MasukBellaI had just opened my mouth to ask Sebastian another question about his childhood when a loud, excited female voice suddenly echoed across the peaceful garden.“Oh my God, baby, you’re actually here!”The unexpected voice caught both of our attention.Confused, I instinctively turned over my shoulder to see who had called out to him so enthusiastically.The moment I looked behind us, I saw an incredibly beautiful woman rushing toward us with hurried steps.She looked like she had walked straight off the cover of a fashion magazine.Everything about her screamed elegance.Her long hair flowed behind her as she ran, and even from a distance, she carried herself with the effortless confidence of a professional model.Before I could even process what was happening, Sebastian and I both rose to our feet.The woman closed the remaining distance between us within seconds then she threw both of her arms around Sebastian and hugged him tightly.She held onto him as though she had finally
SebastianThree days later, the doctor informed me that I was well enough to be discharged from the hospital, although I was still wearing the bandage wrapped around my head.I already felt much stronger than I had a few days earlier.As I packed the last of my belongings, I realized something that I had been unconsciously avoiding for days.Somewhere along the way, the way I looked at Bella had started changing.The relationship that had once been built entirely on formal conversations, constant arguments, and mutual irritation no longer felt the same.The hatred that had always existed between us seemed to be fading away little by little.Without either of us realizing it, we had somehow begun treating each other with genuine care.Throughout my stay at the hospital, Bella had constantly made sure I was as comfortable as possible, even though hospitals were easily my least favorite places to be.She never complained.She never acted like taking care of me was a burden.She simply di
BellaAfter Damon was taken away by the police officers, I remained standing outside for several moments trying to calm the storm of emotions still raging inside my heart.Everything had happened so quickly that my mind struggled to keep pace with reality.Eventually, I returned home to freshen up before going back to the hospital to see Sebastian again.I quickly took a warm shower and changed into a fresh set of comfortable clothes, hoping they would somehow wash away the exhaustion that had settled into every part of my body.When I finished getting ready, I looked at my reflection in the mirror.Although I still looked tired, I looked much better than I had after spending the entire night sitting beside Sebastian’s hospital bed.Before leaving, I stopped by a fruit store and picked out several fresh fruits. I wanted to bring him something healthy while he continued recovering.With the neatly packed fruit basket in my hands, I drove back toward the hospital.However, the moment I
Damon My phone refused to stop vibrating as Anna continued calling and sending one message after another, desperately trying to force her way back into my life.But she was honestly the least of my problems at that moment.Without even looking at the screen, I silenced another incoming call before carelessly tossing the phone onto the couch beside me.I had no interest in speaking with her anymore.Instead, I remained seated behind my desk while staring endlessly at the photographs of Bella displayed across my laptop screen, unable to pull my eyes away no matter how hard I tried.Every single picture reminded me of the woman I had loved too late, and every memory only deepened the unbearable regret constantly weighing down my heart.I rubbed a tired hand across my face before whispering, “If only I had treated you the way you always deserved, then none of this would have ever happened between us.”Unfortunately, wishing for the past to change had become completely meaningless.Bella
BellaThe doctor remained silent for several painfully long moments, every passing second made my heart pound even harder inside my chest.I was terrified that he was about to deliver the worst possible news imaginable.I took an anxious step closer before pleading, “Please say something. Your silence is making me imagine the worst possible outcome right now.”The doctor finally spoke in a calm and reassuring voice. “Fortunately, he is responding well to the treatment, and his condition has become much more stable than when he first arrived here.”The crushing weight pressing against my chest lifted, and I released a shaky breath that I had not even realized I had been holding throughout those unbearable moments.I pressed a trembling hand against my chest before asking.“Can I please see him now ?.”The doctor nodded before answering. “You may certainly see him, but do understand that he would still remain unconscious for the time being as he requires adequate rest.”I nodded before
BellaThe words spoken from the other end of the call echoed repeatedly inside my head, yet somehow they still refused to make complete sense.Sebastian had been involved in a serious accident.He had already been rushed to a hospital.He was currently receiving emergency medical treatment.For one long, terrifying moment, I stiffened. It felt as though my entire body had forgotten how to move.Then panic hit me all at once.The phone slipped onto my bed as I hurriedly rushed across my room, my hands trembling so badly that I struggled to change into comfortable clothes without fumbling several times.My breathing became uneven as I hurriedly pulled on a pair of casual trousers and the first shirt I could find before grabbing my handbag and car keys without giving another thought to my appearance.The only thing filling my mind was Sebastian.Nothing else mattered anymore.As I rushed downstairs and hurried toward my car, an overwhelming fear tightened painfully around my chest.I co
Bella My words had barely finished echoing through the room when Damien let out a cold laugh and his expression darkened immediately.“Seriously, Bella?” he asked, looking at me with obvious disbelief. “Is this what all of this is about?”The nurse frowned. “Sir, your wife is in a very serious con
Bella I followed behind them quietly, though my steps gradually slowed.By the time I reached the guest room, Damien had already helped Anna onto the bed.He lowered her carefully, one arm supporting her back while the other remained around her waist. Even after she was seated comfortably, he didn
Bella I woke up slowly.The harsh fluorescent lights above me stabbed into my eyes the moment my eyelids fluttered open.Pain greeted me before awareness did.A dull ache pulsed through my entire body, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my abdomen. Every tiny movement seemed to pull at som
Bella The question hit me so hard that for a moment, I forgot how to breathe.Before I could even process it, Damien cleared his throat and his voice carried across the entire office.“This is Anna Sanders,” he announced. “She’ll be taking over the Vega project from now on.”For a second, I just s
