– Drex Drane –

I gasped, loudly.

“What?!”

No.

No no no no no.

Shit, no!

“Lisa, you can't do this to me.”

“It's not about you anymore.” She snapped, sharp enough for me to take a step back

I watched as her hand moved to her forehead, before dragging through her hair, then she stared back at me, and when she spoke, her tone held an emotion to it that made my heart squeeze.

“It's not about you. Or me. Or even our emotions, Drex,” she sighed. “This… This is all for Imogen.”

“What the heck?” I also

    I shrugged, eyes following her till she was out of sight.“I think it has something to do with her boyfriend.” I said, turning to him. “They haven't talked to each other for a month now.” Maybe he broke up with her, or maybe she sensed that he wanted to.Either way, I knew she'd be really down, so I made a mental note to send her a message sometime to let her know that I was here if she wanted to talk.“Is the boyfriend her child's dad?”I nodded. “They've been together for seven years already.”“Wow, that's a long time to date.”And it'd be worse if he ended that many years of relationship. Especially with Rick in the picture.I sighed. “So, do you know what the update is on Cassie? Have they found her yet?”His expression turned serious. “The cops haven't updated me yet, but I don't think so. They'd have called if they had.”My hand dragged through my hair. “What exactly is going on? I mean, she couldn't have gone far, right?” Did they check Trish's house? It was possible that she'd

    Sleep barely came.Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was Cassie.I wondered where she could be. What she was planning.But then Drex wrapped me in his warm embrace, and I allowed myself to seek comfort in the warmth of his presence till sleep took over.I woke up by six that morning. It was Saturday, which meant I didn't need to go to the office.At the moment, the last thing I felt like doing was to work. Not after everything that had happened.I was just grateful that Drex was here with me. And his name cleared.He was still asleep, which was understandable considering that he hadn't slept well in days.So, I slid down his arm, went to take a silent shower, then changed into a comfortable gown, before leaving to go wake Imogen up.“Is daddy still around?” That was the first thing she asked.“Yes, but he's really tired and needs sleep. You have to be silent, okay?” She nodded. “Okay, mummy.” I gave her cheek a peck, before helping her get ready for the day.We made breakfast t

    – Cassie Boe –When I saw in the news that Lisa had tricked me and I'd fallen right into her trap, my heart leapt.Especially the comments that followed her post.I didn't need anyone to tell me before I knew that the cops were coming for me any second.That was why I abandoned everything; my phone, clothes, car… every single thing, and left straight to a cab that drove me to David's house.“Aunt, help, I really don't want to go to jail.” I growled the second I walked into the building, heart slamming hard.She was holding a frame of Rachel's baby picture which was why she flinched at my sight, immediately dropping it on a table, before moving over with furrowed brows. “Cassie.”“I'm in trouble. Aunt, I'm in big trouble.”“Yes, I saw the stupid thing you did.” She shook her head. “How could you be so careless? It's like you've learned nothing from me.”“I didn't know. I didn't know she was recording.” My breath came out shaky. “If I had known, I'd never have said a thing. I'd never h

    “Come on, baby… let's shower together.” He whispered against my ears, my lips pressing as the deepness in his tone sent shivers down my spine.His tone reeked of sex, and although I knew he really should be resting, and I should be making sure of that… a part of me leaned into his touch.I didn't even realize how much I'd missed sex until I felt his erection. That sent hot wetness trailing down my middles.“Drex.” I managed to mutter, but didn't argue when he rested his hand on my waist, and the two of us walked to my room.Drex locked the door behind me, then gently pressed my back against it as he claimed my lips, harder this time.I craned my neck up, and our tongues danced around each other. Drex began with stealing the little breath I had left, but I didn't argue.My hand was already doing wonders, sliding into his shirt and moving up his chest till I was feeling those broad chest I had to sleep without.Fuck, I missed them.He worked on the buttons of my shirt, and broke the kis

    He flashed me a lazy smile. “Couldn't sleep, and I thought you might be hungry, so…”So he decided to cook just hours after returning from what was probably the most frustrating phase for him? Was that even normal?“Daddy!” Imogen wrapped her arms around his neck. “Where were you? You didn't come pick me up from school, and I missed you very very much.”“I'm so sorry, dear. I really wanted to come over, I just had to take care of something else first.” He sounded genuinely apologetic, while she pouted.“I missed you so much.”“I missed you way more.” He pressed a kiss on the side of her head. “After we eat, I promise to make up for the time I was away. We can do whatever it is you want.”She gasped, clearly getting excited again. “Really?”“Yes—”“No.” I cut him off, stepping closer. “I can't emphasize more than enough how you shouldn't be doing anything that isn't sleeping. You've had a long day, Drex, you need to relax your brain.”He stared at me for a second, before sneaking an ar

    The cops accepted it.I couldn't believe my ears when I got a call that Drex was released.The video had spread like wildfire all over the internet, and from the comments it received, I knew Drex's name had been cleared.Everyone attacked Cassie now, and considering that she'd committed a big crime, I knew she was going to be arrested.None of the relief and satisfaction I felt was able to compare with the extreme excitement that welled up my chest the moment I knew Drex had been released.I didn't waste a moment, before driving straight to the police station.The media had flooded the place, and they tried to question me as I left my car, but I barely acknowledged them, and instead rushed into the building.Standing in the distance was him… my boyfriend. No, my husband.He was filling some kind of form or something, I had no idea, but as I walked in, he raised his head and a weary smile dragged up his lips.“Drex.” Seeing him made something well up my chest.These few days without h
