Whispers of Fate

Chapter 13

Adele POV:

The day had started like any other, with

a busy schedule and countless tasks to

juggle. Yet, there was a storm brewing

inside me, fueled by the jealousy and

frustration I had been holding in. I

couldn't shake the feeling that something

needed to change, that I needed to

confront my emotions head-on,

especially after the tension and lingering

We moved to a quieter part of the studio,

away from prying eyes. The air was thick

with unspoken tension. I could feel the

heat rising in my chest, and I knew I

couldn't keep it inside any longer.

"Arianna, I need to be honest with you," I
