ALEXEI POVOutside, the falling snow unsettled my heart. Watching it through the window didn't make me feel any better. It only made me more anxious because in Anna's last message, she said she was going to the ski area.I kept my phone in my hand, and Anna still hadn't replied. Was she mad because I hadn't answered her? My restlessness grew."Sir?"Yuri's voice startled me. I turned and saw that he had already stepped into my office without me even realizing it."Yes?""It seems Miss Marva isn't feeling well. May I call a doctor?" he asked."Marva is sick?""Yes, since this morning. Miss Marva insisted the maids keep it secret, but her fever keeps rising. They got worried and reported it to me.""Oh, dear…"I rushed out of the office with Yuri close behind me. Marva had seemed fine earlier. She'd looked calm, even comfortable.When I reached her room, the door was already open. Two maids were by her side. A faint coughing sound could be heard as I entered."Marva?" I called.She turn

NATHANIEL POVI could hear the conversation perfectly from the living room doorway, so I quickly stepped inside and got everyone's attention. Ah, damn it! Why did Gabriel have to say something like that? He's such an idiot!I cleared my throat loudly and walked over to Mom and the others.“Of course, Mr. Alexei should know. Anna, Gabriel, and I are students at Bastorin,” I said.Mother looked at me, clearly annoyed because I suddenly cut in without permission. I had to—otherwise Gabriel would start spouting nonsense. I knew exactly what he was like. When Gabriel got jealous, his brain stopped working!I immediately sat down next to Anna. Gabriel shifted away, looking displeased that I was acting "overly friendly" again. If he accuses me of anything after this, I swear I’ll beat him up again."I'm sorry, Mr. Alexei. Anna and I have bothered you so much that you had to come all the way here,” I added.Alexei looked at me with mild confusion but nodded right away. "This is part of my res

Once again, there were no messages from Alexei. It was like he had disappeared into thin air. I was on my way to Bastorin now—almost at the gate. And the moment I stepped through it, all my hopes shattered.Turns out, Alexei wasn’t serious about anything he’d said. I should’ve been with him by now, not returning to Bastorin to continue my studies. But sometimes words are just… words. I should’ve known better.Disappointment and sadness washed over me as I got out of the car and walked into the academy grounds. The twins followed behind me, but neither of them tried to talk to me. They hadn’t spoken a word since our trip back.Just as I was about to step through the front doors, Gabriel suddenly blocked my path. “We need to talk.”I stopped and glanced at him, then at Nathaniel. “You too? You want to talk to me?”“Well, in fact, I do,” Nathaniel nodded.“Enough. I don’t want to talk about Alexei. I’m not in the mood,” I refused.“This isn’t about him, or us.” Nathaniel exhaled. “It’s

Seeing Evelina’s face made me want to punch her, but I felt so drained that even confronting her took too much energy. When she saw us coming, Evelina acted overly concerned and even hugged me. But I just stood there frozen, even though I could’ve yanked her hair right then and there.“Oh dear, I heard everything. This is just awful.” Evelina dabbed the corner of her eye. “I never imagined Alexei was the mastermind behind all this chaos.”“I’m going to my room,” I said, completely ignoring her words.I felt sick—sick and disgusted by Evelina’s manipulative behavior, how she’d heartlessly try to get rid of me for power. But Nathaniel’s evidence wouldn’t be enough. What worried me even more was that Nathaniel could get dragged in and destroyed with me.Nathaniel’s explanation wouldn’t change anything. When the twins and I confronted Evelina later, what would we get? Nothing.Father might get rid of Evelina, but the twins would take the hit. And then Nathaniel and Gabriel’s lives would b

“Hey!”The greeting startled me. I looked up to see Gabriel and Nathaniel standing in the doorway, waving at me. It looked both funny and strange to see the two of them getting along again like that.Good. At least when I go to the convent, they will have each other’s backs.“May we come in?” Gabriel asked.I was still packing clothes into my suitcase and could only nod weakly. They hurried inside and knelt down beside me, one on each side. I caught the twins’ somber expressions.What else was there to regret? I already told Father everything, even if the outcome was far from what I expected. Still, I did not regret telling him the truth.“Do not go, Anna. We will talk to Father Alistair and ask him to take back his decision. He is just angry and confused. I am sure, deep inside, he regrets saying those things,” Gabriel said in a half-panicked voice, trying to encourage me.I gave him a faint, bitter smile.“You should apologize to Father Alistair. Tell him that yes, you did like Alex
