She stares back at him, shocked about his confession. She pinched her thigh to be sure she wasn’t dreaming, but it was reality. The man who
dreaded and bullied her so much was really sitting in front of her and confessing his love to her, when she was planning to end things today,
and move on with her life.
For seconds, her heart freeze in her chest, and her brain couldn’t process what to say. It was the first time in her entire life someone was going to confess to her, and she didn’t even know how to react. Yes, she was supposed to be excited, not because she had feelings for him, but because someone finally confessed to her, but she was rather disappointed. She just lost a few pounds, and he now found her beautiful enough to be with her?
“You love me? Why?” She finally spoke up, and he bit his bottom lip.
“I don’t know…”
“When did you start liking, or loving me, rather? Was it today?” She asked as she clenched her fingers under the table, feeling a bit nervous.
“I don’t… I…I didn’t have the courage to face you after what happened in the past… but the more I tried to keep things to myself, the more it kept disturbing me, and I couldn’t take it in anymore,” He replied to her, trying to be as sincere as he could be, praying silently that she doesn’t end up rejecting her.
She slowly nodded her head, not knowing what to say anymore. Taking a deep breath, she reached out for her purse that has been on the table. She brought out a cheque from inside, and dropped it on the table before she pushed it toward him.
“I appreciate everything you have done for me, Xander… But I’m sorry, I won’t ever bring myself to be with a jerk,” She uttered, trying everything she could to avoid his gaze. Of course, she knew that all those were in the past, she knew he has been treating her nicely lately, doing that to convince her that he really liked her? What if he is lying because he felt she but what if he was just pretending? What if he
was now beautiful after she lost some pounds?
“This is a cheque of 4.2 million dollars… The two hundred thousand to buy my freedom as your slave… And the remaining four million for the

couldn’t help the sting he felt in his heart, But then, where did she get the money from? Who gave her that amount? As much as he wanted to ask her that, on second thought, he felt that there was no need for

“I will take my leave now,” She uttered before she stood up and with that, she strode out of the restaurant without sparing him another glance:
Tears brimmed in his eyes as he stared into space. He has never been rejected all his life, and he just got the rejection of his life. What could he possibly do to win her heart? What the hell could he do to make her see his sincerity?
While still trying to figure this out, his phone’s ringtone distracted him, and he checked the screen to see that the call was from Jenny. He rolled his eyes angrily and dropped the phone on the table. Talking about Jenny the young lady has refused to give up on trying to get back together with Xander, but his mind was already made up, and he wasn’t going to change it for any reason.
He finally stood up and dragged his feet out of the restaurant, not after picking up his phone. He hopped inside his car once he stepped out of the restaurant, and drove off…
Meanwhile, Summer’s mind was clouded with thoughts as the cabby drove her home. For some seconds, she asked herself if she made the

right decision, if she was right to have treated him like that. Although he has hurt her in the past, but he helped her dad.
They finally arrive at the hospital a few minutes later, and she paid the cabby before she proceeded toward the entrance of the hospital, and once she stepped inside, she headed to her dad’s ward. Well, he was still in the same condition as always.
After spending hours in the hospital, she finally returned to the hotel where she is staying for now.
How time flies, it has been three days since she met Xander here, and she hasn’t set her eyes on him since then.
As she forces her eyes open to see the daylight, she sighs briefly before sitting up on the bed, running her fingers through her thick hair. Once she was out of bed, she got dressed for her usual morning routine of burning fat by jogging daily, before she left the hotel.
Headphone on her head and listening to music as she jogs down the road, she suddenly trips and falls flat on the floor, stumbling hard until she hits her legs on the graveled floor.
“Shit!” She winces in pain as she holds her bruised knees, grimacing.
“Are you ok, miss? Do you need help?” That voice sounds so familiar that she couldn’t have mistaken someone else for it. She slowly raises her gaze, and her heart sinks into her stomach at the sight that welcomes her…
“Summer?” She thought it was just her illusion, not until he calls her names, and she freezes on the spot. It’s really Hunter! Her best friend she has been longing to see for the past few months.
“Hunter?” Her mouth drops open in shock as she stares back at him…
