Verania’s Point of ViewI was about to quicken my pace through the hospital's corridor when I abruptly halted, my gaze fixing on Ares. He was strolling casually, a basket in one hand, its contents seemingly a collection of fruits.Here he was again, at the hospital. What could be the reason for his presence now?My heart quickened its rhythm as our eyes met, and a surge of emotions threatened to overwhelm me. Earlier, I had wanted to initiate a conversation, but now, with him standing right in front of me, I found myself wishing to dissolve into the ground. It was puzzling why my demeanor had shifted so drastically from what I had intended.I involuntarily blinked in surprise as I noticed Clara beside him. So, they were together...A thought occurred to me: were they the only ones who had come here? Did they not have any bodyguards or companions accompanying them? What if something befell Ares again?Pushing aside the rising sense of embarrassment within me, I gathered my courage and

Verania’s Point of View"Yes, perhaps being with you makes him happy at the moment, but knowing how you feel, his happiness won't be enough."Why do his words struck like knives in my chest? Why do I feel heaviness in my heart?I keep stating I do not love Ares, but why am I feeling like this?"Can I ask you something?"I seized the opportunity to ask when I sensed the calmness in the atmosphere."Go on," she replied and it felt like a cold breeze passed through my skin, and she spoke like she doesn't care how wet my face was with tears."May I know why you hate me so much?" I summoned all my strength just to ask that question."Wow, you really want to know? Okay, no worries, I'll tell you why," she paused and took a sip from her glass."It's because I saw how my brother falls in love with you," she continued, furrowing my brow in confusion."If that's your reason, how do you explain the things that used to anger you about me? If I'm not mistaken, Ares only started liking me recently

Verania’s Point of View"We'll sit at the other table on the terrace," Ma'am Charlotte said softly as she approached me, prompting me to follow her as if I were not a remote-controlled robot.As I sat down, I closed my eyes tightly, positioning myself where I could clearly see how Bernice's arm wrapped around Ares.Why did I plan this? I could've moved it, couldn't I? Why did I choose this day? It's annoying; I'm not satisfied with what's happening around me, I feel suffocated even though there's no reason to."How was your suspension?" I almost jumped when I heard Ma'am Charlotte's gentle voice.I didn't expect her to start with that topic. Actually, I was waiting for her to get mad and blame me because Ares almost got into trouble again."It's fine, but somewhat sad," I replied.She nodded slowly and looked down."I was actually mad at you yesterday, but when I heard Victorino's explanation, your captain, I was able to forgive you," I blinked at her words.What did Captain say to Ma

Verania’s Point of View"But, you're the one who will decide your fate, whether you end up with nothing or you get what you want. That's just how it is, nothing will be lost if you speak up. Sometimes you really need to take a risk because, in time, you might end up with regrets. Because sometimes we think we don't deserve it but it's actually meant for us, remove that self-doubt. And also, it's just between taking the risk or losing the chance. At least you've told them," she said in a new litany, causing me to bite my lip in agreement."And besides, we're sometimes given a choice, it's just that life is sometimes unfair, but that's how it is, the world is unfair, so why not risk for your own happiness, right? Even if it doesn't end well, at least you'll be happy. But still, if being with you puts their life in danger..." she paused and looked elsewhere.I followed her gaze and noticed Ares approaching from the path where Alder and I were standing."If it really puts their life in da

Verania’s Point of View "I have fallen in love with someone who loves me too. I want to tell him how I love him, I want to let him know but I can't. Because if I confess my feelings to him, he might be put in danger. My life is full of danger, and I don't want to drag him into it. So I am thinking, should I just wait for the right time to reveal everything itself or should I be risky?" I swallowed hard after saying that to her. She fell silent, seemingly pondering her response, so I waited patiently for her answer. "I am too young and I do not know if my answer would be able to help you," she said, taking a deep breath. "I don't mind, I just want to hear your side."
