CassandraI just wanted to tease him a little. Ever since I knew he was jealous of Dylan again, and maybe if I teased him a bit, he would remember what had happened before.Sebastian’s grip on my hand felt strong. He kept staring at me, and I couldn’t hold back my true feelings for long.“Yes, you’ve always been so jealous because there are so many men who want to get close to me.”He pulled me closer, holding me in his embrace. “You mean, they want to take me away from you?”I nodded slowly. Sebastian’s expression was filled with irritation, and I could feel his heavy breathing, making my heart race. I wanted to tease him even more.But when Sebastian touched my chin, he made me look at him and rise up slightly on my toes.I could feel the tension between us, and my heartbeat was growing faster and stronger.My eyes drifted to his lips—they looked so soft, and I had no problem at all with kissing him. I was sure it would feel amazing.I thought we were really about to kiss, but it di

SebastianI truly don’t understand what just happened. How could something like this occur?I am Miles’ father. He called me Dad, and he also called Dylan Dad.Did Cassandra allow this while they were dating?And now, seeing Miles casually calling him Dad, I feel completely crushed.Because I lost my memory, he behaves like this. So… if my memory doesn’t return, might I be abandoned?At this moment, I am in shock. And with my body weakened, I finally collapsed back onto the sofa.“Dad!”Miles immediately ran toward me. He held my hand and looked at me, repeatedly calling my name.“Dad, what’s wrong with you?”“Dad, can you hear me?”I looked at Miles but couldn’t respond at all. Right now, I felt an overwhelming sadness in my heart.Then, finally, I saw Cassandra sitting beside me, holding my hand.“Sebastian, we need to go to the hospital immediately.”Even Dylan was holding onto my body. He irritated me. My love rival shouldn’t behave like this, as if I were being belittled by him!

SebastianI stayed silent in my room, doing nothing. Everyone else was busy with their own activities. Cassandra had already gone to work because there was a case she needed to handle immediately.Alden took Miles to school, and I just stayed in my room, doing nothing.Two days ago, when I visited the main Monclair family house, I found a letter I had written. It stirred my memories.At that moment, I felt a huge wave of emotions. For everything, when I was a teenager, I had regarded Cassandra as my love. But I was so selfish that I never confessed it.From the memories I had just recalled, I realized how badly I had treated Cassandra all this time. Unfortunately, I haven’t remembered everything yet.But it kept making me think about how lucky I was to have Cassandra as my partner. She forgave me and still continued to love me.Fuck. I really cursed myself for my own evil actions.Then, it seemed like we finally had a happy life full of love—but unfortunately, I ended up with amnesia.

POV 3In the morning, when he woke up, he was used to observing the woman in front of him. His memories of her were limited due to his amnesia.But his heart told him that what this woman said was true. She was his wife, and every time he thought about being together with her, it made him smile.“What are you doing, Sebastian?”Cassandra slowly opened her eyes, stretching her body slightly, which looked utterly adorable in Sebastian’s eyes.So that morning, he gave her a good morning kiss on her cheek. A little while later, they enjoyed some time rolling around on the bed together.“Are you ready now?” Cassandra asked Miles.She watched her son as he tied his own shoelaces. Every little thing her son did brought her happiness.They had a goal since yesterday, and now they were still getting ready.“All done, Mom.” Miles jumped to show off his skills.With his shoelaces tied neatly and securely, Sebastian and Cassandra smiled.Today, they were all going to the Monclair family’s main ho

CassandraSebastian absolutely didn’t want me to be left alone with Andrian.The situation felt awkward; honestly, I didn’t want to look at him at all, because of the heartache I had felt for so long.He might be able to smile in front of me, but not with me. So until now, I hadn’t looked at him.“So it was them who did this…” Andrian’s voice sounded disbelieving.He lowered his head, his face darkening. Well, I knew from before that he had always idolized Isabella, seeing her as an angel and an extraordinary woman.Now I could say to his face that this woman was truly wicked.Andrian pressed his forehead. From what Sebastian had told me before, I knew he had liked that woman. But after learning what that wicked woman had done, he quickly withdrew.Maybe there was a hint of regret in him. Things like this had already happened, and I felt no pity for either him or Isabella.“Now you’ve lost your memory,” Andrian glanced at me. “What about your wedding then?”“I will still go through wi

Cassandra“You must have been so scared.”I could feel his sincerity when he said that. Sebastian didn’t just stay silent—he pulled me closer to him and gently stroked my head.I had just told him about what had happened to him—the accident he suffered while saving me.I still felt guilty about it, wishing I could have done something to prevent it.“Don’t feel guilty, Sandra. I’m very happy because I was able to protect the woman I love.”Hearing that, I nodded softly. Even though this man had lost his memory, his heart could still feel. As I looked at him smiling, I smiled too, even though a heaviness lingered in my chest.“That’s why you have to finish your food.”I fed him again. He ate heartily, finishing his meal and taking his medicine.“Then… you said we would soon hold the wedding ceremony. Haven’t we already married, Sandra?”He wanted to know many things. I knew that even though he was acting accepting of me at the moment, with the memory lost in his head, he was confused. H

ElinaWhat happened earlier brought me closer to Lucius. A confession from both of us—a man who worries about me and cares for me.He immediately reached out his hand when we finally arrived, and along the way to my house, he let me lean on him.I didn’t know what was happening to me, but I felt truly weak and comfortable being near him.Lucius opened the door, and as I stepped out of the car, taking his outstretched hand, I felt something that might have seemed excessive. I mean, right now I truly felt relieved seeing my home.I glanced at Lucius beside me, he seemed to be making sure I arrived home safely.Once I was inside, I gave a smile to my parents who welcomed me.“Mom, Dad.” I greeted them weakly.“I want to rest.” I gently touched my mom’s hand.The exhaustion still weighed heavily on me, so I didn’t want to make things worse. I had already tried to smile while speaking—I didn’t want them to start worrying about me.As I took a step on the stairs, I paused for a moment and g

ElinaWhen I heard that kind of question from him, I truly didn’t expect Lucius to ask it.I mean, he had met Jonathan several times. From any angle, he should have known that man had nothing to be proud of.Didn’t he seem so cruel and terrible?Going back to him would only make me even more foolish.My hands clenched into fists as memories of everything Jonathan had done flooded my mind.Even when our child was gone, all he did was blame everything on me.My fists tightened, and my voice grew heavier as I spoke.“Go back to him?”It felt like fire was burning in my chest.“No way.”Lucius didn’t seem to question what I had just said to him. I didn’t know why he doubted the words coming out of my mouth.“You might just be angry, so you won’t admit it.”All this time, I thought he was a great man who relied on logic. But his words now made it seem as if he was asking me to go back to him.At that moment, I started to think that maybe I had made a mistake toward him. Maybe I had only ca

ElinaI had a lot of work to do, and even though I felt tired, I didn’t stop. I just changed the place where I worked.Sometimes I would be in the garden of where I was staying, letting the fresh air and greenery relax my eyes.If I wanted a change of scenery, I would go to the local food spots here. Tasting different foods and strolling around made my mind clearer.Not all the team members were working; most of them were taking their downtime properly.A few hours ago, I saw Raven updating his social media. Watching him enjoying his time, I paused for a moment. I almost sent him a message to ask where he was, but thankfully, I didn’t.Finally, today we were heading home, and I thought I might see Raven. But instead, I saw Lucius waiting for me.He immediately straightened his suit as he stood up.“I heard you’re heading home today.”I nodded. After the message he sent two days ago, we hadn’t contacted each other at all.I had been so focused on my work that I didn’t think much about

ElinaI felt like I was hearing his words over and over in my head. It really felt like I was teasing him.I almost wanted to invite him to spend the night with me…Looking into his eyes, which showed no sign of hesitation as he said that, made me nervous instead. Raven might even take it seriously.If Raven had the courage, then he and I would be together all night.Anxious, I couldn’t breathe, and my strong heartbeat slowed as if signaling that it was about to reach its peak.I regretted my earlier boldness—I shouldn’t have said it, and I wanted to disappear from his presence immediately.But I didn’t have the strength to do so. I froze, embarrassment burning all over me. I felt like vanishing from the world for a moment.Raven tilted his head slightly, and I panicked. I thought I would push his head away right then and there.CRASH!The sound of shattering startled me, but it also managed to immediately shift the situation I was in.“Ah, you weren’t careful.”“Just broke a plate. A

ElinaI felt nervous about what Raven was doing. We went together to the dinner venue—yes, just the two of us.When I accepted his offer, I thought we would be going together with the others. Walking beside him made my heart feel calm—or at least, that’s what I tried to believe. In reality, I was nervous right now.As we walked, some people looked at us but didn’t approach. Those who knew Raven would smile, and standing beside him made me feel uneasy.The gossip about Raven must be very intriguing to people. I was worried that reporters who didn’t know me would highlight it as if Raven was on a date with a woman.Maybe next time I should bring some kind of ID to show that I’m part of the team—that what we’re doing is for work purposes.That’s all…For some reason, though, it felt a little heavy—like my heart was contradicting itself, insisting that walking together like this was just for work. I mean, if Raven ever asked me to walk with him alone, of course I would accept.I thought t

ElinaThere are moments when I feel that Raven is very familiar to me. Honestly, because he has the same amber eyes as Lucius, I often find myself comparing the two of them.Their voices are different, even though both are deep. And someone like Lucius—a sole heir—would never put himself in danger like this.I tried to think logically. He is an only child.But this time, when Raven called my first name, I truly felt that he resembled Lucius. So now, I stared at him without blinking.“He does like to cause trouble. Isn’t it annoying, Miss Everhart?”I blinked and lowered my gaze. It seemed that because I was too tired and thinking about too many things, my mind was becoming overwhelmed—making something different feel the same.I know that maybe the heat from the sun made my head feel a little hot, and it could even make me hallucinate a bit.I quietly let out a breath.“Miss Everhart, are you alright?”I was startled by the touch of his hand on my arm. Raven seemed to really like physi

FarahI’ve really been thinking about what Mrs. Lenka said. The only person who knows about my relationship at this company is Helena. She doesn’t care at all about Diego and always says that man is awful.But this time, I heard a story from her that was quite different. While applying lipstick to her lips, she spoke, "You know, Farah, there’s someone from the marketing department who seems to like Mr. Diego." Then she put the lipstick down and looked at me. "He’s a fan."After hearing what Mrs. Lenka said earlier, that you’re expensive, it made me think in an uncomfortable way. I had always thought that with our relationship, there wouldn’t be any interference at all. Until I couldn’t even respond to Helena’s words, I ended up clearing my throat.I truly lost control of my body, shifting my gaze several times until Helena bumped my shoulder pretty hard."What’s wrong with you?"Kalianna stared at me with her brows furrowed. "Are you afraid your boyfriend might be taken by another wom

LenkaThe first day of her last day at school, she had been looking forward to it for a long time. She was so excited that she couldn’t even sleep well the night before.I had also been watching the front of the house earlier, hoping to see if she had come home so I could hear her stories.When I heard the sound of the car engine in front of the house, I immediately stood up from my position and walked towards the door to greet them. A servant helped me.When the door opened, I looked at the car, and finally, Felix and Michael got out."Mom!"While holding her bag and running quickly, she came towards me. Her small steps looked so full of excitement, and I spread my arms. She gave me a hug."How was your day?"I gently rubbed her head, and a few seconds later, I looked at her."Mom, I have so many friends, they're really amazing."Her sparkling eyes made me nod. I’m happy that she’s experiencing happiness like this. Because she often spends time with people who aren’t her age, it must

LenkaThat day, when I opened my eyes, tears streamed down my cheeks, so I wiped them away several times. The feeling was so uncomfortable that it made me very sad; the sound of sobbing could be heard.“Lenka…”“Lenka, what’s wrong?”Michael held my hand. He had just woken up and was watching me carefully, full of concern. He asked me repeatedly, but I still didn’t answer. The crying grew louder until finally, I hugged him tightly.It took me a few minutes to calm myself in that very chaotic situation, then I looked at him. Gently, he wiped my face. His deep eyes seemed to reach into my thoughts, so I hugged him again.“Michael… I had a very bad dream. It was a dream where you treated me so coldly that my feelings hurt deeply. I think it really was a reality…”My voice was like that when I said it, while Michael’s eyes trembled. Then he looked at me and hugged me tightly.“Forgive me, what happened in the past is haunting you again…”He stroked my head repeatedly.“That will never hap

MichaelA letter—just now, a letter had landed in my hand, delivered by Diego, who was looking at me with a calm expression, though in reality, he was always calculating.“Charles is asking to meet me?”I looked at Diego, who was clearly bothering me, making me sigh.“You didn’t tell him I’ve already retired?”I had no desire left to meet him, to talk about anything else or to listen to his plans. I knew he had plenty of ideas and often created trouble for others.Diego let his shoulders drop slightly.“Of course I told him, Mr. Michael. But he said this is something important, and I suspect he might already be in this city.”Just like before, he never listened to others. To him, we were close acquaintances—but to me, he was nothing but a bother. That’s why, for the past seven years, we hadn’t met even once.“Boss Michael, Charles has waited patiently for years. He wants to meet you and your new family, maybe even to ease his longing.”That line didn’t quite suit Diego, but in the end

LenkaMichael had just arrived home and was greeted by Felix, who hugged him tightly. I approached and observed him; he looked tired but still very handsome.“I just met Diego’s girlfriend.”That caught my attention, so I looked at him more closely and helped him to sit down.He sat beside me while I awaited the look in his eyes. “You met her? Why didn’t you bring me along?”I was also very curious to see the face of the woman who had made Diego fall in love—she must be someone extraordinary.“Next time, you can meet her. Besides, she’s been to your café before.”I tried to remember but didn’t know anything about it, so I furrowed my brows. “Maybe we can work together, right?”Diego exhaled, then slowly nodded his head. “Of course we can. I’ll tell her.”I heard that if she was an ordinary person, she worked in Michael’s office. She was just an ordinary person like me, and maybe we could become good friends. At least I wouldn’t feel so lonely living in a different environment, even th

FarahI could feel a very strong pressure coming from him.After all, you don’t expect to meet him. The overwhelming feeling made me anxious, but Diego, who was beside me, spoke up.“Boss Thiago, this is my girlfriend.” He said it firmly and briefly.I felt panic inside me; there could have been a mistake because of what he said. I thought maybe it would be better to speak more kindly, perhaps with a smile on his face.“You really brought her.”Hearing his calm and firm voice made me pay attention to Mr. Michael. He truly had a deep expression and genuinely possessed great charisma.“Yes, Boss Michael. This is the woman I have fallen in love with.”My heart raced after hearing what he said. I was silent and felt warmth inside me. Because what he said really made me happy, but I had to maintain my composure.The man in front of us nodded. “Alright.”“Thank you, Boss Michael.”Then Diego turned and left the room just like that. I was very surprised by the situation. I really didn’t expe

Edwin's POVI didn't realize that loving someone would make me feel things I didn't know. Although my first encounter with Catherine was not good, it still left a deep impression on me.She was just an innocent woman who knew little about the world around her, even worse than me, who had always received a private education before deciding to attend a public university.However, the more I got to know her and talked to her, the more I found out that she wasn't just a spoiled child from a rich family. She had her own difficulties and realized that she couldn't just stand by and accept the injustices that were always said in favor of her family.We also became friends in the end, but something went wrong.I didn't have a problem with it at all. In fact, I liked it a lot. That woman had a lot of eyes around her, who noticed her and were obviously interested in her from a mild level to infatuation, just like her best friend.Although I didn't really understand the concept of love or anythi

Benny's POVI was very surprised to hear that Catherine would marry Edwin. Her father had rejected the proposal letter sent by my father a while ago, so I called her immediately."Yes, I'm going to marry Edwin, Benny." She answered without hiding anything else.I was silent for a long time, unable to believe what I was hearing even though Catherine had admitted it herself. She didn't seem to realize what I was feeling until she started telling me what had happened.My frown deepened as she told me, unable to contain my shock about what had happened to her. The fact that the woman I liked was pregnant with a man who had been hanging out with us for the past few days, making friends as usual.The man didn't show that their relationship had changed, but the truth was more than I could have imagined. The threat that I felt from Edwin finally came true. He usurped my position to be the only man who could be by her side.In the end, the relationship I tried so hard to build with Catherine m

Catherine's POV"Wow, you really made my parents speechless, Edwin."I praised him, feeling a little amazed by the man who could make me look at my father, who could only be silent without being able to do anything. My mother also looked very surprised and watched the man stunned, but still, my father's reaction was the best thing I had ever seen.No one had ever rivaled him, not even Daniel. My father only relented or made compromises regarding my brother, unlike when dealing with Edwin, who seemed to have slapped him to reality.We were already outside my house. I had deliberately escorted him to the residence fence because I didn't want to be with my parents and still wanted to chat with the man who had caused such a stir inside our house.The man snorted softly. "I know someone like your father. He wouldn't dare to contradict someone like me."I nodded, remembering my father's face, which could only harden, but I could not say anything. After all, Edwin's family was far more impor

Catherine's POV"I am happy for your relationship, Catherine and Young Master Duncan, " my father said with a disgusting smile. I had no idea that we would become a family so soon."He laughed to himself while I felt increasingly uncomfortable with the old man's increasingly blatant attitude. My father did not hide his pleasure at all with what Edwin and I had said today after my examination at the hospital.My gaze fell on the man sitting next to me. He still looked calm, giving me a quick glance as he reached out to take one of my hands. This made me feel less alone among my greedy family members.My father still maintained a smile, looking at Edwin and me in turn. "The relationship between you two should be kept a secret immediately so as not to cause any inconvenience to Young Master, don't you think?" He looked at the man and then at me with a faint smile."You are very clever, Catherine." His gaze pierced me. "You've managed to find a wonderful future husband for our family."I

Catherine's POVI was shocked by the man's words and looked at him. I liked him, but I wasn't sure about his feelings for me after finding out I was pregnant. After all, his sweet treatment back then and our current situation are different things.I swallowed my saliva and nodded. "Yes, Duncan. This baby is your son."I shifted my gaze in another direction. The man was probably angry. We had done it that time with the same desire, sharing the warmth of an intimate activity I had never experienced before. Still, it would be to my detriment if he was like any other man.He might turn out to be selfish and not care about me anymore after sleeping with me. I've heard several times from my friends that when a woman gets pregnant during a one-night stand, she has only two options. Keep the baby with no one or abort it and experience pain for who knows how long.Neither is good, and I don't want to go through it alone.One thing's for sure: in most of the stories I've heard, the man who spen

Catherine's POVWe arrived at a nice hospital, but I felt uneasy. I didn't feel dizzy anymore and was able to walk well, but Edwin was still holding me as if he was afraid I would falter again like before we arrived at this place.I looked at the man walking next to me. "I don't need treatment, Duncan. I'm already fine.""You can't." He shook his head without looking at me. "The doctor should at least check on your sudden limp while walking. He can prescribe medicine for you later."I exhaled, feeling his hand around my shoulder getting tighter, as well as his other hand clasping mine. I felt like I was getting too much attention to the point of feeling uncomfortable, but I was still grateful that he seemed genuinely worried about me."Alright.... I'll do it." I finally said.He nodded.This was my first time in a public hospital so being here felt quite strange. There were a lot of people and most of the people waiting around us were some women who looked pregnant or with their part
