Standing by the window of his office, Tom waited for Lucy to come in so that he could finally reveal the truth to her about who he truly was. He didn't want to keep lying to her or feeling guilty about it anymore. "What are you doing here?" Lucy asked in alarm when she walked into the CEO's office and saw Tom standing by the window. "Who let you in here? Come with me, you should leave now before he comes in and sees you here. He can be really mean," Lucy said reaching out to grab his hand, but Tom…-

Listening to the silence at the other end of the line, Tom could tell that she had finally processed what he had said, "Lu? Are you still there?" He called softly, as he waited to hear her thoughts on his confession. Lucy cleared her throat and licked her lips which were suddenly feeling very dry now, "Yeah. I'm still here," she said, gulping softly while her heart continued to race wildly. What was she going to say to him? This whole thing was very confusing for her. She loved seeing him, talking to…

The private investigator opened his eyes and moaned when he felt a piercing pain on the right side of his head. He shut his eyes to block the pain as he tried to remember what had happened. The last thing he remembered was talking to Mrs. Miller on the phone, and then going to check who was knocking on his door. His eyes snapped open, and he gasped in surprise when someone poured water on his face, "You weren't brought here to sleep," A cold deep male voice growled at him. "Who are you? What do you…

The moment Lucy stepped into her bedroom, she collapsed on her bed and shut her eyes. She was exhausted. Perhaps it was because of the time she had spent in the company of her boss, or maybe she was just mentally exhausted after revisiting her past and sharing part of her experience with Tom. She needed to confront the past that she had tried so hard to keep locked up for years. She needed to face everything that had happened. That way she wouldn't have to faint or go into shock merely by thinking about…

Jade lay on her bed, curled up in a ball with her blanket over her head as she tried to stop the shudders that were going through her body. She had called in sick at work as she was still too shaken to step out of her house. Since the police left a while ago, she had become scared and jumpy over every little sound she heard, despite the fact that they had assured her that the blood she had seen was pig blood. She had received a call from an unknown line just some minutes after the police left, and…

Sonia's face lit up with a bright smile at his words, "Is my hearing poor? Or did you just forget to include a please in your request?" Sonia asked, making Bryan grin as he stopped tickling her. "I guess your hearing is poor, cause I actually said, could you please move back into this bedroom? How could you not have heard that?" Bryan asked incredulously making Sonia giggle merrily. "Yeah. I thought I heard that," Sonia said with a satisfied smile. The previous night when he had been about to leave…

"Cut!" The producer shouted, clapping his hands in satisfaction, "You both make a fantastic pair!" He said with an approving smile as he looked from Bryan to Sonia. "This doesn't even look like a commercial. I felt like I was watching a movie," A member of the camera crew observed with a wide smile, and the others nodded in agreement, while Bryan's gaze remained locked on Sonia as he moved from the couch onto the wheelchair. "We need to take a break before we continue," Bryan announced moving his…

Big brother? Did she just say she was glad to have a big brother like him? Tom asked himself, not knowing whether to be amused by the idea, happy that she wasn't interested in her wealthy boss, or feel offended that was brotherzoning him already. If only she knew that this big brother had been responsible for all her moans last night, Tom thought in amusement as he looked at her. "Make no mistake, Lucinda. I have just one baby sister, and her name is Jade Hank," Tom said, every trace of humor gone from…

"Are you expecting a call from someone?" Tom asked Lucy without sparing her a glance while keeping his gaze on the road as he drove the car. Lucy shook her head, "No. Why?" Lucy denied too quickly as she slipped her phone inside her handbag and turned to look at him. She couldn't really understand why she was waiting to hear from Tom, but she was. He had disappeared all of a sudden and she hated to admit that this somehow bothered her. Maybe if Sonia had taken her call or returned her call, she would…

After her phone call with her parents, Lucy closed her eyes and facepalmed herself. Thomas Hank? Really? Of every other name to mention why did she choose to lie that she was dating her boss? Now they expected her to attend the wedding with her wealthy boyfriend. Perhaps she could claim that it was over between them a few days before the wedding? Her mind flashed to Tom who seemed to have a couple of similarities with her boss. Maybe he could pretend to be her boss? Lucy quickly shook her head to discard…
