Semua Bab You Are My World And My Everything: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Liam's POVI couldn't sleep. No matter how many times I closed my eyes, my mind kept going back to the same thing. Dylan. The fact that he had shown up at Maria's house in the middle of the night. The fact that he was still trying. The fact that while I was thousands of miles away, another man could stand in front of her door while all I could do was listen through a phone call. I sat on the edge of my bed and stared at the city lights outside my apartment window. It was almost two in the morning. Most people were asleep. I should have been asleep too. Instead, I was sitting here thinking about a woman on the other side of the world. A woman who had somehow become the center of everything. I picked up my phone and opened our conversation. The last thing she sent was a photo from a few days ago. Nothing special. Just Maria sitting in her living room, holding a cup of coffee while smiling at the camera. Yet somehow I couldn't stop looking at it. My thumb brushed lightly across the scre

Rachel POV I stood there motionless as Liam walked away.The sound of his footsteps echoed in my ears long after he disappeared from sight. Around me, people continued with their lives. Cars passed. Conversations drifted through the air. The city moved forward. But my world had stopped. My fingers trembled as I stared at the empty sidewalk where he had been standing moments ago. "My heart belongs to Maria now." Those words kept repeating inside my head like a cruel song. Maria. Maria. Maria. why was it always her? I squeezed my eyes shut. For years, Liam had been mine. Not perfectly. Not continuously. Not without mistakes. But he had been mine. We had survived arguments, misunderstandings, breakups, and reconciliations. He knew my flaws.He knew my darkness. He knew every broken piece of me. Yet somehow... He chose her. A woman he couldn't even touch. A woman who lived miles away. A woman who only existed through phone screens and video calls. How could she replace everything we ha

Rachel's POVThe house was unusually quiet that evening.I sat on the edge of the couch, staring blankly at my phone. The screen was dark, but my mind was filled with memories.Memories of Liam.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about him.The way he used to smile at me.The way he always made sure I was okay.The way he cared for me even when I didn't deserve it.A heavy sigh escaped my lips.Months had passed.Yet somehow, I still couldn't let him go.I heard footsteps approaching from the kitchen.My mother, Tricia, walked into the living room carrying a cup of coffee.She looked at me and immediately frowned."You're thinking about Liam again, aren't you?"I looked away."What if I am?""Because you're still in love with him."I didn't answer.Maybe because she was right.A few moments later, my siblings, Claire and Damian, entered the room and sat across from me.The atmosphere quickly became serious.Claire crossed her arms."Have you heard anything about Liam

I had barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Maria's voice over and over again. "Did you lie to me?" "I saw everything." "Don't call me beautiful if you're lying."I slowly opened my eyes as the alarm on my phone echoed through the quiet apartment.5:00 A.M. Another duty day. Another international flight. But my mind wasn't on flying.It was on Maria. I immediately reached for my phone. No messages. No missed calls.Nothing. I called her again. One ring. Two rings.Three. Voicemail. I tried again.Still nothing. I lowered the phone and rubbed my tired face. "I know you're hurting..." I whispered."But please... don't shut me out." I forced myself to get ready. The hot shower did nothing to calm my thoughts. My heart felt heavier than my body.Thirty minutes later, I arrived at the airport.Normally, seeing the aircraft waiting on the ramp filled me with excitement. Flying had always been my passion. Today... I could barely appreciate it.Inside the crew briefing room, seve

The typing indicator appeared... then disappeared.A few seconds later, it appeared again.I couldn't help smiling.Liam was probably deciding whether he should tell me the truth.Finally, his message arrived.Promise me you won't get mad.I raised an eyebrow.That depends on your answer.A few moments later, another message popped up.DC told me.I blinked.Of course.It had to be him.I immediately replied.He told you everything?Liam answered honestly.Not everything.Just enough to let me know that you weren't taking care of yourself.Another message followed.Maria...Do you honestly think I could sleep peacefully knowing you were skipping meals?I looked down at my phone.No.I knew Liam too well.He worried over the smallest things.If I caught a cold...He would remind me to drink water.If I had a headache...He would call just to make sure I had taken medicine.
