{NYRA}“What’s this?” A little note was beside the food Jayden prepared for me.My heart pumped. I was curious to know the inside content. “I’m positive that it’s another romantic gesture from him again,” my lips dangled in amusement. However, I picked it up. It was tiny in my hands. Regardless— it was mine.And the letter went like this: “I hope you enjoyed the food. You were so sound asleep that I didn't want to wake you up.”That explained why I was here. He brought me to our bedroom after I had fallen asleep. Gosh! I hope I wasn't too heavy.“I wanted to prepare your food myself— so I woke up earlier. By now— I know you would have probably been there.”Yikes! My eyes widened in realization. “Oh lord… I hope it's not 10am yet. If not I'm screwed.” I searched for my phone on the bed. It wasn't there. So I leaned towards the wooden drawer on the floor and I combed through it inside the purse. “It's gotta be around there somewhere,” my voice, barely above a whisper.“Ahh… seen

{JAYDEN} “Sir? They are here.” A knock on the door disrupted the little sleep I was getting. I honestly thought that hiding in here would keep me away from everyone. Well, I guessed wrong. The office was quiet, with papers neatly stacked on my desk and the faint ticking of the wall clock filled the silence. The hum of the air conditioner and the sterile scent of disinfectant lingered, reminding me I was still in the hospital. “When should we begin?” Intern Cathy whispered, immediately after finding out that she had ruined my nap time. She bowed her tiny head. She gazed at any other place but where I sat. Her fingers twisted together nervously, shoulders stiff, eyes darting quickly to the floor then to the wall as if searching for escape. Maybe she didn't want to witness how infuriated I was. But I wasn't. Cathy was the least person that I could get pissed at. Plus— she had no idea I was relaxing. I adjusted my white coat and sleeves properly. “Uhh… give

{JAYDEN}“Are you nuts? You almost gave me a heart attack with the silly stunt you pulled.”God damn— I thought that was the end.I could literally feel the sour taste of my heart in my mouth.And for about thirty fucking minutes— the taste never left.‘Imagine what would have happened if I had fucking given in?’I blew a heavy breath as I fought the fears away.“Come on man… I was joking,” Massimo smirked. His laughter could be heard in the atmosphere.It didn't stop for a second.Then he leaned mockingly on the seat that faced opposite me. “But what the hell Jayden. She’s hot. Really sexy.”My eyes rolled annoyingly at him. “Not as Nyra.”Massi scoffed. His brows arched suspiciously. “Not sure about that man. If not I wouldn't have seen you with another woman.”“So close to you,” he added. “And you didn't seem like you hated advances.” Bastard!The cock knew what he was doing.He wanted my reaction. To see what I would say. Then— we fucked around. We celebrated it without remorse

{NYRA}I couldn't do it!I thought about so many things. I couldn't bring myself to end it all.My life.It hasn't even had a chance to bloom yet. Fuck it.It just means I was selfish— like my father.Inconsiderate. Scared to thrive. And weak.“I’m not weak. Do you hear me Dad? I'm… not… weak. I refuse it,” the tears in my eyes fell freely into the sea.The wave slapped my face. It mixed with the moisture on my skin.My whole body crouched to the water. My dress was drenched. I hugged my skin tightly.“It's cold. Th— this place is freaking cold.”I quivered. Teeth gnashed together. My hair ran loose in the wind. I felt the air pass through my ears. Into my eardrums. The passage through my nostrils was blocked.“Jayden!” It came as a whisper. My tone was dull. It croaked like a frog. About to create another drop of tears.I missed him. He was the only one who saw the best in me when most of them saw an opportunity to put me back into my shell.I was used to being dependent on them.
