I'll Protect You

Rael rubbed his brow and said hoarsely, “People have mouths—they’ll say whatever they want. No one can control that kind of thing anyway.”Raina said, “I agree with that. But how did it end? What did Bastian do?”Rael also turned to look at Leif.Leif replied, “Jared stood up for him.”Rael's pupils contracted slightly, and his breath seemed to stop for a beat. He blurted out, “What? Jared... he stood up for him—in front of all those people?”Leif nodded. “Yes.”Public opinion can melt gold, and accumulated slander can grind bones to dust.The crowd's murmurs grew louder and louder. The looks they gave Bastian grew more blatant—some even openly showed contempt.If this hadn’t happened at the Molsen family’s estate—if it weren’t in front of Jared—Bastian swore he never would’ve given anyone the

Moonlight in Darkness

In front of the somber, pitch-black tombstone, the four of them fell silent.Raina crossed her arms and let out a quiet laugh, murmuring, “Forever? I don’t believe in that kind of thing anymore. Maybe he could do it back then… but people change. ‘Forever’—it’s just a lie, isn’t it?”Rael had no answer for that.Leo leaned on Rael's shoulder. After a long pause, he said with effort, “…It’s possible, isn’t it? Even if it sounds foolish, I still believe in it. It’s hard, sure, but if someone can manage it… they must be really brave.”Brave?Raina didn’t think so anymore.She’d given her whole heart and ended up with nothing but ruin.She no longer believed.Rael tilted his head slightly, his bloodshot eyes falling on Leo. He used to think this man was simple and pure. So many times, when he returned to Starlace Villa, the f

Rumors

No one knew how much time passed before three crooked, clumsy characters—“Bastian”—finally appeared on the paper. Though shaky, at least they were legible.Jared encouraged him, “Not bad, you have great comprehension. If you keep practicing, you’ll definitely improve.”Bastian stared at that sheet of paper, at those alphabets, his palms sweaty. He let out a short laugh and said, “Okay, I’ll practice.”That period of time, to Bastian, was probably the happiest and simplest days of his entire life. If not for what came after, maybe—just maybe—he would have been willing to stay by Jared’s side forever, as an ordinary man with no status and no past.At this point, Rael suddenly interrupted, “It wasn’t long after that the Cruz came to acknowledge him, right?”Leif nodded. “Yes. Whatever Jared’s reasons were for keeping Bastian by

Deep Hatred

“Smack—”Before that person could finish speaking, Bastian rushed up and punched him to the ground, then went berserk, raining blow after blow, unwilling to stop, unwilling to let go.These people—fine, let them talk trash about him—but why drag Jared into it?Jared’s face turned pale. It took him a moment before he came to his senses and rushed over to pull Bastian away. Bastian didn’t budge. It took all of Jared’s strength to wrap his arms around him from behind, voice hoarse as he said, “Stop, Bastian… if you keep going, you’ll kill him…”His voice trembled, and so did the hands wrapped around Bastian.Bastian’s eyes were bloodshot. He froze for a long time, then bowed his head slightly, speaking in agony, “I’m sorry, Jared. I’m sorry… I didn’t know it would end up like this, I… I…”

Wrong Choice

A dark shadow flickered across Matthew’s face as he snapped, “Nonsense! So you’re saying you actually feel wronged? That everything you did—was all for Jared? You… You’re really hopeless!”Hopeless?Ha!Bastian locked eyes with Matthew, glaring at the face that bore five or six points of resemblance to Jared’s—same features, but sharper, harder. They were completely different people.After a long pause, Bastian suddenly let out a laugh, loud and sharp. “Yes! I do feel wronged. I am hopeless. Matthew, you’ve lived your whole life on a pedestal. Do you even know what it’s like to fight stray dogs and beggars for food? You’re not me. You’ve never lived through what I’ve lived through. What right do you have to judge me?! You keep saying I have a twisted heart, that I tricked Jared. Yeah, I admit I’ve got a twisted heart. But I never lied to him.

The Masked Threat

No one knew what was going through Bastian’s mind at the time. But in the end, that didn’t matter. Everyone who stood in his way, everyone who had once looked down on him, humiliated him—he killed them all.Not a single one was spared.To be fair, even if it had been Raina in his place, she might not have done any better.After a moment of reflection, she said slowly, “If that drunked man hadn’t recognized Bastian back then, maybe he really would’ve been content to stay by Jared’s side for the rest of his life, living peacefully and aimlessly. Without all the resentment, without any ambition to fight back, he might’ve never returned to the Cruz. But fate...”She paused and shook her head with a sigh. “The world doesn’t deal in ‘what ifs.’ A mistake is a mistake, and no matter the punishment, you have to bear it.”Rael lowered his eyes and echoed, &l

Long-Missing Mireille

Not far away, a faint flicker of firelight appeared.Behind the crowd, someone struck a match. The dim flame illuminated a silver mask.Only then did the crowd see clearly: a crude smile was drawn on the mask.Beneath the mask came a giggling voice, “Rael, look—Leif didn’t come alone. He never really trusted you at all. hahaha—!”The flame went out.Rael's pupils contracted slightly. Rage surged through him as he shouted, “Who the hell are you?!”The man chuckled, “Who am I? That depends on whether you’re capable of finding out. I’ve had enough fun today. Farewell, haha…”He always seemed to be laughing—fearless, deranged.Once the flame died, the figure vanished into the boundless night.Rael's chest rose and fell violently. Leo stepped up beside him, pressing a hand to his wrist, frowning deeply. “Rael, don’t&hel

Beg Me

"Clang—"Mireille flicked the blade with her finger. The sharp clang echoed in the room. A flicker of madness flashed across her face, and her expression twisted slightly, like she was barely holding it together.The next second, she suddenly stood up and strode over to where Sora was hanging upside down. She crouched down, holding the knife in one hand, and started tapping the blade against Sora’s face.Sora’s pupils shrank in fear. She shouted, "Wh… What are you doing? Let me down! Are you crazy?!"Mireille let out a cold laugh, her face contorting even more. She snapped, “Yeah! I’ve been crazy for a long time. Sora, bet you never thought this day would come, huh? Remember what you used to tell me?”Sora was silent.Mireille scoffed and sneered, “Don’t get delusional over stuff that was never yours. You were just my dog. I told you what to do, and you did it,

She's Not Worth It

Mireille glared viciously at Raina, gritting her teeth. “Kill her! Take revenge! If it hadn’t been for her, maybe you and Reid wouldn’t have broken up. Don’t you hate her, even a little?”Hate?It wasn’t as if there was none.Raina wasn’t a saint. When someone stabbed her in the back, saying she didn’t hate them would be a lie. But all of that was in the past. She truly didn’t want to waste her life stuck in what was already gone.Reid didn’t choose her. Even if that letter had reached him, he still wouldn’t have chosen her. She wasn’t going to take it out on others because of that.Who could she blame?When she thought about it, there really was no one to blame. She was tired. Those days in the past, they were beautiful. It was enough that she once had them. She had once told Reid to let go—but in truth, she should have said it to herself.

Unleashed Resentment

Sora's eyes widened as she shouted hoarsely, “Reid, you… you…”But she couldn’t finish her sentence. Her eyes brimmed with tears, and her heart sank into the abyss.Reid’s fists clenched tightly, knuckles cracking as he said in a low voice, “What else did you expect? Sora, everything that’s happened—you brought it on yourself. Did you really think I didn’t know what you were doing? You’ve let me down. Completely.”A blank expression flashed across Sora’s face. But it quickly twisted into fury. She struggled in her restraints, her voice sharp and shrill with rage. “Hahahahaha! I let you down?! Reid, anyone else can say that to me—but not you! I did all this for you! I turned myself into this monster for you! And in the end, all I get is you telling me I’m a disappointment? Hahahahaha!”R
