Amanda’s POV:

I couldn’t help but grin when I saw Samson’s message pop up on my phone.

He was always tied up with Eclipse Pack business or company stuff and usually didn’t get back to Ortega Castle until really late. The fact that he came home early today meant he was serious about learning Isnesh.

I texted back, “I’m here. Get ready. Let’s start in five minutes.”

After sending it, I grabbed the Isnesh basics unit I’d prepped earlier and set up everything for the lesson. Once it all looked good, I began teaching Samson.

An hour flew by before I knew it. I stretched and rubbed my sore throat, realizing that teaching wasn’t easy at all.

I had to explain things clearly and stay in sync with my student’s pace.

I stood up, picked up my cup, and went downstairs to grab some hot milk for my throat. The moment I turned the corner by the stairs, I nearly ran into Derrick.

My heart skipped a beat. My first thought was to act like I didn’t see him and walk away, but he caught my wrist. “You really don’t want to see me?”

“What are you doing? Let me go!” I snapped, trying to pull back. After what happened last night, I didn’t want any more awkward run-ins with him-especially not alone.

“Amanda, I mean it.” His tone was serious, and his eyes were stubborn. “I’m not playing around. I really like you. Can you at least think about it?”

“I already told you-I don’t like you,” I said slowly, pulling my hand again. “Please stop saying things like that.”

His stubbornness was starting to get under my skin. Feelings couldn’t be forced. It just didn’t work that

way.

“Are you rejecting me because you like someone else?” he pressed on, his gaze locked on mine, refusing to let go.

I was about to deny it when I noticed a figure on the stairs. Samson had shown up at some point, an empty cup in hand. He watched us with a calm, unreadable expression.

Derrick noticed him as well. He instantly dropped my hand, and the tension in the air disappeared as he put on his usual cool expression.

I felt a wave of relief. I stepped back, gave them both a small nod, and hurried toward the kitchen. Staying any longer would’ve made things even more uncomfortable.

I’d just finished our Isnesh lesson and went downstairs for some water-only to spot Derrick grabbing Amanda’s wrist.

Her face showed resistance and frustration, trying to pull away. She looked trapped and uneasy, like a rabbit backed into a corner.

I’d already guessed Derrick had feelings for her.

Since the preliminaries, he’d been way too focused on her. Now, seeing him straight-up confess and push like that, I found that he was more reckless than I thought.
