Riley's POV
The past week has been absolute hell, worse than any beating I've ever endured. I've been trapped in this house, supposedly focusing on schoolwork, but mostly drowning in my own tears. I made it clear to the security team that Caleb wasn't welcome here, and thankfully, they've respected that boundary. The guys have tried visiting a few times, desperately attempting to convince me that nothing happened between Stella and Caleb. Part of me believes them. Stella has always been a manipulative liar. But everything else I screamed at him was the raw truth. We always had an expiration date anyway. This was inevitable.
