LOGINCassandraYes, I trusted him, but I still felt uncomfortable about what I had just seen, so I approached them.“Sandra.” Sebastian called my name, smiling at me gently as he always did.I continued walking toward them until I was standing beside Sebastian, my eyes fixed on the woman who had touched him earlier.She looked to be around thirty. She was a beautiful and elegant woman.I didn’t smile at all as I looked at her. “Who is she?” I asked.The woman looked awkward. She opened her mouth, but she didn’t immediately answer my question.“I came here because I wanted to speak with Sir Sebastian—”“You didn’t answer me right away. Do you have some ulterior motive?” I asked her quickly.The woman’s expression changed. She was clearly startled by my words, and now she seemed even more nervous.“I-I’m a reporter from MCL, ma’am.” This time, she handed me her business card.I looked at it and checked her name. She really did work for the news company.“So?” I asked.“I wanted to ask Sir Se
CassandraMy marriage to Sebastian had lasted for decades. Every moment we shared now was filled with love and honesty. His old habit of never listening to me had long since disappeared.He had learned so much about marriage and about the woman he loved. Losing me had been painful for him, just as it had been painful for me back then.The longer we stayed together, the more we understood each other, and I was grateful that I had chosen to hold on to our marriage and to him.Not that I wanted to brag, but it could be said that Sebastian and I had built an incredibly strong relationship.“Well, I saw Yohan’s performance. It became a trending topic.”The sudden voice of a man coming from behind me made me turn around.My brows furrowed slightly when I saw him.“Cillian.”“What’s wrong? Why do you look so surprised to see me here?” he replied flatly.I looked around. Yes, this place could be visited by anyone, and there were no restrictions. That was simply how shopping malls were.“I did
DianaI had been waiting for this moment for quite some time. Every preparation had been handled carefully and thoroughly.The Rivergate University Festival finally began today, and I had been feeling incredibly nervous."Everything will be fine." Miles wrapped his arms around me as we carefully watched everything happening on the stage.The area around us was incredibly noisy. There were so many people attending, and they had all heard that this would be the first stage performance held over the lake.Yes, we had gone all out with the setup, making it spectacular enough to attract everyone's attention."I hope so."Miles leaned closer, his lips near my ear."Of course it will be. I know how hard you've worked for this."Then he looked toward the other side."Just look at them. Everyone is so excited and busy doing their jobs, and the performers are getting ready too."I nodded slowly. A second later, I finally exhaled and walked toward the backstage area.I entered one of the waiting
WindyWhen Tucker entered the house, he came rushing in. He must have immediately noticed my car parked in front of his house. And because he had left his son here, he was clearly panicked.The moment he looked at me, his eyes widened and his breathing became uneven. He froze for a moment, and it felt as though time had slowed between us.He wasn't the only one who felt tense. I did too. I tried my best not to make a scene or overreact.But I still felt incredibly tense, as though the two of us had been fighting for far too long.Then he finally reached me."Mom, could you take Weston?" he asked his mother.The child beside me looked confused, his adorable little face filled with uncertainty. Tucker's mother picked Weston up without saying a word and quickly left the room.Tucker knelt in front of me so he could look into my eyes. Holding my hand, he spoke softly."Windy, I truly didn't mean to keep leaving him here or make you uncomfortable.""I'm sorry if Weston has become a burden
WindyActually, I had only met Diana to discuss the jewelry Yohan would be wearing. The water-themed design was something I really loved. I designed it with so much enthusiasm, although whenever I took a short break, my mind would drift back to the problems I was dealing with.At least the heaviness in my chest had eased a little. I really needed a friend I could talk to about everything that was happening to me.And now, I was on my way to meet Tucker. Even so, I wasn't completely ready to face him yet. I was just buying myself a little more time, so I decided to wait at his house instead.Maintaining a relationship was never easy. Hopefully, being able to continue ours without constantly carrying this heaviness in my heart would make things better.My car had just stopped in front of Tucker's house. I took a deep breath before getting out."Everything will be okay," I whispered to myself.Then I finally walked toward the house. I would wait for him there, and I hoped everything woul
Diana"As I mentioned before, the jewelry Yohan will be wearing will be delivered tomorrow, Diana," Windy said, though she didn't look at me."I made sure it matched the water-themed design perfectly."I cleared my throat several times after hearing that, finally catching her attention. Her eyebrows rose as she looked at me, clearly confused."Is there anything else that's missing?" She shifted restlessly in her seat. "I really did my best to make it beautiful, just like the photo I showed you, Diana.""I know you put a lot of effort into it, but you've seemed distracted this whole time." I finally let out a long sigh."Windy, this must be hard for you."After I said that, Windy let out a long breath. She lowered her head, perhaps trying to hide her tears.A moment later, she wiped them away.For a few seconds, the air around us felt incredibly heavy."Yes... that's how it is.""You'll get through this," I said.We looked at each other, and the sadness in her eyes was unmistakable. Wh
CassandraMy eyes widened at the sound of his whisper. I didn’t expect him to say that here, especially when I was just glancing at him.What should I do?I’m trying to figure out my feelings for him. I care about him and don’t want anything bad to happen. But… do I really like him?I can’t find th
InggridIt’s been almost two weeks, and that man hasn’t contacted me at all. Or rather, I should say he’s blocked my access.Everything I’ve done to try to reach him has failed. I even tried contacting Adrian, but the man only picked up my call and spoke coldly.“It’s better for you to focus on you
CassandraDylan came home very late that day, and to my surprise, the man prepared breakfast for all of us. When I saw what he had done, I couldn’t help but praise him.“Wow, this is all amazing.”I found that he had cooked many kinds of food that happened to be my favorites. Ellen and Paul, who we
CassandraProfessor Johnson said that I had to be here because there was someone I needed to meet. Honestly, I didn’t like the idea, but I also knew I couldn’t refuse Professor Johnson’s request.Dylan was with me. And in the crowd, I wouldn’t attract attention. Besides, this was a gathering of law
