“SHIMMA, SHIMMA, WAKE UP. YOUR FLIGHT IS IN A FEW HOURS,” he whispered. In that moment, I realized they weren’t joking about me leaving…Oh God!I completely ignored him, hoping he would just go away. But he persisted.“Shimma, get up. I know you’re not sleeping,” he said, releasing a sigh before continuing. “Look, Shimma, I don’t know how else to explain this. There’s no way I can stop Mattias from being with you. I know how stubborn he is.”“Isn’t that enough proof that he loves me? Why else would you think he wouldn’t back down if he didn’t?” I couldn’t pretend anymore. I sat up, looking deep into his eyes, waiting for his response.He chuckled and took a seat beside me. “Shimma, there’s one thing you should know about men. A man can chase a woman for a long time. He could even go to the moon and back for her. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he loves her. Men are just built to pursue what they want. You’re still a child, and I promise you, Mattias doesn’t love you.” My father’s

LUCAS'S POV (CONTINUED) I took a deep breath, trying to force out a convincing smile. “I’m a friend of Shimma’s. I was hoping to see her. It’s been a while since we last talked.” The guard studied me for a moment, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. Wait here,” he said, stepping back to confer with another guard. I leaned back in my seat, glancing around at the well-kept surrounding. It was strange to think of Shimma living in such a pristine place, surrounded by tall hedges and manicured lawns. She always seemed so down-to-earth, so unlike this world. When the guard returned, he looked less hostile but still cautious. “You can go in,” He said. “Got it,” I said, relieved to be granted entry. As I drove into the compound, the guard eyed me suspiciously. Which made me so uncomfortable. Why was he so suspicious of me. Isn't Shimma allowed to have friends? The moment I parked. I stepped out of the car just in time to see Shimma getting into a vehicle, her face pinched in a way

SHIMMA'S POV.As I sat at the airport, waiting to catch my flight, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was doing something wrong.My mother sat across from me, legs crossed, her gaze focused on her phone.Lucas must have felt bad that I ignored him. But I swear, it wasn't intentional.A few minutes after my father had left my room, he returned, only this time he was more furious, like someone had fueled his anger. Or maybe it was because I failed to get ready for the flight. How on earth could he expect me to leave a man I love so dearly?“Shimma, if you do not get up from your bed this instant, I promise you, I'll ruin Mattias's life, starting with his business. You know what it would do to him, right?” I wiped the tears already clouding my eyes, ignoring his question.“Well, I know you don't want that for him. Now get dressed; the flight is in two hours. I wouldn't advise that you miss it, because Mattias would suffer the consequences,” he said, walking out of my room.I have always

(^_^;)—————————————————————It was him—Blake. Again!As I glanced at him, it felt like he knew I was staring because he was staring right back at me.Quickly, I shut my curtain, my heartbeat racing.This was all planned. My parents, my aunt, Blake—they all conspired together. God! What do I do? How do I escape this?I picked up my phone from my bed and dialed my mother's number.After a few seconds, the call connected. “Shimma, I’ve been calling you! Why didn’t you pick up? You scared your father and me,” she mumbled, and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.Why would I pick up when they’ve basically ruined my life?“Why would you do this, Mum?” I s

It’s been two weeks since I last heard from Mattias.My aunt and her husband called earlier, letting me know they’d be back in a few hours. I leaned against the counter, my gaze fixed on the pie in the oven. I stared so long that I slowly got lost in my thoughts, the sweet aroma mixing with my swirling emotions.Mr. Mattias hasn’t reached out since I left. He could have if he really wanted to. Maybe my parents are right. Maybe Mr. Mattias doesn’t care about me at all. Maybe he never did.God! I hate to think my parents are right. I don’t want them to be right. No! Mr. Mattias loves me. He has to.Just as I was lost in those thoughts, I heard a knock on the door. I straightened up, my brows furrowing in confusion. My aunt and uncle can’t be back yet; in fact, they won’t be returning for a while. Who could it be?I walked to the door, my heart racing with anticipation. “Who is it?!” I called out, my voice shaky. It’s been two weeks since I’ve heard a knock on my door, and all I could
