Semua Bab Torn between love and hate : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Broken SoulsEvelineAs soon as I woke up, I got ready and went to see John — it was finally time to have the cast removed from my hand.“Did you miss me?” I teased as I entered.John flinched at the sound of my voice and turned around sharply. He looked startled — almost frightened.“What are you doing here?”I frowned.“What do you mean, what am I doing here? You told me to come — it’s time to remove the cast. Don’t you remember?”“Oh… right,” he muttered, slapping his forehead lightly, forcing a nervous laugh.“What’s wrong?”“Nothing. Why would anything be wrong?”“John, something happened. Tell me. Are you in some kind of trouble?”“No,” he said quickly, but avoided my eyes. I stepped closer.“Look at me, John. What happened?”“Last night…” He hesitated, searching for the right words. “Last night, your husband was here. He asked about you. I’m sorry — I didn’t want to tell him, but he’s dangerous, Eveline. He’s… terrifying. I know you don’t tell him everything, but—”My breath ca

The Love That Shattered UsEvelineI haven’t seen Dante since that night. I don’t know what happened to my father or the others, or where they ended up—and honestly, I don’t care. All I know is that now I’m free, freer than I’ve ever been. I never thought this day would come so soon. I thought I’d never find peace here, but it turns out I was wrong.My days start at the university and end closing the café. I improved my grades, and I’m doing everything I can to be among the best. When I have time, I go out with Noah and the girls. Soon our university is hosting a pre-graduation party or something like that. Amelia is over the moon—she couldn’t choose just one dress for the ceremony, and now she gets to wear both. Days pass one after another. It breaks my heart a little that we’ll finish university soon, but I’m also excited to begin a new chapter of my life.“You look like Elena Gilbert right now, except instead of sitting in a cemetery, you’re writing under a school tree.”I laughed

:Where Darkness Tried to Claim Her.........After countless dance songs and too many cocktails, I finally decided to take a break. I walked toward the chairs and sat down, slipping off my heels because my feet were killing me. That’s when I noticed the blood.“Damn it…”The shoes had hurt me badly, but while I was dancing I hadn’t felt anything — probably because of the alcohol buzzing in my system. Now, though, I had no idea what to do with my foot. I took off the other shoe too and just sat there barefoot. There was nothing else I could do.“Why aren’t you wearing your shoes?”Noah sat down next to me.“I hurt my foot. The shoes were killing me.”“Shit. I’ll ask Amelia— she might have a bandage or something.”He left, and a few minutes later came back with Lily and Amelia.“Does it hurt a lot? Let me see,” Amelia said as she bent down to look at my foot.“Jesus, it’s all scraped.”“It’s fine, it doesn’t hurt.”She pulled a bandage from her bag and gently patched me up.“Don’t put y

:Just Us Eveline As soon as we got home, Dante walked through every room, checking corners as if he were looking for something. I asked what he was searching for, but he simply answered, “Nothing.” When he finally finished, he took off his jacket, placed it neatly over the sofa, and sat down. The way he stared at me made it feel like he was expecting something. “Are you planning to stand there and watch me all night, or are you going to sit?” he asked. “I wasn’t watching you.” “Are you hungry?” “No.” He picked up his phone and started typing. I slipped into the bedroom. Being around him again after all this time… it felt strange, unsettling. I pulled out comfortable clothes from the wardrobe and changed into them. Then I sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. Where is he even going to sleep? If he plans to stay here, the sofa is definitely too small. God, I don’t even know how to convince him that I’m fine. I lay down and closed my eyes, wanting to shut

Breath Between UsI was freezing, searching for a blanket that wasn’t anywhere to be found. When I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see a thing. Panicked, I scrambled to find the lamp to turn on the light, but it wasn’t there. I wasn’t in my bed—I was lying on the cold floor, where the chill was unbearable and darkness surrounded me.Suddenly, out of the darkness, my father appeared.“It’s your fault,” he growled. He looked terrifying, more than I had ever seen him. His hands gripped my neck tightly.“It’s your fault!” he shouted. I struggled against him, but his hold was too strong.Then, someone grabbed him from behind and threw him into the shadows. I gasped, barely able to breathe, my lungs burning for air. When I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked up, hoping it was Dante—but it wasn’t. I scrambled to my feet and screamed.“It’s your fault!” Liam approached, his hands reaching for my neck. He tried to touch me, to… I couldn’t stop yelling, hitting him as hard as I could. I felt powerf
