Kalani was gone

Kalani was gone. Nobody ever saw her or heard from her again.

I had turned into the enemy of Kalani's friends overnight. Anna-Leigh didn't even want to see me again and Gia wouldn't stop calling me names--I wouldn't blame her though, I'd have done the same if I were in her shoes. Camari and Danica didn't even want to have anything to do with me again.

Andre had tried to calm Anna-Leigh down, but I guess they both weren't a thing any longer. I'd asked Andre if he'd heard from her and he would just change the topic instantly. I was to be blamed for virtually everything because I'd been at fault.

Anastasia approached me months ago with the useless deal and I had actually taken the whole thing with levity because I didn't believe she was going to go as far as posting the pictures of the signed documents from years ago on her social media.

Jeremy Calabasas, Anastasia Calabasas and I had an agreement and the deal was that as long as I paid back the loan with the specified interest, then they were all going to keep their mouths shut and it would be on record that no transaction ever happened. And here Anastasia was over six years later. I honestly didn't know whether it was her that came out with the whole 'exposure theory' or her dad.

They had actually committed an offense punishable by the law because it was an agreement and an agreement remains an agreement as long as the two parties involved had come to unanimity.

I dated Anastasia Calabasas back in college, but the main reason I did that was because I wanted a valid reason to be able to request for the loan. It would have been crazy of me to have just visited her father one day. We both had to have a thing in order for me to get the money.

The fact that I paid back and she still came out to release the documents years later was what still amused me. Everyone had tagged me as a liar simply because I never mentioned that I took a loan from the Calabasas' in order to start up Dayton, but the crazy thing that still blew me off was the fact that the company had made so much profit over the last couple of weeks than it had made in months.

The public had wanted me to come out and address the whole situation, but I'd kept mute because I felt like it was pointless. Even if I'd decided to address it, what was I going to say. 'I'm usually a private person and I don't want people in my business' or 'I'm sorry, I just wanted everyone to work hard.' Blame that on crazy shit.

My plan was to not address the situation because there'd been a million things that had been on my mind and Kalani was topping the list. I'd paid so much money in order for her search to take place, but she was still no where to be found. I had a feeling that her friends actually knew her location, but because of what she'd gone through, they weren't willing to say anything.

I honestly wouldn't blame Kalani for leaving because I would have done the same if I were to be in her shoes. I kept replaying the scene of the last time I saw her before she left. I'd been called a lot of names, but nothing hurt me like the things she'd said on that day. I wished she had just calmed down for a bit to listen to what I had to say. But, which sane thinking lady would hear all that about the man she was with and still stick around.
