“We both have flaws, Hope. What you did the last day was foolish. If not for this pendant, Alaric had killed you,” Loganpronounced. “I don’t know how | would have survived then,” he muttered. He intertwined their fingers. “Clifton is looking for them.As soon as we get a track of them, I'll inform you.”
Hope hummed and moved closer to him. She rested her head on his shoulder. “I promise | won't do things like this anymore. Thephone you gave me carried a lot of memories inside it. But they took it away with them. | don’t know whether Alaric is my uncle ornot. He used my mom’s name to make me trust him,” she murmured.
“Every truth will come out, Hope, Logan stated. “There’s something | always wished to tell you for a long time.” He caressed herhair and brushed his fingers with hers.
“What is it?” Hope queried.
“Olivia gave me the comfort when | lost my parents. She did what | found right. | never actually bothered what she desired.Lately, | have thought a lot about it. That’s when | realized, she was just like me and two like poles can never attract each other.”

The air reached their lungs as soon as they parted their mouths. Logan rested his head. against Hope’s and tenderly stroked herneck. A smile emerged on his lip as he felt relieved to have her by his side.
Ryan stood up from his seat and put on his blazer as he told his secretary he would leave now. Reaching the parking lot, heopened his car’s door when a familiar figure showed his presence to him.
“Natasha,” Ryan whispered and looked in her direction. “What do you want?” he asked, frowning at her.“Are you still angry at me for what | did?” Natasha asked.Ryan chuckled to hear her. “You think after what you did, | would worship you,” he laughed and rubbed his forehead.
“Well, whatever happened wasn’t in my hands. You know this well. You weren't ready to give me the time | wanted,” Natashasaid.
“Natasha, will you stop glorifying the act of your cheating?” Roaxana’s voicereverberated in the parking lot and Natasha turned around to know who this womanwas.
Roaxana walked toward Ryan and stood in front of him. “Why don’t you apologize for what you did instead of showing yourself agreat person?” she arched an eyebrow at him.
Natasha opened her mouth to speak, but Roaxana didn’t let her. “Ryan was quite kind to you. If | would be in his shoes, | hadmade sure to make you suffer along with your idiot. boyfriend,” she stated. “Don’t even open your mouth because if you do, I'llslap you.”
Nobody ever made Natasha feel this humiliated. It was worse than what Hope did to her. She watched them getting in the carand wondered if they both had something going on.
Roaxana drove as fast she could, overtaking the cars ahead of them.“You should slow down,” Ryan said.
Roaxana listened to him and decelerate the car after some time. She pulled the car in the parking lot of the apartment building,where Ryan lived and ran her fingers

Roaxana glanced at him. “You think | did wrong. She cheated on you. She was lucky, | didn’t pull her eyes out, she mutteredwhile gritting her teeth.
Ryan ended up smiling to hear her comments. “You did nothing wrong. Thanks for speaking up on my behalf. | couldn’t havebeen this rude to her, but you did right,” he stated, praising the step she took.
Roaxana smiled and told him they were friends, so she could at least do that for him.“Friends?” Ryan arched his eyebrow.
“Aren't we? | have not broken my friendship with you yet,” Roaxana clarified to him.“What were you doing in my company? Didn't | tell you to leave?” Ryan asked her.“Ah, I-I thought to wait for you,” Roaxana stated.
“How long did you wait?”
“Why? Are you worried that I’m hungry?” she questioned him. And her stomach growled in this entire conversation. She coveredher belly using her hands and told him it was nothing.
“Let's go to my apartment. I'll cook for us,” Ryan said and exited the car. Roaxana was stunned to hear him and followed him tohis apartment. She removed her heels and wore the slippers upon entering his house.
“You talked to me in such a calming tone after a long time,” Roaxana asserted.
“I'm sorry for hurting you all this time. Do you want to freshen up? You can use the washroom. I'll cook somethin

“Hmm. I'd like to wash my face,” she said.
“Okay. Then, I'll see you in the kitchen,” Ryan stated.
“Sure.” Roaxana went to the washroom while Ryan headed to the kitchen. He cooked white sauce pasta for them, which readiedsoon. While serving it on the plate, Roaxana came there and praised him for his cooking skills.

“Hmm. | did. But why do you ask?”
“Nothing.” Ryan didn’t wish to tell her how Isaac talked to him on the phone and told him to not hurt Roaxana. He even hadasked Ryan to stay away from Roaxana.
“Something has happened. Tell me,” Roaxana urged.
“Nothing has happened. | guessed it because you should have been with Isaac at this. hour,” Ryan asserted, thus not letting herdoubt him.
