KALMIA’S POV My tears broke free because I couldn't keep them inside anymore. My shoulders trembled from the heaviness of farewell while tears flowed without restraint. The gentle crying of my daughter—my Dawn—filled the expansive hallway with sounds akin to the last notes of an unwanted song. But Arrow, my husband, remained unmoved. He didn’t look at me. He rapidly flicked his fingers to direct the security guards’ attention who stood near the corridor. The expression on his face did not move a muscle while his gaze held a frigid intensity that exceeded the cold morning air entering through the door. His voice sliced through the atmosphere sharply as he declared "Enough of this.” “Stop playing emotions here. It’s done.” “Arrow, please,” I managed to whisper while my voice broke from unspoken words. “She’s our daughter. Let me say goodbye properly—please.” He didn’t look at me. He quickly snapped his fingers to get the attention of the security guards who were standing ne

KALMIA’S POV Jade noticed my hidden turmoil when she straightened her posture and her eyes twinkled with mischief. “You know what?” I looked at her, confused. “What?” She proposed we go to a party saying it with such energy that she seemed convinced it could help me break free from my current sorrow. “It’ll be fun! Just for a little while. You deserve it.” The thought of going to that party filled me with utter anxiety. I didn't want to celebrate. I didn't want people." Finding a quiet nook from where I could unwind in peace, Puntha became my instant goal. "No, please," I continued to protest, shaking my head. "I just don't think I can. I'm just not in the mood right now, Jade.” I just need some time to breathe.” But Jade was relentless. She started talking before I had a chance to put my thoughts together. She stood up from the couch displaying a playful yet determined grin before I could protest again. She gave me a wink of her eye, teasing me, saying, "Too bad, babe,"

KALMIA’S POV "Wow," I breathed, taking it all in. "This place is incredible." An older woman whose fingers were covered in paint colors came toward us while displaying a friendly smile. "First time here? I'm Marion, one of the co-owners. Please explore at your leisure and reach out if you have any inquiries. Jade said "My friend here wants to dive deeper into fashion design." Her modeling experience has inspired her to explore new creative fields. Marion's eyes lit up with interest. "How wonderful! Modeling provides you with essential understanding about the way garments behave on a person's body. Do you want to pursue formal education or explore fashion design through practical experience? I felt suddenly nervous but excited. "Honestly, I'm not sure. My passion for fashion remains strong although I have never attempted to design anything before. How about I take you on a proper tour of space? Marion gestured toward the workspace area. The educational program integrates weekend

ARROW’S POV The upcoming days passed slowly while I remained in a foggy state. Dawn remained my sole anchor to reality just like it always did. I'd wake up every morning to prepare breakfast and create the appearance of a composed father while internally feeling like I was falling apart. The burden of my actions towards Kalmia became too heavy for me to bear. Each day, it became clearer: without her, my life was incomplete. But that wasn’t the worst part. The devastating realization hit me that my attempts wouldn't make things better. A week had passed since I saw her face and heard her voice yet every text message and phone call to reach her resulted in no response. I couldn’t blame her. But still, it ate at me. My efforts were focused on maintaining smooth business operations. But something was missing. A gap. A hole no one could fill. During Kalmia’s absence I brought in new staff members to take charge of leading the team. The replacements had the experience and motivation nece

KALMIA’S POV I forcefully closed my eyes to convince myself that I could alter my decision. But that was the problem, wasn’t it? I was changing my mind. The pain of the past was an old ghost now, but so was the love. So was the man I had loved with my entire being. I swallowed, and opened my eyes. “I don’t know if I can just go back, Arrow,” I said quietly, unsure. “But I’ll try… for us. For our family.” “I’m willing to try…” I had said. But the moment he stepped closer, my entire body clenched. Like I’d been shot. Hit in that same old place. An old, old wound that hadn’t healed, not even close. I looked into his eyes and saw the man I had loved, the man who had been my entire world. But I also saw the man who had cut me open. Smiled down at me as I bled. The man who had humiliated me. Crushed me. And suddenly, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. “No,” I said, stepping back, harshly. My tender tone disappeared and memories rushed back with intense force. “No, I can’t do this. I
