Adrian's POV.

Her gaze turned turned towards me, the shock on her face was obvious as she stood rooted on the spot.

"You." She muttered.

"You two know each other?" The detective broke the silence.

"We don't, and it's not important," she spat, dragging her gaze towards the detective. "What are they here for?"

"A case of abduction, take them with you," he replied. There was a way he stared at her that was so odd.

Suddenly, her words at the bar struck me.

"He is supposed to promote me with the others right? I have done more work than those that he promoted, is it because I have refused to give in to his advances?"

So this is her boss that she was talking about?

Why do I suddenly feel the urge to smack him in the face so hard that he might go blind? Such irritating fellow.

Wait? Why am I concerned about her? I feel some type of urge to protect her, despite the hard shield she was putting on as an officer, I could tell that she is really soft inside.

I turned back to face her."Where are you headed looking so furious?" She asked.I exhaled a deep breath, skeptical about telling her what I had in mind because definitely, she would advise against it."You have Nichole in mind, don't you? That's where you are headed," she said before I could even utter a word."Mom, I know it's out of place to accuse Nichole of Emily's disappearance but you know how Nichole has been towards her, she might know something," "You have

    Emily's POV.A loud hysterical laughter suddenly echoed all over the room.The voice doesn't belong to a man but a woman.I was beginning to realize that there were more than one person in the room with me. I tried to strain my eyes to at least, get a little glance at their faces since a considerable amount of light had filtered into the room, but being in the darkness for the past few days seemed to have punctured my eye lens making it seem as though I was staring into space despite how I hard I tried.But then, why does the voice sound so familiar? I mean, the darkness hasn't affected my ears too right?I quickly squeezed my eyes shut, taking in a deep breath, and remained still for a few seconds before snapping my eyes back open.That seemed to work as I started to make out a few things in the room, I got to realize that it wasn't a room but rather a warehouse, it was extremely large and empty, except for the few trashes littered around.Suddenly, a tall figure slowly squatted bef

    Adrian's POV."Uncle Liam!" Ryan and Nadia screamed as they rushed towards Liam.I had informed him about their release, he asked for my permission to come and see them and well, they are his kids right?One thing is sure, my love for them hasn't reduced an inch even after finding out that they belong to Liam, I have loved them unconditionally right from the moment I found out Emily was pregnant with them, I can't stop now. Although I don't think Emily has told Liam about them yet and it is not in my power to break it to him. Rather when she returns to us, because I do believe that we will get her back soon, then she can tell him about the kids whichever way she deemed fit. I just really can't wait to have her back, despite our fall out, she still remains precious to me. I tried to loathe her, but well, my heart already made it's choice and I can't battle it. Shortly after Liam and the kids had played around, they moved back to their room with Aria, leaving him and I alone in the

I organized a double date, just to have you both fuck in the vip room while I waited for you with a smile on my face!"

They really got me. No one deserved what they did to me. "We wanted to tell you, we just weren't sure how you would take it," he muttered. "You know what?

    Liam's POV.Just as we were about to climb into our separate cars, ready to head towards the station, my phone beeped with a message tone and I quickly pulled it from my pant pocket. I suddenly halted abruptly on my track as my eyes glanced through the message on my screen. "She is starving herself, she won't take any of the meals we serve her," It was a message from the officer that I had placed in charge of her. "Uhm.. I'll meet you guys at the station, I have to go somewhere immediately," I turned towards officer Lydia, making sure to avoid Adrian's gaze. "You can as well not return, your presence is not worth shit," he spat. I simply ignored him, nodding slightly at Lydia before climbing into my car and drove away. I totally understand his hatred towards me, anyone in his shoes will do exactly the same after what I did to him. I just really hope that he will eventually come in terms with everything and forgive me. It's definitely going to be a long time before he come aroun

    The restaurant was warm, the golden lights casting a cozy glow over the sleek wooden tables. Soft jazz music played in the background, mingling with the murmurs of the other diners, the clinking of silverware against fine china.I sat by the window, stirring my drink absentmindedly as I watched the city move outside. For the first time in what felt like forever, I was alone. No responsibilities pressing on my shoulders, no demands clawing at my time. Just me, a beautifully plated meal, and the illusion of peace.I let out a long sigh, sinking into the plush chair, allowing myself to bask in the moment. Life had been... exhausting. For years, I had been running. Not literally, but emotionally, mentally. Running to fix things, to prove myself, to erase the shadows of the past. And on top of that, I had a daughter now—a beautiful, sweet little girl who meant everything to me. She had Ryan’s piercing eyes, his lips, but my face. Every time I looked at her, it was like seeing pieces of him

Christie, Josh and I were done with highschool and now in our first year in college. And just like every other day, we were laughing about some stupid class project as we made our way down the sidewalk.Suddenly, my phone tucked in my pocket and I quickly fetched it from my pocket, I didn't recognize the number, but it was an unknown area code, and something about it made my stomach drop.“Hold on, guys,” I said to Christie and Josh before picking the call “Hello?” “Is this Aria Liam's?” a calm voice on the other end asked.“Yes,” I replied, getting confused now. “This is city hall hospital. We need you to come in immediately. Your presence is required.”My mind raced. The urgency in the voice sent a chill down my spine. “What happened? Is everything okay?”“I’m afraid I can’t give you any details over the phone,” she said. “But it’s

    Aria's POV.I had never been so relieved to return to school. Two weeks off, two long weeks of hiding away in my room, avoiding the pitying stares from neighbors, and the whispers of strangers who thought they knew everything. But today, today I was going back. I wasn’t going alone either. My parents were walking beside me, I didn’t know exactly what they had planned, but I knew they were going to do something about the scandal. Something that would either make everything better.. or make it worse.I adjusted the strap of my bag, glancing at my parents as we walked through the front gate of the school. Mom was standing tall, shoulders squared, walking with a determined pace. Dad, on the other hand, had his hands jammed deep into his pockets. They looked like the same parents I had known my whole life, though today felt different. They were on a mission.The moment we stepped onto school grounds, I could feel the tension. The eyes. People were still talking about us.. about the scanda

    Aria's POV.The moment I broke the hug, a strange sensation crawled through my body. It wasn’t pain, but something that felt like an overwhelming wave, an unsettling force pulling at my insides. My stomach twisted, and a sudden wave of nausea surged up through my chest, catching me off guard. My vision blurred, and I swayed, struggling to keep myself upright. I gripped the edge of the chair, my fingers digging into the hard surface in an attempt to ground myself. But her body wasn’t listening to me. It felt like it had betrayed me, as if it had no control of its own."Hey, Aria, what's wrong?" I heard distant voices but I couldn't make out who they belonged to.My head spun, the room seeming to tilt at an impossible angle. The world around me began to dissolve, the sounds muffled as if underwater. I gasped for air, trying to steady myself, but it was as though the air itself had become thick, too heavy for me to breathe. My chest tightened, and my pulse raced, the noise of my heartbea

    Aria's POV.The days dragged on, each one stretching endlessly without Ryan. The grief was a living thing, wrapping around me, suffocating me. I missed him in ways that words could never capture. It wasn’t just his presence; it was the way he made me feel, the way he could make even the worst moments bearable. Now, everything was unbearable.I hadn’t left my room much, only stepping out when my body physically forced me to. I barely ate. I barely slept. When I did sleep, it was restless, haunted by dreams of Ryan... his voice, his touch, his warmth. Only to wake up to the cruel reality that he was gone.Christie and Josh had been my lifeline, visiting almost daily. They would knock, call my name softly, and even if I didn’t answer, they would sit outside my door for hours, talking about everything and nothing at all. I didn’t deserve them, but I needed them. Even if I could barely acknowledge it.It was a week of my suspension today, after spending hours lying in bed, staring blankly

    Ryan's POV.It had been days. Days since Ryan had disappeared from my life, leaving nothing but an empty hole where my heart used to be. I could still feel the echoes of his presence, haunting the corners of the house, in the space where his laughter used to ring, in the quiet that used to be filled with his voice. But now, everything felt hollow. I hadn’t heard from him since that video, that live confession. And with every passing moment, the silence grew louder, consuming me more and more until I couldn’t tell where I ended and the emptiness began.I sat on the floor in the far corner of my room, my knees drawn up to my chest, arms wrapped tightly around them as if I could protect myself from the overwhelming emptiness that consumed me. The walls felt like they were closing in. The quiet, the stillness, it suffocated me. My mind wouldn’t let me escape the thoughts of him. Of what he said. Of what he did. Of what he could have done to escape this nightmare.My heart kept trying to

    Aria's POV.I didn’t think. I just ran.My feet slammed against the cold floor of the hallway as I hurtled down the stairs, my heart racing, pounding in chaotic rhythm. It was as though my entire body was trying to escape the terror and helplessness that consumed me, trying to outrun the suffocating fear that had taken over my mind. My thoughts were a blur, a haze of desperate urgency, but they all had one single, overpowering focus: Ryan.I had to find him. I had to stop him.I absolutely don't know where he is or where to find him but one thing was sure, I will get him back.The words from his confession echoed in my head, over and over again: “I’m leaving. I’ll disappear.”No. He couldn’t. He couldn’t just leave me. Not after everything. Not after the bond we shared, the love, the years of quiet, stolen moments that had built up between us. Ryan was my everything. He was my protector, my constant, the one person who had never looked at me with judgment, never turned his back on me,

The silence in the house was unnerving, oppressive, like the air itself had thickened. The usual heated house filled with laughter and happiness was absent since the day Ryan and I got outed, but today's emptiness felt different. It was as if the whole house had been drained of sound, leaving behind only an unsettling stillness.My eyes darted nervously over the hallway as I reached Ryan’s door. My hand trembled slightly as I pushed it open, the door creaked softly and I stepped inside, expecting to find him lounging on the bed, headphones in, oblivious to the world as he has been doing since the whole scandal. But when I looked around, my stomach sank.His room was completely… empty.The bed was made finely as though no one has laid on it for a while, the edges of the blanket smooth. The chair at h

It's the second day of my suspension and it felt like it had already lasted a lifetime, and the thought of enduring this for two weeks was unbearable.The silence in the house was oppressive, broken only by the faint hum of the air conditioning. I have been replaying every moment of the ordeal in my mind, trying to understand how things had spiraled so far out of control. I wanted so desperately for things to go back to how they were, to have my parents' love and trust again, and for the world to stop feeling like it was closing in on me.
