The Only Muse Chapter 9
In the end, Caleb didn't come to my wedding.That day, he had spent a long time choosing a suit. He had taken more sedatives than he should have and even brought a bouquet with him.However, when it came down to it, he chickened out.He had already sent Janessa away. She wouldn't bother me again. However, what if the problem wasn't her? What if the one I detested was him?He stood outside, unable to take that last step forward, even as he clutched the invitation I had sent him in his hand.My wedding was lively.Guests moved in and out, flowers filled the venue, and I stood there in a beautiful wedding dress.I had always stood out.For three years, I had toned myself down for him. Caleb thought that he should've been content with that.The ceremony went without a hitch. Nothing was interrupted just because someone didn't show up.Caleb stood outside the whole time, listening quietly. It wasn't until the groom's vows were said that he finally broke down.He was supposed to
The Only Muse Chapter 8
I didn't expect Benedict to call me.I could ignore Caleb, but I couldn't ignore his father. Sooner or later, there would be business dealings between us.Besides, when I weighed the Turner Group shares in my hands, I had to admit that the father and son were nothing alike.Even over the phone, I could hear the weight of his age. I sighed softly and greeted him, "Mr. Turner."He let out a bitter laugh. "Carolyn, that useless son of mine wronged you, and for that, I'll apologize on his behalf."I smiled politely. "Mr. Caleb is talented and handsome. He won't have trouble finding someone who's right for him."Benedict quickly went along with it. "Yes, that's right. It's just his old issues acting up again. You know about his depression—"I didn't let him finish. "If he's sick, he should see a doctor. I hope he recovers soon."In other words, they shouldn't come to me for help.Benedict always had a good read on people, so he understood immediately. He laughed awkwardly, exchange
The Only Muse Chapter 7
Caleb's expression turned sharp as he stared straight at me. His gaze was cold and cutting. Beneath his hands, the pristine white piano keys were now streaked with blood, the contrast so stark that it was jarring to look at.He had slammed his hands down on the piano with no restraint, as if he didn't care about destroying them. It was pure self-sabotage.Anthony reached over and covered my eyes. "Carol, don't look at him."My heart was still pounding, but at his words, I leaned in and kissed him lightly, reassuring him. "Don’t worry. He has nothing to do with me anymore."We stood up to leave, but Caleb suddenly rushed to the edge of the stage and called out my name at the top of his lungs. "Carolyn, why? You never used to let me get hurt like this!"Caleb was still charming. With that pale, handsome face of his, even his shouting made him look heartbreakingly shattered.Some of the reporters at the scene were already whispering about some tragic, all-consuming love, and more th

By the time Caleb called me, Anthony and I had already made things official. When his name appeared on my screen again, I felt none of the excitement I used to.I answered the call, but there was silence on the other end.I was about to hang up when I finally heard his strained voice. "Carolyn… I called you before. Why didn't you answer?"I was so angry that I laughed. My tone was lined with fury. "Am I supposed to pick up just because you called? In case you forgot, we've already broken up. Your number isn't any different from a stranger's to me."He seemed genuinely hurt. I could hear the uneven rhythm of his breathing. His voice dropped to a near whisper. "I heard… you're with Anthony now?"I suddenly found this entire conversation beneath me.Caleb was no longer my boyfriend, and after everything that had happened, we weren't even on friendly terms anymore.I massaged my temple and replied bluntly, "Yes. He was the one who hung up on you. Sorry, but he gets jealous, so you m
The Only Muse Chapter 5
Caleb stared at the painting that had gone viral and felt his eyes sting.It had been almost a month since I left, but he had never truly believed that I would actually walk away. In his mind, I was just upset, and it wasn't like this hadn't happened before.There had been plenty of times when I would confess my feelings to him, only for him to push me away with cold indifference in the very next moment.Caleb knew how strong-willed I was, and he understood better than anyone how much his actions hurt me, yet he still chose to push me away over and over again.He had deliberately made a show of cherishing the diary Janessa left behind, even going so far as to yell at me over it more times than I could count.He had deliberately ignored me when people mocked me for shamelessly staying by his side, watching me force a smile just to remain with him.He had even pretended to be a germaphobe just to forbid me from wearing makeup.Caleb repeatedly tested my limits, as if he needed con

I never expected to run into Anthony on the flight overseas.He sat down beside me like it was the most natural thing in the world, draped a blanket over me, then took my wrist and carefully tended to my wound.The bruises Caleb had left on my arms stood out harshly against my pale skin.Anthony's movements were gentle. His expression was focused and serious. I watched him for a while before I couldn't help but laugh. "Anthony, your ears are really red."He trimmed the excess bandage, and instead of getting embarrassed, he leaned in a little closer. "Carol, look again. My face is flushed too."Honestly, he was kind of adorable.My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly felt a little self-conscious. "Are you here on business?"He shook his head. "I'm here for you."When I saw my teacher, I was still a little out of it.My main focus had always been taking over the family business, but because I had always been vain, I had picked up modeling as a side gig. I did it whenever the mo
