Lindsay's Pov

“When can we get married, babe?” he repeated when I still didn't answer.

“Later... I still want to be on my own,” I replied. “I haven't even graduated from college yet, and don't you dare turn into Dave!”

“Ah, right. About Dave,” Lucas said. “He told me he wanted to give Rose her freedom, but he also wanted someone to keep an eye on her. He asked me to do it, and I hope you don't mind because I know you want to know if your best friend is safe too.”

I nodded in agreement, already

  • Fat Girl's Nemesis   67. Dangerous Date

    I froze.Madam Rose simply smiled at me with obvious amusement, as though my reaction had already answered every question she wanted to ask."I'm so sorry, Madam," I said carefully, forcing a small smile. "But... could you please not tell your employer that I work here?"It was the last thing I wanted.Meeting Dave's controlling grandmother was already a nightmare.Having her know where I worked sounded even worse.Madam Rose chuckled softly."Silly girl."She shook her head."She already knows."My smile disappeared."What?""She knew from the very first day you started working here," Madam Rose explained calmly. "I'm the one who found out only recently."My heart sank.Great.That meant I'd already been under observation without realizing it.All I could do now was pray that fate would never arrange a meeting between me and Dave's grandmother.Madam Rose tilted her head thoughtfully."So...""I heard you're my employer's grandson's former girlfriend."She smiled knowingly."The futu

    I went to work as usual the next morning. Madam Rose owned the little bookstore where I worked, and she also managed a small art corner that displayed paintings by local artists. A few weeks ago, I had asked for permission to sell my own paintings there, and she agreed in exchange for a ten percent commission on every piece sold.I happily accepted the arrangement. My first painting wasn't finished yet, so I kept it safely in the bookstore's storage room. Every evening after my shift ended, I would spend another hour adding brushstroke after brushstroke.I had also heard from Travis, Clair, and Alicia. They told me everything had finally returned to normal. Clair got her teaching job back, Travis reopened his bakery, and Alicia was doing just fine.Good.At least some people had received the happy ending they deserved.I started cleaning the shop before opening hours. The OPEN sign was still resting on the counter when the entrance bell suddenly chimed. Thinking it was an early custom

  • Fat Girl's Nemesis   65. Shining Rose

    Two months had passed since I fell down the emergency staircase at Lucas's apartment. I had started a completely new life in downtown California. It wasn't the future I had imagined, but it was still a fresh beginning.Dave had insisted on buying me an apartment in the heart of the business district. He said it would make it easier for me to find a job. After that, he promised he would never interfere in my life again.I looked like my old self again. My body had regained its slightly chubby figure, and my complexion was healthier. From the outside, I looked like someone who had finally moved on.Only I knew the truth.Sometimes I still dreamed about the babies I had carried. In every dream, they were two little boys with bright smiles. They always ran toward me, laughing as they wrapped their tiny arms around me.The dreams were beautiful.They were also heartbreaking.Every time I woke up, my pillow was damp with tears. I would stare at the ceiling for a long time before reminding m

    “Never!” I snapped, glaring at Dave as he stood tall in the doorway without the slightest intention of moving aside.“You're carrying something that belongs to me,” Dave said firmly. “I have every right to my children.”“Never!” I shouted, my voice rising. “I said never!”I spun around and stormed into my bedroom. Without wasting another second, I yanked open the closet and pulled out my duffel bag. My clothes, sketchbooks, and painting supplies disappeared inside one after another.I was leaving.Leaving this apartment.Leaving this city.Most importantly...Leaving Dave behind.Before I could zip the bag shut, a shadow fell across the doorway. Dave stood there with both hands braced against the frame, blocking my only way out. His expression remained calm, but his eyes were filled with determination.“Where are you going?” he asked, lifting an eyebrow.“Away,” I answered coldly. “Far away from you.”I finished packing and slung the duffel bag over my shoulder. Then I walked straight

  • Fat Girl's Nemesis   63. Dave's Appearance

    Lindsay had gone out to buy food for me. She wanted to find something soft enough for my stomach. Honestly, I was already tired of eating bland food.This new apartment still felt like a dream. Lindsay had received it from her father, a man who had never spoiled her with expensive gifts before. Throughout college, most of her support had come from her older brother instead.Her father had bought this place as a reward for nearly graduating. I couldn't help admiring how fortunate she was. She belonged to a family that could always catch her when she fell.My thoughts drifted back to myself. I was pregnant, carrying two tiny lives inside me. Even surviving on my own seemed impossible right now, let alone raising children.What was I supposed to do after they were born?My dream of starting my career would have to wait. At the very least, I'd need to stay home until the twins were old enough to be cared for by someone else. Only then could I look for a job.I stood inside Lindsay's beaut
