Chapter 43Clarissa’s POVThe Secret That Could End UsEverything was going normal. Everything was going fine, at least that was what I thought. Even though I had risked my dreams for Damien, I wanted it to be so, and I had made my peace with that.Life, at that moment, felt like something I could control if I just stayed careful.But to my greatest surprise, Damien started explaining every line of my book to the professor. At first, I thought it was going to lead to something small, maybe something less serious, something I could still handle without it blowing up in my face.I was wrong.I was shocked to the marrow when he said to the teacher, when she asked him how he knew what was on my paper—and Damien replied that it was because he was there when I wrote it. He said he saw me do the project himself.My mouth went dry, I felt dizzy, and my head spun. I didn’t even know if I was breathing properly. And the w

Chapter 42Clarrissa’s povThe Confession That Shattered the RoomEven if I had to lie in order to protect Damien and my relationship, then I had to do it. I told myself that over and over again, like a silent chant in my head.First of all, this wasn’t even about Gladys. It wasn’t even about the class. The real problem was deeper; if Gladys made an announcement in school about my relationship with Damien, then definitely it would reach my brother’s ears.And if it reached my brother… God, that thought alone made my stomach twist into knots.Everyone knew how fast rumors spread in our school. The place wasn’t just filled with students; it was a hotbed of gossip, a breeding ground for stories that could travel faster than wildfire.There were students who lived for drama, for the thrill of turning whispers into headlines, and our school’s social media page was the center stage. Any slip, any scandal, and within minutes it

Chapter 41Clarissa’s POVThe stolen secretI was nervous when I got to school that day because that day was the day that had been announced for us to finally receive our graded papers.I can't help but think about everything else happening in my life—the chaos at home, the forbidden love silently eating me alive, the way Damien and I had been tangled in something we couldn’t even explain.We had been carrying each other in ways words could not describe, and that distraction made me believe I might fail.Yet, when the papers were finally handed out, my hands shook as I unfolded mine. I blinked twice, hardly believing what I saw.An A. Not just an A, but one of the highest grades in the class. An A+ grade!My chest swelled with relief and joy. And immediately it felt like a heavy weight had been lifted, and for a moment, the world seemed light again. I made it!I was overjoyed, not just for myself, but because I could finally make my family proud. More importantly, that A+ meant I was

Chapter 40 Clarissa's POV My brother is such a pain in the neck, always trying to make people feel like they should talk. Once my brother likes you, he’ll be involved in everything that has been done around him and love it when he’s told every single thing, so that’s why he’s so passive. And being his little sister and the last born in the family, he’s always looking out for me, but I don’t want such a lookout. You love someone, yes, but it is not in his duty to stop me. Now I know where the problem is coming from: the fact that we have step-cousins—that’s the main problem. And then my brother’s best friend? Come on. “Man, you can tell me anything,” he said to Damien. And then Damien cleared his throat, his expression tightening as if the weight of the world pressed on him. “You see, what’s bothering me,” Damien began carefully, his jaw tense, “is that I’m graduating early with my master’s degree soon enough

Chapter 39The Question That Could Ruin EverythingMy brother, since he came back, hasn’t rested. Why is he so inquisitive? That’s always him, Jonathan, the one who loves endless talk, who always pokes and digs until he uncovers something. That is my brother.And one thing about him, he absolutely hates it when someone goes for a younger girl, someone not mature enough, because he says it’s like taking advantage of innocence.He’s repeated that so many times in the past that it echoes like a sermon in my head.If only he knew that right beside him, his very own best friend Damien—his so-called brother from another mother—was actually dating me, touching me, kissing me, and last night… fucking me like I belonged to him.If Jonathan ever discovered this, I swear he would lose his mind.The words he had just asked at the table still echoed through me, choking me more than the food I was chewing. Girls with a good shape, wit

Chapter 38Secrets on the Edge of ExposureWe went out for lunch, and I was still getting used to it. My heart hadn’t really calmed down since this morning. Even though I smiled, even though I laughed when I had to, deep inside I was a storm barely contained.My brother sitting right across from me felt like a wall pressing down on me, heavy and suffocating. He had this way of looking at me like he could read me inside out, and that terrified me. He didn’t know; he couldn’t know…he must never know.The only way I could breathe was by distracting myself, so under the table, I pressed my leg against Damien’s. I knew it was too reckless and dangerous and acted exactly, but it was what I needed.His reaction fed me. Watching his face twitch, the way his jaw tightened and then relaxed like he was trying hard to stay calm, it thrilled me. His voice shook whenever he answered Jonathan’s questions, and I bit down on my lip to hide the smirk threa
