บททั้งหมดของ FATED to SIN, BOUND by TIME: บทที่ 121 - บทที่ 130

Arielle's POVI sighed and gently moved his hands away.I wanted to tell him everything.I wanted to tell him how amazing my weekend had been.How my boyfriend and I had grown closer. How he had kissed me.How I believed we were finally getting somewhere.But I couldn't."Well, my weekend wasn't all that," I answered softly.Darren's expression immediately changed."Would you like to go to a movie with me this coming weekend?"I looked at him."Or better still, I could invite you over to my place. We could spend some time together. My cars are classic, and my room is legendary."I quickly took a few steps back.Absolutely not.I knew Darren had feelings for me. I couldn't encourage him, especially now.Anything that could interfere with my future relationship with Cassian was something I had to avoid."I appreciate the invitation, but I'll have to decline," I said with the best smile I could manage. "I spend every weekend with my family. It's a family tradition."It was a lie.But it

Cassian's POV Her education. Her mother's job. Her sister's future. Everything he could destroy if I refused to obey him. So I did the only thing I believed would keep her safe. I pushed her away. She stumbled backward and fell to the ground. My entire body screamed at me to move. To help her. But I stood there. She hissed in pain and looked down at her bruised hand with widened eyes. I clenched my fists. "Are you stupid?" I asked coldly. She shifted her gaze toward me. For a moment, I saw the hurt in her eyes. Then she stood up and forced another smile. "I'm sorry. I stumbled by accident." Her soft words pierced my heart. I felt like the worst human being on earth as I fought to keep my emotions under control. "What the fuck do you want from me?" I asked coldly. She looked shocked. "I... I just..." Her voice shook. "You didn't call, and your line was off. I was worried..." I clenched my hands harder. I wanted to embrace her. I wanted to tell her everything t

Arielle's POV"Screw fate and the destiny goddess. I'm done!" I screamed as I walked through the streets with blurred vision and tears running down my face.How could I be so stupid and fight for such a man?It was clear as glass that the Cassian of this timeline didn't want me or want me the way I wanted him.His words had shattered my heart and made me experience the same pain I had gone through when he decided to let me go in our first life."How could he?" I asked in a whisper as his words played repeatedly in my mind.Cheap whore.Climbing the social ladder.You are only worthy to be played with.I pressed my lips together as more tears escaped.How stupid and naive was I?All this time, I thought I was breaking down his walls.I thought the little moments we shared meant something to him.I thought the way he looked at me, touched me, and stayed close to me meant that somewhere inside him, he was beginning to remember what we had.But in truth, I had only been making a fool of m

Arielle's POVI woke up with a headache that felt like my head was being ripped apart.I groaned low and slowly moved to sit at the edge of the bed, bringing my hands to my forehead with a low sigh."Arielle, how much did you drink?" I asked myself softly.I honestly couldn't remember the last time I had drunk that much.I stayed there for a few seconds, trying to collect my thoughts. My mouth felt dry, and my body felt heavy. Even opening my eyes properly seemed like too much work.Then everything from last night slowly started coming back.Cassian's friend.The pub.The liquor.Cassian.I swallowed hard.I got up and made my way to the bathroom. I stripped off my clothes and stepped into the shower, turning it on.As cold water poured over my body, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.Almost immediately, images of what happened last night played in my mind.Slash sitting across from me.His serious expression.The things he told me about Cassian.The truth about his childhood.T

Cassian's POVI couldn't believe Slash had called me out for something like this.As it was, I wanted to see or talk to no one.I was going through emotions I had never experienced this intensely before.My chest felt heavy, and my mind was a mess.And every time I closed my eyes, I saw Arielle standing in front of me with tears in her eyes after I had called her a whore.I had destroyed her.I knew that.But then again, how could I turn down Slash's invitation without a proper explanation?Maybe I needed to be around my best friend.Maybe I needed to get high and get everything off my chest without caring about how pathetic I sounded.So I went.When I arrived, Slash welcomed me like always, with a joke and a happy tone that didn't match my mood at all.I barely reacted.We took our seats, and he immediately looked at me from across the table."Why the hell do you look like shit?"I stared at him.Normally, I would have insulted him back.Today, I didn't have the energy."I let her g
