TIME

"Are you okay?" Arietta asked as soon as the door flung open, and he stood in front of her with her father standing behind him. She had expected her father to make a scene, but he had not. She stood outside the door even though she knew the room was soundproof, meaning she would not have been able to hear a single thing from inside the room; she was still curious. "What do you mean by that? Have you turned your father into a scary monster?" Matteo asked from inside the room. "When did I say that?" Arietta asked, shrugging."You did not say it, but you meant it; why would you ask him if he was okay? Did you think I would beat him up in here?" Mateo continued."That was not what I meant." "But you did not ask about your father; you rushed to your little boyfriend, asking him if he was okay. Did you even think to ask me if I was okay?" Mateo asked."Daddy, are you okay?" Arietta asked because she knew that he would not let her off until she asked him. "I have decided to give him a ch

TANGO

Damien hated that Sam and Lila were meeting, but he did not see the need to do anything about it. Maybe if he acted as if it were because they were in a relationship that he was trying to stop, they would not think too much of it. These days he was finding it too difficult to keep his emotions in check as he would want to, and he did not like it. When he discovered that he was getting too attached to her, he distanced himself, and even though he tried to do what it did not work out for him, he kept thinking of her more. On Amber's death anniversary, he even beat himself up the more because he was falling for the woman he was supposed to be seeking revenge against. There was no way that was a normal thing; please do not fall for the people they hate. Even if he was going to ever love again, he would never love the woman who put him in this situation. He stared at the text she had sent him and thought to himself that even if he did not want to acknowledge his feelings, he had to act

SHOCK

Lila walked into Voss's home; Rosa was standing by the door to greet her. Lila wanted to forget about everything that had happened earlier and focus on this cute family that she had come to spend the evening with. When Rosa first asked that they hang out, she thought it was such a bad idea, but after Sam unexpectedly cancelled, she was glad that Rosa reached out to her out of nowhere after ghosting for weeks. "You are welcome to our home," Rosa said. "Your home is beautiful; I caught a glimpse of a garden outside, and it is so beautiful; I know I can see the full thing," Lila said. Seeing pretty flowers would not be a bad idea at all. "You think so?" Rosa asked, wondering how her eyes had caught a glimpse of her garden. People usually do not see it if she does not show them. "I do think so; do you think I can look at it?" She asked and then waved her hand in the air because she was unable to read the expression on her face. "I love looking at flowers, but if it is too much trouble

WEAKEN

Lila sat at the table with her legs shaking violently against the floor. She bit the inside of her cheek; she wanted to kneel on the floor and beg them for forgiveness; she killed their daughter and had the guts to come into their house and eat at their table. She knew that if she got on her knees and apologized, there was no way they would ever forgive her. Rosa was trying her best, but sadness had taken over her life; it was obvious that neither of them had been able to move on after the incident. She had done this to them, and even though she was the one who drove that night, she still felt very responsible for what was happening to them. "Are you okay?" Rosa called, and she blinked before nodding once."I am fine." "You seem a bit distracted." "I just remembered that I have something important at work to do." "Did I just pull you away from work for my selfish reasons?" Rosa asked, dropping the napkin to the table; she was too happy to hear that she might be the reason why she

PAIN AND GUILT

"What do you want to say?" "Why would you think I want to say anything?" Lila murmured, picking on her plate. The scrambled eggs on her plate had been there since they sat down to eat about five minutes ago. Oliver knew something was bothering her because she was one to eat her meal in a rush. "Because you keep picking on your food," he said, pointing to her plate. She looked up at him, and he nodded. "Aldos, because of the expression on your face, it seems like you are bubbling with curiosity about something, so why don't you just tell me?" "Why don't I just tell you? Don't you think you have something to tell me first?" She wanted to give him an opportunity so he could come clean about the matter. "Me?" he said, pointing to himself. "Have something to tell you?" His expression showed that he was truly hiding something from her. "I mean, you must surely need to tell me something important to you," she replied. "Are you talking about Zach?" he suddenly asked, and the memories ca

UNEXPECTED

"You will do no such thing." Lila turned to the sound of the voice; she blinked, thinking to herself that this must be some dream. Standing with a long trench coat almost cut off by her ankle and a bag in her hand with that hand crossed over her body, her mother stood. She had her hair in a tight ponytail to the back of her head; it was the same as she always had when she had to travel by air. She stood taller than Lila remembered, and her lips pressed together. "Mom?" Lila's voice came out slowly. She could not believe it, so she took slow movements until she stood before this woman. She really pushed her forward and touched her; she jerked backwards when she touched her, and she did not disappear into the air as she expected. "Mom?" she said, this time her voice coming out louder than she had expected it to. "Mom? What are you doing here?" Oliver asked. He stood up and buttoned his suit jacket before walking towards her. "What a wonderful way to say hello to your mother," she mu

DEALS OR NOT

Gavin looked down at the text message on his phone; something about it sent uneasiness down his spine. There was no way that Tessa Carson would ask to see him. When he first got the message, he told them that he knew she was out of the country, but they had tried their best to prove she was back in the city, and now he did not know why, but meeting her did not seem like a good idea. He knew that if his wife were to hear about it, then she would ask him to go and meet her. "What should I tell them?" his assistant asked. It was upon hearing his voice that I remembered that his assistant was in the same room with him. He shifted in his seat uncomfortable; there was no good side to meeting her unless that was not how he took it. He swallowed and thought of the opportunities he could create if he were wise enough. "I will meet with her," he announced. "She would like to meet tonight; should I RSVP to that?" Gavin had not expected that the meeting would happen so quickly; he wanted to go

STRANGE

"There is something important I need to report," Grey said, sad bursting into the room. Seated opposite Damien was Sam; he raised his eyebrow at him and motioned for him to go on. "Didn't you say it was important? Are you not going to report it?" Sam asked while Grey stood by the door silently, all the vigour with which he had rushed into the room gone in an instant. "Well, I do not know if I should," Grey said. "Go on," Damien said. Sam would try to figure out what it was later, and with his annoying and imposing personality, Damien would come to him when he would give him the information to save himself from the stress of going back and forth with the situation. Was it not best that he heard it firsthand?"Okay sir, I just heard from a staff member at the Voss residence that they had a visitor yesterday." "And how is that big news?" Sam said. It was not a strange thing to let visitors into your house after all. "That is strange," Damien said. Sam lifted up his head and wondere

SURPRISE

"How is this possible? What is Lila doing there?" Sam asked. The number of questions running through her mind was outnumbering that he could place a handle on a single one at a time. Lila's crying yesterday finally made sense to Damien. He had thought she was being dramatic about the situation and had ignored it, but if she was crying so much after visiting the Voss Renaissance, what did it mean? He wanted to find out how much they knew and what they did not know, but he could go into the place and just ask them questions; if he did that, then he would have to answer questions about it, too. Kevin wanted to know how and why he knew. It was going to be a messy situation, and even though he liked to act like Sam was wrong about it all, he knew deep down that he was very right about it. It was strange for him to keep tabs on them so much. "What is this?" Damien asked, hoping that there was an explanation that made sense. All the scenarios he was drawing up in his head made no sense at

SUBTERFUGE

Gavin did not understand what Tessa meant when she said she was going to go head-on with him, but he did not like it. He wondered if Lila had kept it a secret from her family that he was the reason she went to jail. It was obvious that with Oliver and Tessa gaining in on him, there was no escape for him. He would have to give up his son pretty enough. To be honest, if he wanted his relationship with Evangeline to last longer, he would like it if his son left, but he was not sure what relationship to pursue now. Should he try his best to get back with Lila? Should he have asked her mother to try and fix them back? Should he remain with Evangeline and hope for the best? "Are you coming to bed?" Evangeline popped her head in through the door. She had been standing there for a few seconds, watching him so lost in thoughts that he had not even realized that she had been standing there. "Oh hello" "What are you thinking about so much that you did not even notice me?" she asked, pushing
