All Chapters of We Never Really Said Goodbye: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kamelia was just about to open the door when she suddenly stopped. She turned toward Tiar, who was still standing in the middle of the room with a tense expression. “Tiar.” Her voice sounded soft, completely different from a few minutes ago. Tiar simply looked at her. “What now?”Kamelia walked toward him without answering. Her steps were slow, as if she deliberately wanted him to notice every movement. When only a few steps remained between them, Tiar began to feel uncomfortable. “Kamelia, I think our conversation is over.”“Not yet.”Before Tiar could ask what she meant, Kamelia suddenly wrapped her arms around him.Tiar’s body immediately stiffened. His hands instinctively rose, trying to create distance between them. “Kamelia, let go.”Kamelia only smiled against his shoulder. “Why? Afraid someone might see us?”“That’s not the point. I simply don’t like you doing this.”“I’m only hugging you.”“Let go.”

The hotel looked exactly the same as it had that night. Tiar stood outside the seventh-floor elevator, staring down the quiet hallway. A few days ago, this place had only held painful memories of his argument with Laya. Now, every corner felt like a piece of a puzzle he needed to solve. He took out his phone and opened the CCTV image he had received. The man in the dark jacket had stopped directly in front of Room 708. But what bothered Tiar wasn’t simply his presence. It was when he had appeared. Tiar asked the security staff to show him more footage from that night. At first, they refused, but after Tiar explained that the footage might be connected to a serious privacy violation, they eventually agreed to help. “Go back a few minutes before this man appears.” The footage played again. The hallway was empty. Then the elevator doors opened. A man st

Laya returned to her desk and tried to focus on the computer screen. There was more than enough work waiting for her, but her mind kept drifting back to her encounter with Mike.It should have been nothing more than a coincidence. At least, that was what she wanted to believe. Yet somehow, his smile kept appearing in her thoughts. The way he had remembered her favorite drink. Hot chocolate. Such a small detail. Something even Tiar might have forgotten.Laya sighed and forced herself to concentrate. Then her phone vibrated.One notification.An unknown number.She stared at the screen for several seconds before opening it.You shouldn’t trust everyone who comes back into your life.Her heart immediately began to beat faster. She read the message again. No name. No explanation. Just one sentence that felt more like a warning than advice.Her mind immediately went to Mike.No.Laya slowly shook he

Laya remained inside her car for several minutes after reading the final message.The night you disappeared.The words kept echoing inside her head. She wanted to dismiss them, to believe it was just another misunderstanding, another meaningless piece of information. But deep down, something had already begun to crack.Because she knew the truth.She couldn’t remember everything about that night. She remembered Tiar. She remembered the hotel. She remembered the fear, the confusion, and the feeling that something had gone terribly wrong. But there were pieces missing, pieces she had never questioned because she had been too consumed by everything that happened between her and Tiar afterward.For months, she had focused on what she thought Tiar had done. She had never stopped to ask herself what had happened to her.When she finally returned to her apartment, she didn’t even bother changing her clothes. She went straight to he

That night, Laya didn’t go home. Her car stopped on a quiet roadside, the glow of a minimarket across the street casting the only light across her face.Tiar’s message was still open on her screen.I think she knows more than she’s been telling us.Kamelia.The name refused to leave her mind.Laya had always thought Kamelia was nothing more than an overly confident woman openly chasing Tiar. But the more she thought about it, the less everything felt like a coincidence.Kamelia had appeared when her relationship with Tiar was at its weakest. The photos of their closeness surfaced at exactly the right moment. Even the details surrounding that night kept finding their way back to Laya through people connected to Kamelia.She typed.What did you find?A few minutes later, Tiar replied.I checked the date of the photo Kamelia showed me.Laya immediately sat upright.And?
