However, deceit aside, looking at the pitiable gaze of the young girl before him, Marcus could not get angry.

"Do you genuinely want to get engaged, or is this just a joke?" Marcus looked into Zyra's eyes, earnestly questioning.

"Of course! I've held onto this thought since I was sixteen. Three whole years, and it hasn't changed!"

Zyra had waited for him for three years, and during that time, she encountered numerous events that only strengthened her love for Marcus.

"Fine, but you have to listen to me after that."

Marcus's words sounded serious and quite suffocating. Zyra knew her life of restricted freedom was returning, but she did not care. She was about to have Marcus, after all.

The affectionate exchange between the couple elicited smiles and chuckles from those watching, charmed by the couple's delightful bond. The engagement banquet was firmly scheduled for one thirty-four in the afternoon on the twentieth of May—an especially auspicious moment.

    Yaslyn felt her heart stop.She looked around frantically. The line of guests giving gifts seemed endless, and whoever handed her the mysterious gift had disappeared into the crowd.She turned anxiously to the nearby butler. "Mr. Laber, did you see who gave me this gift?"Mr. Laber paused, trying to recall. "I think it was a veiled woman in her forties. Why do you ask?"Before Mr. Laber could finish, Yaslyn shot up and dashed outside. The scene left the guests startled. Even the always-composed Xoan looked concerned."What's with Yaslyn? It's almost as if she's fleeing her own engagement," Marcus exclaimed, flabbergasted.Xoan's brow furrowed with unease. "Let's wait for her. She knows the importance of today. There must be a reason for her actions.""Perhaps you should go check on her. What if something's happened?" Marcus suggested with a worried expression.Nodding, Xoan adjusted his tie and followed Yaslyn out. The guests were left whispering in disbelief.'First the bride

    Yaslyn was stuck in a gut-wrenching decision. On one hand, there was a tantalizing clue about her mother, and on the other, an engagement banquet that had been in the works for so long. She hesitated, torn between duty and personal longing."See? She's tempted by my offer, isn't she, Xoan?" Yerick taunted with a smirk, certain of Yaslyn's forthcoming decision.Eyes clouded with conflict, Yaslyn finally said, "Xoan, I really want to know about this clue. Can we return to the engagement after I get my answers?"Xoan, with a soft chuckle, reassured, "There's no need to complicate things. Let's finish our engagement, and my men will handle him."Yerick's smirk faded rapidly. "Wait, what?"Raising his hand, Yerick motioned to several burly men behind him. "I tried the gentle approach, but if you force my hand, we'll do this the hard way."Xoan was not fazed. With a casual wave, he summoned an equally formidable squad. The tension was palpable, with both sides sizing each other up, wai

    Yaslyn rarely lost her temper, but Sadie's presence truly infuriated her."Why would I even want to be here?" Sadie huffed, obviously sickened by Yaslyn and Xoan's closeness. Just as she decided to leave, Omar held her back."Stay here if you still wish to re-debut."Sadie paused, realizing the importance of this lifeline Omar was offering her. Yaslyn's brow furrowed, but she caught Omar mouthing something before she could say anything."I have my reasons."Upon reading his lips, Yaslyn paused and understood that Omar would not harm her. It was best to proceed with the engagement ceremony.The engagement went on without a hitch, although there were many reactions from the front-row guests. While Henry felt relieved, Sheldon wore an amused grin. However, sadness streaked through Omar's eyes, and Sadie seemed ready to explode with rage.As the engagement party progressed and guests sat down to feast, Omar pulled Yaslyn aside."What's the real reason you brought Sadie?"

    It was barely sunrise when Yaslyn was jolted awake by her ringing phone. Rubbing her groggy eyes, she groped beneath her pillow, finally grabbing her phone and answering.Last night's festivities had stretched past midnight, leaving her exhausted.A familiar voice responded from the other end. "Yaslyn."Instantly awake, Yaslyn sat up, squinting against the blinding morning sunlight filtering through the window. "Quinn? You're back?"He responded, "Yes, I had them inform you about it yesterday. Why haven't you gotten up yet? Have you become lazy from the lack of training?"Despite the grogginess, Yaslyn detected a trace of playfulness in Quinn's deep, melodic voice."No way! I woke up at five in the morning, went for a jog, and then decided to take a short nap. I haven't been slacking off," she replied.Yaslyn's eyes darted to the clock on the wall that betrayed the truth. It was already noon."It seems like your 'short nap' was quite long," Quinn remarked, not intending to delv

    Quinn stood out in stark contrast amidst the crowd. Standing at almost six feet and two inches tall, his well-defined muscles highlighted his sharp features, making him irresistible to many.A shorter man next to him paled in comparison. However, what caught Yaslyn's attention was not Quinn's appearance but the group of men surrounding him, seemingly looking for trouble.Yaslyn observed the unfolding scene from afar, curious to see how Quinn would handle the situation.One of the men yelled, "You bastard, how many times do I have to tell you? Apologize! Do you not understand?"Quinn calmly said, "Do you really deserve an apology from me?"The man, wearing extravagant gold chains and clothing, laughed sarcastically. A large dark birthmark on his right eye made his already unremarkable face even less appealing."Heh, you think you're too good for that? Do you even know who I am? Anyone who crosses me gets a taste of my hand."With a nonchalant stretch of his wrist, Quinn challenge

    Quinn's striking appearance was hardly surprising. Born to a mother celebrated for her beauty in the capital and a father known as one of its most handsome men, he was gifted with extraordinary genes.Yaslyn felt herself magnetically pulled toward him, enchanted by his elegant presence. A verse from a poem came to mind.'On the pathway stands a radiant sight, a noble youth, unmatched in purest light.'"What are you staring at? Even after all these years, can you still be entranced just because I look good?" Quinn remarked, confident in his good looks. His chiseled features and tall frame made any defense unlikely.Yaslyn lifted her glass as she laughed. "Why are you so handsome when it does you no good?"One of Quinn's most obvious qualities was his handsome appearance. However, it was also the thing he cared least about. He especially hated it when people pointed it out. Just as his mood turned sour and he was about to lecture Yaslyn, a new figure approached their booth."Yaslyn

    Unfazed, Yaslyn stared Sadie down. "Sadie, I've been patient with you for far too long. Are you sure you want to continue provoking me?"Taken aback by Yaslyn's glare, Sadie steadied herself, clinging to the leverage she held."It's you who should be nervous now. Not me.""Do you think I'm scared? If you have the guts, post the video. Otherwise, quit playing games," Yaslyn replied."I will!" Sadie announced defiantly, trying to send the video to Xoan, only to find herself blocked."He blocked me! Did you have a say in this?"Sadie had never anticipated that Yaslyn would pull such a move."No worries. Xoan will see it eventually." Sadie said, regaining her confidence. "I'll personally show it to him tomorrow."However, Yaslyn looked at the bar entrance, and the doors swiftly closed. "Sadie, did you forget that you're on my turf?"The smirk on Sadie's face vanished instantly. "Yaslyn, what are you planning?"Sadie felt an unexpected surge of fear. She had assumed that possessin

    By the time Quinn reached the bottom of the stairs, Yaslyn, Wade, and Xora had already left. His phone chimed briefly, signaling a new message. Skimming the text, he assumed Yaslyn had left early out of boredom. Nevertheless, he felt the urge to call her."Hello, Yaslyn?"A distant car horn in the background suggested she was on the way home. "Why'd you call?" Yaslyn teased, "Thought you'd be busy having a romantic evening with Sadie. I didn’t want to intrude. How did it go? Did Sadie agree?" Yaslyn's voice, although masked with a hint of jest, echoed a subtle trace of curiosity. As she spoke, she glanced outside, taking in the fleeting landscapes.Deep down, she felt that Sadie was not right for Quinn. She always saw Sadie as someone with questionable character, unfit to be part of their lives."Yaslyn." Quinn's tone shifted. He had a habit of using Yaslyn's full name when he was annoyed.Noticing his tone, she shifted from her light-hearted jest to a more concerned note. "What's

    Whitey glanced back and forth between them, shaking her head. "You two are a mystery."Suddenly, Doniel stood and waved Whitey over. "Hey, Whitey. Come here for a second."Confused but compliant, Whitey walked over.In a swift move, Doniel took her hand. With a smug look at Matheo, he announced, "I'm taking Whitey off your hands for a bit."Matheo's expression turned steely. "What's your game?""Don't sweat it, she'll be back soon."With that, Doniel led Whitey out.They reached a more secluded spot before Doniel finally released her hand. "Whitey, you're not hurt, right?"Whitey shook her head, twirling in front of him to prove her point. "See? I'm totally fine."Doniel reached out and gently tapped her forehead. "Someone hit you, didn't they? Your face is still swollen, and here you are, telling me it's nothing."Whitey playfully stuck out her tongue. "I just didn't want you to worry. Besides, I'm not the one who got seriously hurt. It was Matheo.""I know. Matheo really d

    "Don't make that call!" Whitey screamed in a panic.A harsh slap struck her face as the ringleader yelled, "Shut it, woman! Who said you could talk?"The man, not satisfied after hitting her, gave in to his fury and kicked her. However, before he knew it, Matheo, who was standing nearby, had silently moved behind him. Suddenly, a sharp crack echoed as Matheo snapped the man's fingers with raw force.Matheo wrapped his arms around Whitey and quickly retreated."I can't take it! I'm done. I don't want anything else. Just do it!"The ringleader was seething with rage, the throbbing in his fingers ruining his will to fight Matheo.A few thugs had been itching for a reason to go after Matheo, and they wasted no time grabbing their weapons and launching an assault.Matheo fought back while dragging Whitey out of harm's way, but as the fight dragged on, he started losing ground.A vicious knife cut to Matheo's leg sent him tumbling down with a grunt."Matheo!"Whitey crouched beside

    Whitey shook her head. She did not have a clue, and even if she could guess, she did not know what to do about it."I was actually about to..."Before Matheo could finish, a deafening crash rang out.Startled, Whitey clapped her hands over her ears. Matheo wrapped her in his arms and glanced at the rear window.A random stone had shattered the car's back glass, leaving a gaping hole.The chaos erupted out of nowhere, catching both of them off guard. They had been deep in conversation when suddenly, a line of cars barricaded the road, trapping them.Matheo gently patted her head, a silent plea for calm.Whitey, frantic, nodded and fumbled for her phone, only to find it had mysteriously powered down."Stay put in the car and don't worry," Matheo said, handing her his phone."If things go south, call the cops, call anyone."He was ready to step out and face the unknown threat head-on.Whitey protested. "Matheo, we don't know what we're dealing with. Don't just rush out there."

    Whitey was back to her usual routine—classes by day, radio station by night. However, she had a luxury she did not have previously. A private car service, ensuring her safety was never in question.Doniel's lips were sealed, not breathing a word of her injury to anyone. Except for Matheo, who had somehow stumbled upon the secret.That night, after her radio gig, Whitey stepped out expecting to see the familiar pink sports car tucked away in its usual spot. However, it was nowhere in sight.Moreover, he had not even bothered to call her. A knot of worry formed in her stomach. Did something happen to him?Whitey had called his number three, maybe four times, but got nothing.As she was wrestling with her thoughts, a familiar yet unsettling figure approached her.Matheo.Why was he there?Nobody knew about Whitey's job at the radio station except Doniel."Doniel's tied up today, so I'm your ride," Matheo said.Alarm bells rang in Whitey's head. How did Matheo know about Doniel

    The nurse nodded, gesturing for Doniel to give them some space.Once the bandaging was complete, Doniel returned with a treat—Whitey's beloved chocolate cupcakes."For you. Why didn't you say it hurt? He was so rough, and yet you asked me not to hold it against him."Whitey, her mouth full of frosting, mumbled a reply. "It's not that bad. Besides, you two are usually on good terms. Why fight over pointless things because of me?"Doniel tapped her head gently. "You're such a goof. What are you even talking about? Meaningless things?""I just thought that you two grew up together, so it'd be a shame to fall out over something so small, right?"Doniel huffed, "I never really cared for him, you know.""Okay, let's figure out a plan B. This mess means I might be stuck in the hospital longer, so I'm counting on you to smooth things over back home."Doniel looked at her with a teasing grin. "Relax, I've got this."Somehow, Whitey could always pick up a strange vibe from his smile, an

    Whitey was injured, and Doniel rushed her to the hospital that very night. It was just a slash on her arm, but Doniel was beside himself with worry.Watching Whitey grit her teeth through the stitching, Doniel's face turned a shade of stormy gray. "I'll track down that driver's family if it's the last thing I do!"Whitey winced in pain, but seeing Doniel's fury, she tried to soothe him. "Really, it's not so bad."Doniel looked at her bandaged arm. "Thirteen stitches, Whitey. If you're not in pain, I'm in pain for both of us."Whitey was always the center of attention—a princess who was doted on from the day she was born. She had never experienced an injury as severe as that. As Doniel reached for his phone to call Whitey's parents, she quickly stopped him with a hand gesture, wincing as she accidentally grazed her wound, "Please don't call them. They'll just scold me again if they find out.""I told you to let me drive you home. Now, look at what happened because you didn't li

    Whitey gripped the edge of her skirt, a new kind of worry blooming in her chest.'What if Matheo was…'She shuddered at the thought, her mind a garden where fears grew into giant oaks, so tall and dark that they scared her.Looking up again, Whitey's eyes widened as she noticed the taxi had taken a wrong turn, heading into unfamiliar territory.In the rearview mirror, she caught a glimpse of the driver's unsettling smirk.Taking a cab late at night was proving to be a bad idea, her heart racing with fear. If only she had accepted a ride from Doniel, none of that would happen. Regret washed over her as she scrambled for her phone, desperate to call for help.Sensing her panic, the driver floored it to a secluded spot and then abruptly stopped the car.Whitey's head snapped forward, hitting the seat, and as the world spun, her phone slipped from her grasp. Then, the driver was toying with her phone, his grin wide and wicked."Planning to call the cops or a friend, sweetheart?""

    As time swiftly marched on, three years went by.Whitey nailed her entrance exam into the top university in Jefferson City—Jefferson City University.As for the others, Caleb turned 30, tied the knot, had kids, and took control of Sheldon's international ventures. He and his family packed up and moved overseas, while the rest stayed back."Thanks for tuning into 'Moonlit Wishes,' your go-to spot for all things heartfelt. I'm your host, Macie."At the stroke of ten, Macie's soothing voice filled the evening airwaves."Let's hear from our first caller tonight. Hey there, sir, what's on your mind?"Macie's voice was soothing, soft yet strong enough to coax secrets from the most guarded of hearts."Here's the thing, Macie. I've been head over heels for this girl, but she's always kept me at arm's length, saying I haven't done enough. However, today, I caught her in another guy's arms.

    "So, just because you're into him, you decide to set me up? How does that make any sense?"Whitey could not help but find her logic almost laughable."Because I noticed he always had a soft spot for you, jealousy clouded my judgment, and that's why I..."Jade inhaled deeply, as if bracing herself for what was to come. "Well, you've uncovered the truth, so there's no point in hiding anything. Punish me however you see fit."What was the point in pleading guilty then?Jade stood there, a mix of defiance and dignity, stubborn even in the face of her mistake.Whitey was not looking to lay blame. "I'm not going to take this to the principal, and I won't breathe a word of it to anyone else. However, as of today, our friendship is done. I'll find a new place to sit when we get back."Whitey let out a tired sigh. "There's something else you should know. He's got a girlfriend now."Jade's eyes widened in disbelief.
