LOGINCassian entered the hospital room quietly, his heart aching as he saw Hailey sitting by the window, tears silently streaming down her face. The guards had informed him that she was awake, and he had rushed back after bandaging his bruised knuckles and changing into fresh clothes. He needed to see her, to be with her.
The soft click of the door closing made Hailey turn. Her tear-filled eyes met his, and for a moment, they just stared at each other in silence. The pain in her eyes mirror
"Shall we head back?" Alex asked, looking at Hailey with a smile."Yup," Hailey nodded, still a little flushed from the excitement of the race.They made their way out of the park toward the car, the night air cool and refreshing. Hailey walked beside Cassian, her hand comfortably tucked into his. Suddenly, she tugged him down, catching him by surprise, and pressed a firm, playful kiss on his cheek.Cassian chuckled, tilting his head toward her. "What was that for?"Hailey smiled innocently. "Nothing just felt like it."He shook his head, a soft smile playing on his lips as he pulled her closer, wrapping an arm around her in a side embrace. They continued walking toward the car, her small bursts of affection warming his heart.Unbeknownst to them, a car parked a little way off had been watching them closely. The window slowly rolled down, revealing Maxwell Lockhood inside. His eyes were dark, filled with growing jealousy as he watched the co
"Dessert?" Caleb asked."We'll get ice cream from the nearby parlor, it's within walking distance," Hailey suggested, and everyone agreed. After paying the bill, they headed out, walking toward the ice cream parlor."Rose, wear your jacket," Cassian exclaimed and made her wear the jacket."Park?" Hailey exclaimed, pointing toward a nearby park."Sure," Cassian replied, and the group made their way there while enjoying their ice creams.Cassian and Alex walked behind, while Caleb and Hailey were ahead of them. Hailey, grinning widely, climbed up onto a small sidewall and began walking along it."Now you can say you're taller than us," Caleb teased.Hailey stuck her tongue out at him as she finished her ice cream. Caleb held her hand lightly to keep her from losing balance.Meanwhile, behind them, Alex spoke in a low tone to Cassian. "Things are getting messier. I've got a feeling Zuri's planning something big."Cassian, k
Meanwhile, outside, Caleb turned back to face Mark and Oliver. His usual playful demeanor had hardened slightly, but he kept things casual."You two really should back off," he began, keeping his tone light. "She's not the type to entertain your kind."Mark and Oliver exchanged a glance before Mark smirked. "Come on, man, we're just having a little fun. We could show her a good time, maybe even spend the night."Oliver chuckled in agreement, making Caleb's jaw tighten. But instead of snapping, he leaned in closer, his voice dangerously calm."If you love your lives," Caleb said, his voice dropping low, "you'll step back. Because I promise, even your parents won't know where you disappeared to if you keep this up."Mark and Oliver blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting the intensity behind Caleb's words. But instead of showing fear, they forced a laugh, trying to brush it off."Alright, alright," Mark said, waving a hand dismissively. "No
They stepped into the hall and found Alex and Caleb already ready."Shall we leave?" Alex asked, his gaze landing on them."Yup!" Hailey exclaimed, her excitement palpable as they all four made their way out of the penthouse."Angry Bird, you're looking like a golden witch!" Caleb teased, a playful grin on his face.Hailey shot him a glare, tossing her hair back with a little jerk. "You're just jealous; I know my hair looks beautiful," she said, admiring her reflection in the lift's mirror, savoring her self-praise.Alex and Cassian chuckled, and Caleb stood behind her, sticking his tongue out playfully.Once exited the lift, they headed towards Hailey's car, which Lucas had already brought from Fiona's house."Yeah, beautiful dwarf," Caleb whispered again, a mischievous glint in his eyes."Hey, I'm not a dwarf! You guys are just giants!" she retorted with a mock-serious expression, glancing up at the tall frames of Cassian, Ca
Evening time:-Cassian came inside the room and found her standing in front of the dressing table and curling her hair. She was standing in a towel. "I'll take a shower," Cassian said. "Okay, I'll take out your clothes," Hailey said and Cassian went to take a shower.Hailey curled her hair and set it. In the meantime, Cassian came out while rubbing his hair with a towel. "Give me a minute," Hailey said while picking up the lipstick and coated her lips."This lipstick color is good?" she asked Cassian who was now checking his phone. He looked at her and found her looking in the mirror while pouting her lips.He smirked and came near her and turned her around. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Cassian bent a little a captured her lips in his. "Umm," she tried to push but he deepened the kiss."Cassian," she whined when he broke the kiss and she looked at the mirror. Her psychopath literary ate her entire lipstick. "Lipstick wa
Hailey got up with a bright idea in mind: she wanted to make a special breakfast for Alex since it was his first time visiting her penthouse. Cassian was still asleep, so she quietly slipped out of bed and headed to the kitchen. Luckily, she had everything she needed to prepare a nice spread. She got to work, whipping up a delicious meal, feeling content.Once she finished, she went to wake the trio from their respective rooms. One by one, Alex, Cassian, and Caleb groggily woke up and went to freshen up. Hailey returned to the hall and glanced around, making sure everything was perfect for their morning meal.Suddenly, her eyes landed on the curtains, and she realized they hadn't been changed in a while. With about half an hour before the men would be ready, she decided to take care of it. She headed to the closet behind the staircase, grabbing a fresh set of curtains neatly packed. Determined to get the job done, she brought out the ladder and started removing the old

Hailey tried to speak, but no words came out. She stared at him in a daze. “Hmm,” Cassian hummed, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. Hailey shook her head, resting her head on his chest. Cassian wrapped his arms around her securely.Suddenly, she looked up at him with a
