JULIA

I knew I told Sarah I would have her fetch me. However, I still entered Evan’s car, looking out of the window as he drove me home.

There were a lot of questions in my mind, and after a few more seconds of hesitating, I finally had the courage to ask him.

“Why did you defend me?” I asked.

Evan bit his lip, his gaze focused on the front. “Because you were right,” he muttered.

I couldn’t help but chuckle. “Wrong question. I meant—why aren’t you following through with whatever your dad is telling you now? Oh, and Heather, too. You left her looking pretty devastated. Not a very good boyfriend move, don’t you think?”

Evan let out a deep breath. I turned to him, but I could tell he couldn’t look at me just yet.

“I’ve known for a long time that my dad wasn’t good enough,” he started off. “From a young age, I saw how my grandfather scolded him for not being great. He was the only son—the one to inherit the entire business. My grandfather was very efficient, very patriarchal too, s

  • His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret   Chapter 19: ANDY

    ANDYI glanced around the venue, searching for one person in particular. She wasn’t here yet. That was strange. Callie was always early—one of the first to arrive, usually with her arms full of the food she had prepared, offering it to her friends and to me. Ever since we started rehearsing for the play, it had always been like that. I’d arrive, and she’d be there. I’d tell her she was too much for me, and she’d roll her eyes, smile, and ignore me, just like she always did. But today, she wasn’t here. “Here you go!” Athena’s voice startled me, pulling me from my thoughts. She handed me my bag, swinging it off her shoulder with a little too much force. “You left this in the music room.” “Oh. Thanks.” I took the bag and nodded, reaching for my phone from the front pocket. The same conversation with Callie was still open—the one about dinner. The one I never really responded to. I stared at it for a moment, my thumb hovering over the keyboard. Should I text her? Should I ask if sh

  • His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret   Chapter 18: CALLIE

    ARDENI stirred the rice on my plate, but I wasn’t truly hungry. The lunch chatter buzzed around me, distant and muffled. I glanced across the cafeteria, but he still wasn’t here. Not that it mattered. I was still lost in thoughts of yesterday.This was the first time Andy had ever said something like that to me.“Callie, can you not do these things for me?”He didn’t say it casually. Not in his usual cold manner; somehow, that made it worse. Andy wasn’t the type to raise his voice or snap. He kept everything locked in that complicated, unreadable heart of his. But yesterday, for the first time, he drew a clear line between us.He didn’t want me getting close.“Hey.”I looked up. Bella and Sammy had sat down across from me. Sammy had her arms folded on the table, her eyes watching me closely.“What’s up with our sunshine?” she asked, her voice light but edged with concern.I smiled weakly. “I’m just tired.”“Liar,” Sammy said softly, her brows furrowing. “You only get like this when i

    ANDYI still couldn’t get her out of my head.Callie.No matter how many times I redirected my focus to my main objective of finishing school early and securing the internship I wanted, her face kept surfacing behind my eyes. That stubborn grin. Her unfiltered voice. The way her hand had lingered on mine longer than it should’ve when we danced.The worst part was that she was acting completely normal. In fact, she seemed even more persistent now. I was already frayed around the edges, and that was before she showed up with a box of sweets.It was lunchtime, and I found myself alone in the music room, slumped in the back corner with my script folded like origami in front of me. My lunch sat untouched. I wasn’t hungry; I’d been running scenes all morning between classes, and my voice was going hoarse.Then the door creaked open, and Callie walked in.She didn’t speak at first. Instead, she just plopped something in front of me—a little container holding a pretty-looking dessert. I remem

    CALLIEThe world slowed down.Somehow, with one turn and a shuffle, I found myself in Andy’s arms.And I forgot how to breathe.His hands were steady, warm, and careful. He didn’t say anything, and for once, I found myself speechless too, unable to conjure the right words. I’d always looked at Andy from a distance, but this was the first time I was seeing him this close.Well, this was our first time dancing. I was hyperaware of every detail involving him because of our small distance. I wondered about his skincare routine, as he appeared to have no pores from where I stood.He also smelled incredible—like mint combined with something woodsy.“You’re a pretty good dancer,” I said, making an effort not to sound too breathless. “You’ve done this before?”“A few times.”“Of course. You’re just good at everything, huh?”A small smirk played on his lips. “Definitely not everything.”I couldn’t help but grin. “That sounded both humble and smug at the same time. How’d you manage that?”He sh

  • His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret   Chapter 15: ANDY

    ANDYI tugged at the collar of my suit jacket, which had started to itch even before I stepped inside the venue. It wasn’t anything fancy—just the navy blue one my dad had packed for me at the start of the semester. “You’re gonna need this, son,” he’d said. “There will be events. Make sure you also go to those events. I regret not going when I was younger. Turns out he was right. I hadn’t planned on attending, but then came her—my beloved (not-so) sister, Isla. She insisted it was time for me to “expand my horizons” and “put myself out there.” She promised she’d quit pestering me if I came to the Welcome Ball just this once. I agreed, mainly because peace and quiet for the next few months sounded absolutely fantastic. One night. I could endure one night. I scanned the ballroom, noting the fairy lights that hung from the ceiling, the music that played gently from hidden speakers, and the way people were already pairing off for pictures in front of the velvet backdrop near the entr

    CALLIE “So, you actually agreed in the end?” Sammy asked, her voice laced with surprise as she handed me a dazzling pair of silver heels, which she confidently claimed were ‘goddess-tier comfortable.’ “I was going to introduce you to him myself.”“We’re in the same play,” I replied, holding the shoes up with mild disbelief. “And honestly, I didn’t plan on agreeing at all. It just… happened.”Sammy raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “On a whim?”“Yeah,” I muttered, sinking into the armchair in front of her vanity mirror. “Because Athena was already talking about coordinating colors with Andy, and I—” I let out a resigned sigh. “I didn’t want to stand there like some silent extra.”Sammy’s bedroom was a realm of its own, larger than both my room and my neighbor’s combined. Her closet resembled a boutique, brimming with options, and apparently, this was just a fraction of her main wardrobe.Bella sat cross-legged on the bed, munching on chips. “So, you’re going with Thomas now. I’m shocked,
