Chapter 49 Axel took a cab back home looking so down, trying not to cry He had gone to visit his parents at the apartment where they live but the landlord told him his parents moved out two weeks ago He was flabbergasted his parents never told him about moving out Or perhaps do they think he is now an heartless child just because he never visited them for a month? Why didn't they tell him? Throughout the one month, he called them but they never picked up his calls Two hours earlier, he got a text from his dad telling him not to come looking for them again Which was why he hurried to their house but they moved out already. The tears he had been trying to hold back slowly started to flow down his cheek. "Young man, are you okay?" The cab driver asked on noticing this He sniffed back his tears and looked out through the window Even if he had to cry, it shouldn't be inside a cab "I am fine. Something got into my eyes which is why it is teary" he tried to make something up an

Since Jackson Dream is very rich and influential, many powerful people may be working for him But who could it be? It may be someone who holds grudges against him He wanted to suspect his mother-in-law, Mrs Williams but shook it off If it was Mrs Williams, then Emerald won't be the target He wanted an answer "Why are you so quiet?" Marissa asked on noticing his silence "He probably has a lot to think about, he looks pitiful" Emerald mocked He wasn't intending to look pitiful He just needed time to think "You guys are so loud" he said and stood up, grabbing his leather jacket "Where are you going?" Marissa also stood on her feet "Home" "Let's go together" "No, you stay here and watch Emerald while I am gone. Jenny is not coming

Perhaps if he go back to his room, Marissa's earrings might still be on his dressing mirror table. "What's taking you so long? Hurry up, your food is getting cold" Jenny called from the dinning room "Coming!" He replied her and returned the earrings back in her bag. He walked to his room but Marissa's earrings was gone. It was really hers inside Jenny's bag He arched his brow, trying to wrap his head on why Jenny would take the earrings He thought of going back to ask her so she could give a reasonable explanation Who knows? She might have taken it by mistake But he thought of leaving her to see what she is up to He recalled losing his engagement ring in the same room and Marissa found it In as much as he never wanted to suspect her, he suddenly started to have the feelings that she threw the ring away His ringing tone snapped

Chapter 53 "Because I like you but you are always giving her attention". Jenny finally spoke up. She expected Colin to look surprised At least a little bit of surprise should show on his face But his expression never changed. Axel was right, he knew she had a crush on him all along But he never said anything or at least give an hint about it. She was Sad. She knew the possibility of her getting rejected and things becoming awkward between them henceforth was huge. Colin was quiet He was not looking at her, he held his chin up, staring into the air This made Jenny even more anxious Perhaps he was thinking of how to reject her humbly "I......"

Chapter 54 Colin walked to the door to open it, silently praying it was not someone who would harm them. It was past 12:00Am in the morning so he didn't understand who would be at the door. Luckily, his prayers were answered as he opened the door, it was just Axel and Jenny. He heaved a sigh of relief as Axel carried drunk Jenny in "She drank a lot" Axel looked exhausted, he must have carried her all the way from the club "Why is she here again?" Marissa arched her brow "Ask Colin, it's all his fault. This wouldn't have happened if he didn't reject her confession....." "Axel" Colin cautioned him to stop talking "Where should I put her?" Axel asked "Upstairs. The first room by your left" Colin replied "I still have to climb the stairs? This is too much" Axel groaned as he carried her upstairs "What in the world was Axel talking about? You rejected Jenny?" Marissa sounded as if mocking Jenny Or perhaps, the both of them "I didn't" Colin turned his face away "Of course yo

Chapter 55 Colin was fast asleep. He slept like a baby, he has been through a lot for the past few days that he never had the chance to have a good sleep. Luckily, he slept nicely this time, But it was not nice enough. Someone kept knocking on his door , he tossed on his bed not willing to open the door for whoever it was. It can either be Marissa or Emerald. Jenny only knock twice and if she does not get a reply, she would leave. He groaned as he stood up from the bed to open the door for who it was. Just like he had expected, it was really Marissa. "What in the world do you want?" He could barely keep his eyes open as he was still sleepy. "It's morning already, you shouldn't be sleeping by this time" Marissa showed him the time on her phone. It was just 6:45Am. It's been a while since he woke up by that time and that was when he was still living with the Williams. He would wake up so early to do some works and prepare a special breakfast for Marissa before preparing t

He wondered what will be going on with her right now Axel told him to protect marissa but he did a very bad job "I have to do something" he grabbed his jacket and made attempt to leave but was surprised to see Emerald by the door "Move, I have to go somewhere " "Go where? I figured out you might want to leave which is why I stood by the door. Marissa left on her own so don't even think of following her" Emerald warned "I need to know what is going on with her" Colin sighed "Which is why you have a phone, call her " Emerald shrugged. Colin ruffled his hair in anger and glared at Emerald "You glaring at me won't change the fact that I won't let you go out" Emerald was not bothered He sighed as he picked up his phone and dialed Marissa's number but she wasn't picking up He dialed Axel's number too, he was not picking up too That even made him more worried, it seems t
