Sya's POV:
I was lying in my bed to get a 'good night’s sleep' as quoted by Kane. The thought of his handsome face brought a smile to my face.
The way he cares about me, the way he smiles, his cute acts that make my heart go on a crazy frenzy, and his gorgeous eyes always luring me into their depth. Whenever I'm with him how I forget every pain of my life is really amazing. I never thought that someone would actually make me feel so special.
However, does he really feel special about me? Or is this only me reading too much into things because no person has ever treated me so nicely? Even in school, everyone would freak out as soon as they'd see me. No guy has ever treated me nicely. Oh, come on Sya! Treated?! No guy has ever even talked to you!
Ouch! Well, that hurt! I mentally rolled my eyes. But now, when someone is treating me nicely that doesn't mean he likes me. Yeah, right! He doesn't look
Kane's POV:It would be a lie if I said I was not worried. Because I was worried sick for my mate's safety! What if that jerk John beat her again? The thought alone made my heartache but also angered me to the point where I wanted to tear him apart limb by limb. My heart hurt for Sya. I wanted to be with her every minute. I wanted to hold her in my arms to keep her safe from this cruel world. I was wrong when I said I didn't need her. Heck, I crave for her! I want to protect her!If I hadn't rejected her that night then she would not have been in this situation. She wouldn't be suffering from all that torture if I had taken care of her as my mate! Obviously, I wouldn't have started a relationship with a 10-year-old. But I could have supported her and have kept a check on her guardians until she turned 18. But what now? I had already messed up everything! She is in pain now just because I was selfish all th
Sya's POV:My jaw dropped when I stepped out of the car and took my time adjusting to the fact that Kane lived in this huge of a house. Not even a house. It was a mansion! And so beautiful too. I never imagined Kane would be this wealthy. Other rich kids at college never missed a chance to show off a new exclusive Gucci bag or a Rolex watch or BMW. But Kane had never let it be known to people that he was this rich.My heart fluttered. The guy just wants me to melt.The mansion was all black and oh so modern and beautiful. Most of the second floor was made of glass panels while the exterior walls had a black brick texture to them. Even though it was all black, it didn't give off that whole ‘spooky vibe’. Instead, it was perfectly sophisticated and only looked more magnificent and luxurious.Kane walked up to my side and closed my open mouth with his finger beneath my chin. A furious blush crept to my face becaus
Sya's POV: The sun rose the next day and I was ready to leave just as I had decided. Although I had no place in mind to go to but I couldn't let myself be a burden to someone, especially Kane. After I went down in the nightclothes Cara had given me to wear, to tell Kane I was ready to leave, he wouldn't listen. He made me shut my mouth by saying, "You have no place to live right now and we have no issue with you being here. You can stay here as long as you want." He had almost snapped at me and him getting mad at me was the last thing I wanted to see. I decided to accept his offer and promised myself that as soon I got my first paycheck from the café, I would search for a place on rent though I was not sure how much money Jason would actually give me since I skipped the day after Kane made that mess. A week passed by after that, pretty uneventful. Kane and Bryson got my stuff from my Aunt's house. They never told me h
Sya's POV: Kane and I stepped into the almost empty hallway, happily enjoying our moment together as we walked to our first class. Horror washed through me when Kane opened the door to the classroom and the entire room fell silent. But the thing that dreaded me the most wasn't the sudden silence or the jealous glares of other girls on watching me and Kane together. It was the fact that my best friend was sitting at her desk with an angry scowl resting on her face. Her eyes dropped to my hand in Kane's and her scowl only deepened. She glared at me for a moment and then turned her face away. Before I had a chance to say something to her or do anything, the teacher entered the class and I took my seat beside her. The whole time she wouldn't talk to me or even look at me and that was killing me from inside. Guilt was eating me alive as I looked at her indifferent presence through the corners of my eyes. That day when John planned to murder
Sya's POV: "No way! I'm not wearing this!" I protested but, of course, it fell on deaf ears. Hannah nonetheless thrust the dress back into my arms. It was so beautiful but the problem was, it was too revealing. I didn't have a problem with the whole ‘revealing' part but I did have a problem with showing my body. I had such ugly scars all over it. And a fresh one from the recent beating John had given me. In addition to that, the other old scars, although not that prominent anymore, could be still seen. I can't wear this. Kane will surely feel repulsive. He will think I'm ugly. I don't think I can bear to see the disgust in his eyes for me when all I've seen up till now is love. Hannah squeezed my shoulder as if she had read my mind and gave me an encouraging smile. "You will look beautiful in this dress, Sy. You know what? There are so many people out there with flawless bodies but they have very ugly scars on their soul
Sya's POV: As soon as we were inside, Hannah and I dragged the boys around a lot. We stopped by the arcade games first, playing The Dead Man's Cove and Shoot The Ducks. Bryson won a blue koala, which he gave to a very chirpy Hannah. Kane won a brown teddy bear for me. Then we went outside where there were so many rides. None of us knew which of them were the most fun except Hannah so she took us all to different ones, ones I didn’t even know existed. We rode the classic Merry-go-round, the Ferris Wheel (Kane and I took our own car and it was hard for him to keep his hands to himself), Dodgem cars, Infinity, and the Helter-Skelter. We were famished afterward so the boys bought us dinner. Pizza and fries for us girls and only cold drinks for the boys. We had so much fun we didn't even notice the boys not eating at all. We were heading back to our car to go home, content smiles gracing each one of our faces. Tonight couldn't be any bette
Sya'sPOV: I swung my legs around, munching on the apple in my hand. I was sitting on the kitchen stool, near the kitchen island, and chatting casually with Cara as she did the dishes after dinner. I did ask her to let me help her but she refused and forcefully put me on the stool. Turned out, she was great company. She was funny, smart and I didn't even realize she was an old woman. Well, she hadn't come off that way the first time I met her anyway. A smile made its way to my lips as I remembered how she'd teased Kane the night she first saw me. Speaking of wh
Kane'sPOV: I watched as Sya dragged her ‘cousin' Edi to her room, both arms linked with his right one. Edi's presence was boiling my blood and I couldn’t keep my eyes away from where his filthy hand had been lying on her shoulder. It wasn't Sya whom I didn't trust. I trusted her with my entire existence, trusted her love. It was that stupid Edison who was making the back of my hand itch. The way he was looking at Sya, even a fool could tell he liked her. No doubt my innocent mate had no idea her ‘cousin' was crushing on her. She was too gullible to notice stuff like that. Heck, she hadn't even realized I liked her until I said the words even though I went around slamming people into tables and trash cans for her. My rage had reached its peak when she suggested he stay in her room. Just the thought was enough to make me want to punch the dude to pieces but I refrained. And obviously, caved into Sya's puppy dog eyes. But the thoug
