HER ADDICTION

What do you think you are doing?' She abruptly stood to her feet, pushing the man away from her. 'And who are you? What are you doing in my house and kitchen?' The unknown man rose to his feet, wearing a puzzled look. "Your house? Your kitchen?" "Yes," Nino tried to sound confident even though mere looking at him sent cold blood down her spine. "A burglar won't be treating himself to dinner so who the heck are you?" "I should be asking you this," his cold impassive voice came again. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" After being cheated on by her boyfriend. Nino learnt her house has been sold to a complete stranger, the news of her parent's house being sold by the man her parents borrowed a loan from and couldn't pay back before their death. The news hit Nino Peterson to the core. She swore to take back her parent's house but when she realized the amount the man bought her house, she knew she couldn't pay him on time or send him packing either. So the two reached a compromise that she will still live in her parent's house until she was able to pay back the amount the man paid on her house. But will she be able to live under the same roof with a man knowing he's a complete stranger and the atmosphere will not be the same anymore? And when she also learns the truth about the man living under the same roof with her, would she be able to deal with it?

LUNCH BREAK

Third Person's Narrator

LUNCH BREAK. Nino and her workers assembled at the restaurant Angela had picked out. It was just a 6km walk away. They rounded a table in the middle of the restaurant and ordered food and drinks.

Kevin and Jerry sat on both sides of Nino like bodyguards but it's seen that Kevin for some reason don't appreciate Jerry's presence. From time to time, he kept glancing at him while Jerry doesn't seem to notice what was going on, who was more attentive as he typed frantically on his phone.

"I would like some French fries," Oliver prompted as a waitress approached them. "And an espresso. Do you guys make coffee here?"

"Of course, we do," the waitress replied and scribbled on her hand pad.

"Will you order already?" Liam directed to Angela who was still going through the menu. She lifted her eyes from the menu and threw him a glare. "You have been glued to that menu for over an hour now."
