Chapter-39, the heartbreak...

The betrayal stole the remaining air from her lungs. She felt suffocated. Her heartbeat raced so rapidly. She felt devastated. Around her, the ballroom continued unraveling those pages. The crowd contined to question them, while whispering and shock evident on their faces. But Elara barely heard any of it.Because suddenly none of that mattered. Noone existed for her to matter. Because only Lily mattered.Only the look in her eyes. It was cold and unapologetic as if she had no resentment for whatever she did. She looked very certain, as if she was very adamant to her decisions and she was fully aware of whatever she did. Suddenly, everything became clear of it own. Way more clear to hurt.

Students hurried from one lecture hall to another with coffee cups in their hands and unfinished conversations following behind them.Only Elara felt different.She walked through those corridors with measured steps, clutching the strap of her bag a little tighter than usual. Sleep had abandoned her long before dawn, leaving behind heavy eyes and an aching heart. The gala had ended few days ago yet it already felt like a distant nightmare that refused to release its grip.As she crossed the courtyard, familiar voices drifted through the crisp morning air.
