When my shift ended, I found myself walking toward the corner table where Kael sat, his laptop closed now, a book in his hands. I stopped short when I saw the cover. ‘Knot We Cannot Untie.’ That was the book he was holding. I can't believe that Kael would be reading one of Linda Lively’s books. “You read… this?” I said, the surprise evidently in my voice. Kael looked up, one brow raised. “Why?

I wanted to walk around and finally enjoy the beauty of Paris. Under the Eiffel Tower, people bustled and flowed around me. I bought a cup of coffee and sipped it slowly as I admired the city. Suddenly, someone bumped into me, making my coffee tip dangerously. Right before it spilled on me, a passing man stretched out his hand and caught it. "Thank you," I said quickly, looking up. He was striking. He was handsome, gentle, and had an effortless elegance. "You’re welcome, mademoiselle," he replied with a warm smile, handing the coffee back before disappearing into the crowd.

Today, I'll let you taste what it feels like to lose the one you love. "One is the Donna who bled and fought for you. The other is the one you've sworn to protect. "I'm not unreasonable.

Randall immediately hid behind Alicia, his voice trembling as he exclaimed, "Save me, Alicia. T-They'll kill me!" Alicia didn't move. She remained where she was, her fingers clenched so tightly they had turned white, but her gaze was as cold as ice. "Get lost," she said quietly, but her voice rang loud and clear in everyone's ears. The leader froze for a moment before cackling darkly. "All debts must be repaid, Ms. Carter." "I said, get lost!" Alicia jumped into action. As a special forces soldier, close combat was nothing to her. She moved so quickly that no one could even keep up.

The only difference that set us apart was the fact that I pursued him for five long years. I was just about to leave when I received a text message from Julian. "I'll be waiting for your 100th proposal tomorrow." I smiled faintly before blocking his number and deleting every last trace of him from my contacts.
