There was surely nothing she could do at that moment. It was already happening, and rather than wish for the ground to swallow her up—which was far from being possible, she decided to face the reality.She could not bring herself to look into his eyes, or even utter a word, but she had to."Hi, Jayden," she said, forcing a smile.It was still like a dream to him; his lost cousin was with him, all this time—in school, and even at work. Yet, she did not deem it fit to tell him. He stared at her. His eyes gleaming with unsorted emotions. The one last woman he had trusted, and believed that she was different from the rest, was actually like the rest. Worse, even.Fernando noticed how he stared at her, as though he would chop her head off in the next minute. He cleared his throat, and Jayden jolted back to reality. "Jayden, meet your other cousins, Natalia and Natasha. They are twins," he said, but Jayden seemed a bit understand."Hi, Tasha! Hello, Talia!" He greeted, finally taking his

She could not blame him. She would have done the same thing—worse, even. Despite his acclaimed fact about women, he still exempted her, even after they lost contact with each other for a few years. He had seen her, differently. In every thing he did, and said about women, he never included her. He always defended her, and shared almost all his problems to her, even though he found it difficult to. He had cherished their best friendship, and now, she had just ruined it. She remembered that he had showed concern, a few months ago, about her broken family. How he promised to help her search for her father, after their project meeting at Crescent City.Just a couple of weeks ago, he had asked her about her family, if there was any news. She could have told him, then, but she didn't. Even now, she could not explain the reason she hid it from him.The 7 years friendship they had built, was crashing down in front of her, because of a single act. She did not know how he was going to respo

Ben had waited for Sonia to come home, but it was getting late, and she hadn't returned yet. He wanted to settle the fight they had, that was why he came, not because of work, alone. Unbeknownst to Sonia, he had placed a tracker on her phone. He wore a shirt, and left the house to the location."Hi, have you seen this lady?" He had asked the receptionist, showing her a picture of Sonia.The lady had nodded, and directed him to the room, and how to get there, after he had told her that Sonia was his sister.He had reached the room, but didn't knock. He stood there for a while, eavesdropping.He needed to go back home, so he knocked on the door.He could see the dried tears on her face, and that made him furious.He gestured to Sonia, asking her to come out. She wondered what he was doing here, and how he found her, as she did not tell him where she was going to. However, she followed him out."Let's go," he said, nudging her forward. "Wait for me at the reception," he added.He turned

Andrea left Jayden's room, to the sitting room. It was getting late, she knew, but she needed to clear her head. She could not sleep, and she had no idea where Jayden was.She sat there, lost in her thoughts, oblivious to the voice that kept calling her. She jolted back, as she felt a hand touch her shoulder. She clutched the thick lace that covered her body—chest region, and heaved a sigh."Uncle," she said, in a whispering tone.Her uncle, Mr. Fernando had been standing behind her, for a while, but she had not noticed his presence. He had even called her name, but she seemed so lost in thought. He knew that something was bothering, and suspected that it had something to do with Jayden.He sat beside her, and studied her facial expression. It seemed like she had been crying."What is wrong, Andrea?" He asked.She shook her head, "no…nothing, uncle.""So, why are you still up? It's getting late, already," he said, checking the time."Oh, I…I'm not sleepy. I just wanted to…to relax,

"Hey, we didn't see you last night. Where were you?" Natalia asked Andrea, who was on her way to get water in the kitchen."Oh! Yeah, I…I came, but you were already sleeping. I had some work to finish, and it was already late, so I didn't want to disturb your beauty sleep," Andrea replied, putting on a smile on her face."You're right. I slept off, pretty early. Guess I was tired. Anyways, do you mind we go on a girls' date? I mean, the three of us," she asked. Thinking that she might refuse to tag along, she decided to convince her, "c'mon, it will be fun. You might even get to meet your soulmate," she said, wiggling her eyebrows, and smiling mischievously."Alright, alright! Fine, then. When are we going for the date?" She asked, surrending to her, because she knew she could not say no. She needed some time off, to relax, and enjoy."Seems like you are more excited than I am! How about today?" Natalia said, seeking her opinion."Today, it is.""Uh, what's happening today?" Natasha a
