Arcaa Hearts

**Synopsis:** Thea has loved Ryder, her childhood best friend, for as long as she can remember, but she buried her feelings to safeguard their unbreakable bond. That bond fractures when Ryder’s cunning and jealous girlfriend perceives Thea as a threat. Determined to eliminate her rival, she weaves a web of lies, exploiting Ryder’s deep-seated loyalty—a trait forged through years with Thea. “I can’t believe Thea would betray you like this.” she sobs, casting herself as the victim while planting seeds of doubt. With subtle manipulations, she positions herself as Ryder’s sole confidante. Her scheme intensifies as she twists half-truths into a narrative of deceit. “Thea’s been pretending all along—she’s manipulative.” she insists, wounding Ryder’s pride and stoking his insecurities. When he wavers, she presses harder: “You’re too kind to see how people use you. I’m protecting you.” Her words erode his trust until he’s convinced Thea has betrayed him. The lie solidifies during a shattering confrontation. “Ryder, please listen,” Thea pleads, but he recoils, his voice cold: “You’re nothing to me now.” Her desperate cries—“You’re believing her over me?”—only deepen his resolve. “I don’t want to see your face again,” he snaps, leaving Thea broken and sobbing in the dust. Years later, Thea, now a struggling waitress, faces a cruel twist of fate when Ryder walks into her restaurant, his fiancée—her old rival—at his side. “I told you to stay away,” he sneers. “Ry...Mr. Thompson,” she stammers, “I never thought we’d cross paths again.” His reply cuts deep: “I meant it when I said I never wanted to see you.” Locking eyes, she whispers, “I didn’t mean to hurt you,” but he scoffs, “Hurt? I hate you for what you did to her.” The boy she once knew is gone, replaced by a man consumed by bitterness. As their past unravels, whispers of the truth begin to surface, threatening to expose the rival’s long-buried deception. Will Ryder confront the betrayal he’s clung to for years? Can Thea and Ryder reclaim the bond they lost, or will the lies that tore them apart leave their hearts irreparably fractured? --- This Novel is not translated but an original work written by author Audenzia_16.

I heard him ask taking me off my thoughts. "Huh?" "You were smiling." "Oh. I was...." "Can I kiss you?" He asked looking at my lips. "Here?" I asked now, my heart beating hard against my chest, our first kiss could happen now. "Yeah?" He nodded, I could see his Adam's apple go up and down as he swallowed, I bit my lips, nervously. I smiled approvingly, almost getting up from the bench where I sat. "No sit." He said coming closer to sit next to me. The bench was quite small so we were so close to each other. He leaned in and I could smell him more the closer he got to my face. His lips were now inches away from mine and the moment they touched I closed my eyes, I didn't know why but I did. He didn't put his tongue in my mouth, it was as simple as it could get, just a warm kiss and I as glad he didn't. When he lips left mine, I opened my eyes licking my lips.
