Zeta’s POV

“Relax,” Roland says quickly, stepping in front of me when he notices the direction of my stare. “A friend invited her. Don’t do anything stupid.”

His voice is calm, almost pleading, but it barely reaches me. My eyes stay locked on Isabella across the room.

    Zeta’s POV “Relax,” Roland says quickly, stepping in front of me when he notices the direction of my stare. “A friend invited her. Don’t do anything stupid.” His voice is calm, almost pleading, but it barely reaches me. My eyes stay locked on Isabella across the room. She’s still draped over Marcus’s lap like she belongs there, laughing too loudly at something he says. The sight twists something deep in my gut—not jealousy, not exactly. More like a sense of chaos spreading through something I’ve been trying desperately to keep under control. What the hell is she really doing here? Soon. Roland keeps talking beside me. “Zeta, seriously. Just let it go tonight.” I ignore him. Before he can stop me, I walk straight across the room. The party noise swells around me, music pounding from the speakers, glasses clinking, people shouting over each other—but everything fades into the background as I approach the couch. Marcus looks up first. He grins when he sees me. “There he is—” I gra

    Zeta’s POV The doorbell rings just as I loosen my tie and drop my keys on the console table and I’m not expecting anyone. For a split second, my chest tightens as I wonder who it may be. My mind doesn’t go to friends. It goes to problems. Someone bringing me bad news. Ever since the whole fiasco started, I don’t trust unexpected knocks. Pushing the thoughts, I open the door anyway. Roland stands there with a wide grin, holding up a brown paper bag filled with some snacks. Marcus is beside him, balancing a large container and two six-packs of imported beer. “Surprise,” Roland says. “We brought peace offerings.” He says. Marcus lifts the container proudly. “Homemade pancakes. Don’t ask who made them. Just know they’re edible.” I blink at them. “It’s six-thirty pm…” “Exactly,” Roland cut me off immediately. “Perfect time for this.” They push past me before I can fully process it. I close the door slowly, still confused. “What’s going on?” I ask. Marcus heads straight toward t

    Lyssa’s POV Mom’s call comes in as I’m about to order a ride home. She’s upset when I inform her that I’m still in class but I can’t find any ride at the moment. “I’m still on campus,” I say, stepping away from the building entrance so other students don’t overhear. The late afternoon air is cool against my skin. “I just finished class. I’m trying to book a ride, but the app keeps saying no drivers available.” “What do you mean no drivers available?” Her voice rises dramatically. “You’re standing there alone? Are you safe?” “I’m fine,” I say quickly. “It’s still early. There are people around so you don’t have to worry.” “That’s not the point.” She exhales loudly into the phone. “Why didn’t you ask Zeta to come pick you up?” There it is, bringing up Zeta again. “He’s working,” I reply gently. “He has meetings today.” “And?” she shoots back. “He’s your husband. If you call him, he’ll come.” I close my eyes for a second. She’s not entirely wrong. If I called Zeta and told him I

    Lyssa POV Later on, Clara and I stop by a coffee store a few blocks away from the school to chat and catch up. The café is warm and softly lit,. There’s a display of pastries near the counter and a faint sound of conversation around us. It feels normal. Safe. Far from the chaos that exploded in class earlier. Clara holds the door open for me. I step inside, trying to shake off the worries still clinging to my chest. My mind keeps replaying Isabella’s face when she snapped at me. The way everyone stared. We settle at a small table by the window. Clara watches me carefully as she sets her purse down. “You handled that better than I would have,” she says. Before I can respond, she changes the subject gently. “How’s Anita?” A small smile pulls at my lips. “She’s good. Busy, as usual.”she ask. Clara had seen Anita once and I’d also told her about Anita. A few days ago. Clara was walking toward campus and this sleek black car pulled up near the entrance to drop me off. I can picture

    Lyssa POV Soon, the class is filled with chatters and giggles when a lady face steps in with a broad smile. At first, I don’t look up. I’m still half-listening to Clara telling me about the ridiculous way one of her professors mispronounced a Latin term. The room feels lighter than it did earlier. Then the laughter slowly fades. The change in atmosphere is subtle but immediate as it is now silent. Curiosity made me lift my head. And my heart drops at who I saw. It’s Isabella. She stands at the front of the class, perfectly poised, dressed in a cream-colored fitted dress that looks effortlessly expensive. Her dark hair falls over her shoulders in soft waves. Her makeup is flawless. Her smile is wide and confident. Zeta’s lover. For a second, I forget how to breathe. The class straightens almost instinctively. Conversations die down. Even the habitual whisperers in the back row go quiet. She carries herself like she belongs at the front of every room she walks into. “Good morning

    Lyssa POV The next day, I arrived at the physical tutorial class and my colleagues swarmed around my desk. It happens so fast I barely have time to set my bag down. One second I’m pulling out my notebook, trying to settle into the familiar routine of class, and the next second there are bodies crowding around me, voices overlapping, questions firing from every direction. “Is it through you are married to your brother.” One ask, I wasn’t even expecting it. “Lyssa, is it true your husband just closed that international deal last week with his mistress?” What? Where are they hearing all this? “I saw his photo on a business magazine cover again!” Said another. “Do you actually go to those luxury events with him or his mistress won’t let you?” “Is his company really worth that much?” My fingers freeze over the zipper of my bag. I knew this would happen eventually. Ever since Zeta’s parents returned from their honeymoon, the one that somehow turned into a media frenzy—and Zeta star
