Aria's POV

I hadn't returned to the apartment in two days. Deep down, I knew Kane would come looking for me—I just didn't expect him to show up so soon.

The moment I saw him, my heart slammed against my ribs, my breath caught in my throat.

"Get in the car."

No greeting. No warmth. Just a cold, commanding order—his voice sharp enough to cut glass.

I stood frozen in place, refusing to move. I didn't even look him in the eye.

Because I knew the second I did, I'd falter. I'd break.

"Didn't you hear me?" His voice turned darker, laced with fury—as if my silence was some kind of personal insult.

My body instinctively shifted toward him, the old habit of obeying tugging at my feet.

But then Chad's face flashed through my mind—how broken he looked when he woke up, how desperately he avoided the truth. He was proud, strong, and now reduced to… this.

I couldn't leave him. I wouldn't.

    Gabriella's POVKane's face turned stormy in an instant."Gabriella, don't you have anything better to do?" he said, narrowing his eyes at me.I blinked. "What's that supposed to mean?""If you're so bored, go back to your family's company and stop hovering around mine." His voice was cutting, like he couldn't stand the sight of me—like I was just some buzzing insect that needed to be swatted away.I froze.He'd never spoken to me like that before. Even when he was irritated, he'd always kept up appearances—because of who we were to each other.My chest tightened. I softened my voice and tried to sound concerned. "Kane, are you okay? Bad day?" I lowered my eyes, played the part of the gentle fiancée. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to bother you. I'll go now."This move had always worked before. He'd always cave when I backed down.But today, he didn't budge. Not even a flicker of emotion.I st

    Gabriella's POVThe moment it was over, I collapsed onto the sweat-drenched sheets, silent tears carving hot trails down my cheeks.That drink last night… God, when had I even taken it?My stomach twisted violently. How could this happen?"Go to hell!" I mustered every ounce of strength left in my trembling body and slapped the man beside me—hard.His head snapped to the side before he whipped back with a snarl, eyes darkening dangerously. "The fuck was that for?"I clutched the sheets to my chest, my skin burning with shame and fury. "Listen to me," I hissed, voice raw. "You forget this ever happened, or I swear to God, I'll ruin you."The man—that bastard—just smirked, slow and filthy, before rolling his hips in a vulgar thrust that made bile rise in my throat."Really?" His voice dripped with mocking amusement as he shoved himself off the bed, the mattress groaning in relief. "Could've fooled me, swe

    Kane's POVThe chandelier above me blazed with cold, artificial light, but it did nothing to lift the shadows in my mind.I sat behind my desk, staring at the chaotic mess of paperwork in front of me, not saying a word. The silence was suffocating—thick, heavy, and absolute. Baron stood by the wall, not daring to even breathe too loud."Where is she?" I finally asked, my voice low and frigid—like it had clawed its way out of the depths of a frozen grave.Baron flinched, clearly startled, his pulse practically visible at his neck. It took him a second too long to respond. "She's at the hospital."I raised an eyebrow.He quickly added, "Chad was taken there earlier. She's… taking care of him. Caleb's with her."Of course he is. Why wouldn't he be?I let out a bitter laugh, lips curling into something that wasn't quite a smile."Chad and Caleb,"I said mockingly. "How considerate of her, making sure

    Aria's POVThe hospital.Caleb and I had just stepped out of the elevator when a nurse rushed toward us, breathless."Chad's awake,"she said. "But… his emotions are all over the place."Caleb and I exchanged a glance. Without a word, we quickened our pace and hurried down the corridor to Chad's room.The moment I opened the door, I saw Chad yelling at the nurse, his face twisted with anger and despair."Chad."I called out softly.It was like someone had hit pause. His entire body froze.My heart twisted.Taking a slow breath, I walked over to the bed and gently placed both hands on his injured leg. The bandages were thick and cold, layers upon layers between me and him. I couldn't even feel his warmth."Chad,"I said again, voice hoarse.My throat burned, and my eyes began to sting.
