“What?! Are you not going to get her?!” Alora questioned loudly, feeling anger grow when she saw the way that James was glaring.“Hmm–umm, you are her step–grandma,” James mumbled beneath his breath in annoyance as he tried to ignore the anger building up in him.After hearing those words, Alora knew James wasn‘t fond of her, and she sighed out her frustration, putting her hands on her hips.“Fallon!!” Alora shouted as loud as she possibly could. Her voice reverberated through the entire apartment, and James stared in disbelief for a second, annoyed at the scene she was creating. “Fallon, Silver!” Alora screamed as loud as she possibly could. A frown crossed James‘s lips as the silence continued, and Raphael glared over at them before saying, “Can one of you go and get her!?” Walking into the lobby, Mrs Gilbert‘s expression grew darker than ever at the sight of Alora and Raphael.“What are you doing here?!” Mrs Gilbert asked harshly, causing Alora to flinch back slightly from the ton

After a few minutes of silence and tense tension between Gary and Alora, Fallon broke the silence and nervously said, “This is not Gary’s fault, and if you want me to apologise to you.”“You don’t need to feel remorseful for saying your truth” Gary interrupted, his voice slightly calmer compared to beforePinching his shirt, Fallon pouted as she thought, ‘I know But if you keep provoking her like this, you might also get hurt, and it will be my fault I can’t let that happen, and I won’t let myself be responsible for it!’Staring at Gary’s body blocking Fallon from her view, Alora’s gaze flickered towards Gary and she narrowed her eyes suspiciously, thinking, ‘Is he being this defensive with Fallon, so she can shield him too because of her connection with Bryan Checks. Does he know that they are dating, and that’s why he’s risking it all to gain her favour?!’Raising a brow, Alora looked down on Gary and mumbled in her head, ‘That must be it. He's way too bold and defensive of Fallon t

The office was filled with silence once again for a few moments until Dillon suddenly laughed loudly, startling Raphael and making him jump in surprise. “Bryan is a very attractive man, isn’t he,” Dillon remarked with a chuckle as he wiped a tear from the corner of his eye. “Of course he would have an interest in a lady! He’s always flirting when we are out, drinking.” “Yeah…?” Raphael responded quietly before he continued, “So… Who do you think he’s serious about right now?” An intense expression covered Dillon ’s face as he stared directly at Raphael without looking away, furrowing his brows as he asked. “You have a sister, right? Sandra… is this about her?”“Uh… I wish! But, no.” Raphael answered quickly with a chuckle, shaking his head in denial.A curious glint entered Dillon ’s eyes as he inquired, and then he relaxed in his seat, mumbling, “Bryan is like a loose cannon. The guy is a player… He doesn’t acknowledge a woman openly because he is constantly looking around for

Ryan had just returned from a medical meeting at the hospital, he rested his suitcase on the bed, looked back when his room door burst open, and James rushed into the room.“What?” Ryan asked, with a bewildered expression.“I just saw this!” James said, holding up his phone in his hand.Annoyed, Ryan snatched his phone with a blank expression on his face and played the video, his eyes widened slightly.“So when Boss and Fallon went out… Damn!!” Ryan gasped as he listened to Fallon confronting Alice on the video.“Damn indeed…” James agreed with a chuckle.“Does Gary know that someone uploaded what happened at the bar onto the internet?”“Yeah, he should by now.”The room fell silent after James stopped talking, but eventually, Ryan broke the silence as he mumbled, “With the lies that spread and now the video of this Alice person confronting him, he‘s never going to escape the rumours.”There was a long pause, and then James frowned and said, “You think! The fact that he carried her ou

At the dining, everyone was talking well except for Gary, who was completely into his meal.How accurate Fallon was with the time that had passed made Gary‘s eyes drift towards her, knowing that since the day they wanted to leave, he had been keeping his distance from her and trying his hardest to keep himself occupied. They had been staying away from each other and even though it felt strange Gary didn‘t want to admit it; he missed spending time together with her, and he hated seeing the disappointment in her eyes when their gazes locked.Brushing his thumb against his bottom lip, Gary drifted into his thoughts with his focus solely on her and his mind blank.As Fallon’s gaze darted away from James, it rested on his steady eyes and the way they stared deep inside hers. Uneasy, she pushed her plate, woke from her seat, and said, “I‘m full.”Worried, Mrs Gilbert looked at the still fill plate and then at her daughter, feeling a pang of guilt and heartache since she has watched the two
