Eli’s POV

“I’ll meet you during break this time. And I mean it,” Desmond said as soon as we stepped out of the van. We had just arrived at school. Students were already walking in through the gates, some laughing, some rushing like they were late.

I adjusted my bag on my shoulder and looked at him. “You don’t have to,” I said. “Going to school together and going back home together is already enough.”

I tried to sound casual, but I meant it. But as usual, he didn’t look convinced. He just smi

  • WHO AM I THIS TIME?   Chapter 32

    Eli’s POV “I’ll meet you during break this time. And I mean it,” Desmond said as soon as we stepped out of the van. We had just arrived at school. Students were already walking in through the gates, some laughing, some rushing like they were late. I adjusted my bag on my shoulder and looked at him. “You don’t have to,” I said. “Going to school together and going back home together is already enough.” I tried to sound casual, but I meant it. But as usual, he didn’t look convinced. He just smiled. “I’ll still come,” he said. I sighed quietly. Of course he would. There was no point arguing with him. “Do whatever you want,” I muttered, turning away as I headed toward the school building. “I will,” he called after me. I didn’t turn back. I walked into my class, and walked straight to my seat and sat down, placing my bag on the desk. I turned my head slightly to see that Alaric had been watching me the whole time. Our eyes met and I smiled immediately. “Hi.” Damn… this guy is damn

  • WHO AM I THIS TIME?   Chapter 31

    Eli’s POV I was scrolling through my phone when the maid knocked softly on my door. “Young Sir, your father and Andy have arrived,” she said. I didn’t wait a second. I jumped out of bed and rushed downstairs. “Dad! You’re back!” I said, a smile breaking across my face. I ran to him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, his hand rubbing gently across my back. I pulled away after a moment and went straight to Andy. “Are you okay?” I asked, staring into his eyes. Andy smiled, though it didn’t quite reach the corners of his mouth. “Don’t worry. I’m fine.” Guilt pricked me sharply at his words. I knew I was the reason he had been in danger. He must have noticed my expression because he hugged me again, rubbing my back to reassure me. Despite everything, I felt relief. He was back safe and unharmed. Dinner that night was lively as I laughed freely, enjoying the simple happiness of being with a family. After dinner, I slipped back into my room. I lay on my bed, staring at the c

  • WHO AM I THIS TIME?   Chapter 30: Abuse

    Eli’s POV “We’re here, sir.” The driver’s voice pulled me out of a light, restless sleep. I blinked slowly, my vision adjusting as I looked out through the tinted window. The mansion stood tall and silent in front of us, just as imposing as I remembered. I gave a small nod, more to myself than to the driver. He got out, walked around the van, and opened the door for me. Cool air rushed in, brushing against my face. I shifted forward, about to step out, when Desmond’s firm hand grabbed my wrist. I turned back to face him, already knowing the look I’d see on his face. And I wasn’t wrong. His jaw was tight, his eyes sharp, fixed on me like he had been waiting for this moment. “I’ll ask again,” he said, his voice low but heavy with meaning. “Don’t you have something to explain to me?” I let out a quiet breath, feeling the tension settle deeper into my chest. Of course, he wouldn’t forget about it. “I’ll explain everything later,” I replied, keeping my tone steady and final. I

  • WHO AM I THIS TIME?   Chapter 29

    Eli’s POV After a long ride in the taxi, we finally arrived at the address written on the paper. The taxi slowed down and stopped in front of a large villa. I pushed the door open and stepped out, stretching my legs slightly after sitting for so long. The air outside felt fresh compared to the stuffy taxi. I looked up at the building in front of us. The villa was big and elegant. Tall white walls surrounded the property, and a wide gate stood slightly open. The garden inside looked well maintained, with trimmed hedges and neat flowers lining the walkway that led to the front door. For a moment, I just stood there, staring at it. So this is the place… Behind me, Desmond stepped out of the taxi and immediately brushed his hands against his clothes as if trying to wipe something off. “You know I never enter taxis,” he complained, his voice full of irritation. “They’re dirty. I’m definitely going to need a proper shower when we get home.” I let out a long sigh. Typical rich ki

  • WHO AM I THIS TIME?   Chapter 28

    Eli’s POV I stood in front of the massive building, staring up at it with a slightly dazed expression. The words “LoomsLight Restaurant” were written across the front in elegant golden letters. The sign alone looked expensive. The entire building was tall and beautiful, with glass walls that reflected the sunlight. It didn’t look like an ordinary restaurant at all. From what I could see, the place also functioned as a hotel. People walked in and out of the building dressed in suits, dresses, and expensive-looking clothes. A valet stood near the entrance, guiding cars into the driveway while another staff member held the door open for guests. This place screamed luxury. I shook my head slightly, forcing myself to focus. Alright, Eli. Get yourself together. I took a step forward and began walking toward the entrance. Before I could take another step, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist. I groaned in frustration. Of course it was Desmond. I tried pulling my wrist away, but his

  • WHO AM I THIS TIME?   Chapter 27

    Eli’s POV I stood there, completely frozen. My mind felt blank, yet at the same time it was filled with too many thoughts. I never thought things would get to this extent. The living room felt strangely quiet after the news about Andy’s accident. The maids were whispering softly among themselves, and the atmosphere was heavy with worry. My stepmother sniffed quietly and wiped the tears in her eyes with a handkerchief. “At least they are safe, right?” she said softly, almost like she was trying to convince herself. Amber nodded gently beside her. “Yes… the hospital said Andy is stable,” Amber replied. Stepmom took a deep breath before slowly standing up. “Let’s go have dinner,” she said. Amber stood up with her immediately. “Everyone should eat something. We cannot stay hungry because of worry,” Amber added. The maids quickly moved toward the dining room to prepare the table. But I didn’t move because the shock was still there. Kyle stood up from the sofa and looked
