CHAPTER 431
At that moment, upon hearing what Soma’s father just said, his elder brother’s jaw immediately tightened. His lips pressed into a thin line, his hands curled into fists beneath the table where no one could see, and a sharp flicker of annoyance flashed in his eyes. But outwardly, he held the smile. That practiced, polite, empty smile that hid the chaos boiling underneath.Deep down in his mind, he was already cursing Soma’s father.Look at this fool, he thought, this crazy bastard sitting there, acting like some self-made saint. Trying to make it look like he pulled all of this off on his own. Like he climbed the mountain alone, without a rope, without a hand to hold. Who the hell does he think he’s fooling?He wanted to slam his palm against the table, shout in his face, rip the truth out of him. Instead, he just smiled wider so wide it hurt and tilted his head, pretending to nod in agreement.You want to hoard it all for yourself? he continued in his thoughts. You want to sit there a
CHAPTER 432
At that moment, without wasting any more time, Soma hurried toward the door, her footsteps light but urgent. Her fingers gripped the doorknob with a quiet tension, and she took a quick breath before slowly turning it open. As the door creaked slightly, her eyes met the familiar face she was expecting Jason.She wasn’t surprised in the slightest. In fact, she had already guessed it would be him the moment the doorbell rang. But what caught her off guard and oddly brought a wave of relief was how he was dressed. Jason stood there in a plain black T-shirt, dark jeans, and sneakers. No flashy chains, no fancy watch, no polished shoes or luxurious cologne that could draw unnecessary attention.Just simple. Casual. Safe.Soma let out a silent sigh of relief. Thank goodness. If Jason had shown up in one of his usual bold outfits gold rings flashing, designer suit glowing under the light her uncle’s hawk-like instincts would’ve gone into full alert. But seeing Jason like this? Calm. Unbothere
CHAPTER 433
At that moment, upon seeing the look of disappointment clearly written on his elder brother’s face, Soma’s father couldn’t help but feel a quiet wave of satisfaction rise within him. It wasn’t just subtle it was written all over the man’s face. The tension in his jaw, the brief way his eyes avoided Jason, and the tightness in his smile. Soma’s father had known his brother long enough to read him like an open book. That familiar look the one that always came when something didn’t go as expected was loud and clear.And truthfully, it made him glad.Glad that his brother wasn’t pleased.Glad that Jason had unintentionally pushed against whatever assumption or expectation his elder brother had built in his head.Because if there was anything that gave Soma’s father peace at that moment, it was knowing that his brother was not interested in Jason not because Jason had done anything wrong, but because it meant there would be fewer meddling hands trying to manipulate things from behind the s
CHAPTER 434
At that moment, Jason would let out a quiet scoff, almost as if he was trying to convince himself not to be annoyed.“Oh, so Camilla didn’t call you to threaten you?” he said, leaning back slightly in his chair. His voice carried a faint, sarcastic edge. “So that’s not even the reason you asked me to come up here? You didn’t call me just to talk about her?”He looked at Soma, trying to read her face, trying to figure out where this was going. But what caught him off guard was the way Soma flinched just a little not with fear, but as if he had just touched on something she hadn’t prepared to admit yet.Soma’s lips parted, and for a second, she didn’t speak. Her eyes dropped to the floor. It was like Jason’s guess had brushed too close to the truth but not quite.“Yes,” she finally said, lifting her head again, her tone calm but slightly uneasy. “Camilla did call me. I’m not going to lie about that.”Jason raised his brows sharply, his expression shifting.“But,” Soma continued quickly,
CHAPTER 435
At that moment, upon hearing what Jason just said, Soma's whole body tensed slightly. She couldn’t bring herself to look directly into his eyes anymore. The weight of his words pressed hard on her chest, and suddenly, the room felt smaller, quietertoo quiet. Her eyes drifted to the floor, then to the window, then to the side of her bed anywhere but him.Jason noticed her silence. He didn’t mean to sound harsh, but something about the way Soma was dancing around the topic made him lose his patience. He leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees, voice firmer now, but not angry.“Soma, are you pretending or what?” he asked, eyes locked on her. “Or you didn’t hear what I said just now?”Soma’s lips parted slightly, but no words came out.Jason kept going, his voice sharp but steady. “It seems like you’ve got something on your mind. So I’m asking you directly, and I want a direct answer. Do you actually want us to have something between us? Like… do you want us to date? Or are you ju
CHAPTER 436
At that moment, Jason stepped in closer, his eyes locked directly on Soma’s face. His tone wasn’t angry it was calm, steady, but there was a weight in his voice, like he needed to understand something deeper. He tilted his head slightly, studying her with quiet intensity.“What exactly is giving you the mindset that we’ll be divided after all of this?” he asked, not harshly, but with genuine confusion. “You think just because you open up, we’re going to fall apart? Is that what’s making you so scared, Soma?”Soma looked away, unable to keep holding his gaze. Her fingers twisted together in front of her, knuckles pale. She didn’t speak right away, but her silence said a lot. Jason didn’t interrupt. He let the silence sit there, thick and heavy, until finally Soma gave a small nod.Then, still not looking at him, she whispered, “Yes.”Jason blinked, caught off guard by how small that word sounded coming from her. She slowly lifted her head, forcing herself to meet his eyes. And then the
CHAPTER 437
At that moment, Jason turned fully to face Soma. His brows furrowed slightly, not in anger, but in concern and gentle frustration. His voice was calm, yet full of emotion as he asked, “Soma… if we both love each other this much, then why? Why are we holding back? What exactly are we still waiting for?”His hand didn’t let go of hers. In fact, he gripped it tighter, grounding her. “I’ve told you how I feel. Every word I said came straight from my heart, Soma. I’m not joking. I’m not playing. I’m serious about you. About us.”He searched her eyes, his heart pounding as if hoping her next words would finally unlock the last thing standing between them.Soma looked down for a moment. Her fingers trembled slightly in his grip. She swallowed hard and let out a quiet sigh. Then, in a soft, shaky voice, she began to speak.“I know, Jason. I know you’re being honest. That’s why this is even harder.”She slowly raised her eyes back to his, her expression conflicted.“I’m scared. That’s why I’ve
CHAPTER 438
At that moment, hearing Jason's voice again, Soma slowly lifted her head. Her eyes fluttered uncertainly, and for a brief second, they met his but only for a heartbeat. Her face flushed pink, and her gaze darted away immediately, as though the intensity of his presence was too much to bear. She bit her lower lip, shyly tucking a few strands of her hair behind her ear. Her heart was pounding so loud in her chest, it echoed in her ears.Jason didn’t move. He didn’t raise his voice. But his tone came again, gentle, firm, and laced with something deeper.“Soma… look at me.”There was something about the way he said it. Not a demand, not a plea but something in between. Something that told her this moment mattered.She turned again, this time slowly, and finally looked at him.Jason didn’t smile. He didn’t blink.“Not just look at me,” he said, voice soft but heavy. “I mean look at me. Eyeball to eyeball.”Soma’s chest rose and fell sharply. Her fingers gripped the bedsheet beneath her lik
CHAPTER 439
At that moment, upon hearing everything Jason had just poured out from his heart, Soma lowered her gaze for a moment, as if holding onto a fragile thought. Then, slowly, she raised her head, her voice barely above a whisper, yet filled with something that sounded like uncertainty mixed with longing.“Jason… I hope you're serious about what you just said,” she said quietly, her fingers gently pressing into the fabric beneath her. “I hope you're not going to leave me behind… not when your journey starts getting tough. I hope you're not going to change your mind along the way. I just… I really hope you're serious about this.”Her voice trembled slightly at the end, not out of doubt in Jason but out of fear that maybe… just maybe… her happiness was too good to be true. That maybe one day, he would look back and realize she was the weight slowing him down. Her eyes flickered with the fear of abandonment, of being stranded in a place where she had allowed herself to be vulnerable.Jason did
CHAPTER 440
At that moment, Soma felt her body tense up. As Jason’s lips pressed softly against hers, her first instinct was to push him away not because she didn’t want it, but because the moment came so suddenly, so unexpectedly, that her mind couldn’t catch up. Her hand moved halfway into the air, trembling, ready to press against his chest and stop what was happening.But then… her hand froze.Just like that, in the middle of the kiss, she couldn’t move it anymore. Her fingers hovered in the air, shaking slightly. Her eyes were still wide, staring at the closeness between them. In that frozen moment, something hit her.Why am I even thinking of pushing him away?This was what she had been waiting for. This was what she had silently wished for prayed for ever since she began falling for him. This was her first kiss. Her very first kiss. The one she always imagined would come from someone who truly cared about her. And Jason… Jason was that someone.The realization softened her.Her hand slowly
