I slowly walked towards the large and beautiful garden,I stand at the edge of the garden, surrounded by a colorful array of flowers in full bloom. The sun is shining down, casting a warm glow over everything, and the scent of freshly-cut grass and blooming flowers fills my nostrils. I take a deep breath, closing my eyes for a moment, and let the peacefulness of the scene wash over me.The garden is a riot of color, with vibrant pink, red, and purple flowers blooming alongside softer hues of yellow, white, and blue. I see delicate roses, bright daisies, and bold dahlias all vying for my attention. The petals are soft to the touch, like velvet, and I can't help but run my fingers over them, feeling their texture.As I walk through the garden, I feel a sense of wonder at the sheer variety of flowers on display. I spot tal
Chapter Thirty Eight Zara’s POV “Why are you quiet ?” Knight asked me and I didn’t say a word because I didn’t know what to say , it felt like I was tongue tied“Fine, don’t say a word. Silence is also the answer but know that just because he was the one who took your virginity first doesn’t mean that he is your fated mate ! Don’t get lost in a delusional situation that is going to hurt you later!” Knight said before turning around and left me in the garden without saying a word.“I don’t even know you! Who are you and why are you helping me ! Maybe we should start with that !” I shouted back but he was already far gone and he didn’t reply to me. “Goodness, why is everyone so secretive and all mysterious around here !” I asked myself. I released the breath I was holding. I looked around the garden , I didn’t even want to look at Knight on his way out. “Kai is still not here , that means I still have some little time for myself “ I whispered while wondering where on earth did Al
Chapter Thirty Nine Annabelle’s POV I stand in the middle of my small apartment, staring at the cardboard box before me. It's filled with clothes - my clothes - and I can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me as I realize that this is the last time I'll ever pack them up in this room.I'm a newly minted medical school graduate, and I've spent the past few years studying my heart out to get to where I am now. And now, as I prepare to board a flight back home to my family, especially my hot headed and grumpy twin brother Alex, I can't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation at what the future holds.I take a deep breath and begin to methodically fold each piece of clothing before placing it carefully in the box. I pause every so often to glance around the room, taking in the familiar sights and sounds one last time. The posters on the walls, the textbooks piled high on my desk, the framed photo of my family that sits on my bedside table - each item carries with
Chapter Forty Annabelle’s POV I'm lying down in my bed, staring up at the ceiling. The room is quiet except for the occasional tick of the clock on the wall. It's early in the night, but I'm already bored out of my mind. I glance over at my nightstand, where my phone sits charging. Maybe I should check I*******m or scroll through TikTok, but the thought of mindlessly swiping through social media doesn't appeal to me right now.I turn my attention back to the room. It's luxurious and feminine, just like I wanted. The walls are painted a soft pink, and the furniture is all white and gold. I've always loved the way those two colors look together. The bedspread is a fluffy white comforter with gold accents. It's soft and comfortable, but it doesn't do much to alleviate my boredom.I let out a sigh and closed my eyes. Maybe if I just lie here for a little while longer, something interesting will happen. But the longer I lie here, the more restless I become. I sit up and swing my legs over

Chapter Forty Two Zara’s POV Since I woke up in a cold sweat, heart pounding in my chest, my mind racing with the horrors of my nightmare. It was the same one that had been plaguing me for weeks now, the one where I was trapped in a dark and twisted maze with no way out. The feeling of being lost and alone was suffocating, and it lingered with me even after I had awoken. I knew I needed to clear my head, to escape the confines of my room and the memories of my dream. So I slipped on my sneakers and headed out into the cool night air. The moon was full and bright, casting an eerie glow over the world around me. The street lights flickered and hummed, casting long shadows that danced in the darkness.As I walked, I felt the cool breeze on my face, and I breathed deeply, taking in the fresh air.
