All Chapters of The Fourfold Desires: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Fiona’s POVThe moment those words dropped, Rowan had vanished from my side before I could blink and stood in front of Helena’s clique in an instant. “The fuck did you say bitch?” Rowan asked, her hazel eyes burning wild fire, ready to spit out balls of fiery flames. Her entire aura was so dark with violent rage and deadly malice, the girl who had uttered those words went white with fear.Rowan advanced closer, nearly towering the girl, her body tense as a tight bow string. “I fucking dare you to repeat those words you just said. I didn’t quiet catch that.”“I-I…” the girl stammered, trembling so hard I almost felt pity for her. Almost. She threw pleading eyes at Helena who watched the drama unfolding in front of her with cruel amusement in her crystal blue eyes. How could someone so pretty be so evil?Some sort of unspoken words passed between Helena and the girl which somehow gave her the boost she needed to stand her ground, the fear in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with h

Fiona’s POVWe stepped into the bustling shopping mall, the bright lights overhead casting a warm glow on the sleek marble floors. The hum of conversations and the clatter of footsteps echoed as we took in the wide array of stores. Lyn and Kai, walking just a little ahead of us, exchanged a glance before turning back to us with a smile.I noticed a few familiar faces from our school. Probably do some last minute shopping for the school's big event. “We’ll catch up with you guys in a bit,” Lyn said, gesturing toward a hallway to the left. “We need to hit the restroom.”Kai gave a nod of agreement, their hands tucked casually into the pockets of their jackets. “You two go ahead. We’ll meet up soon.”Rowan shot Lyn a peeved look, narrowing her eyes dangerously to sluts at Lyn's words yet said nothing. With a slight shrug, I turned to Rowan, feeling the quiet excitement of the mall wash over me. We all knew what was coming—an afternoon of mindless browsing and light-hearted shopping.

Fiona’s POVThe store attendant looked heavily reluctant to do Lyn’s bidding, standing there stiffly with her head held high like a Victorian housekeeper of a rather prestigious household, you know, the insufferable kind?“Is she hard of hearing?” Lyn questioned, his eyebrows arched in genuine amusement. “O-of course not, sir.” the head attendant stammered, dabbing her forehead at the beginnings of perspiration beading her broad forehead. “Really? Then she should do as she’s being told, no?” Kai’s voice boomed darkly from behind me. I couldn’t see him, but his voice alone held this arrogance almost similar to Jin.It was almost a turn on. Almost. Lyn held me tighter, corking his head thoughtfully will waiting for the attendant to begin. Again, I couldn’t see his face, but judging from the deathly shade the head store clerk and the said attendant turned, I’d bet my last dime, he plastered an unhinged look on his face. The one that gave me nightmares when I was younger. Kai’s voice

Fiona’s POVThe evening had settled into a comfortable rhythm, the golden glow of string lights casting soft, shifting patterns across the dance floor. Laughter and music swirled in the air, mingling with the scent of spiced cider and warm candle wax. The clink of glasses and the occasional burst of applause from the dance floor only added to the magic of it all.Halfway through the night, the host—an older man with a bowtie slightly askew and a theatrical flair to his voice—tapped the microphone and announced the start of the free dance session. A cheer rippled through the crowd, and people eagerly made their way to the floor, partners twirling and hands clasping as the music shifted to something more lively.I turned, searching for Rowan only to see her dancing and laughing with some guy. I could swear she was dangerously tipsy and on the verge of being drunk. But then again, she was too much of a free spirit to need liquor courage. All she need was to simply exist and people cou

Fiona’s POVJin and I simultaneously turned our heads sharply to see Kai wheeling furiously towards us. Jin's dark eyes locked onto Kai with unwavering intensity. His jaw was set, his expression unreadable but brimming with quiet fury."I'm comforting Fiona," Jin said, his voice cool yet edged with something sharp, something dangerous. "Unlike you, who made her suffer so much injustice and insults." " Your family has humiliated her, belittled her, treated her like she was nothing in front of everyone. And what did you do? Nothing. You just sat there, silent and pathetic like the little coward you've always been."Kai flinched as if struck, his knuckles tightening around the arms of the wheelchair. Shame pooled deep in his stomach, twisting with something uglier—guilt as he glared at Jin yet refusing for some reason, to look at me. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. But what exactly could he say? Jin was right. He had let it happen. I couldn't blame him, honestly. I would h
