Aurora sat in the taxi, staring out the window with a blank expression. The city lights flashing by outside the car offered nothing more than a blurred reflection of her chaotic emotions. Her heart felt heavy, as if the world had collapsed the moment she saw Edgar with that woman and child at the hospital. With each passing second, more and more questions echoed in her mind, yet none came with answers that could bring her peace.

Her right hand reached into her bag, searching for her phone, looking for any messages from Kevin. Her hand paused for a moment, then hesitantly typed a short message:

[Sorry, I had to go. Something came up.]

The message sent, but as the screen went blank again, Aurora felt a knot tightening in her chest. A wave of unease rose within her, but she couldn't bring herself to share everything with Kevin. She didn't want to burden him with problems that might not even make sense to him. How could she explain everything about her father, about what she had just witn

    Rafael looked at Aurora, then Valery, then back at Aurora. "This... isn't what you think..."Aurora stared intently, her tone cold. "It seems like I've been thinking too much since earlier."Tension hung in the air, no less intense than the morning sun streaming through the window.Valery smiled sweetly, as if nothing had happened. She folded her arms across her chest and walked casually toward Aurora. "Wow, I didn't expect you two to be this far along," Valery said, her voice smooth. "Romantic, too." Aurora clenched her fists at her sides. "Get out," she hissed sharply. "How did you get in here?"Valery shrugged. "The door was half-open. I thought it would be rude not to check on the situation when I heard movement inside. I thought Rafael was having trouble," she then looked at Rafael from head to toe with a crooked smile. "Turns out I was right. I guess I came at the right time. Maybe... to help release?"Rafael, who was now sitting on the edge of t

    The morning sky slowly opened its curtains, emitting an orange light that touched the treetops and the calm surface of the sea. The air was still cool, leaving dew on the leaves and slightly damp sand. Aurora walked slowly along the shore, letting her feet sink slightly into the warm sand that was beginning to be touched by the sun's rays. Her hands were folded in front of her body, her steps slow, as if she were calming her thoughts.She stopped when she found a comfortable spot to stand. Her gaze fixed on the eastern horizon, where the sun slowly emerged from behind the horizon, casting a golden hue over the sea. The sea breeze gently caressed her hair, and in silence, Aurora took a deep breath.Footsteps approached from behind. Aurora turned slowly and found Kevin standing a few meters away. He was wearing a thin hoodie and casual pants, his hair disheveled as if he had just woken up."Why are you walking alone so early in the morning?" Kevin asked lightly, walking closer.Aurora n

    The bonfire was still burning, flickering as if it wanted to dance along with the song that had just ended. Aurora and Kevin were still standing near the microphone, their smiles lingering as applause filled the air. But at the edge of the fire, someone suddenly stood up.Rafael.With a sudden motion, he threw his crutch into the sand. A few people fell silent. The previously relaxed faces started turning, watching Rafael's slow, limping movements as he made his way toward the microphone Kevin had just left, full of determination."Rafael-" Aurora almost stepped forward but froze at Rafael's glance, which silently begged, "let me."One step. Two steps. Rafael let out a low groan, his sprained leg clearly not healed. But he kept going, even as his shoulders trembled slightly from the strain. Everyone fell silent now, watching the dramatic moment like the climax scene of a romantic movie.Once he reached the microphone, Rafael took a deep breath and lifted his head

    Night fell gently, bringing with it a gentle sea breeze and the scent of burning wood from the large bonfire in the middle of the dining area. Hanging lamps swayed gently among the trees, creating a dim light that made the atmosphere feel warm and relaxed. Acoustic music flowed from the corner of the small stage, filling the air with soothing rhythms.Some employees began to gather around the bonfire. Some sat in a circle, laughing as they held roasted corn. Others danced on the sand, singing along to the music being played. The atmosphere felt carefree, as if all the burdens of work and the pressures of routine had melted away in the warmth of the night.Aurora stood near the villa window, watching the crowd from afar. Her ears picked up the sound of singing and familiar laughter."Come on, let's go over there," she said, turning to Rafael, who was sitting on the sofa with his left leg in a white cast and a cane by his side.Rafael looked up, his hazel eyes half-lazy. "I'm good here.

    Kevin finally turned his head, staring at Valery in surprise, but also amused. "Are you serious?"Valery shrugged as if it were no big deal. "Serious. But after seeing them earlier, I realized... it seems difficult."She leaned slightly toward Kevin, her voice lowering to a soft but sharp tone. "Unless... you want to work with me."Kevin narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?""Keep those two apart," Valery said lightly, as if she were just suggesting a new game. "Aurora and Rafael. You want Aurora, right? I want Rafael. But as long as they stay together, we'll just be spectators."Kevin shook his head slightly, scoffing. "You talk as if they can just be separated like that."Valery turned to him, her smile turning sly. "Every relationship has its flaws. We just need to find their weak points. They're dating secretly, Rafael is the boss, Aurora is the subordinate. There are plenty of opportunities to make them look unprofessional."Kevin fell silent, breathing heavily. His eyes returne

    The cheers grew louder.Aurora handed the baton to the third runner with precision, then stopped at the side of the track, her chest rising and falling rapidly, but a satisfied smile adorned her face. She turned to Rafael, who was standing a few meters ahead, still waiting for his turn.Their eyes met for a moment. No words were spoken, only enthusiastic glances.When the baton reached the fourth runner and was finally handed to the last runner, all eyes were on two people: Rafael and Kevin. They stood side by side, baton in hand, breathing heavily, legs slightly bent, ready to charge.No words were spoken, no glances exchanged.The whistle signaling the start for the final runner had not yet sounded, but the tension was already palpable.As soon as the signal was given, Rafael and Kevin sprinted off together. Sand flew again, footprints imprinted quickly. Rafael was slightly behind at first, but his body began to balance his stride. Kevin, who had lost three times in previous games,
