Fading Slowly but Surely Chapter 14
Richard's features hardened with anger now that Emmett had confirmed things. Even his voice sounded harsher. "Isla told me you gave false testimony. How dare you lie about something this big? Do you even know the impact your actions will have on her future?"Because she now has a record of plagiarising on a test, she'll lose her spot in the exchange program! The university's even contemplating whether to expel her to suppress public outrage! "Isla's entire life will be ruined because of you once the decision is finalized. Not to mention, you previously caused online public opinion against her!"Yes, she likes you, but be honest—has she ever done anything wrong to you in these past two years? Do you hate her that much? Must you force her into a dead end?"If you have any conscience left in you, I urge you to explain the truth to the university at once! Otherwise, your lies won't just destroy her. It'll bring myself and the entire school down, too!"All Emmett could focus on was th

Isla was sunbathing on the beach when she received a call from Richard, who said she was in the clear. She wasn't sure how Richard had forced Emmett to confess the truth, nor did she want to know the details. She merely expressed her utmost and sincerest gratitude to Richard.Richard had given her a few more words of advice before rushing off to another meeting.Isla enjoyed the sea breeze. She sipped some fruit juice while leisurely returning to her lounge chair on the beach.She had arrived in Iruvia three days ago. Her initial plan was to finalize her admissions procedure. Unfortunately, the university learned about the incident through a phone call with Quintessa University. They then informed her that there was an issue with her admission, saying she couldn't proceed for now.Isla only learned someone had secretly reported her to Quintessa University after asking a roommate. She then contacted Richard to tell him the truth and ask if he had a solution. Richard was Quintess

Isla was busy for days after moving into her new apartment. She eventually finished decorating the place.That night, she received news that all international exchange students were accounted for. Likewise, she learned there would be a welcoming party at the auditorium tomorrow.Isla noted down the time for the party and headed out early the next day.Although Isla roamed the campus whenever she felt bored these past few days, she still got lost because the campus was massive. Plus, the buildings practically looked the same.She wanted to ask someone for directions since it was almost time for the party. That was when her phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.She pondered briefly before deciding to answer it. A familiar voice soon rang out from her phone. Even so, she couldn't tell who it was. She was trying to figure it out when someone tapped her shoulder from behind.Isla turned around and saw the handsome young man who helped her a few days ago.The young man's

The weather was lovely on the weekend, which was rare.Isla happily met up with Edoardo at a garden-themed cafe. The two chatted as a flock of white doves flew from the lake. A feather landed on her hair just then. When Edoardo saw it, he smiled and stood, wanting to help her remove it. They were so close to each other that they looked like a couple from afar.Isla looked up at him with a cheery gaze. She had just uttered, "Thanks," when she noticed something from the corner of her eyes and stiffened.A haggard-looking man stood at the door with a gauze bandage around his head. Why did he seem so much like Emmett?Before Isla could get a better look, the man was already storming over to her.Emmett's bloodshot eyes lowered onto the table full of delectable desserts. His gaze flickered between Edoardo and Isla as he furiously questioned, "Who is he?"Only after hearing the man's familiar voice did Isla confirm he was Emmett. Although she was unsure why he knew her exact locati

Edoardo stumbled a few steps back from the force.Emmett shot a frosty glare at him before tugging at Isla's arm, wanting to leave.Edoardo held the wall to stabilize himself. When he saw Isla resisting Emmett, he immediately rushed to her once more and punched Emmett in the face. The two men then got into a physical altercation.Because of that, the once peaceful corner of the garden fell into chaos. The chairs and tables were flipped over, and food was scattered all over the ground. Even the flowerpots beside the three got knocked over.Many of the cafe's patrons were terrified of being implicated in the men's fight. So, they fled out the door.The cafe owner, who was on the second floor, phoned the police immediately.Since the cafe was in the city center, the police arrived soon after. They forced Emmett and Edoardo, who were both seeing red, apart. Then, they brought the two back to the police station.Emmett's gauze bandage had come off his forehead during the fight, revea

Emmett had contacted many people before finally getting someone to bail him out. He roamed the streets aimlessly, not knowing where to go. Just the thought of everything that had happened these days left his chest burning in agony.Boundless regret suffocated him from the inside.He desperately wanted to return to when Isla confessed her feelings for the 99th time. He wished he had agreed to date her and revealed he felt the same way. None of the recent chaos would have happened if he had done that.Isla wouldn't have abandoned him, and they could have settled down together.Alas, the cold night's breeze and rain rudely snapped him out of his daydream. He gazed up at the endless drizzle and finally realized things had reached a point beyond repair.Even so, he refused to give up.Emmett had crushed on Isla for two years. He waited two years for her, so he refused to end up empty-handed. He swore to do everything to win Isla back. Similar to when Isla pursued him, he planned to

Emmett followed Isla's camping group to the outskirts. He was on the other side of the river from them and could see everything clearly. There were seven to eight foreign exchange students having a barbecue together. They seemed lively as they chatted, hung out, and played games.Emmett couldn't blend in with them, so he could only watch from afar. Yet, he felt more panicked as he watched them. That was because Wayne was always beside Isla, regardless of what she was doing. Wayne and Isla were never more than ten footsteps apart. In fact, they were getting closer by the minute.The way they were unusually close sparked jealousy in Emmett. He eagerly wanted to storm over and take Isla away. However, he knew that would only piss Isla off. Emmett didn't want his relationship with Isla to remain tense. He couldn't risk doing anything that would worsen the situation. So, he could only tolerate the complicated emotions that gnawed at his heart and tell himself to endure things.That

Isla thought Emmett would give up for good once she clarified everything to him. However, she quickly realized no amount of reasoning would get through to or work on Emmett. In the next few months, Isla would always see Emmett within a 65 feet radius of her whenever she left her apartment. Emmett would even show up with trinkets and gifts to confess his feelings to Isla every few days.Isla had lost count of how many times he did those things. That said, she remained unfazed by his obsessive and disturbing behavior. Isla pretended not to notice him to the best of her abilities.If she couldn't bring herself to ignore him, she would call for security and have them kick him out for disrupting the peace.After several instances, the entire university knew about Emmett in no time. They also learned about his stalking incidents. Hence, people gossiped about him wherever he went.Even so, Emmett was unbothered by it. He just focused on chasing after Isla.

Once Emmett returned to the country, he contacted Isla through several people to send her a message. He asked if she was pretending to be in a relationship or if she genuinely liked her new boyfriend. However, Isla didn't respond.She had seen Emmett's true nature by now. Although Emmett claimed to have feelings for her, the truth was he only cared about himself. In his eyes, she was nothing more than an accessory to show off to others and fluff his ego until it was beyond normal.Emmett saw himself as a desirable figure with many suitors who willingly let him walk all over them. To him, he was almighty. It was a twisted mindset.No matter how much Isla explained and proved her innocence, Emmett would only think she was making up excuses. That was why Isla couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind, nor would she talk to him anymore. It wouldn't matter if he proved his devotion to her a hundred times or more. Isla would never spare him another glance again.She didn't need to was

"Firstly, I want to remind you out of goodwill that the air is dry during winter. Extinguish all flames once your candlelight confession ends, lest you start trouble."Upon hearing that, Emmett looked up and saw one of the dead leaves swirling in the wind.Isla resumed, "Secondly, I have some good news. I'm dating someone again. My current boyfriend is hotter than the last one, so you can stop confessing now."Those simple sentences kept echoing in Emmett's mind.All at once, it felt like he had been cursed. Those words echoed in his mind so much that a sharp pain spread across his forehead. The immense pain left him devoid of any strength. With a loud thud, his phone fell and slammed onto the table.Unfortunately, Emmett had tied the candlesticks with thin threads to ensure an even distance between each. One candlestick fell, pulling on the threads and causing the others to fall over, too.Hot flames spread onto the dead leaves and feathers on the ground. It then traveled towa

Emmett had been through so much that Isla's words no longer fazed him. He even regrouped himself and continued to confess his feelings to her. His confessions went on from the 50th to the 99th time, occurring over late summer to the middle of winter.Isla was unaffected by his spectacular floral arrangements, vibrant fireworks, and romantic messages spelled out in the sky with drones.Instead, she felt relieved that everyone around her had gotten used to addressing her by her Eldran name by now. Few knew that she was the Isla who often received romantic confessions from Emmett.At that rate, Emmett had run out of ways to express his love for Isla. He was becoming helpless since his 99 confessions had failed to move Isla. In the end, he came up with an idea after receiving a reminder from his friends.Emmett chose to confess in a small park at Isla's university. He set up an elaborate display of dominoes, which formed the scene of their first meeting. He also hung many fairy lights

Emmett was down for the longest time because of that.He would get drunk at the bar alone, drinking himself silly every night without anyone to care about him. When he awoke every day, he would look at his barren environment and can't help but sink into intense sorrow.Emmett had left his home and was alone in this country with no family or friends. Plus, he had to endure the pain of an unreciprocated love. All those things formed a tight knot in his heart that couldn't be undone.Sometimes, when he got drunk, he felt the urge to ask Isla to break up with her boyfriend. Yet, he lost the courage to approach her whenever he saw her holding hands and beaming at her boyfriend.Emmett had known Isla for two years, but he had never seen Isla smile so happily before. That was because Isla's time with Emmett wasn't even considered average. To be precise, she had gone through so much hell during her days with Emmett that it was painful to even think about.Emmett was already in agony fro
