I used my son to save her,” he muttered under his breath. “And now look at me.”

Michael cleared his throat quietly. “Sir… if I may say something?”

Ethan didn’t look at him. “What?”

“You’re not bankrupt yet,” Michael said carefully. “If we freeze the fraudulent accounts now, you could recover a significant portion. I can contact the bank immediately.”

Ethan finally turned. “Do it.”

Michael nodded and began dialing numbers, speaking in a low, professional tone to the bank representative. Ethan wa

    Mira stood up immediately. “Doctor! How is he?”The doctor sighed. “We did everything we could, but… he lost too much blood. I’m sorry.”Mira’s world went silent. She froze in place, unable to breathe.Her vision blurred as tears fell uncontrollably. She stumbled forward, shaking her head. “No… no, please… you’re lying,” she whispered.The doctor shook his head slowly.Inside the room, Ethan lay still on the hospital bed, his body pale and lifeless.Mira fell to her knees beside him, holding his cold hand. “You idiot,” she cried softly. “Why did you have to be the hero now?”She laid her head on his chest, sobbing quietly.“I wish… I was a better husband,” Ethan’s voice echoed faintly in her mind — the last words he had managed to say before he stopped breathing.She covered her mouth, her heart shattering all over again.Moments later, her sister Lyra and her parents rushed into the hospital, followed by her brother.Lyra ran to her and pulled her into a hug. “Mira, oh my God, are yo

    “Welcome,” Chloe said, her voice calm but chilling. “I was wondering how long it would take for both of you to show up.”“Chloe,” Ethan said, his voice trembling with shock. “What is this? What are you doing?”She laughed — a sharp, bitter sound that echoed across the rooftop. “What am I doing? Oh, Ethan, I’m doing what you forced me to do. You thought you could use me, dump me, and walk away like nothing happened?”Ethan took a cautious step forward. “Chloe, this isn’t the way. Whatever it is you’re angry about, we can talk it out. Please, put the gun down.”Her laughter grew louder, wilder. “Talk? After everything you did? After you threw me away for this—” she turned sharply and pointed the gun at Mira, who flinched, her eyes wide with terror. “—this pathetic woman?”“Don’t!” Ethan shouted, his voice breaking. “Don’t you dare hurt her, Chloe! She has nothing to do with this!”“Nothing to do with this?” Chloe screamed, her face twisting with rage. “She took you from me! She ruined e

  • Once you let me go    At the roof top

    A month passed like nothing has happened.Ethan Hale — once a name that commanded respect in every business circle — was now nothing more than a shadow of his former self. His company, Hale Enterprise, had crumbled completely. The investors were gone, the accounts frozen, and the workers — one by one — had resigned, leaving only dust and silence behind.He sat in his empty office, staring blankly at the desk that used to be piled high with documents and deals. Now, only a few unpaid bills and court letters sat in front of him. His once-perfect suit was wrinkled, and dark circles rested under his eyes.The man who once ruled the city had finally fallen.He whispered bitterly to himself, “All gone… everything.”His phone vibrated on the table. He looked at the screen and sighed when he saw the name — Michael, his former assistant.“Sir,” Michael said quietly when Ethan answered, “I just wanted to tell you that… I’m leaving too. There’s nothing left to save.”Ethan closed his eyes. “I un

    Mira looked down, her voice quiet. “Caleb…”He took another step closer. “I don’t care about your past, Mira. I care about you — right now. And if you’ll let me, I’ll prove to you that not every man is like him.”Her throat tightened. She didn’t know what to say.He smiled faintly. “You don’t need to answer now. Just tell me you’ll give me a chance.”Mira stared at him, caught between shock and warmth. His eyes didn’t lie — they were honest, patient, and full of something she hadn’t seen in years: sincerity.She smiled faintly. “I don’t know what to say.”He chuckled softly. “You don’t have to say anything. Just say yes.”Mira hesitated. Her heart thudded gently in her chest. She thought of Ethan — his cold words, his silence, his lack of love. Then she looked at Caleb — kind, calm, open.After a long pause, she nodded slowly. “Yes.”Caleb’s entire face brightened. “Now that’s what I wanted to hear,” he said, grinning widely.Mira laughed softly, her cheeks warming. “You’re quite conf

  • Once you let me go    Diary

    He sat there for a while, staring at the floor. Then, as if unable to stop himself, he flipped through more pages — entries about how she tried to surprise him on their anniversaries, how she stayed up late waiting for him to come home, how she cried silently when he didn’t. Each word stabbed deeper than the last. He leaned his head back against the wall and whispered, “I really don’t deserve her.” He thought back to all those years — how she’d wait for him with dinner ready, how she’d smile when he ignored her, how she’d apologize even when she wasn’t wrong. And yet, what did he give her? Coldness. Silence. Pain. His throat tightened. He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. He slapped himself hard across the face. Once. Twice. “You fool,” he hissed. “You absolute fool.” Tears streamed freely now, and he didn’t care. “I gave our son’s bone marrow to that woman,” he whispered. “To Chloe. The woman who destroyed us. I let her manipulate me. I called it an acci

  • Once you let me go    Yeh diary from my heart

    Ethan arrived home late that evening. The house was silent, too silent. He stepped through the door and called out, “Mira?” — but his voice quickly trailed off. The moment the name left his lips, he froze, realizing what he’d just said. She wasn’t here anymore. She hadn’t been for a long time. He sighed heavily and placed his briefcase on the table. The air felt cold, almost lonely. Everywhere he looked reminded him of her — the couch she always sat on while watching him work, the flowers she used to change every three days, even the faint scent of her perfume still lingered on the curtains. He ran his hand through his hair and muttered, “Why can’t I stop thinking about her?” His chest ached with guilt, regret, and something heavier — longing. As he walked up the stairs, his feet led him to her old room. He hadn’t been in there since the divorce. When he reached the door, he hesitated. For a moment, he considered walking away, but curiosity got the better of him. He turned
