Bas POVI really wanted to look at her, into those beautiful hazel eyes. Even if it was just for a moment, I wanted to see her. But I couldn’t. I knew that if our eyes met, I would lose whatever little self-control I had left. Just like last night when I was I was torn between giving in to my desires and listening to the voice telling me to stop. I did the right thing by stopping but I won’t lie, part of me wished I didn’t listen to that voice telling me to stop. I wished I could’ve kept kissing her, exploring every inch of her, all night long. But that couldn’t happen. We couldn’t get attached. Our lives were fated for an unfortunate prophecy, and I couldn’t allow anything to stop that. It was crucial, and I couldn’t bear to watch my father disappointed again. But the mere thought of her lifeless body overwhelmed me, suffocating me with a pain I couldn't understand. It was as if the air had turned heavy, pressing down on my chest. Was it too late? When had I let my guards down and

It had been three days since Austin told me about Tom’s little secret, and throughout these days, I kept asking myself, maybe just maybe there was a reason. But no matter how much I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, there were still some dots that didn’t fit in. Austin had suggested we go after him and confront him, but I suggested we wait. Confrontation could backfire, and the truth might remain buried. But deep down, I couldn’t fathom the fact that Tom would ever betray me. I know he won’t.“Are you just going to stand there or let me in?” Tom said, his grin stretching across his face. My hand tightened on the doorknob. When Tom wasn’t around, I felt more certain that he wouldn’t betray me. But now, standing before me, doubt crept in. What if he couldn’t be trusted? With a forced smile, I slowly opened the door, welcoming him inside.“Ugghhh, it’s so good to be back,” he sighed, sinking into the couch. I avoided his gaze as I headed to the kitchen, my mind racing with un

Becca POV“I can’t believe prom’s just a few days from now,” Lola exclaimed with a squeak as we strolled down the hallway.Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she bounced on her toes, unable to contain her enthusiasm.“Guess who’s auditioning for prom queen – me! I can’t wait to rub it in Maddy’s face when Carter and I are crowned king and queen.”“Yeah, great,” I replied absentmindedly, my gaze wandering off into the distance. My shoulders slouched with uncertainty, and my brows furrowed as I got lost in my thoughts. Weeks had passed since the CCW, and here I was, more confused than ever. My plans of getting closer to Bas and using him to my advantage had failed miserably. He avoided me, and I didn’t have the courage to face him. And let’s not even talk about the book. I couldn’t even tell Ravi all that happened; how could I tell him about what happened with me and Bas?Lost in my thoughts, I didn’t realize Lola had stopped talking and was now staring at me intently.

BAS POV I tried to ignore it all the rapid thud of her heart, the way her breath hitched, the sound of her hurried steps. I'd set boundaries, drawn lines, but here I was, crossing them once more. Her hazel eyes widened at my sudden appearance, and I couldn't tear my gaze away from her, dressed in the gown I'd sent. She looked stunning, and for a moment, I was lost in her beauty. Approaching her slowly, I stood before her, unable to contain my admiration. "Breathtaking," I murmured, unable to find a word that could adequately capture her essence.

This wasn't right. "I... I should leave," I muttered, turning to go, but her words stopped me in my tracks. "I

No. Would I do it again? Absolutely. For once, I wasn't going to heed the voices in my head; I was going to follow my heart.Perched on the counter, I watched Bas.

As I stirred in his spacious bed, the sheets carried his fragrance, as if he were still beside me. Opening my eyes slowly, I realized he wasn’t beside me once again.
