Phill sat in Lea's cabin. " She is in her first trimester but we will do a detailed ultrasound later when she regains consciousness." He had personally talked with the gynecologist assigned to her. Her phone was in his hand. He had taken it from the concerned department which had the rest of whatever was found on her body. The phone was still switched off. Phill looked at his own reflection, repeatedly on the screen before finally making his mind up and turning the phone on. He had to immediately turn the volume off because her phone's speaker began blasting the room with constant, incoming notifications. " As expected! " Phill retorted. " This was a bad idea. " He murmured after looking at Jake's messages -" LEA WHERE ARE YOU? "" LEA CALL ME BACK? "" LEA I CAN EXPLAIN. "" LEA I AM SORRY, COME BACK. "Phill couldn't read till the end of it. He switched the phone off and slid it inside his pocket. Just then he noticed Lea's fingers moving. He ran up beside her, checking if all

" Jake , you simply cannot take a day off. This is the final sketch before the last day of shoot. You need to come for practice. "Rosa was short of yelling on the other side as Jake hung up. He had locked himself up in his apartment and refused to go to work. He was still standing in front of the mirror in the washroom. The water that he had splashed on his face for the hundredth of time, took its sweet time dripping down his neck. He looked at broad shoulders. The scratch marks from Rosa's nails, still looked fresh and prominent. His eyes looked red as they kept glaring at his own face. He tried to focus on what he was doing. But the images from that night were still vague. How much alcohol could make him loose his rationale? He thought his alcohol tolerance was good. He couldn't even remember drinking past that one glass. He immediately picked up his phone and called Rosa back. " Hello Jake! So you finally decided to come, didn't you?" Her voice was cheerful this time from

Lea's POVJake was sitting right in front of me.He sat there silently with my hand in his hand and his head hung low, staring at the floor. Even though there was physical contact between the two of us, it suddenly started to feel like we were miles apart. He was aggressively trying to apologize but after my refutation, he simply gave up. Quite unexpectedly and suddenly. He was zoning out. But I did not have any idea what to make of his behavior. I was exhausted. My body and mind were not in sync. My skin was already rejoicing at the touch of his skin but something inside me, told me that Jake was not the same. " May be you should go home and rest. " I finally told him because it seemed like he was unable to utter amy thing. I did not want things to be any more complicated than it already was. " You want me to go home? " He asked without even looking up. " Yes, Jakey... " I paused short of a smile. Calling him Jakey was like my happy pill but something told me, I wasn't doing

Meanwhile at the Rodgers' mansion -" Mama! It means so much to me! How could you hide that letter from me? It's a good thing that they thought of using my alternate number. You were keeping a tag on my phone and my computer? Am I your daughter or a prisoner in this house? "Mercy erupted like a volcano when she learnt that her mother had been personally keeping her away from her dreams. " Do you have any idea how many people struggle to get a contract from that brand? " She was fuming. But her mother did not lose her calm even for the split of a second. She elegantly put her tea down and went behind the drawers and fetched some papers, throwing them on Mercy's face. " Did you forget, little girl,that you are not 'everyone'. I could make you a shareholder in that brand if it means so much to you. But modeling for them is like giving your precious body to them as a clothes hanger. You are my only daughter. You share my last name. You need to always be mindful of that fact. You can'

Lea's POVIt was as if my life had become one hiatus after another. I was finally able to make up my mind. I left Jake. I finally broke up with him. I left him with a note. Just a note and then I disappeared from the hospital. It was a great thing that Rosa had come to visit the day before I made my final decision. Her words were cruel but crucial. I needed someone to tell that loud and clear for me to make my move. It was for the best. It was for Jake's sake that I broke up with him, over a note. Phill had helped me with that job like he promised but unlike I promised him, I couldn't live in the same city where Jake was. This time I was going to disappear as in, vanish from existence. I didn't even get back to our aunt. I just told her that I was going to go away somewhere for a job and that I was not going back home. I changed my number. I blocked everyone I knew. If Jake was not going to be a part of it, the life that I previously knew, the Lea that I was... was better o
