Semua Bab Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Kiandra followed Lucas into his study, her steps deliberate but soft, giving him time to notice that she had walked into the room. Lucas stood by the window, his shoulder tense as he stared out. The tension in the room was noticeable, his rigid stance was one that screamed frustration."Lucas,"Kiandra began in a soft voice as she closed the door behind her.Lucas didn’t turn to face her, but he spoke. "I know what you’re going to say, Kiandra and I, but don’t want to hear it right now.""Too bad," Kiandra replied, her voice firm as she moved closer to him. "Because you’re going to hear it whether you want to or not."Lucas sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly as he finally turned to face her. His jaw was tight, his expression a mixture of anger and pain. "I can’t believe this, Kiandra. After everything we’ve done to protect her, after everything she had been through in his hands, she chooses him. The one person who I thought would never have a place in her life."Kiandra stepped

Zabelle laid in her bed as tears streamed down her face, leaving its trail on her cheeks. The silence in her room was deafening, and it was a stark contrast to the chaos happening inside her. Her father's words echoed in her mind, his disappointment eating deep into her. “... I’m disappointed in her.”More tears streamed at that point, as it was the first time he had ever said such words to her, and it cut into her like a knife.A soft knock on the door broke her out of her thoughts and she quickly wiped her tears as she wondered who it was.Taking a deep breath, she got out of bed and slowly opened the door. Standing there were her parents, and her breath hitched in her throat.Her father had his jaw clenched, and she could still see he was angry, while her mother's eyes held a mixture of sadness and apprehension, which in turn made her apprehensive."Dad," she whispered, her voice trembling.He didn't look at her, merely nodded towards the room. "Come in."Zendaya stepped aside,

Zendaya sighed, a weak laugh leaving her lips as she watched her best friends’ jaws drop in unison. “What?!” Juliette was the first to recover, though her eyes were still wide with disbelief. “Are you telling me… my brother… and you…” Zendaya nodded, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “Yes. It happened when I turned eighteen. It was... a mistake. I got drugged at a party and Jayden rescued me. One thing led to another, and I asked him to sleep with me.”Anaya’s face darkened with concern. “Why didn’t you tell us you were been drugged? We would have been there for you, Z.”“I know,” Zendaya said quietly. “But I didn’t want anyone else to know. It was humiliating, and I thought I could just… bury it. Pretend it never happened.”“Still.”“There’s no use pondering upon the past. I’m fine now.”“Wait, hold up. You’re telling me you’ve been carrying this secret for years? You never thought to tell us such a big thing?!” Anaya said.“It wasn’t exactly something I was proud of!” Zenday

Zendaya parked her car on the driveway before she shut the engine off. As soon she turned it off, she heard the hum of crickets and the distant rustling of leaves in the cool evening breeze. Taking a deep breath, she stepped out, and stared at the house in front of her. It felt so good to be there, she thought to herself.It looked different compared to the first time she had come there when she was a teenager. So much had changed, and the recent renovation made the house even better.The once-broken windows were intact, framed by freshly painted shutters.The cracked steps had been replaced with sturdy, polished wood, and the overgrown weeds that used to surround the mansion were now orderly flower beds. The sight of it tugged at her heart, a mix of happiness and admiration.She took a deep breath and climbed the steps, her hand brushing along the smooth railing. The first time she had touched it, it had been splintered, creaking under her weight. Now, it felt solid, dependable.

Jayden hovered above her, his eyes locked on hers with an intensity that made her feel like she was the only person in the world. The weight of his body pressed her into the mattress, grounding her as she tried to catch her breath from the waves of pleasure that had just rocked through her.But the look in his eyes told her he wasn’t finished.“Are you okay?” he asked, his voice low, almost a whisper. Despite the raw hunger in his expression, there was a softness in his tone that made her heart swell.She nodded, her lips parting as she struggled to find her voice. “Yes,” she breathed. “More than okay.”A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, but it wasn’t his usual cocky smirk. This one was different, softer, more vulnerable. He leaned down, brushing a kiss across her forehead, then her nose, and finally her lips.“I’m not done showing you how much I missed you,” he murmured against her mouth.Her heart raced as his hands slid down her body, his fingers tracing over her curves w
