The morning sunlight poured through the wide glass windows of Wu Creatives’ New York branch, warming the minimalist office I’d been assigned. I still wasn’t used to this much space, this much quiet, this much freedom.

But I welcomed it.

My tablet was propped up on the desk, my stylus gliding across the screen as I worked on a new campaign design. Something bold. Something fierce.

Something that, unknowingly, reflected exactly where my life was now.

A sharp knock snapped me out of my flow.

    I spent several minutes crying there before deciding to leave. I could feel that I was feeling better, and all that was needed now was extreme caution. As soon as I stepped out of the room, my eyes immediately searched for Ethan. I turned down the hallway toward the lift and there I saw his back, so I walked toward him slowly.“She doesn’t know. She doesn’t need to know. She thinks I remember everything, but I don’t. Not yet.”I froze mid-step when I heard him say that. I lifted my gaze to him, and he still had his back turned to me. His phone was still at his ear.“She doesn’t need to know. I didn’t even tell her! I don’t want her to think about me anymore—”I didn’t listen to the rest of what he wa

    I bit my lower lip. I knew. I knew exactly what he was trying to tell me, which was why he stayed silent all night. He just waited for me to stop—until I wanted to stop.I shut my eyes and hugged him tightly.“I’m fine. I just needed to—”“Baby…” He cut me off.I lifted my head to look at him. His gaze locked onto mine. The worry and pleading in his eyes were still there, raw and undeniable.“You hold so much sadness in your eyes that I can almost touch the scars of your soul and cry… and I hate it. I hate that I can’t do anything about it. I can’t just be here next to you, waiting for you to calm down,” he continued.

    “Oh my God, are you serious? He’s not in prison because he’s dead. Yuan is dead. I already told you this, didn’t I? Did you just forget, or were you really not listening to me?”I froze when I heard that. My chest hammered hard as I processed her words. I felt my shoulders slump, and I immediately looked at her.“What?” I asked her one more time.“Yuan is dead. He died when they rescued you that day. He shot at you, so Peter got revenge. Dead on arrival. Uncle Timothy and Enrique Lim escaped,” she explained to me.I immediately looked away again. My chest felt tight, but I did not feel any pain. No hurt. Nothing. Maybe it was because my exhaustion outweighed everything else.

    I could not speak after what he said. I stayed quiet, watching the two of them as they finished what they were doing. Asher went ahead to the living room and Miko followed him, leaving me standing there in a daze. Suddenly, I remembered what Ethan and I used to do back then, when we had just started out. When I still did not know his true intentions toward me. We used to hang out like this. Movie marathons, long conversations, and drinking until dawn.I smiled to myself when I realized what he had done. I walked to the fridge to get some water because my throat was already dry. While I was looking inside the fridge, a chill ran through me when I felt someone’s hands wrap around my waist.“Hey…” I heard Ethan’s voice, and I immediately felt at ease.I was about to turn to face him, but

    I stared at that text message for a few more minutes until Ethan suddenly appeared in front of me and quietly took my phone from my hand. When I looked up at him, his brows were already furrowed as he did something on the screen.“Do you often receive this kind of message?” he asked me seriously.A moment later, he glanced at me and handed my phone back.“Just now. Who is that?” I asked, trying to look at the message again, but it was no longer in my inbox. He must have deleted it.He sat down beside me and gently kissed the top of my head. I felt his hand brush against my cheek, so I looked at him.“Just ignore it. It’s nothing,” he said softly.I stared at him for a moment because I could not understand his behavior. I wanted to ask him if he remembered everything now, but I could not, because I did not want to ruin the moment if it was not really the right time yet. I just could not understand why he was acting like this. Was it because of what happened? What exactly had happened?

    Peter and Raul rose from their seats and immediately faced the doctor, while Ethan also stood and stepped closer. Behind the man were his brother Yvo and their lawyer friend Tim.“For now, the patient is stable, but she will need to be closely monitored. We were able to remove the three bullets from her body. We will transfer her to a private room and wait for her to wake up for further tests,” the doctor said casually.That was all Ethan listened to before turning toward the stretcher that had just come out of the operating room. He hurried after it until they reached the room where she would be placed.When everything was settled, he remained inside the room. He watched her in silence. A part of his heart wanted to touch her, but another part of him was afraid of what others might think. He stared at her for a few more minutes before he heard the door bang open and his brother came in with Peter and Tim.Peter approached the sleeping Selina, while Yvo went straight to Ethan.“Why ar
