# Kaira's POVOliver seemed to be talking. His mouth moving, his worried expression was sharp and clear, but his voice was only a distant hum.My mind refused to let go of Tony.Should I meet with him and clear things up? But I had to make sure he didn't know about my new place. Of course I should meet him... If anyone deserved an explanation, it was him. I owed him that much. And I need to ease his worry, but that would be all. No more worrying over me—especially if it could stir up trouble with his family. I wouldn’t drag him into my mess."But where had he been? Was it last night or before dawn? What was he even doing these days?" No answers came.I shook my head, trying to push the thoughts away.I glanced at my phone again, thumb hovering over the screen.Then my hand typed a response: "[Okay, brother. Where do you want us to meet?]"I squeezed my eyes shut and hit send.I let out a deep sigh of relief. "Yeah... It's the right thing to do," I muttered.A gentle tap on my shoulder

# Kaira's POVThree hours earlier, I’d sat straighter on the bed, waiting for Oliver to mention the phone I’d found. His gaze never lifted from his food. Each bite felt like a silent brick wall, so I matched his quiet, pretending my mind wasn’t spinning.After our meal together, I returned to Camille and Jason, who had also finished eating. This time, I couldn't escape until I told them what they were dying to hear.They circled me like a pair of cats scenting a secret. I told them what I could. Though I didn't reveal much about Oliver, I told them he was my friend. I explained the accident Oliver had saved me from and how the doctors diagnosed him with amnesia afterward. Camille's elbow slid onto the small table she had just finished eating from. Their faces tilted forward and they listened with their full attention, leaning forward like they were watching a movie they had been dying to finish.And about how I had left home... I told them everything about cutting ties with my family,

#Kaira's POVTony vanished from the scene so suddenly that I thought my eyes might be playing tricks on me. I rubbed at my eyes and forced them open wider, but still nothing.The thug and the man with the gun were gone too.It was like nothing had happened, but I knew it was real.I could see people still scattered around the area from the sound of the gunshots.What was this? Why couldn't I find him from my position? My head throbbed like someone was hammering nails into my skull. My fingers trembled, and so did my entire body. My heart kept pounding so hard and loud that I could barely breathe.Without thinking, I threw myself into the road. Car horns blared around me, but I kept going. If they couldn't stop for me to cross, so be it. The light wasn't even green yet, and they were being this aggressive, causing a traffic jam.I wondered where the road safety officers were instead of sticking to their assigned posts.Cars screeched to a halt around me. Drivers rolled down windows to

#Kaira's POVMy phone rang, loud and sudden, cutting through my tangled emotions.I paused, my trembling hand reaching into my bag to grab it. My fingers shook so badly that I accidentally pressed the power button too hard. The phone shut off by itself.I pulled the phone out, but it was too late. I couldn't see who had been calling.Could it be Jason? Camille? They were probably calling to tell me they were done shopping and waiting for me to join them at the market. Or maybe they were worried and called to hear about my meeting with Tony.I pressed the power button to turn the phone back on and return the call.The screen lit up, slowly booting back to life.My eyes turned to the cafe without thinking, and I caught Tony's gaze still following me. I turned forward immediately, avoiding his stare.That sad expression was still written all over his face. And instead of coffee, I saw an alcoholic drink on the table now. His face looked like the world had collapsed on him.Tony... drinki

# Kaira's POV:I stayed quiet, my eyes still locked on his without saying a word.Then...I looked away from him and pulled the chair back so I could sit down.I sat, keeping my head down, refusing to meet his piercing stare.I tried hard not to look intimidated by his presence. I wanted to act bold despite my... my simple clothes and him knowing exactly where I came from.I thought of words that would come out confidently, not just rambling. I needed to control my mouth, to command at least a tiny bit of respect from him, or just get him to treat me decently...The sharp tap of his fingers on the table snapped me out of my thoughts."Hey. Why are you being quiet?" Damian's voice sliced through my mind.I glanced at him. His legs were crossed in that casual, powerful way.He gestured toward a waiter standing nearby, just waiting for orders.The waiter approached immediately, his steps were quick and silent.Damian ordered a whiskey.The waiter bowed respectfully before walking backwar
