Skyler had seen this coming. With a wry smile, she said, “It’s not your fault, you don’t have to apologize to me.”

Zavier hesitated, “But the Blue family didn’t completely shut the door. They offered me a condition.”

Skyler raised an eyebrow, “What condition?”

Zavier looked away, “If you can get pregnant with my child before Christmas and it’s confirmed to be a boy, they’ve

agreed to let your sister come to the Capital.”

Skyler clenched her hands at her sides, “Ha. Don’t worry about them.”

Zavier, “Skyler…”

Skyler, Yeah?’e2

Zavier took a deep breath, Tll work hard to become strong enough to call off our engagement before it’s too late. I

won’t marry someone I don’t want to, and I won’t let you marry someone you don’t want to.”

Skyler gave him a tearful smile that quickly turned into actual tears.

Zavier reached out to wipe away her tears but thought better of it and slowly drew back his hand.

Skyler, wiping her own tears fiercely, said, “You getting stronger only means calling off our engagement. After that,

I might become the laughingstock, the castoff, or they might just pawn me off in another alliance. To break free

from their control, I need to be the one who gets stronger. But how? I used to think if I could just earn enough

money to support myself and my sister, I’d be free. But I was naive.”

Zavier listened in silence.

Skyler. “Thanks for taking me out today and introducing me to more friends. I’m really glad I got to meet Rosie.”

Rosie’s vivacity was like a warm little sun for Skyler, casting a beam of light in her cold world.

Zavier broke the silence, “We are here.”

Skyler opened the door, “Thank you.”

For the job he had introduced her to.

For not forcing her to do anything she didn’t want to.

For bringing new friends into her life.

She remembered every kindness.

Zavier, “Winter break is coming. I’ll send Mary to pick you up and bring you to my place.”

Skyler, “It’s alright. I can stay in the dorm over the break.”

Zavier paused, then relented, “As you wish.”

Skyler, “Goodbye.”

Zavier, “Yeah.”

He watched Skyler walk away before driving off. He had a place near the school, but suddenly, he didn’t know

where to go. He drove aimlessly until a call snapped him back to reality. It was his mother Kalene, “Zavier, your

father’s condition has worsened. He’s critical. Come to the hospital immediately.”

Zavier’s heart skipped a beat, “Which hospital?”

Kalene, “The Capital General.”

Zavier, “I’m on my way.”

His grip on the steering wheel was shaky as he rushed to the hospital. Just days ago, the doctors had said his father

was improving. How could things have turned so quickly?

His mind was a blur. He couldn’t make sense of it.

Zavier made it to the hospital as fast as he could, but it was too late. The death certificate had already been issued.

Kalene collapsed on the floor, too shocked to even cry.

Zavier’s steps faltered, “Mom…”

Nora, full of fury, confronted Zavier, “How could you take so long? Your father wanted to see you one last time

before he passed.”
