INICIAR SESIÓNElinaToday is the third day of our break from work at Aether Racing Team. After preparing for the race and going through it, we really needed some time to rest.Our team has been getting good recognition as a well-coordinated team, based on a survey I read online. And of course, Raven is still ranked as the top driver with an excellent reputation.Followed by Ezra.Ah, I don’t know how that man can be considered someone with a good personality. Maybe it’s because he smiles so often that people think he’s friendly.That makes sense. But to me, he’s not friendly at all. The way he speaks feels like he just wants to look good.I let out a heavy sigh. Another thing weighing on my mind is that for these past three days, I’ve been thinking about two men. One is Raven—I truly admire him.He’s my idol, and since we’ve been on break, I haven’t seen him at all. He hasn’t even posted anything on his social media.It’s a bit disappointing. It makes you wonder whether he’s resting properly or enj
JonathanI truly didn’t expect to run into Elina in this place. My eyes had been on her the whole time—I kept waiting for the right moment to talk to her, to pull her to me and not let her go.From a distance, I saw that she was alone. That annoying man was no longer by her side. Maybe, in the end, she had grown tired and realized she couldn’t keep pretending that she didn’t care about me at all.She must have stopped hiring that man.And when the right moment came, I immediately followed her. I stopped her in front of the restroom.Whatever happened in the past, I was willing to forget it, and I hoped Elina would understand that. But she rejected me again and again.She hit me with a bouquet of flowers, and it truly wore down my patience. Did she really want me to lose my temper?At that moment, Elina managed to get away from me because I didn’t want to make people think even worse of me. Things had already been difficult lately—business partnerships being cut off and other failures.
LuciusI wanted to immediately jump in and make that man back off when I saw what he was doing to Elina.Forcing her to go back was completely unreasonable. But I held myself back; I could see that Elina could handle it.A part of me also wanted to know whether Elina still wanted to return to that man. From where I stood, I kept hoping I wouldn’t hear Elina accept that absurd offer.I mean, he’s the man who hurt Elina, making her suffer over and over again.I know forgetting your first love is difficult, and yesterday, when I saw her looking at the news about that man, I was genuinely upset.I was afraid she might go back to him. If she gave that kind of answer, I would act. I would take Elina and leave immediately.But in the end, I heard Elina’s response, and it relieved me. It was absolutely right for her to reject him and treat him harshly.It wasn’t even something Elina deserved to experience.At that moment, Elina left. I caught a glimpse of her eyes, they were glistening. I wan
Elina“Miss Elina, you finally came.”I had just arrived, and she was already standing in front of me, offering a bouquet of roses.Even though I had only informed her this morning that I would be coming, since I happened to already be in the city.Seeing the bouquet, I smiled.“Thank you, Amara.”She smiled, then guided me toward the VIP seating area. I was sure Amara would inform my parents that I was here.Amara isn’t my friend—she’s one of the children sponsored by my parents. When I disappeared, my mother fell into depression to the point where she could barely function.What she did to comfort herself was meet children and support them financially. Amara is one of them.The room was already arranged beautifully, with clustered seating that kept impressing me. I couldn’t wait to see the designs Amara would present today.I took a photo of the bouquet she had given me earlier, then set it aside as the haute couture show began.I recognized some of the people here—I mean, I knew ab
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
