Tom roused from sleep when he heard the sound of his doorbell. He turned to look at Bryan who was sleeping beside him. They were both still dressed in the suit they had worn the previous night. They had been too tired to take off the clothes when they got home. They had only managed to take off their coat, wigs and fake mustache. It was past four in the morning before both brothers had finally made it to Tom's apartment. Although they had both been very exhausted, they were satisfied with the progress…-

After Lucy's dad and Lucas had left for the hotel, and her mother had settled in for the night, Lucy went to the living room to join Sonia, "What's happening? You've been on the phone all evening," Lucy asked as she dropped on the couch beside Sonia who was scrolling through her phone with a glass of wine in front of her. Sonia looked at Lucy, and then let out a sigh as she handed her phone to her. Displayed on the screen was a news article with the caption, "FRAUD CELEBRITY COUPLE!!!" and attached to…

"Sup? What is going on? What are you doing here?" Tom asked the moment he stopped the car beside Bryan, and he got into the front seat of the car. "Are you asking that because you don't know that Sonia broke up with me and came here to be with Lucy?" Bryan asked, barely able to conceal his annoyance and frustration. "I've been trying to make sense of all that she said but it still doesn't make any sense to me. Does it make sense that she wants us to stay away from each other until everything is…

Once the best friends stopped crying and settled down on the couch, Lucy remembered what Tom had told her, and turned to look at Sonia, "Tom said you broke up with Bryan. Why did you do that?" Lucy asked in a concerned tone since she knew for a fact that Sonia was in love with him. "I just don't want him to get mixed up in this. He's an actor and his public image is important to his career," Sonia explained with a sigh. "Is that what he told you? What did he say when you asked for the breakup?" Lucy…

"Are you sure you don't want me to be here with you when your family arrives?" Tom asked Lucy when she kept trying to convince him to leave before the arrival of her parents and Lucas. "Yes. I'm very sure," Lucy assured him with a smile. Lucas had called to say their mother would be the only one staying with her in her apartment since it would be too small to accommodate them all. So her father and Lucas had decided to find a hotel closest to her apartment where they could lodge before coming down to…

As the private investigator organized the documents and pictures in front of him, he made up his mind that he was going to retire from his line of business after submitting the information to the dangerous men who had abducted him three days ago. He had done his findings on the men and had found out that they were members of the legion gang, and he didn't want to be involved with them in any way. They had given him only three days, and thankfully he had gotten all the information they needed. He was…

"Do you think perhaps the CEO heard what we said earlier?" One of the men in Lucy's unit who had been badmouthing Lucy earlier that morning asked his colleagues as they all sat together trying to put their heads together to find a way to do as Tom had ordered. "Or maybe her driver reported us?" The other male suggested. "It really does not make sense that he will ask us to do this! It's as if he is supporting her!" One of the ladies complained. "Is this important right now? Is this why you all…

After confirming from Tom that it was Sonia's family that was involved in this, he couldn't bring himself to stop her. She had said her half-brother had committed suicide and her parents blamed Lucy for it, so why was Lucy being accused of her half-brother's murder? Looking into her eyes, Bryan could tell that her mind was made up, "I will come with you." He offered instead. He could tell that she was going over to offer her best friend the needed comfort and support. Even though she liked to act…

While Sonia and Bryan were busy with their final shoot outdoor, her phone kept buzzing. They had all unanimously agreed to have the final shoot outdoors since Bryan's ankle had healed considerably and he could get on and off his wheelchair and walk short distances. The shoot was supposed to be done in several places. One scene at the beach, another at a Jewelry shop which he was endorsing, another at a game lounge and cinema, and the last at a restaurant where they would be wrapping it up. So they…
