She had been expecting him to badger her with so many questions the minute they were alone, but he had been unusually quiet for some time. Tom sighed, "I don't know. I guess I'm just trying to process some things in my head one more time before asking you any question," Tom said, and Lucy nodded in understanding. "How was work today?" She asked after some time, and Tom glanced at her. "It was going alright until you told me about it, and after that time I could…-

He was yet to make up his mind concerning his discussion with Lucy earlier. Even though he understood everything Lucy had said, and as much as she was right, he also wanted to look out for himself. It was wrong timing. He had met Miley at the wrong time. If he hadn't just experienced this crazy relationship with Rachel, maybe he would have been open to getting to know Miley and being friends with her, but he was yet to heal emotionally, and the worse thing he could do to himself was to…

"It's not important. Are you ready to leave?" Harry asked, choosing to take Tom's interruption as a sign that he shouldn't proceed with that yet. Perhaps he still needed to tread with caution. It seemed like every time they were close to making a breakthrough in their communication someone always interrupted. First, it had been his father who barged into the guest bedroom just when Jade was telling him how she wanted to live rent-free in his head. Next, it had been the important call…

He had been busy all day, moving from one meeting to another immediately after they returned to the office, so he had been unable to give some thought to what had happened earlier in the day. Now that he had some time to himself alone in his office, he was able to think about Tom's strange behavior as he recalled their meeting with the investors and the strange exchange with the lady in front of the restaurant. What could be so serious that Tom couldn't tell him about? Did…

"No. Not there. Yes, right there. Good. I look better from that angle," Miley explained as the girl parted one side of her hair and rolled it up with Brazilian rollers so that when she let down the hair, some of it would fall in curls and cover the right part of her face. "Can you just let her do her job?" Amy asked, and Miley shook her head. "No, I can't. I paying her to make me look irresistible so I have to get my money's worth. Don't I, sweetie?" Miley asked the…

If it was mere fiction, then she probably wouldn't have been at such a loss. She couldn't seem to figure out what to write since she was mixing up both real and imaginary events, and she wasn't sure if she should call Lucy or Jade to get ideas from them for her next chapter. As much as she loved writing about her and Bryan, their romance story seemed to be at a standstill at this point since things were going smoothly for them and romance stories mostly thrived more on…

Her blood boiled with anger each time she remembered how Lucy had played her for a fool and she had totally fallen for it. She wished more than anything that she could deal with Lucy and teach her a lesson, but unfortunately, she couldn't do anything about it right now. She was ill not stupid. And as much as she hated Lucy and wanted to make her pay for the silly stunt she had pulled earlier, she had come too far up in her life to lose everything because of Janet's…

"I'm alright. I was just about to call you," Lucy said as she stood from there and approached the guest bedroom which she had gone into the other time to use the restroom. "Good then! I'm at the office right now and I need to understand what you said earlier. What did you mean when you said that person was Harry's mom?" Tom asked curiously. "Things are a lot more complicated than we thought. Harry's mom isn't dead. She abandoned them days after giving birth to Harry. Aaron…

"Not a coincidence," she dropped another. "Coincidence," she dropped another. "Not a coincidence," she dropped the last paper and sighed as she got off the bed, and began pacing around the bedroom. Even though she was supposed to be focusing on preparing for the court case against the Legion cartel, she couldn't seem to shake off this feeling in her guts that it wasn't a coincidence that Candace looked so identical to Harry's mother. Regardless of what…

The only thing that kept ringing in Tom's head was Lucy's statement. "That person is Harry's biological mom!" Harry, who had thought his mother was dead all these years and had always spoken so fondly of her was in for a rude shock when he finds out that his mother had been alive this whole time. Then what about the birthday gifts Aaron had kept presenting to Harry all those years claiming they were from his mother? Did that mean those gifts had really been from…
