“Hey… you don’t have to leave.”

Kara froze when she felt Jairo’s hand wrap around her wrist as she turned to leave. She turned, her nervous eyes meeting his in the dim light.

He gave her a faint, bitter smile and tilted his chin toward the veranda. “Let’s just… watch the view from there.”

His tone was casual but she wasn’t blind. He was covering up the sting of her rejection. She slowly slipped her hand free from his grasp and followed him outside.

Jairo leaned against the railing, his hand r

    He was already outside when she came through the doors. He looked up when she pushed through the glass doors and something in her chest settled at the sight of him, the quiet drop of tension that came with knowing he was there.She walked toward him and he stepped out of the car and met her halfway.He took one look at her face and didn't say anything yet. He then opened the passenger door and she got in.He came around to the driver's side, started the engine, and pulled out of the parking area before he spoke."How did it happen?” he asked gently.Kara narrated what happened to him. When she finished, she looked at him nervously. “What am I going to do now? He’s trying to control my life. I should have seen this coming. But I'm not prepared for this at all.” she was on the verge of crying.Jairo glanced at her, then he sighed and rubbed her thighs."You couldn't have known," he said.She pressed her lips together and looked out the window. The city moved past in the way it always d

    The political gathering was full of important people in expensive suits, quiet conversations flowing between them. Cameras flashed from time to time, and soft music played in the background. It looked like a celebration, but for Salvatore, it was the night everything slipped from his hands.He stood among the politicians and businessmen, listening as the final announcement was made. When his name was not read out among those retaining their seats, he already knew. His seat was gone. The decision was official.People around him pretended not to stare, but he could feel their silent judgment and hidden satisfaction. Some of them had smiled at him earlier. Now those same people avoided his gaze.He sat with his expression undisturbed while the room moved around him. But inside, he was furious. The anger burned in his chest like fire. After years of power, control, and fear he had built around his name, now it was gone because of one person.His own son.A poison to his life.His jaw ti

    Alejandro drove her to school as usual. She kept looking out the window the whole time, but her mind was not on the road or the buildings they were passing. She kept thinking about the night before. Especially the way he had almost kissed her but didn’t.She didn’t understand why that moment kept replaying in her head. What annoyed her even more was his behavior this morning. He was acting completely normal, like nothing had happened. As if last night was just another normal evening.She was starting to get frustrated. How can he just act like nothing happened? she thought. Is he pretending, or did that moment mean nothing to him?The car stopped in front of the school gate.“We’re here,” he said calmly.She nodded and opened the door. “Thank you.”“Have a good day,” he offered with a smile.She looked at him for a second, like she wanted to say something, but she didn’t. She just nodded and stepped out of the car.She watched as he drove away, then she huffed, adjusting her bag on he

    She arrived at the agency as usual. She greeted a few of the girls and went straight to the assessment room where they always checked their weight and measurements at the start of the week.But the moment she stepped inside, she knew something was off. Victoria and a familiar staff were usually the one in charge of assessments, but she wasn’t there. Instead, another staff stood near the scale with a clipboard in her hand, her expression cold and unreadable.She frowned slightly but didn’t say anything. She stepped onto the scale when she was told to. The staff looked at the number, then wrote something down.“You gained one kilogram over the weekend,” she said sharply.Kara blinked in surprise. “One kilogram?”The staff looked at her like she had committed a serious crime. “As if you don't know how you ate over the weekend. This is the second assessment period and you're already struggling with discipline.”She was confused. She hadn't even had breakfast yet. “I followed my diet…”“Cl

    Emilia was already awake as Kara stepped out of the closet. She was sitting up in bed, her back against the headboard, hands resting in her lap. She looked tired but present, which was better than yesterday.“Hey, morning gorgeous,” Kara greeted with enthusiasm.“Morning.” she replied slowly, wanting to reach for the glance of water but Kara had immediately stepped forward and helped her with it."How do you feel?" she asked.Emilia drank the whole water before dropping the cup on the nightstand.“I feel sore.” she replied, “Mostly in my head. Like I cried for long.”"You were shaking more than crying," Kara said gently. She opened the medication, tipped the tablets into her palm, and held them out. Emilia took them without argument and washed them down with the water."Kara.""Hm?""When are we going to meet our family?” she kept her eyes on her hands. She doesn't understand where that feeling was coming from. She wishes to meet them and she can't ignore that feeling.Kara looked at

    Luci sat on her desk, working on her school assignments. The house had gone quiet, and her mind kept replaying what happened downstairs with Emilia. The fear on her face, and the sound of it. It had shaken her more than she wanted to admit.She sighed, trying to focus back on her assignments when Ann called her. She answered before the second ring, standing up and going to lay on the bed. The call was about Ann leaving soon, they both expressed themselves before the call ended with Luci feeling sad. She closed her eyes briefly, her arms stretched out with the phone screen on. She kept thinking about how many things were changing around her.Just then, there was a knock on her door. She remained there for a second longer before pushing herself up sluggishly and went to open the door.Alejandro stood there. Her heart skipped. Her brows shot up in surprise, covering up her expression.“It's late. What are you…” she began, but before she could continue, he gently placed a finger on her

    Kara had just stepped out of the hospital, heading toward the parking lot, when she froze. A familiar woman stood ahead, and the moment their eyes met, the woman’s expression soured with a deep scowl. Kara’s heart dropped. Of all people she hoped she wouldn’t run into today, why should it be this w

    Jairo stared at Annabelle with disbelief, his hands gripping her shoulders as he jerked her closer. His voice shook with panic and anger. “What… what are you talking about? What the hell happened when I was away?” he half-yelled, his voice breaking as Annabelle wept uncontrollably. “I-I don’t kno
