Chapter 31: Secrets and Confrontations

KEIRA’S POVAs Sabina disappeared from my sight, I hurried toward my room, my heart still pounding from the earlier confrontation. Every step I took felt heavier than the last, as though the weight of the day—and of my emotions—were pressing me down. My hands trembled slightly as I reached for the door handle. Relief washed over me at the thought of finally being alone… until someone grabbed my hand firmly.I froze, startled. I looked up and my eyes met his—Drake. My chest tightened.“Is there any problem, Drake?” I asked cautiously, my voice tinged with confusion and a hint of apprehension.Instead of answering, he pushed me against the wall beside my room’s door. My back hit the cold surface, and a shiver ran down my spine.“Drake!” I exclaimed in shock, stepping back slightly, though his closeness made it impossible to fully distance myself. “What is wrong with you?”“Ever since… you are my problem, Keira,” he said, his tone firm and unwavering. His gaze locked onto mine, unyieldin

Chapter 32: Fractured Connections

KEIRA’S POV “And if I don't want to! What can you do about it?” I snapped, my voice sharp with anger. Why does he always have the right to act as he pleases, as if the world revolves around him? “I won't repeat what I said, Keira,” he said, his tone low and dangerous. I could feel the threat behind his words as he grabbed my arm with a grip that made me wince. “I don't care if you want me to leave you alone! But I absolutely cannot stand seeing you flirting with everyone else!” My chest tightened. “So now, Drake, you can do whatever you want, but I can't after we're done? What gives you the right to toy with my feelings?” I yanked my arm free from his hold, my pulse racing. “What is your problem again? Can't you understand what I said?” His patience had clearly worn thin. “I don't have a prob

Chapter 33: When Silence Hurts the Loudest

KEIRA’S POVAS SOON AS I entered the mansion, I didn’t expect the sight that greeted me—a sight so sharp and infuriating that it cut through my chest in an instant.Drake and Sabina were kissing near the staircase again.Their bodies were pressed close, Sabina’s hands gripping his shoulders, his head tilted toward her like she was the only person in the world. The soft glow from the chandelier illuminated them almost mockingly, like the universe had decided to shove the scene right into my face.My feet froze for a moment. Not because I was shocked… but because it hurt more than I wanted to admit.“Can’t you find somewhere else to make out? This isn’t a park!” I snapped, my voice slicing the air sharper than intended.They broke apart instantly.Sabina turned first, hair disheveled, lipstick smudged. “What’s it to you? This isn’t your house!”“Oh, really?” I shot back, my words faster than my thoughts. “Maybe it’s not your house, either. But then again, when you arrived, this place st

Chapter 34: When the Lights Fall on Me

KEIRA’S POV My mom’s original plan had been to hold my birthday celebration at The Peninsula Hotel, but even I objected here we are—that was far too extravagant for my taste. I had never been comfortable with grand displays, preferring quiet, simple moments over lavish parties. Still, Mom insisted, her eyes sparkling with excitement at the thought of celebrating me in such a grand way. Mr. Edward Ashford had gone above and beyond, renting the entire hotel for my birthday. Every detail was being meticulously planned, from the lighting to the decorations, and even the timing of the guest arrivals. Mom had been busy coordinating everything, leaving no stone unturned. She had initially envisioned a formal ball, complete with a gown, sparkling jewels, and a room filled with elegantly dressed guests. I had gently convinced her to let me wear something simple—a maroon dress, comfortable yet stylish, perfect

Chapter 35: Confessions and Chaos

KEIRA’S POV I walked toward the center of the hall, my heels clicking softly against the polished floor. The spotlight followed me, and a ripple of applause traveled through the crowd, warm and bright, yet it felt strangely distant. Every step I took seemed heavier than the last, my heart fluttering as I tried to focus on the smiles around me rather than the emptiness I felt searching for Drake’s face. But as I scanned the room, I realized he wasn’t here. Not yet. “She is celebrating her 22 years of existence on Earth!” the host’s voice boomed over the microphone, drawing laughter and cheerful murmurs from the guests. “And we are all here to celebrate it with her!” I felt my cheeks flush under the spotlight. The room suddenly felt enormous, filled with faces I barely knew, all staring at me. I forced my hands to stay steady as the host handed me the microph

Chapter 36: The Night the Lights Dimmed

KEIRA’S POVThe ballroom lights flickered softly against the crystal chandeliers as the last of the music faded into an uneasy hum. My birthday party—meant to be a night of bright lights, laughter, and new beginnings—had unraveled faster than anyone expected. The scent of expensive food and floral arrangements hung thick in the air, but none of it mattered. Not when the weight in my chest felt heavier than the room itself.“Make sure everything is sorted out,” Edward instructed the hotel staff, his voice steady despite the chaos. “Bring out some new food. Replace the ones that were disturbed.”His tone was controlled, but his eyes betrayed something else—regret, maybe. Or fear. I wasn’t sure.Mom stood beside him, still frozen, still processing everything that had happened. Her painted smile from earlier had vanished, replaced by shock she tried to hide but couldn’t. The guests kept whispering behind their champagne flutes, trying to piece together what had gone wrong.Who would’ve th

Chapter 37: A Night on the Edge of Breaking

KEIRA’S POV“Drake—what are you doing?!”He turned abruptly, the light catching the anger in his eyes. For a split second, I saw the boy who always carried his pain like a quiet burden. But tonight, it wasn’t quiet. Tonight, it was burning him alive.He jerked his bleeding hand away from my reach.“Don’t.” His voice sliced through the air. “Don’t touch me.”“Drake, look at your hand—there’s so much blood,” I insisted, trying again to reach for him, panic rising in my chest.He snapped.“Why do you care?!” His voice thundered, vibrating through the cold air. He grabbed my arm, his blood smearing against my skin. “Didn’t you say we should mind our own business?!”His grip was strong—not enough to hurt me, but enough to show how unsteady he was inside. Anger. Alcohol. Guilt. Grief. It was all swirling in him like a storm he couldn’t contain.But I refused to pull back.I took a deep breath, reached into my pocket with my free hand, and unfolded my handkerchief. Gently—though he was still

Chapter 38: When Desire Turns Dangerous

KEIRA’S POVDrake’s words echoed in my ears long after he said them—low, rough, and trembling with a desire he could no longer hide. For a moment, I simply stared at him, feeling my pulse hammering against my skin as if trying to break free.And then…Instead of stopping him.Instead of stepping back.Instead of choosing logic over longing,…I reached for him again.My fingers curled around the collar of his shirt as I leaned in and claimed his lips with a hunger that surprised even myself. His breath hitched in shock but only for a heartbeat. The next second, Drake was kissing me back—harder, deeper, as if my surrender had snapped whatever restraint he had left.His hand slid up my back, warm and demanding, before moving to my shoulder. He pulled at the strap of my dress, letting it slip down my skin with agonizing slowness. His lips left mine only long enough to descend to my jaw, then my neck, each kiss burning hotter than the last.My mind dissolved.My thoughts fractured.Every l

Chapter 39: Drunk Confessions, Dangerous Truths

KEIRA’S POVThe bar reeked of spilled alcohol and stale smoke, the dim lights casting long shadows that danced across the walls. Music thumped in the background, but it felt distant, almost like a heartbeat lost in the chaos of the room. My pulse quickened as I spotted Earl, swaying unsteadily on the pole-dancing stage, a beer bottle in one hand, his laughter loud and uncoordinated.Drake’s grip tightened on my arm, his eyes blazing with fury. “He’s drunk! Later, he’ll regret what he’s doing!” His voice was sharp, cutting through the ambient noise.I pulled my arm gently, trying to calm him. “Even if he’s drunk, he’s still my friend. He won’t do anything you’re imagining.”Drake’s jaw clenched. He let go of me, though the tension in his shoulders remained, rigid as steel. My eyes followed him, and I realized he wasn’t leaving—he wasn’t going anywhere. Not while Earl was near me.“Earl!” I called, trying to approach him carefully.“Hey! My heartbreaker friend is here!” he shouted, fling

Chapter 40: Shadows and Ties

KEIRA’S POV The night’s chaos still lingered in my chest as we drove toward the mansion. Earl slouched silently in the backseat, muttering under his breath, while Trisha chattered nervously beside me. My mind, however, was elsewhere—on Drake. Even from afar, I could sense him. His presence clung to me like gravity, silent yet undeniable, and my heart couldn’t help but respond. I wondered why he had to be so… intense. So impossible. So him. When we arrived, Drake’s sleek black AMG was parked neatly under the mansion lights. He stepped out just as I did, his dark eyes catching mine for the briefest moment. No words were exchanged, yet the tension wrapped around us like a living thing. “What are they doing here?” His voice, low and even, carried curiosity—and something sharper I couldn’t identify.
