Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cursed To Love You: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

DRASA POVI was wiping down a table when I glanced toward the VIP room, the one Cassian always sat at, like he’d claimed it from the beginning. I didn’t see him when I went back earlier, but I told myself not to overthink. Maybe he stepped outside to do something important.Then, after serving two tables and returning to grab the pitcher of water, I looked again and he wasn't there still.No goodbye, no quick message. Just... vanished without trace.I tried calling him twice. No answer, I also sent a few messages still nothing.At first, I tried to play it cool. Maybe he had somewhere to be, maybe something urgent came up or maybe he went to buy me flowers so I got busy and tried to distract myself.By the time my shift ended, my mind had already spiraled through every possibility regardless of how hard I tried not to think about it. I wasn’t even hungry, I just wanted to go home and disappear under my blanket. “I might be a little late tomorrow.” Amelia's voice interrupted my thou

Cassian POVI stood in the large mirror in my room as I fixed my shirt. It is that evening, the traditional dinner between my family and Elena’s. My brows arched into a frown when I thought about her. That little witch better not ruin things for me tonight.The sharp knock on my door jolted me back to reality. I gave my reflection one last fake smile before I walked to answer the door, it was Kai. I rolled my eyes and let him in.“You don’t look happy to see me at all” he joked and flipped himself on my bed. I ignored him as I went through my drawer of tie, I could not settle on one. I sighed “ This corporate stuff is really not for me” I said to myself.“Has she stopped texting?’ Kai suddenly asked as he got busy with polishing my shoe. He doesn’t have to say her name before I know he was talking about Drasa. My face dropped and I slammed my drawer shut. Kai, agitated by the sudden sound of the drawer, flinched and gave me a look. I walked away with no reply or explanation for my out

DRASA POVMy eyes opened to the same room I have been for the past three days since the mysterious attack, the hospital. The pain in my rib, back, forearm and thighs has reduced but the ache in my heart has not. I know I told myself that I would stop hoping but I could not just bring myself to believe that Cassian would get my texts and still not show up at the hospital.The nurse walked in and checked my vitals. “You are such a strong lad” she smiled and ruffled my hair and somehow I relaxed at her soft gesture."You are free to go home, just make sure to check in sometimes so we can redress the wounds”. I nodded and she left.Left alone in the quiet room, my gaze scanned the room like it was my first time there. The rising sun rays seeped into the room through the slightly opened curtains and the room reeked of antiseptic and Maya’s cologne.Reminding me of Maya, I squeezed the teddy bear she got and smiled. She is such a darling.The door flung open revealing Amelia and Maya as

DRASA POVGoing back to school after everything felt like walking into a room full of eyes I couldn't see but could still feel.It had been a week since the attack. An horrible week since I’d been in a place that wasn’t a hospital bed or my bed. And now, as I walked past the school gates, everything felt... different, the air felt thicker and sharper.The sky looked the same. The buildings were still the same dull beige.The hallway smelled of worn books and floor polish just like always, but something inside me had changed and that scared the living hell outta me.My heart thudded louder than usual, my palms were slick with sweat. I couldn’t stop checking over my shoulder every few seconds, like someone might grab me again or stab me in the stomach this time.Maya noticed it before I even said a word.We were walking together, side by side, and she kept throwing me sideways glances. She didn’t ask anything at first, just hummed softly as we moved past groups of chatting students, b

Cassian POVThe court was empty, just the way I wanted it, just the way I needed it.I’d been playing for what felt like hours, or maybe just minutes….I couldn’t tell anymore. My shirt was soaked through with sweat, my arms sore, legs burning, and yet none of it helped, nothing helped take my mind off from the constant thought that Drasa hates me now.The ball kept bouncing wrong.Every shot either clanked off the rim or didn’t reach it at all, everything about my game tonight was trash.It wasn’t about the game, It never was.This was how I numbed the ache in my chest…the frustration, the guilt, the anger at myself for letting Drasa slip through my fingers and not showing up for her when she needed me the most.I was the villain in her story now. And maybe I deserved it, maybe she was right for everything she said and whatever my reasons are not worth abandoning her.I grabbed the ball again, took a few dribbles, and shot from the free throw line.The ball smacked the board and roll
