Asher had gotten into the habit of walking Camila home.

Tonight was no different.

Once again, he stopped at the gate of her house, a two-story suburban villa tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Camila didn’t go inside right away. Instead, she stood there, staring up at the second floor, toward the window of her bedroom.

    His reason told him he should explain everything… Clear the police of blame, tell her the truth, even if she didn’t want to hear it. But his emotions told him otherwise.If being misunderstood meant she could hold on a little longer… Then maybe it was better to let her believe it.Reason and emotion pulled him in opposite directions.In the end, Asher chose silence.He reached into his wallet, pulled out all the cash he had, and pressed it into her hands.Then he turned and walked away.He didn’t look back.As for whether Camila would go back into that house tonight… That was her choice.After a while, Camila stood up. She wiped the tears from her face, still clutching the money in her hand. She looked in the direction Asher had gone, thinking he had already left without a word.But at the end of the street, he had stopped. He turned back. Even from a distance, she could see him looking at her.Then he spoke. “You think what you’re doing right now is revenge,” he said, his voice carry

    Asher had gotten into the habit of walking Camila home.Tonight was no different.Once again, he stopped at the gate of her house, a two-story suburban villa tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Camila didn’t go inside right away. Instead, she stood there, staring up at the second floor, toward the window of her bedroom.The window had been sealed shut. Thick metal bars, security bars, had been installed across it, making escape impossible.It was almost absurd.‘What kind of parents used heavy-duty security bars not just to keep intruders out… but to keep their own daughter in?’Camila kept her gaze fixed on the window for a long moment bef

    By the next morning, word had already spread across campus, Camila was now Liam’s deskmate.Before, the hostility toward her had mostly stayed within their class. Now, students from other classes, even underclassmen, were going out of their way just to catch a glimpse of her.Camila was exhausted.Even if the people spreading rumors and throwing shade never seemed to get tired, she did. Being the constant target of it all wore her down in a way no one seemed to notice, or care about.After school, as she reached the intersection just outside the campus gates, she spotted them waiting.She already knew what this was about.At first, she assumed it was just another petty clash

    Only about ten dollars remained in Camila’s pocket, and hunger was starting to sound at her stomach. What could she even eat with that?With her backpack slung over one shoulder, Camila wandered the streets for a long time before finally stopping at a small noodle shop in downtown Seattle. She ordered the cheapest thing on the menu, a plain bowl of noodles.The weather was warm, and the steam rising from the broth made most people sweat, but Camila barely noticed the heat. She ate slowly, taking tiny bites, almost like she was trying to make the meal last as long as possible.By the time she finished, it was nearly time to head back for afternoon classes.Still seated, she pulled out the few wrinkled bills she had left, carefully smoothed them flat, stacked them neatly, then tucked them away before leaving the restaurant with her backpack.Asher was a police officer. Finding a teenage girl in his precinct who had nowhere to go during lunch wasn’t difficult. He only checked two or thre

    Only after he disappeared farther down the block did she slowly take the backpack from Liam’s hands.“You call him uncle?” she asked quietly.Liam nodded. “Yeah. He’s my uncle, my dad’s youngest brother.”Camila lifted her eyes, confused.“You’re eighteen. Your dad has to be at least thirty-eight.” She paused, genuinely puzzled. “So how old is your grandfather? Did he have him super late or something? I mean… Asher still looks really young.”Liam laughed, the sound warm and bright, just like the sunlight spilling across the sidewalk.As they walked back toward campus together, he answered easily.“My uncle was adopted by my grandfather. Years ago, Grandpa was working out on farmland outside Riverside when he found him abandoned near one of the fields. He brought him home and raised him as his own.”Camila’s eyes widened.So Asher had been abandoned as a child.Without thinking, she glanced back in the direction he had gone.But he was already long out of sight.“Come to think of it,”

    The whole morning had been a little easier because of Liam’s help. By lunchtime, though, Camila was already rushing out of school. Just half a day had felt like an entire year.Even though sitting next to Liam had made things a little less unbearable, she had no intention of staying for afternoon classes.A part of her was scared, and a part of her still wanted to get into a good university.But getting into a good school was no longer the thing she cared about most.She didn’t believe she could catch up with the class anymore, and compared to staying on campus, surrounded by whispers, strange looks, and endless judgment, it felt easier just to stay away.What mattered most to her now was something else entirely:making her coldhearted father suffer,punishing the stepmother who was still free,and getting revenge on the police who had let a murderer walk.And when she thought about the police, she inevitably thought of Asher. He was different from every officer she had ever met.Afte
