“Then how would you explain what happened between the both of you, huh?” Natasha snapped at him, her voice filled with anger and jealousy. “Or are you trying to tell me that my source was lying? Are you saying that the person who told me about the two of you didn’t actually see you both together?” She asked, glaring at Liam and waiting for him to speak.Liam’s expression remained calm, but there was a small smirk at the corner of his lips like he had been expecting this question all along. He turned slowly to Natasha, shaking his head as if he was more disappointed in her. “Your source isn’t lying, Natasha,” he said, holding her cheek with both of his hands. “And even I myself was going to tell you what happened. I wanted to tell you everything before you heard it from someone else. You know I'm not the kind of person to keep things from you. I’d never do such a thing.” He tucked her hair behind her ear., his voice softening like he was trying to soothe her anger, but every word he s

“Wait, did I just hear you say Nolan?” Natasha asked with a loud scoff, her eyes widening as she pointed at him with so much mockery in her face. “So this is the good-for-nothing brother you’ve been yapping to me about all this while Jayla? Oh my God, I can’t believe this. You made me think your brother was such a great person, someone that would impress me, but I am so, so disappointed with what I am seeing right now. I thought he would be much better than the way you always talk about him, but he is way worse than I could ever imagine. You both are so pathetic, and I can clearly see why you are siblings. It makes perfect sense now.” She scoffed again, shaking her head as she eyed Nolan up and down like he was dirt under her feet.“Yes, Nolan,” she continued with a sneer, stressing his name mockingly. “Listen to your sister and get the hell out of here right now because, just like she already said, there is absolutely no way you can win this and you don’t even stand a chance.”Liam,

There was no love in Liam’s mum’s voice, no softness, never the kind of warmth other people described when they talked about their mothers. For him, it had always been coldness, bitterness, and blame.The truth was, Liam knew the reason. He was a twin and once had someone who shared the same face with him, but because of his reckless and stupid behaviour, his twin died. His carelessness cost him a brother, and it also cost him his mother’s love and from that day, his mum never looked at him the same way again. She couldn’t forgive him and she didn’t even try to. Every time she saw his face, it was a reminder of what she had lost. So now, seeing her name flashing on the screen made his heart drop. He swallowed hard, his throat dry as he wondered what exactly could make her call him now of all times. His heart raced faster the longer the phone rang in his hand. Could something have happened? Or was she just calling to remind him once again of the pain he had caused her and how she wo

Natasha tried to stand up, pushing at Jayla, but a third slap landed, harder than the first two, and she lost her balance, stumbling backward and collapsing onto the floor for a moment. The girls around them gasped and fell silent, shocked at what was happeningJayla breathed heavily, her chest heaving, as she stared down at Natasha with a fierceness she hadn’t known she had. Her hand throbbed and tears still burned in her eyes, but there was a relief she felt knowing that the person who had humiliated her was the one now on the floor. She couldn’t believe she had done it but she was proud that she did. Nolan couldn't believe that Jayla actually slapped Natasha and he thought that she wouldn't be able to because of how timid she was, but to his surprise, she did and he was proud of her. He hated to see that what he had to go through in school was what his sister too was facing in her school, and he wanted hers to be different. He wanted her to be able to stand for herself and not le

“Damn it!” Nolan cursed loudly, slamming his palm hard against the steering wheel in frustration, making Jayla flinch.Her voice trembled as she asked again. “What’s going on, Nolan? Please, tell me what’s happening…”Nolan took a deep breath, clearly trying to control his anger and frustration at the same time. “Just stay inside the car, okay? Don’t open the door and don’t say anything. Just stay put and I’ll handle this.”Before Jayla could argue or say anything more, Nolan had already pushed the car door open and stepped out quickly, his tall figure blocking her view for a second. Jayla called after him but he ignored her completely and walked towards the boys who were closing in on him, leaving Jayla inside the car. Ethan and his boys had been trying to track Nolan down for a while now. They had already circled the road almost two times, moving up and down like restlessly, their eyes scanning everywhere for any trace of him. Ethan’s anger and frustration were building with every
