After her dinner date with Cooper, Eva stormed into her apartment, her face flushed with a mix of anger and unease. Her thoughts swirled as she paced the small living room, her heels clicking against the wooden floor. "What does Cooper even want?" she muttered under her breath, her brows knitting together. She clenched her fists, frustration bubbling up inside her. Yet, beneath the irritation, there was something else—an undeniable pull toward him.

Eva flopped onto the couch, her head falling back against the cushions. "I need Cooper," she whispered, her voice trembling with determination. "He's handsome, rich, tall... those gorgeous eyes and those lips..." She trailed off, biting her lip as a faint smile crept onto her face. The thought of Kira suddenly intruded, making her expression darken.

"I don't want Kira to ruin my moment with the love of my life," she spat, her voice sharp and bitter. When Cooper dropped her off earlier, she'd lied about wher

    Cooper hadn’t slept a wink that night.He tossed and turned in bed, haunted by the image of Kira walking away from him, her face stained with tears, her voice distant yet sharp like broken glass. No matter how tightly he shut his eyes, all he saw was her—her soft gaze, her angry scowl, her trembling lips when she told him goodbye. It was like trying to sleep while bleeding.By morning, he couldn’t take it anymore.Still dressed in yesterday’s clothes, he dragged himself out of bed, threw on his jacket, and drove across the quiet city streets. The sun hadn’t even risen yet, but he didn’t care. His destination was clear: Kira’s shop. He needed to see her. Needed to do something. Fix something. Anything.When he arrived, the street was still wrapped in silence, the air chilly and damp with morning dew. Her bakery stood there like a sleeping memory. The windows were dark, the sign still flipped to “Closed.” But Cooper had a key.She had given him one months ago when things were different—

    If his father were still alive, none of this would’ve happened. The chaos, the blood, the constant torment—it all began the day his father left this world. Eight years had passed since that day, and yet the pain remained, as raw and vicious as the moment they buried him. Ever since then, Derek had changed. He wasn’t the same boy who once laughed at silly jokes and brought flowers home for his mother. He had turned into a monster—cold, ruthless, emotionless.Now, he was known not as a man, but as a legend painted in crimson. A killer. A traitor. A predator. Someone who didn't just walk into darkness, but made it his throne. Innocents or not, he had taken lives—too many to count. Some deserved it. Most didn't. And it haunted him, every face he couldn’t forget, every pair of eyes that stared at him in death, asking why.But even monsters can crave salvation.He found it in Kira.She was light in his chaos. Warmth in his freezing world. A baker with flour in her hair and laughter in her v

    Cooper couldn’t believe what they were telling him. His chest heaved, eyes wide with disbelief, his heart shattering into a million jagged pieces. The room spun as the weight of the moment crashed down on him. He blinked hard, as though trying to wake up from a cruel nightmare.Yeah, I call him Cooper. Even though his real name was Derek, everyone called him Cooper, and that had to continue. That name carried his past, his reputation, and the weight of every decision he’d made.And now, everything was falling apart.His jaw clenched as his eyes darted to the woman standing at the edge of the marble-floored foyer, her back turned to him, shoulders trembling. Kira. The love of his life. She looked so fragile in that moment, like a flower caught in a storm.“Kira, please,” he rasped, voice low and desperate. His hands reached out, but he stopped midway, unsure if he even had the right to touch her anymore.“I trusted you, Cooper!” she cried, spinning around. Her face was soaked in tears,

    He never meant for this to happen.Derek stood frozen in the mirror for nearly an hour before the dinner, trying to rehearse what he’d say. His reflection didn’t offer any help. It just stared back at him—haunted eyes, clenched jaw, and a guilt that seemed stitched into his very skin.He never thought it would reach this point. Not with her.He had been with half the women in the city during his reckless years, but none of them ever mattered. None of them ever stayed. Until her. Kira.Sweet, genuine Kira. The kind of girl who smiled at children and helped the elderly cross the street. The kind of girl who didn’t belong in his dark world. The one girl who made him want to be good.Derek’s throat tightened as he sat at the table waiting. The restaurant was dimly lit, candle flames casting a soft glow on the white linens. A gentle violin melody hummed in the background. He thought it would soften the blow, make his confession easier. But the moment he saw her walking in—graceful, radiant

    Kira stood frozen in the middle of her room, her fingers still clutching the edge of her vanity table. Her chest heaved as disbelief washed over her, wave after wave, threatening to drown her in it."He lied to me," she whispered to herself, her voice cracking. Her reflection in the mirror looked back at her—wild eyes, puffy from crying, lips trembling.She had trusted Derek Lewis with everything. Her heart. Her dreams. Her secrets. And now it felt like all of it was for nothing. A cruel joke. A flat-out betrayal.They’d been through so much—late-night phone calls when she cried over her mother’s illness, the way he stood by her when her bakery nearly shut down, how he once drove through a storm just to bring her her favorite red velvet cupcakes. All of it felt like a lie now. Worthless.Eva had only just walked out, her face pale after revealing the truth. That was the moment Kira’s world truly crumbled. It wasn’t the lie itself—it was the realization that she had loved someone who c

    Kira stood motionless behind the counter, her heart pounding like a war drum in her chest. The clink of cutlery, the murmurs of diners, and even the delicious scent of sautéed garlic and butter from the kitchen seemed to fade into the background. Her world narrowed to the person standing in front of her — Eva.Eva, the so-called friend who had ghosted her for years.Eva, who reappeared like a storm cloud, without warning, sweeping into Kira's restaurant as if she owned the place.And worst of all… Eva, who was now dating Cooper — the very man Kira had given her heart to.Kira’s arms crossed tightly over her chest, her lips set in a thin, unimpressed line. “What are you doing here, Eva?” she asked coolly, trying to keep her voice steady even as it quivered with restrained emotion.Eva gave a dry, tight-lipped smile, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “Can’t a girl drop by and say hello?”“Not when that girl hasn’t spoken to me in years,” Kira snapped. “Not when she shows up dati
