I'm unpacking my bags when Ashley walked in with Drake behind her, "Are you okay being alone here?"
"Of course, I'm used to it. I lived alone, Ash." She looked confused. "Where's your father?"
I deeply inhaled and exhaled. "Drake, can you leave us for a moment?"
"Sure." I faced Ashley after Drake was gone. "You know that the Grant provided all my needs for school." She nodded, I added, "But they also given me my own flat. Because I needed to be away from my dad, Ash, he was addicted to alcohol and a drug user."
"But why do you kept it from me? And the house I dropped you, it is your real house , right?" I nodded. "There's no particular reason for hiding it. I don't want you to get worried about me.. and I bet you're clueless about my relationship with Carter and Alexander."
"I guess." I hold her hands, "I was paid to keep Alexander stay out of troubles.. and at first, I was Carter's girlfriend because I'm trying to save my dad. But my feelings for Carter changed.. I.. I learned to love him. And now, I don't know what's going on with him. Suddenly he started to change. And I have to tell you another secret.. Evan Regalia is my half brother and cousin."
"What? Evan? The son of the modelling company owner that I'm working at? How come?"
I walked to the window, "Dad had an affair with my mom's sister. Before he and my mom married, dad got Evan.. I found out before Carter graduated."
"My God, Moe. I didn't know I'm sorry. What kind of friend am I?" I shook my head. "It's okay.. You are clueless about as well."
"How are things between you and Evan?"
"We're cool.."
"And Carter?" I was taken aback for a moment but there is no use on hiding my pain, especially with Ashley. "We doesn't have any communication since last two months. And people are making false statement about my friendship with Alexander."
"And what are you planning now? Are you going to keep hoping for Carter?"
"Yeah.. I love him too damn much to let go. And I trust him."
Ashley gave me a hug, "Let's forget this heartache. Just come with us.. Where going for a drive around Monte Carlo."
"Sorry but I have other plans."
"Okay, but call me if you need anything." She smiled.
"Oh you bet I will. Ha ha." I jokingly laughed, "Just kidding. Off you go.." I pushed her out.
After unpacking, I grabbed my purse and walk around the city. I was buying myself a cup of brewed coffee when a man paid for me. "I'm Tyler James. You caught my attention I hope you don't mind if I offered you a seat."
"I should decline. If this is your way on hitting on girls, I guess I'll give this back to you. I'm not interested so leave me alone." I walked away. People should really know when to stop meddling on someone's business.
My anger is fuming out of me. I can't believe there are people like them loitering around here. Players. Oh how I hate them. I pulled out my phone and tried calling Carter but when I turned to the next corner, I can't believe what my eyes is witnessing.
It was Carter looking at a woman with the same adoration that he gave me when we're so in love with each other.. might I say, used to be.
"Carter.."
He looked surprised by my presence. I looked at his woman and I realized that she's not just an ordinary woman but she was, Megan Strauss. A famous Model.
I couldn't believe he'll did that to me.. I trusted him..
