Gabriel POV

“Just let me handle him,” I said to Henry after he'd punched the man who had snatched the bag.

"You should learn not to touch things that belong to me!" Henry smirked, snatching the bag back and walking away.

"You!!," I said to the man sitting on the floor, "Get out of here!"

Then I hurried after Henry.

Since Camelia came around , I've been seeing sides of him I'd never noticed before. “Were they always there, and I just ignored them? Or is he only now developing these traits?”

For 15 years, I'd stood by Henry's side, witnessing firsthand the scars of his loveless childhood. He had learned to rely solely on himself, to shield his heart from the world. But in doing so, he built walls that kept everyone at arm's length including me. “I'm still confused about what changed.”

“Don't you think you're doing too much?” I asked as I hurried behind him.

“Doing too much, you say?” Henry shot back. “A stranger just snatched my wife's bag!, and you think I'm doing too mu

    “Henry!”A deep voice echoed in the room—familiar, yet distant. It was too real to be part of any dream.I stirred, barely opening my eyes.Maybe I imagined it.“Henry!”This time, it was louder and sharper.I jerked upright in bed, heart racing. And there he was.My father, standing right before me.I froze almost immediately.He wasn’t supposed to be here. Not now. Not yet. Not after months of being halfway across the world. And definitely not first thing in the morning.His face was like a storm—furious, with his eyebrow furrowed.His presence was ice cold.“Is this how you’ve decided to run the company?” he barked, arms crossed like he’d been waiting years to explode.My mouth parted slightly. My mind was still catching up.“When… when did you get back?”“Does it even matter now, Henry?” he snapped. “Is this the mess you want to turn Castle into?”I blinked, still trying to understand what he was referring to. My limbs moved before my brain could register throwing off the covers, I

    Camelia POVI remained silent for a few seconds, the thought of running crossing my mind—again. Why am I always the one running away? He’s the one who made the move. And it wasn’t even that deep last time—we were only trying to prove something to Lydia. And now? He hurt his hand and used his lips instead.That explained the situation… right?“Camelia,” Henry called softly. “I’ve gotten it off,” he muttered with a faint smile.“Thank you,” I whispered, picking at my fingers. I quickly dropped them and tried to act like it was nothing.“Let’s finish up,” he added, but he kept fumbling with his left hand.“Here,” I said, reaching across the dining table to take the spoon from him.“What?” he mumbled with food in his mouth.I got up and walked over to where he sat, gently taking the spoon from his hand.“Let me do it,” I said, persuading him.“It’s actually fine, Camelia… I can manage—”“No, you can’t, Henry. You’ve barely had three spoonfuls,” I replied, glancing at his bandaged hand han

    Gabriel POVShe deserved every word I uttered. All I want is for us to go back to the way we were...As I slid into the driver’s seat, I cast a glance at the back. Henry had dozed off, which was for the better. At least he wouldn't be asking about Camelia.With that, I pulled out of the hospital parking lot.We were only a few minutes into the drive when Henry stirred awake."Where is Camelia?" he asked groggily, while his eyes were scanning the car."Uh… she said she wanted to pick up a few things from the market," I lied."What?" he blurted out, jerking forward, then he winced in pain, clutching his sprained arm more carefully."Stop this car right now!"What the hell does he mean by that?"Gabriel, pull over. Right now!" he barked, louder this time.Startled, I hit the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road."Where did you say Camelia went again?""She said she wanted to stop by the market and would head home afterwards," I repeated, trying to keep my tone calm."Gabriel, r

    Henry POV She looked down at her phone like she’d forgotten it was even there. “Oh. Right.” She took her phone and scrolled through, and her face changed almost instantly. Then the phone rang. “Hi, Jackson,” she answered, a small smile forming on her lips. Jackson. I remembered the name. I met him once. Tall, smug, lingering around her, the other day at the office. I tightened my grip on the wheel trying to remain focused on driving. “Yes… I’ll think about it and get back to you,” she said, then ended the call. “What did he want?” I asked, trying to sound casual. Just checking in,” she replied. “We went to school together. He’s an old classmate. I told you that.” I raised a brow. “Since when do classmates you meet after so many years start calling out of nowhere?” “He didn’t just call out of nowhere, Henry. We bumped into each other at the office a few weeks ago. I told you that.” I kept my eyes on the road. “I remember. I also remember warning him.” She turne

    Lydia's POV "Miss Camelia is inside, but I think you’ve gotten everything all mixed up." I turned around and saw Mrs. Raymond standing behind me. “Mother” "Do you have any idea what they might be talking about?” I asked, half-whispering. “We literally had breakfast together, Lydia. I’m as lost as you,” she replied. “Ma’am,” one of the officers interrupted, “we’d appreciate it if you didn’t obstruct our investigation.” “Obstruction?” I repeated, raising an eyebrow. “Of course not.” “Please, come inside,” I said quickly, ushering them into the house. “Camelia’s room is just upstairs. You can find her there.” As they ascended the stairs, my curiosity simmered just beneath the surface. I wanted this to be about Camelia. Something serious. Something that’ll put her in a big mess. But sooner or later, I’d know what exactly is going on. Camelia POV Most of my things had already been moved to a new room, just a few door down from Henry’s. He said he wanted me closer.

    Henry’s POV “Die?” I repeated holding her hands as they were trembling. Yes,” she whispered through muffled sobs. “I saw someone die, Henry.” “Come here,” I said gently, stepping closer. She didn’t resist when I reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. Her body trembled under my touch. “You’re okay now,” I murmured, guiding her to sit on the edge of her bed. “You’re safe.” She nodded faintly, hugging herself. “What exactly did you see?” I asked, lowering myself beside her. I…” she began, with her voice shaking. “I had just finished having my bath when I stepped to the balcony to get some air. I was looking at the flowers when I saw…. she paused letting out a loud sigh... across the way, on the opposite balcony… a man was stabbing a woman. He stabbed her multiple times, her voice cracked as covered her face with both hands. It just happened so fast,” she continued, trembling. “I was frozen. I couldn’t move. And then… he looked at me. His eyes met mine, and the
