Gaara suddenly felt like that eleven-year-old boy again, standing in front of his mother’s coffin, staring at her face for the last time before she was lowered into the ground. He remembered Uncle Yoshi holding him tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, while his grandparents stood nearby with cold expressions carved on their faces. His father had spent hours smoking in silence without shedding a single tear. That was the day Gaara began to understand how cruel the world could be.

“Love is such a foolish thing, isn’t it?” His voice turned low, almost like a whisper. “Mother died a pointless death because she loved the wrong person too much.” He paused, his tone softening further. “And I was still there, still needing her, still willing to do anything for her. If she had wanted it, I would have given her everything, even all my love, just so she wouldn’t die. But she didn’t want that.”

For a fleeting second, Esther could swear she saw pain flicker in his eyes. But just as quickly as it appea

  • Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love   Jorge Maxwell

    “Sir, are you alright?” The woman in a gray blazer who had been walking behind him asked, worry written plainly across her face.The line in front of them moved forward. The man she had spoken to stepped ahead from his spot and answered in a detached tone, “I’m fine.”Apparently, she was not the only one paying attention to him. Another man, traveling with him on that commercial flight for business purposes, was also watching. He stood farther back in the line, a little distance away.Though not many people here recognized his face, the man was in fact one of Europe’s most successful figures. Jorge Maxwell. A businessman whose wealth surpassed what more than seventy percent of the world’s population would ever earn in their lifetime. With that kind of money, owning a private jet would have been effortless. Yet for reasons known only to him, Jorge had chosen to fly commercial for this particular trip.Travel like this was nothing new to him. His life had long been a blur of airports an

  • Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love   Elson's Feelings

    That night, Esther finally steeled her heart.She stepped out wearing a T-shirt, jeans, her warmest jacket, and a pair of sneakers. Inside her backpack, she had packed her phone, a power bank, all the cash she owned, spare clothes, bottled water, and most importantly, her passport.Esther was about to do something she had never imagined herself doing before. Leaving the country alone.After returning from the Maxwell siblings’ house that afternoon, it did not take long for her resolve to solidify. Just as she had told Jack and Amber, the one thing most likely to have driven Gaara away was her. But what truly terrified her was the place Gaara had chosen to disappear to. The house where he had been born and raised. A place known only to him and his father. A place that clearly signaled he did not want to be found, let alone return.Esther could not allow that.She would lose her mind if she stayed far away from Gaara. So to hell with what anyone might say, Esther decided to enter her fe

  • Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love   It's My Fault

    After talking with her mother, Esther wasted no time. She went straight to Gaara’s residence, convinced he would be there. But the moment she arrived, her assumption collapsed. Inside the house, there were only Amber and Jack.A servant led Esther into the living room where the two of them were gathered. The instant they saw her, shock and relief crossed their faces at the same time. Amber rose immediately and wrapped Esther in a tight embrace.“Oh, Esther. Thank God you’re here.”Esther honestly had no idea what exactly she was supposed to be thankful for, but she returned the hug anyway. “It’s been a while, Amber. What’s going on? Why does everyone look so tense?”“You know where Gaara is, right?” Amber asked quickly.The question made Esther freeze. The hope burning in Amber’s eyes sent a sharp chill down her spine. A bad feeling crept into her chest. With a heart that suddenly felt sore, Esther shook her head. “No. I actually came here because I wanted to see him.”Amber stared at

  • Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love   Mother & Me

    Since her parents’ divorce, the only time Esther could ever meet her mother was during holidays. Even then, her father often took over that time, planning trips for just the two of them, as if he were deliberately keeping Esther away from her mother. The last time Esther saw her was during the holiday before she entered university, right after her mother decided to move to London. Since then, their relationship had survived only through phone calls and, on nights when the longing grew unbearable, video calls.So when her mother suddenly stood within reach, close enough to touch, Esther was overwhelmed with joy. For a brief moment, she even forgot the heavy problem that had been haunting her mind. Being held like this made her feel safe. Whole. As if everything might be okay after all.“W-when… why… how…” There were too many questions tangled in her chest, she did not even know which one to ask first.Her mother smiled at her confusion. The smile, however, slowly faded as she studied E

  • Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love   Mental Breakdown

    Two pairs of eyes snapped toward Nelsy the moment she arrived and grasped what had really happened inside her ex boyfriend’s house. Vinson stared at her in disbelief, while Esther, her eyes still swollen, widened in shock at Nelsy’s confession.“W—why?” Esther asked, her voice softer than a whisper.Seeing Esther’s face and the condition of Vinson’s house, Nelsy could no longer hold back her tears. If the situation had not been this critical, Vinson would have complained about being trapped with two crying women right in front of him, making his head hurt even more.“Gaara actually found out about it first from Elise,” Nelsy said shakily. “And then… Gaara came to me to validate what he heard.”“Elise?” Esther and Vinson asked at the same time.Once she managed to steady herself, Nelsy told them everything that had happened when Gaara came to her flower shop a week ago. When she finished, her tears fell again. “I’m sorry.”“Oh no. No,” Esther shook her head, still stunned, her mind fin

  • Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love   Consequence

    Long ago, Esther’s mother once told her a theory. That human life is made up of events that seem random at first. But over time, those random moments are actually connected. And when seen from a wider angle, the whole chain suddenly makes sense.Action. Reaction. Consequence.When someone does something, whatever it is, it will always trigger a reaction. But it never stops there. After the reaction comes the consequence. Yes, her mother had always been the philosophical type.After the festival with Gaara, Esther found herself replaying that theory over and over in her head. It was almost ironic. When her emotions were completely drained, what surfaced instead was her mother’s voice.Esther, you already won your bet.She did not feel like she had won anything. Not even close. There was no joy in her chest, not even a trace. The happiness had existed elsewhere. It had lived in moments with Gaara. In walking beside him. In leaning against his shoulder on the train. In seeing him standin
