Se connecterDianaI’ve really been having a hard time lately. Not because I’m still trapped in my trauma, but because Miles keeps sticking to me all the time.I moved my shoulder slightly, asking him to move away from me because it felt difficult to cook like this.“You should just sit down. It’ll be done soon.”Once again, I spoke to him, and I heard him let out a sigh. It seemed like he didn’t really like the idea.Actually, earlier he had suggested ordering food instead, but I really wanted to cook for him. I had been learning a new recipe from the internet.Beef Wellington—I tried making it very seriously because I wanted to see him happy while eating my cooking. Don’t misunderstand, of course I had already seen him smile many times while eating my food.I took a breath, and when I turned around, Miles finally released his embrace while raising both hands as if surrendering.Honestly, I had been a little annoyed by his behavior earlier, but seeing this made me smile instead.“Just wait over t
POV 3For those who enjoy their time, three months can feel incredibly short.During these three months, Miles had grown very close to Diana. He spent a lot of time with her—picking her up, taking her home, even visiting her place.“I knew it would happen sooner or later,” Erick suddenly commented.A few moments earlier, he had seen his boss kiss Diana on the cheek. Although he had already suspected it, he was still a little surprised.When he entered Miles’s office and placed the documents in his hands, he could no longer hold himself back from saying it.The passing days and Miles’s different behavior had naturally made many people curious. Quite a few had noticed it as well.“Sir, I never expected you to be conquered by Miss Diana,” he said teasingly.Still in a very good mood, Miles kept the smile on his face as he looked at Erick.“Who would’ve guessed? Even I didn’t.”The casual answer from his boss made Erick realize that Miles was truly in love. There was no way to stop it.“B
Diana“You don’t need to resist your feelings so much. If you feel sad, angry, or happy, then those are simply the emotions you’re experiencing.”“Diana, don’t force yourself to always be strong.” Joana looked at me sincerely.At that moment, I couldn’t answer her. My head felt heavy, and I had already used up the tissues in her office. Joana is my psychologist—she’s the one who has helped me survive these past few months.Because I have no one, I can’t even talk to anyone about what I’m feeling. My mind feels constantly busy, unable to pause even for a moment to rest.“You mentioned that you have a friend, and that friend is your boss,” Joana said again.I nodded. Lately, I’ve been thinking that my social life has become much better compared to before.Joana smiled as she looked at me. “That’s good. You do need to stay cautious, but socializing isn’t a bad thing.”I let out a breath as I picked up my jacket and bag while standing up.Joana stood up as well. This session had come to a
DianaMy body still felt stiff even after accepting what my boss had suggested. Calling him by his name really made it feel like we had become close.He had already been here for two hours, and I even cooked dinner for him. Just a simple spaghetti.“If she shows up in front of you again, you need to report her to the police.” Sir Miles stood up.I knew who he was talking about, and Paula really was troublesome. Whenever we met by chance, she would always create problems.“Alright, sir.”He looked at me firmly, making me shut my mouth immediately.“Miles…” I corrected myself, feeling a little guilty afterward.I still felt very uncomfortable with this. My mouth simply wasn’t used to calling him that.Then, as Miles walked away, I accompanied him to the door. He had spent a lot of time here. Honestly, I thought he would leave right after having coffee.Eventually, he left, and silence became my only companion again. After letting out a deep breath, I quickly went back inside and did the
DianaI really couldn’t refuse Sir Miles’s offer. Now I sat quietly in his car without saying a word.I was still quite shocked by what had happened earlier and felt guilty for constantly dragging Sir Miles into my problems.Realizing that he must also be very tired—I had almost forgotten that. Seeing how hard Sir Eric worked with all those documents, of course Sir Miles must be going through the same thing.More and more, I found myself admiring him and becoming determined to do my job as well as I possibly could.Finally, we arrived in front of my place. I had been thinking about it seriously since earlier—I didn’t know when I’d get another chance to invite Sir Miles for coffee at my home, and I thought this was the right moment.“Sir, would you like to have some coffee at my place?” I asked hesitantly.Sir Miles’s eyes widened slightly.“Okay.”My heart was truly startled by his answer. I hadn’t expected him to accept so quickly and easily.I tried to be polite—maybe I was even smi
DianaHe looked incredibly firm and convincing when he said that I was his lover.I froze. Shock filled me to the point that I couldn’t even breathe properly. He stood beside me, holding me close.As my awareness slowly returned, my face felt like it was burning red from what had just happened. This was completely unexpected.“…What? That’s impossible.” Paula looked stunned by the statement.She glanced downward, shaking her head. Her reaction clearly showed that she couldn’t accept the fact that I had someone better.Then she looked back at me, her gaze sharp and full of malice.A harsh scoff escaped her. “Don’t lie. Diana isn’t a good woman—she’ll only cause you trouble later.”This wasn’t the first time she had insulted me. Even though she hadn’t been as blatant lately, Paula hadn’t changed at all.Like I said, all she ever did was try to drag me down to my lowest point. Thinking back on everything she had done to me… why did I once consider her so important? Why did I want to prot
CassandraI kept looking at myself in the mirror, trying to prepare for the banquet I would be attending with Dylan.At that banquet, there would surely be many well-known people present, and that made me nervous. Since I would appear as Sandra Astor, some of them might recognize me when they saw m
CassandraI’ve been back in Coraven for seven months now. It doesn’t feel that long, especially since Miles’s health has been improving. During those months, so many things happened that it’s hard to put them all into words.Aside from that man who’s still trying to get close to me, his relationshi
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
CassandraThere was something distinctly different about Ellen’s expression when I met her. She held my hand, looking at me with concern she tried to hide.I couldn’t help but care about her, and I was curious about what she really wanted to talk about. For the past two minutes, she’d looked hesita
