Kael's pov If I said my life had become a living hell, believe it. My father has made sure my life has become more miserable as each day passes. I sat on the bench, in the locker room of the gym, thinking about how everything had changed in the space of forty eight hours. First, he sent me out of my apartment. Now, my credit card had been declined, the transaction denied so casually by the system, as if it was a casual thing to experience. But it wasn’t casual, not for me. If I wasn't a regular at that coffee shop, it would have been worse. The embarrassment would have been on another level. It will be worse than my father’s hand closing tighter around my throat, I didn't have any other places to go. I could have called Arian, but I couldn't. Why would I call him when he asked me to leave him alone? So I sat at the gym, waiting. Waiting for my anger to boil into action. Waiting for a kind of miracle to happen. That's when my phone lit up. I thought God was listening to me and may

Kael's pov “What's the reason why he didn't touch you?” I asked before I could stop myself. My mom looked at me, her side glance silently saying ‘why would I ruin the moment with that question?’I shrugged, flashing her a smile, silently telling her that I'm sorry to ruin the moment but I have to know the truth. Then she turned away from me, she settled on the sofa. “Your father doesn't like women,” she said, her words felt like a bombshell on me. “What?” I spat.“Isn't it obvious?” she asked me.“How is it obvious? That man hates me because I chose to love Arian. He talks about my relationship as if it's a plague. He did a good job hiding it well if what you're saying is true,” I said, trying to settle myself from the shock.“At first, I thought he didn't like me. I thought he was cheating on me with another woman. But after I did my findings, Karl Palmer is surrounded by men, not women. I know he puts on a tough facade, but he is into men.”“Oh…* I said, unsure of what to say.

Kael's pov A day had passed after my encounter with George. I now hold a secret I don't know how to use. Whenever I look at my mother, I get tempted to ruin everything without consideration. But what would I do next? If I act without a plan or a strategy, everything my mother suffered for will crumble. She would lose everything. So I have to find a way to drag Karl Palmer down without bringing down my family.The same goes for Arian. I've been thinking about him alot. Like every minute, he comes to my mind. I have a lot to tell him but first, I must confirm what my father did to him in that hotel room. I gripped the steering wheel tightly as I drove to Arian's house. The only thing on my lips was a silent prayer that he would give me a listening ear. I just hope he would not ask me to leave again. I pulled over in front of his house, the memories of our time there flooded my mind. I climbed the steps and knocked. My heart pounded like it wanted to escape. The door opened, but it

Arian's pov “What did Karl Palmer do to you?” he asked, his voice low but firm.Kael’s eyes were locked on my father, burning with the same fury I’d seen so many times before, but this time, it wasn’t for me. It was burning with the zeal to get answers. Andy’s mouth opened, his voice catching as he tried to form words. “The monster you called a father is a vile and despicable man. You want to know what he did to me… maybe you should ask him and hear it from the devil's mouth.”“Enough.” My own voice cut through his words, sharper than I intended. Both of them turned to me with a questioning look but I didn’t care. I know Karl Palmer is all the names Andy called him but I couldn't let him continue. Kael was going through enough, you can't add our own problem to his. I shook my head, my chest tightening. “Just like he said, if you need answers, go ask your dad.”Andy didn't argue, although he didn't look pleased. He stepped back, his lips pressed into a thin line. Kael, however, was

Arian's pov I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard.The words rang in my ears, louder than the storm of memories they dragged along with them. My chest felt tight, my stomach knotted, and for a moment, I forgot how to breathe. Kael’s lips were still moving, his voice desperate and low, trying to explain, but all I could see was the boy waiting for his mother to come home.The image of my mother’s face flashed through my mind. I remembered her smile whenever she came back at night to see me waiting for her. I remembered how much she worked just to see me get the basics. Now, he was here telling me he was the one that caused the accident. It is impossible. How could he, the guy I like most, do such a thing to me? How did I even end up falling for him? The universe must have a cruel script for me because what in the name of God is going on with my life? This guy drove me to my mother's grave. And I never knew he was the one that caused her death. “Arian, please say something. Anythi
