“Why are you here?!”
Her eyes widened in shock.
She had never expected to run into Adrian in a place like this. Her heartbeat quickened, not only because of the surprise of seeing him there, but also because she couldn’t ignore the look in his eyes.
Dark.
Sharp.
Completely consumed by emotions he could barely control.
“Let go,” Tara

While You Chose Her, I Claimed Everything [165] b
Adrian was serving his sentence when news of Tara and Victor's wedding appeared. At the time, the man was cleaning a toilet as part of his punishment, which he did not know when would end. His hand, which was holding a cleaning tool, stopped when he heard the news anchor mention Tara's name.He slowly raised his head. The television screen showed Tara in her wedding gown. The woman was smiling beside Victor. A smile that looked so calm and happy.Adrian remained silent for quite some time. Then Victor's voice came clearly from the television.“I don't think an age difference is a bad thing. We love each other.”Adrian's chest felt tight.He stared at the screen without blinking. There were so many things he wanted to say, but not a single one deserved to leave his mouth. Once, Tara had stood by his side. Once, the woman had trusted him and hoped they could build a life together. But he had destroyed all of that with his own hands.

Six months had passed since Tara accepted Victor's proposal. During that time, many things had changed. Tara's condition had improved, her baby was growing healthily, and life in the mansion had become livelier with the presence of their little baby.After going through the recovery period and making all the necessary preparations, the day they had been waiting for finally arrived.Victor and Tara's wedding was held in great luxury. The guests came from all walks of life. Family, friends, business associates, and important people who had known Victor and Tara for years filled the venue. The decorations were luxurious yet elegant.Everything had been prepared with great care, as though Victor wanted to make sure that not a single thing would make that important day feel less than perfect for Tara. However, for Tara, the luxury was not the most important part of the day.What made her happy was the fact that, for the first time, she was standing at a weddin

Not long after Victor finished holding the tiny baby, the door to the recovery room opened again. Liora appeared with Vivian and Gilbert. The little girl stopped in her tracks when she saw Victor standing beside the bed with the tiny baby in his arms.Her eyes immediately lit up. “Is that... my little brother?”Victor smiled. “Yes. This is your little brother.”Liora walked closer carefully. She stood beside Victor and watched the still-sleeping baby with curiosity written all over her face. “He’s so tiny.”Tara laughed softly. “You were that tiny once too.”“Really?”“Of course.”Liora looked at her little brother again. Then she extended one finger and very carefully touched the baby’s tiny hand. “He’s so cute. He looks so much like you, Mommy Tara.”Victor nodded. “You think so?”“Yes.” Liora s

Victor arrived at the hospital in hurried steps. As soon as he received word from Vivian that Tara had been taken to the delivery room, he immediately left everything that still needed to be taken care of. The journey that usually felt long now seemed impossibly slow to him.When Victor finally arrived in front of the delivery room, the door had just opened. A nurse stepped out, and a few moments later, Victor saw Tara, who had already been moved to a recovery room.He stopped in the doorway.Tara looked exhausted. Her face was still pale after going through labor, but there was a faint smile on her face. In her arms, a tiny baby slept peacefully.Victor did not move right away.His eyes slowly reddened at the sight before him. For several seconds, he simply stood there, as if making sure that everything before him was truly real.Tara turned toward him. “Victor?”The man finally approached. His gaze never left the baby in

That day, Tara felt so happy and joyful. Her face had been glowing brightly since morning. After spending several days resting at home, she finally went to the office to hand over her duties to the person who would temporarily replace her during her leave.Tara actually did not particularly like the idea of leaving her work for such a long time. However, she also understood that this time, her body needed more time to rest. Therefore, she made sure that all the work under her responsibility had been properly explained before she officially went on leave.However, she did not expect to receive so many surprises.Several of her coworkers had already prepared small gifts for her. Her colleagues from the same division came to offer their congratulations, and even several people from other divisions took the time to see Tara. They gave her various baby supplies, flowers, and several simple gifts that made Tara smile again and again.“I hope your delivery

The night grew later, but Tara still could not sleep. She had tried closing her eyes several times, but her thoughts kept returning to her conversation with Vivian. For some reason, the figure of Isabel suddenly filled her mind. The woman she had never even met was making Tara think about so many things concerning Victor.Tara knew that Isabel had once been someone very important to Victor. Tara did not want to compare herself to Isabel. She even felt that she had no right to do so. Yet, the more she thought about it, the more questions arose in her mind.Her phone suddenly rang. Tara picked it up and saw Victor’s name on the screen. She immediately answered the call.“Not asleep yet?” Victor’s voice came from the other end.“Not yet.”Victor was silent for a moment. “You sound different.”Tara sighed softly. “I ... just can’t sleep.”“Is something wrong?” V

“How is she?” Tara asked.There was worry in her eyes—soft, aching, unmistakable. She stepped forward the moment the door to her room opened, as if she had been waiting for this exact second.Adrian paused, caught off guard. He hadn’t expected her to still be awake. He had assumed she’d gone to bed

Dinner that evening unfolded exactly as Tara had expected Kara was there too.Normally, Tara would have welcomed her sister’s presence with genuine warmth. Whenever their parents joined them, the house would feel livelier filled with conversation and laughter. Though often, those conversations revo

Victor sat calmly in the back seat, as though the conversation that had just taken place between him and Tara had been nothing significant. But for Tara, it had taken immense courage, along with the sacrifice of her pride, to say those words aloud.For a long moment, she watched him through the rea

The road stretched ahead, quiet and almost eerily calm. Tara drove at a steady pace, the traffic lights shifting from red to green as cars moved along in an orderly rhythm. The afternoon sky was clear—bright, almost indifferent.Nothing likes her.Inside the car, it felt as though a storm had settl
