Chapter 6

Autor: Ellie Y
The heroine pouted and waved at me.

“My boss is calling me. I’ll talk to you later.”

She walked off toward the lights and stopped beside Shawn.

A handsome man and a radiant woman.

They looked perfect standing together.

By the time the dinner finally ended, it was already late.

I was trying to figure out how to get home when my coworker, Henry Woods, texted to say he happened to be nearby and could drive me back.

I replied while walking and nearly slammed straight into a pillar.

Before I could hit it, a warm, steady hand pressed lightly against my forehead. The touch lasted only a second, but it stopped me in time.

I looked up in a daze and found myself staring into Shawn’s distant, unreadable eyes.

He had been like this since the moment we met tonight. Calm. Flat. Impossible to read.

I had no idea what he was thinking.

Now that he was powerful and untouchable, would he still come after me for the way I left?

The heroine’s gaze bounced between the two of us before she wh

  • When the Side Character Shares the Heroine’s Name   Chapter 11

    He stared at me for a long moment, his dark eyes heavy and unreadable.The feeling of being hunted by something wild returned, and I shrank back a little.“If you don’t want to, I… I have an antidote.”The next second, his hand clamped around my waist and he kissed me like he had given up holding back.His other hand closed around the back of my neck. The position was absolute control.I shut my eyes and kissed him back.Right before my mind went blank, I heard him whisper against my lips, “Baby, I am not letting you go this time.”---When I woke up again, the sky outside had already gone dark.I lay in the bed and immediately felt tears prick my eyes.I finally understood what it meant to suffer the consequences of my own actions.He still had an arm wrapped tightly around my waist.I kicked him on instinct. “Shawn, why are you so rough?”He woke with a satisfied rasp in his voice. “Too rough for you?”I choked and dove under the blanket before he could bring up the past

  • When the Side Character Shares the Heroine’s Name   Chapter 10

    He asked if I had been doing well because he was worried about me.He got angry last night because he saw me drunk and almost kissing Henry.The more I thought about it, the more my heart pounded.Back then, I truly believed he hated me.I ran away so fast that nothing was explained.And what did I do?I told him he was poor.I complained that he was rough.Then I abandoned him without looking back.He gave me a phone so I could call him, and I threw the SIM card away the same day.Five years of misunderstandings finally cleared up, and instead of relief I felt the sky collapse on me.I thought I had to let him go, but now that I knew the truth, my heart was racing again, completely out of control.I wanted to talk to him right away, even if he never forgave me.But how does one calm a man who has been angry for five years?I sat cross-legged on the floor, thinking so hard my brain hurt. Then I gave up with a sigh.Words would not be enough.Maybe I should use the old method.

  • When the Side Character Shares the Heroine’s Name   Chapter 9

    Thinking back on everything Shawn had done these past few days, something felt off.I had always believed he hated me.I thought he wanted revenge.But if his grand plan for revenge was… biting my mouth like an unhinged dog…That was a pretty terrible method.A wild guess flickered across my mind, but it slipped away before I could catch it.After thinking myself in circles, I finally got up, ready to confront him directly and demand an explanation.That was when I realized the door was locked.I blinked.“...Huh?”Did he seriously lock me inside?I looked around again and noticed a tray of warm breakfast neatly placed by the bed.But I was too focused on tracking him down to care about food. I started searching the room for a key.Eventually, I found a small locked box in the drawer.It had a number lock.I entered all the usual passwords he used in the past.Incorrect.I tried his birthday.Incorrect.On a whim, I even tried my own birthday.Still wrong.Annoyed, I began

    He stared straight at Henry and said, “You think you have the right to confess to her?”—He drove me all the way back to his place without giving me a chance to breathe.The tension in the car was so heavy it felt like the air was shrinking. I could feel danger rolling off him in waves. Every time I shifted like I might escape, he caught my wrist and pulled me back against him.The moment we stepped inside his home, I tried again.Bad idea.Shawn let out a low, humorless laugh and tugged me closer. Half his face was swallowed in shadow, his expression unreadable and far too dangerous.Then his hand wrapped around my throat, and he kissed me.It wasn’t gentle.It wasn’t measured.It was suffocating, aggressive, and deeply familiar.The polished, self-controlled façade he wore in public tore open in an instant, revealing the feral temper he had never really tamed. Underneath all the suits and status, he was still the same wild creature he had been five years ago.But when he s

    “I’m serious. If you don’t believe me, come in and look for yourself!”Which is how Shawn ended up sitting on my tiny secondhand sofa, staring at me while I stared right back.The place was small to begin with, but with his long legs and broad shoulders, he looked even more out of place.That was when regret finally hit me.If he really had come to take revenge, I had just personally invited the danger into my own home.His gaze swept around the apartment, slow and controlled, before finally settling on my face.He stared at my now-sharp chin, at how much weight I had lost.I braced myself.Then he asked quietly, “Have you been doing well these past few years?”Ah.He was checking whether the enemy had suffered.Most people hate seeing their enemies live a good life.So I answered very seriously, “No. I’ve been terrible. Absolutely miserable.”His eyebrows drew together like he hadn’t expected that.His voice dropped. “Then why… did you never call me?”I dropped to my kne
