Heather winced as Liam pressed her ankle with the ice.
“It hurts" She muttered and he immediately dropped the ice.
“I'm sorry. Why don't rest for now, we'll press it later" She nodded and he placed her foot gently on the bed then watched as she laid down before letting out a smile.
”I'll let you rest now but just in case you need anything, just call me" She nodded.
“Okay and thank you, Liam. You are the only one here that actually cares about me" Liam stared at her for a while then sighed.
“Don't be bothered by what Daniel said. He only said those words because you rejected him and hurt his ego. He's more alike to Zane than he realizes but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about you because he does" She scoffed.
“I don't care, he can rot in hell for all I care. I want to rest now" Liam nodded then leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.
“Just know that I'll always care for you no matter what and when you're ready to give me a chance, I'll treat you how you want to be treated, with love and care" He murmured into her ear then stood up straight with a smile before walking out of the room.
She thought over his words for a while then let out a sigh. It would be better for her if she were in love with Liam but sadly, she was in love with a man who had not an ounce of feelings for her.
She sighed then closed her eyes. Why was Kiara and her so unlucky in love? She didn't even know which was worse, her loving a man that doesn't love her or Kiara loving a man that does love her but can't trust her.
She sighed then decided to get rid of that thought as she fell asleep.
Some minutes later, the door opened slightly and Daniel peeped in. When he saw that she was asleep and he could hear her steady heartbeat, he slowly walked into the room and towards her bed.
He stared at her face for a while then his eyes trailed down to her ankle.
“I didn't mean a word I said to you earlier and if you must know, I do not hate you and I never wanted to reject you but the sin I committed against you is a sin I can't forgive myself or and I know when you figure it out, you're going to hate me forever and that is probably for the best" He whispered then leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead before walking out of the room.

Kiara immediately stood up from the couch with bright eyes as Zane walked in.
“You're back. I missed you" She murmured as she walked up to him. She wrapped her arms around him tightly then raised up her head to stare at his face and immediately frowned when she saw he wasn't smiling.
“Is something wrong? Did something happen?" He glanced at her then she gasped when he grabbed her arms and detached it from his body before taking a step back from her.
“Zane, is… is something wrong? Why are you acting so strange" She furrowed her eyebrows when she saw hurt, anger and pain in his eyes. What was going on?
“You lied to me" He muttered and she frowned.
“Me? When did I lie to you?" He brought out the pictures from his pocket and threw them at her. When she saw who was on it, she froze.
“I asked you who you were with and you said no one. You lied to me" She sighed and was about to hold him but he took a step back.
She couldn't believe despite all they have been through, he still didn't trust her. He still saw her as a cheating slut. She was the bigger fool here for loving such a man.
She grabbed her phone with shaky hands and called the only person she could at the moment.
“Levi, can you come pick me up at the hotel? I really need to leave here" She murmured as tears streamed down her face.
“I'll be there immediately" He uttered then hung up. She immediately packed her things, leaving the clothes she had bought from the mall that day since Zane had bought them for her. She didn't want anything from him and she didn't want to be tied to him.
She packed up her small luggage then rolled it out into the living room. She halted in her steps then turned around and glanced at everything with tears in her eyes. All the memories they made here were for nothing. She knew her fantasy world would come to end, she just didn't expect it to be this soon.
She wiped her tears as she walked into the elevator. Why was she crying? She had gone through much worse. This was just a lesson to her and she was never going to make this mistake again.
Luckily, when she got to the entrance of the hotel, Levi was waiting for her there. As soon as he saw her, he ran up to her and hugged her tightly.
“Oh my God, what happened?" He questioned as she cried on his chest.
“Just get me out of here, Please" He nodded then grabbed her luggage from her hand before heading her towards the car.
Zane watched them from his car that was parked down the street with tears in his eyes. Without saying anything, he turned his car around and drove off…
