เข้าสู่ระบบCassandraI had been with him since we were children. I followed him with my small steps and at first thought of him as my older brother. Wherever he was, I wanted to follow.Honestly, I thought we were inseparable because we had always been together.The moment I realized my feelings, I wanted Sebastian more. When Grandpa said he would be happy if I became Sebastian’s wife, it only made me even more excited.Instead of accepting my presence beside him, Sebastian felt deeply disturbed and often avoided me. He even had a lover by the time I grew up.The pain truly shattered me when I first found out he already had someone. I tried so hard to win his love, but I failed.After that, I tried to manage my feelings, but I never succeeded, until I finally married him. The only thing I knew was that my love was one-sided.Looking at Sebastian now, I focused on his lips, wanting desperately to get an answer from him.He pulled the car over to the side of the road, a heavy breath leaving his mo
CassandraThere’s always a heavy feeling in my chest when I come here, even though I want to meet someone who is kind to me, someone who cares about me and always welcomes me.But I can say that this house holds many memories, and not all of them are pleasant. Julie, who lives here, often greets me with sarcastic remarks that make me suffer.I treated her politely and hoped that she would eventually change, seeing me truly as her daughter-in-law.The last time we met, she did seem to accept me as her daughter-in-law, demanding things back in a forceful and unpleasant way. The fact is, I’m not comfortable being near her, and fortunately, Grandpa had arranged for her to stay elsewhere.I tried not to overthink things, especially since they’re really none of my business.I sighed before stepping forward, seeing Sebastian holding Miles’ hand with a warm smile on his face.I could have gone here with Miles, but the man had been waiting for me and offered to go together, an offer I couldn’t
CassandraThe moment I got home, I saw Sebastian with Miles. From his appearance, it didn’t look like he had fought with Cillian.For a moment, I imagined that maybe they would end up rolling around in the street, punching each other like little kids. The thought amused me a bit, but seeing things like this also made me feel relieved.“Sandra, could you come with me to meet Grandpa tomorrow?”I realized that lately he had been asking more and more often about meeting Grandpa. In the past, he would only give me orders and never allow me to refuse what he wanted.“I think I can.”I looked at Miles; his face showed happiness, which made me feel relieved.Grandpa is already very old. He is the only one who has been kind to me, so I can’t ignore him, even though I know that in his eyes there is still a hope that I might return to Sebastian.He only said that I needed to choose my own path. I know that, and I’m trying.“I’ll bring Nakka to Grandpa’s house. Is that okay, Uncle?”Miles’s enth
SebastianI shoot him a hostile glare. This man has a desire to possess Cassandra, and I can’t feel at ease after realizing that. He’s been fucking annoying in far too many ways, disrupting my life.“Stop involving her just to try to win against me.”I want to protect Cassandra. She truly has nothing to do with the problems between us.From the very first moment I met this man, I knew he hated me. As far as I can remember, he and I have never had any personal conflict. I’ve never had any dealings with him.It wasn’t until I dug deeper that I discovered his company had crossed paths with mine several times. But the moment he looked at Cassandra, I became even more certain that he wanted her.“Win against you?” He suppresses a laugh, irritatingly. “My desire to have her has nothing to do with you at all.”That—that makes me unable to hold myself back. I move closer, about to punch his face, but he dodges.“Sebastian Monclaire, are you not aware that the one who’s truly disturbing is you
CassandraAll that attention focused on me gives me an uneasy feeling. In a situation like this, I try to free myself from Sebastian, but that man grips my waist tightly.“Sebastian, let go,” I say in a low voice, still trying to push his hand away.“Sandra, you didn’t answer my question.” Sebastian’s voice, pressing down on me along with the sharp intensity of his gaze, makes me fall silent.This is uncomfortable, but then I realize that he has no right to act as if he can control me.With an annoyed smirk, I reply, “Not everything is something you need to know, Sebastian. It’s irritating.”He doesn’t respond to my words, but his hold around me only tightens.“It hurts…”Then I see the look in his eyes shift into panic, guilt, or whatever it is, I don’t really care. This is my chance to immediately shake off his hand and shove his body away.“So you really are a very rough person.”I truly didn’t expect Cillian to already be standing near us. With Sebastian’s hand clenched tightly in
Cassandra“Thank you for recommending your friend to Erica.”Cillian glanced toward the woman with short red hair sitting about five tables away from us. She was Erica, currently talking with the lawyer who would be handling her divorce.My friend Karina took on her case and said she could handle it. I was sure that was also because the fee she would receive was quite large. I couldn’t blame her for that, wanting good pay for one’s work is only natural.At this first meeting, Cillian asked me to accompany his cousin, and it was surprising that he came along as well. I realized that maybe he had only said that as an excuse.Keeping polite, I nodded in response to his words.I didn’t want to be rude to him.“It’s a shame Tucker couldn’t come, otherwise I would have asked you to bring Miles.”I remembered their conversation. Miles’s desire to be friends had looked so sincere; I was sure they could have become good friends.“Miles can’t come today either.”“Why?” he asked gently.His tone
