I couldn't fall asleep again for the rest of the night. Every time I closed my eyes, Jessy's voice echoed in my head.

Everything will go according to plan.

"Why are you spacing out?" Erna nudged my waist with her elbow. She smiled sweetly at me before glancing at Dylan, who was busy chopping vegetables on the cutting board.

I shook my head. "It's nothing. I'm just worried about the way Dylan is chopping those vegetables. Look," I said, deliberately changing the subject.

The truth was, I still c

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   110. The Note

    Santoso walked into my room with calm, casual steps, even before I had a chance to invite him in. For someone who had come uninvited, I found his attitude downright rude.I was still leaning against the headboard, my body feeling heavy, but I forced myself to sit up straighter.“Are you sure you want to receive a visitor right now?” Anna asked anxiously.“Yeah, it’s fine.” Santoso was still standing in front of me, silently watching us. “Besides, it’s too late to throw him out now,” I whispered.Anna immediately left my room. The door closed softly behind her.“Dylan,” Santoso greeted, his voice low and calm. “I heard the news. My condolences on the loss of your father.”“Thank you for coming.”He moved toward the window, then sat down on the sofa without being invited. He was so casual, as though this were hardly a formal visit. Somehow, that only irritated me more. He acted as if he could do whatever he pleased.“Your father was a great man,” he continued, looking at me with an unre

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   109. Name in the Report

    DYLAN“I’m sorry I couldn’t fulfill some of your wishes over the past few days,” I murmured, leaning back against the headboard. My body felt incredibly weak, even after waking up.Anna, who had brought me breakfast, merely nodded.“I promise I’ll make up for those five wishes in a single day,” I promised, reaching a hand toward her tired-looking face. Anna looked deathly pale. Dark circles shadowed her eyes, a sign that she probably hadn’t slept much last night.“I’ll collect on that promise later,” she said with a faint smile.“Yeah, you have the details, Anna,” I chuckled.Anna stirred the soup she had made for me before bringing a spoonful to my mouth. For a moment, I stared at the spoon. Once upon a time, I never wanted anything like this to happen between us. I had always built a thick wall to keep Anna out, but now I couldn’t let her go. Not even for a second.I ate the food Anna fed me. She smiled brightly.“Is Erna still here?”“They left with Betty this morning. Erna didn’t

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   108. A Million-Dollar Secret

    After Jessy's strong protest, the living room fell silent once again. No one dared to discuss the contents of the will anymore.Fredick excused himself without offering even a little solution regarding the will he had just read. The last thing he said before leaving was, “This was Mr. Danforth's decision. I have no right to interfere with it.”His words silenced Jessy. The woman immediately retreated to her room.Meanwhile, Gerald handed the letter to Dylan. Before leaving, he said, “Come see me tomorrow. Everything you asked for is ready.”Dylan merely nodded weakly.The living room fell silent again. Everyone seemed to be trying to process the situation.The sound of Lea's high heels approached. Sure enough, she was standing in front of me now, crossing her arms over her chest as she looked at me with an amused expression.“Wow, I never expected you to receive a share of Mr. Danforth's inheritance, too,” she sneered.I glanced at Dylan, who didn't react at all. He took a deep breath

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   107. A Will

    From where I sat, Fredick began opening the folder he had brought with him.Everyone sitting on the sofas looked uneasy. Lea stared sharply at me from her seat. Jenna and Rean looked tense. Erna and Brandon simply sat with their heads bowed, holding hands. Meanwhile, Jessy looked relaxed across the room. I could even see a faint smile on her face, as if Abraham's death today hadn't been a painful blow to her at all.When I turned to Dylan, he was the only one who seemed uninterested in what Fredick was about to read. Yeah, he had already heard the contents last night and had even told me about them.I couldn't help wondering what Jessy's expression would be like when she heard about my share.Quietly, I rubbed the back of Dylan's hand. He didn't respond at all.Fredick cleared his throat.“I will now read Mr. Danforth's will. From his entire estate, Mr. Danforth has left seventy percent of his wealth to his son, Dylan Danforth.”Everyone's eyes immediately turned toward Dylan. Even Je

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   106. After the Funeral

    “Sorry, do we know each other?” I asked, hesitating to accept his outstretched hand.Eron quickly pulled his hand back and scratched his head with an awkward laugh. The dark-haired, curly-haired man looked at me.“Sorry. I was Dylan’s friend in high school.”“Then how do you know my name?”Eron showed me his phone screen. An online news article displayed a photo of Dylan and me at the launch event for his new application.I nodded slightly.“Do you need something?”“No.” He flashed a wide smile. “I mean, maybe I do. But you don't have to answer. I'm just curious. What happened to Dylan? He looks like a complete mess.”My eyes narrowed at his words.“Have you been watching us?”“No!” Eron immediately shook his head. “I just saw you two from over there. I also happened to overhear your conversation. I'm sorry.”My gaze swept over his neat clothes before stopping on the object sticking out of his shirt pocket. It looked like an ID card.I couldn't make out what was written on it, but for

  • HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 WISHES   105. Final Goodbye

    I went down to the second floor, where Abraham was being treated.For some reason, I had a bad feeling from the moment I stepped out of the elevator. The hospital corridor was eerily quiet. Even the sound of my own footsteps seemed unusually loud.The moment I opened the door to Abraham's room, I stopped in my tracks.Erna and Brandon were embracing. Betty sat silently in her wheelchair, her eyes vacant, while Jessy leaned against the wall without a trace of emotion on her face.Not a single one of them was crying.And somehow, that was what made my heart sink.I walked toward the bed and saw that Abraham's eyes were already closed. The machine beside his bed showed a straight line, its loud, continuous beeping a sign that there was no longer any life left in his body.My chest tightened when I saw Dylan sitting beside him, his head bowed as he held Abraham's lifeless fingers. Dylan's eyes were empty, red, and devoid of their usual light. He simply sat there, as if he still couldn't b

I'm glad you've finally changed your mind," said Dylan Danforth, my husband, who was currently sitting beside his lover, who also happened to be my stepsister, Lea G.

    "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
