    “I'll be in your country next week,” Leon said right away, his voice calm like nothing just happened, like he didn’t just end the call minutes ago. “But it's for a business trip. I might find time to see you, but I'm not sure yet.” He didn't explain the hang-up, and I didn't bother asking because what he just said drowned everything else out. Leon was coming here? To my country? Hell yeah! Excitement bubbled up inside me, wild and hot. I wanted to jump, yell and scream but I held it in.“Okay…” I said, keeping my voice normal and steady. Even though inside, I was squealing like a kid. “I had no idea you do business in my country too.” The words came out casual, but my mind was racing. Visions of seeing him, seeing his face, his smile, and maybe even a hug orr more from him clouded my mind. I bit my lip to stop the grin.“I'll let you know when I'm around.” Leon said, simply and then, he hung up again. There was no goodbye and no soft words but I didn't care because I was buzzing w

    “Yeah…” I trailed off, my hands shaking so bad. I gripped the phone tighter, my knuckles turning white for the hundredth time., My throat felt dry, tight, like I was choking on nothing. I was trying so hard not to cry, blinking fast to keep the tears back. It was very tough. Emotions bubbled up in my chest, hurt, longing and pain, all mixed together. Why did he have to say it like we were better off apart? Didn't he feel it too, that pull? Was I the only one feeling this way all along? There was another silence after that, it was long, thick and stretching out. I could hear his breathing on the other end, it was slow and steady while mine was ragged, and rough. The room around me felt too quiet, just the hum of the fan and my heartbeat thumping loud in my ears. I wanted to fill the gap and say something to make it better, but the words were stuck in my throat. What could I say? That I hated being away? That every day without him felt empty?“You don't look like yourself anymore, by

    “Your brother-in-law has been threatening me, sending his men to harass me. Just because of you?” Leon's voice rose, frustration spilling out of him. “Does he actually know who the hell I am? Does he know the kind of things I can do? He's clearly testing my patience at this point, and it's just because of you that I'm holding myself back.”I gripped the phone tighter, my knuckles turning white. Anger surged through me and suddenly, I hated Vakrez, I really hated him. For dragging Leon into this and for making my mess his problem. “I made it clear to Vakrez that you didn't do anything to me. I also told him to leave you alone. I have no idea he did this when you didn't do anything to me.” I yelled out, my voice breaking a little at the end. My face felt hot, tears pricking my eyes. How could Vakrez ignore me like that after everything I told him.“Are you sure about that? Are you sure I didn't do anything to you?” Leon asked, his voice a little better now and not as harsh as before.

    “Hi... it's me, Ronan.” I said as soon as the call connected. I didn't mean for my voice to sound so shaky, but my nerves were getting the best of me right then. My heart was pounding hard in my chest, like it wanted to jump out. I'd waited so long for this moment, dialing his number with fingers that trembled a little. The phone felt heavy against my ear, and I could hear the faint ring cutting off into silence. Now what? What if he hung up right away? Or worse, what if he didn't remember me at all? But no, that couldn't happen, right? Not after everything that had happened between the both of us. “Ronan?”Leon said my name, his voice deep and rough, just like I remembered and It hit me like a wave, crashing over me all at once. I took a sharp breath, trying to steady myself but different emotions swirled up fast inside me; relief, excitement and a bit of fear. I hadn't heard his voice in forever, in months that felt like years. The way he said my name, low and surprised, did things

    Maya sighed again, but it was deeper. “Oh, it's a problem with the family. His brother especially. There was a big fight between the both of them. It got really ugly, shouting and all that. Which led to their father preparing a marriage ceremony for Kael, Leon's brother. But the problem is, Kael ran away on the day he was supposed to meet his bride's family andIt caused a huge mess with everyone freaking out. Leon kind of had to carry the blame for it, which doesn't make any sense to me. He's not even involved like that. But anyways, his father isn't taking it easy on him at the moment. Blaming him for everything and making his life hell.” I bit my lip hard as I listened, my teeth sinking in until it hurt. My stomach dropped low, like it was falling out of me. And then she kept going. “Also, his house got attacked. Some bad stuff went down, people broke in, fights broke out and he lost a number of people close to him, maybe staff, I don't know all the details. So right now, he's dea

    I had to force myself to stop imagining all that stuff because it was doing me more harm than good. My mind had gone way too far, picturing Leon and Maya doing things that were even wilder than what I could handle with him. I hated how I felt right and the jealousy burned hot in my chest, like fire eating me up from inside. Anger mixed in too and I hated that my own head was messing with me, making me see pictures I didn't want to see at all. It twisted my gut and made my hands shake a little. Why couldn't I just push it away? Why did it stick like glue?I sat there on my bed and the room felt stuffy all of a sudden, the air thick around me. My shirt stuck to my skin from the sweat earlier, and I could smell myself, salty, spent. It was making me feel worse. The images kept flickering in my head, Leon's strong hands on her, her moans in the air and I shook my head hard, like that would knock it out.“Stop.” I whispered to myself, my voice low and rough. “Just stop.” But it was hard,
