Chapter 3 .
Chapter 3 Skylars heart skipped a beat .
She glanced at Victoria , who met her gaze with a smirk while pulling out her phone and setting a timer .
A minute later , right on cue , the alarm rang .
Victoria pretended to answer a call , quickly working up tears .
She turned to the front seat , her voice trembling .
Cal , the housekeeper just called my puppys really sick .
Im so worried .
Could you take me home now ? Callias pulled over , frowning at the relentless rain .
When he turned back and saw her tear streaked face , he hesitated before shifting his gaze to Skylar .
I need to take Victoria to the West Side .
Its out of the way you should grab an Uber from here .
Victoria quickly thrust an umbrella at Skylar , not giving her a chance to refuse .
Skylars eyes moved between them before she wordlessly opened the car door .
Rain seeped through the broken umbrella , quickly soaking her clothes .
The downpour was too heavy for any rideshare to spot her .
She had to run , using her bag as makeshift cover .
After thirty miserable minutes , she finally reached the visa office , drenched and disheveled .
With her paperwork done and still no ride in sight , Skylar had to walk another hour home in the rain .
By the time she made it back , fever burned through her .
She collapsed onto her bed , dizzy and aching .

Her dreams were dark and strange , her body damp with cold sweat as she fled from shadowy monsters .
When she finally forced her eyes open , she realized the monster was Callias .
He held her in his arms , spooning medicine between her lips .
His voice was gentle , tinged with worry .
There you go , baby .
Take your medicine .
Youll feel better soon .

Skylar couldnt tell if this was reality or another fever dream .
She swallowed the medicine before drifting off again .
When she next woke , her fever had broken .
She instinctively reached beside her .
Empty .
Only his phone buzzed insistently on the nightstand .
She picked it up to find his friends tagging him in their group chat .
Cal , youre one hell of an actor dropping a multi million dollar deal just to rush home when your little stepsister got sick ? Guys , I think hes actually caught feelings .
Running every red light to get back to her ? Thats not acting .
Agreed .
No one gets that worked up unless theyre in deep .
At the bottom , Callias had replied just once : Love her ? Id rather die .
Im just playing my part .
The more she believes it , the more itll destroy her when she learns the truth .
Isnt that the point ? Each word made Skylars heart freeze .
Five years together , and all she got was Id rather die than love her .

She felt her strength drain away , her hand dropping limply .
The bedroom door opened .
Callias walked in with hot water , his face changing when he saw the phone .
He quickly snatched it away .
His usually lazy drawl carried a hint of tension .
What did you see ? Skylar lowered her head , hiding her reddened eyes .
Her voice was rough : Was there something I wasnt supposed to see ? She couldnt understand .
If he knew how deeply shed fallen for him , why didnt he stop ? Why drag out this charade so long ? Still being careful , still afraid shed discover the truth .
Wasnt he tired of pretending all this time ? Enough ! Hed won ! She was already broken beyond repair ! Oblivious to her thoughts , Callias assumed she was just emotional from being sick .
He quickly pulled her into his arms , soothing her .
No , baby , I was just planning a surprise for you .
Since youre upset , Ill tell you early , okay ? I found out Denmark allows marriage between step siblings .
We could move there , make it official .
Im already working on the details .
Theyd had this conversation countless times on endless nights before .
Now , hearing it again , Skylar felt nothing but a dead calm where her heart used to race .
She knew there was no future for them anymore .
In ten days , Calliass life would no longer include Skylar .
