If I were lucky, everyone would still be asleep, and I wouldn't have to face them.But luck has never been on my side.But as I took the first step towards the stairs, I heard a deep male voice crack in my throat, which startled me to the point where I was almost on the floor.I swirled around and realized that they were all in the living room. My stomach dropped. They were all there. Father, mother, and my sister Iris.Iris lounged on the couch like a queen, her lips curled into a satisfied smirk. Mother's eyes were dark with venom and father's stare was so heavy that the room became too hot against my skin.“Look who decided to finally show up!” Mother's voice came through sarcastically, but I could see the darkness in her eyes, and they were consumed with rage.“Leila, where did you spend the night?” Father's voice came through softly.“I went to a friend's place.” I lowered my hea

LEILA’S POVI could hear the sound of my heart pounding; all eyes were on me, and my legs were trembling.My throat burned, my chest caved in and every breath felt like swallowing glass. I couldn't blink because I knew that if I did, all the tears that I had been fighting would betray me.But I didn't want to give my sister that satisfaction she desired. Her lips were curled up in a smirk as she wrapped her arms around Ryder. She had it all, the beauty, the family. She went to the best school, and since I was just an orphan picked up from the slums, I didn't get much education.Ryder was all that I had. Why did she have to take him away from me in the most heartbroken manner? In front of everyone on a day like this that was supposed to be the best day of my life.“Ryder” my voice trembled as I called out to him.“You don't have to do this. I don't know what she told you, but we can make this work”Even as the words left my lips, I hated myself for begging. For clinging to a man who h
