Mag-log inOrlinI 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
OrlinI honestly never expected Cillian to act like this.He had completely lost control of himself while beating Carter. It caught me off guard and left me panicking because it looked as though he was going to kill the man.“Besides, you don't love him anymore, do you?”His words were true, but I still stopped him before he could kill Carter. We were in a crowded place, and plenty of people were watching. Some of them even pulled out their phones to record what was happening.In the end, I managed to stop Cillian, ensuring that Carter received medical attention and was taken to the hospital.Now, I stared at Cillian.“You're completely insane, Cillian.”Inside the car, he gave me a sharp look.“Insane? He's the one who's crazy, constantly approaching you as if he has some right to do so.”My mouth fell open.It turned out I couldn't argue with him at all. I agreed with what he said about Carter being crazy.Finally, I let out a long sigh and looked at him more gently this time.“You'
CillianCould everything just disappear from my memory? Wouldn't that make things so much easier, so everything could finally work out for the better?My life had become a complete mess. I thought getting engaged to her would make everything all right, but I still couldn't forget Sandra. The woman I loved continued to haunt my memories.Even when I wasn't looking for any news about her, it seemed like the world wanted to make things worse for me. News about her would appear out of nowhere, leaving me with an unbearable ache in my heart.I mean, who would want to see news of the woman they love getting intimate with another man?But even so, when I saw the smile on her face, it seemed like she was truly happy.I hoped that man wouldn't hurt her again or make her life miserable anymore.I had already let her go twice. She deserved to be happy.And after accidentally seeing the news about Sandra, I couldn't sleep at all that night. In the end, I drank several bottles of alcohol and got m
OrlinMy head was practically spinning from dealing with everything. Both of our parents really wanted the two of us to get married as soon as possible.I thought that after I told them my date with that man had gone well, they would give us a break.But what a load of nonsense.There was no break at all. They kept pressuring us to get married immediately, and now we were getting married in two months.It made my head hurt even more. Dealing with Carter alone was already enough to give me a headache.I had no idea what that man wanted. It seemed like his ego was consuming him.None of this was making me excited.“What do you think of this wedding dress?” Mom asked excitedly.“It’s beautiful, Mom. Let’s go with that one. I like it.” I answered while scrolling through my phone.Suddenly, someone nudged my shoulder, and my phone nearly slipped from my hand. I looked at Mom, who was staring at me sternly.“Are you seriously listening to what I’m asking you?”Hearing her question, I felt e

CassandraWas there anything more shocking than what he had just said? I couldn’t say anything in response to such a bold confession.A stalker? I was actually very uncomfortable with that word—it felt as though I had never truly had any freedom.Honestly, I knew that the many times he had run into
CassandraAfter my hand was no longer in a cast, I felt much freer and could do many things again.Today, I had a goal: to cook pasta that Miles likes. Sometimes I think that I can’t be a good mother to Miles because I can’t always cook for him. I know that feeling only comes from my desire to give
CassandraThe year had changed, as had the months. Each passing moment brought a variety of feelings, but I can say that I was handling them better.Sometimes I would meet Julie. She greeted me and behaved in a way very different from how she had treated me before. But I still remained cautious.So
