MasukDianaWhining to Samuel…?That was such a ridiculous statement—and it made me hate that man even more.In truth, I had once asked for his time. Things like going on dates or doing simple activities together—because we used to be in a relationship.Yes, seeing other people spend time with their partners made me feel envious. I never forced him to do what I wanted. I only asked for a little of his time—like occasionally going out, having dinner, or just taking a walk together.But none of that ever happened. He would reject me coldly and then just leave me behind.What Samuel often did was give me the silent treatment, which eventually made me feel like I was the one at fault.I let out a breath. “I never whined to him. I was the one who often helped with his work.”The woman laughed, briefly covering her mouth.“Come on, everyone knows you came from an average university—and that you even got your previous job because Paula helped you.”My hands clenched tightly. I did go to an average
DianaMy body froze—I couldn’t move, and I thought I was still under the influence of alcohol. Honestly, I really am weak when it comes to drinking.So I thought this wasn’t real. Maybe I was imagining things, and that could lead to trouble.With everything that had happened to me, I just wanted to keep my distance. No one would want a woman like me, and there was no reason for Sir Miles to be here as if he were going to go to the office with me.“Why are you so quiet?” His calm voice startled me again, making me look at him.He hadn’t changed at all. He hadn’t disappeared.Realizing that, I slowly stepped closer. I quickly composed myself and maintained a polite attitude.“Sir, I’m sorry. This is just surprising…” I said hesitantly.Anyone would be shocked to see their boss standing in front of their house early in the morning. It felt like I had done something wrong.“Get in. We’re going to the office.”He got into the car as he said that, and I quickly followed him.Inside the car,
DianaThe exhaustion I felt after studying for hours under Sir Eric’s supervision instantly disappeared when I saw the luxurious place and the incredibly tempting food in front of me.This was my first time eating at such a fancy place. With such exceptional service and seeing the people who had arrived earlier, I knew that everyone here must hold important positions.When I first arrived, I saw the prices—they were astonishingly expensive. It almost made my heart stop.Yes, but with my new salary, maybe I could afford dessert here—though I would have to think very carefully about it so I wouldn’t choose wrong. I had to manage my finances well so I could save more money.I was still amazed when the food arrived. The wine being poured looked extraordinary, and when I saw the year starting with “19—”… I already knew this wasn’t ordinary wine.It was very expensive.I didn’t know what to do—I didn’t dare to start eating first, and Sir Eric noticed me.“Go ahead and eat, Diana.”When I sa
DianaI truly didn’t know what was happening, but in the end, I followed Sir Eric, and now I was in his office—sitting on the sofa with an unsteady heartbeat.I felt anxious.I didn’t know what would happen next, so I stayed silent and waited for what Sir Eric would do. He had been busy with his laptop and the documents on his desk.Not wanting to disturb him, I kept waiting, keeping my mouth shut. Until finally, there was a sound of something hitting the table, and when I saw him approaching, my back stiffened.“Miss, you need to read this. It’s about your work there, and of course, your salary.”I took the document he handed me slowly. I couldn’t hide the fact that his words made me think.“Will my salary be reduced because you’re training me, sir?”This company had already been very good to me, but since I was now living somewhere more expensive than before, it made me a bit uneasy.If the salary cut was more than half, I would have to reconsider where I lived.He shook his head. “
DianaI woke up with my body aching. Even after sitting on the bed for five minutes, I still didn’t feel like doing anything.I felt completely empty—nothing excited me. It felt like whatever I did would only end in failure.Fuck. For a moment, I even thought about going back to sleep, skipping work, letting myself get fired, and slowly dying alone. My thoughts felt unbearably heavy.I knew that mentally, I was completely falling apart.That was why, after finally getting ready to leave, I made an appointment with my psychologist for today. My darkening mood could turn into something very dangerous.I took a deep breath, and the bus had already stopped in front of me, but my legs felt too heavy to move.What if I ran into one of them later? I mean… Samuel and Paula… and they caused trouble again.Every time I saw them and heard their voices, my heart would race uncontrollably. My whole body reacted in a painful way, as if it was begging me not to keep going.Honestly, I wanted to cry.
CassandraMy child is no longer young, but as a mother, of course I will always worry about him.Lately, I’ve noticed that Miles has been very restless. His behavior has clearly changed, and everyone can see it.Since childhood, he has been extraordinarily intelligent, but his life was also very difficult because of the leukemia he suffered from. Thankfully, those hard times have passed. He now finally has a complete family.I keep waiting for Miles to open up and tell me what’s really going on, but he still keeps everything to himself. Deep down, there have been moments when I almost brought it up.It seems he has made some progress—he has developed an interest in a woman named Diana.Seeing him try to protect the woman he’s interested in makes me happy. After all, what I want is for him not to make the same mistakes his father once did.Then, a moment later, I noticed Sebastian watching over things, and I let out a breath.“What is it, dear?”I reached out my hand, and as usual, he
SebastianI wanted to see her, so I went to her house and found out she wasn’t home. As I heard from Genna that Cassandra was out having fun with her friends, I grew curious and restless.Don’t misunderstand, this doesn’t mean Cassandra isn’t allowed to have fun with her friends. Yeah, you can call
SebastianIt had been two days since I lay in my room because I was sick, feverish.In my entire life, I had never acted spoiled just because of a fever; I even kept going to work. But right now, showing myself to be weak and a little spoiled wasn’t a problem.“Wouldn’t it be better if you were tre
CassandraJust as I expected, they still had sharp looks in their eyes, silently judging each other, unwilling to lose, yet far better than openly attacking one another.“Uncle Cillian, why didn’t you bring Tucker here?” Miles interrupted.The three of us looked at him. The way he stared intently a
Cassandra“I’m sorry for getting you into trouble.”I was listening to Erica’s voice on the phone. With her gentle yet hurried tone, I could tell she felt guilty.“Trouble?”I actually felt guilty toward her too, because the party she had prepared ended up being ruined because of me. I had wanted to
