Once Haley was gone, Tiffany threw herself into Elijah’s arms, her voice quivering. “Elijah, thank you for believing me. I was so scared you’d misunderstand me like everyone else.“[]
Elijah gently patted her back, his tone soft. “Don’t worry. I’m here for you.“[]
The other guests, watching the scene unfold, started to tease, “Come on! You should call him honey.“[]
Tiffany felt a blush creep up her cheeks, looking shy. She looked down and softly murmured, “Honey…“[]
After the banquet, Elijah’s friends gathered around him, looking concerned. “Elijah, about those photos of Tiffany, they don’t look edited. Just be careful, okay?“]
Elijah frowned, slightly annoyed. “You all really want to slander her too? Have you forgotten why I liked her in the first place?“]
The guys paused, then remembered the story from back in the day.[]
It was a sunny afternoon, and Tiffany had bravely saved a kitten from a high ledge, putting her own safety at risk. The image of her gently cradling that little cat had left an indelible mark on Elijah’s heart and on everyone else’s memories.[]
Thinking of this, his friends fell silent, quietly dispersing.
Seeing them back off, Elijah’s expression softened.[]
He clapped them on the shoulder with determination. “I trust Tiffany. She’s not that kind of girl“]
They exchanged glances but ultimately said nothing more.[]
After the banquet, Elijah planned to take Tiffany home.
But she grabbed his hand, her eyes bright with hope, “Elijah, I don’t want to go home alone. Can we live together? I want to be with you.”
Elijah paused, silence hanging in the air for a moment before he nodded. “Okay.”
The two drove to the villa in West Mountain.[]
Along the way, Tiffany snuggled against Elijah’s shoulder, a smile of happiness beaming from her face.
Yet, Elijah felt a strange emptiness inside.[]
The villa was cozy and luxurious, thoughtfully decorated.[]
Tiffany bounced around the room in excitement, exclaiming, “Elijah, this place is beautiful. Are we going to live here from now on?“]
Elijah nodded, though his smile felt somewhat forced. Watching her delight, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing.
That night, after her shower, Tiffany walked out in a thin nightgown, a hint of seduction in her gaze, “Elijah, we…“[
Elijah avoided her eyes, his tone cooler than before. “Your room is next door. Don’t wear so little, and get some rest.“]
Tiffany froze, a hint of disappointment flashing on her face, but she quickly recovered, saying cheerfully, “Okay, I’ll go back now.“[]

Once the door closed, Elijah shut his eyes, trying to sleep, but the weight on his heart felt as heavy as a stone, making it hard to breathe.
The next morning, he woke up early, standing on the balcony gazing at the distant mountains, but his mind felt clouded.[]
Tiffany snuck up behind him, wrapping her arms around him playfully. “Elijah, why are you up so early? Want to sleep a little longer?”
Gently, he pushed her away, his tone distanced. “I have some things to take care of. See you later.“[]
As she watched him walk away, uncertainty flickered in her eyes.[]
Biting her lip, she chose not to say another word.
The next few days passed, and the couple officially started living together.
Like any couple, they cooked together, watched movies, and strolled through the garden.[]

But Elijah always felt that something was off.[]
Until one day…]
The night was deep, and the villa was eerily quiet.[]
Elijah pushed open the bedroom door, rubbing his temples wearily, ready to call it a night. However, the moment he pulled back the covers, he froze.
Tiffany lay completely naked on the bed, her pale skin glowing softly in the gentle light. There was a hint of seduction in her eyes as she purred, “Elijah, you’re finally back.“[]
Elijah’s throat tightened, and he instinctively took a step back. “Tiffany, what are you doing?”
Tiffany sat up, reaching for his wrist and saying in a playful tone, “Elijah, we’re together now. Why do you keep avoiding me? Don’t you like me?“]]
Elijah’s mind raced, but his body moved against his will, bringing him to the edge of the bed. Tiffany leaned into him, tilting her head back and gently kissing his lips.]
Her kiss was soft and lingering, tinged with a hint of teasing.
Elijah felt as if he were being pulled by some unseen force and found himself responding to her kiss.
“Kendall…” he murmured under his breath.]
