She blinked her eyes rapidly, closed them and opened them again, hoping that she was just seeing things as she stared at the picture.

But nothing changed, it was still Seth.

Kate told herself that it can't be possible, Seth can't be in her dance practice room.

What could he possibly be doing there?

She went back to the message Grace sent her and read it again.

"I think he's our new technician or something," the text read.

Her hands went to her brows as she massaged it lightly.

Technician? The last time she checked Seth wasn't anything special like that, he didn't really look like someone who was into that kind of job.

But then again, she never really bothered to know anything about him, never asked, just like he never asked also, but he knows that she was a student studying business and finance.

Could it be that he went to the practice room on purpose? Because he thought he would find her there?

She shook her head. It wasn't possible, she might have shown signs but she never really t

    The sound of her phone ringing distracted her from working on the assignment that she has been staring blanky at for the past five minutes and Kate stood up , grateful for the distraction.She had kept her phone far away from her as a way to stop herself from getting distracted but forgot to switch it off, something that she felt relieved about.It wasn't that the assignment was hard, it was just that her thoughts were just too flooded with so many things, grace And Liam, Seth, and the worst of them all, her mother. It was just too much for her to even add the pressure of getting down with her assignment in order to get a perfect score.Ever since the call with her Mom ended, she had been trying not to think about what she said, how her mother said that she was disappointed in her.Didn't she think that Kate was a human too? With feelings? Her saying things like that only end up hurting Kate's feelings and make it harder for her to cope with the things she usually would.Kate sighed

    The taxi stopped her at the entrance of the practice studio and Kate walked out feeling some eyes on her.She had been feeling this way, like someone was watching her since she took a step outside her house and the weirdest thing about it was the fact that she felt the person's presence and it felt like Seth.It was probably just her being paranoid or Maybe she was just thinking about him way too much these days to even have a feeling like he was watching her.Ignoring the paranoid feelings, she walked into the practice room and quickly changed into her clothes before practicing.Unlike other days where the room is usually smelling of feminine sweat and perfume, filled with pink ballet skirt and nude flat shoes, today was different.She was the only person inside, well, aside from one more person who was taking a nap, but it was technically only her and she loved it.Kate had always hated practicing ballet in front of the others, not that she felt she couldn't do well but because she

    Liam stood at the balcony of his apartment, staring outside his window and smiled softly as he watched some teenagers kiss each other.The memory reminded him of when he was with Kate, when they were still young, with Kate following him around like a puppy and he would ignore everything that she does.Weirdly enough these days, he finds himself thinking about her more and more. He never thought of her to be attractive but he was starting to see her as a woman, regardless of whatever he was feeling.The noise of the plate was clattering and people shouting down in the apartment below hurt his head and he frowned.He has to leave this place, the apartment was something that wasn't in his own way of lifestyle that he planned but that was not what he planned to.Turning around in the room, he frowned at the way the room was and shook his head. He had to think about what he needed to do in order to get back with Kate just so that he would be able to get all the benefits that he can get fr

    Grace glared at him angrily as he stared at the phone, wiping away nervous sweat. He was just about to pick up the call when she grabbed him by the hand."What do you think you're doing?" She asked angrily.He glanced at her with a frown and turned his face away."What does it look like I'm doing?""You can't be serious right now. Why? Why stop halfway because of a call? Who is it? How important is the person th..." She stopped as she took a look at the caller ID and realized who it is and scoffed."It's Kate??? Then leave it, why stop midway because she's calling you?" She asked angrily.Liam ignored her and was about to pick up the call when she grabbed the phone and eyed him."No, I won't let you do this. You have to finish first before you do anything related to her."He ignored her and grabbed the phone, immediately standing up to give a distance between them."Hello Kate?" He said, his voice softening automatically and the frown leaving his face.Grace watched his , seething and

    Kate sighed and adjusted her seat, staring blankly at the screen in front of her and the blurry figure pointing at it.She didn't mean to be distracted, heck, she has even tried several times to pay attention to what they were saying but she couldn't, at least not after the party.It's been two days, two freaking days yet she can't get it out of her mind. Not that the party was something fun or whatever but because she felt that there was something she was missing.All through the party, Liam acted like a responsible guy, stayed with her throughout, danced with her until they were under the spotlight and then took care of her, making sure that she wasn't served any alcoholic drink.It was almost like he was trying so hard to make the two of them appear in the school's blog and he was trying to make people assume that they were a couple but that didn't bother her.Actually that was not what bothered her at all, she had always known that Liam was an attention seeker and would do anythin

    Surprised, Kate looked around, wondering why the entire class was staring at her. Her lecturer cleared his throat loudly and she turned to see that he was also staring at her."He's asking you a question," Grace whispered to her nudging her shoulder.Kate looked back to the man, blinking rapidly and feeling the flush come up her face It was so embarrassing, she had always hated being asked questions or having the entire class attention and today was so bad."Hu...uhmm, I uh..." She stammered."You were not listening right? Not only did you come late to my class but you also choose to live in your head while I teach, right? What do you think you are? A princess?" He scolded her, his voice sounding harsh and blunt.The voice pierced Kate's heart and she suddenly felt like crying as she stared around the class, hearing the sound of laughter from the rest."Oh no sir, she isn't a princess. She has not slept for some nights that's why," Grace said immediately, laughing.The class laughed

    Kate rolled her eyes at her mother's question. She knew that she shouldn't have bothered telling her mother anything like that because the knife would definitely be twisted to face her, typical of her mother."Mom.." She groaned, annoyed at herself."Did you drink at this party? Who were you with? I hope you didn't make a disgrace out of yourself. Why would you attend a party instead of focusing on your studies and practicing your ballet? I'm pretty sure you've gotten weaker on your steps."Each statement was like a sharp knife stabbing Kate with every single breath that her mother takes.It was almost as if her statement about Lucas was irrelevant to her And she kept on being focused on the fact that Kate went to a party, that her naive daughter rebelled against her."I am not weaker on my steps, mom," She replied curtly, "Mom, I am not talking about the party! And besides I went with Liam to the party."Her voice was sharp and irritated but she didn't raise her voice, even as much a

    "Kate? Are you there?" He asked again and she quickly wiped off her tears, sniffling loudly.After Kate was sure that she didn't look like she had been crying her eyes out, She opened the door and with a straight face was about to walk past him."Kate.." he called softly, holding on to her hands and stopping her.Unable to take it anymore, Kate turned her face away, embarrassed that Seth had to find her in a state like this."It's okay.." He whispered and pulled her into a hug, his hands holding her around her waist while she held him tightly.For some reason, she felt safe in his arms, she felt comforted, it was almost as if all her problems would get cancelled out once she was with him.. that kind of feeling.After sobbing for some time into his shirt, she sniffed loudly and pulled away from the hug, grateful that he comforted her without a word."Thank you," She managed to utter and walked away without looking back or even waiting for a response from him.As soon as she left Seth,

    FinaleOne year had passed since that pivotal afternoon in Kate’s apartment, when she had sat on the couch, wrestling with the weight of her future. Now, as she walked across the bustling college campus, her steps were lighter, her heart fuller. The past year had been a whirlwind of change, growth, and unexpected joys. She had given birth to a beautiful baby girl, Emma, who had become the center of her world. Balancing motherhood, school, and her relationship with Seth had been challenging, but Kate had found a rhythm that worked for her. She was proud of how far she had come.The crisp autumn air carried the scent of fallen leaves, and Kate tightened her scarf around her neck as she made her way to the parking lot. Her classes for the day were over, and she was eager to get home to Emma. But first, she had a familiar face to meet. Seth had texted her earlier, letting her know he would be picking her up after class. It had become a routine of sorts—him driving her home, their conversa

    Chapter 49The afternoon sun streamed through the windows of Kate’s apartment, casting a warm glow over the living room. She sat on the couch, her phone pressed to her ear, listening to her mother’s excited chatter about wedding plans. Her mother’s voice was animated, filled with the kind of enthusiasm that only a parent could muster when discussing their child’s future. But Kate’s mind was elsewhere, her thoughts swirling with uncertainty and a growing sense of unease.“Mom, I’m not ready to get married,” Kate finally interjected, her voice firm but gentle. She twisted a strand of hair around her finger, a nervous habit she had carried since childhood. “I still have so much to figure out. College, my career, this baby… I just don’t think now is the right time.”There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Kate could almost picture her mother’s face—her brows furrowed, her lips pressed into a thin line of disappointment. But when her mother spoke again, her tone was softer, mor

    Chapter 48Kate lay in bed, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains of Seth’s bedroom. The sheets were warm, the room quiet except for the steady rhythm of Seth’s breathing beside her. She turned her head slightly, watching him as he slept, his face relaxed and peaceful. The events of the previous day replayed in her mind like a vivid dream, each moment etched with emotion and significance. Her thoughts drifted to the meeting with Seth’s father, Edward. It had been a whirlwind of introductions, apologies, and unexpected warmth. Edward had greeted her with a kindness that immediately put her at ease, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. “I’ve been trying to get Seth to bring you home for months,” Edward had said, his voice tinged with amusement. “But he’s been like a goofy kid, always talking about you but never actually introducing you. I was starting to think you were a figment of his imagination.” Kate had laughed at that, the sound light and genuine.

    Chapter 47Kate sat in the waiting room of the clinic, her fingers nervously tapping against the armrest of the chair. The test was just a formality, she already knew. The subtle changes in her body, the fatigue, the nausea, it all pointed to one thing. But she needed to see it for herself, to have that confirmation in her hands. When the nurse finally called her name, Kate followed her into the examination room, her heart pounding. The doctor was kind, her smile reassuring as she handed Kate the results. “Congratulations,” the doctor said warmly. “You’re pregnant.” Kate stared at the paper, her vision blurring with tears. It was real. She was going to be a mother. Later, as she sat in her car, Kate took a deep breath and dialed her mother’s number. The phone rang twice before her mom picked it up. “Kate?” her mother’s voice was hesitant, almost apologetic. “Mom,” Kate began, her voice trembling. “I… I need to talk to you.” There was a pause, and then her mother said sof

    Chapter 46The theater was alive with energy, the air thick with anticipation as the finalists took their places backstage. Kate stood in the wings, her heart pounding in her chest. The stage lights glowed brightly, casting long shadows across the polished floor. She could hear the murmurs of the audience, the rustle of programs, and the occasional burst of applause. This was it. The moment she had worked for, sacrificed for, and dreamed of. Her fingers trembled as she adjusted the straps of her costume, the delicate fabric shimmering under the dim backstage lights. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, and let the music of her routine play in her mind. This wasn’t just about winning anymore. This was about proving to herself that she could rise above the expectations, the pressure, and the noise. “You’ve got this,” a voice whispered beside her. Kate turned to see one of the stagehands, a young woman with a kind smile, giving her an encouraging nod. Kate nodded back, her

    Seth had taken her to a quiet, upscale restaurant on the outskirts of the city. The ambiance was warm, the lighting dim but cozy, with a soft hum of classical music playing in the background. Their table was near a window, giving them a view of the city lights shimmering in the distance. Kate played with her napkin, trying to suppress the nervous energy bubbling inside her. Public dates weren’t their thing. At least, not until now. Seth, ever composed, reached for his glass of wine, taking a slow sip before meeting her gaze. “You’re quiet,” he noted. Kate glanced at him, picking at her food. “I was just wondering…” She hesitated before finally asking, “Why now? Why are we suddenly out in the open like this?” Seth leaned back in his chair, exhaling. “Because I don’t want to hide anymore.” Kate raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t mind hiding before.” “I did.” His voice was soft but firm. “I just didn’t realize how much until recently.” Kate set down her fork, tilting her head s

    Chapter 44 The studio was nearly empty, the faint sound of classical music playing from the speakers as Kate stretched her legs, trying to ease the tension in her muscles. Across from her, another dancer, Mira, a girl she had only spoken to a handful of times, was tying her hair into a bun, watching Kate through the mirror. “You know, I heard some talk,” Mira said casually, adjusting her tights and acting like she wasn't interested.Kate arched a brow. “What kind of talk?” Mira shrugged, stretching her arms above her head. “That your drama is getting too much. They might replace you.” Kate froze for a moment before forcing herself to continue stretching. “Oh? Who’s ‘they’?” Mira smirked. “The instructors. The higher-ups. Whatever.” She paused, then added, “Are you sure Grace isn’t the one spreading it? She’s been bitter ever since you got chosen without even trying.” Kate inhaled sharply. It made sense. Grace had always been competitive, and losing to someone she saw as un

    Chapter 43Midnight crept in, but Kate was nowhere near sleep. The glow of her phone screen was the only light in the dark room, illuminating the anxious lines on her face. She had been restless for hours, unable to shake the nagging feeling that something was off. Finally, she gave in to the impulse and opened her social media. Her phone kept buzzing, notifications piling up from the post. She rolled over, scrolling mindlessly, until her blood turned cold. She had gone viral. Not in a good way. People weren’t just talking about the competition anymore. They were talking about Seth. About her. The moment the screen loaded, her stomach twisted and She suddenly realized that what she wanted, her popularity had turned into something else.Her post about the Grand Opera selection had exploded overnight, but it wasn’t just about the competition anymore. It was Seth. Someone had taken his picture and started a storm of speculation. Strangers were analyzing every detail, trying

    Chapter 42Kate sat at her desk, her textbooks open but unread, the screen of her laptop glowing with an unfinished essay. A half-empty cup of coffee sat beside her, long gone cold. She was supposed to be preparing for her exams, finishing assignments, and staying on track for college. But her mind refused to cooperate. She chewed on the end of her pencil, staring at the blank document in front of her. College felt distant now, overshadowed by a heavier, more immediate worry. Her missing period.What if she was pregnant? What if people find out what happened to her and Seth?The thought made her stomach twist. She hadn't taken a test yet—hadn’t dared to. The possibility alone was enough to send her spiraling. And what would Seth do if it turned out to be true? Her phone vibrated beside her. Mom boldly written on the caller ID.Kate's jaw clenched. She ignored it. She didn't have the energy to hear her mother's nagging or worse still, hear another sob story about her engageme
