LOGINWindyActually, 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
POV 3Tucker's eyes were cold as they settled on her, as if piercing through every secret Leah had tried so desperately to hide.His gaze alone made her entire body burn with discomfort, leaving her restless and deeply uneasy.Her lips parted slightly."What?""I know what happened to your family. They've gone bankrupt, and now you're afraid you won't be able to enjoy the life you once had."She shook her head, trying to deny everything Tucker was saying, but her reaction only made him more certain."That's why you came to me in the first place. If I married you, your financial problems would disappear."Tucker was deeply unsettled.The fact that he had slept with another woman had become a nightmare that haunted him relentlessly. He couldn't let it go, so he had investigated everything.And now, he was laying the truth bare before the woman who kept acting as though she were the only one he had ever loved.Tucker's jaw tightened. He hated the woman standing before him—the very woman
POV 3The unsettling feeling spread beneath her skin, leaving her so overwhelmed that she no longer knew what to do. She had been pacing back and forth for quite some time, unable to stand still.She kept muttering to herself, her hands clasped tightly together."No... I might never get another chance to be with him.""Not like this..."Then her gaze shifted to Weston, who was still sitting there, his quiet sobs barely audible after he'd spent so long trying to hold them back."Why did you come to him on purpose? You did it just to make me look bad, didn't you?" she shouted.The longer she looked at Weston, the tighter her chest became."Now Tucker is going to think I don't deserve to be your mother."Leah strode toward him in long, hurried steps. The moment she crouched down, she grabbed the boy by both shoulders, her grip rough enough to make him wince in pain."Listen to me." Her eyes were wide and frantic. "Do you want us to be separated? If you keep acting like this, you and I m
WindyI looked at the little boy. He looked so much like Tucker. He was adorable, and yet seeing him hurt me at the same time.When Tucker arrived, I thought I could finally go home and put everything behind me. At the very least, I believed I would feel a little calmer knowing the child was with his father and would be safe.But then that woman appeared.Leah shouted at the top of her lungs and immediately began throwing cruel accusations at me. The more she yelled, the more irritated I became. I knew her real target wasn't me at all. What she truly wanted was Tucker.She had the audacity to act as though I didn't deserve to be by Tucker's side.I'm his girlfriend, and we love each other. But because of everything she had been saying—and given the situation—I didn't want to make that obvious in front of her.What I hadn't expected was that Leah was the kind of woman who could hurt her own child.She never should have yanked Weston that roughly.The moment she did, my heart ached. I c
TuckerI was furious with that woman for acting so recklessly. Now that I had come to see Windy, the child was with her.Weston smiled at me, but I was still seething with anger.A child this young should never have been left unattended by her mother. What on earth had she been thinking?I walked straight over to Windy. Her expression was rigid, even though she was clearly trying not to show how angry she was."Thank you, Windy," I said quietly, keeping my voice as gentle as possible.I didn't want our conversation to revolve around the child. But Windy didn't seem willing to talk to me. She had been avoiding my gaze ever since I arrived."Windy, can we sit down and talk?"After reflecting on my actions, I realized how many mistakes I had made toward her. I should have explained everything to her myself instead of letting her hear it from that woman.Windy let out a quiet sigh. She finally looked at me, and that alone filled me with relief."Listen, I..."Just as she was about to spea
CassandraI sat in that room as if trapped in a field of absolute frost. My head felt so heavy that I could only keep it bowed down.Every part of my body screamed at the knowledge that man’s sharp gaze was fixed on me. Perhaps he wished to crush me the same way he had done before.Those sharp, col

For some reason, I felt relieved that the discussion was over.Some time ago, I had told Dylan that I needed to return to Coralven to handle a case here.
