AMARA POV“I told you to let me come alone, Zed. Now look at the attention you dragged,” I groaned, pressing my palm to my face.He only smiled …. that annoying, smug smile that never failed to make my stomach flip even when I wanted to wring his neck.“Come on… they should all know you are Zed Roberto Black’s girlfriend,” he teased, poking my nose.I rolled my eyes so hard I almost saw the back of my head.I glanced outside. Phones were already up. Some girls were adjusting their wigs. The boys were whispering. I knew it would be like this the moment he and Tracy showed up at my doorstep this morning with that car that probably costs more than the whole school building.I sighedI knew this would happen the second he showed up at my door this morning … with Tracy beside him, of course … both of them acting like my personal bodyguards.“Do you want me to come with you?” he asked, his voice dripping mischief.I glared at him.He gave me that annoyingly sexy smile.“I don’t want eyes on

AMARA POV“Lilly… Lilly… don’t leave me behind, please!!”A small voice echoed through the darkness.A little girl … barely five …. ran barefoot through tall grass, tears streaking her dusty cheeks as she clung to the hand of an older girl. Their faces were hazy, blurry… like a memory submerged underwater.“Stay here, okay? Don’t go anywhere,” the older girl whispered, pushing the younger into a flower garden, hiding her between bright petals and thick leaves.“I’ll come back for you. I promise.”Her clothes were torn, her hair messy … they had been running.Running from someone.“Lilly!” the younger girl cried again.The older girl turned to run….But shadows appeared.Huge men.Hefty. Dark. Closing in.The older girl stumbled. Fell.A scream tore out…..“LILLY!!”I jerked awake with a loud gasp, my chest heaving like I had been drowning.Tears streamed down my face before I even realized I was crying. My fists were clenched so tight my nails dug into my skin.“Amara—hey, hey. Look a

DANIEL POVI brushed my fingers gently through her soft, thinning hair, forcing a smile I didn’t feel.Hiding the pain had become second nature to me.Nora… my little sister… my only true family left in this world.She lay fragile on the hospital bed, her breaths shallow, her skin pale from years of fighting cancer.Years of dialysis. Years of chemo.Years of watching the strongest soul I know weaken piece by piece.But she still smiled at me.That same small, sweet smile that always stabbed my heart with both hope and heartbreak.The nurse adjusted the IV line, glanced at the tablet in her hand, then at me.“Okay, Daniel… we saw the payment come through. We’ll proceed with this month’s treatment.”I nodded, exhaling slowly. “Thank you, nurse.”She gave a sympathetic smile before walking out of the room.Nora’s thin fingers wrapped around mine like a child afraid of losing her last anchor.I turned back to her immediately.Her eyes….tired but warm…held guilt.“I’m sorry, Daniel… sorry

AMARA POV “Come on, Zed,” I groaned, rolling my eyes as his shadow fell across the half-opened door. He was literally peeping at me like a worried mother hen. Again.“I just want to make sure you’re okay… sure you don’t need help?” he asked for what had to be the hundredth time today. His voice was soft but restless, like he was trying to hide the panic that lived permanently under his skin now.I sighed. Loudly.It had been like this for days….ever since I came back from the hospital, Zed refused to let me out of his sight. Not for a second. Not even to bathe.And as if that wasn’t enough, he had refused to take me back home.He claimed I needed rest. I suspected he needed to watch me closely.At least today, after two days of arguing, he finally agreed to take me out.“Finally,” I whispered to myself, applying my gloss and admiring the tiny bit of normalcy returning to my face in the mirror.“Let me help you,” Zed murmured as he walked into the room….like he hadn’t been standing th

AMARA’S POVI don’t know how my legs carried me toward the car. Everything inside me was trembling….not from fear, but from the weight of what I had just learned.I had never imagined Zed carrying so much trauma… so much darkness quietly buried under his cold calm. And now that I finally knew, something inside me cracked open.When he said “You can leave now”, something inside me twisted painfully. Leave?After everything?No.I couldn’t.So I did the only thing my heart pushed me to do.I opened the car door, hands shaking, and grabbed the small silver hairpin lying on the seat. It looked delicate… but the tip was sharp. Cold. Perfect for what I needed.With the pin in my hand, I walked back to him. His shoulders were tense, his head slightly bowed….as if he was fighting every second not to break down completely. Like he was holding the world on his spine.And then he turned.Tears slipped from his eyes.Zed.The man who never flinched.Never bowed.Never cracked.Crying.The sight s
