Semua Bab SOUL TANGLE: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Adam gazed at Daniel, sensing the concern etched into his friend's features. It was a familiar gesture, one that Adam had come to expect whenever he found himself tangled in the complexities of his personal life. But this time was different. This time, he couldn't bring himself to confide in Daniel and admit that he was being haunted by the ghostly presence of Ayana and her child Lyana. It was weird, but more than that, he did not deem it right to expose his feelings for Ayana that openly.The weight of their presence pressed heavily on Adam's mind, yet he couldn't bear the thought of burdening Daniel with his troubles. It wasn't just Ayana who haunted him—it was Lyana too, her innocent face a constant reminder of the tangled web of emotions swirling within him. He couldn't explain it and couldn't rationalize why their presence affected him so deeply, but he knew he couldn't share his turmoil with Daniel.Summoning a forced smile, Adam reassured Daniel with words that he didn't quite

Ayana's thoughts regarding the woman she encountered were a tumultuous blend of conflicting emotions, each stemming from different facets of the woman's demeanor and actions. At first, Ayana was struck by the woman's sympathetic nature toward the child, observing her tender gestures and comforting words. This initial impression evoked a sense of gratitude within Ayana, appreciating the woman's apparent kindness and concern for others. However, this sentiment was quickly overshadowed by other aspects of the woman's behavior that left Ayana feeling conflicted.Despite her evident empathy toward the child, Ayana couldn't ignore the woman's obliviousness to her own situation. It was as if she existed in a bubble of her own concerns, completely disregarding Ayana's presence or the struggles she might be facing. This indifference stung Ayana, prompting a sense of frustration and isolation. It highlighted a stark disconnect between their experiences, with Ayana feeling invisible and insignif

A fuming lion in the name of Adam Stone stood at the door, and he ought to have been there for a while for him to exude the rage he was exuding. Seeing Ayana in someone else's motherfucker’s arms jerked everything in him that depicted him as a man. He wanted to jump right on the strange man’s neck and strangle him to death for touching what was his. Then, the little figure on the bed abruptly summoned his not-always-active nineth sense. He knew he could not cause a commotion, but still, he could not cloak his hatred for Robby.As Adam Stone De’Leon entered the room, his presence seemed to cast a shadow over the already tense atmosphere. The air crackled with an electric charge, and Ayana could practically feel the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end as she collided head-on with the nightmare she was running away from. How cliche! How could he have followed her? And just how dare he?Her initial shock at seeing Adam was quickly overtaken by a flood of conflicting emotions—fear,

As the tension in the room reached its peak, both Adam and Robby took hesitant steps forward, their expressions a mix of desperation and determination. They pleaded with Ayana, their voices laced with emotion as they each tried to convince her of their worthiness to remain in her life."Ayana, you can’t toss me aside," Adam insisted, his tone tinged with a hint of desperation.“Yes, I can, and I am doing it. You are the last person I would ever give a chance to in this world, Adam. Go clean up your stinking personality first,” Ayana fumed, her voice filled with resoluteness.Adam hunched his head down. He had never felt so ashamed of himself before as he did at that moment.Robby's eyes softened with a mixture of sadness and longing as he echoed Adam's sentiments. "You know I will always be here for you, Ayana," he said softly, his voice filled with sincerity. "I love you, and I will do whatever it takes to make things right. Please, don't shut me out. You and Lyana need someone to be

Ayana stood frozen in the doorway, her heart pounding with confusion and uncertainty. On one side stood Robby, the man she had pushed away but still remained so adamant, and on the other side stood Adam, the ighmare that had stormed into her life and scattered everything.Her mind raced as she tried to make sense of the situation. Both men were offering her refuge, which she badly needed, but she couldn't shake the feeling of distrust that lingered in her heart. She had doubts about both of them. Their actions seemed questionable to her.“Don’t tell me you want her to come with you,” Robby scoffed at Adam.“And why not? That is her rightful place because I am supposed to be her husband by now. And you? On what grounds are you taking her? To try and win her over.” Adam fired back.“On the grounds that she does not loathe me the way she loathes you, man. And that gives me hope. I still don’t know why you are still standing here. You should be gone to your other women.” Robby said."Stop
