CHAPTER 409
At that moment, upon hearing what Soma just said those few words confirming her feelings for Jason Camilla stood frozen, her lips slightly parted, her chest rising and falling with shallow, angry breaths. Her eyes widened for a second, then narrowed sharply as a scoff escaped her mouth. The silence between them felt loud and tense, almost unbearable.Camilla shook her head slowly, her voice laced with disappointment and bitterness. “I knew it,” she muttered. “I just knew it. This is exactly what I expected. I saw it in your eyes, Soma. The way you look at him, the way you talk about him. You thought you were being subtle, but you weren’t. And now, just like that, you exposed yourself faster than I even thought you would.”She let out a dry, humorless laugh and continued, “All that pretending… all that acting like you were just helping me like you were just being a friend. Meanwhile, you were waiting… waiting for your chance.”Soma’s face tightened with frustration, but she didn’t flin
CHAPTER 408
At that moment, upon hearing what Carmilla just said, Soma’s eyes slightly widened, though she quickly masked the reaction with a faint smile. But deep down, her mind was already racing. Her instincts didn’t lie something was going on. She could feel it in the way Carmilla spoke, the way her tone dipped with irritation, the way her words subtly pushed blame toward Jason. That wasn’t the usual sweet, affectionate Carmilla she always portrayed when talking about him. No, something had definitely shifted.Are they quarreling? she thought, biting the inside of her cheek gently. It was something she hadn’t expected something she didn’t even know she had been hoping for until now. A subtle flicker of satisfaction stirred within her. So, it’s not all perfect between them after all.Yet, that satisfaction came laced with guilt and hesitation. Yes, a part of her was happy that things seemed to be breaking between Jason and Carmilla. But at the same time, it was a strange kind of sadness. Becau
CHAPTER 407
At that moment, Camilla’s voice dropped a little, but the intensity in her words stayed strong. “You know what, Soma?” she began, her tone shaky but sharp. “I really don’t understand what you’re doing right now. I don’t get it. The way you’re talking, the way you’re acting, it’s just… I don’t know. It’s confusing.”She paused for a second like she was trying to collect herself, but then she continued with even more weight in her voice. “But if this is how you’re going to behave, then fine. I’m not going to say anything more after this. I don’t want to exchange words with you or go in circles anymore. Just answer me right now, straight to my face on this call.”There was a short silence, and Camilla's voice became firmer, laced with suspicion. “Do you have feelings for Jason? Are you the one talking behind my back? Are you the one saying bad things about me to him?”She didn’t wait for an answer. She pushed harder, her voice rising a little. “Talk now, Soma. Because I’m starting to sus
CHAPTER 406
At that moment, Camilla’s hands were already trembling slightly as she held the phone to her ear. Her chest rose and fell quickly, her breath unsteady. The ringing tone barely lasted a few seconds before Soma answered.“Hello?” Soma’s voice came through, gentle and unsuspecting.Camilla didn’t wait. Her voice came sharp, cold, and laced with emotion. “I trusted you, Soma.”There was a pause.“I really did,” Camilla continued, her tone rising, her words sharper now. “Out of everyone, I never thought you’d be the one to do this to me. If this was your plan from the beginning to make sure I never had peace then why in the world did you even introduce Jason to me? Why? Was it a game? Was it funny watching me fall for someone just so you could take him back?”On the other end of the line, Soma’s lips parted, but for a moment no sound came out. She was frozen, her heart beating fast as she tried to comprehend what she had just heard.“Wait… what?” she finally managed to say, her voice soft
CHAPTER 406
At that moment, Carmilla slowly nodded her head, trying to look as calm and confident as possible. “No problem,” she said softly but firmly, her voice carrying just enough weight to reassure the group. “At the end of it all, you should be rest assured that everything is going to work out perfectly fine. You have nothing to worry about.”Her words, though short, were exactly what her friends wanted to hear. A wave of relief spread across their faces, and almost instantly, their earlier tension dissolved into excitement. They began to chatter with renewed energy, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.“I wonder what we’re going to do first when we get there,” one of them said, leaning over the table with a wide grin. “We’re definitely going to stream live! Everyone needs to see this. It’s not every day we get such an opportunity.”“Yes, yes!” another added quickly, clapping her hands together. “We’ll take beautiful pictures lots of them. We’ll show everybody we were really there, livin
CHAPTER 405
At that moment, the man who had spoken earlier leaned forward, his voice rising once more. “So, is that it? Is someone here really telling us that she’s not going to do what we’ve asked her to do? Is that what you’re saying?” His words rang across the table, sharp and accusatory, pressing Soma to the edge.Soma lifted her chin, her face set with determination. Her voice, though calm, carried enough weight to silence the room. “Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. I will not go back on my words. I have made my stand, and nothing you say will change it.”A ripple of tension swept through the hall. The man gave a short, bitter clap of his hands and muttered, “No problem, then. No problem at all.” He lowered himself back into his seat, though the tightness in his jaw betrayed his frustration.All eyes shifted back to Soma. Some were cold and filled with contempt, others curious, waiting to see if she would falter. But Soma stood still, her posture straight, her silence louder than any p
