THIRD PERSON POV

Kyla had just finished her bath, her skin still dewy as she slipped into her silk evening robe. The fabric clung to her gently as she padded across the living room barefoot. She had barely settled when the doorbell rang.

She paused.

Only one person rang that way.

With a slow breath, she approached the door and opened it.

Connor stood there, tall, tense, and tired in his expression. His eyes scanned her quickly, pausing on the soft robe, the dampness in her hair. His jaw clenched slightly, but his tone stayed even.

“Can I come in?”

Kyla didn’t answer right away. Her hand rested on the doorframe, hesitant. But then she stepped aside, letting him in without a word.

The silence stretched between them as Connor entered, his presence filling the space like a gentle storm waiting to break. He turned to face her.

“Where on earth have you been?” he asked, frustration seeping through his words. “You’ve been ignoring all my texts, my calls… I came here. I went to the office. Yo

  • Love is War: But I'd bleed for you   Chapter 72: Black Rose

    THIRD PERSON POV Kyla stood in the middle of her studio, flipping through rows of her own bridal designs. Sketch after sketch, fabric swatches pinned beside each one, delicate notes scribbled in her clean handwriting. She had always imagined the day she would choose one for herself. After years of designing gowns for clients across continents, elegant, romantic, unforgettable pieces, she knew hers would be different. Personal, more meaningful and iconic.But as she stared at the curated collection, her fingers slowed.This wasn’t the wedding she had envisioned.With a muted sigh, she closed the last file. No. She wouldn’t wear one of her own dresses to a wedding like this.Grabbing her handbag, she turned to her assistant. “I’ll be out for a bit. Just need to get something.”She didn’t say what. Saying “a wedding dress” would spark questions she wasn’t ready to answer. Questions like why Kyla Johnson, the renowned bridal designer, wasn’t making her own.As she approached the studio’

  • Love is War: But I'd bleed for you   Chapter 71: Are We In Debt?

    THIRD PERSON POV Jeffrey stood in front of Kyla’s apartment door. The lock clicked softly, and the door creaked open a second after he rang. Kyla stood there in a black tube top and tailored suit pants, clearly in the middle of getting dressed for the day. Her hair was pinned back loosely, eyes sharp as they scanned his expectant face. Jeffrey didn’t say a word. He stepped inside, brushing past her gently, and walked straight to the couch. He sat, leaned back, and stared quietly at her back as she shut the door behind her. “You can keep getting ready,” he said, voice low. “I wouldn’t want to interrupt.” Kyla glanced at him over her shoulder, her mouth twitching slightly like she almost smiled. “Don’t worry about it,” she said calmly. “What’s wrong?” Jeffrey looked at her for a moment, then finally spoke. “A few days ago, I got a call. They said you were taken.” His tone was blunt. “What was that about? Where were you?” Kyla paused, her hand resting on the back of a chair. For a

  • Love is War: But I'd bleed for you   Chapter 70: Nothing Too Deep

    THIRD PERSON POV Silver stood on the walkway of the large garden with Collins, dressed in a soft, elegant white gown that brushed the tiles with each step. Her eyes were fixed ahead, but she wasn't seeing anything, even though the view was peaceful with the branches of trees swaying lightly in the breeze, birds chirping above, and the faint scent of jasmine clinging to the air.Collins approached quietly. “Hello, Silver. You look stressed.”She didn’t look at him. “No, I don’t.” She replied gently He stepped beside her, his hands slipping into his pockets as they both watched two squirrels dart down a tree trunk, circle one another, then race back up into the branches.“Yes, you look beautiful as always Silver. But you always come here when you’re stressed,” he said, his voice becoming soft. “What’s wrong?”Silver took a deep breath, inhaling the cool air like it could ground her. Then her voice, quiet but sharp, cut through the silence. “You said they were dead. Their car was fou

  • Love is War: But I'd bleed for you   Chapter 68: I'm Sorry

    THIRD PERSON POV Jeffrey held up the document in his hand, his expression shifted from shock to something casual. “I needed answers,” he said calmly. “Answers for why you suddenly wanted nothing to do with me.”Ronald froze at the words, his jaw tightening. The weight of his mistake landed hard in his chest. He had lashed out, blamed Jeffrey, pushed him away without offering a single chance for explanation. He should have known better.He took a step forward, reaching for the paper, but Jeffrey pulled it back, keeping it just out of reach. Ronald’s brows drew together. “You shouldn’t be going through my things,” he said, voice low with irritation.Jeffrey tilted his head to the side, his eyes sharp despite the casual tone. “Oh, so now it’s your things and my things?” he asked. The question hung in the air like a knife. He sounded calm, even indifferent, but Ronald could hear it. The sting buried in every word. He was hurt.Jeffrey didn’t wait for any response. “You shut me out becau

  • Love is War: But I'd bleed for you   Chapter 67: Jeffrey Must Not Know

    THIRD PERSON POV Ronald sat stiffly in the backseat of the car, staring out the window but not really seeing anything. His father’s ridiculous announcement still echoed in his head. A second son, like it was just a casual transaction that occured. He scoffed under his breath and rubbed a hand across his jaw.His phone vibrated on the seat beside him. He glanced at the screen, and froze.Kyla.He stared at the name for a long second, with an unreadable expression. Her timing was always just exquisite. Wasn't she supposed to be missing?His thumb hovered for a bit, then he finally answered.“Kyla,” he said flatly.Her voice came through immediately. It was tight, breathless, slightly panicked. “Ronald, we need to see. I have to talk to you.”He narrowed his eyes. “Why? So you can drive the dagger deeper? Or twist it this time?”“No. No… it’s not like that,” she said quickly. “Please. I’ll explain everything when we meet. I need your help.”That caught him off guard. His help? What now
