Chapter 8

Author: Orange
Dante confronted me without even getting the facts straight first, but I simply snorted in response. "You want me to apologize? You should check the security footage and see for yourself who's lying!"

However, he continued to frown in disbelief. "Isobel is ill and pregnant too! Why would she purposely allow herself to fall down the stairs?"

Panic flashing in her eyes, Isobel hastened to gently say, "Let's just forget about it, Dante. It's perfectly understandable for Nina to be upset… Let's go."

I could tell she was worried that Dante would actually check the security footage, so she quickly pretended to clutch her abdomen weakly.

Unsurprisingly, Dante's expression instantly changed. He quickly scooped her up in his arms and rushed off with her.

He didn't come home that night. I figured he was busy tending to Isobel with the "unstable" pregnancy.

The next day, I had most of my luggage shipped to the dorm I'd be staying at in Laran. All that was left was a carry-on suitcase I'd be

  • The Wedding That Will Never Be   Chapter 17

    Since I agreed to let Dante attend my wedding, I had someone deliver the wedding invitation as well as the pre-wedding treat to him.Dante unwrapped the cookie and slowly took a bite. It had been a long time since he last tasted something this sweet.…A sea of guests showed up for my wedding.Tim looked incredibly charming in his well-fitted black suit. As I stared at him while he stood beside me, I felt a sense of peace and joy I'd never felt before. After meeting him, I finally understood what true love felt like. Deceit and mistrust had no place in a love like this.At last, the wedding ceremony began. I took Dad's hand and slowly walked down the aisle toward Tim. When passing my hand over to Tim, Dad solemnly said, "I'm leaving my daughter in your care now.""Rest assured, for I will protect her with my life," Tim promised earnestly.We exchanged our vows and our rings before sharing a passionate kiss. The crowd immediately erupted in cheers and hearty applause.All of the

    I thought I was going to get stabbed, but the pain I'd expected never came. I whipped my head up and realized that Dante had shielded me from the attack. He was clutching his abdomen with one hand, but it was bleeding profusely anyway.Swaying, he ended up crashing on top of me."Dante!"I quickly tried to keep him steady as I called for an ambulance. The only thing I could think of was to stop his bleeding at once."Have you lost your mind?" I cried out as I pressed down against his wound.My fingers were covered in his blood.Dante was already losing consciousness. His face was colorless, but he struggled to keep his eyes open and look at me. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "Now I know… how much it hurts… Was this the pain you felt back then?"My heart clenched, and my nose prickled.Dante only fainted when he heard the siren of the ambulance just moments before it pulled up beside us.…The surgery lasted three hours. The doctor said that none of his vital organs

    Before I had a chance to even say anything, Dante's emotions got the better of him."I can explain everything!" he choked out as his eyes reddened. "At the time, I thought Isobel was the one who saved me. I never had any feelings for her. It was only after you'd left that I found out it was you who saved me that night five years ago. I've been mistaken all along, Nina…"Dante's eyes were filled with regret, but they also held a flicker of hope. He assumed that by revealing the truth, I would be able to forgive him, but he was wrong.I'd saved him that night. I was the one who tended to his injuries and stopped his bleeding, but I never brought it up. It was an incident from the past that we both chose not to dwell on.However, Dante assumed that someone else had saved him, and that mistake cost him our entire relationship."I didn't let Isobel give birth to that baby. I know the truth now, Nina. So can we go back to the way things were between us?" Dante asked.Immediately, I sho

    I spent all those years trying to win Dante over, but he remained as unmoved as a block of ice. His heart was as cold as a rock. However, when Isobel showed up, I realized that he wasn't truly an emotionless person. He simply didn't love me.Two years ago, I canceled our wedding and removed myself from the equation so that Dante and Isobel could be together. Yet, he had broken things off with Isobel and was now behaving as though he was still deeply in love with me."Excuse me, but Tim is my fiance," I coolly declared. "We're getting married on the 18th, which is in ten days."Dante's face turned ashen. His eyes reddened with tears. It was as if he couldn't accept that I was actually going to marry someone else.I was in no mood to get entangled with him. Thus, I decided to leave with everyone and have the party elsewhere. As I walked past him, he grabbed me, but I yanked my hand away without hesitation. Taking Tim's hand, I left the restaurant while Dante remained rooted to the sp

    Two years later, as I stepped out of Manhorne Airport with my suitcase in tow, I was met with a sense of familiarity in the air.I had left Manhorne alone, but after two years, I returned with Tim by my side. The research project had been completed, and the hospital gave me two months off, so I decided to return to Manhorne.There was something I needed to finish off here—a proper farewell."Nina! We're going to be late if we don't hurry!" Tim said before taking my hand and pulling me into a jog.Linda said that she wanted to throw me a welcome-back party. As it had been two years since I last saw my friends, I agreed. As we hurried up the building where the restaurant was, I thought I spotted a familiar silhouette, but I didn't give it much thought.As soon as the door to the private dining room at the restaurant flew open, confetti burst into the air."I didn't hear a single word from you for two whole years! I was on the verge of calling the police!" Linda grumbled out as she

    Dante crashed into an armchair, his eyes clouded red. He was grasping a report he had just received. He said, "Isobel, you're not the one who saved me five years ago."Isobel stiffened, but she kept a gentle smile on her face as she tried to take his arm and say, "Why are you saying this all of a sudden, Dante? Are you tired—"She hadn't finished speaking before Dante flung her off him and snarled, "Drop the act! I reviewed the surveillance footage from the alley at the time. It was Nina who saved me. She was the one who stayed with me when I was on the verge of death!"All the color drained from Isobel's face.At the time, she'd come across Dante at the hospital by sheer coincidence. He'd just woken up and immediately assumed she saved him. She should've clarified things right away. However, in a moment of weakness, she gave in to her selfish desires and played along with his assumptions.Later, her family sent her abroad, which resulted in them losing touch. When she returned, s
