Those who have forgotten Tyler, he was Kiara's first love and once friend. He rejected her the cruelest way possible and humiliated her.

Kiara's POV:

"I don't have a good feeling about this doc, what if this messes up my eyesight forever?! I mean, I'm the only eligible heir of Haron enterprises, don't you think it would be a tragedy if I die at this young age? I'm-"

"Ms. Haron, you're just panicking. I'd like to assure you sincerely that nothing would go wrong. I've been treating the members of the Haron family with dedication and honesty for as long as I can recall. You are the young mistress of Harons and I will put every bit of knowledge and effort I can muster in this operation," the unamused opthalmologist muttered with irritation.

Of course he would be irritated. It was completely normal.

If I were a doctor and my patients would constantly question me about the probability of their death despite of my smooth medical skills and PhD degree, I would just smack them silly.

"So, when are you starting this operation?" Despite my efforts, I failed to conceal my irritated tone. I was sitting here for hours for my LASIK surgery and no one bothered checking up on me. The sooner they got over with it the better, because I was growing more impatient and afraid as the time passed.

I could've called Sinn but I didn't want to bother him. Stephanie was also engrossed with her library work, so I was left to tend myself.

I would be lying if I said I didn't feel hurt. But I was used to it. I was used to being abandoned. Just like the name calling.

I had plans with Stephanie today, we were supposed to go out for shopping after this thing. Of course I need to wear glasses, my soon to be new lenses wouldn't be prone to UV light for at least a week.

I tried to change the direction of my thoughts so that I wouldn't panick. My mind drifted off to my incomplete assignment, my debts, my aunt and finally Sinn.

Sinn was behaving weird lately.

I mean he was still good to me, he still took me out and behaved like the best boyfriend in the world but it was too good. Too good to be true.

His acts were like as if it were rehersed in a perfect, flawless manner. His moves were graceful and toungue as pliable as an English from the 1700's. He was always sure to check on me, even if he wasn't meeting me.

There were a lot of sides to him. I don't know which side was real and which one was fake. Sometimes I felt like he was wheedling with me. It was like a tricky Sudoku, the answer was right in front of me but I just couldn't catch it.

I felt a slight pinch in my arm and I knew that they injected the anesthesia. Soon my eyelids weighted like a stone and my vision became blurry. Giving into the medicines, I lost myself into the realm of the dreams.

_____________________________________________

"So, you lost those hideous glasses?"

"Uhm."

"And can have a look around without wanting to cut your head off?"

"Uhm."

"Can you take your sunglasses off?"

"Nohmm."

Stephanie kept staring at me with her suspicious eyes as I devoured the sandwich in front of me like a starved piggy. It's been awhile since I was released and Stephanie dragged me out for shopping. We thought it'd be a great idea to have a meal before we started. Sinn's birthday was nearby and I thought it would be a great idea to buy a gift for him.

I didn't know what he liked, I guess I would just rely on my instincts. Maybe a nice perfume or a tie would work just fine.

"What are you thinking?" Stephanie's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Nothing, I just need to buy a gift for my boyfriend," I stated, taking another mouthful of sandwich. It tasted heavenly!

"Kia, this boyfriend of yours, I don't have a good feeling about him. I mean who just comes up to a newbie and asks her to be his girlfriend? That's odd," frustration laced her voice as she said this.

"I mean we are not in exactly that kind of soul wrenching, earth shattering relationship. It was kind of a mutual agreement and I think we've come a long way."

"Why did you accept him in the first place?"

"Now how do I explain this....." I sighed, "I had a crush on him since he helped me with my dorm room and since I saw him. Stephanie, no one ever cared for me as he did. He treated me so well and when he asked me to go out with him I just couldn't deny him."

Stephanie only nodded her head like a philosopher, "Do you love him?"

Did I?

I mean he was really good to me and he treated me so well. I shared my secrets with him and he would also do it. He was the only person who never taunted me about my appearance or get up, in fact I wanted to doll myself up once in a while just for him.

Whenever I would share something disturbing about my past, he would stay silent. He wouldn't throw any snarky or judgemental remarks or show me pity. I felt relieved with him. With him I felt I was alive, not an ugly puppet who runs on it's master's command.

He made me feel human, safe. I liked his company, I liked how he treated me. A small part of me that was starving for love all these years was satisfied.

I was like a broken vase and he glued me together again. I admired him for that, I really wanted him for that. But love?

"Earth to Kiara?" Stephanie's amused voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"I was only thinking," I replied with a bored tone.
"You were thinking about him wasn't you?"

"N-No, I wasn't," I stuttered.

"Oh come on! You can think about him! He's your man after all."

My man? I smiled.

"Oh look who's blushing!" She squealed.

"Okay, whatever, let's go buy some stuffs," I threw at her as I dragged her out of the food chain.

Two hours later I was holding 5 bags and Stephanie was browsing through the clothes. Well, most of the shopping were done by her. I just offered my 'help'.

"Oh look! This will go great with your complexion!"

I turned around and saw a beautiful crepe coloured dress. It was pretty but this was a high end shop and I could barely afford it.

"No Steph, I don't like it," I said, trying to hide my disappointment.

"Doesn't matter, I'm taking it!"

I nodded my head sadly and focused on the crowd. Suddenly a familiar silhouette attracted my attention. It was a man, he was around six feet but his get up made him look even taller. He had blonde hair and was talking to another girl, whom I recognized as Sarah. She was Sinn's ex.

I tried hard to remember the male as his profile looked familiar.

Blonde hair, brown eyes.....

Tyler?

What was he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be in England?

Before I knew my legs were taking me to his direction. My mind went numb all on a sudden and rage filled me. This was the boy who broke me. I did everything possible for him but he was the one that humiliated me, shattering my self respect and confidence.

But what was Sarah doing with him? How did he know her?

What she did next made me stop on my tracks. She leaned up and placed a swift peck on Tyler's lips.

My fists clenched and unclenched on it's own. I was fighting with myself. I wanted to hit him bad, but I knew it wasn't the best idea.

Since I was wearing glasses, there wasn't a slight chance of them recognizing me. I decided to follow them.

Sarah spoke something in Tyler's ear and his smug look only deepened. He was smirking like a devil, a victorious devil. Suddenly Sarah took out her phone and showed him something, which made him laugh out loud. But a call in her phone interrupted their conversation and she left hastily, but not before placing a scorching kiss on his lips. Yuck.

"BOO!"

I gasped out loud and turned around only to discover Stephanie grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Bit¢h you scared me!" I glared at her.

"Sorry? Here, an apology gift," she said as she handed me a Chanel bag. I frowned and opened it.

"Wow!" I admired the dress as I took it out.

It was the same dress from the previous shop!

"I knew you wanted it. And this dress looks it was tailored just for you! So I bought it."

"Are you sure? I mean it's expensive-"

"Now you're becoming sappy," she rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, "just shut up and take it."

I nodded happily and hugged her. She was awesome!

"Hey! Release me! I have a girlfriend!"

"Okay," I giggled as I released her. I looked back to the direction where Tyler and Sarah was standing but I found him gone.

"Steph, can you go check out more shops? I just need to check on something..."

"Okay," she nodded as she went off to another direction.

Suspicions clouded my mind as I searched for him. What was he doing with Sarah? What did she show him?

"Looking for me?" I yelped as an all too familiar malicious tone interrupted my thoughts.

"Oh my sweet little Kia.... How are you?" Tyler whispered in my ear, making my stomach churn in disgust.

"Better than you," I replied through my clenched teeth. He only chuckled like a psychopath and said, "Sinn hasn't been taking care of you? Oh well, looks like I need to have a talk with him..."

"Don't you dare!"

"Oooh, my little birdie grew new wings?" I felt sick as I heard the nickname he gave me.

"Birdie, Do you really think that Sinn is going to come for your aid? Did you see yourself in the mirror? Just because he talks sweet doesn't mean that he is your knight in shinning armour."

"Shut up! Sinn is not a manwhore like you."

His face grew grim as a cold smirk crept on his lips, "and what if I prove you wrong?"

"Sinn might be a lot of things but not a manwhore like you! He is not as disgusting as you!"

"Ow?" He took a hold of my hand and led me through the crowd.

"Let me go! Where the fu¢k are you taking me?" I screamed but the iron grip on my hand only tightened.

He stopped abruptly and pointed to a shop. My eyes followed his finger and what I saw turned my hands cold.

It was Sinn, standing with Sarah. He looked bored as she scrolled through the clothes.

"Enjoy." Tyler whispered in my ear and he was gone.

My eyes turned as heavy as stones as they only focused on the male that I claim to be my boyfriend and my saviour.

I placed one of my shivering hands on his back and he turned around. His eyes grew wide, it was clear that he was panicking.

I only stared at him without any emotions.

"K-Kia?"
