    **Keepsake 555**


    **The Childhood Promise**


    Abel sprang from his chair, tension coiling through his body like a tightly wound spring. “What photo are you talking about?” he demanded, his voice barely above a whisper yetced with urgency.


    His gaze flitted between L and Tess, a whirlwind of panic and anger swirling within him. In that moment, he resembled a young girl whose heart had been shattered by the very person she had trusted the most. “Tess, you need to say something!”


    Tess, feeling the weight of the situation press down on her, rubbed her temples in frustration. The whole ordeal was draining her. “That was ages ago when we were just kids. I honestly don’t even recall any engagement. If that’s the reason you’ve been lurking around, I think it’spletely unnecessary.”


    L’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You’re trying to back out of it?”


    The words hung in the air like a heavy fog. For a fleeting moment, it felt as if the remnants of L’s already fragmented heart were disintegrating into dust, scattering away from him.


    Tess’s lips twitched slightly, a mix of annoyance and pity. “I don’t know anything about it, and I never agreed to any of this. Even if it was real back then, we’ve both grown up now. That promise shouldn’t hold any weight.”


    “It does count!” L’s voice rose, desperate and pleading.


    He could feel the finality in Tess’s tone, a wall he could not breach. Instantly, his eyes burned with frustration and hurt. He reached out, intent on grasping her wrist, but before he could make contact, Abel intervened, pushing L’s arm away with a forceful shove. “Didn’t you hear her? She said it doesn’t count!”


    Abel’s re was icy and sharp, a de of warning that cut through the tension. The fury zing in his eyes made it abundantly clear: one more misstep, and he wouldn’t hesitate to escte the confrontation.


    Truth be told, his heart raced with a mixture of fear and protectiveness.


    Sensing the escting hostility, Tess quickly stepped between the two men, her presence a barrier. Without uttering a single word, she lifted her foot and delivered a swift kick to Abel, sending him stumbling toward the door. “You too. Go back to your hotel.”


    Abel blinked, momentarily stunned by her sudden assertiveness.


    The door mmed shut behind him with a resounding bang, leaving him standing in the hallway, staring nkly at the closed door. His hair was slightly disheveled, but it was his pride thaty in tatters.


    Inside, L’s expression flickered with renewed hope, as though he was about to voice something profound.


    Bang!


    In the blink of an eye, he found himself unceremoniously shoved out the door.


    Raven peeked from behind Tess, a cheeky grin spreading across her face as she retracted her foot, looking half-apologetic yet undeniably pleased with herself. “You can’t waste time arguing with that guy.”


    With a p of her hands, she pulled Tess down to sit beside her, the air filled with a sense of camaraderie. “Steven’s already inside the factory. Everything’s going ording to n. And ording to his roommate, Nichs is working in Zone B.”


    Raven reported her findings in one breath, then eagerly epted the ss of water Tess handed her, gulping it down as if it were a refreshing elixir.


    “Alright, we’ll wait for Steven to confirm everything,” Tess replied, nodding in agreement.


    At that moment, Lyra interjected, holding a folded blueprint that she and Raven had just retrieved from Tess’s study. “If we really manage to locate Nichs, how exactly do we n to get him out?”


    Tess pondered for a moment, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. “The factory is fully residential,” she mused. “But surely there must be times when they send people out for supplies.” She paused, her mind racing through possible scenarios. “If not… then here’s what we’ll do.”


    She pointed decisively at the transport area on the map. “Steven can knock him out and bring him there. We’ll have someone waiting to pick them up.”


    Raven and Lyra exchanged nces, their eyes lighting up with understanding and agreement. They nodded in unison, clearly on board with Tess’s n.


    “Okay, I’ll send a message to Steven,” Lyra said, standing up and making her way toward the study with purpose.


    Once she left, the living room fell into afortable silence, leaving just Tess, Raven, and little La. Raven’s gaze wandered around the room before pausing briefly at the doorway, a yful smile creeping back onto her face. Turning back to Tess, she teased, “You know, Tess, L might seem a bit slow at times, but he’s actually quite sharp. Are you sure you’re not considering giving that childhood sweetheart of yours another chance?”


    Tess shot her a look of disbelief. “I told him to leave. Weren’t you the one who just kicked him out?”


    Raven scratched her head, a sheepish grin spreading across her face. “Hey, that’s different!”


    She leaned in closer, lowering her voice conspiratorially. “Come on! L’s the world’s top piano master now—fame, money, the whole package. Being with him wouldn’t be so bad, would it?”


    Her gaze drifted momentarily toward La, and then Abel’s face flickered in her mind, causing a slight frown to cross her features. Something about it felt off, a sense of unease lingering in her thoughts.


    Catching on to Raven’s matchmaking tone, Tess couldn’t help but let out a softugh. “You don’t even have a man in your life, yet you’re always worrying about mine.”


    Raven’s cheeks flushed a bright red at this retort. She shot Tess a mock re, her yful spirit shining through. “Wow, look at you! You’ve been around Abel too long; now you even talk like him!”


    Seeing Raven all riled up brought a warm chuckle from Tess, the tension that had been building earlier slowly dissipating.


    “Honestly,” Tess said softly, resting her chin on her hands, “after the divorce, I stopped caring much about love. Whether I have it or not doesn’t matter to me. Sometimes, it even feels like a burden.”


    Raven fell silent, her fiery demeanor giving way to a quiet understanding that settled deep within her.


    “In that case, that’s perfectly fine,” Raven replied softly. “Even without a partner, you still have me and Lyra.”


    She leaned back thoughtfully, a small smile creeping onto her face. Life wasn’t so bad after all.


    The three of them—brilliant minds in the tech world—held power, wealth, and status. Theycked for nothing. In their dazzling realm, perhaps they didn’t need a husband toplete their picture of perfection.


    The atmosphere in the room was calm, even warm, yet outside, the air was thick with tension.


    At the door, L and Abel stood toe-to-toe, their eyes locked in a fierce re, neither willing to yield an inch.


    “Haha! A childhood marriage contract?” Abel scoffed, his lips curling into a mocking grin. “Didn’t she just kick you out?”


    Without Tess to temper him, L’s facade of innocence and hurt dissipated, reced by a cold smirk that could slice through ice. “At least our elders made a promise. You think you’re better than me? She tossed you out first.”Conclusion


    As the dust settled from the emotional storm that had erupted, Tess found sce in the camaraderie of her friends. The earlier chaos faded into the background, reced by a sense of unity and purpose. With Raven and Lyra beside her, she realized that the bonds they shared were far more significant than any fleeting promise made in childhood. Theughter and lightness that filled the room served as a reminder that life was not solely about romantic entanglements; it was about the connections that uplifted and empowered them. Tess’s heart, once heavy with the weight of past rtionships, began to lighten, allowing her to embrace the present and the friendships that had weathered the storms of life.


    Outside, the tension between L and Abel simmered, a stark contrast to the warmth within.
