Esther let out a relieved breath when she heard Gaara’s door close firmly behind him. For some reason, knowing he had chosen to wait outside made her feel freer, as if she could finally breathe again. At least now, she had a few extra moments entirely to herself.

She bit her lip as she took in the sight of Gaara’s bathroom. To be honest, she couldn’t help but feel a little envious. There was a clawfoot bathtub gleaming in the corner, and a separate shower area beside it. Good Lord. Her eyes widened even more when she stepped further inside and discovered a jacuzzi.

Without another thought, Esther stripped off her clothes and stepped under the shower.

“Who could resist the temptation to bathe when feeling this sticky?” she murmured to herself with a faint, self-deprecating laugh.

The first splash of water against her skin instantly relaxed her body, melting away the tension that had stiffened her muscles since morning. She closed her eyes, and her mind began to drift back to the moment

  • 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

    She was beautiful.She was so beautiful beneath the falling rain. She was so beautiful standing by her locker in the morning, as if she were waiting for him with quiet hope. She was so beautiful when she slept beside him. She was so beautiful when she smiled shyly during their first dance. She was so beautiful beneath the glittering city lights on the night they walked together. She was so beautiful when she appeared between her father and cousin as Gaara came to pick her up under the moonlight. She was so beautiful when she told Gaara about the list of festival street foods she recommended he try once they arrived.“I’ve never been to any festival before,” was Gaara’s response when Esther asked which food interested him the most after she enthusiastically explained everything to him. “You should just pick for me.”Her eyes lit up right away, and she was so beautiful as she linked her arm with his and pulled him into the crowd already enjoying the festival.She was so beautiful in her

  • Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love   That's True

    Even if Nara had still been sitting across the street, he would’ve seen the way Nelsy’s expression shifted a full one-eighty. She tried to hide it with a smile, but Gaara clearly spotted the anxiety written all over her face. That was the curse of being expressive. She was like an open book anyone could read.“They hate each other. You know that, right?” Nelsy said, pretending to touch a sunflower within reach.“Nelsy…” Gaara’s voice sharpened into a warning.“What? I—I don’t know anything, Gaara. You should ask Vinson. He’s your friend.”“I already went to his place, but he wasn’t there. You’ve been closest to him since you were kids, and lately you’ve been close to Esther too.” Nara rolled his eyes at that line. “That’s why I came here.”“I don’t know anything, Gaara. Look, I wanna get lunch, I’m starving. You wanna come with me? We can talk about it slowly over food…”Nara swore silently under his breath. He’d come here to invite Nelsy to lunch, yet somehow Gaara ended up getting t

  • Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love   You Know Something?

    When Esther finished wiping her tears, Vinson finally spoke. “Thing is… I don’t actually remember much.” His voice made Esther turn to him.“The clearest memory I have from back then is you being hurt, almost dying,” he continued. “And Elson telling me that you… hated me. Really hated me.”Esther stared at him, and it made Vinson shift uncomfortably. “Can you not look at me like that?”Esther nodded and tried to keep her face neutral.Vinson let out a long breath. “I guess I got used to hating all of you from that point on. Everything I did to you just felt like the natural thing to do.”Esther understood. When someone is hated for so long, every little thing they do looks wrong, and hurting them starts to feel justified. Even though Vinson’s words sounded cold, Esther knew exactly what he meant. She even agreed.“But that doesn’t mean I was right,” he added.Esther’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe what she just heard. Vinson might be too proud, too stubborn to apologize outright,
