Athonia’s POV

The moment I walked in and saw my sister with her friend Dora, a wave of embarrassment fell on me. I turned and locked the door, trying to steady my breath, gathering strength before I spoke. What was I even supposed to say first? I had promised myself I would be calm and gracious, but somehow I always ended up being the one to apologize, even when I was the one who had been hurt.

How could I just sit and smile while my sister lived happily after betraying me with my ex-fiancé? For once, she couldn’t bear seeing me with Ethan, but when she started dating Jayden, she did it openly, posting their smiling faces on holidays, flaunting their love, did she ever stop to think about how it crushed me?

“Hi, Athonia.” Dora was the first to greet me, lifting a hand in a friendly wave. She was always hard to figure out. Being Maya’s maid of honour made me dislike her more than I wanted to admit, though she’d never done anything to deserve it. It was just the way I felt.

“Hey, Dora.

    Ferdinand’s POV“Mum!” That was the first thing that left my mouth as we stepped into the empty hospital room. The moment I saw no one there, a part of me almost wished it would stay that way. Maybe they had moved her to another room, or maybe she just was not around.Mum walked straight to the bed, then rushed back out to check the number on the door.“It is number seventeen…” she muttered, stepping inside again. My eyes stayed fixed on her. It felt as if the room had swallowed time itself, and I could not tell what was going through her head.“Stop staring at me like that,” she snapped, her tone cutting through the silence. I blinked, not sure what she meant. Was my expression mocking her?“How am I staring at you? Honestly, I should be the one upset. You dragged me here to meet someone who feels more like a ghost than a real person. Are you certain about this?”“She might be in the bathroom, or maybe she went to buy something… or even to the doctor’s office,” Mum replied quickly.H

  • A One Night Stand That Felt Like Revenge   Was Dora born with a dark mind?

    Maya’s POV“I still cannot believe what you told me on the phone. Are you saying your younger sister actually struck you in the stomach, even though she knows you are pregnant? She really did that? I wanted to ask again when no one else was around.”I could see the shock written all over Dora’s face. When I had called her, I had poured out my pain without holding back, and she immediately booked a private jet just to come here. That is the kind of friend she has always been, whatever happens to me feels like it happens to her.Dora was also the one who encouraged me years ago, when I first admitted I had feelings for Jayden back when he was still engaged to my sister. She had guided me through it all, and I could never forget her role in that part of my life. Sometimes, I even felt closer to her than to my own sister, Athonia.That was why I trusted her with the truth now. Dora always cared more about my feelings than anyone else.“Athonia did more than strike my stomach. If that was

  • A One Night Stand That Felt Like Revenge   Am I thinking too much?

    Athonia’s POVAfter drinking a glass of water, I glanced at the clock. “Mom, Dad, I need to see Maya,” I said as I stood up. Then I added, “Mommy, did uncle Lando take the day off today?” Uncle Lando is our driver. Before they could answer, Jayden walked into the house.“Thank God you are here. How is my daughter doing?” Mum asked, her voice filled with worry.“I already told you, she is getting better. There has been a lot of progress. What she really needs now is rest.” Jayden’s eyes shifted to me, and for a second I feared he was disappointed in me. Why would he not be? Was I not the one who caused his wife to end up in this condition?After hearing Jayden’s answer, Dad turned back to me. “The driver is not around.”“If that is the case, I can manage. I am feeling much better now,” I said with a forced smile. Honestly, it felt more fake than real. But despite how much I wanted to drive again, my parents still would not let me.“No, Athonia. I will not allow that. I will take you,”

    Athonia’s povEven after several minutes had passed on our way back home, sitting together in the back of the car, the memory of what happened at the hospital kept replaying in my mind. Our lips had were locked for what felt like forever, maybe three whole minutes, before I finally pulled back, breathing hard.What on earth was wrong with me? Seriously, Athonia, where did your values go? What happened to being a proper….?I could remember that I shifted away, glaring at him. “You’re the only guy I know who kisses the girl he’s supposedly courting like that,” I muttered. My lips were still tingling, and they were the real traitors here.The moment Ethan’s lips touched mine, I’d kissed him back without thinking. That’s what lust does. It sneaks in and takes control.“I’m not courting you,” he said, eyes fixed on me in that unnerving way of his. “You’re mine. I don’t care what label you put on it.” His voice was low but intense, and it sent a shiver down my spine.“Oh, right. The whole f

    Ferdinand’s POV“Mum, where have you been for the past two days?”I didn’t even wait for her to step inside the mansion. The moment she got out of the car, I went straight to her. She looked nothing like the strong woman I knew. Her face was pale, her shoulders slumped, and her eyes had the emptiness of someone who had pushed themselves past the limit. It was as if she had been running for hours without food or water. Seeing her like that made my chest tighten.“Ferdi, I’m fine,” she said, but her voice lacked its usual strength.“Fine? Looking like this? For two days, you’ve been gone. Where were you? Did someone take you?”She gave a small shrug, not even meeting my eyes. “Do I look like I’ve been kidnapped?” Without another word, she walked past me into the house, as if my worry meant nothing.For two days, she had answered my calls but refused to tell me where she was. I had gone from house to house, checking every close friend she had, but she was nowhere to be found. My patience
