LOGINKiera's eyes lowered slightly. Trying to regulate her emotions, she instinctively said in her mind, I am just overthinking. Nothing is wrong.With that, her chest relaxed slightly, even though fear still lingered somewhere deep beneath it."I am leaving," Kiera declared, turning toward the door."Why not play with us?" Caleb suggested, his tone slightly higher than usual."Caleb," Liam's cold voice rang out.Kiera reached out for the handle, and Caleb asked, "Are you scared of Liam?"Kiera immediately paused in her actions and turned toward Caleb. "Scared of who?"Kiera's left eyebrow raised slightly. Caleb's words were one of the most ridiculous statements Kiera had ever heard. How could she be scared of Liam?"If you are not, then stay," Caleb said, his lips slightly raised in a taunting smirk.Kiera understood his game. He was just trying to manipulate her into staying, and she didn't want to.But when her gaze landed on Liam's dismissive expression, she said with a shrug, "Fine."
Glinting crystal shoes were displayed on top of the shelf under the bright lighting. The same types of shoes were arranged across the shelf. The least expensive pair could buy a small apartment in London, and they were as rare as diamonds.Opposite them was another shelf that held bags of the same quality as the shoes.In between the shelves stood Victoria. In her left hand was a black Chanel bag, while her other hand picked up different items. Her eyes kept traveling between the two shelves.“You have been at this forever,” Kiera, who was standing behind her, spoke.“Just conflicted about what to choose,” Victoria mumbled.Kiera pursed her lips, trying to come up with an easy way to help her pick.She couldn't wait to get out of the boutique with the number of eyes on them. There were at least four staff members following them, claiming they were VIPs, which caused a whole lot of attention.Other people shopping in the boutique kept throwing casual glances their way, and their gazes
“Do you guys know her?” John repeated when none of them gave an answer to his question. “She does,” Liam replied. John turned towards Kiera. “Is that true?” “Yeah, she is some girl I know at school,” Kiera nodded. “Your friend,” Liam corrected. “Liam!” Kiera muttered through gritted teeth. She so badly wanted to shut him up with a punch. Liam remained unfazed. “She is her friend, and making that video was her order.” He pointed at Kiera. “I said she is not my friend, and I didn’t tell her to do anything,” Kiera replied, her expression livid. “Why would I even do that?” she added. “Because you wanted to ride on my popularity,” Liam stated. “You are ridiculous,” Kiera muttered, looking astonished. She didn't understand why he was so full of himself. “Enough,” John cut in between the argument. “Just get her to delete the video.” Liam, who had been calm throughout the conversation, asked, “Seriously?” “What?” John questioned. “You’re cutting her some slack? Is
"Clang, clang." The metal wheels of the travelling bag clanged against the hard floor.Sienna and Zara struggled to get one bag downstairs while Kiera had only her backpack."I told you, it's heavy," Kiera spoke up, watching them struggle.Zara and Sienna had made a bet with her that if they could get the bag downstairs, she would invite them to her house next weekend."Don't worry, we've got this," Zara said with determination."Ugh," Sienna groaned. She took a step back, breathing heavily, then shook her head in disagreement. "I don't think so.""Lazy being." Zara straightened up, breathing heavily herself."I won then," Kiera said, shrugging her shoulders."Who said we're giving up?" Zara asked.She looked over at Sienna, and Sienna immediately shook her head. "We should—"Zara's face suddenly lit up, and she cut Sienna off mid-sentence. "I've got an idea.""What idea?" Sienna asked."Move back," Zara said, not answering Sienna's question.Zara pushed the bag forward, but Sienna re
"You still haven't figured out what's wrong with it?" Sienna asked, crouching beside Silas, who was inspecting the tyre."I've checked almost every part of the car. I can't pinpoint the problem," Silas murmured as he stood up."So, does that mean we're going to miss our reservation?" Sienna asked anxiously."That seems likely," Silas replied, pursing his lips. "It's night, mpossible to get a cab now."Sienna's face immediately fell. She had spent a long time securing a reservation at the couples' restaurant for their date tonight.But now, it seemed impossible to go.In frustration, Sienna kicked the tyre. "Damn you.""Hey, don’t be upset,"Silas said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "We can do something else.""Like what?" Sienna raised an eyebrow skeptically.Silas only smiled mysteriously. "You’ll find out soon enough."He led her out of the parking lot onto the street. The dark night stretched above them, casting a faint glow.After turning a corner, Sienna couldn’t help but ask, "
A faint smell of oil and hot rubber filled the air. Below the railing stretched a smooth track, with an enclosed oval and dramatically raised ends.Whrrrrrr—A pack of cyclists swept onto the straight, their wheels humming against the track. Their bodies were lowered over the handlebars, shoulders tucked in, every movement controlled. The sound grew louder as they approached the bend.Cheers came from the crowd."Liam!""Tristan!""Go!"One after another, they climbed the banking without braking. The cyclists leaned into the curve, their tyres gripping the smooth surface as they shot around the bend and dropped back toward the straight. For a moment, the entire pack seemed to move as one.But suddenly, a white bike sped forward, taking the lead."Tristan!"The cheers for him intensified.A black bike also sped forward from the rest. Kiera immediately identified him as Liam.He accelerated at great speed. Anyone with sense could tell what his target was.He slammed into Tristan's bike,
