Tara’s POVI woke up early on Saturday morning, earlier than I normally would on a weekend. The sunlight was just starting to filter through my curtains, painting soft golden streaks across my bedroom walls. For a moment, I just lay there staring at the ceiling, mentally preparing myself for the emotionally intense day ahead.Visiting Tony. Then Sarah with Jasper. And finally, meeting Jake in the evening.It was going to be exhausting, but I was determined to be there for everyone who needed me.I dragged myself out of bed and headed downstairs, where I found my mom already in the kitchen making breakfast. The smell of coffee and toast filled my nostrils immediately.“You’re up early for a Saturday,” my mom observed with a smile. “Big plans today?”“Yeah, pretty big,” I said, pouring myself a glass of orange juice. “I’m visiting a couple of friends who are going through some tough times. And then I have plans later in the evening too.”“Sounds like a full day,” my mom said. “Do you ne

Tara’s POVI knew Sarah came from money. She always dressed well, carried nice things, and had that polished look that came from having resources. But standing in front of her house now, seeing the actual scale of her family’s wealth, I realized I had severely underestimated just how rich her family was.The security guard at the gate checked our names against a list before opening the massive iron gates and gesturing for us to walk up the long driveway. Jasper and I exchanged wide-eyed glances as we approached the front door.“This is insane,” Jasper whispered. “This place is like a mansion from a movie.”“I know,” I whispered back, feeling suddenly very underdressed and out of place.We rang the doorbell, and within seconds, the door was opened by an actual butler. He was dressed in a formal suit and looked like he’d stepped out of a period drama.“Miss Tara and Mr. Jasper, I presume?” he said with a slight bow. “Miss Sarah is expecting you. Please, come in.”We stepped inside and b

Jasper’s POV“Help!” Tara screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice cracking with panic. “Somebody help us! Please!”Maria came running out of the house first, her face going pale when she saw Sarah collapsed on the ground. Within seconds, she was on her phone calling for an ambulance while other staff members rushed out to see what was happening.“She just fainted,” I explained quickly, keeping my hand on Sarah’s wrist to feel for a pulse. “We were about to go for a walk and she just collapsed.”“The ambulance is on its way,” Maria said, kneeling down beside Sarah and gently touching her forehead. “Mija, can you hear me?”Sarah didn’t respond. Her face was so pale it was almost gray, and her breathing was shallow.The ambulance arrived within minutes, the paramedics taking over and carefully loading Sarah onto a stretcher. Tara and I climbed into the back of the ambulance with her, both of us refusing to leave her side. Maria said she would contact Sarah’s parents immediately and m

Tara’s POVI sat in the back of the cab, my mind spinning in circles as I stared out the window without really seeing anything. My fingers kept touching my lips, still feeling the ghost of Tony’s kiss there.What had I just done? Why had I kissed him back?The guilt crashed over me in waves, mixing with confusion and shame. I was on my way to meet Jake, Jake, and now I’d just kissed someone else hours before our meeting.I should have insisted that Jasper come with me to Tony’s place. If Jasper had been there, none of this would have happened. Tony wouldn’t have kissed me, and I wouldn’t have this awful guilt sitting heavy in my chest.But I’d respected Jasper’s boundaries when he said he didn’t want to come. I’d gone alone. And now everything was a mess.I was so lost in my spiraling thoughts that I didn’t even realize we were pulling up to my house until the driver’s voice snapped me out of it.“Miss? We’re here,” he said, glancing at me in the rearview mirror with concern. “Are you

Xavier’s POVI felt my jaw clench with irritation as Tara’s phone rang again. Jane had been calling all evening, over and over, completely disregarding the fact that Tara clearly didn’t want to talk. Who did that? Who kept calling someone repeatedly when they obviously weren’t answering?The selfishness of it made my blood boil. Couldn’t Jane understand that Tara had a life outside of their friendship? That maybe, just maybe, Tara was busy with something important?Like being here with me.But then Tara answered, and I tried to push down my annoyance. At least now Jane would say whatever she needed to say and leave us alone.“Jane, this better be important. Do you know what time it is?” Tara said, her voice sharp with irritation that mirrored my own feelings.I couldn’t hear what Jane was saying on the other end, just the muffled sound of her voice through the phone. Tara was sitting up now, the sheet wrapped around her, and I could see her expression changing as she listened.“What a
