Chapter 11

Chapter 11"Ah! I need to go home, Jonathan," Laura blurted out suddenly, her eyes darting to her phone again. She stood up quickly, grabbing her things in a flurry of motion. "I have somewhere to go today."Jonathan blinked, caught off guard. "Wait, already?" he asked, but before he could say much else, Laura was already halfway to the door."See you later!" she called over her shoulder, flashing him a quick smile before rushing outside. Jonathan watched as she waved down a cab, his hand halfway raised in a futile attempt to stop her.As the cab pulled away, Jonathan sat back down, a strange, hollow feeling settling in his chest. The coffee in front of him went untouched, cooling rapidly as he stared at the spot where Laura had been just moments before.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jonathan stabbed his fork into the steak on his plate, the sharp clink of metal on ceramic echoing in the otherwise silent dining room. The atmosphere was intense, as usual, during family dinners—his father at the head

Chapter 12

Chapter 12When morning came, Jonathan woke up feeling the usual burden of frustration settling in his chest. His thoughts circled back to his brother, Nathaniel—always Nathaniel. Whenever he felt like this, he had one place to go—Laura. She had always been his solace. And so, without thinking too much, Jonathan grabbed his jacket and headed toward the Levines' house, his mind set on finding comfort.He knocked on the door, expecting the usual, a quiet exchange with Mrs. Levine before getting to Laura. But to his surprise, when the door swung open, Mrs. Levine's face broke into a warm smile. "Oh, hello, Jonathan. Come in, come in," she said, her voice filled with a kindness that threw him off balance.Jonathan blinked, confused. Just the other day, she had barely let him in, her manner cool and hesitant. But now, there was no trace of that hesitation—only an open, welcoming gesture that felt strangely... different. He hesitated for a moment, but then stepped inside, feeling a growing

Chapter 13

Chapter 13Jonathan's grip tightened around the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white. He felt his heart race, a pit forming in his stomach. "What the hell?" he muttered under his breath, his mind spinning with questions, confusion, and a gnawing sense of jealousy.Who is he? Why didn't she mention anything? The sight of Laura walking away with another man made something snap inside him, something he couldn't quite control.Meanwhile, Laura giggled lightly, her arm still linked with the man beside her. "Congratulations, Mr. Elsher. I bet your wife is pretty much occupied now that you have a baby on the way," she said softly, her tone warm and friendly.Mr. Elsher, her father's secretary, chuckled in response. "Thank you, and yes, she is," he replied with a smile, his voice filled with pride. "We're both adjusting, but it's been an exciting time."Laura smiled genuinely, her mood light and carefree. She continued walking with Mr. Elsher as the conversation flowed easily between th

Chapter 14

Chapter 14Jonathan sat on his bed, his elbows resting on his knees, while Tabitha settled just a meter away, watching him closely as she waited for him to talk. He took a deep breath, trying to find the right words."I think Laura has a boyfriend," he finally blurted out, his voice low and uncertain.Tabitha's lips twitched at the admission. "So?"Jonathan frowned, not expecting that response. "What do you mean 'so'? I just said Laura has a boyfriend.""Yeah, I heard you," Tabitha shrugged, almost sounding tired of the subject already. "So what if she has a boyfriend? What's the big deal?""She should've told me! I'm her friend!" Jonathan's voice rose, his frustration clear in every syllable.Tabitha scoffed, shaking her head. "A friend is a friend, Jonathan. It's up to her whether she wanted you to know about certain things or not. That's her personal life."He stared at her in disbelief, unable to accept what she was saying. "But—""No buts," she cut him off, raising her hand as if

Chapter 15

Chapter 15The day of Nathaniel's party had finally come. The venue which was a well-known luxury hotel downtown became busy with staff making final preparations for this event. It was the perfect backdrop for his big announcement. Not only was he back home for good, but he was also going to reveal the woman he intended to marry—a woman no one in the family had known yet, maybe...Meanwhile back at home, the energy was electric. Their parents had been up since dawn, making sure everything would go smoothly. Even though the hotel had its own team of event planners, they couldn't help but double-check every detail. Tabitha, as well, was still in her room, struggling with which dress to wear. She rifled through her wardrobe, tossing gowns aside, too excited to settle on anything. Her curiosity was getting the best of her—after her brother's secrecy, today was the day they'd finally meet the mysterious fiancée.But while the rest of the house was feeling excited with anticipation, Jonatha

Chapter 16

Chapter 16Jonathan, along with his family, finally arrived at the venue and the moment they walked in, the excitement was evident in the air. As they stepped further inside, they were immediately greeted by Nathaniel's dazzling smile, bright enough to light up the entire room."Mom, dad!" Nathaniel exclaimed, chuckling in happiness as he enveloped them in a warm hug. "You're finally here!"His parents beamed, clearly proud of their eldest son. "We wouldn't miss this for the world," his mother replied while her eyes sparkled with joy.Tabitha bounced beside them, her excitement contagious. "What's the plan? Are we ready for the big reveal?" she asked with her eyes wide in anticipation.Nathaniel grinned, glancing around the bustling venue. "Absolutely! Everything's set," he replied confidently. "Do enjoy the food and some fine wine."Jonathan who was already holding a glass, didn't need to be told twice. He swirled the deep red liquid in his glass and took a slow sip, letting the warm

Chapter 17

Chapter 17The event staff moved quickly, almost seamlessly, to clean up the shattered glass at Jonathan's feet. But Jonathan didn't notice any of it. His eyes were glued to Laura who was standing there on the stage. She looked radiant while her hand remained entwined with Nathaniel's. And when her gaze landed on him, she gave a casual wave, as if nothing in the world was wrong, as if everything was completely normal.Jonathan's heart twisted painfully in his chest.Meanwhile, Nathaniel continued his speech, his voice filled with warmth and pride. "We are planning to get married soon," he announced, his arm slipping around Laura's bare back in a gesture that felt far too intimate for Jonathan to handle. "The sooner, the better. Right, honey?" Nathaniel chuckled, leaning in to plant a tender kiss on Laura's forehead. She responded with an adorable smile, a look Jonathan had seen countless times, but never like this—not directed at his brother."I love you," Nathaniel mouthed softly, ju

Chapter 18

Chapter 18Laura glanced around casually with her calm demeanor masking the tension beneath. "Of course, let's go somewhere quiet," she suggested.Jonathan nodded, his gaze never leaving her, and followed her to a small dressing room tucked away from the bustling event. As they entered, the room was filled with an awkward silence, thick with all the unsaid words between them. Laura exhaled deeply, steadying herself as she turned to face him."Yes?" she asked, her voice steady but guarded.Jonathan wasted no time. "What happened to you? You're wearing—" he gestured towards her dress, his disapproval barely concealed— "this. It's too revealing. And your hair, it's different. Why did you change it?" His tone was sharp, laced with disappointment.Laura blinked, taken aback. "Is this what you wanted to talk about?" she asked, shaking her head as if trying to understand. "If it is, then I'm out." She turned, reaching for the door handle, but Jonathan moved quickly, his hand pressing against

Chapter 19

Chapter 19Jonathan hurried after Laura. His footsteps quickened to close the distance between them. He watched her back as she walked ahead, her figure illuminated by the light of the corridor leading back to the main hall. He had so many questions, so much he still needed to say, but it was like the space between them was growing wider with each passing second.When they finally reentered the hall, the lively buzz of conversation halted as eyes immediately locked onto Laura. People swarmed around her, eager to congratulate and to offer their admiration for Nathaniel's soon-to-be bride. The crowd seemed to form a barrier between Jonathan and Laura as they began pushing him further to the edge, where he stood watching in frustration."She's beautiful, isn't she?" a familiar voice beside him said, a hint of pride and amusement lacing the words.Jonathan glanced sideways, spotting Nathaniel standing casually with his hands in his pockets, his eyes trained on Laura with a smile that coul

Chapter 20

Chapter 20Jonathan couldn't take it anymore. The music, the dancing, the sight of Laura in Nathaniel's arms—it was all too much. His heart clenched painfully, but his mind refused to admit what he had long buried. Instead, anger flared up, raw and unfiltered. He cursed under his breath, furiously wiping away the tears that betrayed him."What the hell? They think I'm jealous? Fuck them," he muttered, trying to convince himself that this wasn't about jealousy. It couldn't be.He stormed out of the hall, yanking off his coat and tossing it aside as he pulled out his car keys. Without a second thought, he slid into the driver's seat, slamming the door shut behind him. The engine roared to life, matching the turmoil swirling inside him.Jonathan sped through the city streets as the hum of the engine did little to drown out the chaos in his mind. Before he knew it, he was parked outside the club he frequented. The neon lights flickered above the entrance like a beacon calling him to esca
