“Why are you suddenly so eager to help? Haven’t you always thought Oriana isn’t good enough for Micah? And Grant-”
Zara lowered her voice and stepped closer, closing the distance between them.
Before Oriana could say a word, Kenny exploded.
The moment Grant was mentioned, Kenny’s anger flared up as he’d just spotted a rival in love.
“Grant? That troublemaker again! Micah’s smart, and he was keeping things under wraps. I always wondered why he suddenly slipped up. Turns out that jerk was pulling strings behind the scenes!”
Zara shot him a contemptuous look. “And you have the nerve to say that? If Grant hadn’t stirred up trouble, how much longer would your whole family have kept Oriana in the dark?”
Kenny’s aggressive posture instantly faltered, and he nervously glanced at Oriana. But his slip–up only made her suspicious of Micah even more.
Flustered, Kenny ran his hand through his hair, clueless. Stammering, he said, “No, no, that’s not what I meant. I’m mad at Grant for messing up your relationship with Micah, I never intended to hide things from you.”
The more Kenny spoke, the more his words contradicted each other. Eventually, he shut up.
Zara scoffed and turned away, too annoyed to give him another look. Her attention went back to Oriana, who was lost in thought, eyes cast downward.
Zara waved a hand in front of her. “Oriana, what’s got you so deep in thought? How about I come with you to meet Director Smith?”
Oriana snapped back to reality.
She had indeed been zoning out, still mulling over what she’d read in the small room.
Oriana had just finished going through Micah’s diary entries that started when she was eight.
Up to the point about her guaranteed admission, nothing seemned off. But after that, the diary felt like an alternate reality,
According to Micah’s records, he hadn’t been involved in her life once she entered Seabar University. On the surface, Oriana and Grant appeared to be a sweet couple. Yet, unbeknownst to Oriana, Grant and Bramwell had stolen her guaranteed admission spot and given it to Luma.
In the diary, Micah was angry and resentful on Oriana’s behalf but took no action
Micah was fragile, cautious. He didn’t dare show up in front of her, fearing that Oriana’s love for Grant was so deep she’d lose her mind and hate anyone who tried to come between them.
In those entries, Micah was nothing but an outsider tied to Oriana by mere connection.

He pitied her for being kept in the dark, but could only silently watch over her from afar.

According to the diary, Oriana never actually secured that guaranteed admission and didn’t persist with her studies.
Meanwhile, Grant was hitting a critical point in his career. After graduation, Luna smoothly enrolled in Jindiwood University for further studies, while Oriana joined Grant’s company, handling everything for him.
To support Grant’s business relationships, Oriana transformed from a lightweight drinker to a seasoned pro who could hold her liquor through endless rounds over three years.
She felt sorry for Grant, who had to juggle technical issues and personnel management, so she even self- studied management.
Oriana grew from warm and gentle to a strict, capable deputy who could run the company’s day–to–day on her own.
Grant shuttled between Jindiwood and Seabar, but later mostly stayed in Jindiwood, claiming the tech there had more potential and room for competition. In reality, he was secretly having wild nights with
Luna.
Oriana stayed back at Seabar headquarters. Without Grant around, she played the role of a strong career woman, working overtime until 3 a.m. every day.
