Elizabeth’s POVSaturday morning felt unusually calm. The kind of quiet that made you believe the world had finally decided to give you a break.I woke up without dread pressing against my chest. The sun was soft, slipping gently through my curtains. I made coffee, opened my window, and for a while, just sat there listening to the sound of the city waking up.It felt almost normal.I thought of Sebastian — of the night we’d spent together. The way he’d held me like something fragile, something worth saving. We hadn’t talked about the future, but for once, I didn’t need to. His warmth had been enough to silence my doubts.I smiled to myself, brushing a strand of hair from my face. Maybe, just maybe, things were beginning to fall into place.After breakfast, I decided to go for a short walk. I needed air, something to fill the silence that had started to feel too heavy. I threw on a sweater and stepped outside.The streets were busy but peaceful. Vendors calling out prices, children lau

Elizabeth's POVMy head swam. For a second I thought she would laugh. But her face was blank and the words came like a promise. She meant it.For a moment I considered laughing at the absurdity. My mother is threatening to kill a man she fought so hard to keep. But then I thought of Sebastian’s gentle hands and the way he smiled at me. My chest closed up.“No,” I said, softly. “You can’t…”“I can,” she interrupted. “We do what we must. Do not test me.”She turned and climbed into her car like the conversation was over.I moved like a ghost. My legs felt shaky but I kept standing. The anger that rose in me now was not the sharp, ugly thing I had felt when I first saw the bank statements. This was clearer, colder. It was not just betrayal now — it was danger. They had a pact. They were together in a way I had never imagined. They were ready to destroy anyone who got in their way.I did not tell Sebastian. I did not tell anyone. Joshua had his threat. May had hers. Both of them had cross

Elizabeth’s POVI walked away from them—away from May and Joshua. My hands were shaking, but I didn’t look back. If I did, I knew I’d crumble. My heart was still pounding hard, but it wasn’t fear anymore. It was something else—release.I had said it out loud. I loved Sebastian.No more hiding, no more shame.The air outside was cooler than before. The sun had gone down, leaving streaks of gold behind the buildings. I pressed my lips together, trying to steady my breath. I should have felt peace, but a strange chill ran through me—as if someone was watching.Then I heard the voice.“Well, well… look who we have here.”I froze.Jennifer stepped out from behind a parked car, her arms folded and her lips curved into that familiar mocking smile. Her hair was tied up high, her face glowing with makeup that couldn’t hide the bitterness underneath.“You look surprised,” she said, taking a slow step toward me. “Miss me?”I swallowed hard. “What are you doing here, Jennifer? You’re supposed to

Elizabeth’s POVThe morning came too early.The events of the previous day soon flooded back to my mind. My body soon began to shake again— from May’s rage, from Jennifer’s threat, from saying out loud that I loved Sebastian.The truth was out.And I didn’t feel ashamed. I felt… empty. Like I had poured everything out of myself and there was nothing left to hide.Sebastian was not mad at me, but I could see the worry in his eyes. He didn’t have to say it — we both knew what was coming. People like May and Jennifer didn’t just let go.When he had left, the house felt cold again. I told him I’d be fine, but the second the door closed, my hands started shaking. I picked up my phone to distract myself — that was my first mistake.The notifications came like bullets.> Did you really sleep with your professor?Wow, your mom’s husband? That’s sick.You’re trending, Liz. Congrats.Photos. Screenshots. Rumors.Jennifer had done it. She told everyone.My throat closed. I tried to breathe, but

Elizabeth’s POVThe next morning, the school felt different.I walked through the gate slowly, my heart heavy, the sound of my shoes echoing against the wet pavement. The rain had stopped, but the ground still smelled of it. Every corner reminded me of him — the hallway where he used to pass by, the faculty window where I sometimes saw his shadow. Now it all felt empty.Without Sebastian, the campus looked colder. The laughter of students, too loud, too normal for a day that wasn’t normal to me.When I entered the lecture hall, I chose a seat near the window. The professor’s voice was distant, words floating around me but never landing. I tried to focus on the board, but all I saw in my mind was the image of him. Sebastian.My fingers curled around my pen, and I blinked fast to hold back the tears.Across the room, Jennifer sat with Ethan. Their laughter was too loud for a morning class. When our eyes met, she smirked — that same cruel, satisfied curve of her lips that made my stomach
