Just when everything seemed to fall into place—
The truth shattered it all.
Shayyna discovered that Arayz had hidden something.
A secret about her family.
A truth he didn't tell her.
"You lied to me," she said, tears burning in her eyes.
"I was protecting you."
"From what? The truth—or yourself?"
Silence.
That was her answer.
She walked away.
And this time…
He didn't stop her.
