The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2218

“Valor, can’t you see that you’re just setting yourself up to be hurt? You’re honestly telling me you don’t want to cut ties with him? I mean I just don’t get it, girl. He’s bad news, and I can’t stand by and watch you fall for his tricks. You’re going to get hurt if you keep this up!”

Aurora asked again, a pained smile on her face.

The camera captured an escalating argument between Aurora and Valor, set against the backdrop of the beach where they had grown up together. They had chosen this spot today, a place woven with childhood memories, to have a heart-to-heart about Valor’s new boyfriend, David.

This beach had been their secret haven, their sacred space just for the two of them. But a few days ago, Aurora had learned that Valor had brought David here, and suddenly, the beach felt tainted, stripped of its significance.

“Do you even remember what this place means to us? The first time we found this spot, for we swore we’d be best friends forever. And now, you’re willing to throw that away guy?”

Valor shook her head, her heart torn between the loyalty to her friend and the pull of new love. She could not fathom why Aurora was so angry.

She thought Aurora would be happy for her; after all, she had found someone she liked. More importantly, Valor had never wanted to leave Aurora behind to ride off into the sunset with David.
