"Choose me, too." The words echoed in Cassia’s head, tightening her throat. A heavy silence filled the room. She wasn’t sure how to respond. She swallowed, her fingers curling at her sides as she tried to process everything. Liam, her senior, her mentor, her friend, was looking at her with such r
Cassia sat on the cold floor alone, her knees pulled up to her chest, arms wrapped tightly around them. Her mind was a mess, thoughts colliding and looping back to the same memories. Liam’s words. They haunted her. "Choose me, too." Her throat tightened. She had always admired him, respected him
Darvan inhaled, his mind racing as the lawyer analyzed the document. Just as the lawyer leaned forward to respond, Darvan’s phone buzzed. His mother’s name flashed across the screen and he sighed. "Does she want to request this?" Justin asked, gesturing toward the documents. "Yes, but I won’t give
Cassia stood outside Liam’s door, hesitating. She had spent the entire night tossing and turning, thinking about him… about his confession. And now, standing here, she was nervous. Taking a deep breath, she knocked. Seconds later, the door opened, revealing Liam in a loose shirt and sweatpants. Hi
Stacy’s fingers trembled as she reached for the documents, her heart pounding. Just as her fingertips grazed the paper, Mrs. Sinclair smoothly pulled them away before she could pick it up. Stacy blinked, her gaze slowly lifting to Mrs. Sinclair, who wore a small, knowing smile. "I’ll give these t
"You've got to be kidding me," Darvan muttered, his brows furrowing as he glanced at his mother, who was now staring at Martinez. Martinez, seated to the side and barely paying attention to anything happening, was lost in thought. His mind was consumed with worries about Cassia. Her mood hadn’t bee
Stacy. Pregnant. With his child. He had his doubts, but now… it was real. Darvan's grip on the phone tightened. "Are you sure about this, Dr. Watson?" "Yes, sir. We ran multiple tests. The results are accurate. You’re welcome to drop by the hospital and review them yourself," the doctor replied. "
Darvan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as he drove to Justin’s company. His mind was a mess. No matter how much he tried to process everything, it still felt unreal. Stacy was the last person he would ever trust now. For days, he had convinced himself it was a lie. That she had manipulated t
Darvan thanked the doctor as he walked out of the hospital with Justin. The results were still vivid in his mind. Every memory with Stacy now felt like a lie. The late-night talks before they were even together, her gentle smile, her encouragement...everything had been fake. Justin walked silently
"We should eat before it gets cold," Darvan muttered, and Stacy nodded, taking her seat as he did the same. As they sat at the dining table, Stacy eagerly served Darvan his meal, a bright smile on her face as she placed the dishes before him. "I made all your favorites, including chicken soup," sh
Darvan's grip on the phone tightened as he continued watching the screen, his breathing slow and controlled. Had he always been right? Or was this, in some way, his fault? Did she get pregnant with his child, and because he stopped being intimate with her, she turned to Marc instead? He couldn't te
Cassia felt the warmth of Martinez’s arms around her, her face resting against his chest. His heartbeat was steady, yet she couldn't help but feel that he was hiding something. Weren’t they lovers? If something was wrong, shouldn’t she be the first to know? Alright, even if his sister knew first, s
The drive was a quiet one, as millions of thoughts raced through Darvan's mind. In no time, he pulled into Justin’s driveway, his fingers tightening around the steering wheel as he struggled to control the emotions raging inside him. He killed the engine, exhaling sharply before stepping out of the
Martinez sat frozen in his car for almost thirty minutes, his breath shaky as his grip on the steering wheel tightened. The thought of having anything to do with Cassia's parents kept echoing in his mind. Was he responsible for their deaths? No matter how hard he tried to shake it off, the flashes o
Cassia and Liam had been deeply engrossed in their design ideas for hours before they finally decided to take a break. Stepping out for a drink, they noticed Henry still seated in the reception area, waiting. Cassia raised a brow, surprised to see him still there, especially after Liam had made it
Darvan remained silent for a long time, trying to process everything that had just happened. His mind kept circling back to the voice he had heard over the phone. Stacy had saved Marc’s number as if they were business partners. But what kind of business were they involved in together? The bigger qu
Cassia left her room, already prepared for work. She found her friends still seated, but they immediately stood up when they saw her. "Going somewhere?" Quinn asked. Cassia nodded, making her way toward the door. "I'm not in the mood for your teasing today," she said, adjusting the strap of her ba
