What About Love? Chapter 42
JEYAHToday is Darren’s wedding day—and also the day of my flight to South Korea. I chose to leave for a while, hoping distance will help me forget everything that happened here.“Are you really sure about this?” Andre asked.“Yes, boo,” I answered quietly.“But why didn’t you tell your groupmates? They’re your friends.”I let out a long breath. “I’ll update them once I arrive. For now… I just need space.”Andre stared at me for a moment, worry clouding his eyes. “Okay… if that’s what you really need.”We walked toward the airport gate in silence. Every step felt heavier than the last. The excited chatter of passengers, rolling suitcases, and boarding announcements echoed around us—but to me, everything sounded distant and blurred.At one point, I glanced at my phone.No message.No call.Not even a simple goodbye.I shouldn’t have expected anything… but some part of me still did.Andre nudged me gently. “Don’t look for something that will only hurt you.”I forced a small smile. “I kn
What About Love? Chapter 41
DARRENTwo days from now, I’ll be officially marrying a woman I don’t love and it's like falling into an endless abyss. Every tick of the clock tightens the knot in my chest, reminding me of the life I’m being forced into. My father and Bridgette's family seem excited, but not me, my sisters, and my groupmates who knew the truth.“Come on, Darren,” Bridgette cooed, clasping her hands together. “Why the gloomy face? We'll be getting married in two days and I can finally tell the world you’re mine.”I clenched my jaw, suppressing the anger rising in my chest. “And how do you expect me to smile after blackmailing me into this?”She simply rolled her eyes, a smug grin curling on her lips.“Relax, love. Someday, you’ll learn to love me. And when that time comes, you’ll realize we were always meant to be.”I glared at her. “That’s never going to happen, Bridgette. The only woman I love is Jeyah.”Her expression twisted into irritation. “Seriously? You’re still thinking about her?” She smir
What About Love? Chapter 40
JEYAHAfter hearing Darren’s explanation, I felt a strange sense of relief. The pain inside me eased a little when I learned he was forced into the engagement—for the sake of his sick mother.In his heart, I was the only girl he ever loved. But sometimes, even the strongest love can’t promise a happy ending. Love demands sacrifices… and some of them hurt.“Sweetie, are you alright?” Andre asked the moment we got home from the celebration. My groupmates had gone off to continue theirs with their families.“Yes, boo. I’m okay. Darren and I finally talked,” I replied softly.“And? What did he say?”I let out a long breath before slowly telling my brother everything—the truth Darren had been carrying all along.When I finished, Andre leaned back on the couch, eyes serious, jaw slightly clenched. For a moment, he didn’t speak. His silence was louder than any reaction I could imagine.“So that’s it?” he finally murmured. “He broke you because he had no choice?”His voice was calm, but I cou

JEYAHAs the program began, the host’s voice echoed through the speakers, lively and energetic. One by one, names were called, followed by applause and proud cheers from families. Everyone seemed to shine in their own moment.When my name flashed on the screen, I felt a sudden tightness in my chest.“Congratulations to our graduate, Jeyah Abby Arguello. Cumlaude!"I stood up, forcing a smile. Mom and Andre joined me on stage to place the medals around my neck. Their faces were beaming with pride, and for a brief second, I almost forgot the weight pressing down on me.Almost.As I shook hands with the school officials and received my diploma, a wave of cheers erupted. But when I stepped down, I noticed something from the corner of my eye.Darren.He was staring at me and for a moment, my heart skipped a beat. I averted my gaze and looked around. That’s when I saw my groupmates, smiling as they waited for their names to be announced.Later, when the ceremony ended, camera flashes scatt
What About Love? Chapter 38
DARRENDays turned into months, but the weight of my decision never stopped haunting me. My groupmates became distant and cold, and I couldn’t blame them. From their eyes, I was a fool—an idiot who hurt Jeyah. It felt like an invisible wall was placed between us, plastered with their judgment.Tomorrow is my graduation day. It should be one of the happiest moments in my life, but all I feel is emptiness. The toga hanging by the door, the medal wrapped in paper—none of it brings joy. My family is here, but it doesn’t fill the hollow feeling in my chest.Dolly entered my room holding a warm cup of tea."Here," she offered. “Are you really going through with this? ” she asked quietly.“Yes,” I answered, my voice sounding broken—static, like a radio with a poor signal. “I have no other choice.”Daphne, who was following behind, leaned on the doorframe, watching me with soft eyes, then walked closer and rubbed my back. “Chum, we’re angry at Bridgette,” she said, voice trembling with both f
What About Love? Chapter 37
DARREN“I don’t know what came into your mind, Darren! ”Angela snapped, her voice shaking with frustration. “You hurt Jeyah when she was finally ready to commit to you! ”Her words echoed in the hallway, catching the attention of a few students passing by. I swallowed hard. I could feel every pair of eyes on me.The rest of my groupmates stood around her, arms crossed, anger and disbelief etched on their faces. Even behind their stern expressions, I could see it clearly—the disappointment. The pain that wasn’t even theirs to begin with. They loved Jeyah like a sister… and I lost my right to be in their circle the moment I allowed her heart to break.“Do you have any idea how devastated she was? ” Eduard added, his tone low but sharp. “She didn’t sleep. She barely ate. All she did was cry.”My fists clenched. Hearing that felt like a stab straight into my chest. I wanted to explain, defend myself, and tell them I was hurt too—but the words felt useless.“I saw her the other day,” Clair
