Elina

The past few months haven’t been easy for me. Sometimes I experienced anxiety and nightmares that left me feeling down.

The pain from the wounds I carried ran so deep that I had to go through psychological therapy sessions.

Losing my child truly shook me. Over these past months, I’ve struggled hard to get through that hardship.

I didn’t want to feel that kind of pain again.

I’m fortunate to finally return to my real family. As the daughter of the Everhart family, I was welcomed warmly, wh

    ElinaFor a few moments, I froze, then felt my cheeks heat up because of the situation. I quickly tried to pull away from him.I couldn’t say anything; all I could do was keep staring at him, every muscle in my body seemingly charged with electricity.Raven’s chuckle made me more aware of myself.“Were you looking at news about me?”In a situation like this, all I could do was nod. My mind was still heavy with thoughts about what had just happened, and my heart hadn’t settled.“They were reporting something that doesn’t matter anymore.”Raven picked up my fallen phone, looked at the screen for a moment, and then casually handed it back to me.So, what had just happened didn’t surprise him at all. It didn’t affect him—he remained completely calm.The kiss hadn’t fully touched his lips, but… wasn’t it still incredibly awkward?I tried to manage myself immediately, adopting the same calm demeanor as Raven. This didn’t count as a kiss at all—after all, it hadn’t been intentional.And perh

    ElinaLately, I’ve been seeing Lucius quite often, and sometimes I think he is very different from what my parents described. He seems to have enough free time to keep attending meetings.And now, he was sitting with my family, having breakfast together. I could see the closeness they truly shared.“Uncle is happy to see you here. The ring you gave Elina suits her perfectly.” My father’s eyes spoke as if he were trying to make everything feel even more fitting.I cleared my throat, not looking up, and continued eating my meal slowly.“Dad, eat your food.”My father’s soft laughter stopped. He quickly tried to continue his breakfast, but then the sound of a fork dropping echoed.Lucius shifted slightly from his seat, and my father raised his hand, stopping him from helping.A servant, who had been standing behind us, immediately stepped in to assist my father. He handed him a new fork and took the one that had fallen. The staff in the Everhart household truly possessed remarkable skill

    LuciusWhen I heard that Elina had been found, I truly didn’t expect it. Then I learned what had happened to her—a story that was deeply heartbreaking.I remembered her as a girl who used to smile often when we were children. We had met a few times back then, and she had always been friendly.So when my mother told me about her, she was devastated that something so cruel had happened to Elina.Someone so arrogant had deceived her and only wanted to take advantage of her.The Walker family isn’t a powerful one—nothing too difficult to deal with—and after Elina left them, their downfall came quickly.She may have been gone for a long time, growing up in hardship at an orphanage, but the blood flowing in her veins still belongs to the Everhart family, renowned for their business prowess.At my parents’ request, I attended that grand banquet. Perhaps she would be willing to accept my proposal.But when I saw that bastard trying to pressure her again, I couldn’t hold myself back and immedi

    JonathanI sat in my car without saying anything or doing anything. The anger inside me kept me silent.The noise from beside me continued nonstop.“Why do you want to bring her back, Jonny?”“Do you want to go back to her again? She deserves to be out there, and we’re going to get married.”I was truly tired of hearing her constant protests. Clenching my hands tightly, I tried not to lose my temper as I closed my eyes.What happened earlier was utterly humiliating, being thrown out of a jewelry store because of that man. I still didn’t even know who he was, yet he dared to act like that.I realized he kept interfering in my business with Elina. I never expected Elina to get rid of our child because of him.She shouldn’t be acting like this. She shouldn’t have turned away from me after everything I gave her.As I exhaled, I caught Lora’s hand as she kept hitting my thigh repeatedly.“Lora, stop.”I looked at her sharply, and her eyes trembled under my gaze.I do love her—we’ve been a

    ElinaYeah… I was truly angry when he brought up the child.He had been spouting nonsense this whole time, and now I was losing my patience the moment he mentioned the child.I intended to divorce him after going through the unbearable pain of feeling betrayed. But the child in my womb—God… I don’t hate them at all.…I love them. I want them.They were already inside me, already sharing so much with me.And then my happiness was gone. It disappeared while being neglected by their own father!That’s so fucking damn wrong! It should never have happened, and I’m sure the anger inside me was clearly reflected in my eyes.So why is Jonathan acting like he cares now?“…What do you mean, Elina…? My child… what did you do to my child?”He only wanted to hear what he wanted to hear. And I no longer wanted to let him act however he pleased.“Do you really think there’s still a child in this small stomach of mine?”His face flushed red. He immediately grabbed both of my shoulders roughly, shakin

    ElinaI felt something so fucking irritating when they noticed my presence before I could leave. All the pain I had tried to bury came rushing back, erupting all at once.It pushed me to stare at them sharply. I realized I didn’t need to leave this place—I had no reason to at all.Quietly, I exhaled and calmly held onto Lucius’s arm as we walked.There was nothing left for me to fear from them. My wounded heart was no longer filled with sorrow, but with anger.Her sly voice finally came out, followed by a scoff.“Why are you here, Elina?”She pressed herself closer to Jonathan. I caught the moment when Jonathan seemed like he wanted to pull away, but Lora held him back.Why do they seem a little different? I mean, now Jonathan is looking at me the way he used to look at Lora.I felt nothing but irritation. But I remained calm in front of them.“They again. I’ll get rid of them right away,” I heard Lucius say.My hand quickly tightened around his arm. I knew Lucius could do it, but I d
