Kate’s POV
On my way home after a long and tiring day, I felt relieved when I saw Erlan waiting for me in the office lobby. There was something that warmed my heart every time I saw him. Even though he had been distant the past few days, his presence tonight gave me a sense of security that was hard to explain. Maybe I was too tired to analyze everything, but I did know that I missed him. As we walked to the car, I decided to ask him to stop by a small cafe on the corner. “How about we stop for a coffee?” I asked with a smile, hoping to extend our time together before the night was over. Erlan turned to me, and for the first time in days, I saw a genuine smile on his face. “That’s okay. I think we need a little rest before we go home.” The cafe wasn’t too crowded tonight, only a few tables occupied. We chose a spot near the window, where we could see the street starting to empty. The waiter came over with menus, but I alreaRelated chapters

Kate’s POV He smiled back at me, and I could feel the weight between us starting to lift. “Thank you, Kate. I don’t know what I would do without you in my life.” I smiled and rubbed his hand gently. “We need each other, Erlan. So don’t ever feel alone, okay?” Erlan nodded slowly, and we enjoyed our coffee again in comfortable silence. Even though today had been tiring, I felt that this conversation was a big step for us. I knew that this journey wouldn’t be easy, but I also knew that we could get through it together. The night was getting late when we decided to go home. As we walked out of the cafe, I felt the burden on my shoulders was lighter. With Erlan, I felt like I could face anything that came, including the fierce competition with Darwis that was now unavoidable. As we left the cafe and returned to the car, the atmosphere between us felt lighter, as if the burden that had been between us was slowly

Kate’s POV "I also want us to continue to support each other in our careers," he continued. "I want to see you continue to grow, to achieve all your dreams, and I want to be a part of it all." I felt my heart warm at his words. "And I want the same for you, Erlan. I want you to continue to be who you are now, a loving and caring person, who is always ready to support others. I will always be there to support you in whatever you want." We continued talking about our dreams, about the small and big things we wanted to achieve together. It felt good to talk about the future, not with fear or doubt, but with the belief that we would face it all together. When we finally arrived at my apartment, I felt relieved and excited. Erlan stopped the car, and before I got out, I turned to him. "Thank you for tonight, Erlan. I feel more confident that we can get through this." Erlan smiled, looking at me lovingly. "Me

Darwis' POV Tonight, I found myself awake alone in the living room again. I looked at the clock on the wall which showed three in the morning, and once again, Kayra had not come home. This was the umpteenth time she had disappeared without saying anything, and I was starting to feel annoyed. My mind was filled with various speculations about what she was doing out there. What activities made her keep leaving and only returning when the sun was almost up? I tried to be patient, holding myself back from confronting her right away. But the longer it went on, the harder it was to control my impatience. The thought that she might be doing something bad kept haunting my mind. Maybe she was meeting someone, or maybe there was something else she was hiding from me. Every night, my suspicions grew stronger, and this feeling became harder to ignore. While I was lost in my thoughts, I heard the sound of the door opening slowly. I t

Darwis's POV “Don’t you care what’s happening to us? Don’t you care that I’m worried about you, that I want to know what’s going on?” I felt increasingly frustrated at the lack of an answer. “Or maybe you never cared.” Kayra's face changed when she heard my last sentence, but she still didn't say anything. The silence between us continued, making my anger and confusion grow. "I want answers, Kayra," I pressed, not wanting to give up so easily. "If you can't give them, then what's the point of us being together?" Kayra stared at me with a look that I couldn't decipher. She then let out a long sigh, as if a heavy burden had just been lifted from her shoulders. However, she still didn't give me the explanation I was hoping for. "What are you doing, Kayra? You can't keep doing this. You have to stop." I felt like I was talking to a wall. Her unwillingness to open up made me feel e

Darwis's POV Finally, I decided to leave. I took my work bag and walked out of the house without looking back. It felt impossible to fix anything in a situation like this. However, as I sat at my desk, my thoughts kept drifting to Kayra. What was she really doing? Why was she so obsessed with Kate and Erlan? Every time I tried to focus on my work, the image of Kayra and the photos I found kept haunting my mind. I couldn't calm myself down. I leaned back in my chair, massaging my throbbing temples. I knew I should concentrate on my work, but it was no use. My mind was already filled with suspicions that were becoming increasingly impossible to ignore. The longer it took, the more my curiosity took over. I knew that if I kept sitting here doing nothing, I would only sink deeper into uncertainty. Kayra must be planning something, and I couldn't just sit around waiting for it all to explode. I finally decided

Darwis' POV As I sat in the car, watching from a distance, an uneasy feeling took over my mind. Kayra had been acting strange for the past few weeks, and tonight she had left again in secret. I could no longer hold back this suspicion. There was something Kayra was hiding from me, and I had to find out. I saw her leave the house silently, carrying a small bag that she always brought when she left for no apparent reason. Quickly, I followed behind, making sure she didn't notice my presence. Her car stopped at a small cafe on the outskirts of town. The place looked deserted, with only a few vehicles parked outside. I waited in the car, watching Kayra enter the cafe. Not long after, a familiar-looking man approached her. I recognized the man, he was a journalist who often appeared at important events. They began to talk with unusual intensity, Kayra's facial expression showing suspicious seriousness. My burning curiosity made

Darwis's POV Kayra paused, her eyes now blank, as if thinking about something deep inside her. I knew the battle wasn't over yet, but at least I tried to wake her up. Without saying anything else, I left the cafe, leaving Kayra to her own thoughts. In the car, I felt a heavy burden on my chest. Whatever would happen after this, I just hoped Kayra could find peace within herself, even if it meant leaving her forever. Seeing Kayra who looked shocked after our argument, I could only sigh heavily. Her face was pale, and her gaze was empty as if there was no life behind her eyes. I remained still in place, watching her movements anxiously. Kayra started walking out of the cafe, her steps unsteady like someone who had lost their way. I couldn't look away from her. Something was wrong, very wrong. Every step she took felt heavy as if she was carrying too much weight on her shoulders. As she approached the intersection, I felt a

Darwis's POV I released my grip, letting my words sink into her mind. Kayra was still crying, but I could see something had changed in her gaze. The despair that had haunted her earlier was slowly replaced by confusion, and maybe... just maybe, a little bit of awareness. I waited in silence, hoping she would say something, anything. But Kayra just sobbed, her body shaking, as if all the emotions she had been holding back had finally exploded. "Darwis... I... I don't know what else to do..." her voice was hoarse, barely audible over her sobs. I took a deep breath, approaching her again, more gently this time. "You don't need to know everything right now, Kayra. All you need to do is take the first step. Don't let this pain control you. Don't let this hatred kill you." I wiped the tears from her face with my thumb, trying to provide some comfort. "I'm here, Kayra. I will always be here for you, but you have to
