Liam’s POV

Nicole’s fingers lingered on my sleeve even after I parked in front of the nursing school.

It was always like this with her, soft pauses, quiet moments that felt safer than they should. I leaned over the console and kissed her, slow and familiar. She smiled, that gentle smile that made me feel like I had done something right with my life.

“Text me when you’re done with classes,” I said.

She nodded, tucking her bag higher on her shoulder before stepping out. I watched her walk away until the glass doors swallowed her whole.

Only then did I drive off.

The city swallowed me, I got stuck in traffic, some cars blew their horns. The calm I felt with Nicole faded as my phone buzzed against the console.

I glanced down. It was Anna.

My grip tightened on the steering wheel.

I hadn’t saved her number again. I didn’t need to. Some names branded themselves into your memory whether you wanted them to or not.

At the next red light, I checked the message

It was an address.

    Nicole’s POVThe notification buzzed in my hand, and I froze.“Hey, I’m swamped at work. Can you grab a cab and head home? Sorry, Nicole. I love you.”I stared at the screen, the words heavier than they should have been. Busy at work. Couldn’t come. I understood, I really did. But a small knot of disappointment settled in my chest anyway.I tapped out a quick reply. “Okay. Stay safe, love you too.”I sat back for a moment, glancing at the cafeteria exit where my new friend was waiting. He noticed the small slump in my shoulders.“You okay?” he asked, tilting his head.“Yeah,” I said quickly, waving off the concern. “Just… my boyfriend, Liam, can’t make it.”“I have a bike, why don't you hop on with me? I can drop you off. No big deal.” Frank offered.But I wasn't interested, especially when he's known for hanging out and making out with girls. “No thanks, I can manage.” I rejected his offer politely.He gave a faint nod, not pushing further. “Got it. See you in class tomorrow?”I smil

    Adrian’s POVThe door opened without a knock.I didn’t need to look up to know it was Liam.His footsteps were heavier than usual, too fast and sharp. Anger always announced itself on him before his mouth did. I closed the file I was reading, slow on purpose, letting the silence stretch until it irritated him.He shut the door behind him.“What do you want from me?” I said, leaning back slightly in my chair, studying him the way I’d learned to study opponents in court.“You’re busy,” he said, not bothering to hide the accusation.“I make time for important things,” I replied evenly. “This better qualify.”His lips pressed together. Then he mentioned her name, “Nicole.”Of course.The name settled in my chest like a weight I hadn’t learned how to move yet.I stood up calmly, circling the desk, not to intimidate him but because sitting suddenly felt like restraint. “You didn’t come here to talk,” I said. “You came here to stake a claim.”His eyes flicked sharply. “She’s my girlfriend, A

    Nicole's POV Sunlight streamed through the thin curtains, cutting streaks of gold across the Ryder's Mansion.I hurried down, not wanting to be late to school as this is the start of a new semester but I almost turned back upstairs the moment I saw Adrian.That was my first instinct the moment I reached the bottom of the staircase and heard movement in the dinning. My hand tightened around the railing, my pulse loud in my ears. Adrian was the one person I wasn’t ready to face.I could feel him before I saw him, his sharp presence surrounding the room. He stood by the counter, dressed in a dark suit and a crisp shirt, sleeves buttoned all the way down, looking as if last night had never happened. As if nothing had cracked open between us.He didn’t even look at me, not once. No pause, flicker of recognition. Just the quiet clink of a mug as he poured coffee, his posture calm and distant, impossibly composed. The lack of acknowledgment unsettled me more than any lingering stare would h

    “Where did you go ?” Liam asked me sitting up “I was tasty, so I went to grab water.”“You should have woken me.” “I didn't want to disturb you and tomorrow is your first day working at your family's company.” I muttered, holding my both hands together.“Yeah, I'm a bit excited.” He gave me a slight smile as he stretched his hands. “Come to me.”I walked towards him, taking his hands. He suddenly pulled me closer to him. “Can I ask you something?” I asked him suddenly, unable to hide my curiosity.“What is it?” He whispered, touching my body.“It seems like you and Adrian are not too close to each other.” I “Why do you say so?” he stopped his movement looking at me.“You guys barely said a word to each other, like everything you guys talked about during lunch rotated around business or me.” I voiced out my observations.“We had some issues but we have sorted it out. It's nothing important.” he told me plainly Clearly, there was more to it but I didn't want to push, especially give

    Liam POV I carried another box down the hallway. Nicole’s things were scattered across the guest room floor, half-unpacked, half-still in their bags.She sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees, looking a bit distracted. “Need help?” I asked.She shook her head. “I’m fine.”Her voice was soft, but there was steel behind it. I smiled, she always had that stubborn streak. But something about her felt different recently.I leaned against the doorframe. “Alright. Just… don’t hesitate to tell me anything, okay?”She nodded. Eyes flicking toward the corner, toward the window, toward nothing.I noticed the way she flinched when I shifted. Her gaze went sharp, alert, like she expected someone else to be there.I frowned a bit. “Nicole,” I said, voice quieter this time, more careful. “Are you thinking about your family? I know it's hard and I won't act like I understand but please know that I will always be here.”She didn’t answer immediately. She looked down at her hands, clenched so
