“You better call me when you guys get there!” I grin as I hug Khala and then Saara.

While Saara grins back, Khala squints her eyes and looks at me closely.

“Have you been crying?”

I stiffen but recover quickly. I can’t afford to slip up. Khala is very sharp.

“Yeah,” I admit. “The manuscript I’m working on is angsty. I cried a lot.”

Immediately, Khala’s eyes soften and she caresses my hair away from my face. Giving her a little truth and a little lie always works.

“I wish you would have come with us, beta.”

I smile, putting my hand hers—the one palming my cheek.

“I wish I could, too, Khala. I’ll visit you soon.”

“Okay.” She nods before glancing at her wristwatch. “We should get going.”

“All good now?” Saara whispers in my ear when we hug.

My arms around her tighten and I nod against her.

“Yeah,” I say, blushing a little under her knowing gaze.

“Take care of yourself and text me, okay?” She squeezes me before taking a step back.

“You too. Relax and take time out for yourself.” I smile.

“Ready to go?” I turn towards Olly, looking away from Saara’s car almost disappearing on the street a few minutes later.

“Yeah.” I smile at him.

“Get in, princess.” Oliver grins, opening the passenger’s door of the black SUV.

I can’t help but chuckle as I get into the vehicle. “Why thank you, sir.”

Due to the traffic, it takes a good few minutes to reach William’s home. When we drive into the driveway, I can’t help but notice the expensive Audi parked beside the parking SUV.

“Maybe someone’s over,” I say to myself as I get out of the vehicle, pulling my tote bag out behind me.

“You really do look like you’ve been crying.” Olly frowns as he looks down at me. “Did Mr. William do something?”

“It’s been fixed.” I hand the concerned-looking man a smile before motioning towards the front door.

“Let’s go?”

Oliver nods. “Yeah, let’s go.”

The house is quiet, just as it always is. The busy housekeepers turn to give me an awkward smile as I pass them, and I suddenly begin to wonder what’s wrong.

“Hey, what’s up?” I whisper-ask Ren when we run into him.

“Oh, girl, wait till you see it.” Ren rolls his eyes and then turns back to taking the two used cups into the kitchen.

The muffled sounds begin sounding clearer the closer I get to the living room.

I see her as soon as I enter the living room. Her beautiful black hair is shining against her white jade-like skin, her eyes dazzling as she looks up at the man sitting beside her with a laptop on his lap. My eyes slowly move to the arm she has hooked around his before moving up to the girl’s face again.

Of course, I remember her. I’ve seen her before. She still looks just as beautiful as she looked then. She still looks just as in love as she did then.

Cecelia.

Just then, William lifts his head up as if sensing company and his eyes immediately find mine. I give him a small smile, completely missing the hardness in those dark orbs, then he stands up.
