As Darvan watched her walk away, he sat frozen in place, his mind replaying her words like a broken record. "Desperate pest?" Did she really call him that? him? "Darvan... I want to go back to the hotel," Stacy’s voice broke through his daze. She was clearly uncomfortable. She couldn’t bear to stay
"This is just perfect to keep his eyes on me alone," Cassia muttered, giving one last glance at her reflection before exiting the room with a small package in her hands—a birthday present for the man she had loved for five years and still loved deeply. It's was her boyfriend birthday. And guess who
"Sia," Darvan called as he slowly sat upright, his head pounding with a headache. He found himself sprawled on the sofa, still in yesterday’s clothes and without a blanket. His head spun and he felt the chill creeping in, like he might catch a cold. “Why didn’t she help me change?” he groaned, hold
As the place boomed with loud music and people danced to every beat, Darvan sat next to Stacy, who was busy talking without a care. She kept going on about Cassia and Darvan's breakup, and how she and Darvan had officially become a couple. This party wasn’t just to celebrate her return, but also to
Darvan scoffed, trying to push these feeling of jealousy he felt away as he approached Cassia. Every step he took towards her intensified his anger. She looked so happy with the guy she was talking to, and that made Darvan's blood boil. As he got to her, he squinted his eyes when he noticed her long
Cassia stood in her new sitting room, looking around as she tried to figure out where to start unpacking. The space felt fresh, filled with light pouring in from the large windows, and she couldn’t help but smile at the thought of a new life. Just as she was about to start unpacking, a soft knock
Aurora, still in shock, blinked and pushed Cassia's hands away from her body. Liam, who had been watching them, was interrupted by an important phone call. He glanced between the women and his phone, hesitating over which to prioritize. Ultimately, he decided to take the call, assuming they were mat
But what stung more now was the photo of Cassia and Liam that Aurora had sent him. The way Cassia smiled at Liam got under his skin, as if he had never meant anything to her. He didn't like it—she had gone too far this time. She had pushed him over the edge. He needed to find her, confront her, and
As Darvan watched her walk away, he sat frozen in place, his mind replaying her words like a broken record. "Desperate pest?" Did she really call him that? him? "Darvan... I want to go back to the hotel," Stacy’s voice broke through his daze. She was clearly uncomfortable. She couldn’t bear to stay
The moment Darvan reached where Cassia was seated, he slid into the seat beside her without hesitation. Cassia’s brow raised beneath her mask. Who was this now? Though his face was obscured, his body shape and presence struck a chord of familiarity. Darvan wasted no time. "Cassia,” he began soft
Darvan watched as Cassia hesitated, her eyes flicking between the stranger’s mask and his outstretched hand. The stranger seemed so calm and self-assured. With no polite way to say no, she reluctantly placed her hand in his. Darvan let out a scoff, but the loud music drowned it out. “I guess so,”
"You should enjoy your time with your girlfriend, nephew." Martinez gave Darvan a firm pat on the shoulder before turning and walking away. Darvan watched his uncle's retreating figure with narrowed eyes. From a distance, Martinez pulled out his phone and made a quick call, his voice calm but loud
Cassia smiled softly at Liam’s words. "I'm sorry I didn’t call earlier…” she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of guilt. She shifted slightly on her feet, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "It’s okay," Liam replied without hesitation, his tone warm and reassuring. "As long as y
Why did everything feel so messed up? Why did it all feel so wrong? Darvan stood frozen near the private jet, his gaze locked on Stacy, who was beaming—a radiant smile that belonged to someone who believed everything was finally falling into place. The kind of smile that could warm any heart... exc
After arriving in France the previous night, the girls had decided to rest, planning to explore Belleville the next day. Stepping out of their lodge, wide smiles spread across their faces as they took in the stunning landscape before them. "Happy you came?" Quinn asked. Cassia nodded, a sof
Darvan stepped out of his office to an unexpected sight— some of his employees bowing respectfully to someone. His brow furrowed as he approached, but the answer came quickly. It was his mother, Mrs. Sinclair, walking through the corridor with her usual aura of authority and power. "Mom," he greete
The hug between Cassia and Liam lasted for what felt like two minutes before Liam gently pulled away. Cassia blinked, still processing the warmth of the moment. She forced a smile, trying to mask the tension in the air. "I'm sorry I didn’t call or text," she said softly, her voice laced with regre
