“Because I want to figure you out,” he said quietly into my ear. His breath brushed my skin and for a second I froze. Then he pulled his head back and just stared at me, his eyes fixed on me like he was trying to read everything I wasn’t saying.“I used to think setting up CCTV cameras in the house was pointless,” he added “But I guess it’s worth it now. Because how else would I have seen that?”My eyes stayed on glued him and I refused to look away. My feet moved before I thought about it making me move one step closer to him “You wanna know why I did that?” I asked, my voice sharper than I meant.“You’ve got a better answer to convince me?” he asked back, his tone a little mocking.“Oh, well,” I said, my words spilling fast, “a man literally attacked me the day before yesterday and then yesterday he killed himself. Doesn’t that sound suspicious?”There was a pause and there was silence for some seconds then he chuckled.“So you spiked my drink… snooped around my house… because you

As we arrived at the front of my workplace, Ethan looked at me. “I’ll pick you up for the reunion,” he said, and I simply nodded. I then unbuckled my seatbelt and was about to step out when he suddenly took my hand, making me turn to him. “What’s the matter?” I asked. “Today marks our second day as a couple, and we haven’t really done much. Plus, I won’t let you open the car door by yourself,” he replied, and I felt a grimace wanting to form on my face. What the hell??He then exited the car and approached my side, acting like a gentleman as he opened the door for me. I got out of the car, and he shut the door behind me. My gaze then caught some people, mostly reporters, lurking around and snapping pictures. Oh, that’s why he was being so courteous like a gentleman He must have noticed the reporters. “Let’s show them more and give them news to talk about ” he said, and I gave him a puzzled expression, not grasping his intention. Then, out of the blue, he clasped my waist and d

I approached the lady I recognized as Isabella Grant, the IT girl and the Queen Bee of the school then, she was essentially the female equivalent of Ethan, being the popular figure admired by both boys and girls, myself included.I had admired her beauty and intelligence until she decided to target me as one of her victims, consistently hurling cruel words that left me feeling heartbroken, bullying me and her actions clearly conveyed her hatred for me.I stood before her, and she looked up at me, probably wondering what I was doing in front of her.“You’re pretty,” I said , sounding more chilling than genuinely complimentary. “But I don’t think red looks good on you,” I added, causing her to arch her brow in confusion and anger simultaneously.Just as she was about to respond, someone interrupted us.It was Dave, Ethan’s friend.“Oh, this is Isabella, isn’t she a goddess?” Dave said like he was introducing me to her then looking at Isabella as if he were enchanted, making her to roll

I was still trying to comprehend what he had just said, so I didn't even notice when he unbuckled his seatbelt and exited his car. While I remained in the vehicle, I turned to the side where he had gotten out and realized that probably he might need some fresh air. Did he have past traumas? Or something else? The main thought occupying my mind was actually why he hated Skylar, I wondered why he had such animosity towards her, towards me. I stepped out of the car, and the chilly breeze hit me as I walked slowly towards him, noticing he was attempting to catch his breath. I was correct, perhaps the car was indeed suffocating, which is why he had stepped outside. “Please just take me home, don’t call the emergency ” I heard him say in a quiet tone, but I remained frozen, just staring at him. I couldn’t take any action as I simply looked at him. He was clearly dealing with something, and I couldn’t help but think maybe this was karma for what he had put me through. He does not des

“I think it’s time for me to leave,” I said, and just as I was about to walk away, he unexpectedly grasped my wrist, making me turn my gaze to him.His focus was on my hand before he shifted his eyes to meet mine.“Believe me, there are some things you’re not aware of,” he said.“I may not know them now, but I will eventually discover them,” I replied, and then I glanced down at his hand still gripping my wrist, making him to let it go.“Why are you so eager to help me?? Huh?? You didn’t even know me years ago, yet you offered your help. You mentioned the same thing at the airport when I was leaving, you said that if I needed help , you’d be ready to help and would wait patiently for me. And now you’re repeating it?? Why?? Huh?” I exclaimed all at once, and silence followed as he continued to stare at me without saying a word.“Are you trying to use me too? Use me against your family??” I added, as he stepped closer, coming so near that I had to take a small step back.“I sincerely wa
