RAIDEN’S POVI drove to Gaven's apartment again the next day, feeling a sense of comfort in knowing that I had someone to talk to who understood what I was going through. Gaven greeted me at the door with a smile and a pat on the back."Hey, brother. How are you feeling today?" he asked."I'm feeling a little better, actually," I replied. "I've been thinking a lot about what you said yesterday, about taking some time for myself and focusing on what makes me happy."Gaven nodded, looking pleased. "That's great to hear. Have you given any thought to where you might want to go on a trip?"I shook my head. "Not yet. But that's something I'm definitely considering.""Good," he said, his expression serious. "You need to take care of yourself first and foremost. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise."I smiled, feeling grateful for his support. "Thanks, Gaven. I really appreciate your advice and your friendship. And speaking of that, I wanted to talk to you about something else.""Okay, sh
DAVINA’S POVIt's been a while since I started dating Ignacio, and though he's a really nice guy, I can't help but feel like there's something missing. He's always so sweet and caring, and he's always there for me when I need him. But, I can't seem to shake the feeling that there's something more out there for me.I mean, don't get me wrong, I know I shouldn't be looking for excitement in my relationships, but I can't help it. I crave adventure, and Ignacio just doesn't give me that. Every day feels like the same routine, and I'm starting to get bored.I miss the thrill of being with someone like Raiden. Sure, he was a bit of a wild card, but that's what made him exciting. Being with him was like being on a rollercoaster, and I loved every second of it. But, things didn't work out between us, and I know I need to move on.I just wish I could find that same spark with Ignacio. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm the problem. Maybe I'm just not cut out for a stable, predictable relationship.
Raiden’s POVI knew I had to make a decision, and it wasn't an easy one. But seeing Davina with Ignacio made me realize that her happiness was what mattered the most. I couldn't let my feelings get in the way of her finding true love and happiness.It wasn't fair to Davina or Ignacio to keep pretending that I didn't have feelings for her. It was time for me to move on and let her go. As much as it hurt, I knew it was for the best.I couldn't continue to be selfish and hold on to her when I knew deep down that our relationship would never work out. It was time to let go and give her the chance to find someone who could truly make her happy.I just hoped that in doing so, I could find my own happiness as well. It wasn't going to be easy, but I had to try. For Davina's sake and for mine, it was time to move forward and start a new chapter in our lives.I was grateful to have Karla by my side. Despite all the drama that came with our brief relationship, she remained a good friend to me. S
DAVINA’S POVI sat in the kitchen of the restaurant, the only source of light coming from the dimly lit overhead bulbs. It was late at night, and I had been working on my recipe book for hours. I had been so absorbed in my work that I had lost track of time.The restaurant was quiet, the only sounds coming from the occasional clank of pots and pans or the humming of the refrigerator. I was surrounded by the smells of the kitchen, the comforting aroma of simmering spices and herbs, and the sharp tang of onions and garlic.As I continued working, my mind began to wander, and I couldn't help but think about Raiden. Despite my best efforts to push him away, he was still on my mind. I knew that he was with Karla now, and it made me feel uneasy.I tried to focus on my work, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Raiden. I wondered if he was happy with Karla, if he still thought about me at all. I shook my head, trying to clear away the thoughts. I couldn't keep dwelling on the past.But as h
Raiden’s POV Kitchen SceneAs I walked towards the restaurant, I noticed that it was open even though it was already late at night. My heart started racing, thinking that someone had broken in. I couldn't afford to lose anything from the restaurant, especially with the new business venture I was starting up.I cautiously walked towards the entrance and peered through the glass door, trying to see if anyone was inside. That's when I saw a figure in the kitchen, moving around.My first thought was to call the police, but something made me pause. I knew the alarm system would have gone off if there was a break-in, and there was no sign of forced entry.Taking a deep breath, I opened the door slowly and stepped inside, trying to make as little noise as possible. I quietly made my way towards the kitchen, ready to defend myself if necessary.As I got closer, I saw that it was Davina standing in the kitchen with flour all over her face. I couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight o
Ignacio POVI was at the security desk when the security guard came over and whispered something to me."What do you mean Raiden was alone with Davina in the restaurant?" I asked, my voice low so that nobody else could hear."He left the restaurant and then came back a little while later saying he forgot something," the security guard replied. "But he ended up spending time with Davina in the kitchen."I frowned, trying to make sense of what he was saying. Why would Raiden need to go back to the restaurant just to get something he forgot? And why was he alone with Davina in the kitchen?"Did anything else happen?" I asked, my voice still low.The security guard hesitated for a moment before continuing. "I saw them talking and laughing together," he said. "It looked like they were having a good time."My heart sank at the thought of Raiden and Davina together like that. I couldn't help but feel jealous and angry, even though I knew that I had no right to be. Davina was with me now, and
DAVINA’S POVI miss him so much. Why did he have to leave? It was all my fault, wasn't it? I shouldn't have been so harsh on him. But I couldn't help it. He was always taking Karla's side, and it made me feel so invisible. And now, he's gone. Maybe he found someone else, someone who would treat him better than I did. Or maybe he just got tired of dealing with my mood swings and my constant nagging.But now, there's Ignacio. He's been so kind and caring towards me. Always checking up on me, making sure I'm okay. It's almost like he knows what I'm going through. And now, what if he propose to me? I'm so scared. What if I'm not ready for this? What if I say no? I don't want to hurt him, but I don't want to get hurt either.I need to sort out my feelings. I need to figure out what I want. Do I still love Raiden? Or am I ready to move on and start a new chapter with Ignacio? I need time to think, but I don't want to keep him waiting. He deserves an answer, and soon.Maybe I should talk to
RAIDEN’S POVI woke up feeling terrible. My head was pounding, my nose was stuffed, and my throat was scratchy. I knew I wouldn't be able to go to work today. I texted Ignacio to let him know and tried to go back to sleep, but the pain was too much.That's when Karla walked in. She saw how miserable I was and sat down next to me, putting her hand on my forehead to check for a fever. I didn't think much of it, she's always been a caring friend.But then, she started stroking my hair and rubbing my back. It felt nice, and I was too sick to care about anything else. I must have dozed off because the next thing I knew, my head was on her lap and she was humming softly.I opened my eyes and saw her looking down at me, concern etched on her face. I could tell she genuinely cared about me, and I felt grateful to have a friend like her. I didn't know what Davina would think if she saw us like this, but at that moment, I couldn't bring myself to care. All I knew was that Karla's comfort was ex
