Celine’s POV I sat at my desk brooding. It had been days since my argument with Phillip, and I was still very angry. It was bad enough I had met that stupid Linda there. I had thought I had seen the last of her months ago, but now here she was, acting like she owned the place. And Phillip was choosing her over me. I still couldn’t believe he had the nerve to ask me to leave his house. I would deal with him for that insult. All this was no thanks to Rebecca. I had read in nearly every blog her little heroic deed. That was what brought Linda back. But I knew she wouldn’t be staying long, she had a job to get back to and once she was out of the way, I would have Phillip to myself. Or would I? Rebecca was going to be a problem. My dad had promised to handle it and I trusted him, but he hadn’t. What was he waiting for?I was alone in my office, my colleagues had gone to lunch, and I liked it. I could brood in peace. My phone buzzed, and I grumbled when I saw who it was, my dad.“Hello d

Becky’s POV “What?” I asked, shocked, angry and confused. “What are you talking about? “My dad was sick and died, we lost our house and business so I don’t know-““You didn’t. I don’t know about the house. I forgot to check, but your business is still up and running. It never went bankrupt. It is now being run by your mom.”I stared at him, my mouth opened in surprise. He looked at me, then his expression changed to pity.“You really didn’t know, did you?” He asked.I shook my head. “There is a mistake somewhere, seriously. The business failed because of the huge amount spent on my dad’s hospital bill. We had two weeks to be out of the house. That was why I needed a job that offered accommodation. My mom and Wendy went to stay with her sister. All that really happened, so I don’t know where you are getting this story from,” I said, annoyed.He looked at me for a minute. “Your mom told you this?” He asked.“Yes. The lawyer told her. My Dad’s lawyer.”“Were you there when it was discus

Becky's POV I tried to pull myself together. “Where is mom?” I asked quietly.“She went shopping,” Wendy said nervously.“Guess I better get going,” The blonde girl said. “See you at school tomorrow, Wendy.” I watched her go, wishing I was as cheerful as she.“Your friend?” I asked Wendy, for want of something to say.“Yeah, we go to school together. She was just here to assist me with my assignment,” she said awkwardly.“I remember it used to be me doing it for you,” I said softly. “May I enter?” “Sure!” Wendy stood back and I went in.The living room was just as I remembered it. It felt bittersweet being in my childhood home.“Becca, I know you are mad, but I can explain,” Wendy began, sitting beside me. “Mom asked me not to tell you that we hadn’t moved, so you won’t think of moving back in. I know it was wrong, but I agreed because I didn’t want to hurt you. Please don’t be mad.”“I am not mad at you. I just want to know why you guys didn’t move away.”“I don’t know exactly. Mom

Becky’s POV We were silent for a long time, but there was a question that nagged me. I needed to ask.“Did you ask Linda to move down here permanently?” I asked him.He frowned. “Ask Linda to move down here? No. She wanted to because she was hoping we could start a relationship, but when she saw it wouldn’t be possible, she changed her mind. Why?”“She said you asked her to move down here.”“Linda sometimes tries to force things to be the way she wants them,” he said.Meaning she lied. Which meant she had lied when she said Phillip told her he wasn’t interested in me. We watched movies till nearly midnight. I began to feel sleepy.“Want me to go?” He asked.“No. I want you to stay.” I looked up at him. “I love that you are here.”We kissed. He lay me down gently on the couch, and we continued kissing. My phone began ringing. I ignored it, not wanting to stop the kiss I was enjoying. I knew it would soon stop ringing.But it didn’t. It continued ringing till I woke up.Groaning, I ro

Phillip's POV When Celine and I entered the dining room I noticed Rebecca’s smile froze. I sighed. I hadn’t wanted to bring Celine to dinner, it had all been Frank’s idea. Celine had come to my office this afternoon looking tearful. “What is it, Celine?” I asked, irritated.“You haven’t bothered to call or text me. You don’t care how I am, and yet you know how much I love you. Why are you treating me so cruelly?” She asked.“I am not. It is just that right now I am busy, you know that.”“Busy? That is why you walked me out of your house last time? Or was it because of Linda?”“Don’t start Celine. You were making a scene. I was trying to stop you.”“So Celine is the evil one. Everyone else is good. You choose Linda and even Rebecca over me.”“That is enough, okay. I don’t have time to waste. I am working.” She burst into tears.“For goodness’ sake, Celine, stop. You are making a scene,” I said.Frank came in.“Phil I-“ He stopped and looked at us.“What is going on?” He asked.“Celi
