"He came to apologize," Lia said, her voice steady as she tried to cut through the tension raising around them.

"And he thinks a single apology is enough to make everything right?" Tyler shot back, his fury bubbling to the surface. He clenched his fists, trying to withdraw the anger that was clearly building inside him.

"Look, Tyler," Asher interjected, stepping in front of Tyler. "Whatever issues you have with me, take it up with me directly. Don’t drag Lia into this." His tone was firm, but there was an undertone of pleading, as if he sensed the fallout of their conflict could spill over into more than just words.

"I don’t get it. Is this personal?" Lia's brow furrowed as she glanced between the two of them, concern etched on her face. "Because it sure feels that way." Her gaze darted back to Asher, seeking some clarity amidst the chaos.

"Do you really think you just show up, apologize, and think that erases everything you've done?" Tyler’s voice dripped with sarcasm as he directed

  • When The Sky Falls   Chapter 54: Another Chance

    They sat on the rooftop in silence, the cool breeze brushing against their skin as they gazed down at the school grounds below. The world felt strangely distant from up there, smaller, quieter. Almost like it paused just for them.“I am sorry, that you have to have a father like Adrian,” Lia finally managed to say. Her voice was soft, weighed with sympathy and guilt she knew she didn’t owe but still felt.“There is nothing to be sorry about, it’s not your fault...” Tyler replied, shaking his head as he leaned back against the railing. “Besides, I have already gotten used to it. I shouldn’t expect anything different.” His words held no anger, just resignation, the kind that came from years of disappointment.“Why didn’t you tell me about the deal? You knew I would have understood,” Lia said, turning toward him with hurt lingering in her eyes.“I know, and I am sorry.” Tyler’s voice dropped lower, his expression tightening as if the truth pained him. “I should have told you, but… I gues

    “Mum?” Lia’s voice came out small, almost like a child’s, half question, half fear. “…is everything okay?” She stepped further into the room, her heartbeat thudding in her ears.Stacey turned just enough for their eyes to meet, and in that single look, Lia felt her stomach twist. Something was wrong. Very wrong.Before she could speak again, the door opened. Tyler and Asher walked in, both stopping dead the moment they saw who was present. Shock flashed across their faces, mirroring Lia’s own confusion.“What’s going on?” Asher asked, his brows drawn tight, eyes bouncing between Stacey and Adrian.Principal Gabriel rose from his chair with a soft sigh. “I’ll give you all some privacy.” His voice was gentle, like he already knew the storm that was about to unfold. He stepped out.“Thank you, Gabriel,” Stacey said quietly.Silence followed, it was thick and suffocating.“What are we doing here?” Tyler finally snapped, his jaw clenched tight. He looked like every fiber of his being rejec

  • When The Sky Falls   Chapter 52: The Reason

    Lia sat across from Tyler’s mum, Miss Laura at a small table tucked between two tall bookshelves in the quiet bookstore. The place smelled faintly of old pages and cinnamon tea, and the morning light filtered gently through the front windows. Laura looked healthier than the last time Lia had seen her, almost glowing with regained strength.“Hey, Miss Laura,” Lia greeted softly.“Please, just call me Laura,” she replied with a gentle smile.Lia nodded, returning the smile. “How’s your health? I can see you’re a lot better now.”“Yes, dear. I can’t remember the last time I felt this healthy…” Laura sighed, a weight shifting in her voice. “…and that brings us to why we’re here.”Lia straightened slightly, her stomach tightening. “What do you mean? What deal did Tyler take?” She leaned in without realizing it, completely captured by the seriousness in Laura’s tone.Laura’s eyes drifted to her hands as she folded them together. “While I was in the hospital, the medical bills kept going up,

    Stacey was already fast asleep on the sofa when Lia quietly entered the house. The lights were off except for the warm glow of the hallway lamp. Lia tip-toed upstairs, wanting nothing more than to collapse into bed.But the moment she pushed her bedroom door open, the lights flicked on.“Who is he?”Lia nearly jumped out of her skin.Trudy stood in the middle of the room with her arms crossed, looking like a furious mother catching her daughter sneaking in after curfew.“Fuck! You scared me!” Lia exhaled sharply, clutching her chest.“I tried calling you,” Trudy said, eyes narrowed. “Only to find out you were out with some guy you haven’t told me about.”“My battery died! And Damien is just a friend,” Lia defended, dropping her bag.“Ohhh, Damien Salvator,” Ava chimed in through the phone. They had her on video call, and she and Trudy had clearly seen everything through the window.“The name suits him. My man is hot,” Ava added with a dramatic smirk.“Oh my God...Ava, not you too,” Li

  • When The Sky Falls   Chapter 50: A Heartwarming Company

    Lia sat hunched over her laptop, the glow of the screen reflecting in her tired eyes. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, stuck on the same sentence she’d rewritten at least a dozen times. She was supposed to be working on her scholarship essay, but her thoughts were miles away.“Girl, you have been rewriting that single sentence for the past ten minutes,” Trudy said from across the room, snapping Lia out of her daze. She had been lounging on the bed but now peered over with raised brows. Ever since Asher told her about Adrian, Lia hadn't been able to focus on anything. Her mind kept circling the same terrifying possibility.“Sorry… I just need a break,” Lia muttered, grabbing the glass beside her and gulping down the water as if it could wash away her anxiety.Trudy sat up a little straighter, concern settling on her face. “Something is obviously bothering you. Do you want to talk about it?”“It’s just…” Lia hesitated, twisting her fingers together. “I don’t know what to do.”“Wha

    The next morning, the moment Lia stepped into school, she didn’t hesitate, not even for a breath. She spotted Tyler at his locker and marched straight toward him, anger burning in every step. Before he even noticed her approach, she shoved his locker door shut with a loud metallic bang.“Stalking my mum! You really got some balls, Tyler,” she snapped, her voice sharp and shaking with fury.“What!?” Tyler jerked back, startled by both the sound and her tone.“Don’t look at me like you don’t know what I’m talking about,” Lia hissed, taking a step closer.Tyler blinked, confusion clear on his face. “I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.”“You’ve been sending her messages,” Lia whispered harshly, mindful of people walking by. “Trying to convince her not to marry Adrian.”“I swear, you’ve got the wrong person.” Tyler held his hands up slightly, baffled. “Stalking your mum? That’s a bit extreme, don’t you think?”“You should know,” Lia shot back bitterly.“Look, Lia…” Tyler softe
