Atlas' povI blinked my eyes and refocused them on the figure that I accidentally saw and marked. "That's right, Elsie!" the woman I saw smiling was her.My eyes stared intently at the sight of Elsie, smiling with a happy face, beside a man I recognised as Seth. At first, I only focused my gaze on that face, everything seemed to be moving slowly, and only she seemed to be moving in my eyes.My attention was on her ultimately until I noticed who was beside her, and the state of her stomach shocked me. My happiness that came after a long time of waiting for news from her suddenly collapsed in an instant, replaced by a crushing blow.Is Elsie pregnant?I was dumbfounded. My heart seemed to be crushed in one hand. I was stunned in disbelief, looking at her in a state I could never have imagined. This was the first time I felt my lips were so tight, and my heart was beating so uncomfortably. My chest felt a strange foreign feeling that I had never felt before.I suddenly felt reluctant to

Elsie's PovSince earlier I was feeling upset, I folded the clothes that I had taken from the washing machine, and all day, I tried to stay busy to get rid of the irritation that I felt. I didn't understand exactly why I was feeling this way, but I certainly didn't feel comfortable with my current feelings at all.I pressed on my chest, which had been pounding since earlier, trying to keep it from being too noisy and disturbing me, but it didn't seem to help either. "What's happening to me?" I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly to be calmer, though it didn't help much.Getting up from where I was folding my clothes, I moved to another corner, noticing which places needed to be cleaned up. I was reluctant to stop occupying myself for one reason. I want to take my mind off Atlas, for some reason, I've been thinking about him lately. I didn't understand either."Maybe it's because I have too much free time. My mind has gotten weird," I muttered, acting like it wa

Atlas' pov."Damn it!" I closed the door of the villa I was temporarily staying in with such force that the bang made the walls of the villa tremble. My breathing was ragged, and my chest felt like a huge weight was pressing it down.I stood facing an indeterminate direction, staring giddily at my current situation. The roar of my breathing that I tried to control still sounded heavy and rough.I clenched my fists tightly, slammed them onto the table and leaned against it. "So he made good use of his time with Elsie?" I hardened my jaw, remembering how he had wrapped his arms around Elsie's waist earlier. "Asshole!" My hands hit the surface of the table hard again.My head felt like it would explode as the memory flashed through my mind. It shouldn't have been Seth who was in that position. It should have been me who greeted him, me who got his smile.I should be the one wrapping my arms around his waist, not that damn guy!The more I thought about it, the crazier it made me. My desir

Atlas' POV"No wonder there's such a disgusting dog smell." I stared at that man fiercely. He was the one who made this mess happen.To me, Seth was the real rioter because his presence affected Elsie too much. Seeing him right before I made it difficult to control myself, especially since that man was acting too boldly.Seth, who passed by me, glanced sarcastically. I watched him walk up to Elsie then put his arm around her shoulder protectively. I wrinkled my forehead at the absurd sight.I mean, what is he doing in front of me?That bastard right now, in front of me, without hesitation, putting his hands on Elsie's body? Has he lost his mind?I hardened my jaw. "What do you think you're doing touching her?" I stared at him sharply, growling furiously at his presumptuous attitude. "Take your hands out of my eyes right now!" my voice could be heard echoing in the room as I caught a glimpse of Elsie in shock. She looked shaky and panicked.The panic on her face made me feel extremely

Elsie's PovTwo days passed from the moment Atlas suddenly came to the house. His appearance was a shock not only for me but also for Seth, who I don't know. I don't know what Seth must be feeling, but he didn't look comfortable and fine with Atlas' sudden appearance.I let out a heavy breath from my nose. I can't deny that I felt various things at almost the same time, making me quite confused, but one thing dominated me at that time, I was so panicked. I was scared of what he would do to me. The memories of the past that made me fall back flashed through my mind, invading me and making me helpless.The memory made me unable to breathe, imagining that I might get the same pain, disappointment and hurt or even worse than that. Inside me was such a mess of things suddenly overflowing that breathing normally became difficult for me.I turned my gaze towards the window outside my room, pulling the cardigan I wore to match the midi dress I wore inside. My eyes scanned the yard, sweeping t
