Scattered on the Wind Chapter 23
Dean and Jake knelt on the cold, damp floor, staring at the door that would never open for them again, as if their very souls had been drained away. After that night, the two brothers collapsed under the weight of despair.Dean returned to Lyon Corporation. He became even more silent and distant than before, colder than anyone could bear. He threw himself into work with reckless abandon, practically living at the office, filling every second of his days with endless meetings and tasks to numb a heart that had long since gone barren.He became a perfect machine of work: decisive, ruthless, and merciless. Under his leadership, Lyon Corporation expanded further, amassing greater wealth and influence. However, he shared it with no one. He rejected all arranged matches and introductions, and any woman who tried to get close was met with cold indifference. His world shrank to numbers, endless paperwork, and relentless corporate battles. He never married.Jake, on the other hand, went to t

Dean and Jake had exhausted every method they could think of, from power play to material temptation, humble pleas, obsessive pursuit, and even self-destructive displays meant to win pity. Every single attempt shattered against the fortress Morgan had built with coldness and indifference, leaving behind nothing but wreckage and a deeper sense of despair.In the end, they ran out of strength. They were finally forced to face a truth they had refused to acknowledge: they had lost her forever, not because she was cruel, but because they themselves had crushed whatever faint possibility of affection once existed, along with her dignity and her life, under the weight of the past.On a drizzly evening, Dean parked his car at the street corner across from Morgan’s apartment. He did not get out right away. Instead, he sat there, staring through the rain-blurred window at the warm light glowing from her apartment. He dialed a number he had been blocked from—one he had still tried to call coun

Jake, though, switched to a far more suffocating tactic. He stopped sending flashy, over-the-top gifts and instead began playing the “deeply devoted” card. Every single day, without fail, he appeared below Morgan’s office and, later, outside her apartment. Rain or shine, he stood there holding a lunchbox he claimed to have made himself. He no longer caused scenes or raised his voice. Instead, he watched her in silence, his eyes heavy with pain and longing, as if she were the heartless one who had betrayed him.Once, after Morgan ignored him, he suddenly slammed his fist into the wall beside him. The skin on the back of his hand split open instantly, blood pouring down. He then walked over to her car, raised his bleeding hand in front of her car, and asked hoarsely, “Morg… if I do this… will you at least look at me? Just once…”Sitting inside the car, Morgan stared at his self-harming, attention-seeking madness. Her stomach churned violently with nausea and fear. She immediately loc

The international arrivals hall was packed, a constant tide of people flowing through the exit. Morgan emerged from the crowd, pushing her suitcase. She wore a simple off-white trench coat, her posture straight, her expression cool and distant.Three years had stripped away the last traces of youth from her face, replacing them with composure and maturity. She was even more striking now, yet that beauty felt far out of reach.She had barely stepped back onto her homeland and taken in a breath of familiar air when two groups suddenly closed in from opposite directions, like sharks catching the scent of blood, blocking the exit in front of her.On the left stood Dean. He was dressed in an expensive, tailor-made suit, tall and handsome as ever. However, between his brows lingered exhaustion, along with an almost greedy urgency he could not fully conceal. In his hands was a large bouquet of white flowers which meant devotion, repentance, and faithful love.He looked at her with a gaze

The first time she aimed the spray at him, his entire body froze. Disbelief flashed across his face, followed by raw hurt and crushing frustration.Jake, however, reacted far more intensely than Dean. He was volatile and unhinged in a way that only grew worse with time. At moments, he would lower himself completely; he would beg her in tears, apologizing over and over while slapping his own face, rambling about how deeply he regretted everything and how he had truly fallen in love with her. Then, at other times, her cold indifference would push him to lose control, smashing furniture. He would even drag her away by force when she was simply interacting normally with classmates, sparking panic and more than one call to the police.He went even further. Leveraging the Lyons’ influence, he pressured Morgan’s university and her landlord, attempting to cut off her social circle and financial lifelines entirely, all to force her into submission.The two brothers quickly came to see each

After settling the breakup, Dean returned to the company immediately. He handled every urgent issue at top speed and then gave his assistant an order. “Book the earliest flight to Lindt. Push back everything on my schedule.”At that moment, he had only one wild, urgent thought: to find Morgan immediately. He could not tolerate Jake lurking at her side. Even less could he accept the possibility of losing her completely.During the ten-hour-long flight, Dean did not sleep at all. His mind replayed countless scenarios on repeat; anxiety, tension, and a strange, unfamiliar feeling close to panic burned through his nerves. As soon as the plane touched down, he did not even bother to stop at a hotel. Using the address his people had verified, he ordered the driver straight to Morgan’s apartment.By dusk, the streets of Lindt were bathed in warm, golden light. When Dean’s car came to a stop downstairs, he spotted a familiar yet lonely figure leaning against a streetlamp. It was Jake.Almo
