That night, Adrian could not close his eyes.

The hotel room was dark, the lamp had been turned off long ago, yet his mind spun restlessly, refusing him rest. He lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, until at last he rose, walked toward the window, and gazed at the city drowned in the glow of its lights.

And his thoughts, unwillingly, carried him back to the past.

---

Years ago.

That afternoon, Deviana had come to meet him in the park.

Her face was bright, her hair caught by the breeze, her eyes sparkling the moment she saw him. In her hands she carried a small box—home-cooked lunch, made by her own hands.

“I know you’re busy,” Deviana said with a shy smile, “so I brought you lunch.”

Adrian had looked at her with conflicted emotions. That girl—she was always thoughtful, always attentive, as if she didn’t care how harsh the world had been to him.

But instead of receiving her gift with warmth, he had answered with cold words.

    “Adrian! Stop calling me all the time, Vanessa!” Adrian’s voice rose as his phone buzzed for the umpteenth time that night.He threw the phone onto the table, breathing hard. Before he could calm himself, the apartment doorbell rang sharply. Adrian hurried to the door and found Leviana standing there in a striking red dress.“Adrian, we need to talk.” Leviana’s gaze was sharp; her thin smile cut like a blade.Adrian snorted. “You too? I’ve had enough of this.”Leviana stepped inside without waiting for permission. “If you don’t listen, you’ll regret it. You know I never joke about these things.”Adrian clenched his fists. “You’re both trapping me. Vanessa with her cries, you with your ambition. Do you think I’m a puppet?”Leviana looked at him with glittering eyes. “I only want you back, Adrian. Everyone knows we were the perfect pair. Don’t tell me your heart still belongs to Deviana.”That name tightened Adrian’s chest. He turned away, trying to avoid Leviana’s stare. “I don’t want

    “Adrian! Do you think I’m playing?!” Leviana’s voice rose, cutting through the silence of Adrian’s living room that night.Adrian rubbed his face roughly, pacing back and forth. “Leviana, I’m exhausted… don’t start this now. I just got home from the office.”“Exhausted?” Leviana sneered, folding her arms. “You still love Deviana, don’t you? That’s why you can’t answer me honestly.”Before Adrian could reply, his phone rang. Vanessa’s name blinked on the screen.Leviana looked on with contempt. “Answer it. I bet that fragile woman is whining again, begging you to rescue her.”Adrian hesitated, then swiped to pick up. “Hello?”Vanessa’s voice was panicked and thin, dripping with dependence. “Adrian… I can’t breathe. Everyone hates me. Please don’t leave me. I… I could die if I’m alone.”Adrian closed his eyes. “Vanessa, calm down. I will—”Leviana slapped the phone out of his hand; it nearly hit the floor. “Enough! How long will you let these two women strangle you? You don’t even have

    “Adrian, stop calling me!”Deviana’s voice trembled, yet it carried firm resolve as she answered the incoming call. Without giving Adrian a chance to respond, she pressed end call. Her breathing grew unsteady, her chest aching every time she heard that name.The phone rang again. Adrian’s name flashed on the screen. Deviana gripped the device tightly, then slammed it onto her desk with a harsh movement.“Enough!” she whispered to herself, eyes reddening.From the small sofa in the corner of the studio, Lila looked at her with concern. “It’s him again?” she asked softly.Deviana gave a short nod. “He never stops, Lila. I’ve made it clear—I don’t want to see him.”Lila stood, walked over, and placed a hand on Deviana’s shoulder. “You have to stay firm. Adrian only brings pain, Dev. You’ve suffered enough because of him. Don’t let him back in.”Deviana buried her face in her hands. “But why does my heart still tremble every time he appears? Why do I still feel… hope?”“Because you once l

    “I won’t let Leviana take you back, Adrian!” Vanessa’s voice rang sharply through the corridor of the luxury hotel, the click of her stilettos echoing as she rushed toward him.Adrian drew in a long breath, straightening his posture. “Vanessa, please—don’t cause a scene here.”Before Vanessa could grab his hand, another voice cut in, smooth and teasing.“A scene? Oh, Adrian…” Leviana approached with a dazzling smile, her black gown swaying elegantly. “I only wanted to greet the man who once let me go too soon. Is that such a crime?”Vanessa turned sharply, her face stiffening. “Leviana! Do you think this is some kind of game? Adrian isn’t yours anymore!”Leviana chuckled softly, her gaze locked unwaveringly on Adrian. “Not mine? Or was he never truly yours to begin with?”Tension rippled through the hall. Several guests at the business gala paused their conversations to watch, whispers beginning to spread.---Deviana stood at a distance, her body frozen. She hadn’t wanted to be here,

    “Leviana… wait!”Adrian quickened his steps, catching the woman’s arm just as she left the grand hotel ballroom where the business event had taken place.Leviana turned, a faint smile tugging at her lips as if she had been expecting this moment. Her elegant black gown shimmered beneath the hallway lights, radiating an aura both graceful and piercing.“At last, you’re alone, Adrian. I thought you were going to pretend you didn’t know me back there in front of everyone.”Adrian drew in a deep breath, tension etched across his face. “Why are you back? Why show up so suddenly like this?”Leviana folded her arms across her chest, her steps slow yet deliberate as she closed the distance between them. “I’m tired of hiding. For years I tried to forget you, but the truth is… I never could.”Adrian fell silent, his gaze a storm of anger, confusion, and unease. “Leviana, don’t stir up trouble. Life is complicated enough—”“Complicated?” Leviana cut him off, her tone sharp. “Am I the one making i

    “A-Adrian?”The voice rang clear above the hum of the ballroom, freezing Adrian mid-step.He turned sharply. Standing before him was a graceful woman in an elegant black gown, waves of hair spilling over her shoulders. Those eyes… eyes he had once known so well.“Leviana…” Adrian’s breath caught in his throat.Leviana smiled sweetly, but it was no mere polite smile. There was meaning in her gaze, as if time had never erased anything between them. She stepped closer, her hand brushing against Adrian’s arm as though they had never parted.“I’m not mistaken, am I? You’re still the same… only more authoritative now,” she said in a teasing tone.Adrian stepped back half a pace, trying to keep distance. “What are you doing here?” he asked quickly, his voice strained.“A business event, of course. The fashion world always brings old faces back together, doesn’t it?” Leviana let out a soft laugh, deliberately drawing attention.Heads began to turn. Whispers rippled through the crowd.“Isn’t t
