GERALD'S POV

I stood in front of my mirror staring at my outfit with uncertainty. Now that Paula and I weren’t on speaking terms, I wasn’t completely sure about what I was wearing. Usually, I wouldn’t care what I wore, especially if it concerned important occasions regarding my father. But this time was different. I was going with Silvia. I had to look good.

I checked my diamond-encrusted watch and decided to leave. It was getting late. I took my black blazer and left my room. I came to a stop in front of Paula’s room, and just as I was about to knock, her door flew open. Her eyes aligned with mine, and they were not happy. My eyes trailed down her body, and I could not lie: she looked amazing. She was always in shorts and jeans; it was almost impossible to catch her in a dress.

The light blue material hugged her body like a second skin. It stopped at her upper thigh, revealing her perfectly tanned legs. Her stilettos and makeup matched the color of her outfit, and her dark hair fell

    GERALD'S POV "Luckily, none of her vital organs were damaged. But she lost a lot of blood and will have to spend a few days under supervision." I think that's what the doctor said because I wasn’t even listening. I didn’t give a damn about anything. All I wanted was for Silvia to show me those pretty eyes of hers and look at me like she always did. Like I was the craziest person in the world.But that was too much of a dream, and the facts still remained. I was the one who brought her out tonight. She was on this fucking hospital bed because of me. Why in hell did I think it was a good idea to get close to her? Apart from Paula, everyone I have ever cared about ended up six feet beneath the earth before I even got the chance to tell them I loved them.And no, I don’t love Silvia.I just… I don’t know. I like her a lot.My grip on her hand tightened a bit, but not enough to hurt her. Paula was outside speaking to the head of security at the ball. They better find out who did this and

    GERALD'S POV The regret in Silvia’s eyes as I pulled away turned those few seconds of bliss into a nightmare.She shut her eyes as though she could not bear to look at me; it hurt a lot more than I wished it did. I pulled my face away from hers and sat beside her on the chair. We stayed together in awkward silence, and I would occasionally shoot her a sideways glance. I really wanted us to talk about the kiss, but the way her eyes inspected every inch of the ceiling told me she wanted to forget it as soon as possible.But surely she should have felt what I felt when our lips met. Or am I just sick again?I sighed before deciding to ask, "Do you want some food?" Instead of giving me a verbal response because I really wanted to hear her voice right now, she nodded. I shot to my feet and walked towards the door. I did not want to leave her alone for even a second, but I had to get her something to eat or I would end up watching over a corpse.I shut the door behind me and was surprised

    SILVIA'S POV After Gerald showed up at the hospital with a bruise on his face with the rest of the team, we quickly finished up everything we needed to do. Gerald refused to tell me about how he got the bruise; as a matter of fact, he seemed to be avoiding me. I tried briefing him on what we did in the first half of the project, but he said he preferred Jessica to tutor him.Whatever the hell that meant.And to be honest, I didn’t really ponder much about it, especially with the never-ending questions Jessica kept throwing at me as to why I was lying on a hospital bed. The girl never did shut up. It was like the more I answered her questions, the more curious she became. What annoyed me the most was that I knew she didn’t care about me. To others, it might look like she did. But Paula was not the only one who could read people.Eventually, Jessica let it slide, and we put the finishing touches to our project. I occasionally caught Jessica staring at either me or Gerald, like she was

    GERALD'S POV "Hey, Paula, there’s something I need to tell you." was the first thing I said as I entered my apartment. I was beyond exhausted after the events of the day. After Silvia had seen Jessica and I kissing, she vanished once again. She really was a master at that. I couldn’t even look at Jessica once she pulled away from me. I don’t know what made me not push her away. Maybe it was the comfort or the surprise of her actions. Or maybe I was just too stunned to move.I have kissed many girls, but with Jessica it felt different. It felt wrong.I couldn’t get the image of Silvia’s teary eyes out of my head. Why was she crying? Maybe she…. No, she couldn’t have feelings for me. She had a boyfriend, right? God, when did my life get so complicated?"Sure, what’s up?" Paula said, turning around on the high stool before the counter. I couldn’t help but admire how calm and relaxed she looked. She wore a pair of dark baggy jeans and a sweatshirt. Her hair was down and tangled, but she

    SILVIA'S POV I groaned after hearing the knock on my door. I really did not want to move, I like where I am. Today has been nothing but a tornado of emotions, and all that is left is the damage. And I mean literal damage. The second I got home, I practically threw everything that I had on me. That included my bag, keys, clothes, and underwear. Then I just sat in the warm bathtub and played with the bubbles.Best stress reliever in the world, I’ll tell you that.And whoever was outside my door only wanted to give me more stress, both physically by getting up to answer the door and emotionally from whatever nonsense was going to come out of their mouth. They didn’t seem like they were willing to leave anytime soon because they have been hammering on my door for the past twenty minutes. My skin was beyond soaked now, and the water was getting cold.With a sigh, I took my time before getting out of the shower and putting on my favorite white, fluffy robe. I made sure to waste as much tim

    Silvia’s PovInhaling sharply, I raised my hand and knocked on the familiar white door softly. I don’t know what I was doing at Gerald’s place at the tenth hour of the evening, but it was one of those very few things I did that I just could not explain. Maybe it had something to do with the other night when he showed up at my apartment. The way he looked at me, it hurt. I tried texting him several times but he wouldn’t pick up; he wasn’t in school either, so here I was again. Making sure he was okay.The door flew open, and I was met with a pair of deep blue orbs, but what surprised me was the redness at the corners. His hair was a mess, and he seemed to have more bruises than the last time I saw him. "Are you by any chance an underground boxer?" is what I found myself asking."Something like that," he chuckled as his lips lifted slightly. There was a brief pause between us. The silence was not awkward, but it wasn’t exactly comforting either."Uh, you came to my apartment wanting to

    GERALD'S POV Where were these women?!Why was it, when I finally won, that the two of them left? They didn’t even stay to watch my victory. Now I was hauling a three-foot teddy bear all over the park and looking like a lost cow. Where the hell did they go? Were they together? That was highly unlikely, and even if they were, they would probably be killing each other by now. Actually, it would be more like Paula is killing Silvia. She didn’t exactly like Silvia, and she was stronger than her. I had to find them fast.I searched the entire park, and after thirty minutes my feet were killing me, and this teddy bear might as well be half my size. I considered getting rid of it, but then all my hard work would go to waste. Yes, it took a hell lot of concentration to actually hit those bullseyes.I felt a lot lighter when my eyes aligned with a familiar pair of silver eyes. I practically ran towards her; as I got closer to her, I realized that her eyes didn’t stay in one place. They were gl

    SILVIA'S POV I haven’t been able to shut my eyes for the past two days.It’s been two days since I did what I did. I couldn’t even admit it to myself. It felt so wrong after I did it. It wasn’t the first time I had done something like that, so why was I feeling this way? Her hatred filled her eyes, and her last words were still embedded in my memory."He will never forgive you for this."He will—that’s if he ever finds out, which he won’t. Whatever it was I was feeling would go soon. I hope.Josiah rubbed my back in an attempt to be comforting, but it wasn’t working. I called him last night and told him I couldn’t sleep, and despite what happened between the both of us two nights ago, he still came. We did not fuck or anything. He just hugged me and told me everything would be fine. He didn’t bother to ask what was wrong with me, and I didn’t know if that was a good or a bad thing. It felt nice knowing that he would always be there for me regardless of our situation.But I just could

    SILVIA'S POV The music faded into a distant hum, drowned out by the pounding of my heartbeat in my ears. I stared at Gerald as we danced, his hands firm on my waist, his grip colder than ice. The warmth that once lived in his eyes was gone, replaced by something hollow, something dark.“You’re a good liar,” he murmured against my ear, his voice laced with quiet venom.His words sent a shiver down my spine, but I didn’t break eye contact. I knew this Gerald was different—the man standing in front of me wasn’t the same person who once held me close, whispering sweet promises in the dead of night.“What are you talking about?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Gerald chuckled, the sound bitter and empty. “Look at you, Silvia,” he said, spinning me slowly. “Dressed up like the perfect student, pretending to be just another normal girl at her high school prom. But we both know what you really are.”I swallowed hard. “Gerald, please,” I said, gripping his arm. “I don’t want that li

    SILVIA'S POV Weeks had passed.Weeks without Gerald.Since that night—since the moonlight had illuminated his cold, distant eyes as he nearly ran me over—I hadn’t seen or heard from him. No messages. No accidental run-ins. Nothing.It was as if he had vanished again.Only this time, I knew it was intentional.I had killed his father.I had given him what he wanted—what he should have wanted.George had been a monster. A cruel, manipulative excuse for a man. Gerald had hated him more than anything. He should have been relieved.But deep down, I knew the truth.He wasn’t happy.And he never would be.Because despite all the pain George had caused him, despite all the nights Gerald had spent drinking away his rage and dreaming of a life where his father no longer existed—it was still his father.That kind of hatred runs deep, but so does the connection. No matter how much you want to sever it, there’s always a part of you that remembers.I told myself I would leave him alone.For now.B

    SILVIA'S POV I wasted no time.My hands moved swiftly, grabbing as many blades from the torture table as I could, slipping them into my pants and boots. Each cool edge pressing against my skin reminded me of what I had to do next. Get out.Then—The door burst open.Two guards stormed in, guns raised.Bang! Bang!The room exploded with the sharp crack of gunfire. Instinct took over. I lunged, grabbing George’s still-warm corpse and hoisting it in front of me as a shield.Bullets tore through his lifeless body, the impact pushing me back, but I held firm. My arms shook under the weight of the dead man, the thick scent of blood filling my nose, but I gritted my teeth and waited for the moment.The second their magazines clicked empty—I moved.Dropping George’s body, I lunged forward, my blade flashing under the dim, flickering light.The first guard barely had time to react before I plunged my knife into his throat. A choked gurgle escaped him as he staggered, crimson pouring from the

    SILVIA'S POV It was late by the time I left school.The halls were mostly empty, save for the occasional janitor pushing a mop or a few students finishing up last-minute assignments. I had spent the past few hours with Mason and Abel, catching up on what I had missed. They were patient, explaining everything in a way that almost made me forget how much time I had lost. Almost.As we stepped outside, Mason stretched, yawning. “Alright, that’s enough for today. My brain is fried.”“Yeah,” Abel agreed, stuffing his hands in his pockets. “We’ll go over the rest tomorrow. Try not to disappear again, Silvia.”I rolled my eyes, shouldering my bag. “No promises.”Mason chuckled, but Abel only shook his head. “Seriously,” he muttered, “you’ve been acting weird lately.”I didn’t respond to that.Instead, I gave them a small wave and turned toward the parking lot.The campus was eerily quiet now, the streetlights casting long shadows across the pavement. The air was crisp, carrying the distant

    SILVIA'S POV The club beneath Gerald’s apartment was still alive, pulsing with dim neon lights and the rhythmic thump of bass-heavy music. The air was thick with cigarette smoke and the cloying scent of cheap perfume. Laughter, conversation, the clinking of glasses—all of it washed over me in waves, distant and insignificant.I wove through the crowd, barely registering the faces around me. A few people glanced my way, some in recognition, others with wary curiosity. I didn’t slow down. My mind was already fixated on what lay beyond the dark staircase at the back of the club.Gerald’s apartment.I climbed the stairs two at a time, my heart beating a little too fast. The door at the top was closed, just as it always had been. I reached for the handle and turned.Unlocked.I pushed the door open, stepping inside.Then I froze.The apartment was empty.Not just messy. Not just in disarray. Empty.The couch was gone. The framed photographs that once lined the walls had disappeared. The l

    SILVIA'S POV A dull, incessant beeping pulled me from the depths of unconsciousness. My eyelids felt like lead, my thoughts sluggish, as though I were wading through thick fog. The air smelled sterile—antiseptic, too clean. The lights above were too bright, their glare stabbing into my eyes like tiny knives.I tried to move, but a sharp pain lanced through my side, tearing a gasp from my lips. The pain was deep, raw, as if someone had buried fire inside me. I instinctively reached down, fingers brushing against stiff, layered bandages wrapped around my abdomen. My breath hitched.Where was I?The rhythmic beeping came from a monitor to my right, its green lines pulsing in time with my heart. IV tubes snaked from my arm, leading to a bag of clear liquid hanging from a metal stand. White sheets covered me up to my waist, tucked too tightly around me. The room was small, sterile, walls a dull shade of blue, ceiling tiles pockmarked with tiny holes. It smelled of sickness, of medicine, o

    SILVIA'S POV "Why did you bring me here?"I never thought that I would be back here after what happened last time.After I embedded a bullet in Paula’s skull.Gerald shrugs nonchalantly and says, "They sell good hot dogs and burgers here." He stepped out of the car, and I could do nothing but sit there in silence and confusion. I knew Gerald. He was rich. He was extravagant. He bought the best food or cooked at home. He would never come here."He will never forgive you for this."My heart flew out of my chest when my eyes fell on Gerald, he was staring right at me through the window. I almost missed it, but there was an emotion in his eyes that he was incredibly quick to hide. His eyebrows pulled together, and his lips formed a thin line. He was confused.I needed to get my act together. I was overreacting and becoming paranoid. I might end the day with a breakdown if I continue like this. I had to get a grip!I opened the door and smiled at Gerald warily. He was leaning against the

    SILVIA'S POV "I need to stop finding both of you like this."I was used to waking up from nightmares, but I never got used to waking up to one.My eyelids flew apart to make contact with the only man that has ever made my skin crawl with so much disgust and disdain. George stood at the foot of the bed, looking like the devil in his all black suit and tie. Other men in the room, I assume his bodyguards, but what caught my attention were the guns they all held tightly in their hands.My throat felt dry and my wide eyes slid towards Gerald. His eyes were angry and feral as they glared at his father. I looked terrified and I felt my heart skip a beat. I did not know why. His anger wasn’t directed at me, so why did I feel this way?"What are you doing here?" Gerald demanded through clenched teeth. I felt a weight on my abdomen, and it was then I realized his arm was wrapped around it protectively. The weight was on my abdomen, but the one I felt in my heart was heavier. Something did not

    GERALD'S POV I have never seen anyone so sad in my entire life.The life and light in her eyes just died when she ended that call. Her body was as still as a board, and I have absolutely no idea how she has been awake without moving for so long. Her silver orbs have been trained on my ceiling ever since. I just sat beside her, feeling so helpless, and scrolling through my phone. I was at least glad she was here when she was going through all this. Her presence was healing me just like mine was with hers.But that’s not the only thing I can be useful for."Hey, wanna get something to eat?" I asked but got no response in return. "Silver eyes?" I tried again but got nothing. I went to grab her foot, but she flinched back the moment our skin made contact. "Jesus, you are hot as lava." I was soon shuffling to my knees on the bed and coming to kneel beside her. I placed the back of my hand on her head, and she released a low hiss. "You’re burning up," I said more to myself than to her.Thi
