Normal POV.

Years has passed since the last time Kamri saw Calvin. After the incident at the park and after Calvin cleared out that everything between them was just friendship nothing more and nothing less. Kamri distant herself from Calvin. The last news he had about him was Calvin was preparing for his wedding day which torn her heart even more. On the other hand,

She focused herself on her job and putting up with Blake's character. She tried to be happy amidst her broken heart.Meanwhile, Ice was having a trouble with May. May continued to bug her at all times. She found it scary and overwhelming. Luckily, Teta was always there. Ice planned to unveil the truth about her and May to Kamri but she didnt have the nerve to tell it to her bestfriend. Each day was like a torturous event for her. But...

."Good morning, Ms. Ice" Teta greeted Ice with a big smile.

"Hi, morning. You are so early to be here.

" Ice replied while checking the ingredients in the pantry.

"Hmmm... I'm a bit worried about you." Teta muttered.

"Why so?" She laughed.

 "Recently, I've seen May roaming close to the cafe. Is she bothering you?" She is just a pain in the neck, isnt she?" Teta groaned. He was such a nice guy caring for her boss or did it show any romantic gesture?Ice shrugged her shoulder and telling Teta not to worry about her. She was big enough and mature enough to handle the situation and nothing to worry much. Ice tried to act and look tough in front of Teta but Teta didnt seem to buy it. And the day started to go by.

Meamwhile, Kamri was preparing for an important event in the company. It was a year-end party for the company and she had to coordinate with the committee in charge.She ran to and fro checking whether everything was organized. Entering the elevator, she met May.

 "Hi May. How is it going? I havent seen you for quite a long. I heard you were dispatched to Hawaii." Kamri said.

" Yeah. " May replied but she looked away right away avoiding Kamri's gaze.Since Kamri didnt have much time to chitchat with her, she just dugged in to the documents with her. She had to make sure that everything was organized for the event because she also wanted to have a rest after all of this.

'Hmmm', May muttered. ' yeah, I was in Hawaii. ' She lied. Well in fact, she was just there around. Planning things for Ice. She was totally into that woman. She had a lot of plans on how to get that woman even if it took force. She glanced back at Kamri.

'Hmmm', how about you? How is everything going with you? ' she started.Kamri just shrugged and pouted.

'Nothing is new at all. You know, same shit different day. Papers, meetings here and there. Wanna kick the ass of our boss sometimes.' She chuckled.

'Well, it totally doesnt change at all.' May snorted.The door of the elevator opened.

'Well, May dear, see you around.' Kamri bid her goodbye and stepped out of the elevator leaving May all by herself.Little didnt she know that the latter was planning her demise against the people around her beloved Ice Collins. She would do anything to get hee by hook or by crook.

Kamri's POV

A week prior to the christmas eve, everybody was so busy for the upcoming christmas eve ball to be held in the rooftop.I was so busy checking the committees if they were done with everything. My bestfriend, Ice , was selected by Blake to cater the desserts. I was so overwhelmed by this and of course, I could be with my bestfriend at the party and I wouldnt feel bored.I couldnt ignore the heavy feeling whenever I entered Blake's office. I hated to see that guy. 

"Oh! Who's coming? My dear assistant is here. Is that how you greet your beloved boss?" He was sarcastically mocking. This guy never failed to creep in my nerves.

"It is my pleasure monsieur to see you again. Here is the list of things you need to check up." I bowed and handed at him the documents. Well, I knew also how to tick him off.He just hissed and took the documents from my hand and shooed me away. Godammnit. I really wanted to skin this guy alive.

*******

Party Day!Wow. The rooftop looked splended. There was a gazebo built in the middle decorated by lots of flowers and lights. There was a band present as well playing soft christmas music. It was indeed so perfect.

"Kamri." I heard Ice calling for me. She was at the corner surpervising the gigantic christmas cake. 

"Wow. This one is huge! I bet this one is delicious. Dont forget to wrap some takeaway later, okay? " I said jokingly at her but in fact, I meant it. 

"No prob." She smiled. Her assistant, Teta, was also there. I could sense that he liked my bestfriend. Well, he wasnt bad. He was perfect for my bestfriend.Suddenly, I caught May staring at us. She looked restless and nervous. I wondered what had gotten into her.

"Kamri, look. There is someone wants to see you." Ice pointed her fingers toward the gazebo. It was Trevor and Blake. The boy was in his father's arms. He tried to wriggle and dashed towards me.

"Kamri... kamri... I missed you." He gave me some smoochie kiss and I kissed him in return.

"I miss you little one." I poked his forehead. Blake was towering us. He was wearing a gray suit which complemented his eyes and hair and his whole damn physique.If I didnt hate this man's guts, I would throw myself on him but well, I hated him.Blake took his son's hand and blended with the guests. Blake's family was there. So many people were here present. I needed also to enjoy the night not thinkjng about the stressed given by my stupid moronic boss.I saw May again. She seemed so restless.

"Hey, are you okay?" She fidgeted when she heard my voice.

"Who's that guy with your bestfriend?" She shyly asked.

"Ahhh, you mean that guy?" I pointed my fingers towards Teta and Ice laughing at each other.

"I think they will be a couple soon." I proudly announced. May tensed up again but well, she must have been curious. I left her post and checked that everything was okay. The night was getting deeper. My coworkers and guests were dancing on the floor. Suddenly, a whisper in my ear brought me back to my sense.

"Don't do that again" I hissed turning my back.

"Chee. What are you doing? Are you supposed to enjoy the party? Look at you. " Blake said tapping my head. The night is s young you know. Enjoy or come dance with me." He pulled me but I tried to resist. He grabbed my hand and he placed his left hand to my hips and swayed me with the music. Shit. I hated this feeling that was somersaulting in my stomach. I wish I could dance with him over and over again but I despised this man. So did he. I pushed him aside and left the dance floor. Then again I saw May approaching Ice and Teta.This time, I felt something was wrong. Blake was calling my name but I just shrugged it off.Then, at a heartbeat, May pulled a gun and pointed it towards Ice."Nobody can have you! You are mine!"A defeaning shotgun echoed and halted the music. All I could remember that everything went dizzy and turned black and I heard Blake was screaming my name.
