Chapter 25

Greg"Gosh, he must have been so disappointed."I stared between Lyra and Bella, who I had just told the story of my failed date with my boss, and scoffed."You must be kidding me. I also said Kael is alive; are you just going to ignore that?"Lyra shrugged. "I did tell you that he's alive.""Wait, you knew?"Both Bella and I turned on her to stare, and she shrugged again, "I wasn't sure at first, but then I saw him with Adrian and knew. I didn't know he was going to come back to you. He's supposed to be undercover. That's the point of the whole show. Die and live a new life.""So..." I went silent as I tried to take in all of that.Not only had that asshole faked his death, but he had also come to my date to do... that.And now, my best friend knew.I stood up from the bed to go get a can of beer or champagne even from her fridge downstairs, and I jumped when I saw Bella there already.Wasn't she upstairs just now?God, I must be losing it.She turned to me with a smile and kept her

Chapter 26

Kael"Wasn't expecting you to like it enough to bring it back home, though."He pushed me away from him and glared, his lips tightening into a line I found so cute.God, the way they had tasted when I...I glanced up at his face when he hit me slightly on my chest, "So what? I was meant to leave it in the office for everyone to see.""That wouldn't be so bad now, don't you think?"I walked away from him and sat down on the couch I had spent a whole two weeks rotting on."How do you even know where I work? How are you alive and..." He glanced around. "Where is my sister?""Oh, so she is your sister?"Yup, I had figured that out already after driving away from the explosion that was supposedly my car a week or two ago, but still..."Where is she?" He ignored my question as he went through the whole apartment frantically, and I folded my arms when he stopped in front of me a minute later."Where is she?!""I don't know. I think she stepped out to do something or get something.""What?"I

Chapter 27

GregHe had not been lying.Gia was indeed in a black van at the back of the house, bloody and unconscious, and with her were three other men who were just as bloody and unconscious.I wondered who they were or if they were still alive, but most of all, why they had done this.Who sent them?Or were they the masterminds?For what reason, though?Was it Kael?I mean, he was the one who had told me about this, though I wondered if he was the one who had beaten them up brutally like this.I sighed, relieved, though when I checked my sister's pulse, to see that she was still breathing.Thank heavens.The guys could be dead for all I care as long as she was fine.I glanced at the guys and pursed my lips.I should call the police, though, right?I mean, they were probably dead and battered up, so the police should be involved... right?I took out my phone to do just that but paused when a phone suddenly started ringing in the car.It took me about a minute to make sure that I wasn't halluci

Chapter 28

GregYup, it was Jeremiah, and I was in his house.How did that happen again?The memory hit me all of a sudden.Me drinking myself to a stupor last night.A face looking oddly familiar—it must have been Jeremiah—and me ranting to the person.God. I couldn't believe I had done that after so many incidents with him already."Are you okay?" He asked as I stood up, and I rubbed a hand over my face. "Yes. So sorry for the inconvenience. I'll leave now.""I made coffee, though. You sure you don't want some?" He folded his arms and smiled. Okay, tempting, but...But nothing.I ended up in his kitchen before I could even convince myself out of it.Wow, his place was pretty cool.Masculine.Expensive also, I'll say, but he sure did look like he came from money."Your place looks nice." He looked up from the mug he was pouring coffee into and smiled. "Yeah, thanks.""You must get that a lot."He cocked an eyebrow. "Are you asking if I bring over other guys who also think the place is cool?"

Chapter 29

Jeremiah "He's not my boyfriend, Mum."At least not yet."Oh, soon then."I shrugged and sat down by my kitchen island."I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not.""Why? What is the matter?" She asked as she placed the things she had brought over in the fridge.I glanced at her when she drew over a stool to sit beside me after."I don't know... I just... I don't know what he's thinking.""Like how?"I shrugged, "I don't know."One moment, he's apologizing for God knows what; the next, he's smiling with me and pulling me in to kiss.I would be lying if I said I'm not confused."Then ask him.""Huh?""Ask him what he's thinking. It can't be that hard.""It is. At least for me. Did I forget to mention that he's my subordinate in the office?"Oh really?" I rolled my eyes as hers began to twinkle with mischief."Don't do that.""What?""That. That smile or smirk. Whatever it is."She shrugged and folded her arms. "I'm not doing anything. I just think it's cute, but you know what? You don't have to

Chapter 30

Greg The pop-up store was exactly like what we envisioned when we got there.Cobalt blue and yellow to give off that edgy but friendly vibe for the collection, and there was the runway, which was placed directly in the middle of the hall.There was a photo booth area, a try-on area, mannequins and racks, and a workshop area.I turned to Jeremiah to see him already looking at me and cocked an eyebrow. "What?""What do you think?""Oh. It's great. Exactly what we came up with."He nodded, "Just what I thought.""Mr. Stone." The event organizer, who we had employed for this sole purpose, called to us when she finished talking to a lady who walked away now, and we both turned to her."Mrs. Hutchins." Jeremiah replied. "Wasn't expecting you here...""Yeah, just thought I'd check in. How is it going?""Great. Everything has been put in place, just remaining the models and clothes, which would be displayed on the racks and mannequins over there."She pointed to them."Hmm. And backstage?"

Kael"Hm."I took a look at myself in the mirror and assessed my new appearance.Blonde hair, long now, not short.Black-rimmed glasses that were settled nicely on my face and a light stubble.I turned my head from side to side and nodded towards the man in the corner.Sebastian Hayes, who is to help me with my assignment here. He is part of the Mancini group."It will work."He nodded, "Good.""You can go then." He said to the salon staff, who immediately left and closed the door behind him, and he handed me a tab when we were left alone."Your schedule for the week.""A visit to the gallery. A meeting with the gallery curator. Then a trip to New York for an auction.""Yes."I gave him back the tab."Can't someone else do that?""What? Going to the auction?" I nodded."We need to show your credibility to everyone as an art dealer. The exhibition is to get the gallery properly introduced into the society; then we can proceed with the intricacies that will help with our assignment her

Chapter 32

GregI have a lot of things coming up.The pop-up event in a few days on Monday, the housewarming party with Jeremiah's family a day before that, and then, another project for my course at the institute. This time written.Yet, I still managed to think about a certain asshole.It could be the freaking weather news, a coffee from the coffee shop, or even a random guy wearing a hoodie on the streets, which shouldn't remind me of him, but it did, and I hate that.It was quite annoying."Greg!" The voices of my friends, Bella and Lyra, brought me out of my reverie as I stood in the middle of the office lounge staring at the TV there, and I sipped the coffee I had been holding."Sorry guys, I was just uhm..." Thinking about an asshole"... doing something."Lyra sighed, "Okay, so what should I do?""What?""She's thinking of telling Adrian on their anniversary that is coming up." Bella replied on her behalf."Oh. Right. I mean, why not? It's a good surprise.""Exactly what I said." Bella

Chapter 33

GregAdrian was already in the hotel, La Vita Eterna, when I got to its lobby, and he gestured towards the elevator, which we both got into immediately."Thank you for deciding to help me today.""Of course. It's for Lyra, so sure.""How was she when you left?""Calm." She had been pretty occupied with the shopping, which she insisted we do even though she already had a bunch of clothes early this morning, and I had excused myself a few hours later to come here."Really?""Yes. She's getting prepared for your anniversary too.""Oh, great. What do you think?" He asked once we stepped out into an open space.It was the rooftop with a single table and two chairs in the midst of it.The fuck?There were flowers also, candles, a freaking red carpet, and a whole kitchen counter beside the table setting."What is going on?" I glanced at Adrian to see him staring at me intently, and he raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Is it too small?""Small?"You must be kidding me.First of all, luxu

Chapter 34

GregThe idea kept building up in my head even after that night.Fuck him out of my system.Would it really work?I mean, there could even be the possibility that he wouldn't be good in bed, so why not?Okay, I think he would be good.He's always so... He just seems like someone who would be a good f..."Greg!"Oh fuck!I turned in my seat to see a colleague, Hunter, holding some papers, and he handed them to me, "The final report. Mr. Stone told you to bring it.""Right. Thanks."I stood up from my seat immediately to go deliver the report, and I paused in my steps when I opened his door to see him buttoning down his shirt.He looked taken aback too."S-sorry." I had forgotten to knock."No, it's fine. Come in. I stained this with that, and that's why I'm doing this..."He smiled as he pointed to the cup that was on his desk, and I took a seat after shutting the door behind me.It's crazy how we were still awkward around ourselves after we had kissed a few times."Give me a minute."
