On the other hand, Raegan had so much on her mind that she couldn't sleep.

Ten years was a long time, but it had passed in a flash.

It was a decade ago when she fell head over heels in love with this man without thinking twice.

At the time, she believed that this love would last forever.

Little did she know that within months her love would be threatened and diminished by Lauren who had Mitchel wrapped around her little finger.

Although she hated playing second fiddle, it would take a great deal of effort for her to stop loving Mitchel.

A hint of bitterness flickered in Raegan's eyes. She knew she would only learn from her failures.

It was drizzling.

Tessa, wearing a hat on top of her coat, was still drenched and disheveled in the old alleyway.

Her job hunt had ended in fruitlessly once again.

The scandalous photos had gotten everywhere. The money Lauren paid her had only been enough for two weeks. Now, she was broke and helpless.

Neither the Lloyd family's residence nor Jacob's place let her in.

She was like a pest to them now. Life was hell for her in recent times.

Tessa considered taking out her anger on Raegan. But since she had no one to protect her or even knew of Reagan's whereabouts, she had to give up on the idea for now.

Annoyed, she pushed open the door to her rented apartment.

The sight that greeted her made her jump. On the bed, a naked man and woman were touching each other.

They looked over when they heard the door open.

“Ah! It's you... Tessa, come on in." Kenia's voice shook, but she had the decency to cover up with the bed sheet at least.

After getting kicked out, Kenia had taken to sleeping around just to pay her bills. There were no high-paying or comfortable men in the ghetto, only rude lowlifes who could barely hold their own.

Kenia enjoyed being the center of all attention even though it came from lowlifes.
