I was scared. Very scared. But I went to Ms. Sophie's office. I found Lucas standing there already."Astrid. Your and his assignments are exactly the same. You have two minutes. Decide who wants to take the punishment!" she shouted.
We looked at each other. He looked down and then he looked towards mam.
"Mam, I-" he was speaking when I interrupted.
"Mam, I'm the one who copied Lucas' assignment" I said. He looked at me with shock, but I didn't look at him back. I was looking at Ms. Sophie.
"Fine Astrid, this is the second time you're gonna go to the principal. It has been just a few days since you joined this college!! Come with me!" she said and dragged me to the principal's office.
I remembered that Noah told me that I should just keep quiet in front of principal sir. That's what I'll do then.
"Astrid! I've never seen any college girl that came two times to the principal's office just in a week of joining!! You're

Astrid's POVI didn't open my eyes while the guy sitting next to my bed was shouting like crazy. Then the doctors told him to calm down or else it might affect my health, so he calmed down. Suddenly I felt a hand on my forehead, stroking me lightly, easing my heart.I opened my eyes when the doctors told that they will have to give me injection if I didn't open my eyes in ten minutes."Hey... Are you ok..?" He said. I looked towards him. He was Noah. I never expected him here... At least not after I insulted him."Yea-h I'm" I said looking at the ceiling."How did you fell unconscious?" he asked."That... Actually..

Noah's POVI went to Astrid. She was still lying with her eyes closed. I guess the doctor has advised her to lay down more.I sat beside her silently and she opened her eyes."Have you eaten anything?" I asked her."No.. I'm not feeling hungry" she replied."You have to eat.

Collateral Love Chapter 75: Make This Right
Astrid’s POVWe reached our home after the ‘pretend’ meeting with mom. I can’t even believe that he is being this cold. I mean… we loved each other once, right?I shrugged my thoughts and went inside one of the rooms and locked it from inside. I need to be calm and not think about him or anyone. I need some ‘me time’.I laid down on my bed and was about to sleep when I heard a knock on the door. Will he not even let me sleep?I got up and slowly dragged myself towards the door and opened it.He was standing and looking at me like I am a ghost.“What?” I asked him.“I am leaving tomorrow,” he said.“I know,” I replied.He sighed. “Yeah.

I miss her, but you know when you’ll leave, I will stay with her. So… can we go somewhere else today?”“Meet her, Astrid,” I insisted. She doesn’t know that her mom has cancer, so I am trying to do what she would have done if she knew.“What’s wrong with you?” she looked irritated. “Let’s just go to some… movie?”Trust me Astrid, if you knew, you’d have not wanted to even eat anything.

Noah’s POVIt is not easy, what I am doing.I don’t even know how I should behave with her.How do you behave when you marry your ex?I don’t even wanna call her my ‘ex’.I wanna hate her, maybe because I want a reason to keep myself distracted from the fact that I still love her and she doesn’t.She might be sorry for everything and might even care for me but I know she doesn’t like me in that way anymore.I don’t even know what I am doing. Every time I want to show her hate, like the wedding night, I ended up hugging her like she is my life.I can’t be vulnerable, not again.But I can’t help it.The coffee I was drinking, was so tasty.

There were balloons and flowers used.“I expect you to remove all this crap tomorrow,” he said coldly and went to a room.Crap?This seems to be the most touching thing to gift at someone’s wedding. He really called my mother’s gift as crap?I sighed anyway and went to take water.As I made my way to the living room, I was confused. Will we sleep in the same room? Or different?What if he embarrasses me if I go to the same room? That really wouldn’t be the best start for us.I went to a

I found something yesterday about my mom while I was going through her things. There were different medicines she was taking, I couldn’t research on them because of time.They were weird names like doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, Ethyol, Amifostine.Only two of them are used. I don’t know what is going on and it seems quite serious.I was in my room at the wedding hall when someone knocked. I went to the door and opened it.“Um… Noah?” I spoke.
