Abbie blushed. "You shouldn't have told me." She blushed more. "Most of the neighbors are around and are in for a party.""Sounds interesting.""I'm going to get the list of ingredients available. I'll be back," Abbie said and left again.Landon punched Ryan's arm. "Why did you have to remind her of my imaginary ex girlfriend?" "You told her I was going to propose to someone the other day.""Trust me when I say I'm paying you back." He stood up and went inside."Did you just get angry over that nonsense?" "Yeah and I'm going to tell my mom about it. She might seem like she doesn't care but if she ever heard someone treat me like you do, you'll get a court summons." "Great, right?” Ryan chuckled.Later in the evening, almost everyone in the compound gathered around the table in the center of the compound. The lights from the apartments lit up the place."Let's play a game," a girl said.<

"You could have at least given me a heads up first, Anderson!" "It was meant to be a surprise," Anderson said."You know what I wanted to tell you when I asked that we meet? I wanted to tell you I'm no longer in love with you."Anderson walked closer to her. "Love is not necessary for us to get married. Not as if I loved you all these years."The bag Stephanie was holding fell from her hand. Not knowing what the two were talking about, there were cheers from the crowd."What did you just say?" Stephanie asked, her lips trembling."You heard me right. I haven't loved you for half a second."Stephanie tried to move back from him but he grabbed her closer to himself."You can't back out now. Lot of television stations are here with reporters to cover the proposal," Anderson said.Stephanie looked around. There were a lot of cameras. She could read the names of about four different television sta

She quickly got on her feet. She looked around. What's a spy camera doing here? Her eyes caught another spy camera behind the plate holder.She walked out of the kitchen. Under the dining table was another one.She got up and saw another one beside the bulb.By the time she had walked around the whole house, she had seen more than seventeen spy cameras.Who the hell planted spy cameras in the house?****Landon laughed again. "Ryan?" Ryan was counting it. It was the sixty-seventh time Landon would laugh and call his name like that since he came back from the place he said that shit about not divorcing Stephanie."Ryan?" "Yes. This is me. Do I look strange?""Are you drunk?" Ryan shook his head no.Landon stood up and sat beside Ryan. He sniffed his clothes for some moment. "You don't smell like you're drunk.""I had no choice, man. That was the only way I

Ryan glanced at her. “That's what I said.”“I'm not going. I'd rather sleep on the road than to go to your girlfriend’s house. That will make us look pitiful!” “Just riding in this car is pitiful enough,” Cathy muttered.“Ryan, don't listen to her, just take us anywhere. I'm too tired to reject any help at the moment,” Mrs Hill said.Ryan started to drive, but Stephanie shook her head. “You seriously can't take me to Brenda's house, Ryan. How'd you feel if you were in my shoes? For goodness sake, Ryan, she is your girlfriend.”“She's my sister.” For a few seconds there was total silence in the car. “You…what…” Stephanie stuttered.“You're not kidding, Ryan?” Stewart asked.“Do I have any need to do that?” “If Brenda Lopez is your sister, then…you're…you're Ryan Lopez?!” Mrs Hill fainted. Stephanie opened her mouth to talk but no words came out. Ryan is Ryan Lop

Stewart shook his head. “It can't be possible.”Ryan went to the kitchen where he got a cup of water. He poured it on Mrs Hill. This is really not the time to deal with an unconscious person. “Stephanie, you know Anderson, right? You know he isn't a bad person, right?” Stewart asked, looking as pale as his sisters and mother.“There are a lot of things we didn't know about Anderson,” Stephanie said.“You're not giving ist another fucking, surprise, right? I have handled enough surprises,” Stewart said.“First, Anderson Harris is a thirty years old man married with two kids. He is an orphan and his father doesn't have a school in Finland like he made us believe. He is a Mafia Lord—”“Stop…” Mrs Hill pleaded. “Anderson can't be a Mafia Lord. He can't…” Mrs Hill shook her head, unable to complete her sentence.Cathy increased the volume of her tears. Ryan took another stick and lit it. For the next few hours, no
