From Betrayal to New Love

Adrianna Simmons had spent three years longing for Zander Greene, believing she had finally won his heart. She thought her devotion had touched him. But one fateful night, she overheard a conversation between Zander and his friend Ryder White that shattered her illusions. "Iyla wants us to attend the same grad school," Zander said with an indifferent chuckle. "So I pretended to be with Adrianna. Not only does she help me with my studies, but she's also a convenient backup." His words hit Adrianna like a cold wave, leaving her numb and frozen in the doorway with a six-pack of beer in her hand. She barely managed to hold onto it as her world crumbled around her. Iyla Austin, Zander’s childhood friend, was a constant annoyance—or so he had claimed. Whenever her name came up, he would roll his eyes and talk about how no one could find her tomboyish ways attractive. "I prefer gentle, quiet girls," he'd say, and Adrianna, believing him, had tried to fit that mold.

Chapter 3

In the evening, she went to the picturesque mountain road just outside town. This was where Zander Greene and Iyla Austin frequently indulged in their passion for racing. Across the road, she spotted Zander getting out of his car, scooping Iyla into his arms, and twirling her around. His eyes shone with adoration, and his voice overflowed with joy. "Oh, my darling, you're such an amazing racer. I can't keep up with you."

Iyla wrapped her legs around his waist, looking at him with pride. "Of course! Who do you think I am?"

"Alright, alright, you're the most unbeatable racing champ in the universe," Zander laughed, their noses playfully touching.

To any outsider, they seemed like the perfect couple, blissfully in love. That’s what she thought, too. But the man standing there was supposed to be her boyfriend.

A bitter smile appeared on her lips as she clutched her stomach, taking a few steps back and nearly losing her footing. At that moment, any remaining hope she had for Zander faded away. Walking away was her final act of preserving her dignity.

The crystal chandeliers cast a golden glow across the Weaver estate's grand ballroom, their light dancing off champagne flutes and diamond jewelry. I stood in the corner, my white cane tapping softly against the marble floor as I tried to orient myself in this sea of voices and clinking glasses. "Nadia, darling, you look absolutely radiant tonight," Mrs. Harrington's voice dripped with false sweetness as she brushed past me. "So brave of you to come out like this." I smiled politely, though my heart wasn't in it. Five years of blindness had taught me to read people through their tones, and hers screamed pity.
