Kara pushed the door open and stepped into the apartment, holding it open for Jairo. He followed, tall and composed, but somehow his presence seemed too large for the tiny space. His eyes scanned the room — simple, a little cramped, but clean. Exactly what he expected.

She deserves so much more, he thought.

His eyes paused on a pair of men’s slippers by the door. His gaze shifted to Kara with a questioning look. She followed his line of sight and quickly spoke.

“Oh… those… my roommate bought them for her ex. He used to come around. They’re not together anymore. We just kept them there for when we have male guests.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she cringed internally. Why am I explaining this?

Jairo, however, only picked up on two words.

“Do you have male friends, Kara?” His tone had a sudden edge to it; harder than he meant.

In that split second, he was already doubting the background report Donald gave him, the one that said she was single.

Kara blinked at the way he

    “So,” she glanced around, “first big party. Thoughts?”“Too loud. Too crowded. But… interesting.” he replied honestly.“Interesting is polite for chaos.”“Exactly.”Miguel returned then, holding two drinks. He handed one to Luci with a small smile. “You disappeared.”“Five seconds.”Edward’s eyes flicked to the cup in her hand. “You drink?”She looked at the cup like it had personally offended her. “Not really.”Miguel raised a brow. “Not really?”She shot him a look. “Okay. Once.”Edward leaned in slightly. “Once?”She lowered her voice like she was sharing classified information. “My uncle confiscated my phone for two months. I was miserable so I drank out of spite.”Edward winced. “That’s rough.”“It was in secret though,” she added. Edward laughed, genuinely this time. “Nothing stays secret in my family.”“Protective?”“Very. They know when I breathe differently.”“Wow, they are really protective.” Luci muttered, even though she knows what it feels like. It's usually suffocating

    Kara went straight to her room and dropped onto the bed, lying flat as she stared at the ceiling. Jairo’s words kept replaying in her head, looping no matter how hard she tried to push them away. She told herself they didn’t bother her but that was a lie she didn’t fully believe. Still, she clung to the promise that he would never leave her. Not even if the real Emilia returned. She was still lost in thought when her phone rang. Without checking the caller ID, she answered.“Yes?”“Your boyfriend’s ex found me.”Her eyes flew open. She pulled the phone away from her ear and stared at the screen, her heart skipping a beat before she put it back.“Lina?” she asked carefully.“Yeah. It’s me.”“I have been expecting your call. You disabled your other line and I kept wondering if you would even think I was worth calling.”Silence followed and she frowned slightly, sensing the weight behind it.“Eloise Webster found me,” Lina said instead, ignoring her whining, “I don’t know what kind of r

    “So that’s all,” Luci said, giggling as she finished her narration.Kara stayed quiet, her face blank. She didn’t know who Edward Jones was and she didn’t want to interrupt or ask the wrong question. She was simply listening as she observed the way Luci’s eyes shone with excitement.“You did great,” Jairo finally said, clearly pleased. He reached out and rubbed her hair and her smile widened instantly at the praise. “How was school today?”“It was great,” she replied eagerly. “I really worked hard to get that information with the help of that guy you saw with me.”His expression shifted slightly. “What’s his name?”“Miguel Callaway.”He nodded once, filing the name away in his mind. “Okay. About the party, you’re free to attend but Andro will pick you up by ten p.m. No sleeping over.”Luci nodded quickly, clearly satisfied with that arrangement. Without wasting another second, she turned and skipped out of the room, her energy bright and carefree.Jairo watched her go, a small smile l

    Kara got home just before evening fully settled in. She didn’t linger downstairs or greet anyone longer than necessary. She went straight to her room, changed out of her clothes, washed her face, and took a steady breath like she was bracing herself for something important. Once she felt a little calmer, she stepped back into the hallway and headed for Jairo’s room.She was sure he would be home by now.She knocked lightly at his door. There was no response but she knew him well enough to guess what that silence meant. Carefully, she pushed the door open just a bit and peeked inside. Jairo was stretched on the bed with his laptop balanced on his thighs, his attention fully locked on the screen. That alone told her he was busy.“I can come back,” she said softly, already preparing to retreat.“You’re here already,” he muttered without lifting his eyes.She pressed her lips together, the card in her hand feeling heavier than it should have. She walked farther into the room and sat very

    Eva sat on the edge of the bed, a book resting on her thighs. Her fingers held the pages open but she hadn’t read a word for minutes. Her mind was elsewhere.A soft knock came at the door and she stiffened out of habit. When a lighter, hesitant knock followed, her body relaxed slightly. She knew that knock.The door opened and Kaicus stepped inside, carrying a tray. Relief washed over her, loosening the tightness in her chest.“Hi,” she said, a small smile slipping out before she realized it. Kaicus returned it and the familiar exchange played out between them.His eyes lingered briefly on her throat, ensuring she had swallowed her pills before offering the candy as usual. As soon as the door clicked shut behind him, she bolted upright and rushed to the bathroom. She shoved her fingers deep down her throat, gagging hard enough to force herself to vomit the pills.She stared down at the pills in the sink, breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling. Since the last time she threw up

    The building was already buzzing when Kara arrived. She stopped just outside the entrance, her fingers tightened around the strap of her bag as she took everything in. Her heart was beating too fast and for a moment, she wondered if she had made a mistake coming here.Then she stepped inside.Her eyes scanned the room without meaning to, landing on girls who were clearly taller than her, slimmer, more polished. Their faces were flawless. Their posture screamed experience.A familiar knot formed in her chest. She exhaled slowly, forcing herself to keep walking.“Kara.”She turned sharply at the voice just to see Leo was standing a few steps away.“Oh my God, Leo!” she exclaimed over the loud noise around them, walking straight into his arms.“It feels like it's been months,” he said softly near her ear.“I know, right,” she replied, her voice slightly shaky.When they pulled apart, he looked at her properly, his eyes sweeping over her face then down to her outfit. He nodded in approval
