The morning light felt different today. Usually, I woke up with a heavy heart, dreading the moment I had to leave my room and face the cold glares of Diana and Tessa. But this morning, the first thing I felt was the cool, smooth metal of the gold bracelet on my wrist.

I held my arm up, watching the tiny diamond catch the sunlight. It was a secret. A beautiful, forbidden secret. Harrison had given it to me. He had looked into my eyes and told me I wasn't alone. For the first time in my life, I f

    Tessa finally stood up from the sofa.“I should go now,” she said quietly.Gabriel smiled softly.“Alright. Text me when you get home.”She nodded.“And don’t talk to her again,” she warned.“I won’t,” he replied without thinking.She looked at him one more time, searching his face for any sign of dishonesty.He looked calm.Gentle.Almost innocent.She leaned forward and kissed his cheek.Then she walked out of the house.Gabriel followed her to the door and waved as she entered the car.The car drove away.He stood there for a few seconds.His smile slowly disappeared.His face became cold.Very cold.He closed the door and walked back into the living room.He did not look sad.He did not look worried.Instead, he looked annoyed.“Drama,” he muttered under his breath.He loosened the collar of his shirt and dropped himself on the sofa.Then he took out his phone.He scrolled through his contacts.He stopped at one name.“Vanessa.”A slow smile appeared on his lips.He pressed call.

    Tessa did not sleep well that night.She kept turning on her bed, thinking about Emily’s words.“He said he still loves me.”The sentence kept repeating in her mind.Her chest felt tight.Early the next morning, she got dressed quickly. She did not tell her mother where she was going. She did not want advice. She did not want calm words.She wanted answers.Her driver dropped her in front of Gabriel’s house.She did not wait.She opened the gate and walked inside like a storm.Gabriel was in the living room, sitting on the sofa and pressing his phone. He looked relaxed. He was even smiling.When he saw Tessa, he stood up quickly.“Baby! You came early. I was just about to call you.”Before he could say another word—Slap.The sound was loud.His head turned to the side.He touched his cheek in shock.“Tessa! What was that for?”She was breathing hard.“Why did you kiss Emily?” she shouted.Gabriel’s eyes widened.“What? What are you saying?”“Don’t pretend!” she screamed. “Why did you

    The afternoon was quiet inside the mansion.Emily was in her room, folding the clothes she had washed earlier. Her face looked calm, but her heart was still thinking about what happened at the market. She kept remembering Gabriel’s words.“I still love you.”She felt tired just thinking about it.She had said what she needed to say. She had walked away. That should be the end.But she did not know that something else was already moving.Tessa was downstairs in the living room when her phone buzzed. She picked it up lazily, not expecting anything serious.It was a message from one of her friends.“Hey, I just saw something strange at the market today.”Tessa frowned.“What?” she typed back.“Isn’t Gabriel your boyfriend?”Her heart skipped.“Yes. Why?”“I saw him with that girl from your house. Emily. They were very close. It looked like she was trying to kiss him.”Tessa froze.Her fingers went cold.“What are you saying?” she typed quickly.“I’m serious. They were standing close. Peo

    The next morning was bright and clear.Emily woke up early. Her eyes still felt heavy from the night before, but her heart was calmer. She remembered Harrison’s words.You deserve someone who sees you.She held onto that sentence like something precious.After washing her face and dressing simply, she went downstairs. The house was quiet. Harrison had already left for work. Tessa was still in her room.Emily decided to go to the market. The kitchen needed fresh vegetables, and she wanted some air. She needed to clear her thoughts.She picked up her small bag and left the mansion quietly.The market was busy and noisy. People were shouting prices. Children were running around. The smell of fruits and spices filled the air.Emily liked the market. It felt alive. It helped her forget heavy thoughts.She walked slowly between the stalls, looking at tomatoes, peppers, and fresh bread. She greeted some sellers politely.“Good morning.”“Good morning, dear.”She forced small smiles.After bu

    The house was very quiet that evening.The sky outside was turning orange and pink. The sun was going down slowly. The big Grey mansion felt calm, but inside Emily’s heart, there was still a storm.She sat on the edge of her bed. Her notebook was open beside her, but she was not writing anymore. Her eyes were red. She had washed her face, but the sadness had not fully left her chest.She did not want anyone to see her like this.She heard a soft knock on her door.Her heart jumped.She quickly stood up and wiped her face again.“Yes?” she said softly.The door opened slowly.It was Harrison.He stood at the door, tall and calm as always. His face looked serious, but his eyes were gentle.“May I come in?” he asked quietly.Emily lowered her head a little.“Yes, sir.”He stepped inside and closed the door gently behind him. He did not walk too close. He gave her space.He looked at her carefully.“You did not come down for dinner,” he said in a calm voice. “Are you feeling sick again?”

    The afternoon sun filtered through the curtains, casting soft golden lines across Tessa’s room. Emily stayed in the hallway, pretending to be busy with a small stack of papers she had brought from the study. She hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, but the laughter from inside Tessa’s room caught her off guard.Gabriel’s voice rang clearly. “You’re so dramatic, Tessa! You always make everything funnier than it is!”Tessa laughed, tossing her hair back with an easy smile. “I know! But you love it, admit it!”Emily’s chest tightened. The sound of Gabriel’s laughter was familiar, comforting once—but now it cut like glass. She remembered sitting in the same hallway years ago, listening to him laugh with her, whispering, “I love you so much, Emily. You’re the only one I want.”The memories hit her like waves. She had trusted him. She had believed him. And now, hearing his laughter in Tessa’s room, she felt that same ache of betrayal rise inside her chest.She tried to steady herself. She told hersel

    The evening sun had just begun to disappear behind the city skyline, casting long shadows across the Grey mansion. Emily was sitting in the living room, trying to calm her restless mind. Her hands twisted in her lap, and she felt a strange mixture of emotions she couldn’t yet name. Something inside

    It was a quiet afternoon at the Grey mansion, but Harrison’s mind was far from calm. He had just finished reviewing some reports when his phone buzzed. A text from a powerful businessman, Mr. Langford, appeared on the screen. Harrison opened it and read silently. “Dinner and business meetin

    Tessa’s heels clicked sharply against the marble floor of Gabriel’s apartment building. She was wearing a tight red dress that showed off her figure, her long hair falling in waves over her shoulders. She looked confident, like a queen entering her territory. But inside, her heart was racing. She
