A Confession of Love

David sat in the hospital waiting room, his breath unsteady, his hands trembling as he clutched his phone. Beside him, a nurse entered with a gentle smile.

“Sir, everything is fine. Your wife is healthy, and the baby… your baby is well too,” she said reassuringly.

David swallowed hard, his eyes glistening with tears.

“Good… good. Thank you, nurse,” he replied hoarsely. His gaze drifted to Bella, lying weakly on the bed, her skin pale yet still radiating calm.

Bella slowly opened her eyes, looking at David with a weary but loving gaze. She was glad that he had begun to care for her again, even though he was usually cold.

“David… you… you came,” she whispered.

“I will never leave you, Bella. Never. I’ll always be by your side. I promise,” he declared firmly, holding his wife’s hand.

“I… I’m scared, David. But you make me feel safe. I’m glad you still love me,” she murmured, trying to smile des

    The Man Who Was Following Me Bella received a short message from someone saying that she could now strike Olivia at any time because the trap had already been set. “Just wait! I’ve already laid the trap for you. It’s only a matter of time, isn’t it?” Bella was preoccupied with her own world, busy planning something wicked. --- Today felt strange to Olivia, as though someone was following her. “Is this merely a feeling… or am I truly being followed?” She was sitting in a café, yet from a distance she could indeed sense someone trailing her. Raindrops were still falling softly outside the café. Olivia’s eyes fixed upon the shadow of a man standing at the doorway. His tall frame and cold aura made her blood almost freeze. Surely, he was the one who had been following her. ‘Could it really be him who has been tailing me all this time?’

    Sudden AttackA man approached Oscar and whispered to him.“Sir, it seems your uncle has only come here to frighten you. I was guarding Miss Olivia from outside just as you instructed, keeping an eye on her but not stepping in,” said one of Oscar’s men.“Keep watching! Order the others to do the same. Watch from a distance. If anything happens to Olivia, you will all face punishment,” replied Oscar.As his man left, Olivia moved closer to Oscar, for Daniel was now sitting on his elder brother’s lap.“I think I’ve seen that man before. Who is he, Oscar?”“He’s one of my men. Olivia, you must remain safe. Ludwig, Clara, Sophia—you’re Olivia’s friends now, so never leave her side when danger arises,” said Oscar.“Is this truly so dangerous? Can you not send your uncle back to his country?”“I cannot. He has lived here far too long. Every moment is a risk. We must act now. But remember, Olivia—Maximillian is a dangerous man. If he approaches you again, never be alone.”“Why does Uncle hat

    Business Proposal (Next Plan)“Go! Don’t force me to return to you. You don’t deserve forgiveness, but I hold no grudge against you,” said Olivia.“I’ll go home now. Thank you for talking.”“Come! Bring Bella as well for the company partnership. Remember! You can only seek my help now, so rid yourself of that arrogance. Never use my name in the company later.”“Yes, I know. I’m going home now.”David immediately got into his car and returned to his house.---That morning, sunlight streamed through the tall windows of Levine Fashion’s office in Indonesia. Olivia sat upright at her desk, her gaze distant. The previous night, she had been haunted by Bella’s sneers—words that tore open old wounds from the past.But Olivia was no longer the fragile girl she once had been. She drew in a deep breath, touching her own fingers as though to steady herself.“It’s time, Liv,” she whispered. “They may moc

    David’s Growing Regret “You make me angry.” David raised his hand and struck Bella across the face. “David! How could you? Don’t do this! Don’t be violent!” Without another word, David turned on his heel and left her standing there alone. He stormed off, got into his car, and sped away, desperate to reach his apartment. Moments later, he arrived. Alone on the balcony, he lit a cigarette—something he rarely did. His hand trembled. “Olivia… how could she fall in love with Oscar? She looked so affectionate with him earlier. Was it really because I hurt her over and over again? Is that why she rejects me now?” His thoughts drifted back to that rainy night. The image of Olivia’s pale face, her trembling body, little Daniel crying in the corner—his chest tightened, and he closed his eyes in pain. Bella suddenl

    What Is Your Relationship With Oscar? “Must I treat you with such familiarity? What are we now? Nothing more than business partners.” “But we once…” Bella hurried forward, clutching David’s arm tightly. “Olivia Levine? Good heavens, I almost didn’t recognise you. You’ve truly… changed.” Her tone dripped with feigned sweetness, laced with poison. Olivia glanced briefly at her, her eyes cold. “Bella Summers. I’m rather surprised you’ve managed to survive. I thought you’d have sunk with all those scandals you created. I assumed David would have divorced you by now.” Bella’s face stiffened, though she forced a strained smile. “Are you insulting me?” David stepped forward, trying to free himself from Bella’s grip. “Olivia, I… I want to speak with you. Just the two

    Hosting a Fashion Show After Being Slandered “Why would anyone slander me? I’ve fought so hard to reach this point,” Olivia muttered in disbelief at the news she was reading. Several articles had surfaced, displaying sketches strikingly similar to one of her collections—yet they were claimed to belong to Bella. Olivia fell silent for a moment. “Is this Bella’s plan to smear me again?” Mia Chen came rushing in, holding a tablet in her hands. “Sis Olivia! You have to see this!” Olivia read calmly, though her heart trembled slightly. “They won’t stop, will they? They’re slandering us!” Mia gazed at her anxiously. “Should we issue a clarification?” “No. We won’t waste our energy fighting lies. We’ll prove it with our next work. A mirror does not need to prove that it’s genuine—the
