MasukCillianI never expected to feel so worried when I received the news that Orlin wasn't doing well.I immediately rushed over and ordered the doctor to come and examine him. Orlin's condition really didn't look good.I took a deep breath, anxiously waiting for the doctor's examination results. Seeing Orlin looking so pale and unconscious, I couldn't help thinking that something was seriously wrong.When the examination was finally over, I hurried over to the doctor. He then looked at me with eyes that seemed to sparkle with excitement.What a lunatic.I cursed inwardly when I saw how happy he looked while Orlin was in such a condition.“Doctor—”“Congratulations, Sir!”He cut me off, speaking excitedly as he firmly grasped my hand. I honestly had no idea what he was doing.“What?” I asked in surprise.“Congratulations, you're going to be a father.”“A father?”I repeated his words in confusion. I still couldn't quite understand what he meant.“Yes, you're going to be a father because y
Orlin“Am I better than him?”I was genuinely startled by the voice. When I turned to my right, I saw Cillian standing there with a proud smile on his face, clearly pleased that he had overheard me praising him.He stepped closer. “I never expected you to think so highly of me.”I brushed aside Cillian's hand just as he was about to touch my shoulder. “I said that because he's a bastard and you're my husband. There's no way I'd put you down, right?”He nodded in agreement. A broad smile spread across his face as he continued standing beside me.“Why are you here?” I asked.I knew his office wasn't anywhere nearby, and we hadn't made any plans to meet.“I happened to have some business to take care of over there.” He pointed toward a large building across the street. “We were discussing a potential collaboration and some modeling work.”“Oh.”I gave him a brief response without asking for further details about his work. Then, I continued walking toward the car, never expecting Cillian
OrlinI let out a deep sigh of utter frustration.Having a child was never part of my plan, but reality hit me so hard...Everything had become such a mess, so unexpected that I completely lost my balance and nearly fell over. Thankfully, there was a wall behind me to keep me from falling, but even so, this was still completely unexpected...One month ago, I married Cillian. And exactly one month ago, during our honeymoon, I had made a mistake I never saw coming. I had ended up sleeping with him."Oh, my God... I'm such an idiot..." I gripped my hair tightly.It was true that we were already married, and my relationship with Cillian was pretty good. We always had each other's backs. We were practically partners in crime.But having a child together was an entirely different matter.I swallowed hard again, staring at the pregnancy test in my hand. There was no mistaking it. Two lines."No. I'm going to try again."A part of me was still refusing to accept it, so I took another pregnanc
OrlinI woke up feeling a strange warmth in my body. Then I realized that I was having trouble breathing.As I slowly opened my eyes, I discovered that a hand was resting over my nose, partially covering my nostrils.I pushed it away.Then I immediately panicked when I realized there was a hand right next to me. I turned my head in shock and saw Cillian lying beside me.“Did we sleep together?” I shouted.He woke up sluggishly, yawning as he ran a hand through his messy hair before looking at me without the slightest reaction.I stared straight at him, waiting for an explanation. Only then did he finally begin to process what was happening.His head snapped around, and his eyes quickly scanned our surroundings.“What?! We slept together?!”“Damn it!”He was incredibly slow to react, but when he finally did, he was just as shocked as I was. Half an hour after we spent panicking over what had happened, we were exhausted and decided to sit down and reflect on the events of the previous n
POV 3Freedom was nothing but a joke for two people who were supposed to be enjoying their honeymoon after a marriage neither of them had ever wanted.Throughout their trip, they kept receiving calls from both families, including video calls demanding that they prove they were together.As a result, they couldn't even enjoy a moment of peace alone. They had to stick together constantly, and the worst part was that the whole situation had become utterly exhausting."Enough. Turn off your phone, Orlin," Cillian said, leaning back in his chair."Fine. I'll turn mine off, but you have to do the same."Feeling completely drained, they nodded in agreement.Finally, on their second night, they were able to sleep more peacefully. Each of them wanted to enjoy some time alone.The next morning, they happened to step out of their respective rooms at the same time. The two ended up walking side by side."Let's make sure we don't run into each other. I don't want to see you," Orlin said, straighte
CillianI took a deep breath, then did it again and again.Today was my wedding day, and honestly, I hadn't expected Sandra to show up. She had come to my wedding with Sebastian.I'd invited her by sending an invitation through Erica, but I never thought she'd actually come. After all, that man usually stopped Sandra from getting too close to me.When I happened to glance in her direction, Sandra waved at me with a smile.I returned it with a rather stiff smile of my own.All right. Since this was my wedding day and she'd actually come, I didn't need to feel so tense anymore. Today was a good day.Marrying Orlin had been my decision, after all.Then, at last, the bride I'd been waiting for arrived.Incredible. I wasn't exaggerating when I said she was stunning. The moment I looked into her eyes, I found myself momentarily speechless. There was something different about her today.Eventually, I took her hand and guided her to stand beside me before whispering softly, “You must have fou
CassandraAround me, it was quite noisy with the activities of the servants and Ellen, who was meticulously arranging the breakfast we were about to have.Today, I actually felt quite excited, but it was a bit different because Sebastian was sitting across from me to enjoy breakfast together.This
CassandraI’m sure I shouldn’t be feeling this way, this uneasy discomfort after finding out what that man did to entertain himself.He looked for a woman who resembled me. Anyone who saw her would immediately say that the woman was clearly trying to imitate me. I knew it had to be because Sebastia
SebastianOf course, I remembered what Alden had said, even though I could read the expression on that bastard’s face, hinting that I should let Cassandra go.I did it in my own way, just as he said, without forcing her. I wanted to make her feel better, and also… because I wanted her so much.I lo
CassandraI didn’t expect to fall asleep, but I woke up to the sound of knocking on the door, rubbing my eyes slowly.While yawning, I heard the voice of the person knocking on my room.“Ma’am, young master Miles is calling for you.”I immediately got up when I heard what Genna said, slowly glancin
