19 This Is Cheating, Not Love

Faye's POV

After running out of Liam's office, I wandered around the campus like a lost soul.

It was my first day of school, and although I had visited the university a few times before, I was not familiar with the place. I dressed strangely, wearing an oversized shirt and ill-fitting men's shorts, which drew stares and whispers from onlookers.

I kept my head down, hands shielding my face, trying to avoid the curious glances of strangers while hiding my tears. I didn't want to be here anymore, or more precisely, I didn't want to be in the same place as Liam.

I had been wrong all along, repeatedly hoping that Liam would change his attitude towards me.

I even fantasized that he would become my fated mate, just like Leander. But all I got in return was disappointment and pain. Everything he said in the lab had felt like a series of sharp knives cutting into me.
