LOGINTucker“What exactly are you thinking?”Hearing the man’s voice, I looked at him with slight annoyance. I don’t know why I reacted that way—or maybe I really was a little irritated at Miles because he was being overly suspicious of Windy.“You’re thinking about that woman?”This time, he managed to annoy me again.“You’re acting differently this time. Not like the usual Tucker. You… don’t seem to be enjoying yourself anymore.”Miles responded casually while leaning back onto the sofa. Seeing him playing with his phone while smiling, I knew he was probably texting Diana.“What do you mean? You think I’m dating Windy?”Miles lowered his phone and nodded.“Maybe. Since she doesn’t seem interested in me anymore, I thought you managed to capture her heart and make her move away from me.”My mouth felt heavy trying to talk about this.Before, I had felt pressured and thought I was actually going to do something about Windy. Maybe it was because I was angry and wanted to solve everything qui
WindyAt least an hour had passed since the incident where Diana was almost hit by a bicycle. I had pulled her away quite hard, and it left her a little shaken.Seeing her pale face and how she couldn’t really speak, I decided to take her to the hospital right away.To be safe, it felt better to have her checked immediately. That way, I could truly feel relieved after making sure nothing had happened to her.She lay on the hospital bed and looked at me.“Thank you, Windy.”I nodded.“Yeah. You just need to wait for your husband to come.”She smiled.Even though nothing had happened to her, she still needed a little treatment to recover her energy. That was why she stayed lying on the hospital bed while waiting for her husband to pick her up.Honestly, I really hadn’t expected my day to turn out like this. And while I was thinking about everything that had happened, the door opened.The man who entered the room looked at me coldly, but the moment he looked at his wife, his expression c
WindyLately, Kael and Tucker had gotten into arguments several times. I sometimes wondered if they had ever truly grown up, even though both of them carried major responsibilities, helping manage their respective family companies.Deep down, they still seemed like children.Well, I wasn’t really in a position to judge them too much. Sometimes I acted the same way. I mean, living freely without worrying about anything felt pretty nice.“Ah... but they really don’t need to argue around me.”There were already plenty of things on my mind.Since I was back here, I decided to focus on a few things I genuinely enjoyed.I was going to open a jewelry store here featuring my own designs. I was putting a lot of effort into creating pieces that were truly exceptional.That was why I had been spending a lot of time outside lately—not just to clear my head, but also to look for inspiration.Sometimes I also spent time at jewelry stores, looking at their incredibly beautiful designs.Basically, ev
WindyI really didn’t expect Kael to question this in such a firm voice. Instantly, panic filled me and made me glance around.Luckily, Mom wasn’t here. And I couldn’t imagine what her reaction would be if she found out Tucker and I had kissed.Ah, yeah, I know she might actually be happy, but she’d probably also look really shocked.“What are you saying, Kael? You’d better shut your mouth.” I tried to cover his mouth, my heartbeat still pounding so hard.“Feels good. Isn’t that what kissing is supposed to be like?”I immediately turned to Tucker, who answered so calmly. For God’s sake, it felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.“Oh, I see. I must’ve done a lot for that. Or maybe your thoughts—” Kael deliberately dragged out his tone.Tucker laughed. “You’re so noisy. If we’re talking about closeness, I’m way closer to Windy than you are.” He winked at me.Tucker really seemed to be doing this on purpose just to make me panic. But before I could say anything, Kael immedi
KaelAt a time like this, I shouldn’t be thinking about Windy spending time with Tucker.I know the two of them are friends. Their relationship was close even before I knew Windy. But at the same time, I feel so bothered by that guy.Did he… forget what he did to her?I still remember it clearly, and the way Tucker acts so casually about it makes me furious. Yeah, he shouldn’t be that relaxed. And maybe whatever he does next will only make me even more irritated.I let out a breath. “I’ll deal with it later.” I muttered quietly, thinking I had cleared my heavy thoughts.But throughout the party I attended, I felt really uncomfortable. I couldn’t enjoy it and kept thinking about Windy.There’s no need to feel guilty toward Windy at all when I only slept with her. We knew the consequences, and I also know that she loves another man.What she’s doing right now is trying to forget that man.But I do admit that I’m worried about her.During the time I spent with Windy, I had a good time wi
WindyNothing happened between us.We really knew where the boundaries were between us.Or maybe I could say it was all just imagination in my head, and then reality shattered it when he and I started making out.The image of what happened was still so vivid in my mind.We were only talking about our childhood and the things we used to do. Then Tucker kept showing off over and over again, acting like he was someone truly amazing.We talked about a lot of things, and somehow—maybe because of the alcohol—I started getting carried away. Until we ended up kissing, deeper and deeper, while calling each other’s names.I glanced to my side. “Ah, shit.”Annoyance completely filled me right now, and I immediately punched Tucker in the chest while he was still sleeping beside me.“Wake up! You shouldn’t be sleeping next to me!”He immediately jolted awake in surprise and then sat up, pulling the blanket with him. Yeah, I wasn’t that panicked because I knew we hadn’t done anything more than make
CassandraSeeing her, I was truly shocked. Then the woman pulled Nia’s hair even harder, forcing her backward until she lost her balance and fell.“OUCH!”“Who are you?!”I looked at Nia, who was stunned by the woman who had helped me. It wasn’t only Nia who was shocked, I was too.Nia knew that my
CassandraI quickly pulled my hand back, staring at him sharply.The man smiled, completely underestimating the situation, and I felt like I could read the filth in his mind.They were being harassed and humiliated, and anger made me clench my fists tightly.At first, I didn’t want to draw any atte
CassandraThe air had become warmer than before. Winter had passed, and the scenery had turned greener than it had been.I exhaled, gazing at the clear sky.I had just met Liza at a restaurant to discuss the case we were handling. After that, I was now near the car, preparing to pick up Miles.Sinc
SebastianAnd so, I immediately walked toward them with an uneasy feeling. That man always seemed to be trying to interfere with my time, an intruder who followed Cassandra wherever she went.They noticed my arrival. Still trying to ignore that man, I didn’t want to start a fight that Cassandra wou
