After finishing my dinner, I went to the living room to watch TV. I made a point not to look at Marcus, not to acknowledge his presence. I didn't want to care, I didn't want to feel anything for him anymore.

But then, I heard a hiss of pain from the kitchen. My heart was telling me to look, to see what was going on, but my mind was telling me to ignore it. I didn't want to show that I cared, I didn't want to give him any more power over me.

But I couldn't ignore it. I couldn't ignore the pain in his voice. So, I got up from the couch and walked towards the kitchen. When I got there, I saw that Marcus was bleeding, he had cut himself while trying to make a meal.

My heart was torn, I didn't want to help him, I didn't want to give him any more chances to hurt me. But I couldn't just stand there and watch him suffer. So, I rushed to help him, grabbing a towel and pressing it to the cut.

"What happened?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

    FionaI stumbled my way to the bathroom, feeling groggy from the deep sleep I had just come out of. I flipped on the light switch and blinked a few times as my eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness. I splashed some water on my face and rubbed my eyes, feeling refreshed.I took a deep breath and gazed at myself in the mirror. My hair was a mess and there were bags under my eyes, but I was still determined to start the day feeling refreshed and ready for anything. I dug through my toiletry bag for my toothbrush and toothpaste, and went to work on freshening up my mouth.Next, I grabbed my hairbrush and ran it through my tangled locks, working out the knots and tangles. I could feel the bristles of the brush running smoothly through my hair, leaving it feeling soft and silky. I took my time, wanting to make sure I looked and felt my best before climbing back into bed.Finally, I returned to my room and slipped under the covers, ready to get some more rest. The sun was just starting to p

    Fiona Pov I walked into my classroom, bracing myself for the usual cold reception from my classmates. Just as I expected, no one acknowledged my presence. I took a deep breath, trying to push down the anger building inside of me.I greeted Mr. Gilbert, but he just walked past me without a word. I felt my heart drop. After our talk yesterday, I thought he would at least say hi. But no, it was like I didn't even exist.I sat down at my desk, fuming. I couldn't believe that everyone still hated me, even after I had tried to make amends. All I wanted was for someone to give me a chance, but it seemed like that would never happen.As the lesson started, I found it hard to concentrate. All I could think about was the injustice of it all. I was tired of being the outcast, the one everyone picked on.The bell rang and I gathered my things, still seething. I was done with this place, done with the constant rejection and indifference. As I walked out of the classroom, I made a promise to mysel

    Fiona Pov I was standing outside the coffee shop, tapping my foot impatiently. Marcus was supposed to pick me up 10 minutes ago, but he was nowhere in sight. I checked my phone for the umpteenth time, but still no message or call from him. I was getting more and more frustrated by the minute. I had been looking forward to this day for weeks, and now it was being ruined by Marcus's tardiness. I mean, what could be more important than picking me up on time? I had made it clear that we needed to stick to a schedule today, but it seemed like Marcus didn't care. Just as I was about to call him, I saw his car pull up. I marched over to the passenger side, yanked open the door, and plopped down in the seat. I didn't even bother to say hello. "What took you so long?" I asked, my voice sharp. "Come on, get in," Marcus replied, ignoring my question. I hesitated for a moment, but then walked over to the passenger side and opened the door. As I settled into my seat, I couldn't help but feel

    I glared at him, feeling more and more frustrated by the minute. How could he be so insensitive and careless about something that meant so much to me? I had been looking forward to this day for weeks, and now it was being ruined by Marcus's tardiness and lack of consideration. "Sorry isn't good enough," I said, my voice shaking with anger. "You're always doing this. You never take me or any of my plans seriously. I'm tired of being treated like an afterthought." Marcus didn't reply, and the car was filled with an awkward silence. I could feel the tension between us, and I knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg. Our relationship as bodyguard and client had been strained for some time, and it seemed like today was just the final straw. I spent the rest of the car ride in silence, thinking about all the times Marcus had let me down and ignored my feelings. I was done with being taken for granted and treated like a doormat. It was time for me to stand up for myself and demand th

After all, I was still attracted to him and I didn't want that to change.I took a relaxing shower, trying to clear my mind and focus on the day ahead.

    Marcus I sat in the room, listening to all the voice records from Zayn. My anger boiled inside me as I heard the evidence of someone wanting to harm Fiona.

I smiled to myself, realizing that I felt better than I had yesterday morning.The reason for my improved mood was simple: I had talked to Ella the night before. Ella was my closest friend, and the only person who knew what I had been going through lately. I had been struggling with a lot of things - work stress, relationship issues, and some health problems - and I had been feeling pretty overwhelmed.But talking to Ella had been a game-changer. She had listened patiently as I poured out all my frustrations and fears, and had offered kind and wise advice that I knew I could trust.
