[Melisa attempted to commit suicide out of jealousy, the Stone Family’s prince sacrificed himself for love.]
What?
I shivered, tapping the notification repeatedly until the video loaded. In the footage, Melisa leapt from a rooftop and without hesitation, Cody followed, holding her tightly as they hit the ground.
I couldn’t shake the memories of Cody always insisting Melisa was like a sister whenever I saw them flirting. Yet here he was, willing to give up his life to fulfill Melisa’s irrational act. Would a brother truly do this for his sister?
As I sat there, trying to make sense of it all, several young women walked past me, chatting excitedly. “Did you see the news? Cody’s proving his love, ready to sacrifice himself for his girl.”
“Yeah, because Melisa’s worth it. He never appreciated her before, but now he’s willing to go to extremes for her.”
“It’s like a story straight out of a romance novel. So tragic and romantic!”
Their words cut through me like a knife, adding to the turmoil in my heart.
As the voices faded into the distance, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, even as tears gathered at the corners of my eyes.
