"Woah, how do you manage to get more beautiful every day?" He asked flirtatiously, and I smiled. Richard was young, handsome, and rich. He has light hair and eyes, is tall and charismatic, and since I met him until today, he has been a complete savior for me. Richard helped me when I needed it most

Laura My hands were shaking as I pressed the ceramic tile on the bathroom sink. I was breathing in and out deeply, trying to control my emotions. I wasn't going to let my traumas defeat me like that, I was going to fight. Everything in the Charme restaurant reminded me of Jason and how our story
"Time has done you good, Laura. You look stunning," he said, still looking at me. "Holy crap, I still can't believe I finally found you." Richard, who was next to me, laughed lightly and commented, "That's curious, first this place and then you, it seems that Laura never stops surprising me." He wa

LauraAt that moment, not even Richard could stop me, he saw that something was very wrong there, and he could see that I was uncomfortable with the whole situation, so even though at first he thought that Jason Davies was my salvation, now he certainly was no longer thinking this. I was still look
Jason After I had been looking for this woman for so long, at the first opportunity I had, I ruined everything and chased her away. I had dreamed so much about this moment when I would see her again; I had rehearsed so much in front of the mirror; I had chosen the right words that wouldn't hurt h

As we walked, I thought about what Abby had said. It wasn't Caleb who mattered; it was the betrayal of a friendship I thought would last forever. The pain of losing that trust was still fresh, and perhaps that was why I didn't want to think about Caleb at all. But at the same time, there was a part
Annie POV I watched my parents' car drive away with a sense of sadness; part of me wanted to go with them and give up on everything, but I was also excited to start a new life at Oxwell. The sound of the engine fading into the distance seemed to carry away a piece of my childhood, leaving me with a

Annie POV When I saw Abby walking into the dorm, I recoiled, all the happiness of that day cooling instantly. So Abby would be the girl to take the third room? My mother and Abby's mother went to have a private conversation, leaving us girls alone. Abby and I stared at each other impassively, with
Laura POV After helping Annie arrange her new room, we went together to help Summer as well. The flat was starting to feel like a home, full of personality and expectations. We finished up and sat in the living room while I waited for Jason and the twins to return. Summer, with her natural enthusi

Annie POV After dinner, Summer and I returned to my room. Night was falling, and a fresh sense of expectation seemed to settle in with the darkness. The lamp next to my bed gave the room a soft, almost magical glow. "Let's do a skincare session before we go to bed?" Summer suggested, already getti
Annie POV We were called for dinner, and as we went downstairs, I found my parents in the dining room with the twins. "Sit here next to me, Summer," Daniel invited with a little smirk, patting the chair beside him. "No, sit next to me; it's better, beautiful," Stephen also invited her, making poo
