It was almost nine in the evening, and Nelson still hadn’t shown up—despite his promise to pick me up at Vianna May’s flower shop.

And yes, even if I was still upset with him, I couldn’t deny the worry slowly building up inside me. There was a dull ache in my chest. I knew it might seem petty, but after our misunderstanding, a simple promise like this meant more to me than I cared to admit.

“Hey, Dorry!” Vianna May nudged me, glancing down at her phone.

I gave her a small, tight smile as she sat beside me.

“Are you thinking about Nelson?” she asked with a teasing grin, though I could sense a bit of concern behind it.

I had already told her about our misunderstanding. What she didn’t know, however, was that there was a deeper reason why I was still hesitant to let Nelson back into my life.

“It’s getting late, Dorry,” she said softly. “It might be better to wait for Nelson at our house instead. Diego’s already waiting for me, and I’m sure Violy is tired, too. If Nelson doesn’t show up,

    I left Dorry without a word—not because I was angry about what she said, but because I couldn’t bear to see her crying and hurting because of me. The truth is, I was the one in even more pain. I was carrying twice the weight; I could barely endure it anymore. I felt worthless. I was the reason for her suffering."Nelson..."I was met with worried voices and sad eyes from my friends, but I couldn’t respond. I couldn’t even look at them. I kept my head bowed, my eyes fixed on the gift I was supposed to give Dorry—a gift that was once meant to symbolize my loyalty and love, now a painful reminder of sorrow and regret.Vianna May gently touched my shoulder. “Nelson, please remember we’re here for you and Dorry. Don’t lose hope. Things will get better. Time will heal your wounds, just like it did for Diego and me.” I could feel the sincerity and sympathy in her words, but even then, I couldn’t bring myself to answer her. I couldn’t meet her eyes. I was drowning in shame. I was ashamed in f

    ((Nelson))After I softly whispered Dorry’s name, all I got in return were her wide, tear-filled eyes. It was like my whole body turned to stone—I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. My brain struggled to process what I had just heard.The words Dorry said... “I’m the reason we lost our baby.” Words I heard clearly, like a bomb exploding right in front of me. These are words I never imagined I would hear in my entire life.It was enough to shatter my sanity. That wasn’t what I wanted to hear from her—not now, not ever. Why is fate so cruel to me? Why can’t I catch a break? Was I born to carry problems on my back? Life like this is just... exhausting.I was so happy just minutes ago. I was so excited on my way here, carrying the gift I bought for Dorry—a set of pearl jewelry. That was why I was late to pick her up. I thought it would be a perfect symbol of my love and loyalty to her. But now, I don’t even know if I should give it to her anymore.A gentle squeeze on my shoulder snapped me

    Aunt Norma stood up with her head held high, but no matter how composed she tried to appear, the fury in her eyes betrayed her unease. Her steps were slow and deliberate—and when she finally reached the grand door, she turned and cast one last deadly glare. Her eyes burned with defeat and seething rage, her pride refusing to crumble completely. The sharp click of her heels against the marble floor echoed through the room — the sound of her bitter retreat.I couldn’t help but smile.Anyone watching her would probably think she still had the upper hand — like she was still the one calling the shots, still the most powerful person in the room. But I knew better. That was the look of a woman who had just lost control — and the fire in her eyes wasn’t just anger. It was a warning. A promise of revenge. I needed to stay sharp.After Aunt Norma’s quiet, heavy departure, the rest followed like drenched chicks trailing after their mother hen. Shoulders hunched, heads bowed, not one of them cou

    I walked further into the room, every step calculated — deliberate — and I could feel every pair of eyes following me, especially my ever-so-fake aunt, whose plastic smile could rival anyone's.“I’m here to thank you,” I began, letting my words hang in the air as I gave her a polite, almost sweet smile. Slowly, I watched her smile fade, her eyes narrowing as realization crept in. That look of dawning horror on her face? Priceless. It only fueled me more.Without missing a beat, I casually draped an arm over her stiff shoulders, pretending affection. My fingers pressed into the tense muscles at the back of her neck — just hard enough to remind her of exactly who she was dealing with.“Thank you for...” I said in a low voice — loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. And as I spoke, I threw sharp, knowing glances at the board members — these shameless people who dared conspire with my greedy aunt.“For what?” she asked, her voice noticeably less confident now. I could see it — the

    “Don’t you understand? You are not allowed to get in! Leave now!” my aunt’s secretary snapped arrogantly, blocking the way between me and Jac.I casually poked a finger into my ear. Her shrill voice was starting to give me a headache — it was so high-pitched I felt like I was going deaf.“You should be the one getting out of our way!” Jac growled, barely holding himself back from shutting her mouth permanently — the way her lips kept moving nonstop like a goat chewing grass was seriously getting on his nerves.“And who do you think you are to order me around? You don’t pay my salary,” she spat, jabbing her finger at Jac’s chest before turning her sharp glare on me. She crossed her arms and gave me the nastiest, most wicked smile I’d ever seen.“And you — who do you think you are to give me orders? Aren’t you just the product of your mother’s sin? From that slut of a mother of yours?”My fist clenched tightly. I almost lost it right then and there. My hand was already in the air, ready
