Aiah's POV

I couldn't take Maloi's nagging anymore. It was just…

I stood up, wanting to walk out.

"Where are you going? Are you going to her? Ha?!" Maloi pulled my hand, her nail digging into my skin.

I tried to hide the pain.

Mikha would just let me walk out and never pull me harshly. She would just stop me from leaving with her sarcastic remarks.

"For once, Maloi. Stop overthinking!" I shouted at her.

I pulled my arm away, breathing heavily as I tried to calm myself.

"Then where are you going?!" She shouted back, her nerves visible on her temple.

What happened to you, Maloi? You were not like this before.

I know she's insecure about Mikha, but why would she think I would go back to the person who cheated on me?

The lack of trust is just disappointing. Mikha never shouted at me because of jealousy.

"To the bar! Just this time, give me some space!" I glared at her.

"Is this how you treat your fiancé? Leaving me alone."

"Maloi, please. I need space." I tried to soften my voice.

"Are you going to dump me now because you're successful? Don't you ever forget that I'm the one who covered your school expenses! Without me, you're nothing." What the hell is she thinking?

She confessed to me that she's the one who asked her father to take me to Melbourne and make me their scholar, but I didn't know she would act like this.

But her father's first choice was Stacey. I fucking stole my traitor ex-best friend's spot.

"You're unbelievable." I scoffed as I walked out, ignoring her calling my name.

I went straight to the bar and drank my disappointments.

I already reached my dream, but at what cost? I thought being the world's most famous model would complete me, but I was wrong.

I thought Maloi would be different from Mikha, and yes, Maloi is far more different. In a bad way.

Mikha…

She gave me so much pain, but I still keep thinking about her.

Why? Mikha never treated me in a toxic way.

She never hurt me physically, she never screamed at me.

She never ever questioned my loyalty towards her.

It's almost perfect…

But why, Mikha?

Why did you do it?

After the trust I gave to her despite the issues.

Mikha…

"Why did you cheat?" I stared at my rock glass filled with whiskey.

I hate you... I hate you so much.

And I fucking loathed myself for being stuck in the past.
