot of the car I entered.I was to head to Darien's place and we'd both head to the airport and get to Canada.The drive to his place didn't stop me from feeling nervous.I tried to convince myself it was just a business trip and we'd just be going to visit his parents. It was nothing serious.The car came to a halt in front of a beautiful and huge mansion.It was way bigger than the one I lived in with Suzy, but it was slightly smaller than Don's.I came out of the car as soon as a man o

    I stared at all the puzzled gazes directed to me.Don was staring intensely at me, like he was trying to read my mind or something.But the worst gaze was from Rhys and Lucy. They were literally searing holes into my forehead.Jenny just sat on the sofa beside me, her expression unwavering. Her gaze was directed to mostly Lucy."So... why are we here?" Rhys asked after the two minute silence since everyone had settled down.Normally, I wouldn't care to call them even though it had to do with their daughter (you may call me mean, but still, why would I care about them), but I realized since Don is a man of power and so is Rhys.If I can combine both powers, June might be found easily.I turned to Jenny who didn't return the gaze. "Could you please repeat everything you told me earlier today."All stares were directed to her, but she still didn't seem affected. Her gaze was still directed to Lucy."I apologize for not saying this earlier, but Miss Silver is pregnant."I noticed the thre

    -Lucy Silvers- I just stared at Rhys pacing back and forth round the room, looking as stressed as ever. He ran his hand through his hair like the billionth time. At this rate, he was going to hurt himself from stress. "Fuck. Shit." That was like the hundredth time he was cussing. "How could she do this? How could she attempt murder three times? Three fucking times?!" "Ah shit." He stopped by the wall, punching it hard, I was certain he was going to be bleeding. Either way, I sat on the bed unmoving. He seemed to notice my behavior because he stopped to stare at me like I was loosing it, when in fact he was the one who looked insane. "Why aren't you taking this seriously?" He creased his brows. "Were you in this with her?" I scoffed barely audibly. "What should I do? Should I roll around the floor, crying and pleading for anyone to find June." From his gaze, it was obvious he thought I was traumatized by losing my only child, but that was so far from the truth. "You know, I k

    -Rose Dern-I stared intensely at Eri who had suddenly turned pale, clutching harder to the bedsheet.One might think I was being mean, but I loved Eri more than anything in the world and for as long as June was out there, Eri wasn't safe.Three times! Three times she'd almost died. It was a miracle she was still alive.If she died, it would be too much to handle. I wouldn't be able to move on. Eri's a sister not just a friend and I just can't lose her."Eri—""No." She cut me off sharply."No?" I sighed. I knew this wasn't going to be easy.She stared at me, her gaze softening which warmed my heart. "I understand why you're saying this, it's because you care.""Yes and—""But you should know that as much as I love you two, I'm also in love with Don and can't spend the rest of my life away from him."I bit my lower lip, trying to calm my hurt.Obviously I knew she loved Don, but June loved him more and would do anything to get him."But what if you don't get to live ti—"I only rememb
