เข้าสู่ระบบLiam's POVThe moment Aria walked up to me right away, after she said, “Liam, come on. Let's go dance.” She dropped her wine cup on the table next to her on her way to me and then came and held my shoulder slightly, creating the atmosphere for a dancing mood and so, I had no other choice than to hold her back at her waist in return as demanded. Just to keep up with the energy and play along as I had chosen to stay back as I promised Ken, to see what plan he had against Steph, which I believe would eventually end all of this madness she is pulling lately about me being expelled.Even though I could smell rat but then, as you already know, I got Ken.So, all the whole while, I subconsciously had my eyes fixed on Ken as the thought was going through my mind.While Steph on her side, came to take Ken to the centre of the party.But I just have to trust whatever Ken was up to this time because after this last time, things goes south and end up getting back at me, then I am done for real.I
Ken's POVKnowing that Steph and whoever was already there with her, seem to pull the door down.Ken understood how desperate Steph could be when she wants to get something badly and so, she knew that the best they could do was to plan on how to make it seem like Ken was the only one in here. Because if they eventually get in here, then there was no where for Liam and so, there would be no way they would justify the fact that only the both of them were in, with the door locked.Without making it sound fish, knowing that was at stake.(Help me to express how Ken and Liam were able to come up with a plan to make it seem like it was only Ken that was in here.(Of course, it's in Ken's POV.)“Since here is a restroom, then I think I know what to do. Just find a space to hide inside one of the toilets.I will make my way out right away with a straight face so that they wouldn't be able to read anything on my face. And as soon as you notice that we were out together, then you can come out of
Steph's POVThe moment Eric suggested breaking the door down I stepped back instinctively… far enough to be out of the way of whatever force they were about to use, but close enough that I would have a clear, unobstructed view of everything that came next. As I was already suspecting that something was going on in there and that Ken must be in there…I could actually feel that, even though I can't prove it if I don't see for myself.Eric and Lauren positioned themselves side by side facing the door. They moved together on the first attempt with their shoulders forward in combined weight — and the door held still. The second attempt had the same result. On the third, they pulled back and went in with everything, the kind of force that was going to end with either the door giving way or something on their end giving out first.The door opened.But surprisingly, it actually opened from the inside.It swung inward before Eric and Lauren made contact with it, pulling open cleanly from withi
Steph's POVI had been standing in this corridor for what felt like far too long for a person whose birthday party was running without them in the next room.The cake was waiting. The guests were waiting. This was a moment I had planned, dressed for and coordinated every detail of it, but was now sitting on the other side of a wall and even ticking forward without me, while Ken was nowhere I could find him.I had checked three different spaces before ending up here — the outer corridor, the side entrance, the area near the refreshments — and each time I had come up empty. Then something had pulled me to this particular door which was a sound, or what I thought was a sound. Let's say, it was more of a muffled voice that could have been nothing or could have been exactly what I suspected it was."Babe, are you in there?" I knocked again and waited.Yet nothing came back. There was no response, no movement, not even the kind of shuffling that happened when someone was trying to pretend th
Liam's POV"Steph must have sent that text from your phone." The thought clicked and the words came out before I had fully finished processing it. But they landed with the specific weight of something that made complete sense the moment it was said out loud."Yeah." Ken nodded slowly, the pieces falling into place on his face in real time. "She has been glued to my side all evening. And the way she kept us from getting here earlier — that whole performance about the celebrant making a grand entrance." He exhaled. "She is the only one who could have done it. She had my phone, the time to do it and a reason to want you here tonight.""Those people planned this together." I said it quietly, the full picture now assembled in a way that left no real gaps. "One of them sent you the message from my phone to get you here. The other one took the sketchbook from where I had it." He paused. "Both pieces moving at the same time toward the same result.""But you know that you cannot accuse them of
Liam's POVKen opened his mouth and then closed it without a single word coming out.That silence…you know that specific and telling silence — did more than any defense he could have offered. Because if there had been something real to say, he would have said it. I think Ken was not the type to hold back when he had a genuine case to make. The absence of words was its own kind of answer."I can see it." I nodded slowly, looking directly into his eyes. "Say it and I will leave you alone."Something shifted in his jaw. He looked at me for a moment with that expression that sat between frustration and something more personal, and then…"Fine." He said it through gritted teeth, like the word cost him something to release.Then before I had time to process what was happening, he moved. His lips found mine fast and certain, both hands coming up to hold either side of my neck steadily, and the kiss landed before I had made any decision about whether to allow it.It was not tentative. It was n
Ken's POV"It's actually none of your business."Liam said politely or let's say, with the tone of someone trying to be polite even though there was absolutely nothing polite about those words when you really listened to them. It was the kind of response that hit harder because it was calm. No shou
Liam's POVAt this point, it felt like I was losing control of myself and couldn't even help the thoughts going through my head.Ken wasn't helping matters either. He even brought his lips closer to mine. ‘What's with this vibe? Is he going to kiss me?’Because the way Ken had his eyes fixed on my
Author's POVKen stood under the shower with his head slightly tilted back, water kept running from the top of his head and trailing down every line of his body like it had somewhere important to be. His dark hair was soaked through and curling slightly at the ends from the heat, dripping in thin s
Steph's POVI was not going to pretend that tonight was just another event.I had put in the work as I ‘dressed to kill’ in a short black fitted dress that hit just above the knee, heels that added three inches and made every step count, hair down and styled the way I knew looked best under event l
