"Why can’t she just disappear already?" Her voice was low, but the hatred behind her words was undeniable as she glared at the shrimp sauce in front of her, a wicked smirk tugging at the corners of her lips. “You were alive once, but out of millions of shrimp, you were caught. Peeled, cooked, and
Cassia let out a sigh, ruffling her hair in frustration. Why was Darvan being so unreasonable? She couldn’t understand it. He had been the one to say he wanted her out of his life, so why, now that she was gone, was he still being so clingy and infuriating? Why was his family still bent on frustrati
Darvan's friends all turned toward him as the words left his mouth. "Who are you missing when your girlfriend is right in front of you?" Frederick asked, raising an eyebrow. Darvan blinked rapidly, glancing at each of them to find their gazes fixed on him. He couldn’t believe he’d said that out l
Cassia paced back and forth in her small living room, her fingers tugging nervously at the hem of her sweater. Her phone sat on the table, displaying her contact list. “I can’t go there alone,” she muttered, her heart pounding at the thought of being with Darvan. Not that she was scared... just u
Cassia sprang to her feet, her breath coming in quick gasps as she instinctively moved behind Liam for safety. "How dare you try to lay your hands on her?" Liam shouted, frustrated at the scene he had just witnessed. Darvan raised an irritated brow, standing straighter before bursting into laughte
Stacy paced back and forth in her room, her arms tightly crossed over her chest. After waiting for Darvan for what felt like hours, he neither showed up nor called, and he didn’t answer her repeated attempts to reach him. With no other option, she had returned to her place, frustrated and uneasy.
Since the incident at Darvan's place, Liam had stayed with Cassia to ensure she wouldn’t feel alone and wouldn’t dwell too much on what had happened. Though she insisted she was fine, Liam wasn’t convinced, and the thought of leaving her alone didn’t sit well with him. It was already nighttime when
Darvan's words stung, but Cassia kept her composure as she walked into the formal design room. She grabbed her bag and made her way back to the sitting room. When she saw Mrs. Sinclair talking to Aurora, she approached them, a faint smile on her lips. "Thank you for your time, ma'am. It was a priv
Cassia stopped reading, frozen in place as she stared at the piece of paper in her hands. Darvan wasn’t Mrs. Sinclair’s son? She decided to read it again. And again. Maybe the words would change, or blur enough to make her doubt them. But no, the truth was stubborn. Her hands trembled as she care
Marc inhaled deeply as he sat beside Stacy’s unconscious body. Machines beeped steadily, reminding him that despite the silence, she was alive. If not because of Fredrick who texted him about the incident, until now, he'd have been clueless. He watched her face, pale and still, her breath barely m
Adams didn’t waste another second. The moment Henry walked out of the store, blood still fresh on his lips and that mocking grin still etched on his face, Adams went after him. He didn’t care about the things he wanted to buy. Didn’t care about the people staring or the mess they left behind. He ne
Cassia blinked, trying to take in what he said. “If your mom really had something to do with this... then maybe Martinez was innocent?” she mumbled, but Darvan caught it. He looked at her. “You think he didn’t do it? Did he say anything?” Cassia sighed and sat down on the couch. “I don’t even know
“So she erased my memory?” Darvan murmured to himself, lowering his gaze, as if the explanation had confirmed something he wasn’t ready to accept. “Why do you ask? Are you considering undergoing the procedure?” the doctor asked, pushing his glasses down the bridge of his nose as he tapped the back
The phone rang once, twice… and just as Cassia was beginning to lose her patience, Martinez picked up. “Cassia?” His voice was low, almost hesitant, as if afraid to say her name. She swallowed. “Good morning.” She greeted him, but he didn’t reply. “Have you thought about it? I—” “How did you
Mrs. Sinclair froze. Her breath caught in her throat as Darvan’s words echoed in the room. She couldn’t speak. Her hands trembled slightly, but she quickly hid them behind her back. Her eyes locked with his, and for the first time, there was something raw in her expression… something she hadn’t sh
By the time the car stopped in front of Justin's house, the sky was starting to turn from dark to light blue. Everything was quiet, the streets were empty, and the morning air felt a little cold. Frederick opened the car door, letting out a sigh as he stepped out. "Thanks for the ride." he murmured
The night felt like it would never end. Cassia sat quietly in the cold hospital corridor, leaning against the wall. Her eyes were tired, but she couldn’t sleep. The only sounds were the quiet footsteps of nurses passing by. Liam sat a few seats away, staring at his phone without really looking, whi
