Zoe's P.O.V.

Sky grabs my arms and yanks me closer to him. "No, I don't want to forget it because it wasn't a mistake for me, Trouble." He moves closer to my face, making my heartbeat race, his intense gaze fixed on me.

What is happening to me? Why is he behaving like this? We're best friends. How can things change so drastically between us? It was just a kiss that happened in the heat of the moment. Why can't he understand?

He questions, "Didn't I give you a chance to push me away last night, Zoe?" As I remain silent, he repeats the question, his tone firm. "Didn't I?"

"Yes, you did," I admit in a low voice.

"And did you push me away?" he presses, his grip tightening slightly, making my heart race even faster.

I shake my head. "No, I didn't."

"Why?" He raises his brows at me.

I keep staring at him mutely because I don't have an answer to his question. I don't know why I didn't push him away.

He withdraws his hands from my arms and clasps my face. "You didn't push me away because you

    Sky's P.O.V.Damn! What did I do?Instead of explaining my feelings, I started asserting my right over her. It's as if possessiveness took over me when I saw Liam leaving her apartment.

    Zoe's P.O.V.Sky's eyes soften as he sees my reaction. "Zoe, I know it's a lot. Seriously, I didn't mean to invade your privacy, but I walked in on you by accident. I came to your apartment to surprise you, and what I saw that night changed my feelings for you, Zoe. From that moment, every cell in my body has desired you and only you. I even tried to get you out of my mind, but I couldn't. I stopped doing one-night stands because you're the only one on my mind."Sky saw me using the vibrator? This is too much."When I saw you with Liam, I couldn't control my jealousy. It made me realise that it's beyond just desire; it's something else, something I've never felt for any other woman. I wanted to kill Liam, and I would have done anything to be with you. Do you have any idea how difficult it has been for me to control my feelings and hide them from you for this past month? It's been torturous, and I can't keep pretending anymore."He continues to confess his feelings, but I keep staring

    Zoe's P.O.V.The next day, I am lost in my thoughts, still trying to process everything. I can't get what Sky did out of my mind, and I miss him terribly.As I step out of my apartment building, my mind is miles away, and I don't even notice the sign that the lift is under construction. Absentmindedly, I step into the elevator and press the button for the ground floor.Suddenly, the elevator jolts and comes to a stop. The lights flicker, and I feel my heart leap into my throat. Panic sets in as I realise the elevator is stuck."Help! Someone, please help!" I shout, banging on the doors. But no one seems to hear me. My breath becomes heavy, and I feel the walls closing in on me.I fumble for my phone and quickly dial Selena's number. To my dismay, her phone goes straight to voicemail. "No, no, no," I mutter, trying to keep my composure.I stare at my phone, wondering whether to call Sky. For the first time, I'm thinking of reaching out to him for help because the pain of betrayal is st

    Zoe's P.O.V. It's been a week since I got stuck in the elevator and called Sky's friend instead of him. I still clearly remember the hurt in his eyes that day, but it's his fault we're in this situation now. I haven't been talking to Sky, and he's been giving me space. During class, I catch him looking at me with longing in his eyes. I know I'm hurting him, but I need time to figure out what I truly want. How can I forget he lied to me? "He did this because he didn't want to lose you, Zoe. You mean a lot to him," a voice inside me whispers. But then another part of me counters, "He threatened Liam and kept it a secret. How can you trust him again?" Deep down, I feel guilty for avoiding him. He was always there for me whenever I needed someone, and I know he didn't deserve this. He hid the truth because he was afraid our friendship would be ruined, and now I'm making his fear a reality. But what am I supposed to do? I can't forget how he acted so innocent when I told him someone h

    Zoe's P.O.V.As I enter the college pool party with Selena, I see Liam approaching me. I don't know why, but I feel like running away. Maybe it's because of Sky's warning."Take as much time as you need, Trouble. But don't forget that if you let Liam get close to you again, I'll forget that I'm controlling my desires."His words have been engraved in my mind. One thing I've become certain about now: I can never get my old Sky back. We can never be the same as before, and it hurts.However, I know it isn't his fault. He tried to control his desires, but they were too strong to be contained now.Last night, as I was looking through our photos, I realised just how happy we were when we were together.

Today, I'll make sure she knows she belongs to me and no one else.As I close the door, the sound echoes in the quiet room, and I turn toward her. She looks at me with anticipation.Damn! It's such a relief to know that she desires me as much as I desire her.I can't even express in words what was happening to me when she was clenching her thighs, ogling at my body by the pool. I arouse her as much as she arouses me.Now, every time I look at her, I wonder how we stayed just friends all these years. She looks too tempting in her white crop top and skirt.

But nothing could have prepared me for the sight before me.My heart almost stops beating as I see her—my Zoe. She’s beaten up, her face bruised and swollen, her clothes tattered.

The minutes feel like hours as I wait for news about my father. My heart is pounding, and I can't stop my hands from trembling. Finally, the doctor emerges from the double doors. I rush over to him. "Doctor, how is he? Is he okay?" The doctor's expression is serious but calm. "Your father had a heart attack. We were able to stabilize him, but he needs rest and must be kept away from stress. You can see him now, but try not to upset him." I enter my father's room and see him lying there, looking pale and fragile. As I approach him, he whispers weakly, "Sky," reaching out for my hand. I take it and squeeze it gently. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen." He shakes his head slightly. "It's not your fault, son. But please, listen to me.

How did I get here?As I wonder, I recall opening the villa's door, shocked to see a few men standing there. Before I could ask anything, one of them hit me with the end of a gun on my forehead, and I blacked out instantly.I struggle to sit up, my hands trembling in fear. The air is damp and musty, and I can hear the distant sound of water dripping. I can't see much, but I can feel the cold, hard floor beneath me. I'm afraid. The darkness around me is terrifying.Why would anyone do this to me? Who are these men? What do they want? I don't even know anybody in Ibiza.I walk over to the door, my heart pounding in my chest. I press my ear against it, trying to hear any sounds from the other side, but all I get is silence.The fear is making my entire body shiver, but I know I have to find a way out and stay strong, even though I don't

Her phone has been switched off since she left, and when we traced her number, the last location it showed was our penthouse.She didn't just leave me; she left everything behind to save me. Her studies, her apartment, her friends—everything she built for herself. It's like she disappeared into thin air.The doctors still weren't ready to discharge me, but I begged them. I need to find Zoe. I was going crazy lying in the hospital bed, not knowing where she was.God! Please keep her safe.

I want to be with her," I express my concern to Alex. It's been twenty hours since Selena told me that Zoe left the penthouse after locking her in. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this.When Selena told me that Zoe wasn't in the right state of mind and was constantly blaming herself for my condition, I wished I could be there with her to explain that she shouldn't run away like this. She shouldn't leave me because of her fear. She's thinking completely wrong.Fuck! I'm already missing her. My life becomes dull when she's not around me.I run a hand through my hair, aggravated.

    Zoe's P.O.V.Selena's voice echoes through the penthouse. "Zoe?"So it's Selena. Sky must have sent her to check on me. I shouldn't have left so hurriedly. Now she won't let me go. But I've made up my mind, and it won't change.Grasping the handle of my suitcase, I take a deep breath, trying to compose myself. As I wipe my tears, Selena comes toward me, her eyes filled with concern."Zoe, what the hell are you doing?" Selena asks, her gaze shifting to the packed bag beside me. "You're not seriously thinking of leaving, are you?"I avert my eyes, can't able to meet her gaze. "Selena, you already know it's for the best. Sky will be better off without me.""No, he won't," she insists, stepping closer. "Zoe, you're thinking wrong. Sky needs you. He loves you more than anything. It's not right.

Every corner of the apartment is filled with memories of us.I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him here, but deep inside, I knew that happiness wasn't written in my cards. God would take Sky away from me, just as I lost my family. I was certain that destiny would play this cruel trick on me.As I step into the living room, I picture Sky chasing me because I stole the last piece of pizza. "Trouble, we had a deal to split this last piece," I recall him saying. I replied, "I don't remember any such deal." His laughter echoes in my mind—a sound I desperately long to hear again.As I walk into the dining area, I see myself sitting on his lap, giggling while he feeds me, teasing me."Sky, stop it! I can feed myself." I laughed, trying to grab the fork from him. "But you're such a messy eater," Sky teased, holding the fork just out of my reach
