Was it a dream or did she really have sex with Tom? That was the first question on Lucy's mind when she opened her eyes. Lucy's heart skipped a beat when she opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar environment. Her brows pulled together in a frown when she perceived the familiar smell of antiseptic, and she quickly sat up to look around her. A hospital? What was she doing in a hospital? Why did Tom bring her here? Perhaps he thought she was crazy after hearing all she had told him? Oh, shit! She had…-

Once Jade hung up the call, Harry quickly dialed Tom's number. He wasted no time in considering her request to not tell her brother about what was happening with her. He had heard the fear in her voice, and he owed it to his best friend to not keep something that concerned his sibling's wellbeing from him. "Hey! I was just about to call you," Tom said immediately he received Harry's call. He was in a cab going to his office as that was the only place he knew he would have the space he needed to…

Harry stepped out of the shower and picked a towel from the towel rail as he walked out of the bathroom. He dried his short mop of black hair using the towel, not minding the trail of water he left in his wake as he went to his bedside to pick up his phone which he had heard ringing immediately he stepped into the shower. Seeing he had missed two calls from the same unknown number, he narrowed his eyes as he tried to figure out who it possibly was. Jade Hank. She was the only one whose call he was…

"Judging by all you have said, she is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. She is still in psychologic shock," The doctor informed Tom, who was seated opposite him, staring at him without giving away his emotions. Although Tom hadn't given him the details of the nature of Lucy's trauma, he had told the doctor that Lucy had been sharing a traumatic experience with him when she suddenly froze and fainted, "So what can be done?" Tom asked, his concern evident in his tone. "Well, for starters…

Lucy drew in a shaky breath, "I tried not to leave my house except it was absolutely necessary, like going to school. I avoided Sonia's house or anywhere else I might easily run into him..." "You didn't tell your parents about it?" Tom asked with a frown. "I wanted to, but what was I supposed to tell them? I just couldn't bring myself to tell them about it," Lucy said with a shake of her head. "And they didn't notice the changes in you? Like you not wanting to go out and stuff?" Tom asked since he…

Lucy had a distant look in her eyes as she continued her story. She sat with her legs drawn up on the couch in a way that the soles of her feet were balanced on the couch while both knees were drawn up to almost her chin level as she wrapped both arms around her legs in a protective gesture. "At first I wanted to confront him immediately I heard from the guys, but Sonia stopped me. She thought there was more to it all, and that something wasn't right about the whole story. So she tried to calm me, and…

Tom tried not to let his surprise show on his face on hearing her sudden confession. She killed someone? Bryan had said Sonia's half-brother had committed suicide because of Lucy, he hadn't mentioned anything about Lucy murdering anyone, so what was she talking about? On second thought he realized that it was possible for Sonia to withhold such information from Bryan. There was no way she could have possibly told Bryan that her best friend had murdered her half-brother. It wouldn't make sense. Or perhaps…

Tom's eyes snapped open when he heard Lucy making whimpering sounds in her sleep. He quickly reached out to turn on the bedside lamp when he felt her shudder in her sleep. He was surprised to see the beads of sweat that coated her forehead despite the coolness of the bedroom. "Lu?" He called out softly as he tapped her, trying to wake her up, but Lucy shook her head and raised her hands to her face in a protective gesture that made Tom's brows pull together in a concerned frown. What was she dreaming…

What did she want from him? Love? Companionship? Friendship? She definitely couldn't tell him she wanted any of those. Why was he asking anyway? It wasn't like he was going to offer it to her just because she says she wants that. He might even make fun of her if she told him she was beginning to develop feelings for him, she thought with a sigh when she remembered the discussion they had some days back about who was going to fall in love with the other first. "I don't want anything from you. I'm just…

Women! He could never really understand them, Bryan sighed as he returned to his room. What did he say wrong now? He had just been trying to make peace with her and to find out and resolve whatever had gotten her upset, so why was she mad at him. She hadn't even responded to his question before slamming the door in his face. How rude! He thought with a scowl. Maybe it was best he just remained single and saved himself from the stress of getting involved with women. He was sure that single men often…
