~ THEO’S POVI’m back in the office, and it’s a whirlwind of activity—everyone’s busy, but Laura still hasn’t shown up. Not that I care too much, but I can’t help but wonder why. Maybe Christian hit the lottery or something, and she decided she didn’t need to work for me anymore. Honestly, that’s fine by me because I really don’t even want her around after what I had seen last night. Her being here will only feed me with so many thoughts and I will probably be sad again and I don’t want. As I was typing away on my laptop, I got a text from Jamil asking if I was at work. I completely blanked on reaching out to him last night. After everything that went down, I just needed some space to process it all. I shot him a quick reply saying I was in the office and invited him to come meet me.A few minutes later, Jamil walked in, and I could see the heavy sigh escape him when our eyes met. "Where have you been?""In my office," I replied, trying to keep it casual."I came here this morning, b

As I walked out of his office, I chose to take the elevator. After pressing the button, the doors opened, and my eyes locked onto a little girl with piercing blue eyes and the most innocent face. She smiled at me softly, and at that moment, I recognized her—it was Laura’s daughter."Hello." Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she spoke, making me wonder what had her so animated. I stepped into the elevator, feeling a mix of curiosity and confusion about her presence there, and replied, "Hi." As I spoke to her, I noticed she seemed a bit frightened, yet there was a boldness in her stance as she stood next to me, a small smile playing on her lips. She was clutching a laptop that looked rather heavy, so I asked, "Do you want me to help you with that?"She paused, her expression thoughtful, as if she was weighing whether to accept my offer. I could sense her hesitation, so I added, "It’s fine if you don’t want me to, but I just think it’s a bit too heavy for you.""It’s not mine; it’s f

As the night settled in, I found myself heading to the bakery, my mind buzzing with thoughts of Ariana's birthday. I needed to get her a cake and some balloons, but since I had no clue what her favorite flavor was, I decided to play it safe with vanilla and chocolate. Chocolate has always been my go-to favorite, while vanilla is Laura’s choice. I guess I thought a mix of both would cover my bases, even if I wasn’t entirely sure why I landed on those flavors for Ariana.After picking up the balloons, I briefly considered getting her a gift, but the mall was a solid hour’s drive away, and I didn’t want to risk being late. So, I made the decision to head straight to Laura’s place instead. As I drove through the streets and I parked in front of her house, taking a moment to gather my thoughts. A wave of uncertainty washed over me—was showing up uninvited a bad move? What if Laura thought I was being weird? But I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to do this; I had to uncover the tru

~ KELLY’S POVI knocked on Tamara’s bedroom window, the soft sound echoing in the quiet of the night. Within a minute, she opened it, her brows furrowed in confusion as she looked at me. I couldn’t help but smile, lifting up the pizza box triumphantly and saying, "I got pizza and drinks for us."Her expression shifted to one of delight as she replied, "Great! But why did you have to climb up to my window? You could have used the front door; I’m home alone, and I would have let you in."I shrugged playfully, "I know, but I just feel like it wouldn’t be as romantic as climbing up to your window. I mean, that’s how they do it in the movies, right? It definitely adds some charm."She laughed, just the way I hoped she would. "You are crazy.""I know! Now let me in," I said, handing her the pizza and drinks. She took them eagerly, and I climbed into her room, closing the window behind me to keep the chill-out. Once I was inside, I looked around, taking in the cozy space filled with fairy li

~ LAURA’S POVThat was such a close call. For a second, I thought Theo might actually sense the underlying issues in my family, but thankfully, he didn’t. When he walked into the house, I smelt his perfume making me aware that he couldn’t back. I had to quickly shift things and force a smile and act like everything was perfect like I had this complete, happy family. I could see the pain in his eyes as he took in our situation, and even though it tore me apart to see him hurting like that, I had to keep my guard up. I couldn’t let him see just how messed up everything really was.The moment Theo left, Christian turned to me, his expression hard and intense. "Theo, huh?" he said, his voice low and dangerous."What?" I questioned, feeling the tension rising. I knew that Christian was angry, especially with the way he was glaring at me and Theo, not to mention he asked Theo to stay back for dinner, he definitely did that so he could observe the two of us. "Don’t give me that 'what' crap,
