As I rushed closer, Jessy deliberately shoved Anna farther away from the edge of the pool.

She sank instantly.

Her hand shot above the surface, desperately searching for something to grab onto. Water splashed violently. Anna's cries for help were heartbreaking.

“That's enough,” I said, then dove into the pool without a second thought.

    As I rushed closer, Jessy deliberately shoved Anna farther away from the edge of the pool.She sank instantly.Her hand shot above the surface, desperately searching for something to grab onto. Water splashed violently. Anna's cries for help were heartbreaking.“That's enough,” I said, then dove into the pool without a second thought.I caught hold of Anna's slender body. She clutched my shoulders so tightly I could feel her nails digging into my skin. She drew in a long, desperate breath, trying to fill her lungs with air.Slowly, I swam us back to the edge and lifted her onto the poolside. She collapsed onto the concrete, coughing violently as she struggled to clear the water from her lungs.I stayed just long enough to make sure her breathing had begun to steady before climbing out of the pool.I turned toward Lea, whose eyes were wide with disbelief. She stepped forward, her face flushed crimson. The tension around her lips slowly faded, replaced by an amused smile.“You saved Ann

    DYLAN“As for PayandC, I think we should officially announce the product at our internal meeting later,” I murmured, taking the file Erwin handed me before locking it inside the safe.“Won't it be a problem if Mrs. Anna knows about the project? What if she tells someone?” Erwin asked, studying me carefully.“For now, I don't mind if Anna knows. I'm sure she won't tell anyone.”“What makes you so sure?” he pressed.I held back a smile. “Anna isn't a socialite like Lea or my mother. She spends more time in the kitchen surrounded by spices than gossiping,” I replied, earning a narrowed look from Erwin.Silently, I added that even if she did tell someone, it would probably only be Vallen. And that man wouldn't care about my business anyway. Why would he concern himself with what was happening at my company? He had plenty of patients to worry about.“Once they finish the system, I'll talk to my father. Whether he approves or not, I'm moving forward with this project,” I said, resting my he

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   22. Different Kind of Touch

    "I don't think I'll be able to grant this request either." The mischievous look on Dylan's face immediately disappeared. "I refuse," he said firmly, without a moment's hesitation.I should have expected it. Dylan refused to touch me.Without thinking, I snatched my notebook from his hand and turned my back on him. My palm rubbed absently over my arm, as though making sure my skin was clean so I wouldn't have to wonder if the reason Dylan refused was because I was dirty.Yet somehow, that thought only hurt more."Fine. Then I'll add another day," I decided.Dylan sighed behind me. A second later, he spoke in a confident tone. "How about I replace it with two requests?"I turned toward him. "What do you mean?""You can ask for two requests instead. Anything simple, as long as it doesn't involve physical contact," he said casually.For a moment, I lowered my gaze to the list in my notebook. My expression tightened slightly before I nodded."I want to go to your office tomorrow and have l

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   21. A Simple Wish

    ANNADylan and Lea were making out right in front of me.It wasn't exactly a rare sight. It was normal. In fact, I was pretty sure they did this all the time. But seeing it with my own eyes felt like driving a blade straight through my heart.Just a few minutes ago, Dylan and I had been together. Laughing together. Enjoying each other's company as if there were no agreement between us.And now, I was watching my husband be intimate with another woman.My eyes burned as I watched how effortlessly Lea could stir Dylan's desire with her touch. She sat on his lap, their bodies pressed together. When their kiss finally broke, Dylan's gaze met mine.There was surprise in his eyes.But the very next second, Lea cupped his face and kissed him again.My lips trembled as I fought back tears.Even after realizing I was here, Dylan made no attempt to pull away from her. At the very least, he could have considered my feelings.Then again, why would Dylan ever think about my feelings?I wasn't impo

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS   20. A Night to Remember

    Anna cleared her throat softly. Her head lowered as she hid the hand holding her phone behind her back. I watched every little movement carefully.Tilting my head, I studied her as she fumbled awkwardly in front of me. "Okay, whatever. What medicine is it... none of my business. So, what do you want to ride next?" I asked, changing the subject. No matter how hard I pushed, it seemed Anna had no intention of telling me.Yeah, maybe it was just vitamins. She had looked pale lately, and Vallen had probably prescribed them.Stop thinking about it, Dylan. You're only putting yourself in an awkward position if you keep wondering. Remember the saying, curiosity killed the cat. Better to let it go.Once she realized I wasn't interested in the medicine anymore, the dimness in Anna's eyes gradually disappeared. She straightened her back and pointed toward the Pirate Ship Ride before gesturing at the roller coaster currently in motion.Just two rides, yet my whole body immediately went cold.Dam

    "Dylan?" Anna's voice from behind startled me. "Did Lea call you?" she asked curiously.I slipped my phone into my pocket. "Yeah."Anna checked her phone. Her lips pressed into a thin line. Then she gave a small nod and smiled at me, her eyes curving into crescents."So it's already been an hour. That's okay, you can go." Her words caught me off guard."Then what about you?""I'll probably ask Vallen to keep me company," she said casually, but the words hit me square in the chest.As Anna walked away through the crowd, I watched her fiddle with her phone while heading toward the carousel she'd wanted to ride. I tilted my head back with a sigh.Damn it.Why didn't I like the thought of Vallen being with Anna?What right did I have to stop her from seeing that guy?Yeah, we were husband and wife. But...I clicked my tongue in irritation. Instead of leaving like Anna had told me to, I strode after her and snatched her phone from her hand.The screen showed Vallen's caller ID. So they'd a

    Anna let out an amused huff and looked away.For a moment, I regretted this decision.Why was this sudden guilt making me look like some idiot begging for her forgiveness?Damn it. I truly didn't understand.My grip tightened when Anna looked back at me. She seemed to be seriously considering what

    DYLANThe cold compress Anna had placed on my forehead had already dried out, but strangely enough, it had managed to bring my fever down. I had finished the porridge she made for me, along with the medicine for my headache.Slowly, I sat up in bed. I was feeling well enough to attend the party ton

    "That's Vallen, my best friend. Did you forget?" I shot back immediately. Climbing off the bed, I strode over to Dylan and snatched my phone from his hand. "Or do you think I'm just like you?"Dylan clicked his tongue. Maybe my words had struck a nerve."I remember," he replied in an especially hoa

    “In your dreams, Anna. I’m not doing that.” Dylan’s voice was cold and sharp.The very next second, he released me from his arms. I stumbled backward, nearly losing my balance. He walked away without a second glance, leaving me standing there, frozen in place.The sound of rain filled the emptiness
