LOGINPOV 3With all the uneasiness swirling inside her, what Tucker had just done was something Windy had never anticipated.A warm kiss brushed gently against her lips, but within seconds, he deepened it.Demanding and unwilling to let her go so easily.A wave of panic seized her chest. Windy's breathing gradually grew shallow.She immediately began pounding on Tucker's chest, urging him to break the kiss and move away from her.One of Tucker's arms was wrapped around her waist, while the other cradled the back of her head. The kiss didn't stop. Instead, Tucker continued to hold her close in the position he found most comfortable.Moving and continuing to move.Something strange was happening to Windy.No... I don't want this at all.Windy's thoughts seemed to drift as she struggled with the feelings surging through her. Her body temperature had risen, leaving her overwhelmed by a strange sensation she couldn't begin to understand.Amid those feelings, her instincts kicked in, telling her
TuckerAt Aunt Emma’s house, I sat at the dining table with a slightly tense posture. Wendy and I hadn't spoken a single word since earlier.The atmosphere between us had been strange ever since we were at the hotel. Seeing how stubborn she was gave me a headache and left me feeling constantly on edge.Actually, it reminded me a little of the story about my mom’s cousin. Ah, yes—and Uncle Cillian as well. Back then, he was deeply in love with Miles’s mother, and that was what eventually made him suffer on his own.I mean, I know Wendy, and I know that she’s actually a gentle woman. She doesn’t need to put herself in a situation that weighs her down. It would only make things much harder for her.I know Miles very well. Even when he smiles or answers politely, that isn’t his true self. He still carries the blood of the Monclair family. If something displeases him, he would remove it from his life with a blank expression.I finally let out a sigh as I looked at Wendy, who was absentmind
TuckerBefore I could say anything else, he had already ended the call.I realized that what I was doing was indeed annoying; I really shouldn’t have disturbed their honeymoon time. It’s just that I felt extremely irritated because Windy kept trying to bother me.“Ah… yeah, I should just ignore her.”I pressed my forehead with my fingers for quite a long time, trying to calm myself down.Windy was a childhood friend of ours from elementary school. Miles wasn’t actually close to her, but I was the one who was somewhat close to Windy because our parents often met for business matters.Since we were young, she had always tried to get close to Miles, saying that he was amazing and admirable.I never understood why she admired Miles more than me. She never once praised me.“She should really move on already.”I let out a small sigh. I mean, I really didn’t expect that after more than five years without seeing her, she would show up again and this time complain about Miles being married.I
MilesTime seemed to pass incredibly fast because I was spending it with Diana.For the past few days, we had been enjoying our lives in complete privacy, free from people trying to pry into our affairs or chase stories about us.Staying on a private island had definitely been the right choice.Even though it was a private island, it was fully equipped with every facility we could need.There were doctors and nurses, security personnel, chefs, gardeners, and much more.I repeatedly made sure that everything was in perfect order because I didn't want anything to happen to Diana.Just like now.“I don't feel like eating anything right now.”Diana didn't even look up from the book she was reading.She answered me without taking her eyes off the page, which only made my worry grow.“If you don't eat at least a little, you could get sick, Diana.”I pushed the plate I was holding toward her once again.Diana let out a sigh and finally lifted her gaze from the book in her hands.Now, I thoug
DianaI touched his face with trembling hands. This shouldn't have happened. I had ended up hurting him instead.“Calm down. It's okay. The most important thing is that you didn't fall.”He held my hand firmly and helped me to my feet. Everything he did was focused solely on me. Every time I tried to speak, he silenced me with a soft “shh.”All of his attention was on making sure I was okay.Eventually, we made it to the bed. He carefully checked both of my legs, making sure I hadn't bumped into anything.As he lifted his head, he looked at me.“Are you absolutely sure you didn't hit anything, Diana?”“Yes, but right now, we need to treat the cut on your forehead.” I couldn't even blink. Even though he had already wiped the blood away, the wound was still clearly visible.It had to hurt.“Now... please, let me treat it now.” My voice trembled as I struggled to hold back the emotions I had been suppressing.“Alright. You can take care of it now.”He wasn't angry with me. Instead, he le
DianaThe sound of the waves around me was incredibly soothing. Being away from the crowds like this was truly peaceful, especially since I was here with Miles.I could feel the gentle breeze brushing against my skin, the deep blue sea stretching before me, and the seagulls soaring around the beach.Half-lying on the white sand, I smiled and breathed in a slow, steady rhythm.“Would you like some more juice, Diana?” he asked, glancing at the glass in my hand.I shook my head. I had already had more than enough orange juice while relaxing here.“Do you like this place?”Miles asked as if he wanted to make sure everything was enjoyable for me.“Yes. The place your great-grandfather gave you is absolutely wonderful.”I tucked the strands of hair blown by the wind behind my ear and smiled. Ever since Miles told me about this place, I had wanted to visit it.And when I saw the many articles discussing our honeymoon, they all wondered where we would spend it. Many assumed we would be travel
Cassandra“Are you really going to sell your house?”A few days later, Erica contacted me. I knew she was dealing with something very important. As a single mother, there must be many things she has to take care of.Even so, I didn’t expect her to ask about this after several days.The question abo

SebastianI truly felt like a failure for not being able to stop the rumors about us from spreading.I was afraid she would be angry with me, but when I saw her reaction—how calm she was, I felt a slight sense of relief. Still, I didn’t want any false rumors to make her life even harder.After meet
