Elara’s POV Taking a deep sigh. I leaned my tensed body against the wall, I was now left with no job, no source of income, thanks to Alric. My life had turned into an endless rollercoaster of trauma.. I never requested it. Just months ago, I had balance. Two jobs, college, and a quiet kind of peace. Now all of it is gone… because of him. “Let’s not bother with that,” Alric said casually, tossing his phone aside. “You’ve got no job to deal with at night now, so let’s go out for the weekend.” I froze, staring at him in disbelief. Was he being serious right now? “Let’s get you an apartment while we’re at it,” he continued with a smirk plastered on his face. He was enjoying this, my helplessness was an entertainment to him. He still didn't understand we had lots of differences between us
