Daniel's Pov.

The morning after the dinner at St. Lucie's was strangely quiet.

Except From the kitchen, I could hear Olivia humming softly as she made coffee. The sound was light, almost cheerful, like nothing was wrong. The rich smell floated through the house, warm and familiar, wrapping around me like a memory that didn’t quite comfort the way it used to. I stood there, half-listening, half-hoping I was just imagining the tightness in my chest.

But I wasn’t.

Elliot hadn’t said a single word to me since we got home. Not one.

He’d gotten out of the car without looking back, gone straight to his room, and shut the door. At dinner, he’d barely touched his food, only speaking when someone forced the conversation in his direction. Even then, it was like he was chewing on glass just to get the words out. Short. Clipped. Cold.

I had tried to meet his eyes more than once, hoping for a sign—any sign—that he was still reachable. That I hadn’t completely lost him. But he wouldn’t look at me.

  • Never Mine To Love   Betrayal.

    Daniel’s POV“…Daniel?”Just my name, I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t move.The pictures were still spread out across the counter like shattered glass. They were everywhere—like sharp pieces of a secret I’d been trying to keep buried. There was no hiding them now. No gentle way to explain.And the look on Olivia’s face—God.It wasn’t anger. Not yet.It was worse.It was confusion. Hurt. Like someone had broken a window inside her and she didn’t know if she should scream… or just sweep up the pieces and pretend it hadn’t shattered.She didn’t blink. Just stared.“Olivia,” I started, my voice dry and cracked halfway through. “I—”“You need to tell me what I’m looking at,” she said. Her voice was calm, but only on the outside. I could hear the shake underneath it. “Tell me. Now.”The room felt too small. Too warm. Too bright. The lights above us buzzed, and the walls felt like they were closing in.I stepped toward her, but she took a step back like I’d raised a hand.“Don’t,” she whispered

  • Never Mine To Love   No idea

    River’s POVThe backyard had been transformed.Colorful plastic cones marked a big rectangle on the grass. There was a cooler in the shade, half full of juice boxes and cold soda cans. Someone had brought out a speaker, and music played—happy, bouncy songs that made little kids dance and adults smile. It smelled like sunscreen and barbecue. Laughter floated through the air like sunlight—soft and warm.Kids were running around in circles, chasing each other, their voices rising with joy. Some adults lounged on folded lawn chairs. Others stretched out on picnic blankets. The grass was soft underfoot, a little dry from the heat, but not too bad. The sun was bright but kind, not the kind that burned—just the kind that kissed your skin and made you squint.Antonio was already halfway across the yard, darting toward a group gathering in the middle.“River’s on my team!” he shouted like he’d just won something huge. He pumped his fist high in the air like a champion.A few heads turned my wa

  • Never Mine To Love   Game day

    River’s POVI smiled through breakfast.Poured juice like nothing was wrong. Laughed when Claire teased her fiancé about his man-crush on Noah. Nodded when someone passed me the butter. Said “thanks” and “that’s great” and “wow, really?” like a normal person.Like my mind wasn’t a storm.Because inside, inside I was spinning.The smells of toast and scrambled eggs, the clinking of silverware, the hum of conversation—they were all too loud. Too bright. Everyone was so alive, so normal. And I was just… pretending.I hadn’t slept. Not really. Just laid there, staring at the ceiling, flipping my pillow over and over, hoping sleep would come. But all I could hear was that stupid ding in my head.That message.Elliot’s message.His voice, even though it wasn’t a voice message. It still rang in my ears like he’d spoken it right beside me. Like he was standing over my bed, arms folded, judging.He lied to you.It never stopped.Just that. Two lines. But they clawed into me like nails against

  • Never Mine To Love   End of it

    Noah's Pov Something changed with river's behaviour.Like when you walk into a room and someone just left, and the air still holds the shape of them. Like when a song skips, not enough to ruin it, but enough that you know something’s off.That’s what it was like.One second River was laughing, really laughing. His smile touched every part of his face. He had this small dimple on the left side that only showed when he was genuinely amused. And he was—at least I thought so. Claire had just finished telling her story about the time she mistook salt for sugar in her baking, and he laughed so hard he nearly dropped his fork.But the next moment…Something went quiet inside him.Not loud. Not even obvious.Just… quiet.Like a light dimmed behind his eyes.His smile faded before anyone noticed. His fork hovered over the raspberry cheesecake, then lowered slowly, like he forgot it was even there. He blinked down at his phone. Once. Twice. Then tapped the side of it with his finger. Just once

  • Never Mine To Love   Wedding Fever pt5

    River's Pov.Noah’s sister arrived like a gust of wind—bright, warm, and impossible to ignore.She burst through the front door with a suitcase rolling behind her and her fiancé in tow, laughing at something he whispered in her ear. Her coat flared around her legs, and her cheeks were pink from the sun. There was something about her—like the kind of person who made every room feel alive the moment she walked in.Her eyes swept the entryway, skipping over the coat rack and Noah’s shoes kicked aside by the rug, and landed right on me.They lit up instantly.“River!” she gasped, her whole face brightening, as if she was seeing a long-lost friend.I barely had time to stand before she closed the space between us and wrapped her arms around me. She smelled like sweet perfume and winter wool, her hug soft and full of energy.“God, it’s so good to finally meet you again!” she said, pulling back just enough to look at me, her hands still warm on my shoulders. “Noah has said nothing when I ask

  • Never Mine To Love   moments before it all came crashing down.

    Daniel’s POV“Our little play date is almost over.”The words echoed in my ears long after Olivia had said them.They weren’t loud, but they rang like a bell I couldn’t unhear. Sharp. Strange. Cold.For a second, I just stood there in my office, frozen. The phone pressed to my ear. The computer still open behind me. A stack of books on the edge of the desk. But everything faded—blurred into nothing.“What did you say?” I asked again, though I had heard her clearly.Olivia’s voice was tight. Not scared, but not calm either. “It’s written on the package,” she said. “Just that. In cut-out black letters. Like something from an old mystery movie.”I rubbed a hand across my jaw. My throat felt dry.“Don’t open it. Don’t touch it,” I said quickly. My body had already started to move on its own. I grabbed my coat from the hook, my keys clinking loudly as I snatched them from the bowl. “Just leave it where it is.”“I didn’t touch anything,” she answered. “It was sitting on the front table when
