All Chapters of Another side of Her: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

LondonAs soon as I got home, I took off my clothes and dug out my ancient laptop. It was in dire need of retirement, but I hadn't been able to save up to buy a new one. It was in my permanent budget list, but everyday, something else came up and it went further down the list. I didn't dwell on that thought too long though. I had a book to write. An exciting story, the sort of stuff I had always dreamed about writing. That wouldn't leave me a miserable mess while I tried to clang at the engines in my brain for even the least hundred words.Nothing gave writer's block faster than writing a book you really had no interest in.The laptop took forever to boot, or at least it felt like forever with how eager and excited I was to start writing. There were so many ideas in my head and I didn't even know where to start from. I immediately navigated to my writing app as the laptop finally came on. Here we go. I took a deep breath and let it all out. All the rejected manuscripts, the fear of f

Sinclair.I hightailed it out of the meeting as soon as it ended, not sticking around a moment longer than I was supposed to. No way in hell was I letting Sajan catch up to me with questions about Cathleen/London and rehashing the events of the vacation from hell. I'd rather stick a knife into my skull than go through that painful conversation. I let Harper know that I wasn't to be disturbed by any of the team from the meeting and hid out in my office. It wasn't like I crawled under my table or some ridiculous thing like that. Nobody could get through me without Harper giving them the say so. I was suddenly glad that I had installed the more costly privacy glass. It was entirely one way meaning that I could see out but nobody could see in.It must have been creepy for the people on the office open floor, but I was the boss, it wasn't my job to cater to their fragile sensibilities. I left work for the first time since I had come back to New York before seven pm. I had to go get ready

LondonThe familiar sound of my ringtone woke me up an hour before my alarm was set to ring. I groaned in annoyance as I reached for the phone and swiped to answer without even checking who it was."'Ello." I should have learned my lesson about picking surprise calls after the whole issue with Sinleen. Ridiculous ship name, I know."London, are you still asleep?" The voice on the other end was disapproving. I bolted upright, all traces of sleep long gone. It was four thirty am, way too early to be dealing with my family. "Mum. It's four-thirty." I pointed out. "Cathleen was already at the gym when I called her."I rolled my eyes. It was never anything new with Lisa Albright, the usual comparison between the good twin and the failed twin. Joy. "Do you ever gym?" "Cathleen sits on her butt all day while I am on my feet all day. One of us needs the gym and it isn't me." I stood up and headed to the kitchen. I was already up, might as well start my day.She made an unimpressed soun

LondonIt took me far longer to get to the pharmacy and back since I had to walk a majority of the way to save up on cab fare. I had already spent so much money on wine and a new dress, no way was I dishing out even more on a complete fare from my parents' house to the store and back. Poverty 101, walk half the distance to cut costs. I suddenly regretted buying that bottle of wine, I could have taken their disappointment and criticism. At this point it was nothing new. Not like they were going to even drink it. By the time Cath arrived with a horrendously expensive bottle, they were going to coo over it and how great she was and relegate mine to a back shelf to be forgotten. It was almost a canon event at this point. I paused. Where had all the resentment towards my family come from all of a sudden? It was as if I was suddenly seeing things from someone else's eyes. Maybe the eyes of the new London. London that had met and fallen in love with Sin. London that had decided to start s

SinclairI was going crazy. It wasn't just the punishing work schedule I had set for myself combined with the sleepless nights. It was me trying my best to push a certain brunette out of my head and failing miserably. The escape work had offered me at first wasn't working anymore and drinking alone in my apartment was a level of miserable I didn't think I had reached yet.That was how I found myself calling Lucas that evening. "Hey, what's up?" He sounded more subdued than usual. I had to pull my phone away from my ear and confirm that I was actually speaking to Lucas. Energetic, cocky Lucas."Are you okay?" He sighed and that was a terrible sign if I had ever heard any. "Nah. Work's beating my ass black and blue. That whole Forrest thing definitely went deeper than I had thought. Christ, there were a lot of people I would have trusted with my deepest secret that had been in on it. I'm exhausted." 'i was going to invite you-""I'm in." He cut in. "Anything that can get me away fro
