The sun was just setting, painting the sky with a mixture of ornage and yellow. The stars were akready peeking out to the sky, trying to overshadow the light of the sun. And the moon waitwd patiently for it to have its chnace to finakly display its glow, whether or not it was incomplete.Juan, dressesnin a black tux stood beside his car under the orange sky. Gkancing at thw clouds that looked like the stars were magical dusts that scattered around it, givung it a glitter never seen before.His short hairnwas well trimmed, and gelled to the back, somentendriks hanged aroubd his the side of his foirehead making him look like annart from the renaissance. He stood, resting on one of his leg amas he peeled his eyes away fem the grandiose sught above him.Wynn, who had been having a hard timw at jome ever since Leah got arrested, walked from her oathway yo the gate where Juan was waiting for her.She wore a dress. A silk, ruched dress that made her look like she fekk feom a modelling magaz
Kraig quickly found his way to the front of the venue of the party after he had gotten his towel from his room. The maid had been right; a lot of people were already there. He was smiling and talking to each of them, exchanging pleasantries.However, despite the crowd, he couldn't find the reason why he had run downstairs. But as he was about to give up, turn around to leave the entrance, he spotted a familiar car suddenly pull up. It was a black Mercedes, something he had seen before countless times, but there was something about this car in particular that caught his attention. He was fixated on it as he wanted to see who it was that had driven the vehicle there.His first thought went straight to Tabitha, but he didn't think she would arrive too early to the party. For some reason, he thought that because he had gone to her own party late, then maybe she would arrive late.The car door opened, and Kraig took in a sharp breath. It was as if his heart had stopped as he waited to see
Wynn saw in him a pain, a heartache she had never seen before. He looked utterly broken, and his rage could not hide that. His eyes were red with anger, and his eyebrows furrowed with hate.She opened her mouth, but no words came out. She could not think. She could not feel. She didn't know what to do or say to clarify anything.She admitted that her reluctance to make it clear to him that they were no longer together had been for the sole reason that she was in love with him. There were no other explanations for how she felt. No other explanation for anything. The only thing going through her was how her heart itself was breaking from watching this devastating scene in front of her."What's going on here?"The two of them turned to the side and saw Juan walking towards them. His brows were knitted, and his demeanor seemed to carry with it rage.Wynn didn't say anything; she just looked at him then back at Kraig as she said, "I'm just making it clear to him that the two of us are done
Kraig walked through the crowd to meet his grandfather. He wasn't excited anymore because the fight he had with Wynn had managed to strip him of the joy he used to possess. Now, he was walking around wearing a fake smile like it was an accessory. He tried too hard to seem excited because the last thing he wanted for his grandfather was for him to be upset or worried about what was going on with him.Kraig finally met up with his grandfather, who was busy talking to other men of his class. They were laughing, smiling, and probably talking about the old times.Kraig tapped his old man on his shoulder, and when he turned around, Kraig wrapped his hand around him, pulling him into a deep hug.Mr. DeVille groaned into the hug as he was enveloped in his grandson's scent. He was delighted, very happy—happier than he thought he would ever be."I never thought I'd reach this age," he said.Kraig laughed, as if all the despair he had been feeling had completely washed away."Much less be dating
Kraig's heart skipped a beat, and without even realizing what he was doing, he dashed into the bathroom. A crowd had already formed at the entrance, and his presence brought about a silence and a sort of acknowledgment. Everybody standing in front of the bathroom made way for him, allowing him undisturbed entrance to the place.Mr. DeVille lay there; his body didn't move, and Kraig could not see his chest heaving up to signify if he was breathing.He froze up.His head ached, and bile rose up in his throat. He couldn't fathom anything except his need to hold his grandfather and find out what was going on.He was on the bathroom floor in no time, holding the man. He looked him over; there wasn't any mess on his body. There wasn't any sign that this had been intentional. He looked like he was just asleep, but why would he fall asleep on the bathroom floor during his birthday celebration?"I've called for an ambulance; they'll be here soon," Daniel said after he found his way through the
After that realization, Wynn quickly fished her phone out and dialed Kraig's number. She knew that the ambulance would've already left the scene, so she decided to call. And she had to go over to a much secluded area where there was nobody around just so that she could make this phone call.Considering what had happened between the two of them, Wynn actually thought that there was no way that Kraig would pick up the call. She assumed that he wanted absolutely nothing to do with her, and that was one of the reasons why she had pulled away a bit.But no, she needed to tell him. She needed to make sure that he knew that his new friend was not to be trusted. There were no good enough evidence to back up her claim, but she needed to let him know of this, and the same way she was informing him, she was also planning on informing the detectives.Kraig answered."Hello?""Oh my god!" Wynn breathed out, "I didn't think you would actually take the call.""Wynn, what do you have to say to me?" H
Juan gave her a look, wondering if this was the woman he was secretly working for. He suspected that wasn't the case because she looked to be quite young. However, he wasn't going to pass up a chance to win her favor.He smiled as he recalled that she had been impressed with what he was doing with Wynn. So, he wrapped his hand around Wynn's shoulder, pulling her to stay right beside him."Even though we don't know much about you, we can actually get to know each other," he suggested. "There's always time," he added.Tabitha gave him a look before she shook her head, "If that's the case, Mr. Leith, we can get to know more about each other.""And how do you think we can achieve that?" he asked.Tabitha chuckled, "Well, it was your idea, what do you think?"Juan nodded, "Maybe dinner, we could get dinner together.""That sounds like a glorious idea. You just make the necessary reservations, and I'll be there." Tabitha threw a smile at the couple before she turned away and walked away fro
