Two Days Later

"You changed your dressing style and hair! Any reason for that, Sister-in-law?"

Dawn glances at Tiara, who is approaching her as she places the bouquet of gardenias under the cherry tree. Tiara's eyes are examining her dress and hair.

"Is it looking bad?" Dawn asks. Her appearance has noticeably changed since her recent shopping spree.

"No! I think it's better than before. You used to have the same taste as your sister, and honestly, I didn’t think it suited you. Not to sound judgmental, but this look suits you better," Tiara responds in an apologetic tone.

"Well, I didn't like myself either," Dawn admits, touching her hair. She used to dress like her sister so Travis wouldn't forget Spring. She was forbidden to change her appearance.

But now, she’s going to live according to her own desires. The sense of obligation to her adoptive parents is long gone.

"Brother agreed to let you study, so we’re going to be classmates!" Tiara says cheerfully. When she notices Daw

    Next Day, Spring Clinton sits at her cluttered desk in the small office of the Evergreen Marketing Solutions, tapping her fingers against her coffee mug. Her eyes dart toward the clock on the wall. It’s nearly noon, and she’s already counting the hours until the day ends. The office hums with the usual sounds of keyboards and printers, while her coworkers chat casually nearby. Despite being surrounded by people, she feels more isolated than ever. Her phone buzzes on the desk, and she glances at the screen. It’s a message from Freddie, her boyfriend. She ignores it, not in the mood for his complaints or his latest half-baked schemes. He’s part of the problem, constantly dragging her down with his addictions, his messes. She stuffs the phone in her drawer and turns her attention to the report she’s supposed to finish by noon. But the numbers blur before her eyes. Her head throbs from the night before. She hadn’t planned on using, but Freddie had brought out the pills, and she coul

    " Everything is set up as you want. What's your next step? Mrs Ericson!" While searching for something in her closet, Dawn looks at her phone when Mr Holden asks. She has been thinking a lot and she knows that the future is changing. " Let Ava take care of her mental health first. Make sure Jared plays his role without any trouble." She says, constantly searching for something. However she can't find it. " Is it yet to happen?" She mumbles, trying to find it. " Mrs Ericson. The Supervisor seems to have ignored the report you made. What should we do next then? They might have trusted her abilities and that's why they're overlooking it." " Don't worry about it. I will handle it in my own way. Did you investigate someone called Nancy? I want to find her as soon as possible before something bad happens!" She asks, closing the door of her closet. Pretty disappointed but she is hopeful that it's yet to happen. " Actually there is no one called Nancy Braham in Ohio with the

    Travis stands on the balcony, finding Dawn sitting alone in the garden. He can't shake off the weirdness of her obsession with gardens. Even in his parents' mansion she can't stop visiting the gardens. Travis walks downstairs, heading directly to her, there is something in his eyes, something like determination. As he approaches, his footsteps on the dry leaves get her attention. She raises her head, kinda weak--- Her gaze. " Are you feeling alright?" Dawn asks, having no trace of emotions in those words. Travis nods, sitting next to her. Dawn wants to leave right now. But it will bring confrontation that she doesn't want to do. The morning sickness is troubling her as well. " I thought a lot!" Travis starts, without looking at her, " There are thousands of reasons for you to leave me. I can't deny everything. But I think you should get divorced once you complete your study and get a job. It'll be like an alimony. Since you gave up on studying to marry me, you deserve i

    It was like a slap on his face when Dawn said she could help him to find the woman who he hated most. He squeezes his hand, standing a few steps away from her. " I hope it's a joke!" His icy voice sends shivers down her spine but she remains unhinged, " It's not." Travis grits his teeth, " Is this why you want to divorce? Some insecurities for a ghost that I don't acknowledge? That's disappointing!" His voice gets colder and aggressive. However, his eyebrows raise with surprise when she chuckles mockingly, " Yeah. Probably. Anyway, if you want to, I can help you out. It's not like-- I have insecurities that will give me a happy ending! Your love for her always is higher than anything - Even your blood!" Saying the last sentence inaudibly, she walks inside the house. No matter how innocent or clueless he looks, the future has already proven that he would turn into someone she hates.Travis in the meantime, is entirely flabbergasted and in disbelief.

    Mr Ericson passes the cup of coffee to Travis who is sitting silently at the desk. As usual, his expression is cold and indifferent. But his fingers are fidgeting, revealing his anxiety. " What do you want?" Mr Ericson asks, while staring at his middle child. " I don't know!" He replies in short. " Look, We won't force either of you to make any kind of decisions. This is your life and your marriage. You two are solely responsible for the outcome of this situation. I won't force Dawn to stay with you or I won't force you to get divorced. I want to figure out what -!" " I won't divorce her!" His voice is firm. " Not until she gets what she deserves. I have been thinking about this relationship for a while. Realizing that in this entire ordeal, she was not involved but somehow she got involved with me. I knew I couldn't love anyone, trust anyone. I shouldn't have married her in the first place!"

    Danny bolts into the hallway, heart pounding."Tiara, wait!"His voice echoes off the walls, but she doesn’t pause. Her figure is stiff, her arms wrapped around herself like a barrier, her steps quick and precise. The elevator is already arriving. She steps in without looking back.He rushes in just as the doors start to close.The small space swallows them in silence. Neither speaks. The hum of the elevator is the only sound between them.She stares straight ahead, eyes dull. Her lips press into a hard line, her breathing shallow but composed. Her hands, though, tremble slightly—fingers curled into the fabric of her coat."I didn’t expect you to say that in front of your brother," Danny says, voice quiet and even.His tone carries no accusation, only a trace of confusion, maybe guilt."Neither did I," she replies, voice brittle. "It wasn’t calculated. It just slipped out. Like a stupid truth I couldn’t hold in anymore."He exhales, looking at the floor. His hands are in his pockets,

    "Sis. Aren’t they being ridiculous?" Tiara storms inside, her voice slicing through the calm air like thunder on a sunny day.Travis blinks, still holding his phone mid-air, capturing what was supposed to be a milestone—Asher's first magical taste of ice cream. The toddler had just opened his mouth for another spoonful, lips shiny and eager, when Tiara's entrance pulls all attention to her.Asher immediately swivels his head, wide-eyed and curious. The spoon falls, landing on the floor with a tiny splat. But he doesn't care. His aunt has just entered like a whirlwind, and she looks like she's ready to bite someone.Travis exhales heavily and walks over with Asher on his hip. The little boy now has chocolate on his chin, cheeks, and even his eyebrows, but none of that matters."What happened?" Travis asks, one brow raised. "You just disturbed your nephew’s ice cream moment.""I didn’t!" Tiara leans forward to kiss Asher's forehead, her expression softening for a second before frustrati

    "What do you think you were thinking when you proposed such a ridiculous idea?" Pulling Danny aside, Dawn asks, her voice low but sharp like a blade. Her eyes scan the hallway cautiously, making sure no one overhears them. Her brows are furrowed, and her lips press into a tight, disbelieving line.Danny rubs the back of his neck, his gaze shifting downward as shame and confusion cloud his features. His lips part slightly, trying to form a response, but the words falter. "I just...!"Dawn cuts him off with a glare that could burn holes through steel. "You rejected her. Have you considered how she will feel when she sees you with some random hookups? Bruh! She is in love with you. Not some silly crush!" Her voice trembles slightly with frustration as she throws her hands up.Danny’s eyes widen. The words hit him like cold water. He knew she was in love with him—deep down, he always knew. But he just thought it would be safer this way, that if she stayed close, she wouldn’t have to face

    " Morning Classes? We have already discussed that you can't attend Morning class with the Chancellor!" Mrs Ericson, as the VVIP member of the University director board, looks at Tiara with disbelief. After returning from the university, she has come here to ask if her mother can assign a chauffeur to drive her to the university. Since she gets scared of driving early in the morning after a bad experience. Mrs Ericson leans into her chair and takes a glance at the schedule of the chauffeur teams. There are ten chauffeurs who are in morning duties. So it won't be hard for her to assign one. But..." I will talk to the Chancellor -!'" No, Mom. Nobody knows that I am your daughter there. I don't like to tell it either. Even my friends think I am just a well-off family not some-!"" You despise your family status?" Mrs Ericson raises her brow. " No!" Tiara says, her voice echoes the frustration. " I just want to live like I don't matter to someone because of my family background. I don

    " Tiara! Stop! Please!" Sarah chases her with her backpack in her hand. Tiara has been ignoring them completely, blocking all of her friends' numbers. She doesn't want to be friends with people who are greedy and selfish. Tiara stops turning towards Sarah who runs across the hallway and calling her name. " Why are you doing this?" Sarah takes a deep breath and looks at Tiara with a pitiful gaze. " You can't just throw away our friendship just because we didn't take you to the trip. We have learned our lesson. Now stop being dramatic and clear the air!"Tiara is beyond shocked. The tone of Sarah feels like Tiara is the one who is being unreasonable and dramatic. " It's really awful, you know. You always show yourself like some spoiled rich girl. You should consider our emotions. You ever stopped sponsoring Sam's tuition fee. Isn't this extreme?"Tiara with full amusement, listens to Sarah. She used to think them as her family. She prioritized them. Now listening to Sarah's entitl

    " He rejected?" Dawn asks, surprised. " Yes. He said he can't love anyone right now!" The smile remains on her lips but the bitterness feels so palpable. "I am sorry, Tia!" Dawn gently holds her into her arms, " Danny has been hurt by his wife and might be in bad mood. Maybe you can try-!" " No!" Tiara whispers softly... " He was genuine. I saw those eyes. They didn't lie. He wasn't interested in me." " You want to give up? Isn't it too early?" Dawn asks softly, knowing that Tiara is in pain. " It's not like I am giving up. I am protecting my feelings from getting hurt and being hoped for. I will nurture them on my own!" Dawn's eyes widened. Tiara looks so calm about the entire situation. The Rejection must have affected her. " Are you sure you will be fine? It's your choice. But what if ... All I want is to see you being happy with someone who loves you and cherishes you!"

    Next morning, Tiara has woken up with hundreds of calls and messages from her friends. Her sleepy eyes have failed to understand the context of the messages. But the moment all the memories rush back to her mind, she stiffens. Not only has she cancelled everything, but she has also confessed her love and has gotten rejected. Her hand reaches her forehead, gently rubbing between her brows. Tears fight to gather around her beautiful cerulean eyes. Not only has she lost those friends she thought of as true friends, but she has also been rejected. "What a shitty day!" She takes a deep breath and forces herself to smile. "But I am proud of myself!" She gently taps her own cheeks before walking to the washroom. But her movements halt midway when the phone rings again. This time, she has decided to face reality instead of running away from everyone. The caller ID is registered under her best friend's name, who didn’t care slightly yesterday and was the one who initiated pushing h

Jealousy? For what?The silence lingers between them, thick and unyielding. Tiara's fingers tremble around the neck of the empty wine bottle resting beside her. The flickering light above them casts shadows on her face, highlighting the strain written across her features.However, Tiara, who has been drowning herself in guilt, keeps talking with her drunken voice. As if the walls that have been building up around her with guilt and unrequited love crumble like a sandcastle.Her words are slurred but painfully sincere. There’s no pretense, no filter left.
