🖤TWISTED OBSESSIONS 🖤

Chapter-17

The air felt thick, almost suffocating, as the weight of her emotions bore down on her chest.

The words replayed in her mind like a broken record. She wanted to scream, to erase the pain that now consumed her. Tears streamed down her face, unchecked and unstoppable,

It felt like a betrayal she could never have imagined, and yet here she was, living it.the one person she trusted with her heart and soul. They had shared countless moments of joy, dreams of the future, and an unspoken promise of unwavering trust. But now, that trust was broken, and Layla felt like she was drowning in a sea of sorrow and confusion."I love him," she whispered to the empty room, her voice trembling. "But how can I trust him again?"The betrayal had cut deep. It wasn't just about the act itself, but the realization that the person she thought she knew so well had hidden something so significant from her. She had always believed in their bond, in the honesty that had held them together. Now, that belief felt like a cruel joke.

She wanted to believe him, to forgive him, but the wound was too fresh, too raw. She felt helpless, torn between the love she still felt for him and the fear that he might hurt her again.Time seemed to stand still as she cried her heart out, each tear a testament to the pain and love interwoven in her soul. She remembered their laughter, their shared dreams, and the way he used to hold her close, making her feel safe and cherished. But those memories were now tainted by doubt.

Daniel sat on a bench in the roof, watching the moon in the night sky, painting the sky with stars. He had always found peace in the quiet moments of night, but lately, a new kind of restlessness had taken hold of him. It was a feeling he couldn't quite place, a subtle ache that seemed to grow stronger each day.His thought drifted to Layla, he started to think about her it made the ache in his chest even more pronounced. He closed his eyes, trying to understand what was happening to him. Daniel started to think of other things and his heart is aching he don't know what that feeling is but still he can feel....

Suddenly Bella feet stuck into something heavy...

" Ahh what's that."

-" it's a phone bella, I think it's layla's "

Bella picked it up in a rush ...

" If her phone is here.. then I am sure she's here to.."

-" hey! Don't cry Bella... We will surely find your friend and nothing will happen to her , stop crying...''

He took out his handkerchief and gave to her...

-" wipe it up"

Bella was soo helpless , she rushed and threw her arms around Oliver and started sobbing uncontrollably.... Oliver stood still for a moment, taken aback by the certain embrace but then he wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly.

As Bella cried against his chest, Oliver could felt a surge of emotion, this moment was different unlike other there was a deep and inexplicable connection between them. He could feel her pain and wanted nothing more that to comfort her and make everything right...

-" it going to be okay Bella, I am here for you"( stroking her hair beside her ears)

Bellas sobs gradually subsided, and she pulled up and look slightly up her eyes were all red and puffy from crying.

" Thank you Oliver, I really needed this.."

-" anytime Bella , I am always here for you"

In that moment a bond was formed between them.. Bella felt a sense of relief and comfort she haven't felt a long time they both knew it was a begining of something special...
