เข้าสู่ระบบChapter 105: ♥ Demonic ChoiceNoah’s I looked into Enzo’s eyes, and in that moment, every emotion I had been holding back for the past week crashed into me all at once. Fear, relief, anger, and a deep, painful longing mixed together inside my chest. I could not stop myself. Before I could even think about what I was doing, I rushed forward and hugged him as tight as I possibly could.I will not lie. I was absolutely terrified. My hands were shaking violently as I pressed my face into the center of his chest. I could feel the heat coming off his body, and it felt like home. Even though I had run away from him, I missed him more than I wanted to admit to anyone. Being near him again made my chest ache with a bittersweet feeling.Enzo wrapped his arms around me right away. He held me close to him, gripping me like he was afraid I would disappear or turn into smoke if he let go. His grip was strong, steady, and certain.“You don’t need to worry, Noah,” he said. His voice was low and warm
Chapter 104: ♥ Face of the PastNoah’s For a long second, it felt like the whole world stopped breathing.Everything around me went completely quiet, as if sound itself had been taken away from the room. My chest tightened so hard that it hurt to move, and my heart felt like it was about to break apart inside of me. I pushed myself up from the bed. My legs felt weak and shaky. My breathing was fast and uneven.This was Desmond.The name and the man were finally together in front of me. Why was he here? Why now?My mind spun in a circle of panic. I wondered if he had come here to kill me. But I had already left Enzo. I had walked away from that life and that mansion. I did exactly what everyone said I should do. I removed myself from the situation. So why was he standing in front of me like this, looking at me with those cold, calculating eyes?He took a slow step forward. He looked very calm and relaxed. He wore that same confident smile that made my skin crawl. It was the kind of sm
Chapter 103: ♥ The Contract MateNoah’s I opened my eyes slowly. My head felt extremely heavy, and my whole body was weak, as if all my strength had been drained away while I slept. For a few moments, I did not know where I was. The room felt unfamiliar and far too quiet. A sharp, sudden fear crawled up my spine. My chest tightened, and I felt so nervous that I thought I might lose control of my own body.I realized someone was standing in front of me.I sucked in a sharp breath. My heart started slamming hard against my ribs. The man standing there was tall and dressed very neatly. His posture was calm and confident. I would not lie to myself—he was very handsome. He was the kind of handsome that made people turn their heads in the street to look again. But despite his good looks, nothing about him felt safe. He felt dangerous.He took a slow, measured step toward me.I moved back without even thinking. My hands pressed into the mattress behind me. Panic rushed through my veins like
Chapter 102: ♥ The Impossible TruthNoah’s I stared at the doctor for what felt like forever. My mind was refusing to accept the word that had just come out of his mouth. My ears started to ring with a high-pitched sound, and my chest felt so tight I could barely draw a breath. I felt my hands start to shake against the white sheets of the hospital bed.“P-pregnant?” I stammered. My voice was weak and unsteady. The word felt wrong in my mouth, like it was a foreign language I did not know how to speak. It did not belong to me.The doctor nodded his head slowly. He kept his expression very serious. “Yes, sir,” he said. “That is exactly what the laboratory results show.”My heart slammed against my ribs like it was trying to break free. I reached out and grabbed the medical report right out of his hands. My fingers were trembling so much the paper rattled. I scanned the lines of text, but the words blurred together. There were numbers and medical terms that I could not understand. I lo
Chapter 101: ♥ Unexpected NewsNoah’s One week later.One week had passed since that night in the rain. Seven days of silence. Seven days of trying to forget the look on Enzo’s face and the lies he had kept hidden for so long.I sat on James’s couch in his small apartment. My body was curled in on itself, my knees pulled tightly against my chest. I had a thick blanket wrapped around my shoulders and pulled up to my chin. The room was not cold, but I could not stop shivering. For a whole week, I had not gone back to the house we shared. I had not gone to school either. I had no energy to face the world.I stayed here, on this couch, for hours at a time. I only moved when my body forced me to. I felt wrong in a way that I could not explain to James or even to myself. It was not just the sadness of the breakup. It was not just being tired from the stress. It felt like something deeper was happening inside of me.Every single morning started the exact same way. I would wake up and immedi
Chapter 100: ♥ The Unwanted ReturnEnzo’s I stood there in the cold rain and watched Noah walk away from me. Each of his steps felt like a strike to my heart. He walked fast, and I could tell he was very angry. He was filled with a deep pain that I had caused. He did not turn back even once to look at me. That hurt me more than any physical blow ever could.My chest felt very tight. It felt like a heavy stone was pressing down on my lungs, making it hard for me to breathe. I slowly pushed myself up from the wet ground. My body felt stiff and cold from the rain. My mind was filled with a loud, ringing noise that I could not stop.A car stopped near me. The tires made a loud sound on the pavement because it stopped so fast. The door opened and Ren stepped out into the rain. He looked at me with a serious face. His eyes scanned my body from head to toe before he spoke. He seemed to be checking for any injuries."Are you okay, Enzo?" he asked. His voice was low, but I could hear that he
