"I remember feeling extremely hot, suffocating, like I couldn't breathe," Emily murmured, her voice tinged with a hint of distress as she relived the sensation. Her brows furrowing deeper with each passing moment as she delved further into her recollections. Caleb's gaze rested on Emily, his expression expectant, silently urging her to remember more. Emily sighed and looked at Caleb with a troubled expression. "I... I can't remember anything after that," she admitted, her voice tinged with frustration. "It's okay, Emily," Caleb reassured her, his voice calm and understanding. "You don't need to worry about it if you can't remember." Caleb glanced down at his phone and furrowed his brows as he noticed the time. "It's getting late, I have to head to class," he said, looking back at Emily. He then glanced at the door and back at her. "I've booked the rooms until 1pm. If you want, you can rest a little longer," he offered. Emily gave him a small smile, grateful for his cons

"I'll go with you," she declared firmly, her tone resolute despite the weariness in her voice. "Besides, I could use some coffee" Emily remarked with a faint smile. "Maybe then this headache will finally start to fade away." Caleb's expression softened into a reassuring smile at her determination. "Okay," he replied gently. As the elevator doors closed, Caleb noticed Emily's uneasy demeanor and sensed her embarrassment lingering from the events of the night before. Wanting to divert her attention, he gently broached the subject of William. "So, what's your plan with William?" Caleb inquired, his tone casual yet curious, as they stood side by side in the elevator, the doors closing slowly. Emily fidgeted with the strap of her bag, her mind still tangled in the aftermath of their earlier discussion. "I'm not sure," she confessed, her words barely audible. "But one thing's for certain—I'm seriously considering taking legal action against him." "He lied to me, Caleb. He's

"What do you want Amanda?" he asked, his tone cool and detached. "I'm late for class and I were just leaving with my friend," he emphasized, casting a meaningful glance at Emily. Amanda raised an eyebrow, her gaze shifting between Caleb and Emily before settling back on Caleb. "Friend," she replied with disgust. Amanda's words sliced through the tension, each syllable laden with disappointment and frustration. Amanda's sneer cut through the air like a blade as she looked between Caleb and Emily. "I didn't think you were the type, Caleb, to get a hotel room with a woman," she remarked, her tone dripping with disdain. Caleb's jaw clenched, his fists tightening at his sides as anger flared within him. "Watch your words, Amanda," he warned, his voice low and steely, a barely restrained edge of anger seeping through his words. Amanda's lips curled into a sneer as she responded, "Watch my words? Why? Can't handle the truth?" Her tone dripped with sarcasm, a challenge

Emily's mind raced as she connected the dots. Could Amanda be the sister of the woman she had seen arriving in a luxurious Mercedes Benz at their apartment building? The same woman Caleb had dinner with at the Royal Palm Restaurant? At first, Emily had entertained the thought that Caleb might be financially supported by a wealthy woman after seeing him with the woman in the Mercedes Benz. However, Amanda's words only served to solidify her suspicions, making her believe that her initial guess could indeed be true. The pieces of the puzzle seemed to fit together seamlessly, leaving Emily with a sinking feeling that her speculation was more accurate than she had initially realized. Caleb really was supported by a woman. Caleb straightened his shoulders, his patience wearing thin as he locked eyes with Amanda. The weight of her accusations and insinuations bore down on him, but he refused to let them break his resolve. "What's it to you?" he demanded, his voice cold and firm

Unbelievable. You really are unbelievable." Caleb looked at her, a mixture of confusion and hurt clouding his features. He couldn't understand why she was suddenly so angry with him, and it weighed heavily on his mind as he searched for an explanation in her eyes. But Emily's gaze remained guarded, her emotions masked behind a veil of frustration and disappointment. "I know you've always had feelings for me," Emily began, her voice tinged with regret. "And I've said some truly awful things to you when I was with William. I could tell you were jealous, and I'm sorry for that. Despite everything, I've always had a good impression of you. Even though you're just an ordinary guy, and not wealthy, I've always seen you as a good person. You've been kind and supportive to me. If you had confessed your feelings, I might have even considered your proposal." She paused, her words hanging in the air before she continued, her tone turning colder. "But after finding out today that you'
