“Then there you go. I won’t tell you anything until you come forward with what I want to hear. It won’t make a difference in Eric or Marco’s life because they going to be dead either way,” Hayden says before letting go of my jaw and turning around.

“You know, Hayden. There are two things I’ll never forget,” I start saying before he turns his head lightly with his hand on the door knob. “It’s the way you first looked at me in the alleyway and then the last time you looked at me that night.”

Hayden stays there, absorbing my words before he twists the knob and leaves the room.

“We are going to have so much fun.” Natalia exclaims as she straightens her hair in front of the bathroom mirror.

I can’t help but smile at her as I work on my makeup.

I decided to straighten my hair as well. I love it when my hair is pin straight. I feel like I don’t look good with curly hair so that’s why I never curl it.

Plus straight hair looks good with the black mini dress I’m wearing. I bought this dress before I got pregnant with Junior and since I gained weight during the pregnancy, I was never able to wear it, at least until now.

Tonight Nicole is hosting a party at the hotel for their wedding. It’s mostly for all the friends of Nicole and Hayden to hangout and drink. Nicole’s dad is making the bar empty for us.

“It’s cool that Nicole's dad is having the bar emptied out so no one will come in.”

Natalia shrugs. “Yea, it’s pretty cool I guess.” She turns her head to look at me. “So I heard from someone that you were seen with Hayden at the beach the other day.”

Who the hell could have seen us in the water?

I mean no pictures came out from the paparazzi or anything so I thought we were good.

I furrow my eyebrows at her. “Who told you that?”

“Kayden.”

Little shit.

Of course he saw us. I thought he was going to the beach to take pictures or something, not spy.

“What about it?”

“You two have been talking a lot. What’s with that?” Natalia asks with a small smirk starting to appear on her lips.

“Natalia, just because we’re talking to one another, doesn’t mean we are fucking. He is getting married and I’m not that type of person.”

Even though I already kissed him and came around his fingers at a dinner that his fiancé’s parents hosted.

“I know, but you guys are talking again,” Natalia says, a smile appearing on her face as she rests the straighter on the counter.

“Hayden and I won’t be happening, Natalia. We can’t.”

“Why not?”

“Well he has a fiancé. Second, we have too much trauma between us.” “But something good can come out of it. You both could be happy.”

Yes I’ll be happy but will I be at peace?

Right now, life is peaceful with just Junior and I.

Other than all of the voices whispering in my head.
