Three days had gone by since the chaos of Riya's sudden visit to Lotus Crown Villa.
Life had resumed its uneasy yet surprisingly efficient status quo between the three of them.
The night before, Riya had indeed called as promised and talked for almost two hours.
Alex had no idea what they talked about. He asked Lucy about it later on. But all she did was smile with her iconic smile and tell him it was a private conversation between sisters.
He did not dare ask Riya because she already told him that if he ever dared ask what they talked about, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
So, when Riya knocked on the door of the villa that afternoon with a look on her face that seemed like she already made up her mind and did not even need his opinion on it, Alex could only stand and watch her.
"I'm taking Lucy out tonight."
And with that, Riya walked straight past him and into the living room without even bothering to be invited in.
"Take? You're taking Lucy out tonight?"
