WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN HIGH SCHOOL***
“I love you, Lilian,” Mickey muttered.
Lilian stared at him without saying a word. She didn’t even know what to say.
“I know you don’t love me, but can I wait for you? I can wait as long as you love me back, just please don’t reject my love”
“Michael,” Lilian called softly.
Mickey smiled.
“This is the first time you’ll be calling me by my name,” he muttered.
“Why are you suddenly acting cool?” Lilian asked, trying to ease the tension that’s building between them.
“Am I?” He chuckled.
She nodded before biting her lips.
“This is so sudden, Michael. I’m really short of words right now” she muttered.
“Of course I understand, but I’ll be here waiting for you Lilian, anytime” he said.
She smiled gently at him before walking back to her seat.
Soon, some students started arriving in the class.
Jaime entered the class and he smiled when he saw the both of them in class.
“Hi, inlaw” he waved at Lilian.
Lilian chuckled before waving back.
He went to Mickey and sat beside him.
“Hey, dude” Mickey greeted him.
Jaime ignored him totally and placed his backpack on his chair.
“I’m sorry,” Mickey muttered after some time.
Jaime glanced at him.
“Like seriously, am I really your friend? How could you keep something like this from me?” He asked.
“Because I know she’s in love with you. I didn’t want to lose you both so I kept it from you” he said.
“Doesn’t that hurt? I mean, keeping your feelings to yourself, that $h|t hurts like hell” Jaime said.
“It hurts more than you ever think”
“So, have you talked it out with her?” Jaime asked.
“Yes, but I’m gonna wait for her to love me back” Mickey said.
Jaime smiled and held his shoulder.
“I got your back, dude,” he muttered.
“Thank you”
By now, the class was already filled as almost all the students were in class.
Wyatt sat in his seat, Jayden and Cole not far away from him.
Layla entered the class and all eyes fell on her.
? Layla??
? She looks so much beautiful now
? Where have she been? It’s been long since I saw her in school
? She’s smiling, isn’t that strange?
Wyatt smiled widely when his eyes settled on her.
Layla was walking towards him and he held his breath as she kept approaching him.
To his disappointment, she walked past him and stopped right at Jaime’s table.
“Hi, Jaime,” she smiled.
“You didn’t tell me you’ll be resuming today,” Jaime said, surprised.
Layla flung her hair to the back.
“The hospital was so boring, so I thought of coming back to school” she said.
She looked around the class and noticed the stares on her.
“d@mn, this school is so creepy. Why are they all staring at me?” She muttered.
Mickey nudged Jaime slightly.
“What’s with her? She’s acting different” he muttered.
Jaime smiled.
“Just accept it the way you see it” he said.
“Where’s my seat?” Layla asked.
“Nevermind. I’ll just sit beside you” she said.
Mickey stared at her.
“Then I should leave?” He asked in surprise.
“I didn’t say anything,” she shrugged.
Jaime chuckled. He doesn’t know why but he found the new Layla more interesting.

DEL ROSA’S MANSION***
“We’ll be attending an event tonight, and I’m sure Charles will be there,” Alberto said.
“This is our chance, we must use it well to destroy Charles”
“How?” Stephanie asked.
Alberto smirked.
“His girlfriend,” he said.
Stephanie creased her brow before her lips curved up in a smile.
“I’ll be needing your help,” Alberto said.
“I’m more than ready, Alberto,” she said.
As long as it’s going to separate Charles from his girlfriend, then she’s more than ready.

ROGER’S RESIDENCE***
Mrs. Rogers entered the room and her eyes fell on her husband’s frames which were hanging on the walls.
Slowly, she walked towards it and picked a frame before smashing it to the floor.
“Arghhhh!!!” She screamed.
She picked another one and smashed it to the floor.
May rushed in looking frightened.
“Madam!” She shouted.
Mrs. Rogers kept smashing the frames on the ground, the glasses shattering into pieces.
It’s time for her to let go of the past and focus on her daughter. Every memory about her husband, she made sure to destroy them.
Now, she needs to win her daughter’s heart back.

MONTERIO’S INVESTMENT***
Jace wandered around the company, his eyes searching all the females around.
“f-__-k, how do I find her now?” He asked himself.
“Should I ask Charles?” He quickly shook his head away.
Charles would definitely make fun of him.
“What about Hailey?” He smiled at that thought.
“Perfect!” He made to rush to the elevator when he bumped into someone.
He quickly caught her by the waist and the coffee in her hand spilled to the ground.
His eyes went wide when he saw the lady he was looking for right in his arms.
“Fate,” he smiled to himself.
Sunny opened her eyes and gasped when she saw herself in his arms. She thought she was going to fall to the ground.
“Thank you” she whispered.
She tried to move away from him but his hands tightened around her.
“Stay still for a moment” he muttered, his eyes turning to a wistful one.
He moved closer to her and pressed his lips on her own.
Sunny’s eyes went wide.
