<NEXT MORNING••DEAN'S MANSION>

Gianna slowly came to, her head throbbing from the night before.

She tried to sit up, but the room started spinning and she fell back down again. As she lay there, trying to get her bearings that was when she realized that she was in a strange bed in a strange room. She didn't recognize anything about her surroundings.

She gently pull the sheets off her body, hoping it's not what she was thinking, and realized that she was wearing a different outfit than the one she had worn the night before.

Panic started to rise within her, and she started to scream.

Just then, the door opened and a Dean walked in.

"What's the problem?!!" He inquired and Gianna's eyes widened.

"You again?!! What am I doing here? Where's this place?!!" She demanded angrily.

"This is my house and what else can you do here?" Dean said,a sly smirk appeared on his face.

"What?" Gianna raised her brows.

"You really don't remember what we did last night?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? And what did you mean by that? Where are my clothes?" Gianna scrambled to the other side of the bed, clutching the sheets to her chest.

"What else?"

Gianna got really mad, seeing his face just reminded her of Ryder she hates so much.

She spunged up,ready to land a heavy slap on his cheek,but Dean caught her hand before she could do so.

"Let me go you pervert! You actually brought   me to your apartment so you could sleep with me?!! You animal! All men are the same! I hate you!" She yelled on top of her voice.

"Calm down miss,I was just joking! My maid was the one who undress you! I didn't touch you, believe me!" Dean said, releasing her.

"How do you expect me to believe that?" Gianna asks,not believing.

"You being able to walk is enough prove I didn't do anything,, I doubt if you can handle me!!" He smirked.

Gianna only glared at him.

"Is that what I get in return for saving you last night?"

Gianna gave him confused look,she don't understand what he meant by saving her.

"It's fine! just take your time and come down to eat, my maid will attend to you,, you can ask her where she kept your dress. See ya around" he winked and walked out.

Gianna sighed feeling relieve a bits,she would have just kill herself if it turned out she was raped after getting heartbroken by Ryder.

A sharp pain suddenly stung her head, she's still feeling headaches,the drink was too much anyways.

She looked around the room, and located the bathroom.

Soon,she was done, she walked out and luckily she spotted one of Dean's hoodie, she wore it anyway.

Not like she can leave the room without wearing something.

She got downstairs and met a lady setting the dinning table. She presumed she's the maid he's talking about.

She walked up to her and the lady look up.

"Can I get my dress please?" She asked, politely.

"You should take something before you go!" The maid suggested.

"No, thanks! I've to be somewhere!" She lied, she had to cos she needed something to get her out of here quickly.

The maid left and come back with her dress,She hand it to Gianna.

"Thank you!" She smile, and began heading to the door,her head turning around but there was no sign of Dean.

Like that, she left the place.

<LYRIC PLACE>

"Do we have to go to school again?" Starr rumbled as Lyric dress him up for school.

"Of course yes!" Lyric smiled.

"We have to, if you want to be a handsome CEO like mom's boss!" Pearl chirped in,she was trying to fit in her second shoe.

"Since when did I mention my boss is handsome!" Lyric raised her brows.

"He's a rich man, Of course he'll be handsome! you don't have to say it" Pearl pouted.

Lyric sighed,and shooked her head. Sometimes she just wondered where she got this two.

"She's right, is he arrogant and cold hearted like the one we see in movies?" Starr asked. Lyric faced him,not saying any word.

"Is he?_ Did he scolded you on your first day?" Pearl went to hold her hand.

She didn't want to respond but they won't stop pestering her.

"No, it's the opposite kids..." She finally respond.

"That's great" Starr smiles

"Is he handsome like David? Is he rich like David's family? Mom,are you falling for him?" Pearl threw her questions.

"You both should stop it, your school bus will soon be here!" Lyric snapped.

The kids frowned at once, and Lyric sighed tiredly, squatting in front of both.

"I'm sorry I got angry okay, it's just that you'll be late for school! I'll tell you guys all what you want to know about him okay" She assured and they both nodded.

"You know I love you both right?!!" She kissed thier foreheads.

"We love you too Mummy!!" Pearl and Starr smiled,giving her a short peck as well.

They then hugged.

The door suddenly opened and Granny Lupe walked in, causing them to break the hugs.

"Sorry for cutting your little reunion short, but the school bus is here!" She said and the kids immediately grabbed thier backpack and rushed to her.

"Bye mommy!" They both waved before leaving with Granny Lupe.

Lyric waved back, before sinking unto the bed,her head up as she stared at space.

Even though she already love the kids as her own,the facts still remain they will always remind her of him.

Her rapist.

"Lyric dear!" She heard Granny Lupe voice and she quickly snapped out of her thoughts and sat up.

"Are they gone? Or did they left something behind?" She panicked.

"Are you thinking about him again? Is that why you got mad at the kids?!!" Granny Lupe asked.

Lyric nodded and broke into tears.

"I'm sorry if I failed you again but I really can't stop thinking about it, don't blame me, Everytime I look at them, they remind me of that wrenched animal!! I really want to erase the memory!" She said admist tears.

Granny Lupe moved closer and hugged her.

"You'll be fine my dear, you have to forget about him for thier sake, please Lyric"

Lyric slowly nodded.
