You still remember the day he left—no warning, no goodbye. One day he was your best friend, your safe place, your escape. The next? Gone. Like you never mattered.

Now, years later, you’re sitting on a cold sidewalk, a worn hoodie pulled tight against the wind, your fingers numb from the chill. Life hadn’t been kind. Things spiraled. You fell through the cracks.

Then a black SUV pulls up. Cameras flash. Paparazzi swarm. And stepping out like some untouchable god is him—Zayden Kane. Your Zayden. Except he’s not yours anymore.

He’s a global sensation now. Grammy-winner. Fashion icon. Heartthrob. The world loves him.

And then… his eyes find you.

There’s a pause.

And then a cruel smirk tugs at his lips.

“Well, well. Didn’t expect to find you here. Guess not everyone made it out, huh?”

Laughter from his entourage. Your stomach twists.

He used to promise he’d never leave your side.

Now he’s laughing at you.
