LOGINWindyI knew exactly what he was doing.The bouquet of flowers he sent genuinely caught me by surprise, and it made me incredibly happy.I love him.Only now had I truly realized just how deeply I loved this man.Even the smallest gestures he made for me were enough to set my heart racing. I couldn't deny that they also filled my body with a comforting warmth.I didn't pull away.Nor did I pretend to be shy when, in truth, I longed for his touch just as much.As he claimed my lips, I gripped the lapels of his shirt tightly, unwilling to let go."Tucker..."I whispered his name, my voice low and heavy as a soft moan escaped my lips.I knew he heard me, yet he didn't stop.One of his hands tightened around my hip, while the other cradled the back of my head, drawing me even closer until our bodies were pressed firmly together.It was almost as if he had no intention of letting me breathe. The kiss lingered for what felt like an eternity.Our scents had mingled together, subtle yet unmis
TuckerI stared at the letter that had just been placed on my desk, completely baffled by it.The only words written on it were:"It's been a long time."I clicked my tongue in annoyance and shot my assistant a displeased look."If it's something as pointless as a prank like this, don't bother bringing it to me."My assistant, Harris, looked at me with a hint of fear. Lowering his head, he replied,"But, sir, I thought it might be important.""What do you mean?" I asked immediately.Harris slid the letter closer to me."This letter is... strange. I think we should find out who sent it as soon as possible. The wording feels... unsettling."Harris had a point.There was something about the letter's joking tone that left me deeply uneasy.I let out a slow breath and tapped my desk a little harder than intended."If you already realized that, then you should've started investigating the sender immediately."Harris nodded.He picked up the letter and gave me a reassuring smile."I'll look
DianaMy body still ached as I looked at the woman sitting across from me. She seemed perfectly calm—almost cheerful—as she scrolled through her phone."I want to go partying as soon as possible," she said, holding up her phone for me to see.On the screen was a newly opened nightclub that looked incredibly luxurious.As much as I appreciated her enthusiasm, I couldn't help clicking my tongue."You just got out of the hospital, Gisele."She let out a soft laugh at my remark.The car continued down the road, carrying us toward the apartment where Gisele lived. I had deliberately come to pick her up because I wanted to see her myself.I truly hadn't expected her to still be willing to work with me. Even more surprising, neither of her parents blamed me for what had happened to her.Still, she would be taking some time off. She needed the rest to recover and regain her health.A psychologist had already evaluated Gisele's condition. She had indeed suffered trauma, but she was handling it
DianaMy eyes had only just opened, and every inch of my body was screaming in pain. Only a day had passed since the attack, so it was only natural, but I couldn't help feeling frustrated that I was in this condition.I lay there silently, letting out a slow breath.Yesterday, I could have died.I was grateful to still be alive.Unlike Gisele, who was still in the hospital receiving treatment, I had already been discharged and was now lying in bed beside Miles.The people who kidnapped us were the same ones who had lost their lawsuit against Miles. They had destroyed their own business and then blamed him for it. Kidnapping me had been nothing more than an act of revenge.It was obvious they would be punished for what they had done, and I was relieved that Miles hadn't killed them.“Hey,” Miles said, his voice still rough with sleep. “What are you trying to do? You should be resting.”I was a little surprised that such a small movement had woken him. He immediately reached for my hand
Diana“You bastard! Stop!”My scream was drowned out by a cry of unbearable pain.The sharp edge of the folding knife dragged across my arm, leaving a long, deep gash. Blood streamed down my skin as tears spilled from my eyes. My entire body shook uncontrollably.“Diana!”“Stop it, damn you! You're going to die for this!” Gisele screamed at the top of her lungs. She twisted her body frantically, trying to draw their attention away from me.“You ugly, useless idiot!” she spat. “You're nothing but trash! Someone as disgusting as you deserves to die buried in filth!”Her insults were vicious.Gisele was provoking him on purpose.The man's gaze immediately shifted to her, burning with rage. Without a second's hesitation, he thrust the knife downward with brutal force, driving it straight into Gisele's calf.“AAAAAH!”Gisele's scream echoed through the room, long and agonizing.“You bastard! Stop!”I kept shouting, desperately trying to stop the torture. I screamed again and again through
DianaAs I opened my eyes, even the faintest ray of light stabbing into them made them burn. I instinctively squeezed them shut again. A sharp, throbbing pain spread through my head, bringing tears to my eyes. But I could tell that my hands were bound tightly behind my back.It hurt.Everything hurt.The muffled voices around me took a few moments to register.“She's the woman... his wife. Her company has ruined everything we had...”The words weren't entirely clear, but I understood enough.My entire body tensed with fear.I could already tell this was far worse than I'd imagined. I'd always known that being part of a powerful family didn't mean living free from danger.I remained silent.Slowly, I cracked my eyes open just enough to assess my surroundings. The place was dimly lit and in complete disarray. It looked like an abandoned warehouse—or perhaps an old house that had long been deserted.There were three men standing nearby. They appeared to be of different ages, one elderly
DylanI looked at the bandage on my hand, letting out a slow breath. The injuries from the car accident were unavoidable. At that time, I truly felt like I was about to kill myself, trying to feel a little more free.As I glanced to the side, the man sitting next to me was typing on his phone using
CassandraI didn’t think about what would happen when we met again, or what reaction I would give him. But I was so worried about him that I rushed to the hospital. I couldn’t hold myself back because of the overwhelming fear I felt.My heart was beating painfully. Even though my legs hurt from run
CassandraAh, I truly didn’t expect what just happened. Dylan proposed to me…The entire room fell silent. Everyone was staring at me, waiting to see my response to this utterly shocking proposal. He had done it so boldly, right in front of all these important people.I took a deep breath, trying t
Sebastian“How does it feel to see her get engaged?”I adjusted my sitting position after hearing Grandpa’s unpleasant question. My reason for coming here wasn’t to listen to that, to words meant to make me suffer and reflect. With my body feeling uncomfortable, I glanced back at him.He kept his e
