“You actually took me to the water aquarium!” Hope was shocked as they both stood. outside the biggest aquarium of their
country.
“These are our tickets,” Logan said and showed them to her.
“When did you book them?” Hope queried. “You were so angry on me yesterday,” she murmured.
“| booked them in the morning,” Logan replied. “Let’s go in. He grasped her hand and took her inside. Spending more than hour
inside the aquarium, they exited it. Before making their way to the car, Hope took him to the park constructed within the premises
of the aquarium.
Under the shade of a giant tree, they both sit. The people were far from their sight and nobody was around them. “Logan,st
night | thought a lot about us. | realized |ck in. many things while trying to be a goodpanion,” she murmured and nced
at him.
“We both have ws, Hope. What you did thest day was foolish. If not for this pendant, ric had killed you,” Logan
pronounced. “I don’t know how | would have survived then,” he muttered. He intertwined their fingers. “Clifton is looking for them.
As soon as we get a track of them, I''ll inform you.”
Hope hummed and moved closer to him. She rested her head on his shoulder. “I promise | won''t do things like this anymore. The
phone you gave me carried a lot of memories inside it. But they took it away with them. | don’t know whether ric is my uncle or
not. He used my mom’s name to make me trust him,” she murmured.
“Every truth wille out, Hope, Logan stated. “There’s something | always wished to tell you for a long time.” He caressed her
hair and brushed his fingers with hers.
“What is it?” Hope queried.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
“Olivia gave me thefort when | lost my parents. She did what | found right. | never actually bothered what she desired.
Lately, | have thought a lot about it. That’s when | realized, she was just like me and two like poles can never attract each other.”
Hope lifted his head from his shoulder and looked into his eyes. “So, you want to say that-
“| didn’t like her the way | like you. You have be my other half, who is embedded with me. | like the way you make me speak

him deeply. He, too, opened his mouth, thus reciprocating to her. His hand possessively held the back of her head and opened
his mouth widely. Because they were in the park, they both stopped themselves after a while.
The air reached their lungs as soon as they parted their mouths. Logan rested his head. against Hope’s and tenderly stroked her
neck. A smile emerged on his lip as he felt relieved to have her by his side.
Ryan stood up from his seat and put on his zer as he told his secretary he would leave now. Reaching the parking lot, he
opened his car’s door when a familiar figure showed his presence to him.
“Natasha,” Ryan whispered and looked in her direction. “What do you want?” he asked, frowning at her.
“Are you still angry at me for what | did?” Natasha asked.
Ryan chuckled to hear her. “You think after what you did, | would worship you,” heughed and rubbed his forehead.
“Well, whatever happened wasn’t in my hands. You know this well. You weren''t ready to give me the time | wanted,” Natasha
said.
“Natasha, will you stop glorifying the act of your cheating?” Roaxana’s voice
reverberated in the parking lot and Natasha turned around to know who this woman
was.
Roaxana walked toward Ryan and stood in front of him. “Why don’t you apologize for what you did instead of showing yourself a
great person?” she arched an eyebrow at him.
Natasha opened her mouth to speak, but Roaxana didn’t let her. “Ryan was quite kind to you. If | would be in his shoes, | had
made sure to make you suffer along with your idiot. boyfriend,” she stated. “Don’t even open your mouth because if you do, I''ll
p you.”
Nobody ever made Natasha feel this humiliated. It was worse than what Hope did to her. She watched them getting in the car
and wondered if they both had something going on.
Roaxana drove as fast she could, overtaking the cars ahead of them.
“You should slow down,” Ryan said.
Roaxana listened to him and decelerate the car after some time. She pulled the car in the parking lot of the apartment building,
where Ryan lived and ran her fingers

through her hair. “Why did you even let her talk to you?” She asked.
“Before | could even send her away, you appeared out of nowhere,” Ryan replied.

Roaxana nced at him. “You think | did wrong. She cheated on you. She was lucky, | didn’t pull her eyes out, she muttered
while gritting her teeth.
Ryan ended up smiling to hear herments. “You did nothing wrong. Thanks for speaking up on my behalf. | couldn’t have
been this rude to her, but you did right,” he stated, praising the step she took.
Roaxana smiled and told him they were friends, so she could at least do that for him.
“Friends?” Ryan arched his eyebrow.
“Aren''t we? | have not broken my friendship with you yet,” Roaxana rified to him.
“What were you doing in mypany? Didn''t | tell you to leave?” Ryan asked her.
“Ah, I-I thought to wait for you,” Roaxana stated.
“How long did you wait?”
“Why? Are you worried that I’m hungry?” she questioned him. And her stomach growled in this entire conversation. She covered
her belly using her hands and told him it was nothing.
“Let''s go to my apartment. I''ll cook for us,” Ryan said and exited the car. Roaxana was stunned to hear him and followed him to
his apartment. She removed her heels and wore the slippers upon entering his house.
“You talked to me in such a calming tone after a long time,” Roaxana asserted.
“I''m sorry for hurting you all this time. Do you want to freshen up? You can use the washroom. I''ll cook somethin
light for us,” he affirmed.
“Hmm. I''d like to wash my face,” she said.
“Okay. Then, I''ll see you in the kitchen,” Ryan stated.
“Sure.” Roaxana went to the washroom while Ryan headed to the kitchen. He cooked white sauce pasta for them, which readied
soon. While serving it on the te, Roaxana came there and praised him for his cooking skills.
They both sat around the table and began eating. Roaxana was happy that this time Ryan didn’t angrily ask her to leave. She
slowly eat the pasta while gazing at her.
“Roxy,” he called out her name and she realized he used this nickname for her after
such a long time.
“Yeah?”
“Did you refuse to date Isaac?” Ryan asked.
“Hmm. | did. But why do you ask?”
“Nothing.” Ryan didn’t wish to tell her how Isaac talked to him on the phone and told him to not hurt Roaxana. He even had
asked Ryan to stay away from Roaxana.
“Something has happened. Tell me,” Roaxana urged.
“Nothing has happened. | guessed it because you should have been with Isaac at this. hour,” Ryan asserted, thus not letting her
doubt him.
“| don’t like him. So, | don’t wish to date him. | cleared him this already,” she stated and began eating again.
“But he seems to like you,” Ryan proimed.
“Are you trying to set me up with him? | like you and | will date you only,” Roaxana rified to him. She licked her lips. “This
pasta is delicious,” she mumbled.
Ryan smiled a little and let her enjoy her food. However, he had made up her mind he would not date her. The way Roaxana
acted around him, would make his heart melt, but for their betterment, he wished to keep her away.
“No matter how hard it will be for me to open your heart, I''ll do it, Ryan,” she suddenly said, causing their eyes to lock again..
m not a good guy for you. I''ll treat you badly,” he pronounced.
“You aren’t the bad guy either. | understand the turmoil inside you. So, | won’t keep forcing you to date me. Instead, I''ll wait for
your heart to see me as a woman too,”
Roaxana said with a smile. She was confident that she would seed in opening Ryan’s heart for her.
