The first person to arrive was Rupert since he owned the bar, while the couple, Jordi and Hiraeth arrived late amongst everyone. They were all looking forward to seeing each other and talking about what happened to them, especially to Allana and Augustine who went missing in action. The last thing that they heard about Augustine was when he went back to marry Allana through a surprise arranged marriage but Allana ran away to marry Ji Xuan.

(Allana and Augustine’s story “A Woman’s Worth” is a completed book and is available on another platform, it's the book 1 of Love, Lust, Lies Series that revolves around their squad. And “A Twisted Desire” is the book 2.)

Walking inside a silent room, Allana felt a little nervous, she had made a bad decision and she does not know if they are still willing to treat her as their friend after she cast them off for a man who ended up hurting her. Sensing that her hands are getting cold, Allana subconsciously reached for something, anything that will ease her emotions. And it happened that Augustine removed his hands from his pocket so it brushed Allana’s in which she quickly grasped. Glancing at her pale face Augustine just let her be, besides it will be a good one for him to hold her hands. Drawing circles on the back of her hand with his thumb, Allana’s nervous face now eased unaware that she was slowly relying on him.

Inside the room are her friends who were by her side for years, each of them eagerly looking at her, seeing them again, Allana felt all the sadness she had to endure for years rushed into her. In this squad that they have in here, she was the youngest and the most treasured. So, after seeing their faces again, it felt like she is a child waiting for her parents’ permission to come over.

Biting her lower lip to hide the embarrassment she felt, Allana wanted to hug them and whine about all of her pain, but she won’t. It’s better for her to just suck it all in by herself, she caused this pain so she has to face it alone.

“What are you standing there for! Come here and cry, don’t hold it in i***t!” a loud nagging voice from the eldest among the women in their group, Traci Norris, the frank and feisty woman in their group. At the age of 29, the woman has already become a very successful psychologist, whenever the group needs someone to talk to, she is the person that they run to.

“Do you want us to drag you from the door to here? Hey Augustine, are you sure that's our Allana the great?” Maisie Watson, the ultimate it-girl of the group, everyone is charmed by her looks and smooth talks, whatever the person’s orientation is, Maisie will always have a way to bend them over and answer her calls.

“Go, even if you ignore us for a couple more years, we will still be here dummy.” hearing such assurance from Augustine broke her barriers which quickly caused her tears to fall one after the other. Holding Augustine’s shirt with her one hand and the other covering her red and tear-streaked face, crying like a young child in front of the people who filled the empty feeling she had since her family died. If she can’t face her friends, what more to the only living blood relative she had, her grandfather whom she always disappointed.
