"Who do you think leaked the information to the press?" Lucy asked Sonia after Amy had left, and they were both alone in Lucy's bedroom while her parents and Lucas were watching a movie in the living room. "It has to be one of Bryan's people unless someone overheard something from one of them and leaked the information," Sonia said thoughtfully. "I think Amy might have been right. What if Anita is actually behind all of this? The last time we were out together I told her that you were engaged to…-

Even though Tom had asked him to just focus on Jade's case and leave the company and Lucy's issue to him, Harry couldn't help being restless. He was bothered by all that was going on, especially since he was already involved in all of it. Somehow even though he wasn't very close to Lucy, he had come to become fond of teasing her, so his worry wasn't just because of his duty to Tom. Lucy was someone Tom was in love with, and Tom was his best friend. He stared blankly at the laptop screen in front of…

"Are you sure you will be fine? I mean you only just agreed to see a therapist after all these years, and all of a sudden you want to talk in front of the camera to people that don't care about you?" Lucy's mother asked in concern after Lucy finished sharing her plan with them. "I'm not seventeen anymore, mom. I already told you I can handle this. I will be okay," Lucy assured her with a smile. This was something she knew that she needed to do to eventually be free from the past, else it was going to…

Now that Bryan was left alone in the house after Tom had left to meet with Mr. Wyatt, and both Sonia and Lucy had gone to her apartment to speak with her family, Bryan decided to return his mother's and Jade's call. He dialed his mother's line first, and almost immediately the call connected as though she had been waiting for it, "Bryan Hank! Where have you been?" She asked in a scolding tone. "Is that what is most important to you right now, or you should be glad that I'm okay and didn't run off…

Although it was a Saturday morning, Amy walked into her office with a displeased look on her face as she joined four of her colleagues who were already gathered there and were waiting for her. "Why did you all have to keep ringing my line?" Amy asked in annoyance as she eyed them. The rest of them were still dressed in the clothes they had worn the previous day unlike her who was dressed in tennis shorts, an oversized polo t-shirt, and a pair of sneakers. Seeing the empty styrofoam cups of coffee on…

"What is going on? Are you both fighting again?" Lucy who had been on the phone with Lucas, asked Sonia as she returned to the room to see Bryan storming out. "No. It's not me he is mad at," Sonia assured Lucy with a slight frown as they both walked out of the bedroom following Bryan. "I don't think you should give them a call," Alicia said the moment Bryan walked into the living room, making it clear to him that his voice had been loud and they had all heard what he said. "I don't remember asking…

Inside the bedroom, Sonia lay on the bed with her head resting on Bryan's chest, while he patted her hair gently. "This feels like a dream," Sonia murmured, holding him close as if she was scared that he was going to disappear. "Aww, you're in love," Bryan said in a teasing tone, and Sonia giggled as she hit his arm playfully. "It's not funny!" Sonia chided him, and then she sat up to look into his face when she remembered that they weren't here on a vacation. Seeing the sudden seriousness in…

Once Tom opened the door, he was surprised to see Alicia standing there, "Good morning!" She greeted with a friendly smile, as she looked at him from head to toe, wondering why he was dressed that way so early on a Saturday morning. "Good morning. How may I help you?" He asked without returning her smile or bothering to invite her in. Although Lucy was still in his bedroom, and both Sonia and Bryan had gone into the next bedroom when they heard the sound of the doorbell, he didn't want Alicia inside his…

Neither Bryan nor Sonia said a word to each other as they both remained where they stood, staring at each other. Although they were both glad to see each other, they both looked at the other wearily. "You should be careful with your foot. That you're able to walk doesn't mean it is completely healed yet," Sonia said with concern, and Bryan raised a brow. "You don't have to worry about me. You lost that right when you broke up with me," Bryan reminded her as he went to sit on the couch. Sonia…

Lucy roused from sleep by the sound of Sonia's ringing tone. She couldn't believe that she had slept off on the couch. Her whole body ached due to the cramped position she had slept in. Lucy stood up and stretched out her body before it occured to her that Sonia wasn't in the living room. Where was Sonia? She wondered as she called out to Sonia, but didn't get a response. Her eyes fell on Sonia's phone which had resumed ringing again after the first disconnected call. She picked it up when she saw that…
