CH 0101

Standing outside her shabby apartment, Skylar hesitated for a few seconds after Ivan had dropped her off, as the noiseless movement of his car faded into the distance, leaving her alone in the silence of the night, her heart thumping with uncertainty. On second thought, she wanted to turn back and call him to wait for her so that she could follow him home, and spend the entire week with him, so that she would avoid the drama she had been dreading experiencing again in her own house. Ever since the day of their fight, and with all that Kali said, she had been so reluctant to go home, and the thought of seeing Amelia stressed her out. It had kept her restless and stressed out with thoughts of how she would deal with the situation, and had just made her take the easy way out of pretending that nothing was wrong. She was having a shitty day already because of what happened at the fundraising event, and she didn't even need another problem sitting on her plate for that day. But she as

Skylar lay on her bed while staring up at the ceiling, lost in thoughts of the random things that were going through her mind, and making it difficult for her to shut her eyes. Seeping into the uttermost silence that settled in the room, was the soft, rhythmic breathing of Amelia, whose face was buried directly in her neck, and had curled up around her body with her arms like old times. She would close her eyes, and open them again while trying to regulate her own breathing, because it felt like she was suffocating right on that spot, while feeling Amelia's arms around her waist, and her head resting on her shoulder, as if nothing had ever gone wrong between them. But deep down, Skylar knew that something between them had changed even if they tried to ignore it, and the sudden warmth and affection from her felt out of place after the tension they had been through for weeks. Her mind kept drifting back to the dinner they had almost an hour ago, and the light conversation they had a

Skylar sat at her work desk the next day, her fingers flying over her phone’s screen as she chuckled at the message that Carlos had sent to her after she told him that she had submitted her work already, and that he should wish her good luck. She was still smiling when the door creaked open behind her, and Ivan walked in with his usual, undeniable radiance that filled the room as he strutted to her table, while watching amusingly with a raised eyebrow while she grinned from ear to ear. He gazed at her for a few minutes before he cleared his throat, his mellifluous voice drawing her absentmindedness to his initially undetected presence, “What is so funny?” he asked, his deep voice holding a hint of curiosity. Skylar's eyes instantly raised as they met his gorgeous orbs, a little startled to see him and hear his voice, but the smile that was curving her lips only grew wider as she rolled her eyes sweetly at him. Without a second thought, she dropped her phone on the table, pus

It was a chilly bright day in the early hours of the morning, which was the kind that made the air feel sharp against Kali's skin as she hurried to the front of the café after she dropped from a cab from across the street. Dressed in a plain black shirt and a pair of big shorts, she shivered slightly as she fumbled, looking for the keys to the café in her cross bag, the exhalation of her breath forming small clouds in the crisp air, as goosebumps formed tiny bumps on her skin. She scurried inside so quickly as soon as she pushed the door open, and the warmth of the room enveloped her instantly, with the familiar smell of roasted coffee beans lingering from the day before. Without wasting further time knowing she still had about an hour till the usual opening time for the café, she flicked on every necessary light in the room, before heading straight for the counter to begin her job for the day, which involved cleaning, restocking supplies, equipment check, menu preparation, inven

“You are such a traitor, man!” Ivan teased Leo over the phone with mock indignation, “You are back in the city for a whole day, and you go straight to your mystery woman before even calling me? Where is the loyalty?” He rolled his eyes. A chuckle escaped Leo as his eyes trailed to where Kira was, from the corner of the bar where he sat. She stood behind the bar, dutifully mixing drinks for the customers that were standing before her, his heart swelling with excitement before he returned to process the response he would justify himself within his head. All day, he had stuck with Kali without getting tired, and had patiently watched her from afar all day, to the point where she finished her working hours at the café, as he ordered more snacks and drinks just to see her face. After she left the café for the day, he accompanied her to the bar, never leaving her side, unable to think of anything else but not letting her go. On a normal day, he would be having a sleepover at Ivan's h

CH 0106

Sitting stiffly across from the immaculately dressed woman, Skylar could feel the intimidating aura that Mrs. Adelaide Hamilton possessed suffocating her, as she struggled to breathe properly even if it was so hard to keep it together. Her head was floating in space, and she could barely think properly, as her clammy hands clung tightly to the hem of her dress, while trying hard not to betray the anxiety that was storming within her. She had asked through the sudden call hours ago to meet as soon as possible at an extremely opulent restaurant that was extravagantly polished in gold interiors, and exuded great heights of luxuriousness which she would never be able to afford in her entire life. But all that didn't matter right at that moment, because all Skylar wanted to know was why she was asked to meet after she had been thoroughly disgraced by her in everyone's presence.‘Was it to disgrace her more? Pour her water? Smack her hard on the face? Give her money to leave her son the

CH 0107

Ivan sat behind his massive, polished mahogany desk in his room, his mind wandering for a few seconds just right after he ended a meeting with the HAVAN European division. He wondered what Skylar was up to as he leaned tiredly against the chair he was sitting on, and tried calling her phone because he wanted to see her. However, she didn't pick up her phone even when he called repeatedly, and it bothered him because it was unusual. He stood up, and straightened the creases that had formed on his perfectly tailored shirt before he buttoned his jacket, as he prepared to go so that he could check up on her. Surprise framed his face as soon as he strutted out of his office, and found out that her seat was empty and that her bag seemed to be gone too, which was quite odd. She never left without checking in with him first. Ivan’s eyes glanced at the luxurious Rolex which was clasped around his left wrist to check what time it was, and he was a little disappointed with a slight frown cros

CH 0108

The six-star restaurant was exquisite, and exuded the kind of opulence she had never felt, as the soft jazz that hummed in the background sounded much different and desirable, just from hearing it from that kind of atmosphere. Chandeliers sparkled like tiny constellations on the ceilings, and the great display of fake droplets of water from the PC roofing powered by CGI effects made everything around look so perfect. Everything except for her. Kali sat stiffly and nervously across from Leo, awkward in her oversized black shirt, shorts, and boots that were more suited for a hike than a luxurious dinner. Her short hair, which had begun to grow a little longer than the usual length she liked to keep it at, was tucked behind her ears, and was a little too messy for the pristine environment. However, she didn’t care. Leo had made her follow him after she closed for the day at the bar even at that late hour, and she couldn't care less about how she looked or appeared, unbeknownst to

CH 0109

Skylar stepped into her apartment with deep weariness engraved deep into her bones, as the weight of what she had just witnessed sat heavily on her chest, crushed her with each breath she took, and blurred her eyes with suffocating tears. The image of Ivan and Gwen kissing replayed in her head like a broken record over and over again, and it was as if a knife had been thrust into her gut. It was almost too hard to bear in mere sight, and the thoughts it brought to her mind severed her heart mercilessly. It suddenly felt as if all the moments that existed between her and Ivan meant nothing. Like she didn't even exist, enough for him to respect what happened between them. Like she didn't matter. Nothing hurt her more than the fact that the sight confirmed her fears and made her feel smaller than ever. It was even more terrifying because she didn't have the right to get angry at him. After all, they were just flings anyway. They didn't even have a name for what they were doing, so she

CH 0110

The morning sun which Skylar had always loved suddenly felt unkind as it cast its harsh light on her weary face as she trudged into the main doors of the huge company, because it seemed as if it amplified the ache in her heart and the anger she felt from deep within. She made her way into the CEO's VIP elevator with its access card because she gracefully wanted to avoid bumping into any of the company workers, not minding the talks they might make again as to reasons why she got to ride the elevator when Ivan was not even with her. She could barely look at herself in the elevator mirror that she was surrounded by when she got in, and each glance she took at her reflection revealed her tired, hollow eyes and puffy cheeks, which she had spent half an hour trying to conceal. Despite the makeup, traces of last night’s turmoil clung to her like an embarrassment that she couldn’t wash away. It was obvious that she had cried so much. Skylar just wished that she was so open and cared less
