Semua Bab His Pill of Regret: Bab 1 - Bab 8

The wedding dress, freshly tailored to my measurements, was sent off to Fawn Lewis on Max Siegel, my fiancé’s orders.He cupped my face gently, his voice lowered into something soft yet careful.“Kate, don’t be afraid. This pill will make you forget you love me, but it’s only temporary. Once you take the antidote, you won’t remember anything that happens over the next few days. There will be no pain or sadness. We’ll go back to the way we were.“I swear, you’re the only woman I’ve ever loved. Once Fawn’s wish is fulfilled, I’ll give you a wedding even grander than we planned.”He sounded sincere, but I knew that we would never have that wedding. That was because I created the pill myself, and there was no antidote.The drug couldn’t wipe memories in an instant. Instead, it would slowly erase what the heart held most dear until it vanished, leaving nothing behind. Worst of all, it was permanent.I looked up at Max, the man still clinging to his fantasy that everyone could be happy

Even after taking back the ring, Max still texted me, reminding me to eat on time and asking if I wasn’t feeling well. However, he never came back in person.I used that time to meet up with a few close friends and have one last dinner before I left. I threw away every gift he had ever given me. Then, I scrubbed my phone and laptop clean of every trace of him.On the morning of the third day, I rolled my suitcase out the door and left without a word. While I was on the way to the airport, a wedding video from Fawn popped up on my phone. The venue looked exactly like the one I used to dream about. She was wearing the wedding gown custom-made for me and a ring on her finger engraved with my name. She held tightly onto Max’s arm as they smiled and accepted blessings from the guests.Someone in the crowd asked, confused, “Isn’t the bride supposed to be Kate? How did it turn into Fawn?”Max pulled her protectively behind him. His voice rang out loud and firm across the crowd.“Today

Life in Historia was comforting, peaceful, and surprisingly healing.The director of the research institute I joined was none other than my former partner, Steve White. Professionally, we still worked together perfectly, and what was supposed to be a year-long project ended up producing results in just three months.Outside the lab, he was witty, kind, and effortlessly charming. He pulled me out of my usual hermit mode and filled my days with laughter and light.Whenever I got lost in my experiments and forgot to eat, he'd show up right on time with meals tailored to my taste. When I was buried in numbers and on the verge of burnout, he'd crack the perfect joke to break the tension.When Danielle flew in for a visit, Steve came with me to pick her up from the airport.On the way back to the city, she gave me a sly look and nudged me with her elbow. “Babe, spill it. Is he into you or what?”I squinted toward the front seat, eyeing the handsome, lean, and ridiculously long-legged m

With Danielle’s gentle encouragement, I slowly realized I was used to Steve’s presence . When I finally told him that I was willing to give us a try, the thirty-year-old man—one of the leading figures at the research institute—lit up like an overjoyed kid.It was around that time that someone suddenly invested in my long-abandoned “Memory Loss Pill” project. Steve and I both knew exactly who the investor was; it was Max. Still, we chose to accept the funding and restart the research.I teased Steve, who was cooking lunch for me, with a smile, “Are you scared?”“Of course,” he replied before popping a grape into my mouth. His amber eyes shimmered with warmth, and he pressed a firm yet tender kiss to my lips.“But I trust your choices. You’re a woman of integrity. You would never want a love tainted by guilt or manipulation.”He really did understand me. So that was what it felt like to be with someone who was truly on the same wavelength.I smiled and gave him a sweet kiss in re
