View MoreISABELLE’S POVMy eyelids opened slowly. I struggled to push my body to the side of the bed as I tried to make myself comfortable. My breaths were heavy but steady. I rubbed my eyes and just lay there. The energy to lift myself from the bed wasn’t there.“Isabelle.”I heard Matthew’s voice and turned my head toward the door. He peeked his head in before opening the door wider and entering my room.“Good morning,” I murmured, turning my face away from him. I really wasn’t in the mood this morning, and my brain kept replaying the way he acted yesterday.“Are you having difficulty standing up again?” he asked, but I ignored him. I could feel him getting closer to me.“I’m sorry I overreacted yesterday. I shouldn’t have acted that way toward you.” He paused. “Please don’t be mad at me.”I breathed out and turned to him. “I can’t be mad at you. You’ve been supporting me ever since I met you, so I kind of understand how you feel. But that doesn’t mean you should just overreact or snap at me
ADRIAN’S POVMy life is so fucking messed up.The steering wheel trembled under my grip as I drove like a maniac to Daniel’s place. Red lights blurred. Horns blared behind me. I didn’t give a shit. I would’ve traded every damn thing I owned just to appear there in seconds.It felt like years before I got there — even though I knew it was barely five minutes.I parked a little farther from the house so they wouldn’t hear my engine. My hands were shaking when I killed it, not from fear.From something worse.I walked up to the house without knocking. If any of this was true, then I now understood why Daniel never had guards or maids. He didn’t need protection.He was the threat.I reached his apartment door and almost knocked — but stopped when I noticed it was slightly open.Of course it was.Whatever they were doing must’ve been so damn important that they forgot to lock it.I pushed the door open slowly. The house smelled like steam and something sweet. I heard soft voices coming fro
ISABELLE’S POVI slowly stood up, my bump pushing me slightly forward as I made my way to my bedroom. Each step felt heavier than the last. My room was directly opposite Matthew’s. Yes… We’re roommates. I guess that’s the right word for it.I met him the night I arrived here — shattered, heartbroken, barely holding myself together. All I knew was that I wanted to live close to the beach. I didn’t even understand why. Maybe I thought the ocean could swallow my pain the way it swallowed everything else.I was sitting near the open water with nothing but a small suitcase and a heart too broken to carry. The waves were loud, but not loud enough to drown the sound of my own thoughts. That was when he came to me. He asked why I was crying. I still don’t know what made me talk to him. Maybe it was desperation. Maybe it was loneliness. Maybe I just needed someone — anyone — in that moment.But since that night, he has been a very good friend to me.Tiredly, I slipped out of the big jeans I ha
ISABELLE’S POVThe ocean never asked questions.That’s why I liked it.It didn’t care who I used to be. It didn’t care who I lost. It didn’t whisper betrayal into my ears at night. It just moved steadily, endlessly, and alive.I pressed my palm gently against my stomach as another breeze rolled in from the Pacific. Five months.Five months of carrying a life he knows exists. But he doesn’t care.My fingers traced the small curve beneath my sundress. The doctor said the baby could hear now. Sometimes I wondered if it could hear my heart racing whenever Adrian’s name crossed my mind.I swallowed.No.I wasn’t supposed to think about him today.“Hey, you’re zoning out again.”I blinked and turned to see Matthew walking toward me, holding two coconut drinks with an amused smile. His hair was messy from the wind, his t-shirt dusted with soil from helping me earlier.“I’m not zoning out,” I muttered. Matthew is one of my close friends I have made when i came to Hawaii, he cares about me way
