LOGINWindy“Ah?”I almost choked when I heard his extremely shocking words.I looked into his eyes, my gaze trembling, but his eyes remained calm and deep. Now I was the one feeling unease in my own heart.I covered my mouth and swallowed uncomfortably.“Stop talking nonsense, Kael.”He moved even closer to me, placing both hands beside me, trapping my movement at that moment.The moment I looked into his eyes again, he leaned in and brought his lips to mine, kissing me more forcefully than before. Then his hand rested on my stomach.“I’m serious, Windy.”Hearing those words, my heart became completely unsettled, so I pushed him away. Kael slightly gave in, falling down beside me.“With our relationship being like this, I think dating you wouldn’t be a loss at all.”I immediately stared at him sharply. I stayed silent because I felt an overwhelming sense of awkwardness.In a relationship as close as ours, the idea of us dating or being serious had never even crossed my mind.Looking at him
Windy“So look, you seem completely fine.”His voice was gentle, followed by the sound of him placing a glass near me, making me look at him.“It’s hard to admit, but I agree with what that guy said—that you’d be fine if you stopped forcing your choice on Miles.”The corner of my lips lifted.“You and he are friends, I thought. But it turns out you and Tucker have issues?”Kael dropped himself onto the sofa as he let out a long sigh.“It’s not like that. He’s just annoying sometimes.”Did I really believe what he had just said so easily?I leaned closer to him. After I had told him about my feelings for Miles, he should tell me something about himself too.“Really? Have you two ever fought over a woman?”His brows furrowed, and he looked like he was genuinely thinking about what I had said.“No. I never have. It’s just that sometimes Tucker likes causing trouble at parties.”He avoided eye contact with me.“Poor Miles. Sometimes he’s forced to attend those parties.”I knew I hadn’t tr
Tucker“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
CassandraThis wasn’t actually my wish, to be here. My body had been severely drained of energy over the past few days with everything that had happened.But in the end, I came, because once again I had to admit that I couldn’t completely ignore Grandpa’s request.In the past, he had been very kind
CassandraThe pressure I had been feeling earlier had lessened. My awkwardness had faded too. There was no point in avoiding what had happened in the past, it had already happened.I was simply trying to focus on the present and the future. It would be okay.I watched the green leaves swaying in th
Dylan“Hey, where are you going?” George’s voice was full of shock.I looked at him; he had stopped opening the documents in front of him and stared at me with obvious confusion.“Miles just called me.”He stayed silent, but his gaze remained fixed on me.“He asked me to pick him up.” I exhaled hea
Sebastian“Sir, it appears they are the same person.”Grey, the head of security from the special team I formed, reported the results of his investigation.My chest felt as if it were being pressed down hard, filled with impatience.“You still don’t know who the culprit is?”I was still consumed by
