I kept thinking about what Ryan had said–every word felt like a heavy stone pressing down on my heart.

Ryan called it his battlefield–a place of power plays and schemes, fought without smoke or gunfire, but people still get hurt, and blood is still spilled.

I squeezed my eyes shut and told Jared, “Don’t go after him. I broke up with him.”

“When did that happen?” Jared looked genuinely shocked. “Wait, you mean just now?”

I shook my head. “No, it was about half a month ago. It was pretty amicable, I guess.”

“Amicable?” Jared scoffed. “If it was really that peaceful, then why did he take off? And why do you look so out of it?”

I was stunned, my mouth half open, wanting to say something but not even knowing where to start.

Jared crossed his arms, sarcasm dripping from his voice. “See? Love isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s just dressed up to look nice, but in the end, it just leaves you hurt.”

I couldn’t argue with him, but I didn’t believe that love always ended in pain. Ryan hadn’t hurt me–he was just trying to protect me in his own way.

“Oh? Did I strike a nerve? Is that why you’re speechless?” Jared looked down at me with that superior attitude, clearly annoyed. “Victoria, if you’re going to mess around with love, you need a heart of steel. If you keep getting your heart broken every time you fall for someone, I seriously doubt you’ll last as long as you did in your previous life.”

“Jared, you’re so loud,” I snapped, turning away from him.

Realizing he’d crossed a line, Jared lowered his voice. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just don’t want to see you get yourself hospitalized over some guy.”

I knew Jared was only acting this way because he cared, even if his worry made
