Extolled beneath the canopy for a while and felt my entire being calm down as 1 breathed in the scent of the foliage and earth.
“Do you have any classes today?” Liam caught up from behind. “Let me take you out for a nice meal”
Recently, the nature of my relationship with Liam had become quite strange. We were neither friends nor toes.
While could still remember the pain he had caused me in my previous life, I could also see the support he was offering me this time around.
“I don’t want to dine with you.” I stopped dead in my tracks and waited for him to reach me
“For the record, I don’t like Ethan, and I like you even less, so please just pretend you don’t know me when you see me in trouble next time.” With that, I left without a backward glance..
The courses in the fashion design department weren’t very demanding, and we often had classes outside the classroom
In the morning, we visited a fabric production facility to learn about the basic fabric manufacturing processes and didn’t return until noon.
By the time we returned to
campus, the cafeteria had already closed. However, I wasn’t hungry, so I decided to skip lunch and head back to my dorm. While I was on my way, I received a call from Lyla. Her military training lasted longer than ours, and she was still practicing drills. JEK
Lyla sounded so upset when she called me during her break. “Eve, I should’ve gone to St. Nicholas University with you! I’m in such a horrible school in Haris! I’ve been in military training for almost a month, and I’ve gotten so canned 1 look like a completely different person! I look awful!”
Her words made me laugh. After returning to the dorm, I set my bag down and sipped some water. “Send me a picture then.”
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line before she huffed, “I see how it is you don’t care about me anymore!
“I can’t believe you want to see me at my worst! I’m no longer your favorite person anymore. I bet you’ve already found someone else. You don’t love me anymore!” Lyla pretended
to sob
“Nonsense!” I sat at my desk and booted up my computer to check if there were any replies from the fashion design companies
“You’re the only one I love, and you’re still my favorite person. My roommate recommended me a sunscreen a while ago. I’ll order it for you in a bit, and y works”
Lyla perked up immediately. “Yay! Thanks a bunch! You’re the best!
we bichered for a while, just as we were about to end the call, she hesitated for a moment before saying, “By the way. I came ac
what photo?”
“You’ll see,” she said maschievously before hanging up the phone
As soon as the call ended, I received a message from Lyla Topened it and immediately frowned.
and you can try it out to see if it
across a photo this morning. I’ll send it to you in a bit.
it was a photo of Ethan and Issing in an alleyway on the night of our graduation party. In the photo, he had me pinned against the wall, and my eyes were red and teary from his forceful kiss
That image, no matter how many times I looked at it, seemned… lewd. For some reason, it also made my heart tace, Ethan’s gaze held a possessiveness thad never noticed t Thad no idea who had taken the photo, but I was aware that I would be in serious trouble if Ethan’s grandfather saw it. I texted Lyla and asked her where she got the photo. I got up and walked over to the window, pacing back and forth. The person I feared the most in this time wasn’t Ethan, Lain, or even Jack. It was Ln, Ethan’s grandfather I could make plans to leave my family, but only if I was certain I had something to hold over jack, preventing him from taking any action against me, lan, on the other hand, was before
dillerent story.
If he wanted to get rid of me, he could just give lack a large sum of money and hire a few people to capture me. Then, I’d be effortlessly erased from their world. At that point, I’d be completely powerless, with no way to escape or seek help
