After Caspian and I cleared up that childhood connection, the faint awkwardness between us finally disappeared. Everything felt different now. Natural. Easy.Getting along became so much smoother.Seeing how well we fit together, Mrs. Shore visibly relaxed. The tension in her shoulders eased. She left again in her usual whirlwind fashion, already making plans.She needed to return to Africa to help Mr. Shore finish his current projects. Then she'd come back to plan our wedding ceremony properly. She was absolutely determined to make it spectacular."It needs to be perfect," she'd said before leaving, gripping my hands. "My son waited years for you. This wedding will be one the whole pack remembers."After she left, the house felt quieter. Bigger somehow.Caspian must have noticed. He worried I'd get bored staying home alone all day. So he suggested I go shopping at the mall. Relax. Treat myself. Buy whatever caught my eye."Get anything you want," he'd said that morning, pressing his c

But my gaze suddenly froze.My feet stopped moving.Not far away, Caspian stood there quietly. Perfectly still. His dark eyes fixed on me.I didn't know how long he'd been standing there. How much he'd heard.My heart lurched violently. The bottom dropped out of my stomach.An indescribable embarrassment and panic instantly seized me. It gripped my throat like a fist.All those hysterical accusations I'd just made. All that ugly emotion I'd spilled out. All my pain and rage and bitterness.He'd heard everything.Every single word.I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole.I forcibly suppressed the alarm screaming through my veins. Tried to act nonchalant as I walked toward him.Like my world wasn't crashing down. Like I wasn't dying inside.But my body betrayed me.My fingertips trembled slightly. I dug my nails harder into my palm. The sharp pain was the only thing keeping me grounded.I stopped in front of him. Couldn't quite meet his eyes.I forced out a smile. It felt wro

Ethan violently shoved open the villa door with both hands.The force was so great the door slammed against the wall.The massive sound echoed through the empty living room, bouncing off the high ceilings.Making the space feel even more hollow than it already was.Selene sat on the couch in the center of the room, completely at ease.Leisurely painting her nails a deep red color.The picture of domestic comfort, as if she owned the place.Seeing only him return, alone and disheveled, a flash of triumphant glee quickly passed through her eyes.Victory. Finally.But the expression was gone in an instant, replaced by her usual mask.Soft innocence spreading across her features like she was putting on a well-worn costume.Only at this moment did Ethan truly see it.Really see what kind of vicious heart hid beneath that pitiful face.How had he been so blind?Selene put down the nail polish bottle carefully, making sure not to smudge her work.She stood up gracefully, smoothing down her dr

A week before the wedding, Caspian's parents finally rushed back from Africa.They looked tired from the long journey. Dusty from travel. But their eyes were bright with excitement.The desert winds hadn't diminished Mrs. Shore's enthusiasm at all. Not even a little bit.The moment she walked through the door, she dropped her luggage and came straight to me."Aria! Let me look at you!"She grabbed my hands. Squeezed them tight. Her smile was so warm it made my chest ache.Mr. Shore followed behind her, carrying several suitcases. He set them down with a grunt and gave me a kind nod."Good to see you again, Aria. You look well.""Thank you for coming back so quickly," I said. "I know you were in the middle of important work—""Nonsense!" Mrs. Shore cut me off. "Our son's wedding is the most important thing in the world! Everything else can wait!"She pulled me toward the couch. Made me sit down. Her energy was infectious."Now, I have something for you. I've been carrying it with me for
