She wanted to say that if he were free tomorrow, he could wait and go back with her. Instead, but she didn’t say it directly. “I have to go somewhere tomorrow. We’ll stay at a hotel first and head home together tomorrow afternoon.”
Owen’s face lit up with a smile. “Sure.”
Aria chuckled, thinking. It seems he’s a person who’s easily satisfied.’
They got to the hotel. The front desk girl looked at them, sizing them up, then asked, “Do you need two rooms?”
Before Owen could say anything, Aria said, “Just one. We’re a couple.”
Owen couldn’t stop smiling. The girl caught his reaction and smiled too. “A queen-size bed. Is that okay?”
Aria nodded. “Yeah.”
“Room 1406, on the fourteenth floor. The elevator is just to the left,” the girl said.
Owen took the room key. “Thanks.”
They turned left and walked away, just as a man wearing a hat and mask appeared at the front desk. “One queen room, please.”
The girl said, “Wait a moment, sir. You have to take off your mask and let me check your ID.”
The man stepped back and removed his mask. The receptionist flinched in surprise because half his face was covered in
scars.
He asked, “I have injuries on my face, so I might not look exactly like my photo. Is it still okay to check in?”
The receptionist quickly snapped back to her senses and rushed to check him in. “That’s fine. We can work with that. Room 1308, turn left and walk straight to the elevator. Have a good stay, sir.”
After the man left, the receptionist let out a sigh of relief and clutched her chest. “Oh gosh, that really freaked me out.”
Once they entered the room, Aria called Vanessa. “Are you home yet?”
The cop had dropped Vanessa off at her apartment, and she was waiting for the elevator. “Yeah, I just got home. Don’t worry.”
“Good. Hit me up next time you wanna drink,” Aria said.
“Sure.” Vanessa staggered into the elevator. “I’m in the elevator now. I gotta go. Love you.”
“Love you too,” Aria replied.
The elevator door opened after a while. Vanessa saw someone outside and immediately stepped back, pressing the close
button.
However, it was too late. Zac had already seen her. He strode over and blocked the elevator, grabbing Vanessa’s hand. “Are
you hurt?”
Vanessa yanked his hand away. “It’s none of your business.”

Seeing that she was fine, Zac let out a sigh of relief. “There’s nothing between me and her’
“Who cares? I’m not interested in this Vanessa tried to walk away.
Zac blocked her path and grabbed her arm. I asked you out for a movie, but you were busy, so I went alone, not knowing she was there. She took my ticket deliberately and took photos to make you misunderstand
“That’s none of my damn business. Vanessa shot back.
Zac’s face darkened. ‘Are you seeing someone else? Is this why you want to break up with me?
Vanessa laughed and said casually, “Yeah, I got plenty of admirers. They can do better than you?
“You can’t do this.” Zac picked Vanessa up and carried her straight out of the elevator.
“Leave me alone,” Vanessa yelled, slapping him hard. Both froze for a moment.
Vanessa weakened her tone. “Put me down.”
Zac gritted his teeth, walking quickly to the door. He pressed his finger and unlocked it. I still have access. Is this what call breaking up?”
Vanessa rolled her eyes. “I just forgot to delete it, okay? I’ll do it right away.”

Zac carried her over to the couch and set her down. “Myla told me you went to Velvet Smoke. I went to find you and heard about the explosion. I called you countless times, but you didn’t pick up, so I waited outside.”
Only then did Vanessa notice his eyes were teary. She asked, “Did you cry?”
“No.” Zac said,
Vanessa laughed. “Come on, there’s nothing to be ashamed of
Zac glared at her. “Do you still want to break up with me?”
“It depends on how you treat me,” Vanessa said.
Zac couldn’t hold himself back anymore and pressed his body against hers.
