SebastianJust seeing him made my blood boil. I was easily provoked whenever I faced him.From the very first meeting with that man, I knew he had an interest in Cassandra. The way he spoke, his attitude, and the look in his eyes that refused to accept things at that moment.My marriage to Cassandra was never my choice. It was all because of Grandfather and the circumstances that happened. If only Isabella hadn’t had the accident, then we would have married without involving Cassandra.But there was a time when I was truly forced to pick her up because Grandfather demanded that I come with her. Wanting to get it all over with quickly, I went to her campus then, and that’s how I met that man who blocked me.I remember his words back then, asking Cassandra if she was really sure about stopping her studies. The way he interfered was so irritating. As if he knew exactly what should be done.I told him he knew nothing, and I thought their friendship had ended. But until before Cassandra’s

POV 3“Welcome, Sir.”Sebastian ignored the maid who had just greeted him at the house, even though he had known her for a long time.He entered with a feeling of discomfort. As usual, this place wasn’t good for him, the air felt so dry it was as if he couldn’t breathe.Coming here was like a punishment for him, but he couldn’t keep ignoring his grandfather. As he reached the dining room, Sebastian saw his grandfather and his mother already there.Despite his discomfort, he sat down at a spot far from them, which immediately drew looks of disapproval on their faces.He ate the dinner set before him without enthusiasm. Sebastian was merely waiting for the right moment to leave this place. Maybe just a few bites, more than that, he didn’t want to hear the kind of arguments that could easily turn into war.“You must be very busy, since I heard there’s a problem at one of the company’s branches.”Anderson looked at him with his usual hostility. Everyone already knew that he considered Seb

CassandraI still hadn’t calmed down after meeting him. Inside the car, I kept silent, staring at the bright sky that did nothing to ease my heart.When we finally arrived home, I looked at Miles gently, trying to hide the turmoil within me.Honestly, at that moment my eyes were trembling, and I thought I was going to cry with all the mixed thoughts swirling around. I imagined everything that frightened and tormented me, like if Miles ever found out that it was his father.Then they would be together, and he would be happy without me, because sometimes I think I’m not a good mother to him.“Milo, go with Genna. There’s cake you like in the fridge.”I softly touched his head. Without asking anything, Miles immediately followed Genna.Since long ago, I’ve felt that Miles acts more mature than other children his age. He understands me well, and without a single question, he gives me space to be alone.Once Miles was far enough from me, I let out a long sigh and walked slowly inside. But

SebastianHe looked a mess standing before me. As if something urgent was weighing on him—and it had to concern me, since he seemed hesitant to speak. His lips moved several times before he finally drew a long breath through his mouth.“Speak. Don’t make me angry.”If he thought I had plenty of time to let him waste it, he was wrong.Then, he shook his head and looked rather pitiful as he spoke, his voice breaking and sounding so dry. I knew I had given him a lot of work.And when I heard his words, I was the one taken aback.“Sir Sebastian, the information you requested, I’ve obtained it.” He was making the situation difficult, leaving me to guess which part of the information he was about to reveal.Stepping closer, he looked me straight in the eyes.“Sir, the one who saved you in that fire… was not Miss Isabella.”I didn’t understand his explanation, I was still confused when I thought about it, because as far as I knew, it was Isabella who had saved me back then. She had even been

POV 3He sat slumped on the floor, his eyes fixed downward. The feeling left him completely powerless, consumed by emotions that made him feel utterly wretched.Beside him was Andrian, who stayed close, listening to the sound of Sebastian’s regret-filled sobs.Inside the room, the atmosphere was heavy with darkness. Even though Sebastian had stopped crying, he still looked like a zombie.Then he turned to Andrian, who was sitting beside him. Those pitch-black eyes no longer looked human.“You knew about it?”His voice was low, almost kicking at the closeness of his friend. Remembering all that Andrian had ever done for Isabella, Sebastian saw him as being on her side.Not only that, he also knew Andrian liked Isabella. So it wasn’t surprising to think this man might have known about it.But Andrian shook his head.“This is the first time I’ve heard of it…”Sebastian knew well that this man was telling the truth, and he also looked genuinely shocked by what Isabella had done. Their bon
