Anna did not know what to say to her mother this time. She knew her too well.

"Mom, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, if Alex has some secrets under his arms then I would uncover them and will make sure that I don't get hurt in the end." hearing this, Mother Marrie smiled seeing her daughter acting so mature.

"Y...Your brother's death anniversary is coming soon."

Silence.

Silence.

They both were silent from their sides. Anna's trauma hits up whenever her brother's death anniversary comes.

That day was the most horrible day in her life ever! She not only lost her brother but also the love of her life.

That was her carelessness and she was guilty till this date but no one can understand this matter, literally no one!

Her scars are deep hidden and Sierra is still burning inside her. After standing in a daze for some time, she answered her mother.

"Mom, do not worry. This time, on my brother's anniversary. I will give you the best gift ever you can receive. I shall put down my phone now. Be happy and I love you."

"child, don't do anything wrong. I'm happy the way I am. Putting your life in danger and your happiness at risk, it's not what I want." Mother Marrie doesn't know what Anan is going to do but she has a gut feeling that it is something not correct!

"Bye, mom. Take care of yourself." Anna hung up at that point.

She doesn't want to talk with her mother anymore about this content. Many things have happened in her life but she wants to end it soon.

At least this way, Sierra can die in peace once her revenge is fulfilled.

'I hope that Alex, you aren't hiding anything serious from me. Otherwise, you will have to face consequences.' Anna thought while looking at one picture of hers and Alex on her mobile phone.

.

On the other hand, Alena was sitting in the room of her hotel, booked by none other than Alex himself. Her thoughts were flying back to the time of what Jack did in the car with her.

But then, her thoughts flew back to the time when he had taken her to his own room, one night when her name wasn't registered in the hotel's book.

Whatever happened in his hotel's room, Alena can't help but feel goosebumps on her hand, when she thought of her first kiss with Jack, whom she barely knew.

'You are seriously messing my brain, idiot Jack!' He was much older than her and this was seriously wrong in her case!

But who will hold her this loud beating heart? she already had one crush and that is Reyan, but what is now happening to her?

She doesn't know!

RING! RING!

Alena, who was sipping her coffee, shifted her eyes to her phone and saw an unknown number calling her. Her eyes frowned as she never saw this number ever!

"Hello?"

"Alena?"

She knew this voice too well. It was one other than the person who had occupied her mind for so long time! He was just constantly revolving in her thoughts and here he was, calling her directly.

"Hmm? What happened? Why are you calling me now?"

"I...I needed your help. Can we meet somewhere?" She did not know why he wanted to meet her. But her heart was just not letting her say no to him.

So, in the end, she agreed to meet him somewhere out while he will pick her up from her hotel. But she was in the next dilemma when she had to decide what to wear!?!

'Why did I not bring any proper dress with me?!?' Alena was really feeling frustrated with it because she had no perfect dress to wear, at least for now.

She had thought of wearing something good but it looks like she has to go to a plain dress while going out with Jack.

"Bur waits a minute, why am I being too excited to go with Jack?!?" She was surprised by herself as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.

The dress was fitting her perfectly, showing her curves too much! But for the very first time, Alena wanted to wear it because she wanted to look good in front of Jack?!?

"You are going crazy Alena," she whispered in between her breath, and then, she received a message from Jack's side that he is waiting for her downstairs.

Alena, taking her purse with her phone, made her way down to his coast through the lift.

There was a smile plastered on her lips as the thought of spending some time with Jack came into her mind.

Nervousness was too coming up on her but she gently let it go because the most important factor in front of her is, to see what Jack needs from her.

She wasn't aware of why he was calling her to meet him. But somewhere, she had this in her mind that something must be important and related to Anna. otherwise, why will he even interact with her when he almost ate his brain the last time?

But then, when her eyes fell on the men who looked too dashing in a black t-shirt, paired with denim jeans, Alena almost gulped as she felt her throat was dried.

"H...Hey!"

"Hello. Get in, we have to go fast." Alena did not understand what he meant but she instantly sat beside him.

But that was the time, Alena's eyes widened when Jack got closer to her, his eyes looking deep into hers, their nose almost touching each other.

CLICK!

She lowered her face to see he had helped her in putting up the belt. The instant the belt got installed, he pulled himself away from her.

"Sorry. I had to put on the belt. It's quite new so I thought you might not be able to put it." Jack replied calmly but there was a look in his eyes that Alena missed.

His intentions and words weren't matching at all and he did not even intend to make them match.

Alena simply vigorously shaken her head in a nod as Jack got out of the hotel's ambiance.

After five minutes, Alena built up the courage and asked him in a confident tone, "Where are we going? You said that you need my help with something."

"Yes, actually we are going to a jewelry shop. I need your help there to select something. Rest details, well I will give them to you afterward." Jack did not reveal everything.

He kept it short and simple but Alena was becoming curious.

"But you can at least tell me anything about it? You want to buy any jewel or necklace?" She can only guess it.

"Half of it is true. I have to buy something and I thought that you might be free so I asked you." He kept his lips sealed, making sure to not reveal more than what is needed.

But this time, Alena did not reply. Instead, she stared out at the highway and the tall buildings of the Zuak Land. She got this beautiful chance, how can she miss it?

She simply wanted to enjoy this moment for a few hours, at last, she will have to go back to her state and live her ordinary life like others. Right?

But then, Jack's next words rang inside her mind.

"I hope you do not keep a grudge against me about whatever happened on that day?" Her eyes and face did not move in his direction.

She had no reaction and this was quite shocking Jack to notice!

"Alena? It was just an accidental kiss. Nothing more. I..I never wished for it to happen and if not for that damn slippery flo-"

"No one asked for the explanation by the way. So keep it to yourself and concentrate on driving." Alena interrupted him with her words and he was shocked to see her coldness towards him.

He hadn't expected this attitude of hers towards himself. Of course, he was now aware that his words were more like a knife that pierced through her heart.

He had committed a mistake. But he did not wish to give her any hints.

After all, she is simply a teenager. If he doesn't clear his stand, then she might start to feel something for him and that is the last thing he wants, at least for now!

"Alena You are taking me wrong." Jack still felt that she was a teen, he should first clarify himself in front of her.

"I'm already old enough. Although you took my first kiss, that doesn't mean I will ask you to take responsibility for mine. So, stop worrying."
