Chapter 758
As Valarie and Zayn arrived at her house, they saw Brandon waiting at the gate.
Brandon thought about how he had treated Zayn like a brother, only to have Zayn go after Valarie–stealing his girl. The urge to punch Zayn in the face surged within him.
“She’s my girlfriend. Anything that pertains to her involves me too,” Zayn told Brandon.
Brandon’s fists clenched at his sides, his body tense and his face cold enough to freeze.
Taking a deep breath to calm his anger, he asked Valarie, “What did your call earlier mean?”
Before Valarie could answer, Zayn chimed in with a smile, “You came all the way here to ask about that call? We were just playing Truth or Dare at the club. Valarie lost and chose Dare. It was to call you and

s her feelings.
The color drained from Brandon’s face, turning pale in an instant. He stared at Valarie as he asked, “Is what Zayn said true?”
Valarie bit her lip, unable to meet his gaze. “Yes…”
“Great, I must really be pathetic to come looking for you!” Brandon spat.
He pushed past Valarie and Zayn, his anger evident in his swift departure.
As Valarie listened to his footsteps fade away, she felt a hollow ache in her chest.
For her, that phone call tonight hadn’t just been a dare—it was a confession.
Over the five years they had been entangled, she had long since fallen for Brandon. She had just grown accustomed to having him around, mistaking it for friendship.
Now, she probably wouldn’t have the chance to tell him.
She let go of Zayn’s hand, saying, “Thanks for taking me home. It’s late, so I won’t ask you to come in. Be careful on your way home.”
Nyla replied indifferently, “Good morning.”
“Nyla, you’ve been back in Saintornia for a while. Have you thought about visiting your father?” Damon asked.
Nyla froze mid–action, her fingers gripping the knife tightly. She raised her eyes to meet Damon’s gaze, her face expressionless. “No, I haven’t. Why? Have you seen him recently?”
