Se connecterWindyWhat weighed heavily on my chest was guilt. Everything felt unbearably heavy.Tucker wasn't wrong. I really did need to think about myself.And I also realized that I had fallen into the habit of constantly blaming myself for everything that had happened. When Tucker threatened to jump, I was terrified.The thought of seeing him lying lifeless on the ground was horrifying.It truly would have been a nightmare.So I decided to do as he said.He promised he would take me to see Kael when the time was right. There were far too many reporters gathered around the hospital, all hoping to get a story about the two of us.I remained restless, wondering when the right time would be to visit without disturbing Kael while he rested.Throughout my stay at the hospital under Tucker's watch, he treated me with great care, though he remained just as strict.I thought I wouldn't get to see Kael at all that day. But that night, Tucker finally walked into the room."Come on. I'll take you to see
TuckerThe atmosphere that day was absolute chaos.The situation became even more chaotic after news spread that Windy was Kael's fiancée. Everyone was questioning why she hadn't appeared when Kael was in such a critical condition.I had already investigated what had happened. This wasn't just an ordinary accident. That man had deliberately thrown himself into the collision to injure himself.And the reason?Simply to force Windy to show up.He was completely insane.I looked around at the chaos caused by his reckless stunt. His family had finally arrived, but they were only doing what was necessary—just enough to stop the reporters from publishing more negative stories about them.I let out a long sigh.It was incredibly difficult to start this conversation, especially since the sharp glare she had been giving me all this time was anything but reassuring.Yes, Windy had finally been caught. Fifteen minutes ago, she had completely lost her temper, shouting and hurling insults at me wi
Tucker“You really aren’t angry with my son?”My footsteps immediately stopped when I heard my mom’s voice. I only wanted to listen for a moment to what she was saying.“Maybe this is better.” Aunt Emma’s voice sounded so weak.From a distance, I could see her letting out a breath until her shoulders lowered.I wouldn’t have met them if I hadn’t needed to go out—to deliver Windy’s sketchbook to Grace. After that, they contacted me, so I came here right away.During these past two weeks, even though Windy seemed fine and calm, I still hadn’t allowed her to leave. She might slip away from me and make a mistake.Yeah, even now, I still believed that she loved me.“Because I’m sick, Windy sacrificed too much for me, and in the end, it made me feel guilty toward her.” Once again, Aunt Emma let out a long sigh. “It’s hard for me to argue with her, and maybe because of what Tucker did, it might actually save her.”My mom held Aunt Emma’s hand.“But… he could make a mistake. Tucker… I’m afrai
WindyHave you ever been kidnapped, yet somehow felt lighter than before?Even the inspiration I once thought had disappeared started coming back so easily after I had stayed here for two weeks.At first, I was genuinely angry at Tucker for doing things his own way. I thought he was extremely rude, completely heartless, and that he was only doing this because he wanted to bother me.Yeah, maybe almost everyone in my position right now would think Tucker just wanted to prove how capable he was of disrupting my world.Maybe because we’ve known each other since childhood, the kind of disturbance that grows up alongside you starts to feel strange once it’s gone, right?That was how I saw Tucker.It’s just that now, maybe I’m the one who’s gone crazy, because little by little I’ve started thinking that living here isn’t so bad. I can sleep peacefully, and it makes my body feel calmer.Yes, that’s right. I can relax more.“I’ll send it to Grace.” Tucker held out his hand and raised an eyebr
Chapter 578WindyI didn't know where he was taking me, but it wasn't his house, and it wasn't mine either. It was a place I had never seen before, and right now, besides being furious, I was also terrified of this different side of Tucker."Let go, Tucker!" I shouted at him once again, my voice firm with authority.He didn't stop. He continued doing whatever he wanted, dragging me into a house before roughly throwing me onto the sofa. It was harsh—frightening."What the hell have you done!?" I screamed, glaring at him.He steadied his breathing. He didn't look at me at all, but I could see the overwhelming emotion radiating from him.As I looked around, everything about this place felt terrifying. I had never imagined he would do something like this to me."I had no choice but to do this," Tucker said at last, turning to face me. "I couldn't let you marry him.""As if—"My words were cut off when he suddenly leaned down toward me, caging me in with his arms braced on either side of m
WindyI'd left something behind at home.The designs I'd been working on were still there, tucked inside my sketchbook. Even though I could easily sketch on my tablet, I had always been more comfortable putting my ideas on paper first.This afternoon, I was meeting with a client. If I couldn't show them those designs, I was sure they'd be disappointed.After all, trust in a brand is something that should grow, not diminish."Windy?"Mom opened the door, but there was something strange about her expression.She looked genuinely startled to see me, though perhaps I was only imagining it. Brushing the thought aside, I stepped inside."Ah, I left something really important here."My gaze immediately shifted toward the second floor.I wanted to grab it as quickly as possible and leave. Whenever I was focused on my work, I felt far more at ease."What? Let Mom get it for you. You stay here." Mom said, taking hold of my arm.I smiled at her. "It's okay, Mom. I just need to grab my sketchbook.
CassandraThis morning, before taking Miles to school, Sebastian and I prepared his lunch together.It was all done at Miles’s request, so I tried to do my best even though I felt annoyed.My irritation was caused by the fact that the man couldn’t follow my instructions properly. Even though I knew
CassandraWhen I arrived home, I saw many items that I was sure I hadn’t bought.Genna approached me. “Miss, all of these were delivered by a man named Alex.”I let out a breath, realizing that at this moment I couldn’t even return everything he had sent, because I didn’t know where he lived.“Just
