LOGINMilesWe had just finished the meeting, though I remained cautious throughout. Yes, I still disliked what Tucker had done by bringing someone else along.As for that woman, I had only known her name and had exchanged greetings with her a few times. She wasn’t someone who talked much—a person who seemed very shy.There was nothing particularly special about her, other than the fact that she was one of Tucker’s acquaintances. I knew their mothers were acquainted and had worked together on several occasions. My mother, however, had never seemed to meet her mother.Diana had already gotten into the car, and as I was about to walk around to the other side, the woman stepped in front of me.“What are you trying to do? Have you finally decided to cause trouble?” I responded coldly.Her face flushed red, and her hands clenched tightly.“I just wanted to settle my feelings. I’m not going to cause any trouble... but hearing those words from you still hurts.”Her eyes became glossy with tears.I
DianaSince earlier, I had already noticed that Miles’s expression had turned dark and tense. He seemed displeased with this meeting.“Why did you even bring him here? Do you want trouble?” Miles’s voice was firm.I was afraid he might end up fighting Tucker, and for a moment I grabbed Miles’s hand. Tucker then spoke.“No, it’s not like that. I just came here to meet up, and besides, we’re friends.” Tucker smiled.Hearing that, I, who was still confused, looked at them both.“If you’re friends and just want to catch up, we can go to a café nearby or anywhere you want.” I responded calmly.“Diana.” Miles called my name, his gaze filled with concern. “Don’t push yourself. Aren’t you tired?”I shook my head. “No. I also want to meet your friend. I don’t mind at all.”Since earlier, the woman who came with Tucker had only been silent, simply watching us. That made me even more curious.We finally arrived at the café I often visited with Gisele. We chose a private area so it wouldn’t be to
DianaAfter that incident, I didn’t go to the office for three days. Throughout those three days, news about what had happened to me spread widely.They said it was the dangerous obsession of someone who was completely unable to accept reality.The incident made Miles tighten control over his employees even more. According to Gisele, the atmosphere in the office had become tense. Miles was investigating various rumors and the possibility that someone like that woman might appear again.Now Gisele works close to me, not only because I need a companion, but also as my assistant.It might be a bit excessive, but after what almost happened to me, I don’t think it’s excessive at all.“Sit here.” Gisele quickly pulled out a chair and gently patted it for me to sit down.She acted as my assistant very quickly and was extremely prepared. I think she is one of the fastest people to adapt, even though she values freedom and enjoys many things related to it.I laughed silently as I sat down on t
MilesI waited for news from the doctor who was examining Diana. Even though she seemed much calmer now than before, I still couldn't shake my worry.Earlier, I had heard her scream, and that was why I rushed over to check on her. I truly hadn't expected to witness something like that.Someone had pushed Diana.She had nearly killed her...Although I managed to catch Diana, she had still ended up in pain. Maybe I hadn't truly been able to protect her after all, and that realization filled me with overwhelming fear.“How is she?” I asked hurriedly as soon as I saw the doctor approaching.Diana, who was lying inside the room, must have been anxious to hear about our baby's condition as well.“Everything is fine. The pain she experienced earlier was because the fetus reacted to the shock and stress its mother was going through.”“Really? Are you sure the baby is all right?” I pressed him for an immediate answer.The doctor nodded.“Yes. But that doesn't mean something like this can be ig
DianaI truly felt as though time had stopped.My heart was racing because I knew exactly what could happen to me if I hit the floor hard enough.I could lose the baby.My child might die...In the midst of that overwhelming fear, I couldn't hear the other voices around me. Nearly everyone there seemed worried about my condition, everyone except one person.The woman who had pushed me looked terrified, but not because she was afraid I had been hurt.She was afraid because Miles was standing beside me.Miles cupped my face in his hands. Again and again, his touch shifted from gentle to firm as he repeatedly called my name, urging me to focus on him.When I finally managed to focus, I could see him clearly.“Diana... oh God...” His voice trembled. “Thank God I caught you.”Then he pulled me into a tight embrace.As I grasped Miles’s hand, I could feel how violently it was shaking. He must have been just as terrified as I was by what had almost happened.For a moment after that terrifyin
Diana“Done.”All of my work had been completed successfully. Looking at the finished documents filled me with an incredible sense of satisfaction.Maybe I could brag a little about myself—I was still capable of getting things done, even though my pregnancy sometimes left me feeling unwell.“I’m going to become even better.”I patted the documents in front of me with a proud smile.Miles and his family had already told me about the company they intended for me—the one I would manage in the future and everything that came with it. They all supported me, and I planned to take over after giving birth.Because of that, I would sometimes sit down with my father-in-law and Miles to discuss business matters and other related topics.As for my mother-in-law, sometimes she would join us, and other times she would offer additional advice afterward.Honestly, I felt incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such capable and accomplished people. Being in that environment had helped me grow as well
Sebastian“Sir?”Alden called me with a voice louder than usual.I had just been looking at some company juniors’ data on the tablet, and my mind drifted back to Dylan’s child. I didn’t want to think about it, but lately, everything has just been too exhausting.I wanted a bit of peace and maybe ev

CassandraHere I am, in the cab for two hours already. I decided not to go straight home because I didn’t want that man to find out where I lived.While in the taxi, I had called Dylan to explain why I went home separately from them. It turned out he saw him, thankfully, he didn’t run into Sebastia
DylanWhen Cassandra decided to come with me, I was thrilled. I thought of it as time for just the two of us, hoping that maybe it could even be called a date.After a delicious lunch, we strolled leisurely, letting the sunlight wash over us.
