Audrey stepped out of the car, her eyes sparkling as she glanced back at Zach. There was something both warm and gentle in her smile. “Thanks, Zach,” she said, her voice soft yet clear. “Don’t forget to pick me up, okay?” She leaned over, brushing a light peck against his cheek, her touch lingering just a second longer than usual before she straightened up and took a step back.Zach held her gaze for a moment, his smile widening as he watched her walk away. A slight chuckle escaped him, though he quickly shook his head. Audrey had a way of leaving him both amused and enchanted, even with the simplest gestures. Once she disappeared around the corner, he slipped into the car, pulling the door closed and starting the engine. For a moment, he lingered, glancing in the direction she’d gone, before finally driving off.Inside the school, Audrey moved through the familiar hallways, her steps confident. Yet, the day had barely started, and she already felt eyes on her—specifically, Flora’s. A

“You heard me right. I said pick up the papers.” The man’s voice was cold, with an edge that made Audrey hesitate.Audrey blinked, momentarily shocked by his words. Wait, she thought, I wasn’t the one who threw those papers on the floor. She felt her fingers clench around the strap of her bag. His demand echoed in her mind, and for a brief moment, she wondered if he was serious. Her gaze shifted to the mess of scattered papers on the floor between them, then back up to his face.“If I remember correctly,” she said slowly, “I wasn’t the one who threw those papers down.”The man barely blinked. His face remained as impassive as a statue. “I know,” he replied calmly, crossing his arms over his chest, “but you still have to pick them up. I’m the lecturer, and you’re the student, so you need to obey me.” His eyes hardened, as if daring her to resist. “Hurry up—I don’t want to be late for the staff meeting.”Audrey stared at him, feeling the warmth of defiance rise in her chest. A small, am

Zach gripped the steering wheel tightly, his jaw set, his eyes focused straight ahead. The road blurred as he pressed down on the accelerator, his foot nearly flooring the pedal. Nora was right in his path, standing defiantly in the middle of the road. The car sped forward, roaring like a beast unleashed. But just as it was about to hit her, Nora stepped aside, barely escaping. Zach didn't look back to see her reaction. Without hesitation, he drove on, his focus solely on leaving her far behind.As she watched him disappear into the distance, Nora's hands clenched tightly at her sides. Her heart pounded, her breathing ragged, but her gaze was locked on the fading silhouette of his car. She stood there, frozen, disbelief mixing with bitterness. Tears slipped down her cheeks, slow and heavy, like the weight of all her feelings crashing down at once. Unable to hold herself up any longer, she sank to the ground, her knees hitting the hard pavement.For a long moment, she just sat there,

"Zach, I can explain," Audrey began, her voice trembling, struggling to find the right words. "The truth is… Frank was my boyfriend before you. Then… you came and took me away with you."Zach’s eyes narrowed as he stared at her, clearly confused. "Then why didn’t you tell me that, Audrey? Why didn’t you tell me Frank was your boyfriend?" His voice was tight, pressing her for an answer.Audrey shifted, her gaze dropping to the floor. "First off, Zach, I didn’t know he was your nephew. Secondly… you never asked," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, as if hoping it would soften the truth.Zach’s eyebrows knit together, his frustration evident. "You were supposed to tell me, Audrey!" he shot back, the hurt in his tone unmistakable. "Do you remember that night at Dylan’s restaurant? When we played get to know your partner better? Why didn’t you tell me then, Audrey?"Audrey clenched her jaw, clearly holding back a mix of emotions. "It slipped my mind," she murmured, glancing away.

Zach held his face, wincing as pain shot through his cheek from Frank’s punch. The force had left his skin throbbing, a bruise already forming. He looked up at Frank, his jaw tightening, anger blazing in his eyes.Without a word, Zach clenched his fist and swung back, his punch landing squarely on Frank’s jaw. Frank stumbled, his balance lost, and crashed to the floor.“Zach!” Kiera screamed, rushing over to her son sprawled on the ground. Her voice was sharp, filled with accusation. “How could you hit my son like that?”Zach shot her a hard glare. “Teach your son some respect, Kiera,” he replied coldly.Without waiting for a response, he turned and stormed upstairs. Audrey was at the top, standing in silence. She gave him a small nod of acknowledgment but kept her eyes fixed on the scene below, saying nothing.Once Zach passed, Audrey slowly descended the stairs, her footsteps echoing in the tense silence. She stopped beside Frank, who was still on the floor, and clapped her hands sl
