"It’s beautiful. I’m always amazed at how the darkness provides such magnificent scenery," I whispered.

Nate and I lay on the hood of his car, gazing at the mesmerising night sky. The sky was crystal clear, dotted with billions of stars, while the moon shone brightly. A cold breeze swept over us, but despite the chill, the peaceful silence brought warmth to my heart.

After school, Nate had driven us to the far end of the city, where nature remained untouched. We park

  • When the Stars Went Dark   Chapter 26: The Past Repeats

    ROSELYN’S POV“Let’s just separate, alright? I am exhausted from all these stupid fights. I can no longer tolerate you meddling in my life, Rosie. Our marriage was never right from the start. You already got what you needed from me. I love Olivia, and I want to be with her.”Nate’s words echoed the very same ones my mother had uttered when she left my father.They pierced through my heart and soul, deeper than before. In that moment, I could vividly imagine the pain my father must have felt back then.“Nate, is that really what you want? A separation?” My voice trembled as I took a step closer, my eyes pleading with him.“Do you love her that much that you could leave me? I know we started on the wrong foot, but we fell in love. Please don’t do this. I love you, Nate.” I reached for him, wrapping my arms around him in a desperate embrace before whispering, “If you ca

  • When the Stars Went Dark   Chapter 25: Surprises And Dreams

    ROSELYN’S POVI gazed at my reflection in the mirror, barely recognising the girl staring back at me.Dressed in a stunning yellow-green, heart-shaped sleeveless gown that hugged my waist with a slim, diamond-like sequined belt, I looked nothing like my usual self. The hem of my gown shimmered with matching embellishments, and on my feet were delicate glass-like shoes, making me feel like Cinderella stepping out of a fairy tale. My hair, styled in elegant waves, had strands pinned back with a floral-adorned clip."You look beautiful, darling," Aunt Clarisse said warmly.I smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She looked breathtaking in a maroon lace long-sleeve gown, her high stilettos adding to her elegance. She had taken it upon herself to dress me up, and I let her, appreciating the effort everyone had put into surprising me."Are you girls ready? The party is about to start," my uncle called as he stepped into the room.

  • When the Stars Went Dark   Chapter 24: Never Been Brighter

    ROSELYN’S POVI was jolted awake when my phone buzzed loudly on the bedside table, far too harsh for my liking.Sunlight poured through the open curtains, hitting my eyes, and a dull headache rushed through my head from the sudden wake-up. Groaning in irritation, I realised I hadn’t gotten a good night’s sleep, thanks to staying up late watching movies with Nate.Without bothering to check the caller ID, I grabbed my phone.“Hello?” My voice came out husky, still thick with sleep, making it obvious I had just woken up.“Rosie! You need to come home fast! I don’t know what to do—Dad’s not feeling well, and... please, just come, Rosie!” Athan’s panicked voice rang through the phone—a rare sound from him.My heart lurched, a mix of fear, panic, sadness, and pain rushing through me. I couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to them—they w

  • When the Stars Went Dark   Chapter 23: Gap Between Us

    ROSIE’S POVIt had been a month since I asked Nate for space. The sweetness we once shared dissolved that day, leaving only a quiet distance between us. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt, but I knew I did the right thing. He’s torn between Olivia and me, yet I didn’t think he truly understood the meaning of love.He was so consumed by his love for Olivia that he treated me unfairly before. But that night, I realised something—he wasn’t truly in love with her, nor with me. He’s in love with the idea of falling in love. He only saw what he wanted to see—the good in people, the obligations that come with a relationship, and the labels that define it.As Olivia’s boyfriend, he’s always been sweet and protective, trusting her words without question. And as my fiancé, he’s been almost the same. If you look at it from a distance, he might just be acting

    "It’s beautiful. I’m always amazed at how the darkness provides such magnificent scenery," I whispered.Nate and I lay on the hood of his car, gazing at the mesmerising night sky. The sky was crystal clear, dotted with billions of stars, while the moon shone brightly. A cold breeze swept over us, but despite the chill, the peaceful silence brought warmth to my heart.After school, Nate had driven us to the far end of the city, where nature remained untouched. We parked near a cliff, surrounded by trees, with the distant city lights twinkling below. He had asked to talk, but neither of us wanted to break the quiet moment. We savoured the stillness, knowing that once we spoke, everything might change.“Yeah, it’s mesmerising. Just like you,” he murmured.I swallowed hard, unable to respond. He wasn’t even looking at the stars—his gaze was on me.“About what happened yesterday…” he began hes

  • When the Stars Went Dark   Chapter 21: A Fresh Blood

    ROSELYN’S POV"You look kind of disoriented. You alright?"I was beyond surprised when a chubby brunette girl plopped down beside me on the grass and actually started a conversation. No one ever talked to me at school casually—unless it was about academics.Today was P.E., but due to my recent injury and the fact that I just returned to school, our teacher instructed me to sit out and observe. I looked at the girl in front of me, trying to figure out why she was talking to me."Oh! I’m sorry! I’m Lynzel Ronalds, but you can call me Lyn for short. You’re Rosie, right? Nathan’s fiancée? I’m a friend of his—well, technically, because I’m dating his friend, Xavier." She held out her hand while giving a long introduction, which I actually found amusing. I remembered her name. Nate mentioned her when he brought me to the clinic."Oh, hi. Yeah, I heard you were the one who infor
