MasukSebastianI woke up against Cassandra’s chest, burying my face there, relieved by her scent that calmed me. She truly made me grateful to still be alive until now.At such a close distance, just looking at her made me smile.I gently brushed her face, and she slowly opened her eyes.“I’m awake now,” she said softly.Cassandra’s hand moved slowly to hold mine. As I nodded and returned her grip, I let out a breath of relief.“I know. And if you want to go back to sleep, just do it.”Cassandra is a very beautiful woman. I like it when she works with such focus and seriousness. But even when she doesn’t feel like working, I don’t mind at all.Whatever she does, I’ll always feel lucky to have her.She shook her head gently, then slowly moved, making me lift my head from her chest. I immediately helped her sit up.She yawned, then picked up her phone, checking the time and her messages. I already knew what she would do next.Just as I expected, she looked at me.“Unfortunately, I have to wo
POV 3The old man sitting in the wheelchair weakly moved his hand. Slowly, he wrote down everything that was on his mind.“Master, you don’t need to push yourself,” said a well-dressed man beside him in a gentle tone.The morning atmosphere was calm and pleasant, yet it still made him uneasy. He had been watching him for a while.Anderson gave a faint smile. His body still ached, but something kept him going. As someone who had lived a long life, the only thing on his mind now was his family.“I’m done, James,” he said softly.Then he handed over the paper he had just written to the man beside him.His way of thinking was no longer the same as before. After everything he had gone through in life, he had come to understand many things—things he hadn’t understood before.Family had now become the most important thing in his life. And when he thought of Cassandra and Miles, a small smile appeared on his face once again.“Master, you should rest now.”James had already placed his hands on
CassandraMy heart started pounding. It brought a slight sense of fear to me—what if Cillian caused trouble again?I swallowed. The previous issue had already passed. He hadn’t done anything to me since then, and Erica had said he wouldn’t bother me again.For a moment, I gathered my courage to open the gift. When I did, I found a pair of shoes and some plant seeds inside.He surprised me with the gift he sent. Actually, Cillian had a personality similar to Sebastian. Both of them hated losing and always tried to give their best.But this time, the impression Cillian gave was a bit different. He showed that something couldn’t be measured by money, and my heart was slightly touched by that.Actually, I had always thought that Cillian was a kind and gentle man. When I remembered him as a child—quiet and shy, I felt that perhaps his loneliness back then had led him to think in the wrong way.I felt sorry for him.As I let out a breath, my eyes caught a letter at the bottom of the box. It
CassandraMiles moved closer to them. The squirrels reacted as if they knew who had been taking care of them all this time.They acted friendly toward Miles, making him chuckle softly in response. I believed, at that moment, that they were truly connected.“Zin, Zen, Ai, and Ri.” He pointed at each squirrel one by one as he named them.I looked at Miles in amazement—he could really come up with names that quickly.As I glanced at Sebastian, he was smiling too.This would truly be a comfortable home once we lived here.A while later, we went inside the house to check its condition after the renovations. Seeing every detail made me smile.This time, Sebastian had paid close attention to everything we liked. Every time I looked around, I admired it even more.Then I stopped in front of a large wall that still had nothing hanging on it. Sebastian stood beside me.His hand moved. “Our wedding photo will be placed here.”I truly paid attention to what he said. His words brought me happiness
CassandraBoth of them looked very happy when they saw me. I felt happy too and immediately stood up.Miles hugged me, still carrying his backpack.“Mom!”“You just finished school?”He smiled and nodded. He must have done many things that made him happy at school. Since it had been quite a while since he last went, he was probably telling stories about what he did with me and Sebastian.I remembered the souvenirs he brought for his friends. He had chosen all of them carefully. Miles had a gentle heart—and that made me both happy and worried.Sebastian said he could handle it. As a man—the same gender as Miles, I believed he could manage it.Neither of us wanted our son to be taken advantage of in the future. Just his status alone already made people aware of his influence.It might sound arrogant, but it’s the truth.Minutes later, we were already sitting on the sofa. I let Miles lie on my lap. As I played with his hair and watched him, his behavior reminded me of Sebastian.I smiled
Cassandra“Have you found a suitable donor?”I stood beside him and clearly heard what he said. His expression brightened, and that made my heart feel lighter too.“Yes. You need to handle that matter. I’ll talk to the doctor right away.”By accident, our hands brushed, and at that moment he immediately held mine tightly. I knew he was very emotional right now.I stayed silently by his side, listening and ready if he needed anything. To me, Sebastian is very important, and I have to be there for him.The call ended, and Sebastian’s eyes sparkled as he looked at me.“Sandra, Grandpa has found a suitable heart donor.”I smiled widely, feeling relief after hearing it again. This was truly good news.Sebastian released my hand and held my shoulders as he looked at me directly.“Wait here. I’ll talk to the doctor.”With that, he quickly walked away to meet the doctor. I understood very well that this needed to be handled and prepared as soon as possible.Miles and I sat down, with Mother b
CassandraThis was the first day after Sebastian and I got back together.When I first opened my eyes, I didn’t find him beside me. I thought I had been dreaming.I must have looked completely crazy because I couldn’t accept that what I experienced yesterday was just a dream. So I hurried out of th
CillianFuck.I truly didn’t want something like this to happen. Everything I had planned completely fell apart because of that woman.I should have dealt with her immediately and sent her away so she wouldn’t disturb Cassandra.My emotions were running high. I still wasn’t calm at all right now. T
CassandraI had just taken a sip of the coffee Liza made for me. The calming aroma of it made me let out a long breath.“Miss, why is your hand swollen?” Liza asked as she looked at my hand.My hand had to be wrapped with an elastic bandage to keep it from getting worse and to help me move it a lit
CassandraToday, we had a guest at the house. In the past, whenever she came, her eyes would immediately scan every corner of the place, which made me feel tense.After that, she would speak in an unpleasant tone. Every time she did that, I felt an overwhelming fear that triggered my anxiety, makin
