  Ryker's POV I tried calling Leo again before I finally stepped into my dorm.Again.The call rang until it went straight to voicemail. I stared at my phone screen, my fingers tightening around it. I had already called him twice, and both times there had been nothing. No answer.No message.Nothing.I stood outside the dorm door for a few seconds longer, my mind running in circles. What if paying my tuition was his way of saying goodbye?What if this was his grand farewell gift because he knew he couldn't stay? The thought made my chest ache.Because knowing Leo, that was exactly the kind of thing he would do. He would rather destroy himself quietly than look me in the eye and admit that he couldn't keep doing this.But this wasn't some small goodbye gift.This was my entire future.I

Catherine's POVI should have followed my first instinct.I should have mentioned Padrino from the very beginning.The moment Leo started acting like he suddenly had a choice, like he could just throw away months of plans and expectations because of some stupid obsession, I should have reminded him exactly who he was dealing with.But maybe it was better this way.Because now, the fear in his eyes was real.Leo could be stubborn. He could be arrogant. He could be impossible.But he wasn't stupid.He knew what happened when someone crossed Padrino.The last time Leo tried to challenge him by refusing to give that speech, he disappeared for weeks.And when he finally came back, he had an injury and a story about some accident.I remember how worried I was when I couldn't reach him and how I asked so many questions.

Leo’s POVThe house was empty there was no sound of Catherine moving around. No footsteps following mine. No quiet reminders that she was there.I couldn’t even remember where she said she was going.And honestly?I was glad.For the last month, Catherine had practically become attached to me.Everywhere I went, she was there.Every meeting, every event, every place I had to be, she somehow found a reason to come along.It was suffocating.I knew she was trying to fix things between us, but the harder she tried, the more I felt myself pulling away.Especially because every time I looked at her, I thought about Ryker.I hadn’t seen him.I hadn’t texted him.I hadn’t called him.Because I didn’t know how I was supposed to see his face and then come back here and lie beside Catherine like everything was normal.Like I wasn’t thinking about someone else.Like my heart wasn’t somewhere else.The worst part was that Catherine had become more physical too.At night, she would try to touch me
