LOGINElinaThe moment I saw the wound on Raven’s hand, I felt guilty.If he ended up ruining his hand, his brilliant career would be destroyed in an instant. That would be something that would truly trouble me.But honestly, I also felt relieved because he helped me get away from Jonathan.I never expected him to show up at my workplace and force me to go back.Even though I had been quite sure that I was getting better, the truth was that my body reacted differently the moment I heard his words.My subconscious knew that if I went back there, everything that had happened to me would happen again.That cold, terrifying feeling made my body freeze. Again and again, I heard Rose’s words echoing in my head—that I was nothing more than an orphan taken in by the Walker family.My chest felt so heavy, and it was hard to breathe properly.Until Raven saved me. It was like oxygen returning to my lungs.I feel happy, but I also feel guilty about this.For now, I just hope Raven won’t do anything re
LuciusMy eyes stayed fixed on her. The way she held my hand and treated it made me feel happy.“Ouch!”The sound slipped out of me unintentionally from the sting and surprise I felt in my hand.Full of concern, Elina lifted my hand and gently blew on it over and over again.“I’m sorry…”A small smile appeared on my face as I heard her words. It felt like my heart was being tickled from the inside.Why does this feel so sweet?As Elina looked at me, I quickly adjusted my expression.“Does it still hurt?”I shook my head slightly. I didn’t feel it anymore. For a while, she went back to carefully examining the small wound on my hand, then placed it down gently.“Your hands are very valuable. You shouldn’t act recklessly like that, Raven.”My brows immediately furrowed when I heard what she said. In that kind of situation, anyone who knew her would want to help.I let out a breath. “Miss Everhart, that was just a reflex.”She kept looking at me with a guilty expression. Seeing her like t
LuciusI was happy because Elina was wearing the bracelet I had given her.Honestly, I had been hesitant about whether to give it as Lucius or as Raven. There was a strange discomfort whenever I thought about giving it as Lucius.I felt more at ease giving it as Raven, even though I didn’t give it to her directly.I found myself growing excited to interact with Elina. Every time we interacted professionally at work, it made me admire her even more.The way she worked and her knowledge made me feel comfortable interacting with her as Raven. She didn’t treat me like the heir of the Halston family—someone who had to be handled with extreme care.Since long ago, I had always wanted to speak freely with others about the things I liked—machines, racing, strategy, and more. But simply because I am the sole heir, I couldn’t do anything dangerous.In truth, I often feel like I’m not living for myself. But I understand why my father and mother are like that.I’m not being hypocritical—what the
JonathanI immediately entered my office, seeing Barron already there. I realized that he must have truly found something about Elina.I approached him with heavy breaths, my gaze sharp, unwilling to look away.“Tell me about the information on Elina.”Searching for information about her for so long was not something that could keep me calm. Every time Barron failed to bring any news about Elina, my heart ached unbearably.I felt so pathetic—I thought I was weak for not being able to find her sooner.Barron hurriedly handed me a tablet. At that moment, I read an article about Raven’s F1 victory.I wasn’t particularly interested in that news.“Barron, I asked you—”Just as I began to speak, I suddenly realized that the photo of a woman beside Raven looked very familiar.I leaned closer, staring without blinking. For heaven’s sake—it was really Elina. As I looked back at Barron, the man swiped to another photo. At that moment, I realized he had already gathered information about Elina.
JonathanWhen my father married her, I never really cared. The only thing that caught my attention at that time was Lora.She was a beautiful woman, mesmerizing. From the moment I saw her arrive at this house, I thought that my father’s marriage to her mother wasn’t such a bad thing. In reality, it was because I was drawn to Lora.She always approached me, and I couldn’t help but like her. When we finally got together, I felt so happy.However, the happiness I once felt has now changed. I realized that I also had feelings for Elina. She, who has been my wife for a year, left a deep mark in my heart.The guilt inside me was overwhelming, and I wished that Elina would come back to me.As I looked beside me, Lora was sleeping soundly. I didn’t want to wake her, so I chose to quietly leave her in the bed.Right now, I felt that many things between us had diminished. Her gentle demeanor had somehow disappeared.Honestly, I was really shocked by the fact that she could act so cruel, pushing
ElinaI couldn’t take my eyes off the jade beaded bracelet on my left wrist. It looked so beautiful.My mood kept lifting because of the attention Raven had given me.If I’m misunderstanding his actions… am I wrong?Just staring at it made my heart race wildly. That night, I had trouble sleeping—I only managed to fall asleep just before sunrise.I released a deep breath as I enjoyed my coffee in the morning. I relaxed a little before heading to Noxis, maybe after lunch. There were only a few things to check there.I had actually already sent a message thanking Raven for the bracelet, but he hadn’t replied yet. In my quiet moment, I found myself wanting to send him another message.Hell, I’m really acting too hastily. I mean, even I didn’t expect something like this to happen. Back then, I loved Jonathan so much—I thought I would never be interested in anyone else again.Looking at what I went through before, when I could do anything for him, I thought it would be very difficult for me
