LOGINWindyTime sometimes passed quickly, and other times it felt unbearably slow. When things were enjoyable, time seemed to fly by, but when something unpleasant happened, every second felt like it dragged on forever, almost like a curse.Two weeks ago, my mom started her journey around the world. She considered it a spiritual journey, or perhaps it was simply her way of having fun.Ah, of course, I understood that gratitude could truly be experienced through a journey like that.After that, she sent me countless photos. Every chance she got, she would send me another picture. Don't misunderstand—I wasn't bothered by it at all.I was just a little worried that what she was doing might actually become a burden for her. Maybe she thought she had to send me photos every time she did something so that I wouldn't worry about her.After we talked about it, she reduced how often she sent them. Now, she only sent a few photos a day.And right now, I was sitting with Kael, having dinner with him.
WindyFor a few seconds, I couldn't say a word.I couldn't even blink.Then, when I finally managed to react, my response didn't match the heaviness in my heart at all.I let out a stiff, awkward laugh.“Oh? Well... I guess it's only natural that he'd receive marriage proposals...”I kept looking at Diana, feeling awkward, while she met my gaze without looking away.A moment later, I pressed my lips together and lowered my head.I realized there was no point in saying anything else.If anything, it would only make me seem even stranger.I slowly let out a breath.I truly hadn't expected her words to affect me this much.“Hm... are you really okay, Windy?” Diana asked gently. “He might be getting married to another woman soon. Doesn't that bother you?”I clasped my hands tightly together. Her words made me picture something I had never seriously considered before—what if Tucker really ended up with another woman?But a moment later, I fell silent.“I don't have the right to stop him, D
WindyIt was a bright Monday morning.I already had plans for the day. I was going to visit the Monclair family's residence—not their main estate, as far as I knew. It would be my first time there, and I couldn't deny that I was feeling a little nervous.I was going because Diana had invited me. When we spoke on the phone yesterday, I learned that she and her daughter had been involved in an accident.Just as I was about to open my car door, a black sedan pulled into the driveway in front of my house.“Tucker?” I murmured his name under my breath.As it turned out, I was right.The man who stepped out was Tucker, holding a bouquet of red roses that instantly made my heart race.Ah...To be honest, I had no idea how I was supposed to react. I didn't want to look too happy, only to find out that the bouquet wasn't actually for me.So I held back my smile, even though I wanted to grin.The effort left my expression feeling oddly stiff.“Windy.”He greeted me in a gentle voice.He held ou
DianaFor the past two days, Miles had chosen to work from home because of the accident Amanda and I had been in. He said he didn't feel comfortable leaving the two of us alone while he went out.Since everything at work was running smoothly, I didn't try to persuade him otherwise. Just a few minutes ago, Mrs. Armen came by to give us an update on the investigation into the accident.The event organizer she had hired had already faced the consequences of their negligence. They had assigned a new and inexperienced employee to handle a critical part of the setup.Of course, the sudden strong wind had also contributed to the accident.After Mrs. Armen explained everything, Miles seemed to soften a little. He had always preferred real actions over empty words."You're not going to terminate your business partnership with her, are you?" I asked again, just in case he had changed his mind."I won't. Don't worry." He picked Amanda up in his arms.I loved this side of him—the part that listen
Miles"Come on, everything's okay. Calm down." Diana gently cupped my cheek, but I still couldn't bring myself to look at her.How could I calm down after hearing they'd been rushed to the hospital because of an accident at the party?They had both lost consciousness and were nearly crushed by a collapsing decorative pillar. Iker had shielded them, but they were still injured."Milo."Hearing her gentle voice and feeling Amanda's tiny hand wrap around my finger, I finally looked at the two of them."My heart really felt like it was going to collapse."Diana smiled and nodded. "I know. Look at you—you're a mess." She brushed my hair back, tidying it with her slender fingers.I immediately clasped her hand tightly, locking my gaze with hers. I would do anything for the two people I loved most."Ah... you're both still hurt."I noticed several scrapes on Amanda's hands and face. Just thinking about it made me realize how frightened she must have been."The wind was really strong that day
MilesHandling the crazy request Tucker had thrown at me wasn't difficult at all.When he asked me to arrange the best doctors for the examination, I made it happen.The team of specialists Mom and Dad had assembled years ago when I was seriously ill had turned out to be incredibly valuable. They were experts in their fields, and they put their skills to excellent use. None of the effort spent building that team had gone to waste.The atmosphere at the dining table was relaxed, although the men occasionally wore rather serious expressions."Your album is about to be released, and a lot of people are already calling you a nepo baby," Dad said, looking at Yohan."I was born like this, Dad."Diana smiled at his response. She agreed with what Yohan had said. It wasn't his fault he had been born into this family and had grown up with so many privileges.People on the outside were just talking for the sake of talking. They had no idea that Dad had actually wanted Yohan to take the business
CassandraI sat in that room as if trapped in a field of absolute frost. My head felt so heavy that I could only keep it bowed down.Every part of my body screamed at the knowledge that man’s sharp gaze was fixed on me. Perhaps he wished to crush me the same way he had done before.Those sharp, col
SebastianI sit on the sofa that used to be her favorite spot.Funnily enough, over the past few years, this sofa has become my favorite place too. Whenever I return home, sitting here brings back memories of her over and over again.I still can’t believe how much she lingers in my memory. In a way,
SebastianDamn it, Mother always does whatever she wants. Forcing me again and again to listen to her words.I still believe that what she wants is only to disrupt my time. Even now, when I’m enjoying things my own way, she keeps forcing me to come to the house, saying it’s very important.When I a
Cassandra“I’m entrusting everything to you, Ms. Astor.”We shook hands. For some reason, I felt relieved that the discussion was over.Some time ago, I had told Dylan that I needed to return to Coralven to handle a case here. And just now, I had wrapped up an important discussion with a client, ov
