Anna’s breathing was steady beside me. Her features were peaceful in sleep, as if the cool night breeze had managed to soothe the panic that had consumed her just a few hours ago. She lay curled up against me, her fingers still wrapped tightly around my hand.

I slowly pulled the blanket higher, shielding her from the chill. Anna stirred and snuggled closer to me. I smiled in amusement when she mumbled something in her sleep.

So cute.

Carefully propping my head up with one hand, I reached over a

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   170. As Long as We're Together

    Morning sunlight filtered through the gap in the still-closed curtains. I stretched and rolled toward Dylan, who was still asleep. Slowly, I propped myself up and studied his peaceful face.His breathing was steady, prompting me to reach out and touch his rising and falling chest. I could feel his heartbeat beneath my palm, along with the warmth of his skin spreading through my hand.I glanced at the clock on the nightstand. Nine in the morning. A small, amused smile crept onto my lips. Dylan and I had made love earlier that morning before deciding to get some sleep. Remembering what I'd done a few hours ago made my cheeks burn.Seriously, where had I found the courage to do that to Dylan?I covered my face for a moment and shook my head. I was so embarrassed whenever I remembered the look on his face. He must have been shocked to discover that I had such a wild side.When I lowered my hands, I saw Dylan's eyes slowly flutter open. His dark, gentle gaze immediately met mine. Before I

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   169. Only When I'm with You

    ANNAI never would have imagined Dylan would go this far. Luring Eron here, then dragging Santoso into this mess himself. Even so, I couldn't help wondering when he'd come up with this plan. But even if I asked, I was sure Dylan wouldn't tell me.He would never involve me in his plans.After the guards confirmed that the house was secure, Dylan and I returned to our bedroom. He went to change while I prepared the first-aid kit to treat his injuries. I'd noticed earlier that the knuckles on his hand were scraped.When he emerged from the walk-in closet wearing a plain T-shirt and casual pants, he sat down beside me. I immediately took his hand and rested it on my lap.I gently pressed an alcohol-soaked cotton pad against his reddened, bruised knuckles.“You shouldn't have punched Eron.”“He pissed me off, Anna. How was I supposed to stop myself from punching that bastard?” Dylan asked irritably.I pressed the cotton pad against his wounds, then studied his expression. He didn't even wi

    "You've completely lost your mind, Eron," I said, turning to face him.Eron let out a low laugh. The sound was almost insane in the silence, yet somehow it made my chest tighten. He brushed a hand over my shoulder as if he were dusting off a speck of dirt."Don't you want me out of your life for good? This is a pretty good offer, isn't it?" he taunted.I bit my lip, holding back a string of curses that threatened to spill out. Then I roughly slapped his hand away.He straightened his clothes, acting as though he'd just made the most incredible offer in the world. Then he leaned toward my ear again."Think about it carefully, Dylan.""You think I'm willing to get my hands dirty just to satisfy your twisted desires?" I stared at him coldly without so much as blinking."If I kill Santoso, the police will come after me, and I..." He thumped his chest hard. "...will always have an excuse to come back to you. Do you want me to keep ruining your life?" Eron whispered, not a trace of remorse

    Anna’s breathing was steady beside me. Her features were peaceful in sleep, as if the cool night breeze had managed to soothe the panic that had consumed her just a few hours ago. She lay curled up against me, her fingers still wrapped tightly around my hand.I slowly pulled the blanket higher, shielding her from the chill. Anna stirred and snuggled closer to me. I smiled in amusement when she mumbled something in her sleep.So cute.Carefully propping my head up with one hand, I reached over and touched the bruises scattered across her shoulder. There were more of them now, and their number kept growing. Anna said they didn't hurt, but I knew the truth. Her illness was eating away at her day by day, stealing precious time from her life, and I still couldn't accept it.The burning anger in my chest flared up again. Meanwhile, people out there, Eron, Jessy, and even Lea, were all trying to break Anna's spirit.I won't let them lay a finger on her again.For hours, I lay beside her with

    DYLANAnna’s hands trembled as she tapped the screen of her phone. Several times, she glanced at me as if questioning my decision, but I remained silent.For several seconds, she held the phone to her ear, waiting for the call to connect. Just as she opened her mouth to greet Eron, Anna glanced at me once more before speaking in a trembling voice.“Eron…” she said.Without wasting a second, I took the phone from Anna’s hand before she could say anything else. She stared at me in confusion, but I had no time to explain the plan taking shape in my mind.I turned on the speakerphone, and a deep voice came through the other end.“Anna?”“It’s me,” I cut in coldly. “Dylan.”Silence fell for a moment on the other end. I could sense the shift in atmosphere through the phone. Eron seemed to realize the situation had changed.“Dylan? Well, look at that. You’re calling me first,” he replied casually, though there was tension beneath his voice. “Any progress on Santoso?”I hadn’t expected him to

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   165. Dylan Has a Plan

    Dylan’s gaze pierced straight into mine, making the air in the living room feel even heavier. The fear I had been desperately hiding finally broke through. Dylan could not be fooled by simply telling him I was fine.I thought he would not notice, but apparently, he had absorbed every piece of information Lea had given him without missing a thing.I swallowed hard, my fingers clutching the hem of my clothes. My lips remained tightly sealed, not a single word escaping them. Meanwhile, Dylan and Lea waited for my answer.“Jessy must have gone to see her!” Lea exclaimed, breaking the silence. She pointed a finger at my face. “Anna is the perfect pawn for your mother. You must understand what I mean, Dylan,” she said with a faint, knowing smile.“Anna!” Dylan’s voice rose slightly, a mixture of shock and fury. He stepped closer and gripped both my shoulders. “Answer my question. Did Jessy come to see you?”My throat went dry. Realizing there was no way to run from this anymore, I took a de

    "I'm fine, Father. I bumped my nose earlier," I lied.Fortunately, my father-in-law believed me without much question.Abraham glanced at the unmade bed behind me. His gaze softened. A faint smile touched his thin lips before he quickly pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket."Use this to wipe

    "Vallen, just pretend you never saw any of this," I said calmly."Damn it, Anna, what do you mean? How am I supposed to stay quiet after seeing something this unfair? You're fighting a disease while Dylan...""Vallen, this is my marriage."The firmness in my voice silenced him on the other end of t

    I didn't know how long I had been lying on the floor.When I woke up, my head was throbbing and my entire body ached. Slowly, I pushed myself upright and rubbed my face. When I looked down, I found several dried drops of blood on the floor.Not wanting to dwell on it, I got up and walked into the b

    For nearly half the day, I lay in bed, curled up as I stared blankly through the open window. My body felt hot, and I was utterly exhausted even though I hadn't done anything physically demanding.Fortunately, Jessy wasn't home. She was probably working at her boutique. If she saw me lazing around
