Alex's pov:When I talked about the proposal from RJ industries for making an advertisement for their new product to Mr Torrez, he immediately talked with Hailey and made a deal with her in an online meeting. When Mr Torrez ended his speech with closing words to Hailey, "We're glad to work with you, Ms Walton." Hailey thanked him back and said, "Thanks for collaborating with us, Mr Torrez and Mr Perez." And ended the call with hailey. Mr Torrez said to the employees, "I'll check the list and update who will be going to Kansas for the project in the group. Now, you may disperse."After everyone left, I stayed and asked Mr Torrez, "Can I go to Kansas and take care of it in person?""Let's send someone from the production team." He said as he was looking into his laptop. I sighed and said, "Antonio, let me go to Kansas."He leaned back on the chair asking, "Why are you so persistent? Is it because you're the one who brought up this proposal?""No.""Then what's the deal? Why do you wan

Alex's pov:Back in Kansas in Hailey's meeting room, Hailey introduced the production team members along with their designations, "That's Jeremy, he's the director. Elisabeth, she's assistant director and cinematographer, Mason, Location manager. Patrick, costume designer and Cyrus from the accounting department. I picked out the best ones from each department, Mr Perez." I got up from the seat and said, "Don't want to beat around the bush, so I'll jump right into the story I made." I showed the storyboard I prepared for the brand and explained it to everyone in the meeting room and asked for their suggestions. They were more responsive than I expected. I felt relaxed after hearing about their ideas and the enthusiasm they showed for the project. After everyone left the meeting room, Hailey asked me, "Why didn't you say anything about the team? I thought you'd pick whoever you want and discard the others. Or did you take them because you're feeling that I'm forcing it on you?" "I'

Alex's pov:After getting the residential address from Hailey's personal assistant, I took Hailey to her house. When I knocked on the door, the door was opened by Mrs Walton. When I walked in holding Hailey, Mrs Walton asked, "Do I know you? You look familiar to me.""I'm Alexander Perez, I'm working with Ms Walton for an advertisement." When she showed me the room, I made her lay on the bed and walked out of the room. When I tried to leave the house, Mr Walton walked in asking, "What are you doing here?" Mrs Walton, "He's working with Hailey. I think she got a little drunk so he came to drop her."Mr Walton, "He's not working with Hailey." And turned to me asking, "What are you doing here? How did you find her?" I sighed and said, "We met at a success party which was held in Dallas. Hailey's the one who asked me to do an advertisement for her new product. If you don't believe me, you can ask her personal assistant."He made a call to Hailey's personal assistant and talked to her.

Hailey's pov:When i came to the company, I saw Mr Perez talking with my employees. I ignored him and walked to my cabin. While i was working, Jane, my personal assistant, came in and informed me, "Mr Perez is here to talk with you about the production, mam. Shall I let him in?"When I nodded, Mr Perez walked in with a big smile on his face. After he sat down, I asked while looking at my laptop, "Jane told me you have something to talk about the production. What is it?" "Since we're going to take the scenes today, I thought you might be interested to join us…"I cut him off saying, "I'm sorry about that, Mr Perez. I have other work to look at.""Alright." When he was about to leave, I asked, "Send me the clips once the scenes are done, Mr Perez." He gave me a nod and walked out of my cabin. Shit! Why do I feel like I was rude to him? I really want to be there and look at the production process but I don't want to see him. Why is it so hard to ignore someone? I have never ignored s

Hailey's pov:I drove away from the house as soon as I saw those images from the old diary. I dialled Mr Perez's number, and he answered, "Yeah?" "I'd like to see you. Where are you? Are you at your place? Please send me the address.""It's 3 am.""What's the big deal? I need to see you straight away. Please send me the address.""Is something wrong?" I hung up with him and dialled Jane's number to get his address from her. I went immediately to Mr Perez's house after having the address from her. I knocked on his door and stood in front of it, expecting him to open it. I walked in when the door opened. "Did you fight with your parents?" he inquired. I handed him the diary and asked him to open it. He was clearly astonished to see those photographs. "What is our relationship?" I questioned as I approached him."We're friends.""Do friends kiss like this?" I inquired, pulling up the kissing image. "Hailey… I'm sorry I didn't mean…" "Why didn't you come back to me, Alex?

"Austin! Austin! What the hell are you doing to me? let go of me!!!" The girl was screaming as she kicked and thrashed in her restraints but even her efforts were futile against the boy's strong grip. She tried to punch him but he just grabbed hold of her hands instead. His face had hardened into a scowl, a look of complete anger on his handsome features. The boy’s gaze bored into her, looking as though he were ready to devour her with those angry hazel eyes. But his glare soon morphed into something else, that of utter terror. "I swear if you don't stop this right now I'll-" but the rest of her words were lost as the boy suddenly collapsed against her chest. The girl screamed again, trying to break free but the only thing that came out was an incoherent mumble as she felt herself fall forward too. "What... what...?" The boy had passed out. She looked down at him in horror and confusion, not knowing how to react or reactivate him. "Hey! wake up! Wake up you jerk!!" She yelled fran

At school, Austin wasn't a popular kid. He didn't fit in with his classmates or students. He was different from everyone else, and that made him the outsider among his peers. Everyone knew there was something wrong with him, even the teachers, so no one really paid any attention to him. But it also meant he had no friends at all. He spent most of his lunchtime in silence. That suited Austin just fine, to suck blood whenever he felt hunger or boredom. It gave him time to think… and plan revenge against the people who were being mean to him for no reason. And then he would come out of hiding at the end of the day and get them back by drinking their blood and making them suffer for a week. That's what he told himself anyway. But he was lonely. So many people wanted to be friends with him because of his looks. But none of them seemed able to understand why Austin had chosen solitude as his life path. None of them could see past his eyes. Not even the teachers did. They tried their harde

Hailey's pov;After searching the entire campus for Austin, I settled on a bench in the courtyard of the school library with my backpack, phone and two bottles of water."Did you like the picture of us?" Dean asked, sitting next to me."I don't know because I didn't want to look at them." "What do you do after school?""Why do I have to tell you?" "Because I'm taking you to a nearby cafe."I smiled and asked, "Do I appear to have nothing to do apart from you?" I paused and asked, "Would you mind leaving?" "I made this reservation last Monday," he said standing in front of me. "It cannot be postponed.""Then go alone. Why do you ask me?""I reserved two members." "Why don't you take that little dog with you?" I said leaning back. "You two seem to be more compatible than we are." "We're not what you think," he said sitting next to me. "We're just friends.""Friends rolling around naked in bed?" I asked, moving closer to him."I made a mistake. I was drunk and not in my-""We broke u

~ EIGHT YEARS LATER ~Alex's pov:"Good morning, Perez!" When Ms Sanchez greeted me, I greeted her back by saying, "Good morning Ms Sanchez." "The President asked you to meet him when you're here, Sir.""Okay, I'll go ahead. Thank you for informing me." And headed to the president's cabin. When I entered the cabin, the president said, "I heard the campaign went pretty well. As expected, you gave your best even though it's not your position. Thank you for your hard work, Mr Perez." And placed a letter on the table saying, "And, I want you to do me a favour. While I was thinking about a person to send for our latest advertisement success party, you came to my mind, Mr Perez. I hope you're free this weekend to attend this party on behalf of me." He pointed to the invitation saying, "I attached the flight tickets, hotel room details and the place of the party with the invitation for your reference." "I have an important meeting to go to. Otherwise I would have gone by myself."He didn'

Hailey's pov:A week later, Since I felt bored and alone, I couldn't stay home any longer and came to college.As I walked in the hallway, everyone stared at me but I didn't give attention to any of them. In the classroom, I became invisible from my own friends and classmates. No one talked with me or asked for my help on anything. The teacher who asked me to run an errand for him everytime now forgot my name. People in the canteen treated me like trash so I walked out without eating anything. I went to Alex's classroom, but he wasn't there. His classmates said he's on leave today. When the second bell rang, I was on the way to the next class, I saw Alex walking somewhere. Didn't they say he didn't come today? I walked to him and called out his name, "Alex." He looked at my bandaged hands and asked, "Why didn't you stay home and rest until you recover?"I hugged him as soon as I realised he still cares for me. He broke the hug and said, "I have to go. Take care." I held his hand

Hailey's pov:When I woke up, I was in the hospital. When I tried to get up, my hand felt heavy to even lift it up in the air. When I took a look at it, it was bandaged well. What happened to my hand? I touched it to feel the pain and I remembered what happened. Riley?! I removed the trip's needle from the back of my hand and got out of the bed. And when i came out of the room, mom and dad were sitting on the three seater chair. Seeing me they came to me calling out my name, mom, "Hailey! What are you doing out of the bed?" I peeked through other rooms asking, "Where's Riley? What room is she in?" Mom held my hand saying, "Calm down. Calm down, Hailey. Come on, let's go to your room first."I brushed her off asking, "Where's Riley? I want to see her." And started looking inside every room I came across. "I want to see her right now."Dad, "Hailey, listen to me." When I ignored him and kept looking for Riley, she grabbed both of my shoulders and said while looking into my eyes, "She

Hailey's pov:After I arrived at the street where Riley sent the address, I messaged her that I reached and got a reply from her that she's nearby. I put my phone back in my pocket and waited for her looking either side of the street. It looked empty which scared me a little. As I was waiting for her, I saw Riley walking towards me from my right. I ran to her and gave her a hug. She returned the hug asking, "What's the emergency? Why did you ask me to come see you? What happened?"I opened the zip a little and showed her what's in that bag saying, "One million dollars like you said. Is this enough for them or do you need more?" Riley closed the bag asking, "Are you insane? How did you get this money? Did you ask your parents? Did you ask them?" I looked away from looking at her and said, "No. I didn't ask them." "I got it from… it doesn't matter who it is. Just take the money and give it to them. And, stop hiding yourself from them from now on." And gave her the money. "I can't ta
