His fingers that were holding the bouquet slowly loosened.
Thud.
Roses hit the floor.
He stood there, motionless. The world around him blurred.
His heart didn't just break.
It shattered.
Shattered like the sound of her laughter with someone else. Shattered like the trust he had built. Like the dreams he had painted with her.
Lia's eyes widened in shock.
She was frozen in place for a second, completely naked except for the sheet barely clutched to her chest.
The guy beside her was Sofia's boyfriend—Kyle—half-sitting up on the bed, confused and not even bothering to cover himself.
"R-Ray… it's not what you think—" Lia started, her voice trembling as she quickly pushed Kyle away and stumbled out of bed.
Rayan stood by the door, bouquet dropped on the floor, his fists clenched by his sides. His face was blank—too blank. That was what scared her the most.
He wasn't shouting. He wasn't asking questions.
