Just a few moments earlier...
"Give me another chance, Lia. Please, just one more shot. I'll fix everything, I swear. I'll make things right between us. You know I can," Kai pleaded, searching for even the faintest sign of forgiveness, a glimmer of... hope.
Lia blinked, her gaze shifting uneasily as she noticed the onlookers, their hushed whispers swirling around them.
Her frown deepened, "Kai, what the hell are you doing? This is not the time or place for this! We're already over, aren't we? What's gotten into you all of a sudden?" she asked with frustration.
Kai's expression softened, "B-Because I-I always... love you, Lia. I never stopped. Not for a second."
A collective gasp spread through the crowd, the murmurs intensifying as people leaned in, eager to witness the drama unfolding before them.
Selene, Aria and Helena tried to interfere but Lia stopped them, it was her problem!
