3rd P.O.V.As Beatrix sat at the bar, Harley and Charis joined her, each taking a seat on either side of her. Harley slid her a drink, and Charis gave her a sympathetic smile.Harley spoke first. "So, what's going on with you and Apollo? I saw him storm out of here earlier."Beatrix sighed. "He's so closed off, Harley. I don't know what to do. Every time I try to get closer to him, he pushes me away."Charis chimed in. "Maybe he's just not ready yet. You have to be patient."Beatrix shook her head. "I don't know if I can be patient anymore. I want to be with him, but I don't want to keep waiting around for him to change his mind."Harley frowned. "But what about your brother? Isn't he your top priority right now?"Beatrix's face fell. "Of course he is. But that doesn't mean I can't have a life too."Charis nodded. "You're not being selfish, Beatrix. You deserve to be happy too."Beatrix took a sip of her drink and sighed again. "I just don't know if it's worth it. All this stress and

3rd P.O.V.Harley walked Beatrix to her apartment, both of them in comfortable silence. Beatrix was lost in thought, thinking about her brother's condition and the mounting medical bills. As Harley dropped Beatrix off at Apollo's place, Seb, Harold, and Michael happened to be walking by. They immediately recognized Beatrix and wondered what she was doing there with Harley."Hey, Beatrix, what are you doing here with Harley?" Seb asked curiously.Beatrix sighed, not in the mood to explain her complicated relationship with Apollo. "It's none of your business, Seb," she said curtly.Harold stepped in to diffuse the tension. "Come on, Beatrix. Let's go inside and catch up. It's been a while," he said, gesturing towards Apollo's house.Beatrix hesitated, not sure if she wanted to get involved with Apollo's friends. But she didn't want to be rude, so she reluctantly followed Harold inside.Once they got inside, Harold, Seb, and Michael realized that Apollo's apartment was empty. Harold sug

3rd P.O.V.Beatrix said her goodbyes to her friends, Charis and Harley, then she decided to go to the hospital where Andrei was admitted. As far as she remember, Jade was there the last time she visited.Beatrix arrived at the hospital with Jade by her side. Andrei was lying in bed, his eyes closed, and his breathing shallow. Beatrix was relieved to see him awake, but she noticed something was off. Andrei's blood pressure suddenly increased, and he started to have a seizure.Beatrix called for the nurse, who quickly came in and administered medication to stop the seizure. The nurse then informed Beatrix that Andrei's sudden emotional outburst triggered the seizure.Beatrix immediately thought it was because of Jade. She turned to Jade and told her, "Jade, you have to calm down when you talk to Andrei. Your excitement is overwhelming him, and it's not good for his health."Jade looked at Andrei with tears in her eyes and hugged him tightly. "I'm so sorry, Andrei. I didn't know I was h

3rd P.O.V.Beatrix and Apollo went back to the club, while Apolo is assisting Beatrix, hugging her. Apollo and Beatrix were standing in the corner of the club, the latter still wrapped in a tablecloth, while the former tried to comfort her. Suddenly, Harley stormed in, his eyes fixated on Apollo."What the hell is going on here?" Harley growled, his fists clenched at his sides.Apollo shot him a cold glare. "This is none of your business, Harley."Aileen appeared too, pushing Beatrix away from Apollo. “Stop this, Apollo! You know what are we! Why are you hanging out with a bitch?!”Harley took a step forward. "It is when Beatrix is involved, I'm part of the business. Also, this bitch beside you, silence her, or I will hurt her."Beatrix sniffled, wiping away her tears. "Guys, please stop fighting."But Apollo and Harley were already facing off, their tempers flaring. Harley threw the first punch, but Apollo easily dodged it, retaliating with a hit to the gut. Harley stumbled back, g

3rd P.O.V.Early in the morning when the sun was shining bright striking Jade’s eyes who were still sleeping on the sofa placed inside Andrei’s room in the hospital.Jade was half-awake, trying to examine everything that was happening inside Andrei’s room. She found herself in a noisy environment and was forced to wake up in full. Jade tried to sit while she was remembering the last thing that she remember with Andrei. They were alone inside Andrei's room and they had a lot of things to talk about.As for Jade, it was one of the most memorable nights in her life. She was awakened by the sound of the loudest apparatus placed at the side of Andrei’s bed.There were a lot of doctors and nurses that are checking Andrei, especially his vital signs. Andrei was having a seizure and it lasted so long.When Jade saw Andrei in this state, she immediately squeezed herself in to see Andrei closer.This was a piece of shocking news for Jade because last night she just had a conversation with A
