Kiana's Pov;
It was him.
The boy from the other day, the one who had stepped in for me when Maddox was humiliating me and got beaten for daring to interfere.
I never thought I'd see him again.Not now, not like this..not when I want to end everything.
I wanted to scream at him, to curse him for stopping me, to cry until my chest broke open. But the moment my gaze locked with his, the fury in his eyes stole every word from my throat.
His fists were clenched so tight his knuckles trembled, veins standing out like they might burst.
For a second, he looked like he could burn the whole world for daring to hurt me. And then… slowly, his gaze softened. He crouched in front of me, close enough that I could feel the tremor in his breath.
"Are you insane?" His voice was cold, sharp, yet cracking under the weight of something deeper.
