LEXI'S POVI slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by Chase’s peaceful face. I couldn’t move right away because he was holding me tightly, his face was so close to mine. Thankfully, he was still sound asleep.I bit my lip. I really did stay over at his condo.Flashback"I'm used to sleeping on the floor as long as there’s a mat," I said to Chase with a smile when we got back to his condo.He frowned. "What? No. We’ll sleep together tonight," he said seriously.Chase had been in a serious mood ever since we left the bar’s parking lot. I didn’t know why his demeanor suddenly shifted. I didn’t know what to think or do, and instead of feeling comfortable around him, I began to feel uneasy again.He walked over to his bed and fixed the sheets that had been messed up earlier. I couldn’t help but recall what had happened earlier. I felt my face heating up again at the thought."Come," he said after finishing."I need to shower first, but I don’t have clothes to change into," I said hesitantl

SHIELA'S POVA hard slap jolted me awake. I quickly sat up and faced the audacious person who dared interrupt my sleep, but all my irritation vanished when I realized it was Mama."Good thing I woke you up immediately," she said angrily.I held my head as a sudden pang of pain hit me. I wasn’t fully aware yet due to how abruptly she woke me, and I couldn’t understand why she was upset."Do you not remember what happened last night?" she added.What happened last night? I tried to recall everything. From what I remember, I was with Jenny at her bar. Then, bit by bit, everything became clearer. I froze in my seat, unsure if I was dreaming or not."Mama, where is Lexi?" I quickly asked her.Her brows furrowed. "Of all people, she’s the one you’re worried about?"I grabbed Mama’s hand urgently. "Mama, listen to me. I don’t know if it was a dream, but Lexi—she was with Chase last night."Another slap landed on my cheek. Mama was fuming, and I couldn’t figure out why."You disappointed your

LEXI'S POV"Lexi, go back inside and apologize to your sister and father so they won’t send you out of the country," Nanny Linda said, crying.I slowly shook my head. The driver was busy loading my two suitcases into the car while I stood outside the house, unable to move."What story did Shiela make up this time?" I asked Nanny Linda instead.Papa was furious, so it was impossible that my sister hadn’t said something outrageous. I thought she’d only tell Papa about Chase, but clearly, I was wrong. I didn’t want Papa to disown me, but I also didn’t want to leave the country because it would ruin my plans. Leaving the country is a great advantage for my half-sister and stepmother. They will surely win this battle if I leave. Now I was torn about what to do.Chase wasn’t with me. He had dropped me off, and I hadn’t allowed him to face Papa yet. He agreed to my request and went home immediately after."She said you put something in her drink last night, causing her to come home unconscio

SHIELA'S POVThis can’t be happening. There’s no way they’re back together. Lexi can’t win again. Chase should only be mine. They need to be separated again. I can't let all of this happen. Not over my body.“Just calm yourself, Shiela,” Mama whispered, gripping my hand tightly.But I ignored her. My gaze was fixed on Lexi with pure hatred. She was the reason why Chase kept pushing me away. She was still the obstacle to all my plans.“Chase, what is the meaning of this?” Papa asked Chase, clearly confused.Lexi glanced at me and smiled, which only fueled my rage. I couldn’t hold myself back anymore—I walked toward her, fury boiling over. As I moved closer, I grabbed Mama’s flower vase. Without a second thought, I hurled it at Lexi with all my strength.But Chase was faster. He pulled Lexi out of the way, and the vase shattered loudly across the floor.“Shiela!” Mama screamed at me.I didn’t pay attention to her. My focus remained on Lexi. I couldn’t allow her to take everything from m

LEXI'S POVAs Chase and I had agreed, I went back with him to his condo. I sent a message to Papa, telling him that I’d be temporarily leaving the house. Based on his reaction earlier, I knew he wouldn’t stop me from leaving. It was probably for the best, to bring some peace to the house for now.The entire ride was quiet. Chase didn’t bother me, likely knowing that I wasn’t okay after everything that had happened. Don’t get me wrong—I was pleased with Shiela’s reaction earlier, and I knew I’d shaken her world a bit. But I couldn’t bring myself to feel happy about Papa’s reaction. I should be used to him siding with Shiela by now, but it still hurt every time.I have also decided not to go to work today. I informed Savina about it, but when she started calling me, I turned off my phone. I wasn’t ready to share what happened, and I just wanted some peace and quietness. Chase had responsibilities at their company today, and I understood that. I planned to just stay in his condo and sort

THIRD POVShiela’s condition had stabilized, much to the relief of Ricky and Minda. Although their daughter was still unconscious, the doctor assured them she was out of danger. It was simply extreme stress that caused her to faint.“What are you going to do, Ricky?” Minda asked her husband seriously.“We can’t interfere or dictate to the children when it comes to matters like this,” Ricky replied.Minda looked at her husband in disbelief. “You’re just going to let our daughter suffer while Lexi gets to be happy? Are you really okay with seeing our daughter miserable?”“Minda, Shiela will only suffer more if we push through with the arrangement. It was obvious that Chase could not love her. She’ll just end up even more hurt,” Ricky said firmly.“If my daughter can’t be happy, then Lexi doesn’t deserve to be happy either,” Minda said angrily.“Do you even hear yourself, Minda? What do you want me to do? Separate the two of them? I already have enough problems at the company—don’t add t

LEXI'S POVI woke up to the sensation of a kiss on my forehead. When I opened my eyes, I saw Chase staring at me. He smiled, which made me sit up quickly. I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep.“How long have you been here?” I asked him.“I just got here,” he answered briefly.“Sorry, I fell asleep. Where is Chelsea?” I asked again.“She just stepped out for a moment.”I glanced back at Chase. He was still wearing his polo shirt, but his necktie was gone. His hair was messy, and his clothes were crumpled. His smile didn’t reach his eyes, and I couldn’t stop myself from asking him.“Is there something wrong?” I asked.“Are you hungry? Let’s eat,” he said, abruptly changing the topic.He was about to walk out of the room, but I quickly grabbed his hand. He stopped but didn’t turn to face me.“Grey, tell me,” I said with courage.He turned to me and knelt, so our faces were level because I was still sitting on the bed.“Let’s get married, Lexi Ann,” he said desperately.“What?” I asked, a

THIRD POVShiela had been discharged from the hospital and returned home, but she remained unusually quiet. Ricky was deeply concerned about his daughter’s behavior but couldn’t do much for now. Despite his reluctance, he left the house to go to his office, trusting his wife to stay and look after her daughter.Once Shiela was certain that her father had left, she quickly went to the kitchen where her mother was currently cooking.“Mom, what’s the news?” she asked urgently.“It’s not good, but don’t worry. I’m working on it. For now, just continue acting withdrawn and quiet whenever you’re around with your father. He needs to feel how much this is affecting you so he won’t approve of the wedding,” Minda explained at length.Brenna sighed and shook her head slightly. She couldn’t believe everything that had happened. But she was sure of one thing: Lexi was in love with James now. So, she was baffled as to how her half-sister and Chase had gotten back together. Something didn’t feel rig

THIRD POVLexi was about to reach for Gino’s hand to go with him when they both froze—Shiela’s cell phone suddenly rang. They simultaneously turned to look at the young woman as she fished the phone out of her bag. Lexi was suddenly filled with anxiety for a reason she couldn't quite explain.“Yes, Charlene?” Shiela answered the call.“You fool! Where are you right now? Have you got Lexi yet?” Charlene asked nervously.“Why? What’s wrong?” Shiela asked, confused.“My god, Shiela! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let you use my people. I might get dragged into your family’s mess,” Charlene snapped.“Wait, wait—what are you talking about?”“Don’t you know yet? Your mother is already in police custody. She’s being charged with murder.”Shiela turned pale at the news. Her heartbeat quickened with fear, and her hands began to sweat.“A-are you sure about that?”"Shiela, it’s on national TV. The whole country knows what your mother did, and Chase’s mother is involved, too.

THIRD POVShiela gave a bitter smile upon hearing the voice of the man who had hurt her repeatedly. The sweet, affectionate tone he used with her just days ago was now gone. It was all an act—to get information about her mother.“Relax. There’s no need to get mad, Chase. They’re safe for now,” she said emotionlessly.“Don’t you dare hurt them,” Chase said, panic in his voice.She smiled again and sighed deeply. “You’ve got some nerve to say that to me now. You lied to me and gave me false hope. All those lies—for what? To get information?”“And why would I get information from you? Do you even know what really happened with the fire in my condo back then?” Chase shot back.Shiela froze, still burning with rage. She took a deep breath as the man she had called earlier finally arrived. He was panting, clearly having run a long way to reach the location. She gave him a faint smile and turned her attention back to the person on the phone.“I’m sure you won’t report this to the police. Eve

THIRD POVChase’s office was thick with tension. His father and his sister Chelsea were there. Spread out on his table were the pieces of evidence he had gathered to strengthen the case he filed against his stepmother and her lover, Minda. His father examined them one by one, while he and Chelsea waited in silence for his reaction.“Papa, I’m sorry that this is how you had to find out everything,” he finally broke the silence.Chelsea stepped closer to him and held his hand tightly. He was immensely grateful to his sister; despite the pain of everything happening, she still chose to stand by what was right. Now, all he hoped was that their father would do the same.Carlo slowly set the papers down and let out a deep sigh. “I never thought my wife would go this far,” he said, clearly dismayed.The siblings exchanged glances. Their father was calm. He didn’t even look surprised—almost as if he already knew all of it.“Papa,” Chelsea called softly.“I’ve known for a long time that your m

THIRD POV"I didn’t expect that we’d meet here."Gino turned toward the woman who suddenly spoke. He wasn’t surprised to see who it was—he could never forget the voice of the woman he hurt because of his deep love for Lexi."Savina," he murmured softly.Savina stepped closer to the grave and gently placed the flowers she had brought for her friend. A bitter smile crossed her face—after all these years, the first man she had ever loved was standing there, at her best friend’s final resting place."May I ask why you're here?" she couldn't help but ask.Gino let out a sigh. "Lexi was my friend too."Savina took a deep breath and turned to face Gino, who was staring off into the distance. She couldn’t miss the empty beer bottles beside him. His appearance had also changed drastically—so different from how he looked on his social media accounts.“It’s been eight years, right? Don’t you think it’s about time you finally tell me the real reason you broke up with me back then?” she said, gath

LEXI'S POV“Chase.”Chase and I both turned to Chelsea when she called him. We had just finished eating breakfast. Chelsea still hadn’t gone home ever since she found out about her mother. She had asked her brother to cover for her so that Uncle Carlo wouldn’t worry.Chelsea had been speaking to us again, but not the same way as before. There was now a wall between the two of us, which I completely understood. I couldn’t blame her for how she was acting towards me and Chase. What mattered now was that she still trusted us.“Can I come with you today? I just want to see Papa.”Chase and I looked at each other. I nodded, showing that I agreed with what Chelsea wanted. I trusted her enough to know that she wouldn’t tell anyone I was alive.“Are you ready to see her?” Chase asked seriously.Chelsea lowered her head, and I didn’t miss how her fists clenched. “I need to accept it, right? No matter what I do, the past won’t change. And just like you, Chase, I only want all this chaos to end.

THIRD POV"Gino, where the hell are you now?"Gino pulled his phone away from his ear as his sister Charlene shouted at him. This was one of the reasons he often hesitated to answer her calls—he knew she was just looking for him."I'm heading home soon," he replied quietly."Wait—are you drunk again?" she asked angrily.He smiled faintly. "Don’t worry. I can go home. Bye."He didn’t wait for Charlene’s response and quickly ended the call. He returned the phone to his pocket and took another swig from the bottle he had been holding for a while. It had lost its chill, and he winced at the bitter taste.“If I had known that would be our last conversation, I would’ve made the most of it,” he said sadly, staring at the tombstone he visited nearly every day. Tears fell again as he took another sip of beer.GINO'S POV (FLASHBACK)Shiela’s bullying was a normal thing in our school. On the first day of class, I was just quietly observing while waiting for Chase. I was looking at the school gat

THIRD POVThe whole day passed, and Shiela tried several times to call and talk to Chase, but he never answered her calls. She spent the entire day sitting in the park, still hoping the young man would call her back—but she was disappointed. She had almost no tears left to cry after that morning’s emotional breakdown. She never imagined being hurt like this, thinking fate had finally started favoring her.She couldn’t understand why all of this was happening to her. Everyone she thought she could trust had been deceiving her. The life she thought was blessed turned out to be more complicated than Lexi’s.Shiela went home in a daze and gave a bitter smile when she saw her mother and Anna eating together at the house. When Anna saw her, she immediately stood up.“It’s good you’re here. Come, eat with us,” the woman said with a smile.“Your Aunt Anna cooked your favorite dish, dear,” her mother added.She turned her back on the two women. “I’m just going to see Papa.”She didn’t let them

SHIELA'S POVI didn’t even know what had happened anymore—I just suddenly found myself inside my car, parked not too far from the TAC building. I was simply staring at the entrance and exit. I didn’t know whether I should tell Trevor what I’d found out. I had no idea how he’d react once he learned that Lexi’s death wasn’t an accident.My life was starting to become smooth again. Things were going well between Chase and me, but after what my mom confessed, I wasn’t sure if it would all come crashing down. Even from the grave, my half-sister continued to bring chaos into my life. I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t just disappear from my path.My thoughts were cut short when I saw Chase come out of the building and head straight to his car. I wanted to talk to him, but he seemed to be in a rush. I tried calling him again, but he didn’t pick up.“What the h*ll, Chase?” I muttered to myself, frowning. I saw him glance at his phone when I called—but instead of answering, he just put it

THIRD POVBecause of what they talked about, Shiela immediately went to her mother’s office. She had now realized that only Chase could help her. As much as she didn’t want to believe that Lexi was haunting them, she couldn’t think of any other explanation for her mother’s strange behavior. That’s why she needed to talk to her mother and convince her to visit the faith healer Chase had consulted.When she arrived at her mother’s office, she was surprised to see Chase’s mother, Anna, there. She couldn’t help but wonder why the two women have been seeing each other more frequently lately. She wanted to feel happy that they were seemingly getting along—it was a huge advantage for her in winning over Chase—but she felt the opposite. She wasn’t happy, for reasons she couldn’t quite explain.“Sweetheart, do you need something?” her mother asked in surprise.Her gaze shifted between the two women. She didn’t want to assume anything improper, but she had walked in on them holding hands. She h
