Chapter 130: Interruption

As we'd agreed, Theo picked me up from the university and drove us to my favorite Japanese restaurant, the one we always go to.He'd already reserved a table for two, and we began looking over the menu to place our order. I felt wonderfully happy just being there with him.It took nearly 20 minutes for our food to arrive, but the wait didn't matter at all. He held my hand the entire time, being so warm and affectionate. We talked casually, and I told him about everything I'd done that day.When the dishes came out, he served me first before filling his own plate. The food was as delicious as always, and somehow even more so with him beside me.We were halfway through our meal, and everything seemed to be perfect at that moment when out of nowhere, Theo's phone buzzed, with Tiffany's name glowing on the screen.I recognized it instantly before he could even reach for it, and my smile faded into a tight frown. A knot of irritation twisted in my chest. What could she possibly need from hi

Chapter 131: Wait

"No! I said it's dangerous. You could get hurt." His tone was final, and I could see he wouldn't budge.Just then, his phone rang again. I didn't need to look to know who it was. It's Tiffany of course! "Hello, Tiffany... Yeah, I'm on my way now. I just need to drop Elyssa off first. Stay right there, okay? Shhh, it's alright. Don't cry. I'll be there as fast as I can." The tenderness in his voice, the way he soothed her, sent a wave of hot anger through me."Come on, let's go. I'll take you home now." He guided me toward the door in a rush, his attention already miles away."I'll just take a cab myself." The words burst out of me, sharp and bitter.After all, he was so eager to get to her. Why slow him down?"No way. I'm taking you home. I have to know you're safe. Please don't be stubborn, baby." He sounded almost desperate as he pleaded with me.I opened my mouth to argue, but then he pulled me close, his hand cupping my cheek gently."Please understand. I'll only be gone a little

Chapter 132: Betrayal

The next day, I called him over. No answer. My texts went unanswered too. Panic started to creep in, so I rushed to his penthouse. He wasn't there. His bed was perfectly made, untouched. He hadn't come home at all.I fumbled for my phone and dialed Jared's number, hoping he'd have some idea where Theo was. When he answered, his voice was gentle as he explained that he was the one on leave. That he'd taken the day off from the office, so he had no way of knowing if Theo had gone in or not. My heart sank a little deeper as I asked him to try reaching Theo anyway, but he'd already made several attempts. Each one went unanswered.Worry coiled in my stomach so tightly that the thought of sitting through classes felt unbearable. I couldn't concentrate on anything other than making sure he was safe. I grabbed whatever clothes were closest. I pulled on jeans and a sweater in a rush and headed out the door, my mind fixed on his office. I had to find out for myself if he was alright.Stepping

Chapter 133: Grief

When the elevator reached the ground floor, the doors flew open and I burst out. I raced toward the building's exit. My feet were flying. I knew he'd be right behind me, and I couldn't bear to face him a second longer.Outside, I spotted a taxi just dropping off a passenger. I darted forward and jumped in without hesitation.As I slammed the door shut, loud knocks rapped against the windshield. Theo was there, his hands gripping the glass as he tried to pull the door open."Elyssa, wait! Please get out so we can talk!" he pleaded, his voice cracking.Through blurry tears, I looked at him and shouted, "There's nothing left for us to talk about!""Sir, please drive now," I begged the driver, my voice breaking.He must have seen the pain on my face. He nodded quietly, started the engine, and pulled away. I watched through the back window as Theo ran after us, his figure growing smaller and smaller until he disappeared into the distance.I told the driver to take me to Lily's address, and

Chapter 134: Break-up

I was heading toward the waiting shed outside the university to hail a taxi when a familiar car pulled up right in front of me. It was Theo's.He jumped out before the engine had even fully stopped, striding over to where I stood. I fixed him with a stare as sharp and cold as ice. Every ounce of my anger burned in my eyes.How dare he show up here like this? I thought bitterly. I'd spent weeks wishing he'd pick me up from school like he used to, but lately he'd only managed it once in a great while. He always said he was too busy. Now here he was. He was coming to get me only because he knew I was furious with him. Typical. He only ever seemed to do things right when he'd already done something wrong.But this time, I told myself firmly, I wouldn't let his gestures soften me."Come on, baby. Get in the car," he said. His voice was as gentle and warm as it had always been when he was trying to make things right. His eyes were full of what looked like genuine pleading, but I refused to

Chapter 135: Finality

I watched as he froze completely, his face draining of color. Shock washed over him first, then a wave of raw pain that flashed across his eyes the moment my words landed."W-What do you mean?" he stammered, his hands trembling slightly. "B-Baby, I know I messed up. I shouldn't have let things get that close with Tiffany. And what you saw... it didn't mean anything." He leaned forward and took my hand gently, but I pulled it back so fast it made him flinch."I'm done. We're over," I said, my voice firm even as my chest tightened with pain."Please, baby. I made a mistake. I got carried away, I let myself be tempted for just a second. But it was only that one stupid moment."The truth of his admission hit me like a punch to the gut. Hearing him say it out loud that he had cheated, that he'd been swayed by her, sent fresh tears burning down my cheeks."No matter what you say, I've made up my mind. It's over." This time, I couldn't stop the sobs from breaking through."Please don't be ra

Chapter 136: Choice

I know exactly what I saw that day and nothing will ever change the truth of it. He betrayed me, and I can't bring myself to accept it, no matter how hard I try to make sense of it. Not even if he says he was just swayed, just tempted. The fact remains, he desired her, he kissed her back, and that means he cheated on me. Every time I think about it, it feels like I'm drowning in a sea of knives.Knowing I wasn't enough for him, that he could look at me and say he loved me, then turn around and want someone else, hurts more than anything in the world. It's like the ground beneath my feet has crumbled away, leaving me with nothing to hold on to.I trusted him with everything I had. Even when jealousy nagged at me about Tiffany, even when doubts crept in like shadows, I pushed them down and forced myself to believe his words. I held on tight to every promise he made, every "I love you" he whispered. That night I waited for him, I told myself he'd come back, that he'd kept his word about

Chapter 137: Protect

Theo's POV: That night, Tiffany's frantic call shattered the quiet intimacy of my date with Elyssa. Her voice, choked with tears and raw fear after an encounter with her ex, immediately pulled at my concern. Without a second thought, I quickly dropped Elyssa off and raced to the bar where Tiffany was.I found her huddled in a corner by the bar counter, tears streaming down her face, while a few women, whom I presumed were offering comfort, surrounded her. Two police officers stood nearby, having responded to the incident.The moment her eyes met mine, she sprang from her seat, rushing into my arms, her sobs echoing against my chest."What happened?" I asked, my voice laced with worry as I noticed the busted corner of her lip and the angry red mark on her right cheek, a cruel testament to a slap."I was just hanging out with my friends, and he suddenly showed up. I tried to get away, but he was so persistent, forcing me to go with him. I refused, so he hurt me." Through her tears, she

Chapter 138: Confession

The moment I stepped into the office, the usual calm of my workspace was replaced by a flurry of activity. My secretary was already waiting by my desk with a thick stack of folders and forms, pressing them into my hands as she quickly listed off urgent deadlines and pending approvals. With so much workload piling up right away, I completely forgot to make the call I'd planned to Elyysa. Each signature and review took my full attention as I settled into my chair and dove into the paperwork.I'd been at my desk for nearly an hour, pen moving steadily across pages and my computer screen glowing with spreadsheets, when the door to my office swung open without warning. It was Tiffany, her shoulders slightly tense as she stepped inside. She had found her way there just a short while after we'd both arrived at work."Hey, do you have a minute?" she greeted, a tentative smile on her lips."Oh, Tiffany. I'm a little busy right now. Do you have something to say?" I asked, my gaze subtly returni

Chapter 139: Ruins

And despite every rational part of me screaming to pull back, there was no denying the intense heat of the moment. Her lips were soft against mine, her tongue sliding past my teeth with practiced ease, a slick, demanding rhythm that sent jolts of sensation through my body. I'd been on edge for days now, every nerve frayed by stress and the growing distance between me and Elyssa. Our last few attempts at intimacy had been a few weeks ago; my packed work schedule has left us with barely any time for each other, leaving a hollow ache I'd desperately tried to push aside.That emptiness roared to life under her touch. A wave of raw, scorching lust pulled at me like a riptide, hot and dangerous. For a split, dizzying second, all thought vanished. I found my hand hovering over her waist, my body leaning into hers of its own accord, tempted to match the fever of her kiss, to give in to what felt so recklessly easy and wrong.Tiffany moved with deliberate, practiced grace. Every shift and sway
