LOGINSean’s P.O.V
There was no doubt that I loved driving more than anything. But there was a stark difference between driving on the tracks and driving on the highway. While sitting behind the wheel was something I was born to do, navigating through the mid-morning traffic was not exactly on the top of my Favorite Activities List.
I could feel Coal’s eyes boring into me from the passenger seat. He’d been uncharacteristically quiet for the past few
Pakin’s P.O.V“We met because of May…”The words were out before I could stop myself.Sean’s expression shifted, the warmth in his eyes flickering with confusion. His fingers, still wrapped around mine, twitched slightly, as if bracing for something he wasn't sure he wanted to hear.“What… what do you mean?” His voice was careful, measured, but I could hear the uncertainty beneath it.I swallowed the lump in my throat, my palms growing clammy despite the cool hospital air.There’s no turning back now.“The reason I first approached you at the racecourse…” I hesitated, before continuing on, “It was because of May.”Sean stiffened, his fingers momentarily loosening before tightening again. He furrowed his eyebrows. “May? What does she have to do with this?”My heart was pounding so loudly it drowned out the r
Pakin’s P.O.VA steady, rhythmic beeping pulled me from the depths of unconsciousness. The scent of antiseptic wafted in the air, sterile and sort of metallic. My eyelids felt heavy, my limbs weighed down as if I’d been asleep for years.Slowly, I forced my eyes open, blinking against the bright fluorescent lights. White walls. A faint hum of activity outside the door. The realization crept in belatedly—I’m in a hospital.Disoriented, I tried to move, but even that was a struggle. My thoughts were slow, muddled, struggling to piece together how I got here.Then, movement.Sean.He was by my side in an instant, his face filled with relief and concern. His hair was slightly disheveled, dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept in a while.“You’re awake,” he breathed. “How are you feeling?”When I opened my mouth to answer, my throat was dry, my voice
Pakin’s P.O.VMy hands clenched the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white. My breath came in short, uneven gasps, the air around me thick and suffocating, pressing against my lungs like a vice.I could feel my pulse hammering against my throat, a frantic, erratic rhythm that sent a sharp ache through my temples.The world outside the windshield blurred, streetlights and passing cars smearing into streaks of color, but it wasn’t just my vision—my mind felt like it was unraveling, spiraling.My chest tightened, my stomach twisted, and a cold sweat broke out along the back of my neck.I couldn’t breathe.The betrayal, the laughter, every lie May had ever told me crushed down on me all at once, and suddenly, I wasn’t even sure where I was going.I just kept driving, gripping the wheel like it was the only thing keeping me tethered to reality.But no matter how much di
Pakin’s P.O.VI stood in front of my closet, flipping through my clothes, but my mind was far from the fabric beneath my fingertips. I had anticipated resistance, anger—maybe even another argument first thing in the morning.But not this. Not May slipping away without a word.And for some reason, that unsettled me more than anything else.Was this some kind of new tantrum? Was this another way to punish me for something that wasn’t really my fault?I pulled on a plain black shirt, tugging it over my head before grabbing a jacket. My fingers hesitated on the zipper as my thoughts spiraled.May had always been a constant in my life, but last night had made me question so much. Had I really been as blind as I felt now?I thought I’d find her all swaddled up in the guest room, nursing a hangover, but the fact that she just left… did she not want to fix things with me? Had she ever truly seen me the way I saw her—as someone she cared for, rather than just someone who was convenient to hav
Pakin’s P.O.VI woke up to a dull, persistent ache radiating from my temples, the remnants of yesterday’s exhaustion wrapping around me like a thick fog.My body felt sluggish when I rolled across the bed, as if even the act of breathing required more effort than usual.Blinking against the soft morning light seeping through my curtains, I slowly sat up, moving my shoulders to shake off the stiffness that had settled into my muscles overnight.Did I sleep in one position the entire night? Was I coming down with something?Whatever it was, I just knew it felt off. My head was heavy, my throat dry, and there was a faint, lingering pressure behind my eyes that made it clear—I wasn’t feeling my best.But whatever was going on with me had to wait.Because today…Today I had to face May. I just…had to.I exhaled sharply, rubbing a hand over my face as I let the reality of the situation sink in. Last night had been an adventure of sorts—a very, very draining one.Imagine walking into your ow
Pakin’s P.O.VI hesitated. A part of me wanted to refuse, to brush it off and deal with it later so I could just go and fucking sleep already.But another part—the part that knew I couldn’t afford to let injuries go untreated—sighed in resignation.“I’ll be fine, Miriam,” I assured her, though even I wasn’t entirely convinced of my own words. “Just an ice pack, is all.”She hesitated for a moment, like she wanted to argue. But then she just nodded, retrieving one from the freezer and wrapping it in a clean cloth.As she handed it to me, her expression remained firm, motherly concern etched into her features. “If the pain worsens, you must tell me,” she insisted. Something about the way she said it left no room for argument. “Please remember that you’re no ordinary man, but the second prince of Thailand. You mustn’t forget your status
Pakin’s P.O.VMy instincts kicked in before my thoughts could catch up. May’s terrified expression pulsed in my mind as I moved, legs propelling me across the room faster than I realized.Everything else blurred—the muted conversations, the low thr
Pakin’s P.O.VMy entire body was tense, every nerve on edge as Sean’s hand rested too familiarly on my thigh.I tried to ignore it, to will the sensation away, but when his fingers began to move, lightly squeezing the fabric of my pants, and it became im
Pakin’s P.O.VI continued to drive through the city streets with no destination in mind. It was like I was in a horror movie, and he was the evil spirit that haunted me. Distance could not keep him away, in the same way that moving houses would not help the main prot
Pakin’s P.O.VThe next day, I walked into the university with deliberate slowness, like I was a soldier heading into battle, hoping to mask the tension I felt.My body was still stiff from the night I wanted to forget, and my heart wasn’t any lighter. And even though Tew and Leon had dropped the to
