Semua Bab Was the Baby Why You Called It Off?: Bab 1 - Bab 8

I returned to the home Silas and I shared.Everywhere I looked, there were traces of our life together; picture frames on the walls, a custom-made rug, and flowers in vases we had assembled together. Once, I thought this house symbolized my happiness.Now, I realized how foolish I had been.Although the picture frames held countless photos of Silas and me, Silas wore a cold, indifferent expression in every single one, while I played the fool, smiling like a clown.He always said he was not the type to smile, but I had seen the way he looked at Nora.It was the kind of look that naturally brought a soft smile to his lips. It was a smile of pure joy and genuine happiness, so different from the impatience he showed towards me.The house was filled with things. They were mine, Silas's, and things we chose together.However, when I looked closer, I realized almost everything had been chosen and bought by me.As for Silas, aside from his personal belongings, there was nothing he had

"It hurts. It hurts so much. My baby…"Silas's face went pale with panic as he moved to pick me up, but Nora clung to him desperately."Silas, I'm in so much pain," I whimpered again.While he hesitated, Caleb ran over, his expression full of anger. Without a moment's pause, he scooped me into his arms."Chally, don't worry," he said, his voice trembling but firm. "I'm here. Your brother's got you."Before leaving, he cast a deadly glare at Silas. "If anything happens to Chally, I won't let you get away with it!"The pain and bleeding blurred my vision, and the harsh light above flickered in and out. Voices calling my name grew distant until everything went dark.I dreamed of the day I first met Silas.Back then, Silas was the well-known but penniless star of our school. His mother had run off when he was a child, and after his father remarried, Silas was abandoned entirely.Cold, distant, and fiercely independent—that was how everyone described him.No one thought they were

"Nora, now that you've realized Silas isn't as useful as you thought, you're trying to cash out before leaving, aren’t you?”"Do you even think he's worthy? Or that you are?”"If I have the means to take everything back, I also have the ability to find out why you and Silas broke up in the first place.”"Publicly funded overseas studies? It’s more like you latched onto a sugar daddy and got dumped in the end.”"Your exploits abroad? I don't even need to dig them up—they're being handed to me.”"If you provoke me again, I'll print those stories into photos and make sure they are circulated everywhere.”"This is my final warning to you.""Chally." A voice filled with misplaced excitement came from the door. Silas strode in, holding a bouquet of lilies in his hands."Look. These are your favorite lilies," he said eagerly. "I know I was wrong. Just give me another chance.”"That incident was just a mistake—I wasn't thinking straight when I said those things.""Silas!" Nora, looki

Nora smiled at me, her gaze sharp and mocking, as she continued, "We were only supposed to scare you, but one of them had other ideas and nearly went too far. You barely escaped being ruined. And after that, Silas decided you were 'dirty.'”"All that talk about timing and feeling unworthy? It was just because he thought you weren't pure anymore!"Silas lost control and lunged at Nora, screaming, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”"I told you to shut your mouth!"Seeing him nearly choke Nora to death, I shouted to stop him, "Enough!"Silas, I suggest you surrender now before you make things worse."He let go of Nora, shaking his head as he spoke, "No. Chally, we can start over.”"I'll get rid of her, and then I'll take you far away. That's all we need.”"Yes, that's the plan!"Before I could respond, Silas dragged both Nora and me to the edge of a cliff by the sea.The cliff was steep and jagged rocks lined the shore below. Waves crashed violently against the rocks, each one seeming
