SYBIL EAGAN POV Today was going to be the happiest day of my life, because despite all the opposition, the rejections of my parents, and all the trials I'd passed through, I was finally going to tie the knot with the only man that my heart had ever beat for.I and Dian Angelo was finally going to be together, and I just wanted to scream for the whole world to know how happy I was.My parents were not in support and had cut me off, so it was going to be a small ceremony at a small chapel with only our close friends in attendance, but it couldn't be more perfect. I only wanted Dian. He was my soulmate. Kushi stepped into the room, a wide smile on her face and a bottle of champagne. I raised a brow, my gaze pointedly on the bottle in her hand. Kushi scoffed, waving the bottle wildly. "This is for the after-party girl, no need to give me that look. Anyways, you look freaking gorgeous. Dian is such a lucky guy, I swear" she gushed, moving towards me, an appraising look in her eyes as sh

FIVE YEARS LATER.SYBIL POV."You really need to try to smile more"."I already agreed to follow you to this stupid resort, so I don't think you should be complaining about my smile or the lack of it" I snapped, and increased the car's speed.Kushi grabbed at her seatbelt, her eyes darting between me and the road. "Hey, slow down, we'll get into an accident at this rate, and if we are dead, we won't be there for the welcome party, you know that right.""I couldn't possibly care about that kushi. I didn't want anything to do with the resort in the first place, which FYI, is in the middle of freaking nowhere"."Well, it's not literally in the middle of nowhere, and your GPS is one of the best," she said showing me the map on my phone that she held. "We are on the right path, so you don't have to worry about us getting lost..."Her voice sounded like a buzzing in my ears as I remembered the last time I drove like this. It was when I and Dian had gone on a road trip together. He'd cheered

SYBIL POV"You look like you need to sleep for five days straight," Dave said with a worried smile on his face as he stared at my image.I forced a smile and dropped my laptop on the table, so I could speak with Dave while also putting away the rest of my stuff. I stepped away from the laptop to get all my work drives. This way, I could at least tie up some of the loose ends at work. Once I finished, I sat back down at the edge of the bed and really took a closer look at Dave's face. "Yeah. Well, you look like you need to wash whatever that is off your face" I motioned to the ash face mask he was wearing.He smirked. "This is how I get all the girls, boss. I'm already ugly enough," he paused and I raised a brow waiting for the question I knew he really wanted to ask. "How's Kushi doing?""Why don't you just call her and find out".Dave sighed then inhaled deeply, his smile slipping. "No way. She'd say I'm a stalker and all that. Don't want a lawsuit. Hey, what happened to your phone?

SYBIL EAGAN POVMy heart galloped as I rushed down the stairs. Why had I shoved him so hard, or fled as if he was a serial killer who was after me with a sword? There was also the fact that I didn't know if he had been trying to kiss me or not. I'd just panicked when I saw_or felt him suddenly closer. I wanted to yank at my hair from all the thoughts whirling through my head, and it got so bad that I didn't see the person coming right in front of me until I bumped into them. "Hey, be careful" Helaena's voice sounded frantic as she steadied me with her hand. "You look like you are being chased by a ghost. Are you ok" Pushing her hand from my arms, I forced a smile on my lips. "I was... I just..." I stuttered, my brain scrambling to find an excuse.Helaena touched my arms, something I noticed her doing often, but at least it made me feel a bit calmer than I normally did when other people touched me."It's ok. You do not need to explain anything to me... I understand".I nodded. "I hav

SYBIL POVIt had been two days, two days of me hiding away in my room to avoid the cringe of bumping into Seth Rodriguez after how our last meeting ended.It was utterly mortifying that I'd freaked out just because I thought he was going to kiss me, when he might have just been leaning in closer to get a closer look, but who in their right mind did that? And I just had to shove him so hard. I tugged at my hair, then dropped into the sofa as I'd come to do every passing minute. Why was my life such a freaking nightmare? My phone pinged alerting me of a video call and I answered once I saw who it was."Guess who just dropped in!" Zach gushed and just seeing his face immediately put me in a good mood. He was one of the few people who had wormed their way into my life by being there when I started having problems with my parents."Don't tell me Kushi convinced you to come to keep me company" I gasped, my eyes widening as I saw the familiar setting behind him. He was definitely at the re

DIAN ANGELO POV "Are you even listening to what I am saying..." I could only vaguely make out the sound of Helaena's voice. My fist was clenched so tight that my knuckles hurt and when I glanced at them, they glistened white with the amount of pressure I exerted.It didn't do justice to the anger that burned through my chest, a wave of anger that should not have been there in the first place, especially not because of Sybil Eagan. I'd thought I would never see her again, I'd made sure we never crossed paths but I guessed the universe was fucking messing with me. Watching her laugh, her voice booming across the space would have been bearable, but watching her touching another man, and the said man touching her like he had a right to made my chest go tight with white-hot anger. She'd moved on just like I knew she would, and it pissed me off. But It was absurd. I hated Sybil, she was nothing to me so why did seeing her affect me so much? Of course, her betrayal was enough for such a

SYBIL EAGAN POV"I honestly do not understand this switch, Sybil. You were ok just some minutes ago" Zach worried, his eyes trying to catch mine. "Are you mad that I talked with Miguel for so long, because if you are, I don't even know what to tell you right now"?I stared at the liquor I'd poured for myself, my gaze boring into the liquid that I hadn't quite worked up the nerve to drink. "I just saw Dian" Zach choked on whatever he wanted to say, took a pause, and I finally met his gaze. He looked dumbfounded."What?" He finally gasped, a disbelieving look on his face. "I'm not sure I heard you right...""I said I fucking just saw Dian" I yelled, then grabbed the glass in front of me, but Zach smacked it out of my hand before I could drink it. Staring at the shattered content, my gaze snapped to Zach and I glared, the anger in my chest urging me to pour out all the fury I felt onto him, but Zach looked furious too."And what if you saw Dian, what the fuck does that have to do with a

SYBIL EAGAN POV.The roaring sound in my ear felt overwhelming, the nostalgic feeling hitting hard as the familiar sound of his voice reached my ears. They were just as I remembered, even deeper now than they had been before.He'd changed a lot in five years, and it was not just his Aura. My hands turned sweaty as I forced myself to appear unaffected as his gaze burned into mine. It was intense, the way he stared at me and my heart rate kicked up until it felt as if I was on the verge of a heart attack.His eyes had always been beautiful and they could always make me feel calm whenever I was derailing, but right now as he stared at me, all I wanted to do was run and hide away from his fury because he looked majorly pissed.Running was not an option tho. I'd already made a decision and I was going to stick to it even if it killed me. It was time I buried our memories and move on with my life. I gazed at him, pasting a puzzled look on my face."I'm sorry, but do I know you" I got out an
