Chapter 55: Why are you here?

He turned again, but didn’t even make it to the door before it suddenly flew open, revealing someone.

“Who co—?” My words died on my lips when my eyes landed on her.

Emma?

I blinked, almost chuckling in disbelief. Maybe I was seeing things—because there’s no way Emma could be here. What on earth would she be doing in this place?

Her eyes widened instantly. She had seen and recognized me. Judging by the shock on her face, she was even more stunned than I was.

“Wh—” She tried to speak, but the words caught in her throat. She was too shocked to say anything.

Instead, the thoughts grew stronger, spiraling beyond imagination, making my heartbeat race inside my chest.I took a deep breath and tried to enjoy nature—maybe that would help.The weather was cool and lovely, and I was in the garden, the one place I needed to be the most.The view was breathtaking. The green grass and lush plants were a testament to how beautiful nature is, shining brilliantly. The flowers were the most stunning of all, each glowing in its magnificent color.Tall trees hung over almost every corner of the garden, offering shade and comfort. Plants were neatly sectioned, and butterflies of various kinds fluttered around gracefully.But deep down, none of it was helping. The more I tried to use the scenery as a distraction, the worse it got. It w

    Chapter 61: Talk to herEmma POV….I yanked my hand out of Charlotte’s grip the moment she succeeded in dragging me to a secluded corner.“Let go,” I hissed, my eyes shooting daggers at her. “Why are you dragging me around like I’m some little child?” I rubbed my left wrist with my right hand—she had gripped it so tightly, it ached.“Girl, you’re such a bitch. How long were you planning to keep this from me? Forever?” she spat, her face twisted like she was ready to tear me apart.I didn’t need her to say it—I already knew what she was talking about. But I wasn’t ready to come clean just yet.“What are you talking about?” I asked coolly. Playing clueless was my specialty, and I was damn good at it.“Spare me the act. I know you better than you know yourself,” she snapped. Here she goes again with that tired line. Annoying as it was, she wasn’t exactly wrong. She knew enough.I let out a heavy sigh, realizing there was no use pretending anymore. She’d already figured things out.“F

    Chapter 58: Bitter Truth Anna POV….I watched as Emma drew closer, and my mind raced with endless possibilities. What’s going on in her head? Why is she walking toward me with that expression? Am I in trouble? Is she about to hit me? I couldn’t think straight. The more I tried to make sense of it, the more confused I became.The suspense ended when she finally stopped in front of me and yanked my hand harshly. That was it—I couldn’t stay quiet any longer.“What is going on?

Why does it leave me hanging when I need it the most?“What are you doing in front of my door? Why are you sneaking around like some shameless thief?” Damien’s voice struck me like a slap across the face. It was harsh enough to jolt words out of my mouth.“I… I wanted to check if you were in, so I could apologize for what I did,” I blurted out. I was shocked by how easily the lie rolled off my tongue.“You want to apologize?” he chuckled in disbelief.That’s it, I thought. He doesn’t buy it.
