Proposal No. 101 Chapter 8
"What's wrong with you? So what if she left? Why can't you just get over it? What does she have that I don't?" Tammy snapped.Drew clenched the ring in his hand, his voice icy and cutting. "Don't you dare talk about Bridget like that. Get the hell out of here!"Tammy staggered backward from his shove, crashing straight into the heap of trash.She buried her face in her hands, her voice trembling with tears. "Why are you doing this to me? I've been nothing but good to you, and yet all you can think about is that vicious woman!""That's bullshit!" Drew snapped. "If you hadn't caused all that trouble back then, Bridget and I would never have broken up! You owe her an apology now!"Drew yanked Tammy to her feet, but she fought back, her nails stretching toward me.Out of nowhere, a tall figure stepped in between us.It was Walter. He looked at me, his face etched with worry."Are you hurt?" he asked.I shook my head. Drew's eyes darkened with jealousy, silently demanding to know w

"I didn't show you these earlier because I was worried they might affect your mood," Pierce said. "But now, I think it's important for you to go back and have a proper conversation with Drew."The earliest letter was dated about six months ago. Most of them contained nothing but mundane daily updates, echoing the same few phrases.Drew kept hoping I would retire and come home soon.That was when a harsh realization struck me. Through all the years we were together, Drew had never once asked what I truly wanted.Still, I decided to make the trip back.Pierce advised me to take a few days to rest and recover. Tougher missions would be waiting when I returned.When I arrived, I knocked on Drew's door. The place was almost unrecognizable.The floor was strewn with clutter, leaving no clear path in sight. At the same time, the air was heavy with the scent of alcohol and stale smoke.Drew stood before me with messy, tangled hair and a scruffy beard. His tank top was faded and had a s

My former colleagues didn't bother hiding their scorn, and even the manager bluntly told Tammy to leave.Realizing she had been set up, Tammy tried to cause another scene, hoping Drew would swoop in and defend her. She came close to jumping off the building, and several coworkers had to hold her back. Meanwhile, Drew delayed an important software launch to manage the situation. This time, he was working with international clients renowned for their strict standards.In the end, the company suffered losses amounting to tens of millions. Drew was demoted and left without a paycheck.After Tammy's latest outburst, he finally lost his patience and told her to seek psychiatric help.The truth was, she had manipulated the entire situation solely to spite me. When Tammy found out I had officially resigned, her energy drained instantly. Drew began to unravel as well. The moment he realized I had gone back to the military, he no longer saw the point in tiptoeing around her.He frantica

Pierce had been worried at first that Drew would distract me.After all, I had retired from the special forces back then just to give Drew a sense of security. But looking back, all I felt was utter humiliation."Don't worry, Commander. There's nothing left between me and him."After hearing my story, Pierce let out a heavy sigh. "You never deserved any of that.""It's for the best," he added. "You were always meant to excel in your own field."The military district held a welcome banquet in my honor. Pierce proudly recounted all the achievements and commendations I had earned throughout my career.Those weathered medals reignited the sense of duty I had always felt toward serving my country.A line of female special forces soldiers stood before me, saluting with respect.In that moment, I realized something profound. While I had been making compromises in my own life, countless young women were drawing strength and inspiration from my story.The powerful notes of the military

"But Tammy's health has always been a concern. The company was clearly targeting her on purpose! Aren't you a journalist? Why can't you write a report and expose that shady company for me?"Drew's face twisted with outrage, as if he were the one being victimized.I looked at him quietly, feeling only emptiness inside. Even his birthday gift came with strings attached.Despite knowing it conflicted with my values and posed a risk to my career, I still gave my consent. After all, I had already submitted my resignation. That article would never see the light of day anyway.As my words registered, Drew's eyes brightened with surprise and relief. "What? Are you actually saying yes? Honestly, I was just venting…"We had our share of arguments over matters like this.Drew was well aware that I would never exploit my position or violate the rules.I smiled faintly and said, "Tammy's someone you grew up with. Of course, I want her to get better soon."With a firm nod, Drew expressed his

"Are you out of your mind? Why couldn't you make your own tea? Why did you have to drink Tammy's tea? Are you trying to make her depression worse?"After that, Drew and I didn't speak for a whole month. Meanwhile, he proposed to Tammy five times.I just didn't have the energy to keep going.Out of nowhere, Drew called me over, his expression unreadable."Come sit and eat with us. I actually need to talk to you. Tammy's lease is ending, so she'll be staying at my place for a while. It's best if you give us some space."Tammy smiled sweetly. "Bridget, you know I struggle with depression and hate sharing Drew with anyone. Living under the same roof would be unbearable for me."Looking slightly uneasy, Drew reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.A sharp pain stabbed through my chest, and tears threatened to spill from my eyes.Drew's sudden bursts of kindness always came with a catch, just like how one simple breakfast once bought him the opportunity to propose
