Chapter 6

작가: Sweet Beet
Sebastian arrived, panting, his face filled with urgency.

"Morgan, why didn’t you go home? You weren’t answering your phone. I was going crazy looking for you."

Morgan’s voice was calm. "I thought you weren’t planning to come home tonight."

That single sentence struck him with guilt.

"Morgan, I’m sorry. Work has been hectic lately. Once things settle down, I’ll make it up to you."

Morgan curled her lips into a faint smile and handed him the time capsule.

Sebastian turned it over in his hands, his fingers brushing against the lid. "Let me see—what was your wish?"

Morgan pressed down on his hand, her expression serious. "Open it in five days.

"I already fulfilled my past wish. Now I’ve put in a new one. Five days from now, I want you to help me make it come true."

Sebastian nodded, his voice filled with indulgence. "Alright, no matter what it is, I’ll make it happen."

Back at the house, Luna was sprawled on the couch, exuding the presence of a mistress who already took over the house.

Morgan intended to ignore her completely.

But Luna, limping slightly, deliberately stepped in her way.

"Mrs. Cole, you’ve known for a while now, haven’t you?"

With all the social media updates, the deliberately placed kiss marks—Luna refused to believe Morgan was oblivious.

Morgan let out a small, tired smile and met Luna’s gaze.

"So, what now? Are you here to flaunt your victory, or are you hoping I’ll drag you out of here like the homewrecker you are?"

She had already decided she didn’t want a cheating husband.

And with the shares she secured from Sebastian, she had more than enough compensation.

There was no need to lower herself further.

Caught off guard, Luna suddenly found herself speechless.

She planned to provoke Morgan into lashing out, hoping to play the victim in front of Sebastian.

But she hadn’t expected Morgan to be this composed, enduring it all just to keep her position as Mrs. Cole.

Morgan brushed past her and walked straight into the house.

Luna suddenly grabbed Morgan’s hand, her voice trembling with panic. "Mrs. Cole, I know I was wrong…"

Before Morgan could react, Luna threw herself forward, slamming her head against the table.

Blood immediately trickled from the gash on her forehead.

That was the scene Sebastian walked in on.

Luna clutched her bleeding forehead, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Mr. Cole, my leg was hurting, so I couldn’t stand up fast enough to greet Mrs. Cole properly… She got angry and hit me…"

Morgan was momentarily stunned by Luna’s sudden act.

Snapping out of it, she quickly defended herself. "I didn’t. She did this to herself."

Tears streamed down Luna’s face as she sobbed pitifully.

"Why would I risk disfiguring myself just to frame you, Mrs. Cole?"

Sebastian’s gaze flickered between the two women before he finally stepped toward Luna and lifted her into his arms.

"Morgan, I know you wouldn’t do something like this, but Luna’s bleeding badly. I need to take her to the hospital first."

Without another word, he carried Luna out, not even glancing back.

Morgan stood in the empty room, staring at the door.

After a long silence, she let out a self-mocking laugh.

Sebastian claimed to trust her, but his actions spoke louder than his words.

It didn’t matter.

A man who cheats was bound to fall out of love sooner or later.

After that confrontation, Luna stopped pretending altogether.

She openly flaunted her relationship with Sebastian, posting intimate pictures of them together and sending messages to provoke Morgan.

“Morgan, when was the last time you even shared a bed with him? Mr. Cole said just looking at your scarred face makes him want to vomit.”

“He slept with me three times last night. He said he wished he could die in my arms.”

“Do you really think playing the quiet, obedient wife will save you from being replaced?”

Morgan never responded.

She simply read every message, saved the photos and chat logs, and stored them away.

Three days passed in a blur.

Morgan sold her shares in the company, picked up her visa, and immediately booked a flight to Haputa for the next day.

She assumed she wouldn’t see Sebastian again before leaving.

But to her surprise, he came home.

He told her that he fired Luna for being careless with her work.

In reality, he had set Luna up in a lavish penthouse—a gilded cage to keep his mistress tucked away in luxury.

Morgan no longer felt any pain over his lies.

What had once cut her deeply had numbed her over time, until now, she simply didn’t care.

"Whatever you decide," she replied indifferently.

Sebastian wrapped his arms around her from behind, his voice carrying a rare hint of vulnerability.

"Morgan, you’ve been acting strange lately. No matter what I say, you don’t seem to care."

Morgan smirked. "What should I do instead? Disagree with you? Demand that Luna stay on as our housemaid?"

Sebastian hesitated for a couple of seconds before speaking. "Morgan, I’ve been feeling uneasy lately… Like I’m about to lose you."

Morgan turned the question back on him. "And if you did lose me, what would you do?"

Sebastian held her tighter. "I’d go crazy. Morgan, don’t leave me."

Morgan’s lips curled into a slow, unreadable smile.

"Then I’ll be waiting to see you lose your mind."

    But would Sebastian really let her leave? After that conversation they had, Grace stopped speaking coldly to Morgan. In fact, there was even a hint of warmth in her tone now. Sebastian’s recovery had also gone well. Within half a month, he was already able to get out of bed and walk. At first, Morgan visited him at the hospital frequently, but as time went on, she only went every few days. Soon, the one-month deadline arrived, and Sebastian was close to full recovery. Morgan booked a flight to Haputa for the next day. That evening, Sebastian arrived at her home with bags of groceries, a bitter smile on his face. “Morgan, I’m here to send you off with a meal.” That was what he said, but deep down, he was hoping this dinner would make her stay. For the past month, he tried everything to win her back, yet nothing had worked. This was his last chance. Morgan could see his intentions but didn’t stop him. A year ago, they didn’t finish the farewell dinner she prepared

  • The CEO Who Loved and Destroyed Me, So I Left Him Crying   Chapter 22

    Morgan was completely caught off guard by the sudden confession, momentarily at a loss for words."I… you…"Robert’s voice remained calm. "You don’t have to answer me now, and I’m not trying to pressure you. I just think confessions should be made in person, not through someone else."If you come back after a month, then tell me your answer, okay?""...Okay.""Good. Until then, let’s just stay as friends."After hanging up, Morgan got out of bed and freshened up.Not long after, she heard Grace’s sharp voice outside the room.The moment she arrived, Grace doted on her son endlessly, fussing over him as if he were on his deathbed.And when she learned Sebastian spent the entire night in pain without proper rest, she flew into a rage, threatening to raise hell with the doctors and nurses.Sebastian quickly intervened, stopping her before she caused a scene.The moment Grace noticed Morgan stepping out of the adjoining room, her expression soured."You slept peacefully while Sebastian was

    "Why not? You’re both single—sounds like a perfect match to me! And if you become my sister-in-law, there won’t be any family drama between us. “Plus, I’ll finally have an ally against my mom. It’s a win-win situation!"Sally was getting more excited by the second, practically wishing the two could get married on the spot.Morgan sighed. "Sally, stop joking around. There’s no way your brother would ever be interested in me."Robert had never dated anyone, but with his background, he could have any woman he wanted. There was no reason for him to be interested in someone like her—a divorced woman who was once disfigured.But Sally’s next words left her completely stunned."What do you mean, no way? My brother likes you!"Morgan blinked. "What did you just say?"Had she misheard?Since she had already started, Sally decided to spill everything. "It’s true! He keeps pictures of you saved on his phone—I saw them myself."I even told him to confess before you left, but he kept stalling, sa

    Morgan’s voice remained calm as she continued, "I once saved your life, and now you’ve saved mine. Sebastian, we owe each other nothing."Sebastian shook his head. "No, Morgan, I’ll never be able to repay what I owe you, not in this lifetime. Please… let me stay by your side, even if only to make amends.""But I don’t need your atonement, Sebastian."I’m doing fine now. My scars are gone. I’ve been happy in Haputa, surrounded by friends. If you force yourself to stay in my life, you’ll only bring me pain."Sebastian opened his mouth but hesitated.He knew letting go was the right thing to do—the only thing he should do.He felt like he was being torn apart at the thought of losing her forever and never being able to hold her again.After a long pause, he finally spoke. "One month. Just stay for one month. After that… if you still want to leave, I’ll personally see you off."Morgan looked at the man lying weak and battered in the hospital bed.In the end, she nodded.…That night, Sall

    "Miss Hayes, can you come to the hospital? Sebastian just woke up. He wants to see you.""I’ll be there soon."Morgan immediately got in a car and rushed back. By the time she arrived, it was already late into the night.The moment Grace saw her, she scowled. "Do you have any idea what time it is? You ungrateful wretch. Did you deliberately drag your feet just to make us wait?"Morgan had been traveling nonstop and was already on edge. She had no patience left for Grace’s attitude."Mrs. Cole, I don’t owe you or your family anything. If you can’t adjust your tone, then I see no reason to stay."Grace shot back, "You don’t owe us? Sebastian ended up like this because he saved you!"Morgan turned to her, her gaze sharp. "And do you know who was behind the wheel?"Grace snapped, "I don’t care who it was! Whoever hurt my son won’t get away with it!""It was the maid he cheated on me with a year ago," Morgan said flatly. "So, tell me, why did this happen? Because of the mess Sebastian c

    Morgan caught Grace’s wrist mid-air and forcefully shoved it aside. "I tolerated you out of respect because you were my elder. But now, we have nothing to do with each other. Don’t think you can throw your weight around like you’re still my mother-in-law." Grace’s face turned pale with fury. "Morgan Hayes, you heartless woman! My son nearly died saving you, and all you can think about is cutting ties with him? How can you be so heartless?" "He saved me because he wanted to. Whether he survives or not is up to fate." Morgan locked eyes with her. "That line sounds familiar, doesn’t it?" Back when she nearly died saving Sebastian, lying unconscious in the ICU, Grace said the exact same thing to Sebastian. Grace trembled with rage. "Fine, I said it. But Sebastian was always sincere with you! He married you despite all the backlash and disfigurement. He treated you like a queen!"He made a mistake that all men make! And what did you do? Disappear on him for a year, leaving him
