RAIDEN’S POVI was at home, lying on the couch, trying to shake off the pain that came with Davina’s engagement news. Then, the doorbell rang, interrupting my thoughts. I reluctantly got up to answer it, and when I opened the door, I saw Ignacio, holding the wedding invitation in his hand. My heart rate increased as I wondered what he wanted.“Good afternoon, Raiden. I hope I'm not interrupting anything,” he said, his voice low and calm.“Not at all,” I replied, trying to hide my discomfort.“Great. I just wanted to make sure you received the wedding invitation to my upcoming nuptials with Davina.”I tried my best to keep my composure, even though I felt like I was about to explode. “Yes, I received it. Congratulations, Ignacio,” I said, with a fake smile.“Thanks, Raiden. I know things have been a bit awkward between us, but I hope this invitation can be a start to something new. We can put the past behind us and move forward.”As soon as Ignacio showed up at my doorstep, I felt a ru
RAIDEN’S POVAs I sat in my office, I could feel Davina's presence outside my door, hesitant to come in. I knew I had to face her eventually, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for it. Eventually, she knocked softly and walked in, looking nervous."Raiden, can we talk?" she asked tentatively.I took a deep breath and nodded, gesturing for her to take a seat. "What do you want to talk about?" I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral."I just wanted to... apologize," she said, fidgeting with her hands. "I know I hurt you and I didn't mean to. I never wanted things to end up this way between us."I felt a surge of anger rise up in me at her words, but I pushed it down. "You never wanted things to end up this way? You're engaged to another man, Davina. That's not exactly a great way to show someone you care about them.""I know," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "But I had to do something to get over you. Ignacio proposed and I said yes, but it doesn't mean I don't still have feel
DAVINA’S POVI was exhausted from taking care of Raiden all night, but seeing him healthy and well-rested made it all worth it. As I was preparing breakfast for him, my phone rang and I saw that it was Ignacio calling."Hey, Ignacio. What's up?" I answered, trying to sound casual."I just wanted to check up on you. I was worried when you didn't come home last night," he replied, concern lacing his voice."Oh, I'm fine. I had some work to catch up on, so I stayed at the restaurant to focus," I lied smoothly."Are you sure that's all it was?" he asked, skepticism creeping into his tone."Yes, I'm sure. Why would you think otherwise?" I countered, feeling a bit defensive."I don't know, Davina. It just seems like you're pulling away from me. And with the wedding coming up, I can't help but worry," he explained."Ignacio, you have nothing to worry about. I love you and I'm committed to our future together," I reassured him, hoping that my words would ease his concerns."Okay, I trust you.
DAVINA’S POVI was sitting alone in my living room when the doorbell rang. I hesitated for a moment, wondering who it could be, but when I opened the door, I saw that it was Gaven, Raiden's best friend."Hey Davina," he said, stepping into my apartment. "Can we talk for a minute?"I nodded, closing the door behind him. "Sure, what's up?"Gaven took a seat on the couch across from me and cleared his throat. "I know this might be difficult, but I have to ask. Are you sure you want to go through with this wedding?"I felt a knot form in my stomach as I avoided his gaze. "Yes, of course. Why would you even ask that?""Because I know you, Davina. And I know how much you loved Raiden."My heart ached at the mention of his name. "I still do love him," I admitted quietly. "But I can't be with him. Not after everything that's happened.""But do you really want to marry Ignacio? Or are you just settling because it's easier?"I looked at Gaven, tears starting to form in my eyes. "I don't know wh

But she quickly composed herself and asked me if I had forgotten something. I shook my head, telling her that I was there to say goodbye and apologize to her for all the pain I had caused her.I couldn't believe I was sitting here, at this dinner table, with her. It felt like a dream. Everything about her was so familiar, yet so distant. As we ate in silence, I felt my heart racing with anticipation. This could be our final moment together, and I wanted to make it count."Raiden," she spoke softly, breaking the silence. Her voice sent shivers down my spine, and I turned to face her, eager to hear what she had to say."I k
DAVINA’S POVI couldn't believe the day had come, it was my wedding day. I was dressed up in the most beautiful dress, adorned with stones, and it fitted me perfectly, like it was made for me. Mira Rose had done an incredible job with it, she had a way of making everything perfect. But as I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel sad, my smile was nowhere to be found. I was about to marry a man I didn't love, it was tearing me apart.Mira Rose could sense my unease and tried to comfort me. "You look beautiful, Davina, like a true queen," she said as she helped me adjust my veil. "But are you sure you want to go through with this? I can see the sadness in your eyes."I took a deep breath before answering, "I don't know, Mira Rose. I feel like I'm making a mistake, but I can't break Ignacio's heart. He's been nothing but kind to me, and I don't want to hurt him."Mira Rose gave me a sympathetic smile and held my hands, "I understand how you feel, Davina, but this is you

Davina Adams I stare at the mop in my arm, swirling the stick around the plastic bucket. My body is exhausted and I don’t think I can continue the work I have ahead of me today, though certainly Mrs. Thompson would not be pleased with my decision to leave so early. A knock sounded from the door and I immediately shifted my gaze over to where the knock was coming from. Heaving softly, I took calm strides over to the door and twisted it open to find Mr. Thompson staring back at me. “Didn’t you say you were sick yesterday? why are you here today?” He asked. I didn’t know what reply to give to him. I just stared plainly at my feet.“I’m speaking to you Davina, are you okay?” I can hear the worry in his voice. I sighed lightly and then looked up at him. “I need the wage for today to purchase medicine for myself,” I said softly. He looked at me with a disapproving nod.“You should have told me to help you with the money. Common, take and head back home, you need medication.” He said. “

DAVINA’S POVIgnacio had planned a romantic dinner for us that evening. The table was set with candles and rose petals. The aroma of the food filled the air, and the sound of soft music played in the background.As we sat down, Ignacio poured some wine into my glass and raised his own. "To us," he said, smiling.I smiled back, feeling grateful to have him in my life. "To us," I replied, taking a sip of the wine.As we ate, we talked about our future plans, and Ignacio brought up the topic of marriage. "Davina, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"I was surprised by the sudden proposal, but I couldn't help but feel happy. "Ignacio, I love you too, and yes, I will marry you," I replied, tears welling up in my eyes.Ignacio got up from his seat, came over to me, and got down on one knee. He pulled out a small box and opened it, revealing a stunning diamond ring. "Davina, will you marry me?" he asked again, looking into my eyes.I couldn't beli
RAIDEN’S POVI woke up feeling terrible. My head was pounding, my nose was stuffed, and my throat was scratchy. I knew I wouldn't be able to go to work today. I texted Ignacio to let him know and tried to go back to sleep, but the pain was too much.That's when Karla walked in. She saw how miserable I was and sat down next to me, putting her hand on my forehead to check for a fever. I didn't think much of it, she's always been a caring friend.But then, she started stroking my hair and rubbing my back. It felt nice, and I was too sick to care about anything else. I must have dozed off because the next thing I knew, my head was on her lap and she was humming softly.I opened my eyes and saw her looking down at me, concern etched on her face. I could tell she genuinely cared about me, and I felt grateful to have a friend like her. I didn't know what Davina would think if she saw us like this, but at that moment, I couldn't bring myself to care. All I knew was that Karla's comfort was ex
