Hate Me, Desire Me Chapter 44: Come Here
TIARA MCKENZIE'S POINT OF VIEWThe house had settled into a quiet rhythm after the broadcast, the kind of hush that comes when everyone drifts into their own corners, retreating into private worlds. Genesis’s laughter floated faintly from upstairs as she played, her little voice spilling through the floorboards like sunlight through cracks, bright and untouchable. Vera had retreated to the study with a stack of paperwork, her pen scratching quietly against the silence, while Cameron busied himself in the kitchen, humming a tune under his breath as he chopped vegetables.The air was thick with the scent of garlic and something warm simmering, but it did little to dispel the heaviness that pressed down on me. I sat alone on the sofa, staring at the darkened television screen, its reflection showing a version of me I barely recognized, shadows curling around my features.My phone buzzed suddenly against the coffee table, vibrating loud enough to make me jump. The sharp sound shattered th

TIARA MCKENZIE'S POINT OF VIEWThe house had settled into a quiet rhythm after the broadcast, the kind of hush that comes when everyone drifts into their own corners. Genesis's laughter floated faintly from upstairs as she played, her little voice spilling through the floorboards like sunlight through cracks. Vera had retreated to the study with a stack of paperwork, while Cameron busied himself in the kitchen, humming a tune under his breath. I sat alone on the sofa, staring at the darkened television screen, its reflection showing a version of me I barely recognized.My phone buzzed suddenly against the coffee table, vibrating loud enough to make me jump. I glanced at the screen, and my chest tightened at the sight of the international country code. The numbers looked foreign, carrying a weight that set my nerves on edge. My heart kicked hard, and for one reckless second, I thought it might be him. My fingers hovered just above the device, trembling with hesitation. The air around m
Hate Me, Desire Me Chapter 42: On Screen
TIARA MCKENZIE'S POINT OF VIEWThe first light of morning slipped past the curtains, painting the room in a pale golden hue. I blinked awake slowly, and the first thing my eyes landed on was the silver bracelet around my wrist. The lily charm glinted against the sunlight, innocent and beautiful, as though it had been meant for me all along. I turned my arm gently, considering unclasping it before anyone could see, but my fingers hesitated. Somehow, it felt heavier than its weight. It was not just metal. It was Elijah's presence lingering on me, even across oceans.I lay there for a while, staring at the ceiling, feeling the way silence pressed against my ears. Sleep had not been generous last night. The bracelet had kept reminding me of him, of everything that was said and unsaid, of everything we were and weren't. My heart argued between removing it to protect myself and keeping it to protect the fragile thread that still existed between us. I hated the pull, the way one simple gift
Hate Me, Desire Me Chapter 41: The Gift
TIARA MCKENZIE'S POINT OF VIEWThe house had gone quiet after dinner, filled only with the hum of the radiator and the muffled laughter of children behind closed doors. I stood barefoot in the kitchen, stirring honey into a mug of tea while the snow outside started to fall. The counter lights cast a soft amber glow across the marble, and everything in me ached with the kind of fatigue that came after too many days of being strong. I had tucked Genesis in hours ago, kissed her cheek twice just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. She looked peaceful here, like her world hadn't been broken in half just weeks ago.Cameron came padding in, still in his socks, with a half-smirk on his face and a packet of cookies in his hand."Is this where the sad moms hang out now?" he asked, hopping onto one of the stools.I lifted a brow. "You're the one with cookies at midnight. I should be asking you that.""These are comfort cookies," he said, opening the wrapper with exaggerated care. "Strictly medicinal
Hate Me, Desire Me Chapter 40: Switzerland
TIARA MCKENZIE'S POVThe sunlight slipped through the edges of the hotel curtains, casting soft golden stripes across the carpet and the side of the bed. I sat on the armchair, legs pulled to my chest, wearing the same clothes from last night and feeling like my skin didn't belong to me. My eyes burned, not from tears, but from the kind of exhaustion that sits in the bones after something inside you has shattered. I didn't know what time it was, but the quiet hum of the city waking up made it clear that morning had arrived whether I wanted it to or not. Everything about this day felt too bright for the kind of heaviness I was carrying.Elijah was asleep on the floor, his back turned to me, a pillow wedged under his head and the spare blanket bunched around his legs. He hadn't said much after I told him I was still leaving. No
Hate Me, Desire Me Chapter 39: I'm Sorry
TIARA MCKENZIES' POINT OF VIEW"Sorry."The word slipped from Elijah's mouth like smoke, soft and low, but it burned straight through me. I didn't know how one syllable could unravel me like that, but it did. It caught me off guard, pierced a place I didn't even know was still vulnerable. And in that moment, everything in me started to fall apart.It wasn't just an apology. It was a wound reopening after years of pretending it had healed. It was the crack in a dam I'd reinforced with silence. And now, nothing could stop the flood.I froze where I stood, staring at the night sky beyond the balcony. I didn't trust myself to look at him, not yet. If I did, I might drown in whatever was written on his face. And I wasn't

TIARA MCKENZIES' POINT OF VIEWThe television played on low volume, casting cold blue light across the suite walls. I sat still on the edge of the bed, the tips of my fingers curled around the
Hate Me, Desire Me Chapter 37: The Hunt Is Over
TIARA MCKENZIES' POINT OF VIEWThe darkness in the storm tunnel pressed down like a second skin, damp and unrelenting. The narrow shaft beneath the garage stank of rust, stagnant water, and mildew, but it was our only path to freedom. Each step we took echoed too loudly in the confined space, boots
Hate Me, Desire Me Chapter 36: Amidst The War
TIARA MCKENZIE'S POINT OF VIEWThe moment the second squad burst from the armored truck, I knew this wasn't a tactical hit anymore. This was execution. They weren't here to warn or threaten. They came to wipe us out. Their formations were tight, fast, and aggressive, like wolves released after days
Hate Me, Desire Me Chapter 35: Master
TIARA MCKENZIES' POINT OF VIEW We moved fast. The streets of Laguna were still damp from the late rain, the mist rising like smoke from the pavement. The lights from far-off sari-sari stores flickered in the corners of my vision. We didn't have time to dwell. Not when danger was a whisper away. I
