Kanya's POV I didn't sleep well. Sydney’s words played on a loop in my mind, echoing through the empty spaces of the room. Zane had lied. He hadn’t been at the boutiques at all, and he hadn’t been with her. But why? Why did he lie? Was he trying to make me jealous, or was he simply trying to make me suffer more by letting me believe he was with her? I tossed and turned for most of the night, my mind racing with questions I couldn't answer. I had only managed a few hours of restless sleep when the insistent ringing of my phone alarm jolted me awake. I reached for the device, squinting at the screen. The date stared back at me: April 19th. A notification popped up on the calendar, a cruel reminder of what was supposed to be our fourth anniversary. I sat on the edge of the bed and felt a sharp pang of grief. It stung that he had ended everything just days before this milestone. Now the date was nothing more than a ghost of a life we no longer shared. It stung more than I was willing
